Chapter Ten; Gone!
Thanks Scrappy, I haven't forgotten about Ghost Grabbers by the way, chances are that I'll probably work on that tomorrow a little bit along with this one.
Once Luna returned to the classroom class had ended. "Lucy, I want to see you up here at my desk please." She said.
"Yes professor." Lucy said solemnly before she slowly walked over to her desk while Luna sat down in her chair.
"Now the real Lucy Potter that I know would never purposely try and hurt her own twin sister. What's going on?" she asked her.
"Why should you care?" Lucy questioned her back.
"Because I am very close to your parents and the rest of your family and so the way I see it I should care. Especially before I do something that I might regret later because I don't know the whole story." She explained.
"It just isn't fair." Lucy began.
"I'm afraid I don't understand," Luna began. "what isn't?"
"All of this that's what! I mean for the past ten years I didn't even know I was a witch! Try living the first ten years of your life thinking that you're one person and all of a sudden you find out you've been lied to! And if my mum and dad's betrayal wasn't enough, the sorting hat winds up sorting me into a house where everyone has started treating me like an outsider all of a sudden! Even my uncle and my own sister." She said sadly as she started blinking away her tears.
"Well did you try telling any of them that you feel like this?" Luna asked her.
"No," she sobbed. "I mean what's the point anyway? They're not going to listen to me. All they're concerned about is my education and that Lilly and I fulfill the prophecy." She told her.
"Now I know for a fact that that isn't true. Your parents love you very much." Luna said.
"No they don't, they only care about Lilly since she's the good daughter. I mean after all she's the one who's in Gryffindor not me. The only good thing I'm for is being the evil twin." She said before she turned around and hurried out of the room before Luna could stop her.
She didn't care what happened to her now or whether or not she would get a detention. They could expel her and she would have a smile on her face because that's just what she wanted at the moment. She wanted to run away. She wanted to run as far away from Hogwarts as she could go. Her father may have considered this place home, but all it was like to her was a prison cell.
Later on that day Luna met Hermione, Amber, and Casey out by the qudditch pitch. They sat up in the stands while Chase was training to be the new Gryffindor chaser since he was the fastest one in his class. Hermione had noted that he must have inherited his speed from his father and aunt. Luna sat down next to her as she was eagerly watching her son and cheering him on.
"Well that's ironic isn't it." Amber began. "Chase is probably going to be a chaser." She said while Luna just simply looked down at her feet. "Hey girl, are you alright?" she asked her out of concern.
"No, I'm worried about Lilly and Lucy. Mostly Lucy actually." She told her before she started explaining what had happened in their first defense against the dark arts class.
"Uh oh, it looks like Ron was right." Hermione admitted quietly. "She is turning bad."
"No she's not! I know that everyone thinks she is but she's just simply been misunderstood! I was sort of kind of thinking that it would be easier if her parents were here to talk to her about it." She explained.
"But Harry and Ginny can't come to Hogwarts, they still have James, Brian, and Molly to take care of." Casey pointed out when suddenly Sheela came running over to them.
"Well maybe Mrs. Weasley or one of the Dragons could watch them since they're taking turns watching Richie and Mia right now." Amber said.
"Mum!" she cried anxiously out of breath as Hermione quickly turned her head and looked at the worried and concerned look on her daughter's face.
"Sheela, what's wrong sweetheart?"
"It's Lucy, she's gone. I tried to stop her but I can't find her anywhere!" she exclaimed frantically.
"Now hold on for a second and calm down. Where did you see her last?" Hermione asked her.
"She said she was flying back to Godric's Hollow and that's when she just took off on her broomstick!" she explained.
"Oh no! She could get hurt out there! This is all my fault!" Luna cried.
"Don't worry Luna, we'll find her." Hermione reassured her as she stood up.
"But how? She could be anywhere." Amber said.
"We'll have to split up,.." Hermione began. "but we need backup. I'll be right back guys, I have a feeling that the famous Harry Potter is going to make his triumphant return to Hogwarts." She told them before she disapperated.
