It's cold out, but even before her imprisonment Luna had never been one to be entirely cognizant of the vagaries of weather. She's at least wearing shoes and an appropriately warm sweater, which is certainly an improvement over her more carefree days at Hogwarts.

She never thought she'd be glad not to be at Hogwarts, but given the strangeness of this world and the fact so few of her friends would be there, she's grateful that he time now consists mostly of working at the bookstore in the morning. The rumblings of those once from Dumbledore's Army and the Order are things she's been tentatively keeping track of when she's not working, but sometimes even that gets overwhelming.

It's certainly overwhelming now, given the buzz of the fact Dean and Bill had vanished without a trace. It's that along with her own ghosts that have Luna sitting outside on a park bench now, absently watching the birds fly about.

It's so much easier to breathe when there aren't walls surrounding her. She wonders if that's ever going to get better.
