The Sound of Her Silence
Lucy Weasley flinched as something lightweight hit her on the side of the head, breaking her concentration. She had been studying determinedly, trying to make sure that she absorbed every piece of information from her Potions book. It was a constant source of irritance to her that she hadn't inherited her father's unwavering intelligence. Whilst she was smart, she definitely didn't live up to his standards.
She looked around wildly, and spotted her cousin Rose sitting a few seats away. She was grinning widely, her brown eyes glittering mischeviously. Lucy sighed, picking up the object that had been used to get her attention—a scrunched up ball of parchment.
It was even more of an irritance to her that Rose Weasley was so smart, yet she didn't need to work as hard as Lucy did.
'Do you have a date for the Christmas party yet?' the note read in Rose's swirly font. Lucy rolled her eyes and shook her head, throwing the note back at Rose. She picked it up and began to scribble something else. 'You need to hurry up, it's about time you lost your V card.'
Lucy felt herself flush as she read the note, and she glared at Rose before writing back. 'And how do you propose I do that?'
"Ask someone," hissed Rose across the table. When Professor McGonagall whipped around to look in the direction of the sound, she pretended to be focusing on her book, when she was in fact writing another note. 'How about I ask Hector for you?'
Lucy glanced over at the boy in question: Hector Longbottom. His family was a close friend of hers, and she had known him almost his entire life. She had no sexual interest in him. She shook her head determinedly at Rose.
'It doesn't matter who you pick. You don't want to be a virgin before you graduate, do you?'
'I don't really care! It's unimportant.'
'Well, I'm going to ask him for you.'
As Rose cleared her throat and looked towards Hector, Lily growled. "Don't you dare!"
Rose smirked, but didn't do anything.
The truth was, Lucy didn't want to ask a boy to the Christmas party, much less lose her virginity to one. It was something that she hadn' really discussed with anyone, not even her cousins or siblings—but Lucy didn't have any interest in boys at all.
Her gaze slid down the length of the table until it settled on another cousin, one who she wasn't as close to Rose. But it didn't mean she didn't love her dearly. Though, one might argue that it was in the wrong way.
Roxanne was a year older than Lucy, with coffee coloured skin and thick, dark hair, which she wore in hundreds of thin braids. She was athletic and quiet, holding a deep love for Quidditch and flying. She didn't have that many friends, but whenever Lucy saw her with her small entourage, her bubbly laugh was the most beautiful thing in the world.
But Lucy could never reveal her true feelings. After all, what would her family think?
