Pairing: LucyLorcan
Prompt: Falling stars
Requested by: MissingMommy
She remembers her mother always singing around the house when she was little. They were always muggle songs, and most made no sense, but they were still wonderful to listen to. One in particular, however, would always stick in her mind. Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away, she remembers, was her favorite line in the song. Highly improbable as it was ("Having a falling star would burn a hole in your pocket," she once told her mother. Audrey just smiled and told Lucy she was too much like her father sometimes.) she still loved the phrase.
The line pops into her head often when she is in her sixth year of Hogwarts. That is the year that Lorcan became that falling star.
Lorcan was always the twin who was the most influenced by his mother's talks about nargles and crumple-horned snorkacks, while Lysander was more grounded. He was always in his own little world with a dreamy smile on his face as he drifted above the clouds. Lucy had always thought that Lorcan should, so to speak, come down to Earth. Didn't he see that those theories of his were utterly insane? She thrived on order and logic and realistic ideas. Lorcan, however, did not share her views and this puzzled her. Although ashamed to admit it now, she had always pitied Lorcan for thinking the way he did.
In sixth year, everything became reversed. Luna, Lorcan's mother, disappeared with no explanation, and Lorcan began his decent to rational thoughts and grounded theories. Lucy hated it. The more he fell, the more she wanted to shove him back up above the clouds and among the stars like before. She found that she missed his crazy ideas and dreamy observations. Lorcan had become a falling star and all she wanted was to make sure he never faded away. Thus, Lucy learned that a falling star would not, in fact, burn a hole in her pocket.
