Flashes from life
Funeral
Luna Lovegood
She doesn't remember clearly what happened. She knows she heard a terrible sound and saw pretty colours (white and red and black and blue and purple), and then Mummy was there and fell down to the floor and didn't rise from there. Luna went to see her and saw how Mummy slept peacefully and didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
Then Daddy came home. Luna remembers how he saw Mummy sleeping and screamed and after that scream nothing has been like it used to be.
Daddy holds her hand and weeps, Luna wears a pretty black dress and tries to see Mummy. She knows Mummy is hiding in the pretty box in front of them and is anxious to know why she doesn't come out. They used to play hide and seek together, all the three of them, and Mummy was always so good. Daddy could never find her, it was always Luna who spotted Mummy somewhere. Then they all laughed and Daddy told about all those amazing animals he knew of.
Yesterday, before Daddy tucked her in, he told that Mummy's funeral would be tomorrow and Luna was happy, because she hadn't seen Mummy for a long time. But she can't see Mummy now, either, and she feels something hot and wet in her eyes, because some instinct in her head tells that Mummy isn't coming back and even the thought of it is too awful for a nine-year-old to bear.
Maybe – maybe funeral is just some other word to hide and seek and Mummy will come out of that box when she realises that Luna has found her.
I know Luna is maybe little too childish for 9-year-old, but she has just seen her mother die and is probably still in shock.
Now, what do you want next - an angsty Remus or a fluffish Draco?
