"Rivalry" is now posted! I'm very happy about this. It took so long to get this entire story on paper. I've grown quite fond of it.
I also have a new present from the lovely ByMerlinsBeard!
I promise, I haven't forgotten about Draco and Hermione. I'm just dawdling a bit. :(

Her Moment by orange_balloon
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: Luna Lovegood is an odd girl. Most of the students at Hogwarts call her “Looney Lovegood.” What’s really going on in her head? Well, no one really knows except for Luna – and the small group of Gryffindors who appreciate her for who she is.
I wanted to write this one-shot just to jump into Luna’s head for a little bit. She can sometimes be a little erratic, but in her head it all seems to make perfect sense.
