Luna’s life after Hogwarts is a search for answers, a nonchalant and never-ending travel to find the legends her family had depended upon for years. Forests, jungles, deserts, islands; legends, creatures, plants, facts and fictions; books, oral traditions, sciences, deeply held beliefs. 

She finds some of them, doesn’t find others. She travels, she writes, she has adventures, she barters for a night’s stay, she meets people (human and not) all over the world. She falls into brief and beautiful passions. It’s exactly what she wants. Her friends and lovers are always delighted to see her, but never expect her to stay too long. She’s happy: her world is as fluid as her mind.

Rolf, the father of her twins, is one in a long line of lovers of all genders and from all over the world. She loves him, quite a lot, but not in a way that means she’ll stay in one place, or share her boys with him. She’s a wonderful mother, teaching her boys how to fined beauty and answers, how to view the world so pain is learning experience rather than an obstacle. Even when their grandfather Xenophilius dies, Luna is a beacon of calm and wisdom in the middle of what feels to them like a storm. 

Lorcan and Lysander travel with her – learn everything they can from her and the people the three of them meet. They live a happy and nomadic life, full of love, respect, and autonomy. 

Lorcan chooses not to go to Hogwarts. He stays with Luna, helping her continue her life’s work. He finds purpose in it like she does, but his joy comes in the people they meet, the stories he hears. He loves the ones his mother tells, especially the ones from her mother, but learning new ones is more important to him than school could be. 

Lysander, though, does go to Hogwarts. He goes to school while his mother and brother travel the world. It’s the first permanent home he’s ever known, and he revels in the stability. He’s a Hufflepuff, drawn to the home and hearth in the canary yellow house that adopts him as family the night of his first September 1st. His Aunt Ginny is his favorite person in the entire world for most of his life – she is just brave and adventurous and free as his mum, but still sleeps in the same bed each night and never makes her children learn at their own expense. 

He never resents Luna, though, never could. Her love and care is more than enough for him, combined with the brick and mortar of Hogwarts…it’s all Lysander Lovegood needs.
