"Oh. So that was it." Luna said. "I was wondering too, but it's not exactly polite to ask about things like that. Of course, then you get the ones who boast about it, but generally they don't like to talk about it." Luna nodded satisfactorily. "I wasn't exactly picked on. They just didn't really like me. Except for Harry. And Ginny. And after that Neville. Hermione and Ron are still having trouble adjusting to me. As for the rest of the school, well - let's just say that they thought I was different." Luna really hadn't minded being different. She just wished that people wouldn't keep taking her things like that - it was rather inconvinient. This ghost girl was probably ostracized as well, going by what she had said, and Luna felt a brief surge of pity for her.
