Umbrella: April 12, 2032
Lucy Weasley stared outside the windows of the Three Broomsticks apprehensively. Her butterbeer was clasped in between her two freezing hands, but even that didn't cure her sudden shivers at the thought of having to go outside once more into the terrible thunder storm with nothing but a coat. Being the stupid, forgetful Weasley that she was, she had forgotten her umbrella up in the castle, leaving it sitting uselessly next to her desk.
She stood up, making up her mind in a flash to sprint up to the castle after finishing her butterbeer, and went to pay her bill. And, after having paid for her drink (it cost three whole sickles! What a rip off!), she went to stand by the door, hesitating. So, when an older man, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Luke Hopkins, opened the door cheerfully and held it open, waiting for her to exit, she had no choice but to enter the raging storm.
Slowly making progress down the winding street, she kept slipping in the wet mud. Halfway down the road to Hogwarts, Lucy was stopped by a kind hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see the smiling face of one of her seventh year students, Lorcan Scamander. "Hey, Professor Lucy," Lorcan mocked, and Lucy noticed that her eyes were now level with his chest. "Want to walk up to the castle with me?" Before she could politely refuse, he added quickly, "I've got an umbrella."
Lucy, her teeth chattering, hesitantly agreed to proceed with him up to the castle. For the first time, she noticed how handsome he was, how elegant, how kind. She even forgot to rebuke him for calling her by her first name. On the way up to the castle, they talked of many things, but not once did they talk about how much Lorcan fancied her, or how she believed that they could never be together because he was six years her minor. They only talked about how funny it was to watch everyone run around screaming in the rain, or how much fun Easter would be at the Burrow. And suddenly, Lucy realized that she was starting to fall for him as much as he had fallen for her. And to think: it all started because he had an umbrella.
