Chapter 47- seeing in a blind world

Luna's POV

As much as Luna loved and missed her mother, some days she hated her, as she left her alone with an unstable father, today was such a day.

Don't get her wrong, she loved her father with all her heart but getting ready to the first day at Hogwarts was hard enough for an eleven years old without the need to make sure your dad remembered to wear his day robe and not night robe or robejama as he calls it.

As she walked outside to see the view of her house for the last time before going to Hogwarts, she could see the entire village, as her house was on a hill, but her eyes couldn't help but wander to the house where yells of excitement, shouts of forgetfulness and bits of screams of annoyance smeared with laughter where a person who used to be her best friend before the incident.

As she looked at this somewhat magical house where so many good memories happened and signed as she turn away and thought 'I hope I would find a new friend without Wrackspurts in their ear.

10:30 AM

It took her more time then she expected but she finally made it, she finally arrived to the train and it was marvelous. The train had an aura of similar to a broom yet also similar to the extended room where her father made his newspaper.

Just thinking about her father made her tight her hold over the Quibbler he gave her before she left. It was those kind of gestures and the fact she can see the intent behind them that made her love him so much and also made her thank her mother, as even though she wasn't with her anymore, her last gift helped her everyday.

Flashback

April 25th 1990

Luna always loved seeing her mother work, as while her father always told her about magical and mystical animals, her mother showed her magical and mystical spells and artifacts, and as much as she loved animals and stories, in the end she was a child, and children loves visuals.

So it wasn't a surprise that when she heard her mother telling her father that her latest research is done and that she was ready to start experimenting yesterday eve, Luna made sure to come home early to day from her play date with Ginny and peeped through the cracks in the door of her mother's study room.

She watched her mother crave runes that were, if she remembered correctly, Egyptian and Nordic and in the middle of all of them she could see two large runes shaped like eyes that looked distinctly different from each other and then her mother stood in the middle, just on top of the eyes, pulled her wand and used some spell without Luna couldn't hear and than a bright light and nothing.

End flashback

When Luna woke up a week and a half latter she was in the St Mungo's hospital, her mom was dead and she was suffering from some known and some unknown side affects.

Her hair and eyes color changed to match her mother's and she could see much more then before, it was as if she used to be colors blind and now one eye of hers could see colors.

Her right eye could see the magic in everything and everyone with the use of colors and different kinds of shimmering, while the other eye could see the emotions, intentions, character and sometimes even thoughts of people with those things taking the shape of the mystical animals her father kept telling her about.

While an amazing ability, it was not only undocumented but also deemed out right impossible, and as a kid who read enough of her father's conspiracy theories she knew better than tell anyone about her new abilities. But as she sometimes slipped, everyone started to call her Loony instead of Luna, even her ex-best friend Ginny.

Which was why they weren't friends anymore and why she hoped to find a true friend in Hogwarts. After all, her mother used to tell her that Hogwarts friends are friends forever.

A few minutes later

Luna spent the last few minutes searching for a place to sit. Every time she opened a door the place was ether full or had children who are full with Wrackspurts- which meant they were either stupid, full of dreams without the will to chase them or full of lies they keep telling themselves and believe it.

Just as her frustration reached a whole new level she saw a door that was shimmering with a weird spell, while it felt looked similar to the spell her house was enchanted with to make it unnoticeable, it had a much purer color in it. Almost like red being purer then pink as pink has both red and white in it.

She knocked on the door and when a boy's voice made her come in she walked in to see a boy holding some sort of sound producing artifact and she held her breath, while his magic was powerful, almost as much as the professor Snapes's when she saw him one time in Diagon alley buying potion equipment that wast what made her hold her breath.

Neither was the control she saw his magic moves with, although it was amazing.

No, the thing that made her hold her breath was the fact there was not one mystical animal around him and as she walked closer the animals that were around her left, something that only happened at her mother's funeral and in the cemetery.

It was as if he was dead
