Luna Scamander
Chapter 7
Luna Scamander (Lovegood) (born between 1980-1981) was a witch and daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood. Her mother accidentally died while experimenting with spells when Luna was nine, and Luna was raised by her father, editor of the magazine The Quibbler. Luna attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1992 to 1999 and was sorted into Ravenclaw. In her fourth year at Hogwarts, Luna joined Dumbledore's Army, of which she became an important member.
She participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996 and the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1997, and co-led the reconstituted Dumbledore's Army when Hogwarts fell under the control of Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort). Because of her father's political dissidence at the time, Luna was abducted by Death Eaters to be held ransom, and imprisoned in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor for months. She was freed by Dobby the Free Elf along with several other prisoners in the spring of 1998, and stayed at Shell Cottage (An Order safehouse) until she returned to Hogwarts to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts. Later in life, Luna became a wizarding naturalist and eventually married Rolf Scamander, with whom she had two sons, Lorcan and Lysander.
