"You'll be mine for the rest of our lives, Lucy" the voice hissed, making Lucy wince away as she tried to get as far away from the figure looming over her as she could.
The man above her sneered, before turning around for a moment and stepping out of her sight, returning a moment later holding Lily by the hair.
The younger Weasley's face was full of fear and everything remained silent for a moment before Lily opened her mouth and spoke.
"It's your fault. What happened to me during the summer was your fault. If you hadn't been around, I never would've been hurt at all. You deserved what you got, Lucy Weasley" Lily's mouth kept moving, but the words didn't register after that, because all Lucy could do was scream.
"Lucy! Lucy Marie Weasley, if you don't wake up this instant!" Albus yelled, shaking his cousin's shoulders roughly.
The girl had fallen asleep on the couch of the Slytherin common room, and in the middle of the night, had started screaming so loudly that she woke up nearly the entire house, who had all come racing down and tried to get her up, before Albus managed to break through the crowd.
Lucy continued to thrash, and swung out her arm, causing Albus to jump backwards before he could be hit by his cousin's fist.
"Bloody hell" he muttered, as he saw the tears running down Lucy's face.
He turned to face one of the first years, who squeaked a little at the look on Albus' face.
"Listen to me carefully. Go and get Professor Lupin. Do you understand me?" Albus asked, and the first year nodded quickly and raced off, nearly leaping out of the common room and into the corridor, racing out of sight as the entrance to the common room closed.
Albus leaned back down, grabbing Lucy's shoulders and shaking them again.
"Luce, you're starting to scare me here" he muttered nervously, but just as he did, Lucy's eyes popped open and she screamed loudly, shoving Albus backwards onto the ground and nearly leaping over the back of the couch, only to be caught by Teddy Lupin.
The professor made a small noise of surprise, but immediately recovered, wrapping his arms around Lucy and whispering comforting words into her ear until she finally calmed down, but continued to cry loudly.
Albus sat up slowly, letting out a groan and watching the scene in front of him with a worried look covering his face.
He had convinced himself that Lucy was alright.
It took this for him to realize just how wrong he was.
"Listen, I know we've all been thinking that things would be alright once we got here, but they're not, alright? She had this horrid nightmare last night and almost took my head off until Teddy came in and calmed her down" Albus said, taking a bite of his food and chewing loudly.
Lily watched him with a look of disgust on her face.
"Swallow. Then speak, Al" Scorpius advised from next to his boyfriend, laughing loudly as Albus quickly tried to get his food down and turned a bright shade of red.
"What are we going to do about Lucy?" Albus asked, raising an eyebrow and looking around at his cousins and friends.
Someone cleared their throat behind them, and Albus spun quickly in his seat to see Lucy standing behind him, looking close to tears.
"You lot are a bunch of gits, do you know that? If you're worried about me, why don't you try saying it to my face instead of talking about me behind my back? So much for you being the people I could trust here" Lucy muttered, turning on her heel and racing out of the Great Hall, making Albus curse loudly.
At the Ravenclaw table, Lorcan moved to follow his girlfriend, but Alexandra stepped in front of him and placed a hand on his chest, her eyes narrowed.
"I'll handle it, Scamander. Stay here" she ordered, before turning and running off before he could protest.
It only took Alexandra a few moments to find Lucy in the same bathroom where they had their first encounter.
"Luce?" Alexandra asked, sliding onto the floor and moving closer to Lucy slowly, reaching out her hand and grabbing Lucy's shoulder when she didn't protest.
"Why are you here?" Lucy's quiet voice broke out through the silence, and Alexandra sighed.
"I'm here because I'm your friend, and I have no idea what happened. I know your cousins and the idiot twins know, but none of the rest of us do and we're worried. You're not acting like yourself" Alexandra said, tilting her head to the side.
Lucy looked up at her and blinked slowly, tears rolling down her face.
"I can't-" Lucy started, her voice shaky.
Alexandra smiled reassuringly, and reached up, running her fingers through Lucy's hair and moving forward again.
"That's fine, Luce. Not right now. You don't have to do anything you don't want to, alright?" Alexandra asked.
Lucy remained silent for a moment, before she launched herself forward and wrapped her arms around Alexandra's neck, clinging to her tightly.
"Don't leave me alone, please" Lucy pleaded, burying her face in Alexandra's neck.
Alexandra hugged the smaller girl back, a sigh escaping her.
"I'm not going anywhere" she promised.
