That's Luna to a T

"The Ones Who Walk Away From the Dark Arts"

Well done, Luna. You're probably right about the grade you'll likely receive. Luckily, though, given the extreme anti-Muggle prejudice of the Protectorate, I doubt any of the examiners recognized what you wrote. Why would they waste any of their precious time reading Muggle science fiction, after all?

OTOH, it's quite possible that Antonin Dolohov is familiar with Le Guin's work. Which may mean that Luna will be in serious trouble once Dolohov hears about it.

I don't know. Antonin has said and shown many times that he believes his duty is to teach and protect his students. He may disagree with her, he might try to change her mind. But I would bet he would avoid any public confrontation about it, just like he did after the battle at the ministry, because the moment he shows recognition he would have no choice but to hurt, and possibly destroy one of "his" students.

Of course, the moment she leaves Hogwarts, all bets are off with him. So I hope she doesn't get thrown out or have to run.

I now officially love alt!Luna even more than canon Luna, which is saying something, since she and Neville have always been my favorites among the kids.
