Reason Number Thirty Six: Lucy inherited her lying skills from her family
"Daddy." Lucy said, opening the front door, revealing Tristan. "Someone's here."
"Who?" Percy asked, walking over to her.
Knowing the rough relationship between the two men, Lucy quickly said. "Uncle Bill."
"What? Why?" Percy muttered, coming from behind her to stare at the person who arrived.
"Tristan." He said cooly, shooting this look at his daughter. "What brings you here?"
"May we talk?" he asked, entering the house.
"Well-,"
"I'm taking that as a yes." Tristan said and turned to Lucy, who inched closer to her dad. "Hello Lucy."
"Hi." She plainly said. "Are you trying to beat up my Uncle Charlie again?"
"Aren't you a little talker? Good liar too." Tristan snapped, ruffling her hair as Percy stepped in front of his daughter.
"I'm sorry about her." He apologized and turned to Lucy, whispering, "Honey, go to your sister."
"Sure, beats being with my killer Uncle." She said, turning away.
"Such a sweet daughter." Tristan said as Percy led him into the kitchen.
"Molly!" Lucy said, barging into her sister's room. "Tristan's here!"
"No." Molly gasped in disbelief and stood from her bed. "He's not."
"Yeah, downstairs with dad." Lucy said as the two ran out the room and listened from the second floor.
"Gosh they're loud." Molly said, leaning onto the railing.
"Audrey's better. She is." Tristan said. "I visited her today."
"Did you?" Percy asked.
"Yeah, I did. She's getting a lot better. The Healer told me she would be able to come home."
"Now?"
"Yes, now Percy. Didn't you hear me?"
"Yes I heard you." Percy snapped. "Why do you even care about her? You're the one who attacked her in the first place."
"I did not."
"I walked in on you torturing her!" Percy yelled. "And you think you can just get away with it?"
"Well I did." Tristan said sharply. "Have you told anyone else besides your brother?"
"I-,"
"You see. You're not telling anyone because it would look bad to know that you just let me torture your wife."
"Just leave Tristan. I don't want to see your face here again."
"Don't worry you will. Once Audrey gets better, she'll be dying to see her big brother."
"You think she'll forgive you after what you did?"
"Yeah she will, because I think the memory charm I cast on her was pretty strong."
"You...what?"
"You heard me Perce. Memory charms are the biggest lifesavers."
Molly and Lucy looked at each other as Tristan made his way out the kitchen and look up at them.
"Bye girls." He said with a sly grin.
"You are the biggest bastard ever." Lucy yelled, Molly hesitantly nodded in agreement as Percy watched the scene.
"I love you too Lucy." Tristan said before going out the door.
"I love you too Lucy." Lucy mimicked.
There was a strong, moment of silence as Percy walked up the stairs, kneeling down to his daughter's height.
"Lucy…" he said slowly. "I better not hear you swear again."
"Dad." Lucy started. "You know that swearing was the right thing to do."
"You're glad I'm agreeing with you on this." Percy replied and looked at both of them."How about we go see your mother?"
"Our Uncle's crazy you know." Lucy said as the three stood behind a man who was throwing up pink-colored snails all over the place.
"Tristan?" Percy asked, looking down at her.
"No, all of them." Molly said and he just smiled.
"Third floor." The receptionist, who was the same woman said in an irritated tone. "Next."
As Percy and the girls went up she said, "You again? Well Mr. Weasley, your wife just so happens to be on the fifth floor waiting for you."
"Excuse me?" Percy asked.
"You heard me Mr. Weasley." She repeated. "Your wife is on the fifth floor waiting for you."
"Why?" Lucy asked, the woman narrowed her eyes.
"Because your mummy is better Hun." She said in a rehearsed, sweet voice.
"Thank you." Percy said quietly, pulling his daughters into the lift.
"Strange." Molly said as the doors closed. "How come mum knows we're coming?"
"She doesn't." Percy answered worriedly, not looking at them. "She doesn't know we're coming."
"Then I bet you the stalker told her." Lucy suggested and Percy shot her a look.
"Lucy, no one is stalking us."
"No, someone is stalking us." Molly said in her sister's defense. "We're not dumb dad, we know what's happening."
Lucy's mouth opened slightly, never really seeing Molly talk back to their dad before.
"Molly," Percy started slowly. "Lucy, no one is stalking us. It's just someone is sending gifts to our house."
"That's not accounted for as stalking?" Lucy asked as the doors of the lift's opened.
"Oh Lucy, please just let it go." Percy pleaded as they made their ways through the corridors.
"But if no one is stalking us then-," Lucy started but was cut off.
"Perce!" Audrey cried out, running into his arms.
"H-hi honey." He said, stumbling slightly, by the sudden impact.
Crouching down, Audrey pulled her daughters in. "Oh…girls, I've missed you."
"Hi mum." They both said in unison as Audrey made her way toward the lift. "Are you feeling ok honey?" he asked. "I thought you were still unwell."
"No, no. I'm fine." She said happily and her mother's voice cracked slightly before adding. "Really, I just want to go home."
Lucy knew her mother was lying when her voice cracked. It was that one thing she always noticed.
"But honey, how did you even know we were coming?" Percy asked, as the double doors closed.
"Tristan told me this morning." She whispered taking his hand. "Told me you were coming."
"Did he?"
"Yes, he did. Who else?" Audrey asked.
"Just wondering." Percy replied as the girls gave him awkward looks.
"I'm better though, really." Audrey said, and her voice cracked again.
"Perce." Audrey yelled from her room as Lucy looked up to the second floor from the living room.
"Yes honey?" Percy asked from the kitchen as Molly joined her sister.
"Why on earth would someone give us these?" Audrey asked, coming down the stairs, holding a bouquet of black roses. Looking at her daughters who were on the couch she asked, "Darlings who brought this over?"
"Oh well…" Molly started looking at her sister for help. "It was…"
"Um…" Lucy continued, "It was…"
"Tristan?" Audrey suggested, smelling the burnt roses.
"Sure…" the two said awkwardly.
"Percy honey, why the hell would you let Tristan put these in the house?" Audrey yelled, walking into the kitchen. "I mean really? They smell horrible."
"Nice lie Lucy." Molly whispered as they heard yells from the kitchen.
"I don't care! I mean really Perce, why would you let him give you this?"
"I-I mean really honey. It was a gift."
"But Perce, have some sense, burnt roses? Really?"
"W-well the, it was just for a while."
"A while? The house would smell horrible! Seriously Percy,"
"Audrey, honey, it was just a mistake. I mean, I wouldn't keep them, really."
"Oh, sure Percy, fine, be like that."
Molly and Lucy watched as their father exited the kitchen and sat in between them on the couch.
"Your mother…" he sighed, "Is having a mood swing."
"How come you didn't tell her?" Molly asked, "About the roses?"
"Yeah, I thought you never lie." Lucy added.
"Well girls it was a small lie." Percy said.
"But why didn't you tell her?"Lucy asked again.
"Girls, your mother has been through too much." Percy explained. "We don't have to let her know."
"But-,"
"Girls…." Percy warned as Audrey yelled furiously.
"What the hell did you do to my bloody kitchen?"
"Oh god, not again." Percy sighed, swearing softly.
"Tell her the dogs did it." Molly suggested.
"Or Sonny." Lucy added and Percy looked between the two.
"You girls inherited this thing from your mother." He sighed, walking toward the kitchen.
"Inherited what?" Lucy asked.
"Lying."
"Lucy!" Pricilla screamed as she crashed into her friend at Kings Cross.
"Cilla…get off me…" Lucy muttered.
"What happened to you? You were just…gone…poof!" Cilla cried out, smacking her friend's arm.
"Bloody Hell!" Lucy yelled, grasping her arm. "You serious Cilla."
"I'm sorry, but really. Do you think you could just disappear without telling me or Scorpius?"
"Hey, it's not my fault." Lucy said defending herself. "My mum was sick!"
"Oh...right, how is she doing?"
Looking behind Lucy, the two saw how Audrey was supporting herself on Percy. Ever since the attack, the family hasn't heard from Tristan and the roses stopped once Audrey came home. Lucy saw the extreme change in her mother when she came back, her hair less…blonde and she had many mood swings. It was as if part of her mother died that day, Lucy didn't dare say it though. She was in disbelief, because she always looked up to her mother, now…she was just a mess.
"She's well…best ever." Lucy said convincingly.
"That's great to hear." Pricilla said and steered her friend the opposite direction. "I haven't seen you in ages."
"I know Cilla." Lucy sighed, avoiding several eyes from her aunts and uncles as she passed by.
"Scorpius missed you." She said excitedly.
"Oh did he?" Lucy asked as Sonny followed the two from behind.
"Very much." Pricilla said, nudging her.
"Very funny Cilla." Lucy said sarcastically.
"No…really." She said, "He missed you, a lot."
"And how do you know that?"
"Lucy, you know that Scorpius's parents and my parents are best friends. I see him a lot and he tells me everything."
"But I mean really, Pricilla-,"
"No, Lucy trust me. I know what I'm saying."
"You're impossible." Lucy sighed, as the two walked onto the train.
