A Sonnet for Luna Lovegood

I saw you reading something upside down

In your compartment, wand behind your ear;

Corks strung in a necklace led me to drown

Within your eyes, blond hair, a new frontier.

We saw thestrals flying unlike others

Their shrill, strange yells so like our beating hearts

Sharing memories and pains together

As ones who had their families ripped apart.

Fighting side by side in more than battle

We were friends, almost lovers in a way

But your world and soul I could not rattle

And watched as you wore yellow on your wedding day.

You were beautiful, a dirty blonde sun

Eclipsed by your new husband, what can’t be undone.
