Luna is walking through the corridor when a group of Slytherins—led by the sharp-eyed Pansy Parkinson—spots her. They crowd around her, sneering.

Pansy: "Oh look, it’s Loony Lovegood. Did you leave your invisible friends at home today?"

The others snicker as Luna tilts her head slightly, unfazed but curious.

Luna (softly): "No… they’re just being very quiet. I think they like you."

A moment of silence. The bullies exchange glances before one shoves Luna's shoulder hard.

Slytherin girl: "You weirdo! Stop pretending to hear voices!"

Her friend grabs at the earring in Luna’s ear like he might yank it off—but she blinks up at him serenely and whispers:

"Careful... that one bites." Her tone is airy but deliberate enough to make his hand freeze mid-reach.
