Sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter up. I went on holiday to Istanbul, Dublin and London. While in London I went on a Harry Potter tour which was amazing. I seriously had to keep pinching myself, because I couldn't believe that I was there! It's always been a dream of mine to go to London. Anyway, here is the next chapter! I hope you guys like it. And thank you to my sole reviewer, you are amazing!

Chapter 3

I couldn't believe that this was the reaction that my sister was having to me coming back. Why was she so mad at me? Didn't she want me to be here? The only reason I came back was because of the invitation I got to herwedding!

I stood frozen in shock until I felt Adelaide nudge my side a little with her elbow. It was then that I realized I could talk and ask her the questions that were running through my mind.

"What do you mean 'what am I doing here'? You invited me to your wedding!" I replied acting equally as hostile, an automatic defense mechanism to my sister's anger.

"I didn't invite you to my wedding! You ditched this family. Why would I want you at my wedding?"

"Because no matter what I'm still your sister! And I didn't ditch this family; I left to fulfill my dreams. I wanted to be happy so I decided to stick up for myself and go and do that!"

"You can keep telling yourself that, but it doesn't change the fact that we woke up one morning to find a note telling us that you were half way to America and leaving your life as a witch behind. And do I even want to know how you made your dreams come true? You probably slept with all of the music producers or their sons just to make that happen."

I saw red at this. I couldn't believe that my sister, that I cared so much about, had just referred to me as a whore! Repressing my urge to kick, push, or punch my sister, I turned on my heel and ran out the front door and continued to run until I was at the edge of my Grandparent's property where there was a big tree with a bench under it. Sitting down on the bench, I began to take deep breaths in order to control my rage.

Of course it wasn't long before I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up expecting Adelaide, but was shocked to find my mum walking towards me.

"Aren't you coming to talk to the wrong daughter? Shouldn't you be in there sympathizing with Molly about how I'm just a horrible slut who doesn't deserve to come back into this family? I mean I did ditch you guys and how dare I show up right before her wedding," I stated, wiping the tears off of my face, "I won't take it too personally if you turn around and go talk with Molly. Trust me, I get it. I've clearly made a mistake coming back here and I will be out of you hair within the hour."

"You always did have an overactive imagination," my mum replied, sitting next to me on the bench.

"What?"

"I could never think of you as a horrible slut Lucy. I also would never say that you don't deserve to be in this family. I love you and I'm always going to love you no matter what," mum answered, running her hands through my hair like Adelaide often does when she tries to comfort me.

"I left you though, I ditched this family. Clearly that is not something that is forgiven easily."

"Maybe or maybe not…I'm not going to lie and say that your father or Molly are particularly thrilled with you. It really hit them hard when you left. I can say that they still love you deep down though."

I couldn't help but lean into my mum's touch and pull her into a tight hug.

"I've missed you," I stated softly, embracing the moment.

"I've missed you more than you can even imagine," mum replied.

"I'm sorry I left…er—well that's a lie. I'm sorry we lost touch is probably a much better way to state that."

"Why didn't you tell me?" mum asked, pulling apart from the hug.

"Tell you what?"

"That you weren't happy? That you wanted to move to California so you could live out your dream? That you even had a dream of being a singer?"

"I didn't think it would be acceptable. I mean dad had this whole plan set out for me. He wanted me to go and work for the Ministry and become a part of the Wizengamot. How was I supposed to tell him that I not only didn't want to work at the Ministry, I wanted to become a singer in the Muggle world? I knew he would be disappointed. Adelaide told me that she was going to California and that she would love for me to come with her. I figured I was of legal age so why not. I hoped that with success dad's approval would come. I never counted on losing touch with the whole family."

"I'm sorry that you felt like you couldn't share your hopes and dreams with us because they differed from what we wanted. I know that it was never my intention, and your father would have gotten over it eventually. The important thing is that you are back now though."

"Well that isn't lasting long. I mean clearly Molly doesn't want me here. It is her wedding, so I don't want to ruin it. I'm going to go get Adelaide and we will head back to Uncle Harry's. I would love to catch up with you if you are free anytime before Adelaide and I leave," I stated, standing up and straightening my sundress.

"Lucy you don't have to leave. We want you here and Molly will come to regret not having you at her wedding. She really does want you here deep down; she just doesn't know how to deal with surprises."

"That's great and all, but it is ultimately Molly's decision. She made it clear that she wants me gone so I'm going to go. I promise that I will write to you guys though and I will try and get back here sometime soon. I can come when it's not Molly's big day."

"I think the two of you just need to sit down and talk this out. There is no use arguing out here over it," mum stated, standing up and offering her hand to me.

The two of us walked in silence back to the house, just enjoying each other's company. When we got back inside I saw that the rest of my extended family had now arrived. They were all chatting throughout the bottom floor of the house. I greeted several of my family members while trying to find either Molly or Adelaide, who I had yet to introduce to my mother. After a couple minutes I saw Adelaide walking down the staircase.

"Oh mum, this is Adelaide," I said grabbing Adelaide's arm and pulling her towards us.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Weasley."

"Nice to meet you too Adelaide," my mum replied while shaking her hand.

Adelaide then turned to me to ask, "Who is your male cousin with really white blonde hair?"

"What? I mean there is Louis. He kind of has more strawberry blonde hair though. Why do you ask?" I replied, thoroughly confused by her inquiry.

"Oh well I had to use the bathroom and the one of the second floor was occupied so your Uncle Bill…at least I think that was who he was…told me to go up two more floors and use the one up there. I was walking to the bathroom and saw a boy with white blonde hair sitting in one of the rooms with your cousin Rose, I believe. I was just shocked because everyone in this family pretty much has some form of red or dark brown hair." Adelaide explained.

"Um I don't think I know who you are talking about then…because Rose and Louis don't really hang out that much…" I replied, "Are you sure you weren't imagining them?"

Before Adelaide could respond, my Uncle Ron came over to us.

"Do you guys know where Rose went?"

"We were actually just talking about her," I replied, "Adelaide said she just saw her on the fourth floor. We don't know who she was with, but Adelaide claims they had white blonde hair."

"Hey I don't claim, I know!"

I just rolled my eyes at her antics and then turned to see that my Uncle had gone sprinting off up the steps. Adelaide and I just looked at each other and shrugged. It wasn't too long until we found out what was going on. About three minutes later Uncle Ron came back down with my cousin Rose and a boy with white blonde hair trailing behind him. I vaguely recognized the boy as being a Malfoy. I couldn't remember his first name though, and I had absolutely no idea as to why he would be here.

The Malfoy boy gave Rose a quick hug goodbye and then walked over to the floo and left. Uncle Ron then turned on Rose with a dark gleam in his eyes.

"When in the hell were you going to tell me that you were dating Scorpius Malfoy? And why in the hell was he here?" my Uncle raged, "I knew the second that Lucy said her friend Adelaide saw you upstairs with a blonde boy that it wasn't one of your cousins."

When my Uncle began to yell at Rose most of my family turned to leave the room so that we could give them their privacy. As we were walking out of the room Rose's reply made all of us—especially Adelaide and I—stop cold.

"Oh really Adelaide and Lucy told you did they? Well that's funny, I guess they like to tell other people's business and keep their own to themselves. Yeah, that's right they are keeping a huge secret from this family. I'm not the only one with a secret romance. Were you aware that they are both lesbians? The two of them are actually dating. I saw them kissing with my own two eyes in the hallway upstairs."

With that said Rose stormed out of the room, leaving Adelaide and I with the stares of my family. It was just dead silent for several moments. I then felt Adelaide slip her hand into mine and squeeze it tightly.

"So it's true?" I heard a voice asked that caused my head to snap up and look at the speaker.

There my father was standing about 15 feet across the room from me. He looked just as I remember him, but maybe with a couple more gray hairs. His glasses still sat high on his nose and he stood straight and tall, giving him the look of a serious and stern man. I knew deep down that wasn't the case, but to others he came off as intimidating and pompous.

"Yes…it's true," I replied, my voice wavering a little as my emotions started to get the better of me.

My father just nodded to himself, and then turned on his heel and walked swiftly out of the room. I was about to run after him, but my mother put her hand out to stop me and then followed my father out of the room herself. I was just left with the stares of the rest of my family who all just looked in pure shock. Well all except my Uncle Harry…he seemed a bit smug for some reason. It was as if he had known all along.
