Luna Lovegood looked into her grey eyes in the mirror. Her straggly blonde hair was no longer waist length, but dangled just beneath her shoulders, because it proved to be too impractical. Her butter beer cork necklace was tucked under the hem of her sweater and her Dirigible Plum ear rings hung from her ear lobes.
In the mirror Luna stood exactly the same way she stood as she looked into the glass. In the reflection Luna held a pair of shoes by the laces. The shoes were mud stained and dirty but you could definitely tell that they had once been bright red shoes. Luna remembered that she had lost that particular pair of shoes and had given up trying to find them, convinced that they were lost forever.
At first Luna thought her desire was to find that particular pair of shoes again but as her mind pondered on the thought she realized that there was a much deeper and metaphorical explanation to what the mirror showed. Luna desired to find everything that she had lost, from things such as the shoes to more important things such as her mother.
Luna remembered her mother's death, the flash of the experimental spell and her piercing screams. She didn't remember much after her mother's death not even memories of deep sadness. It was not that she hadn't been sad but more that she had just forgotten and no longer remembered feeling that emotion. Luna told herself that the reason behind this was because her mind refused to store sad memories for a long period of time and in many ways that was a good thing.
