*~*~*~*~*
Luna Lovegood stood in the middle of her room, surrounded by the organized chaos of half-packed trunks and scattered magical artifacts. The late afternoon sun filtered through the window, casting a warm glow on the room's peculiar assortment of oddities and curiosities. She glanced over at her sister Selene, who was meticulously folding her robes into a suitcase. It was a scene both familiar and foreign; the Lovegood sisters had packed together many times before, but this time was different. This time, Selene was leaving for somewhere far away.
"Why America, Selene?" Luna asked, tilting her head with her characteristic dreamy expression. "It's so far."
Selene paused, her baby blue eyes meeting Luna's with a mixture of affection and determination. "I need a fresh start, Luna. After everything we've been through... after the war... I think it would do me some good."
Luna nodded, her expression growing quieter. The wizarding war had indeed left scars, both physical and emotional, on both Lovegood sisters. Selene had fought valiantly as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, using her healing skills to mend the wounded and provide comfort to those in need. But she had also experienced firsthand the devastating toll it took on her own heart.
She walked over to Selene, her silver-blonde hair swaying gently with each step. She reached out and touched her sister's hand, her own pale blue eyes reflecting understanding and sadness. "But you're a Healer. You could stay here and work at Hogwarts. We could be closer."
Selene sighed and pulled Luna into a gentle embrace. "I know, Luna. But I need to heal too. Being here, where everything reminds me of the battle, the pain, the loss... it's too much. Celestina Cottage is a gift from grandmama. It's a chance to start anew, to find some peace."
Luna leaned her head against Selene's shoulder, feeling the comfort of her sister's presence. "I understand. You've always been more sensitive, more in tune with the world around you. That's what makes you such an amazing Healer. But I'll miss you so much. You're my sister and best friend."
