Seriously great work, left me shivering!

Luna and Sam are conversing in Diagon Alley. Now, I adore Luna but she's normally so mild-mannered that when I read this, I couldn't help thinking that this is a witch I really don't want to cross.

Especially since if he had an agenda that threatened the safety of anyone around them, she would not hesitate in hexing him unconscious.

Bet she could too.

Oh, and she gets bonus points for mentioning the green haired Malfoy:

She didn't really understand why some people didn't like cameras, either. Unless they were a Malfoy and the photo revealed them with green hair.
