Harry Potter: The Last Exodus

Luna's Sanctuary

Luna Lovegood's curiosity had been ignited from the moment Neville shared his plans for "Neville's Experiment Plantation Island." Inspired by the idea of a dedicated space for research, she found herself drawn to the thought of creating a place where magical creatures could thrive naturally. She imagined a sanctuary—a place that celebrated the beauty and mystery of each magical being. With a spark in her eye, she made her way to Harry's tent, where she found him reviewing notes on the latest continent progress.

"Harry," Luna began with a bright smile, "I've been thinking... I'd love to create a forest preserve—a sort of natural sanctuary for magical creatures."

Harry's interest was piqued. "That sounds fantastic, Luna. Do you have a location in mind?"

She nodded, already opening up a map of Mystvale. Her fingers hovered over a medium-sized island to the east, marked just a short journey across the sea from Neville's newly claimed island. "Here," she pointed. "It looks untouched—perfect for what I have in mind."

After a quick conversation and Harry's enthusiastic nod of approval, the two of them set off to see the island for themselves. The trip didn't take long, and as they approached, Luna's eyes sparkled at the sight of its lush forests and gently rolling hills. It was just as she'd envisioned: an untouched landscape where creatures could roam freely and where visitors could learn about their world without disrupting it.

Luna walked slowly through the forest, her eyes tracing the shapes of the trees and the light filtering through the leaves. She paused often, jotting down notes and sketches in her journal as ideas came to her.

"This island doesn't need much change," she said softly, more to herself than to Harry, who walked beside her. "I want to create trails and pathways that let people see the creatures, but still allow them to live as they are. Maybe some lanterns along the paths... not too bright, just enough to guide the way."

Harry nodded, impressed by her vision. "It sounds like you want a real sanctuary—a place where visitors can learn and explore without disturbing the creatures."

"Exactly." Luna's face lit up as she continued, "There could be small buildings along the trails, where visitors could stop and read about each creature. Plaques that explain their names, their diets, where they like to hide..." Her voice trailed off as more ideas blossomed in her mind. She pulled out her journal and, settling on a nearby rock, started writing everything down, her quill darting across the page as inspiration flowed.

She smiled up at Harry, a touch of excitement in her gaze. "I think I'll call it Luna's Sanctuary Island."

"Perfect name," Harry said with a grin, "and I have no doubt you'll make it something incredible."

Luna walked back to the center of the island, already planning each detail in her mind: a welcoming building for ticket sales and information, followed by carefully marked paths that led deeper into the island. Small, informative displays would dot each trail, offering visitors glimpses into the world of magical creatures.

She glanced around, envisioning where everything would go. "Some buildings for information... maps here and there, so people can find their way..." She pointed in different directions, speaking as if she could already see the lights along the paths and the educational displays hidden among the trees.

By the time the sun began to set, Luna's journal was filled with sketches, notes, and ideas. She closed it with a contented sigh, looking out over the island that was beginning to take shape in her imagination. She knew it was going to be a place of wonder—a sanctuary where the beauty of magical creatures could be appreciated by all, just as they were.
