Chapter 21: Dreamscape and the Depths of Memory
The days grew colder, and Luna welcomed the hush of winter as a companion. Snowflakes danced beyond the arched windows of Hogwarts, each one a delicate whisper from the sky. Inside Ravenclaw Tower, Luna's bed had become a quiet sanctuary, not for rest alone—but for exploration.
Every night, her dreams stretched further, painting scenes she knew weren't her own. Deserts with machines buried beneath sandstorms. Cities filled with lights that blinked like coded messages. Faces—some familiar, others not—flickering in and out of memory.

"Those aren't dreams," she murmured once as she woke, fingers trembling slightly. "They're echoes."
In Charms class, Professor Flitwick demonstrated the spell Accio.
"Ah! The Summoning Charm!" he squeaked enthusiastically. "One of the most useful spells you'll ever learn. With proper intent, distance becomes irrelevant."
Luna watched intently, her eyes locked on his small, swift wand movements. Her mind wandered again—not to dreams this time, but to her satchel by the window.
She raised her wand.
"Accio satchel."
The bag zipped through the air into her open hands.

Hermione clapped in delight. Ron muttered something about show-offs. Luna simply smiled.
Back in the Room of Requirement—now reshaped into a silent observatory with low, hovering lanterns—Luna lay in the center of a swirling diagram. It glowed faintly beneath her like a rune compass.

Around her, the mirrors of the dreamscape shimmered again. But this time, the system had added controls: a silvery tether to anchor her mind, and a glowing sigil drawn from her hair—still faintly alive with latent magic.
Through one mirror, she saw a flickering scene: a man in red and gold soaring across the sky, energy pulsing from his palms.

Iron Man.
Another showed a library—not like Hogwarts, but vast and digital, layers upon layers of knowledge encoded in strange light.

Later that week, she received a message from Professor McGonagall. A private tutoring session had been arranged—Transfiguration theory and application.
"We noticed your affinity," the professor said. "Let's explore that further."
The wand movements were complex, yet Luna's hands moved with a natural rhythm, as if recalling something older.
When she turned a teacup into a feathered quill, McGonagall blinked—just once—but her lips curved with satisfaction.

That evening, Luna sketched quietly in the corner of the Ravenclaw common room. Her drawings were strange—spiral devices, stars trapped in cubes, wand-like tools that shimmered with unreal energy.
She labeled each one carefully, even if they didn't yet exist.
"Soon," she whispered to herself, as another snowflake tapped softly against the windowpane.
