Lily slid into the left seat of the car and turned to the window. She could feel eyes on her, but she ignored them. I could tell.
"Lily I'm soooooo excited!" gushed Alice Longbottom.
"I am too." Lily said perfectly clearly in a flat voice. I waited for someone to talk to me like they were talking to Alice and Lily. No one did.
I tapped my fingers on my knee. Everyone ignored me, even my parents. They were too busy gushing to Molly about her new Prefect position. I may as well be in Slytherin. Nobody would notice or care. Maybe Alice or Lily would. But no one else.
"Hey Luce," Lily finally said. "Did you look at your dad's stack of Herbology work for this year?"
I let out an annoyed sigh. Of course she meant Alice, not me.
"Yup." Alice replied, twisting lock of hair off her face. Suddenly she looks nervous. "Hey Luce, Lils, what happens if we get, you know, separated?"
Finally someone who addresses my presence. I sighed in the same annoyed way as before. "We've been over this a thousand times, Al." I knew that will get to her. Everyone calls Albus Potter Al, so she doesn't like it.
"Fine." She spat back. I waited some more. Everyone was dishing advice on Lily, Lorcan Scamander, Hugo, Frank Longbottom, or Alice. Hello? Did I even have the namesake 'Weasley' anymore?
I grabbed a purple pen and began writing a letter to my sister, who is Molly, who was sitting in front of me. Ha. She'll feel bad when she reads this, I thought.
Dear Molly,
Here I am, WONDERING WHY NO ONE IS TALKING TO ME, NOT EVEN MOM AND DAD, BECAUSE THEY'RE POURING OVER YOU BEING A PREFECT IN FRONT OF ME AS WE RIDE TO HOGWARTS. I'M LIKE A GHOST! LILY EVEN addressed Alice but called her luce. That's how invisible I am! There's no need to tell me how messy I write, I already know. So, feel bad yet? Feel deflated? Like a bad sister? You should. Thanks for paying attention to me. Thanks for helping me with quidditch. Thanks for giving me advice. Thanks for having "the chat" with me the night before September 1st like everyone else does. And thank mom and dad for that, too.
Love Lucy
The rejected weasley
I snorted. Give that to her and she'll laugh in my face. I look around. Maybe I'll give you a grand tour of my family! Good luck keeping up.
This is the first year since when Teddy left for Hogwarts and two years later when Vic left that the whole family's riding together, including the Longbottoms and Scamanders every time. I don't even remember the first time, and I can barely remember the second. I was ages one and three, and now I'm finally going, eight years later. It took awhile, huh?
We rented one of those huge vans. Aunt Hermione's driving, she's known how since she was eighteen. So I'll start in the first row of seats, with the driver. We expanded some of the rows.
The kids pretty much stayed away from the first row, except Molly. Even Rose decided to ride with Al instead of them. Ron's sitting with Aunt Hermione, on a joint seat we expanded. He's giving her driving tips while she ignores him.
Next is Molly, the only person Ron can stand next to him right now as Hermione keeps commenting on his crummy "tips."
Next to her is my Dad, Percy, who's educating her on all things Prefect. For her birthday her big present from Dad was Prefects who Gained Power. I'm surprised they still sell that! Don't worry; she got loads better stuff from Mum. Plus Dad gave her better stuff; he just thought the book was the best. My mum, Audrey, is sitting on the other side of Dad, having a battle with Aunt Angelina about what's better: The prefect daughter or the prankster son. Me and Roxi are cast off to the side, as usual. Did I mention that Roxi's also tragically ignored sometimes? But really, she gets more attention than I do.
Aunt Angie currently has her back to her husband, George. Next to him is the ghost of Fred. Yup. He became a ghost. Wanted to stick around, apparently.
Now we come to the middle, where my Grandmother's half crying, half laughing, with my grandfather next to her stroking her hair. It looks more like a bush to me, really. No offense, Gran.
Now on the other side of my Grandfather is Aunt Fleur. She's talking to my Aunt Ginny. Fleur is part veela, and Ginny's…..a Quidditch player for the Hollyhead Harpies! Pretty awesome, we get free tickets to everything Quidditch and we know a bunch of them personally by now.
Harry, Bill, and Charlie are finally sitting side by side, discussing the war, Egypt, dragons, Voldemort, and Half-giants. Don't ask them what they're talking about, it'll turn BORING. Just listen and you'll figure it out easily and it'll be WAY more interesting.
I move to the second row, finally. Good thing too, Ginny and Fleur are screaming at the top of their lungs.
First, in the middle, are Teddy and Victorie. Teddy was sporting his favorite jet blue hair. Victorie's got a mix: The Weasley red and blond, making it a strawberry blond that came out straight. She has pale blue eyes and white, straight teeth. Typical part veela. Now, go to the left side and you'll see Rose and Al, discussing books as always. Rose has curly red hair, not wavy, but curly. She has the Weasley blue eyes, more vibrant then Victorie's, and is taller like Ron. Albus has jet black hair, glasses, and is short and skinny. Yup, a mini Harry.
On the other side of Al are Louis and Roxi, laughing at them. Roxi's the other ignored, quiet Weasley but she's gotten more attention lately. She wasn't as quiet as she used to be, or me. But it's not like we mean to fade into the crowd. We're shy around everyone but family. Louis has white blonde hair like his mum and the pale blue eyes, perfect teeth. Roxi looks way different than any other Weasley kid, everyone's pale until her. She has mocha skin; black, long, wavy hair, and dark brown puppy eyes. She's probably even prettier then Vic and Dom, her sister.
On the other side of Ted and Vic are Fred and James, whispering prank ideas. Lysander, their other partner in crime is looking jealous, seeing as he's stuck next to his mom in the way back while Rolf has his nose I a creatures book in the way back. Back to the second row, that's it. Onto the third row, where Vic and Ted AREN'T making out (inaprops!). Alice and Lorcan are in the middle, he ditched his parents, with Lily and Frank next to them, respectively. Dom's next to Alice, giving her advice. I'm tucked away in the third row right behind Alice. There was no more room. But who cares about me, right? Did I miss anyone? Oh right, Neville's already at Hogwarts, preparing to teach Herbology, and Hannah said she'd meet us at the Platform. She's the bartender for the Leaky Cauldron.
I wince as the weight of a fourteen year old crashes down on my eleven year old self. "Sorry, Lor." Says Lysander absently, and goes back to ignoring his mum. Wow! Now I'm being mistaken for Lorcan!
A great cheer arises as we reach Hogwarts, and uneasy shivers settle all over my body. My Hogwarts career is about to begin.
A/N: hehe. I felt like it. The other chappies will be longer. I liked it, did you? TReview! Its marked Lily&Lucy so people will read it, but it's more on Lucy then Lily, kinda like my Roxanne Weasley story. But barely any Lily POV. Review!
