HP drabble: Year's Turning [Luna, general]
Title: Year's Turning Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Character: Luna Rating: general Length: 100 words Summary: Luna has an annual ritual. Note: Written for the holidays, 2009.
"The holly and the ivy," Luna sings, her breathy voice hanging in the still air. She reaches with mittened hands to brush away the snow from the stone.
Names leap out at her. She reads them aloud, one by one, before laying her offering of greenery at the stone's foot. The dead crowd around her as they do each midwinter.
Neville asked her once why she came at this time, instead of on the anniversary of the battle. She does it because this is the dawn of the new year, a time to recall the past and face the future.
