The Eleven Lies of Luna Lovegood
Chapter 2
Lie #2: Oh yes, my first week went well Dad!
No, in fact. It had not gone well. Actually, it had gone awfully. She'd lost nearly everything in her school trunk, except, she was fairly sure it wasn't lost. She wasn't the type to lose things. Someone had pushed her over on the train ride, and she'd dropped all her books. No one helped her pick them up. When she'd been sorted into Ravenclaw, she'd tried to make friends. All of her favorite things, plimpies and snorkacks and wrackspurts, were deemed unreal. Fairy tales. And everyone had giggled. But the worst part, was when someone had called her 'Looney'. The name, unfortunately, stuck.
Suddenly, every day, for all those seven days, someone had yelled, "Looney! Looney Lovegood!" She refused to turn around and answer to that name. And on the sixth day, she cried, because she'd 'lost' her wand. But that was the last time she let herself cry because of unkind things. She decided then that unkindness was never a decent reason to cry. After that, she became somewhat lost in a different world. Acquired the look of someone who'd just awoken from a nap, but wasn't quite with you yet. It was her defense, her way out. And so, when her dad asked how her first week went, she'd scrawled down a few of the better moments, and wrote hastily, and guiltily, "Oh yes, my first week went well Dad!". When she attached that letter to her owls foot, and sent it away, Luna Lovegood had told her second lie, and it didn't make the second week any easier.
