GASP! I can't believe you did them too. Well, I looks as if we're sharing a brain! AND you used the portraits on the ceiling too. What you did with her cork necklace was brilliant, and I loved the fact that at the end she was able to cast her Patronus again. I also loved that Dean didn't get her attempt at humor.

I know! I was gaping at the screen last night when I saw your story up. LOL

I have this idea of the cork necklace being Luna's version of a charm bracelet - each one is a transfigured memento.

I'm glad you liked the humor bit. She really just wants someone to feel comfortable enough with her to ask her what the heck she's talking about when she says something odd, someone to talk with her long enough to know that while she's a bit odd, there is a rhyme and reason to what she's saying. Once Dean did that, he's a friend. :)

Thanks, dearest! *hugs*

It was just so nicely done, and the idea of a Charmed bracelet -- cork necklace style works very well. If we extrapolate it out a bit, it makes a great deal of sense. If her dormmates and housemates take her stuff all year long, she'd want to come up with an way to camouflage the things which really matter to her. This works because no one would take the necklace ... as they'd assume it's rubbish. Which just shows just how much she must trust Dean instinctively.

Really nicely done!

Yes! That is exactly it. I had to cut a few paragraphs due to length, and one of those mentioned her curiosity over instinctive trust of Dean. I'm so glad you managed to get to that thought even without it. :D

I think you hinted enough so that it was easy to read between the lines.
