I have taken a break from Wattpad for a while, but now I'm back. You have to do that every now and then. It gets in your head and makes you think weird things.
   So, this is my first attempt to write a Druna novel. Originally, I was a Dramione person, but Druna is interesting. Hmm, maybe I should do a Lunione. Would that work??? Please tell me. Before I make a mistake and it turns disastrous.
Vote and comment! I love those weird comments nowadays. Annnnnnywayyyy......
Enjoy! Also, the book is set in 2017, but same time frame.

Father wakes me in the morning. I smell the scent of pancakes and bacon. My favorites.

I dress in a red shirt and a pair of Wishful Park jeans. A birthday present from my friends back in February. I assume Ginny did the shopping for these. I also assume Harry did the buying.

I walk down the stairs of our new house near London. A neighborhood called Rising Bend. The houses are nice and neat and orderly, nothing at all like our demolished home in Ottery St. Catchpole. I miss the place, though this one is much safer and more stable than it. The other was near to fall to pieces!

I thank Father for my plate, which he hands me, along with a glass of apple juice. He is getting along quite well, living so close to Muggles. He even wears their clothes now, in public. After the war, Father got things together. He gave the Quibbler to an assistant and now works for the Ministry, in the Department of Mysteries. He's very good at his job, whatever it entails. He won't tell me. Mystery, mystery.

We eat in silence, then the mail comes in through the slot on the door. I pick it up as I put my plate in the sink. I sort through them.
"Father, you have a letter from Scarlet Olman, and a bill for the lights," I say,( muggle electricity is fascinating!) " And I have a ... Letter from Hogwarts? Why would I get a letter?"

I take the envelope with my name on it and tear it open. I throw the empty envelope on the table and read the top paper. The ink is green, like always.

     Dear Luna Elizabeth Lovegood,
  
     We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will find a list of necessary items enclosed. Term begins September 1. We await your owl by no later that July 31.

    We are also pleased to announce that you have been chosen as Head Girl of Hogwarts. Be at the headmistress's office after the welcoming feast to discuss this fact.

         Sincerely yours,

    Minerva McGonagall

      Headmistress  

    I suppress a scream of joy. Going back to Hogwarts? Head Girl? Me? "Daddy, Daddy, I'm going back to Hogwarts! And I'm Head Girl! Can you believe it! I have to go tell my friends!"
I bound up the stairs two at a time and trip over the last one, narrowly missing falling on my face.

I write a letter to the Weasley household.

        Dear Ron and Ginny,     
      
      Did you get your letters, too?  Another year at school, another year with friends. They made me Head Girl, did you know? I'm so excited? Who do you think Head Boy is? My bet is on Harry. Who else?

    With love,

      Luna

I write another for Harry, then send them off with my father's owl, Esther. I call Hermione on my cell phone, as she is the only who has one and the knowledge of how to use it. Harry is a close one, though.

  "Mione! The letter!" I squeal, at the same time she says, "You got one,too!"

"Of course I did, Mione. And they made me Head Girl. How great is that?"

"That's great, Luna! Did you send a letter to- to Ginny?"

I hear the cover-up in her words. Over the summer, Ron and Hermione decided they would just be friends. But she is still awkward with anything concerning Ron. Personally, I think Harry should have a go at it. Everyone knows he's crushing on her. Except Mione, of course. She wouldn't.

After the call, I start a letter to Hogwarts. I tell them I will be in attendance when  September rolls around. When Esther returns, I'll send it off with her.

I go to bed smiling and hugging a pillow I'd made with Hogwarts stitched onto it, along with an eagle in flight, for Ravenclaw.
