Luna is exactly what Hermione needed at this moment: a true friend. Well done! It was cathartic to finally see someone willing to go at Hermione's pace. Luna didn't immediately hurl her opinions at Hermione, or make Hermione feel she had to answer to Luna, and right this instant! I love Luna for not making Hermione's problems seem an imposition or personal attack. She's a delightful foil to the Gryffindor boys.

New favorite moments from the re-read:
Daphne (love that girl) helping to cut down some Romione
The older Slytherins are able to be sort of honest about their motivations and the situation they find themselves in.
The anticipation of the veneer of clean hands, this time from people who generally support Snape
Dirigible airships vs trains of thought
Luna's approach to helping her friend, especially in light of Hermione's general pedantry and her current (understandable) increase in defensiveness. It was a very sweet and gentle way to go about it.
The foreshadowing w/ Luna's mismatched shoes
