A lot of this is going way over my head. Does anyone know how much of what's going on is supposed to be possible to figure out a) just from earlier chapters, b) from other sources (original HP and HPMoR?) c) not at all until later d) not at all

lsusr has elsewhere stated and revealed an aesthetic/didactic/philosophical preference for ambiguity and spareness in zir prose, especially in fiction; I think the idea is that the reader should be able to infer the entire underlying story from the bits (literally) disclosed by the words, and also that the words have been stripped of non-informative stuff to the greatest extent possible without making the story unreadable.

Luna Lovegood and the Fidelius Curse is the sequel to Luna Lovegood and the Chamber of Secrets [? · GW]. I have combined the two sequences into a single sequence to clarify the relationship between the two stories.

Ah, remembering that exists and re-reading it definitely helped somewhat. I'm still rather lost but more manageably so :)

I think it's supposed to raise that question. :)

"I'll tell me who informed you of me if you answer my question," said Luna.
Are all the pronouns in this the intended ones?
If a person or organization is willing to lie to you once that means are willing to lie to you.
"they are willing"

Luna's mother would never sell her daughter in exchange information she could deduce for herself.
