Victoire and Lucy
Thanks for continuing to read, I promise in future chapters you're going to get to know Victoire better but Hogwarts is kind of her bitch phase do bear with me.
"Lucy over here!" Vic's voice rang out through the great hall. Lucy looked over at the Ravenclaw table where an assortment of Victoire friends, weighed down by a lot of make-up, and Vic herself waved her over. Roxy gave a sympathetic smile and squeezed her hand knowing what poor Lucy was going to have to endure.
"I'll come and get you before class starts." Roxy told her cousin before walking over to the Gryffindor table and taking her place beside Domi and Cody. Lucy watched her go and for the first time since she had been sorted two nights ago she wished she had been sorted into Gryffindor like her father rather than being a Ravenclaw. She'd barely been at Hogwarts forty-eight hours and Vic was already driving her up the wall. She took a breath and braced herself before making her way towards her cousin and her friends at the Ravenclaw table. God she hoped Molly wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw, they could barely stand each with the distance never mind being in the same house, someone would die. Lucy took a seat and started plating scrambled eggs onto her platter.
"So little cousin how was your first few nights in the Ravenclaw dorms?" Vic asked her and all of her friends seemed eager to hear her answer.
"Everything was fine thanks." Lucy replied before beginning her breakfast.
"Really? I thought for sure someone would have picked on you by now." Vic replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Lucy looked at Vic and her friends confused. "Why on earth would you think that?" She asked.
Vic's friends giggled before Vic replied. "Well it's just you're a bit of a nerd Lucy and nerds are at the bottom of the food chain but not to worry we're going to teach you to be cool." There were nods of heads and murmurs of agreement from Vic's friends.
"No thanks." Lucy replied.
The murmurs stopped and Lucy could feel all eyes on her. "Don't you want to be cool and popular little cousin." Vic asked her, disbelief in her voice.
"Does cool and popular mean be exactly like you?" Lucy asked.
All heads in the group nodded. "Of course it does silly. Vic is the coolest girl in Hogwarts." One of Vic's followers said.
"And the most popular, even over senior students." Replied follower number two.
"And she's by far the prettiest too." The last follower added to the conversation.
"Then definitely no thanks," Lucy replied venomously before turning back to her breakfast.
Every one of them looked at Lucy as if she had grown a second head. "You have to make sacrifices to be popular Lucy." Vic told her.
"And do these sacrifices include my personality, my looks, my friends, and my bookworm ways? Why not just take my soul, bottle it and be done with it?" Lucy spat out at her cousin.
"I guess it was stupid of us to think we could make you cool, I mean you are literally the most boring person to exist, well maybe you're a little more exciting than your dad!" Vic spat back.
"How dare you insult my father. He may not have the most exciting job in the world and he may not be the most accepting person ever but at least he doesn't treat me like an entitled little princess like your father treats you." Lucy said her raised voice attracting attention from fellow Ravenclaws.
"My father does that because he loves me."
"No he does that because he's scared of losing your love, you see Vic, and love with you is conditional. You only love if you get a benefit from it. He's scared that if he doesn't give you want you want then you won't love him anymore, my father knows that no matter what I will still love him." Lucy lectured her cousin. "And do you know what Victoire, you may be popular and cool but do you know what else you are? A bully. You make those around you feel small and insignificant because it makes you feel important. You think its bully or be bullied but you're wrong, if you just took the time to get to know people you would see that. And what have you done to these poor girls." Lucy gestures to Vic's three followers. "They've lost their independence, their ability to think for themselves because they're too busy following you, agreeing with you. That's not friendship that's employment, friends tell you the truth even if you don't want to hear it. You employ these girls to make you feel good and I will not be one of them, I will not be a part of it and I won't change who I am to please you or anyone else. Goodbye Victoire." Lucy practically shouted before getting up from the Ravenclaw table and walking away.
She was aware of the many people in the hall staring at her after the argument but she didn't care.
"Lucy where are you going?" Victoire yelled after her.
Lucy turned to find Victoire glaring at her. "To sit with my real friends." She yelled back.
She made her way over to the Gryffindor table and sat down across from Domi and Roxy next to Finnigan who looked like he was hyperventilating over something. Many of the Gryffindors gave her strange looks, the kid next to her was burning a hole in her face. She turned to him. "What the hell are you staring at?"
The kid quickly averted his eyes in pure fear and many of the others staring did the same. Lucy turned to face her cousins. "From now on I'm sitting with you three at breakfast okay?" And with that statement Cody Finnigan promptly passed out next to her.
"What's with him?" she asked not too concerned.
Roxy and Domi just shrugged and they continued to eat their breakfast until it was time for class.
A little Lucy/Cody ending, hoped you liked it.
