Finally the last student was sorted and after a few words from Dumbledore,
the feast started. They all ate to their heart content. Towards the end of
the meal the topic of conversation switched over the families.
"I'm half and half.me dad's a muggle and me mum a witch. It was quite a nasty shock for him when he found out."
"What about you Lucy? You come from a wizarding family right?"
"Well, Yeah.my parents were a witch and a wizard."
"And? Who were they maybe my parents went to school with them.what years were they in?"
"Well they were.ummm" Lucy looked down at her plate. Hermonie looked over at her and saw what a touchy topic this was for her.
"Hey class are you all looking forward to?"
It had worked! They stared talking about classes. Lucy looked up at Hermonie.
"Thank You!" she just smiled and joined in the conversation.
The meal ended. And after a few last announcements from Dumbledore.they were all dismissed to their dormitories.
"First years follow me!" Lucy recognized the speaker as Ron's older brother. He had mentioned him on the train. She started to follow the other Gryffindor first years, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall who pulled her away from the crowd.
"Miss Lupin, the headmaster would like a word with you. Follow me and I will take you to your dormitory when you are finished."
She followed her to a large stone gargoyle.
"Chocolate Frogs" The gargoyle jumped back to reveal a circular staircase of stone steps
"Go on! I'll be waiting here." Lucy ascended the steps up to the top where she found a large stone door; she knocked.
"Come in!" she pushed the door opened and found her grandfather standing next to a fireplace.in the fireplace she saw a face, but not just any face it was.
"DAD?!?!"
"Hey sweetie! We both wanted to congratulate you on getting in to the Gryffindor house!"
"Yes, congratulations Lucy." He gave her his biggest smile.
"You mother and I were both in that house..so you've got a lot of living up to do! Just please don't do anything that I did in school!" He winked at her and she laughed.
"Well it has been a long day for her Remus. We'd better let her get some sleep."
"Yeah I guess you're right Albus."
"Goodnight, Sweetie! And have a great year! I'll see you around Christmas! And remember, I love you!"
"I love you to! Bye Daddy!" His face disappeared from the fire and Dumbledore turned towards her and did something out of character for him: He hugged her.
"Goodnight, Luce!"
"Goodnight, Grandpa. I love you!" He released her and opened the door. She started descending the stairs.
"Ohh and Lucy." She turned back towards him. "Do try and stay out of trouble?"
"I will.don't you worry!" then she met Professor McGonagall at the bottom of the stairs and followed her up to the Gryffindor tower.
"I'm half and half.me dad's a muggle and me mum a witch. It was quite a nasty shock for him when he found out."
