*“When I was a child, all problems had ended with a single word from my father. He was smart, generous, funny and, honorable without fail. He could exile a trespasser, check my potion homework, and drive the monsters from under my bed away, all before dinner. For the longest time, I thought he was invincible. And suddenly he was gone..”* - Loona reading her eulogy at her father's funeral.

**Loona Neo Longbottom** (B. November 29th, 1951) is Eugene and Augusta Longbottom's first child, twin-sister of Winifred Longbottom. Even though that she was born into a pureblooded family, the Longbottoms did not appear to be prejudiced based on blood purity, despite the fact that they are respected in the Sacred Twenty-Eight. As a result, Loona has always learnt to love and appreciate all living things and not to criticize them simply because they aren't Pureblood. Her mother was a conservative young lady, whilst her father was the polar opposite and enjoyed to joke about. Loona began to exhibit traits of both personalities as she got older. That made her a perfect match for Gryffindor. When she enrolled Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1963, she was put into Gryffindor-house along with the rest of her family.

## Personality and traits

Loona is a calm girl who is nevertheless a very extroverted and adventurous young woman. She has difficulty stepping outside of her comfort zone at times, but when she does, she has no issue creating chaos and mischief, together with her siblings, Winifred and Frank. Loona is also a very sweet, kind-hearted mother figure. Since her father passed away Loona took his role to protect her younger siblings. She always leads people to the correct pad, and if they do something incorrectly, Loona would notify them and reprimand them. She is a perfectionist who normally takes the initiative on assignments. Loona learnt many fun things like playing music, reading, writing, baking, dancing, and so on. Dancing was her favorite activity, especially when she was alone by the fireplace with her father and siblings. While her mother was knitting something, the four danced like complete Dorks. Her mother shook her head, laughing at them. The four danced till they were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Loona started to suppress her feelings after her father died. Not wanting her siblings to see her weak or sad, and wanting to keep them happy. As a result, Loona rarely exhibits significant emotions.

## Biography

### Early life (1951-1963)

The odor of sweet pure teenage love would be swirling through the dimmed halls of Hogwarts. Two young star-crossed lovers named Eugune and Augusta twisted their pinkish pinkie around each other as they stared into each other’s eyes. “My beloved Augusta, I, Eugene Longbottom; will promise hereby that I will marry you one day”. On the cheeks of Augusta was a flush of love that even the blindest man could recognize. They were each other’s best friends and each other’s deepest lovers.

Eugene kept his promise. The moment they got off the train for the last time, Eugene went on one knee for his dear Augusta. Eugene and Augusta married the next year in the late spring. Eugene and Augusta were like a perfect-fitting cozy glove. Eugene was somewhat a prankster, his goal in life was to make his fellows laugh. Augusta was more of a neat woman with a lack of humor. This way, they kept each other in the right balance.

As the time flew by, Augusta’s belly started to grow. As the trees grew cold as it lost their green gloves, their first daughter was born. On the night of the 29th of November, a fragile girl was born. Loona Neo Longbottom. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her newborn child. She already knew that she was carrying not one, but two girls. So not long after Loona, she started pushing again. A few hours later, the second child of Augusta and Eugene was born. Winifred Callidora Longbottom. The twins were the new pride of the family. Eugene had bought a cozy little home for his family near the coast, just outside of Ipswich. The house was painted light brown and the roof was the same color as dark chocolate. The little family of four lived a peaceful life with just the four of them. The twin sisters acted like one, they did everything together and did not like it to be separated from each other.

As the sister grew up, a third Longbottom child was born. Frank Longbottom. Frank was a little curious boy with a pure soul. His sisters were very fond of him and from the moment he met the sun, he looked up to them. The three grew very close over the years as they spend almost every day with their siblings. Most of the time they would head over to the beach and play by the perilous sea. The family’s favorite time of the year was Christmas. The twins would help their mother with the marvelous Christmas dinner and little Frank would help his father with finding an evergreen tree for their cozy house. In the evening, they would dance until their feet turned red to the phonograph that once belonged to Augusta’s mother.

As the time grew on them, the twin sisters grew more and more mischievous. Often they would pull doltish jokes on their household and neighbors. Just like their father did back in his young days. Old Jane, their grumpy neighbor living across the street, would often call them the devils of Ipswich. But their pranks always stayed harmless to others. Their father liked the mischievous side of his daughters as he would even help them sometimes. Frank would often get jealous of this, but as he grew older he started to understand that he could not always had his father’s attention.

When the weather got warmer, the sisters of the family got a letter. It was sent from Hogwarts and it contained a list of things that they should get for their first year. The moment they read the last line, they locked eyes with each other and screamed their lungs out of excitement. They rushed through the living room and proudly showed everyone their letter. In their first year, they were both sorted in Gryffindor.

### The moment of sorrow and grief

*10th of December, 1964.*

As the sisters entered their second year of Hogwarts, something terrible happens to the family. It was a damp freezing morning, as Augusta was enjoying a cup of tea. Suddenly the door flew open as a man stood in the doorway. He seemed clearly out of breath and was covered in mud and a red liquid. As he came closer, Augusta could recognize him. Leno Swahlm. One of Eugene's colleagues and considered one of his closest friends. Augusta stood up and helped him get safely in a wooden chair, close to the matching wooden table. With wide eyes, she looked at him in destress. He looked her in her eyes as he let out a deep breath, " Augusta..." As the words had left his mouth he would collapse for a second. She rushed to the kitchen to get the poor fellow a cup of water and when she came back, he was sobbing. " He did not make it, Augusta, it is all my fault, I should have know. " Tears were running down his cheeks, as he could not bring himself to look at her. Then it hit Augusta, as she realized who he was talking about. " What do you mean, Leno. " Her voice was trembling, as she deeply wished that he would answer something lightly. " Eugene.. He died, last night... "

The news took an enormous toll on the family. Eugene had died while serving his job. He worked for the ministry. Only Augusta knew exactly what he did, as it was kept secret from the rest of the world, even his children. The children were devistated. How could their father leave them so abruptly. Frank in particular seemed to have a hard time to deal with it, since his father was not only his father, but also his best friend.

On the day of the funeral, the Longbottoms were all dressed in black. The siblings all held each others hands. Tears escaped from their eyes. To uplift the mood, Winifred cleared her troat and looked to everyone around the grave. "Father would definitely not like all this sadness. He would say that we should not sore over his death everyday and celebrate life while it's in it's bloomin'. " She would nodd as she breathed out her sadness. Frank looked up, as he would forever remember his sisters words. Loona came up with the idea to honnor their father by desigining better pranks, to keep his spirit alive in the house.
