Luna shrugged and skipped over to the table. She sat down happily and pulled Sirius the pygmy puff out of her pocket.
"Sirius, this is Valley. Valley, this is Sirius- my pygmy puff!"

Luna placed Sirius gently on the table and looked at Valley.
"What's the matter?"

Luna screwed up her nose.
"Well, there can't be 'nothing' bothering you. I mean, there's always something that tends to bother people. What's your something? I won't tell anyone."
She smiled sincerely.

Luna shrugged, but smiled.
"Alright."
She picked up Sirius and began stroking him gently.
"So, how have you been lately?"

Luna giggled at Valley's mention of classes, but stopped shortly after as she remember what had been going on at Hogwarts.
"We found him the other day. He hasn't come to, yet, but I suspect that he's just tired."
She smiled.
"I've heard some things about Hogwarts- that students are leaving... Why?"

*smiles proudly to self but plasters a deep look of sorrow on her face* because their parents are afraid death eaters are going to attack Hogwarts and cart them away, just general i'm afraid so i'm going to make it so my ikid doesn't know how to protect himself kind of stuff *laughs*

Luna widened her eyes, which made them look like they were on the verge of falling out.
"I don't think it's very funny. Now, Professor McGonagall may not be exactly like Dumbledore, but I'm sure she's doing her best to keep the students safe."
She half blinked.
"Why wouldn't you want to learn how to stay safe and protected? That's a horrible thing to wish upon yourself, don't you think?"

*inwardly sighs* Luna, I don't think it's funny, i just think that it's ironic how the parents think Hogwarts is so dangerous or whatever and they are endangering there childern by pulling them out. And of course, LUna, Mcgonagal is doing a wonderful job, you know that. *stares at Luna and her eyes* Are you quite alright?

Luna finally managed to blink several times, before resuming staring.
"Well, sometimes home is safer, but I guess you're right in this situation. Hogwarts has always been the safest place that I've known."
Sirius squeaked and Luna kissed him gently on top of his head. She began coughing as she inhaled some of his fur. Assuming that Valley was asking her if she was alright after her coughing fit, she responded happily.
"Oh yes, just inhaled a little fur, that's all!'
She smiled at Valley, and then down at Sirius.
"Would you like to hold him? He loves people!"

Luna smiled.
"He likes you already!"
She leaned in closer and lowered her voice to a silvery whisper.
"Now, are you going to tell me what was going on earlier, or do I have to force it out of you?"
