Luna could not take what she was feeling for much longer so she decided to slip out and see if she could track those odd footprints from a few days before. Her plan had been a nearby park but she had no idea a band of locals had been watching and decided she would be one of several examples made that day. As she walked (happy her wand was safely hidden back in Malanore) she was catcalled and basically insulted. "Come on trampy, show some leg!" one hissed at her. But Luna simply kept walking, trying to hold her head high in spite of everything. "Stupid little flea! All you're good for is being pretty!" another screamed. Several more wolf whistled,"You should just accept it, you stupid babies are nothing but walking meat!" as she was mooed at. "You're a ho!" another hissed.
That was when she was slammed against a tree with enough force to knock her flat.
"Stupid bratty cow!" as a few of the locals that followed her started throwing raw eggs, at least one pie and a few cloves of garlic to start. "We're gonna make you an example, true locals will always win!" the leader hissed as a red fruit drink was poured into Luna's hair (making it look like she was bleeding). "Keep it coming boys! We're going to show those fleas we mean business!" as the punches, thrown food and abuse (physical and verbal) kept flying. She was called pretty much every name in the book since by this point she had zoned out, having taken her share of this at Hogwarts the skill came in handy. "You little freaks should just be meekly doing everything we say! We're the bosses now!" the leader was in sheer glee as another cup of fruit drink was dumped onto her. But after at least 30 minutes of being beaten and insulted almost non stop the leader called it quits.
"Let the slut go, if she can even walk! We made our point, we are the bosses and they will pay dearly for not doing what we order. Example made boys!" as they threw the last of the eggs before finally leaving her behind a dumpster. "Let's see how many even dare to disobey now!" another giggled with glee. "Which little freak is next?" one asked as they eventually left.
Luna finally came out of the haze and saw she was basically black and blue with bruises and covered in small cuts. She also realized she was reeking of garlic and maybe a pie? But she quickly realized she had to get back into Malanore. So after what felt like hours (but was really maybe 45 minutes) she whispered an Apparition spell and quickly found herself back in the lobby.
Sure it was risky but she was desperate.
"At least my earrings are in one piece." she saw her radish earrings were still jingling in her ears.
