Luna Lovegood was bored. After Bill and Fleur's wedding, nothing much had happened. It was all rather dull and, if there was anything Luna Lovegood wasn't, it was dull.
She lay on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. The enchanted constellations winked down at her, a lone shooting star appearing from behind her wardrobe and fading into the distance. Maybe it was time for a redecoration. Again. But her daddy had said that he wasn’t going to make any more paint, and that three new bedroom styles a week was enough.
Luna pouted. She bet the Nargles were behind it somehow. Maybe they’d hipnotised him and were controlling him, ordering him to resign her to utter boredom. Maybe she should work on her latest article for the Quibbler? She picked up the rough draft and examined it.
UMBRIDGE: BORN TOADLIKE OR… NOT?
We all know Delores Umbridge, beloved Headmistress of Hogwarts, looks like a toad. There’s no denying those puckered lips, warty skin and (strangely enough) a pink bow add up to a distinctly amphibian look, but where did this legendary hideousness come from?
Most people assume that Umbridge was just born this way, the unfortunate result of two people whose DNA combined in the most horrifying way possible- but is this really the case?
“I heard her chanted once. And croaking,” said an anonymous source in the Ministry.
“She has this weird necklace thing? I think that’s where she keeps the cat bones,” revealed another.
All of this and more combine to make the true source of her froggy looks clear: Delores Umbridge is conducting midday rituals to merge with the Toad-God Raspethin, and take his slimey powers for her own.
But she just wasn’t feeling it. Perhaps she could work on her latest painting of Ginny? She’d perfected the Charms needed for the golden lettering- but oh yes: paint. She’d quite forgotten.
Luna groaned and threw herself onto the bed. There was nothing to be done, and it was killing her. Not literally, of course- that might be exciting, god forbid.
" Luna realised. "You want to come in!" She finished the plum and slipped the stalk behind her ear. "Come in, and say hello to the Humphrilities!" Luna gestured for Ginny to enter, turning around and moving through the kitchen. She ducked through the doorway, which was about half the height of the ceiling, and turned around to check Ginny was following.
