The Last of the Pure-Blood Weasleys: Sinclair Avery
When Lucy is twenty her sister marries a muggle. Lucy thinks it's funny how he deals with the Weasley family, and how he always offers to help clean the dishes or to chop something. He's always amazed by magic. He's always so.. Lucy doesn't want to call him dumb, but he almost is. Who washes dishes by hand? About a year after they are married Molly is pregnant, and Lucy knows she is truly the last of the pure-blood Weasleys. And though she doesn't dare tell anyone this, she's actually a little happy about it.
After graduating Hogwarts Lucy gets a job at the Ministry in the Magical Law Enforcement Department. Mostly she is in training to be a judge, but she also does some secretarial work for the Wizengamot. A few people even suggest to her that with the current path she's on she might become Minister of Magic someday. Every time they tell her that she feels swoop of pride.
At age twenty-two Lucy decides to take a long lunch, at the Three Broomsticks. There she is surprised - but happy - to see an old friend from Hogwarts. She and Sinclair Avery are the same age, and during her first year he was the first one to point out that she was a pure-blood - a pure-blood Weasley. Who knew they still existed?
Somewhere in the back of her mind Lucy knows he harbors some prejudices against non pure-bloods, but otherwise he's very nice. Sinclair offers her a drink and it's not long after that she returns to the Ministry to collect her things; she's leaving early. No body rally cares. It's a Friday and she's been staying late the past couple days. From the Ministry she takes the Floo home before appartating to a muggle restaurant she's never been to before.
Sinclair is standing outside, looking relieved to see Lucy walking up to him - it almost seems as though he expected her to not show up. Inside the restaurant they catch up. He says he's sorry about Jack, but Lucy laughs it off and tells him the whole story. She feels relieved when he laughs too - brilliant move Sinclair tells her.
At the end of the evening, Sinclair kisses her cheek and asks her is she'd like to join him for brunch next weekend. She says yes, and spends the next week thinking about her family, and what they - what Molly - would say.
