This one will be a bit different. It will be from Ted Lupin, Lucy's Dad, point of view, because it would be hard to the parent teacher meeting from Lucy's point of view given the fact she is not there. Also it's a very short chapter.

Ted walked up the stairs to Lucy room. He entered to see her staring at her laptop.

'Lucy I am going to the parent teacher now I hope to hear you have been causing chaos and destruction. If you haven't made at least twenty people cry I will be very disappointed in you.' Ted joked as she looked up.

'Have a nice night.' Lucy said distantly. She's being weird.

'What's wrong?' Ted said.

'What do you mean? Nothing is wrong.' Lucy lied. Did she just lie to me?

'Well, usually you say "Well Dad I would never do that. At least that's what the teachers I made cry will say."' Ted imitated.

'I don't sound like that. And I'm sorry just worried.'

'Are you going to visit Jackson?' Ted asked. She is probably just worried about Jackson.

'No, he wants to be alone but I might visit Lydia. She was a wreck yesterday.' Lucy said.

Ted made his way out of the car park and walked over to David and Alice. 'Fancy seeing you here.'

'Ted, you expecting good news?' David asked after Ted gave them both hugs.

'With Lucy! Ha I'm just hoping she hasn't made too many people cry.' Ted said with a laugh causing them to laugh. Not really joking. 'What about you?'

'You know Jackson. I'll have an evening of "why is your son so intense?"' David joked causing Alice to hit him on the arm.

'How is Lucy doing we barely see her around anymore?' Alice inquired. How do you nicely say Lucy hates both of you and wants to avoid you as much as possible?

'She's been busy, Homework and that. I better be off I've got the Coach which you know I'm not looking forward to.'

'Why would we know that?' Alice asked.

'Yeah Ted do you think we are mind readers?' David joked.

'No just thought Jackson would have told you or Lucy. She yelled at him at practise.' Ted told them.

'Why?' Alice asked.

'When Jackson got injured.' Ted said.

'Well like father like daughter right.' David said 'I mean you are a hufflepuff right?'

'That she tells you!'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

'So your daughter is Lucy Lupin right?' the Coach said looking at the sheet covered desk.

'Yeah.' Ted said nodding. Here we go.

'So Lucy is-'

'Before you start don't sugar coat anything.' Ted said and the Coach nodded.

'Well then your daughter is lazy, has zero respect, can never get off her phone, has taken to calling me "muggle" when she annoyed and has no interest in tests.' The Coach listed off.

'Okay I'll need more description than that.' Ted said.

'In her last test she got a trick question right - the only one in the class too.' The Coach told

him.

'But that's good.' Ted said confused.

'Yes that is, but the rest of the test is not.'

'Oh what did she do?' Ted groaned.

'In the last few questions - easy ones at that - she didn't even try.' The Coach said.

'Do you know why?'

'She just seemed to have gotten bored.'

'Let me guess she wrote a quote of some kind.' Ted said with a groan. I know where this is going!

'Yes, as well as a few drawings. When she comes in she spends most of the time on her phone or talking to her friends. All of the qestions she answered were great. She is bright. Also she is extremely lazy.'

'Yep, sounds like Lucy.' Ted agreed. 'She hasn't been that interested in anything since her ice-skating days. She went from an A+ student to a C average student. She had loads of friends, used to go running every evening and she could count the people she didn't like on one hand. Now she can count her friends on one hand, she doesn't trust anyone even her friends- especially her friends, she spends her evening watching Netflix, she picks up hobbies and drops them after 5 seconds and now this girl who was one of the only people she didn't like is one of her closest friends.'

'Did she hate this girl?'

'No, she didn't hate anyone. Now she only likes the people she knows their faults, or as she puts it "the ones she understands"! She did make one new friend Raven, I think it's because Lucy is bored and Raven's a puzzle to her.'

'Huh I guess that's why she only really hangs out with Jackson and Danny. What does she have on Danny?'

'So, Is that it?' Ted asked changing the subject.

'No, I had more mmm...' the coach said scratching his head trying to remember where he was going with it. 'She is also free-spirited, stubborn, loyal, short-tempered, untrusting and clever. Yeah I think that's it.'

'Great I'll be going.' Ted said getting of his chair.

Ted opened the door only to see the Sheriff waiting outside. Ted quickly put his head down and try to walk away without being noticed.

'Ted Lupin!' the Sheriff called. Shit shit shit!

'Sheriff!' Ted said lifting his head to look at him. Of course.

'I didn't know your daughter was in this class.' The Sheriff said. Why should you?

'Yeah she is. I didn't think you would, considering she isn't any of your business.'

'Well if she is anything like her father she soon will be my business.' Low Blow.

'She is her own person.' Ted defended. 'Now if we are finished here I have other teachers to meet.'

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Ted and David were walking out of the school and down the stairs. 'Like old times.' David commented.

'Back then we didn't get on.' Ted said with a smile.

'We did just not always.' David argued back. 'Not like Lucy and Jackson.'

'Those two are as close as twins sometime.' Ted joked. 'Where is Alice?'

'She had to take a phone call.' David told him Ted nodded. 'You don't happen to know what's bothering Jackson.'

'Why?'

'Something is clearly bothering him and he won't say what?'

'And you think I know?'

'He spends more time at your house than he does at his own home. If he didn't tell you he must have told Lucy and she tells you everything unlike Jackson - so you have to know.' David said clearly frustrated.

'Look all Lucy said was that he and this guy in his class are getting a bit competitive. You know what Jackson is like.' Ted appeased.

'Yeah its so annoying when your children don't tell you anything?' David was cut of why a scream.

'Aaaaaaaaaah!' David ran down the stairs to where his car was parked yelling 'Alice!'

Ted ran after him, trying to stay close to him, while everyone was rushing about trying to get to their cars. Ted stopped when he spotted a dark animal figure passing between cars. Mountain lion.

Ted quickly ran to David's car to see him getting into his car with Alice. Ted stopped running when he saw the Sheriff being hit by a car. He ran over to him and put his hand on his arm. 'You okay?'

'I'm okay.' The sheriff said, not getting off the floor and reach for his ankle gun. A gun shot when off.

Ted looked up to see Chris holding a gun completely steady pointing at the now dead mountain lion. Ted stayed beside the Sheriff. He looked at the women beside him and said 'Call the sheriff's station. Tell them the sheriff been hurt.'

She nodded and took out her phone. 'Is anyone a doctor?' Ted called out.

'Hey I'm fine.' The Sheriff told him.

'No moving, it could make your injuries worse.' Ted instructed keeping him from getting up.

'I'm a nurse.' A curly haired women kneeled down beside him. 'Hey there.'

'Hey Melissa.' The sheriff said with a smile as she checked him over.

'We are going to need to get him to a hospital.' Melissa said.

'The police should be here with an ambulance.' Ted told her.

Ted walked into his house. I need a drink. He walked into the kitchen to see a bottle of Jack untouched with a note on it and a glass on the table top.

Ted picked up the note.

Dad

I'm sorry for whatever I have been accused of. None of which is true and this is not an admission of guilt just a loving gift from your daughter.

Don't go driving anywhere if you drink this or this bottle will be smashed over your head. Understand? Good.

Lucy

P.S. Don't ask where I got this - you won't like the answer.

Ted gave a chuckle and walked up stairs to find Lucy and tell her what happened at the parents teacher meetings.

He found her passed out on her bed with her laptop beside her. He walked over and took her laptop off the bed, then pulled her boots of her feet and pulled the covers over her.

He went to leave her room when he spotted the page she had opened on her laptop. Werewolves! She is looking at a page about werewolves- she needs to get out more.

Ted walked back down stairs and poured himself a drink.
