She's never really had the best home life. Her mother's a resistant Muggle bitch, her father's uptight and snooty (and the least-liked Weasley of them all), and Lucy gets everything, even though she pushes it all away. Molly's just the secondhand sister, with the overused name and the tight-lipped smile, and that never gets her anyplace.
It all pretty much sucks, and she wants to escape it, but she can't just run off with a rucksack over her shoulder - she still has two more years of school to survive, and Lucy's still her baby sister, even if she hates her some of the time, and she can't leave her alone in that house. It's all too hard, because she can't run away but she can't stay put. She can't do anything.
She only feels okay when she's around Lysander. She can't explain it; he's crass and loud, arrogant too, but his hands are warm around hers and he tells her she's pretty (Lucy's the real pretty one, though) and when she looks into his stormcloud-gray eyes she sees home. She sees hope, and happiness, and love, and with him it's all alright for a moment. There's no bitchy mother who forbids magic in the household, no cross and untrustworthy father, no perfect Lucy who gets all the attention. There's Molly and there's Lysander, and that's all she could ever need to feel at home.
