Arabella, intrigued rather than dissuaded by Tom Jones' warnings, has posted a message.

Luna reads through the entire note with a vague sort of interest and approaches Arabella, wand tucked behind her ear.

"You might want to ammend that to read 'Witches and Wizards', actually," she says, giving her a wide-eyed look. "But if you're looking for one of the latter, I'm right here."

Arabella is rather surprised, but, being polite, also hides it well. "You perform magic?"

[loonyradish]

"I do! Well, not always, but when it's necessary. I'm Luna Lovegood."

"Arabella Strange," she replies, and pauses, trying to think of a way to say what she means. "I have always been taught that magic is a profession best left to gentlemen."

"Oh, no, that's not the case at all. I attend a school called Hogwarts, and I think it's fairly evenly divided between males and females."

"Ah! And any may attend this school?"

[loonyradish]

"Most students are sent an invitation when they turn 10," Luna replies, and then, rather obliquely (as a lot of what she says often is). "I was sorted into Ravenclaw."

"How interesting! What, I beg, is a Ravenclaw?" She laughs, realizing that the name is apparently rather self explanatory. "That is, what do you mean by it?"

[loonyradish]

"There are four different Houses in the school," Luna explains patiently. "And depending on what you're like, you get sorted into a certain House. I was sorted into Ravenclaw because I want to learn everything, and I'm curious about everything. There's also - Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. I think the name Hufflepuff sounds a little silly, but they're all really nice people."

Smiling, "If you will forgive me, all of the names sound a bit silly."
