Lucy Weasley

Author's Note: So this is Lucy! And I must confess that I originally imagined her as a Gryffindor and then a Hufflepuff, but then somewhere along the lines I thought maybe she could be a Ravenclaw. I also found a love for Percy when I was writing this because he's probably the dorkiest dad ever, but I imagine he's also one of the sweetest. Sorry you guys had to wait so long for the update. Any suggestions as to who I should do next?

1. Lucy was named after people, just not in the same sense that Molly and James and Albus and Lily were. Instead she was named after Lucy Pevensie, her mother's favorite character in the stories that she'd read in her childhood. Even her middle name, Helen, was stolen from Helen of Troy. At first Lucy hated that. Then when she found out that if she hadn't have been Lucy her father would have named her Muriel she was glad to be Lucy.

2. At the tender age of three Lucy was visiting her grandparents when her favorite song came on the radio. Immediately she jumped on the couch and started belting it out. Afterwards Arthur suggested that she might make a mighty fine rockstar and she instantly fell in love with the suggestion. From then on she was determined that would be exactly what she'd do with her life, no matter if it took her until she was eighty to achieve.

3. Once when she'd been about twelve years old Molly and she had gotten into a fight over something which Lucy can't even recall. In her rage she'd called her sister a bitter old hag and stormed off. Immediately afterwards she felt sorry and set out to write a song to her sister in hopes of reconciliation. Since that day Lucy has been especially careful to watch her tongue, not wanting to see anyone bawl the way that Molly did that day.

4. Everyone had expected her to be a Gryffindor. She'd always kind of wanted to be a Hufflepuff like Molly. But the hat seemed to think she was best fit for Ravenclaw and that was were she got stuck. But she never felt as though she quite fit in the house. Her marks were terrible because she was constantly daydreaming. Her professors were on her back about it all the time. Sometimes she wanted to scream and curse the hat for placing her in the house. Deep down she was flattered that it had thought her intelligent enough when no one else did.

5. Lorcan Scamander was her best friend, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. She thought it was cool that he was named after a rockstar. She thought it was even cooler that he could drum. But the most amazing part about him definitely had to be the fact that he didn't care what other people thought about him. He was the bravest person she'd ever met and he wasn't even a Gryffindor! Mostly Lucy just liked him because he could always make her smile.

6. When asked what her big break was she always says that it was her uber cool sister's graduation party. Lucy had been in shock when Molly had requested that her band play, but she'd been so jazzed about it that she immediately ran off to write a bazillion songs. It certainly had panned out too because all of Molly's friends had been raving about it for weeks afterwards. But mostly the look on Molly's face when she finished the song written specifically about her had been the best part of that day.

7. It had started out as the worst day of her life. She was sulking in her common room, brown hair all messed up, and her ugly glasses that she hardly ever wore on her face. Lucy had refused to eat anything that day and couldn't even be bothered to change out of her pajamas and go to class. Lorcan came back from class to find her moping there and told her how beautiful she looked when she was upset. Lucy had blushed furiously and started pointing out the stains on her clothes and the rats in her hair when he'd grabbed her and kissed her for the first time. It became the best day of her life.

8. There was only one time when Lucy didn't like her father and that was when he tried to persuade her that being a rockstar wasn't a legitimate job. Certainly it was though. He kept trying to force her into summer internships at the ministry and bringing home pamphlets about the ministry and all this other stuff. Eventually Lucy got so fed up with it that she threw the pamphlets in his face and stormed out of the house. She ended up back on the doorstep in an hour and a half in tears and when she did Percy vowed never to bother her about it again.

9. When her band had her first big show in London she'd tried to talk her father into coming, but he said he had work to do and couldn't make it. Lucy hadn't been that disappointed in a long time. That night when they'd been about halfway through the show her she saw a familiar redhead duck through the doors and make his way to the front of the crowd. Then her dad had started trying to dance like the kids all around him and Lucy couldn't help but laugh. Nevertheless she asked her dad to come up on stage and sing with her and it didn't even matter to her that he danced like a dork or that he was really off-key. She knew her mother must have laughed when her dad got so into it that his glasses ended up tumbling off stage and everyone in the crowd had to stop and look for them.

10. She never thought that she would get married before Molly. Marriage and kids had been a dream of her sister's for as long she could remember. But Lorcan proposed halfway through her seventh year and that year and a half before he graduated and they got married was the longest of her life. Fortunately, Molly was there to help distract her and also make sure that the wedding would go off without a hitch when the time came.
