Title: A Different Kind of Ravenclaw Rating: PG House: Ravenclaw Word Count: 209 Warnings: Post War, EWE, AU. Summary: Our favorite Ravenclaw student reflects on her house.
{Me Note: This is unedited so sorry for mistakes. This is Luna-centric, but still focuses on the traits of Ravenclaw House, hope you all like it!}Luna sat down in the Great Hall, at the end of her table. Flipping through her upside down Quibbler, she ignored the whispers and mocking she could hear around her. She knew that her housemates (and the rest of Hogwarts) questioned why she was sorted into Ravenclaw. They thought it was absurd that “Loony Lovegood” was sorted into the house known for intelligence; after all, she was insane! But Luna knew better than to listen to them. She knew that Ravenclaw prized intelligence and creativity, things which Luna new she possessed. The reason Luna differed from her housemates was because of one trait; open-mindedness. Normally Ravenclaws were rather narrow minded. Focusing on their studies and other things proven in books. They wouldn’t think Luna so strange if they would only open their minds to the possibilities. Ravenclaws never wanted to be wrong, because all they had was the claim that they were the smartest. So they stuck to what they could prove and study for and recite in front of the class. Luna didn’t mind being different. She didn’t mind being wrong. What did she have to lose, if she didn’t try, she would never know. So maybe she was a different kind of Ravenclaw. She didn’t mind.

So maybe she was a different kind of Ravenclaw. She didn’t mind. I love this. I also like how you wrote her charcter in contrast to the other Ravenclaws.

Thanks! I went through about 20 different ideas, but I ended up writing this.

Excellent portrayal of her character, Hannah! I love the way you've justified the way that Luna stands out, and how she is content with herself despite being very aware of how she's teased. Everything I love about her!

Thanks Jess! Luna really is an interesting character, that was the first time I've written her- it was fun.
