Reason Number Twenty Five: Lucy looks and is a Hampton

"Pansy Parkinson?" Scorpius grinned slightly as Pricilla glared at him.

In between the two, Lucy studied the aged picture. Former Slytherins scared her, not that she met any, but the picture that Pansy brought over surely frightened her. The picture went back to 1997, during the second war. It seemed as if the Slytherin's at the time took a picture of their notorious clan and distributed copies to each.

"Really, Pansy Parkinson?" Scorpius asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"I swear Malfoy," Pricilla growled through gritted teeth. "You make fun of my mother one more time."

"Hey, Cilla, calm down." Lucy snapped and turned on Scorpius. "Pansy Parkinson happens to be a lovely name."

Pricilla seemed pleased, grinned a mischievous smile and stuck her tongue out at Scorpius, who did the same.

"And I mean really, Pansy Parkinson beats my mother's name." Lucy muttered handing the photo back to her friend before saying. "Audrey Hampton, I mean that is too plain."

Scorpius and Pricilla were both having a contest, trying to find out who tongues' was longer, both freezed. Pricilla stared at her friend, wide eyed and asked, "Your mother is Audrey Hampton?"

Lucy sat up straighter, narrowed an eye and looked around the common room. Shades of emerald streamed into the room and the three were the only ones there.

Lucy lowered her voice, "What do you mean?"

Scorpius leaned in and so did Pricilla, "No, really, she was Audrey Hampton?"

Lucy nodded, and it was one of those rare times when Pricilla's mouth dropped. "Shut up! I knew it! I knew you looked like a Hampton. Well I mean you look so much like your mother!"

"What is so wrong with my mother?" Lucy demanded crossing her arms. "Tell me!"

"They never told you?" Scorpius asked.

"Told me what?"

"Lucy," Pricilla started and they all settled on the squashy, olive couch, in front of the common room's fireplace.

"Did you parents ever tell you about the Hampton Five?" Lucy shook her head and Pricilla continued. "Well, almost everyone knows. I guess your parents never bothered to tell you. During the first and second war, many people were left broke. Gringotts had a policy on lending, loans. That's when the Hampton Five came in."

"Almost everyone knew about them." Scorpius continued and paused, making sure Lucy was still with him. "People went to their business in numerous places. They were a major franchise. When no one had money, the Hampton Five was the last resort."

"Okay, where is this going?" Lucy interrupted. "What does this have to do with my mother?"

"We're getting there!" Pricilla snapped. "Your mother's dad was the founder of the Hampton Five."

"My mother's father died when she was five!" Lucy retorted.

"Then they lied to you." Scorpius pointed out. "Your mum's father, mother and three older brothers ran the business. That explains the five, but they would also give as many loans as they could to the people who needed it."

"But one family, was limited only, five, loans." Pricilla continued. "The family was given as much time to pay off the loan, yet few did. The money on the other hand, was stolen. Your mother's parents and siblings may have run the business, but their employees, made it. Hundreds of people were hired to steal galleons from anyone. That's where they got the funds."

"The Hampton's scheme was later found out." Scorpius said, cutting Pricilla off. "During the second war, they were all on the run, except for your mother; because it was proven that she had nothing to do with the controversy. The Hamptons owed over five hundred million galleons to the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry, were just going to throw them all in Azkaban for a few years, but The Dark Lord had a different option. He thought he could use the Hamptons during the war, you know; steal not only money, but everything."

"Your relatives declined though, and they were murdered and found at your mother's apartment." Pricilla said as Lucy's terrified face, seemed to become even more frightened. "Your mum went on the run because everyone though she was the one who killed them. She was missing for over five months and was injured when she ran away. Your dad found her in an alleyway and took her in."

"After the war, your mother's name was cleared, but she was in charge of paying off the five hundred million galleons." Scorpius said. "That was until, your dad helped clear her of all the charges. Everyone hated and still hates the Hamptons. They think the only reason your mother married your dad, was so she could be seen as someone other than a Hampton."

"Scorpius shut up." Lucy snapped, closing her eyes as if in pure pain, hearing the truth. "My mother and father were classmates. They loved each other."

"You're just like her." Pricilla muttered. "Stubborn Slytherin."

"Excuse me?" Lucy asked. "My mum was in Gryffindor."

"Cilla." Scorpius said through gritted teeth as Lucy's mouth began to open.

"You're not telling me-,"

"Yes, I am." Pricilla said sadly, "She was in Slytherin."

"What else will they not tell me?" Lucy groaned plating her face in one of the sofa's pillow.

"That you're not really their daughter?" Pricilla said and it was Scorpius's turn for his mouth to drop.

"Cilla, I swear." Lucy's muffled growl was so intense that it made Pricilla quickly say, "Kidding, kidding."

"You better be, unless you hope to go home this Christmas in nothing but flesh and bones." Lucy snarled and began to pace.

"What the hell is your problem?" Pricilla snapped getting up as well. "It's not my fault your mother had a problem."

"Don't you say anything about my mother." Lucy warned and two girls were ready to pounce on each other.

"You were the one bashing at her in the first place!" Pricilla shouted and the two were inches away from each other.

"Girls, girls." Scorpius said stepping in between the two. "Come on, it was history. No need to be upset. Parents, are parents, they mess up."

"Easy for you to say." Pricilla snapped.

"Oh shut up Cilla, as if your parents are any better." Lucy spat.

"You take that back!"

"Make me."

"Fine!"

As Scorpius watched the two girls wrestle on the floor, he couldn't help, but notice a dark shadow, blocking part of the window that illuminated shades of green into the common room. As he turned around the shadow instantly disappeared and he quickly pulled the two girls apart.

"Stop it! Stop it!" he demanded and lowered his voice. "Someone just watched us and you two better hope they don't leak it."

"What are you talking about? The only way outside is the common room entrance. Everywhere else is surrounded by the lake." Pricilla said and they all looked toward the window.

"It could've been a fish." Lucy panted.

"But there was a head." Scorpius said.

"Fished have heads Scorpius." Pricilla sighed as the two girls started to walk toward their dormitories.

"You two won't kill each other along the way?" Scorpius asked watching them at the doorway.

"We may fight."

"But we will always be friends."

"You two are impossible." Scorpius sighed.

"It's a girl thing!" Lucy yelled before they all said goodnight.

What he see?

The Zabini and Weasley Girl fighting.

Oh really?

The Malfoy kid spotted him though.

No…

Yes, he did.

It will ruin everything.

No, it won't, we can still get the Ministry.

And how is that?

Inside person well used to be. He worked there, close with almost everybody.

Can he get in?

Yes

Perfect

"Shut up!" Lucy screamed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Pricilla said pulling back a bottle. "I didn't know you hated purple."

"Sorry, not you." Lucy said grabbing the bottle and started to lightly paint her nails. "Just my head messing with me."

Lucy is the way she is because she is a Hampton.

If only it were not a bad thing.
