lucylorcan; dimming star
as requested by what stars are
.
She comes from a family from outer space, because they've got suns and moons and stars and supernovas everywhere. The ones that burn, like Victoire; the ones that glow, like Roxanne; the ones that shine, like Rose; and the ones who (positively) blaze, like Lily Luna.
But Lucy destroys, so she's a black hole.
She's sardonic and twisted, her tongue sharp enough to slice a knife in two and her hair is brown and blonde and red and black and blue and anything it could be, depending on what she decides for the day. Her touch is the devil's fingertips, as she trails it along faces and hips and lips, burning everything down before her. It's such a shock that she's Hufflepuff, because some days he swears she's part-snake.
She used to be a star, glowing and shining in the little Weasley/Potter cosmos of her family, but too many girls came along and too many boys looked away, so her light dimmed. And she's still that dimming star, because even though her heart is black and sucks in everything hopelessly, she still has one, so she's not too far gone yet.
"You're different." she states one day randomly, as they lay by the lake so he can possibly spot the Giant Squid (he's always add this keen fascination with animals), and he can only smile dreamily because he's been told that his whole life.
"As are you." he replies, in that odd language of his. She rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and her blue-yellow-green-red-whatever curls bounce about.
"No," she says firmly, "I mean, you never visit me just to make out. You always wanna, like, talk n' stuff - "
"I like talking with you." he answers honestly. "Your opinion is interesting to hear - even if you do think Nargles are...what's that word you used?"
"Crap." She smiles, and then he's smiling, even if he's not entirely sure why because it's just a simple Muggle word, but then her smiles are so rare and so pure in between smirks and scowls that he can't help but cherish when they arrive. It reminds him she's still a girl, with just a little too much ambition and sarcasm for her own good, and her light gets just a little brighter, her self just a little stronger, every day he can make her smile.
