    Saw this fic last night and enjoyed it, so far. The first realistic story where Luna isn't acting all Looney for a reason. 4/5 for now(only 4 chapters) Well Written.

    Erm... I don't know... Seems to be destroying Luna's personality. Then again, I guess most fanfictions don't even get close to the real 'Luna Lovegood'.

    2/5

    The moment where Luna talks about the Cannabis cigar I stopped reading. As much fun as smoking weed might be in real life - it has absolutely nothing to do with the Luna I like to read about. Nothing. And reading a story where her character is butchered that badly... meh. Can think of something better to do.
    That said, the writing was pretty solid. Nothing exceptional though. And the characters in general were very OOC... not as bad as Luna herself, but still fairly bad.

    2/5 from me.

    Yep indeed Luna isn't acting "all loony ", which for her character means she's not Luna anymore.

    Not only that but the whole story comes falling out of the air (why did the death eaters kill her father, he's not an order member or someone important, so why?).

    And I want to read harry potter fanifiction, not about some teenagers getting high on muggel drugs.

    2/5 ...Barely

    Luna is totally different.

    I read on past the cannabis cigar, because I was curious about what would happen. I stopped when Harry became stoned and then had sex with Luna, thinking he loved her, and he knew she loved him. How did all of this happen in one night, especially when they're STONED?

    Not very realistic at all. 1.5/5

    Anyone else have an opinion on this story before it's shifted to the Bin?

    Yeah it sucks. I thought it was good in the beginning but I was wrong, very very wrong :(

    So you didn't finish reading it before posting it? Why would you do that? It is like the most idiotic thing to do ever.

    Totally surprising that he'd have a drastic reversal of opinion when the mob was in opposition to him. I mean, we've never seen anything like this before.
