Lucy Weasley – 2018
Lucy Weasley was very different to her 15 year old sister Molly. She was therefore very different to her father as well. And both of them were in Gryffindor. This however did not worry Lucy Weasley because her little 11 year old self was absolutely sure that she was going to end up in Gryffindor.
Lucy would much rather be found with her cousin and best friend Roxanne in the garden looking for the gnomes, or with Louis and Fred and James helping them with their greatest scheme. Yes it could be said that Lucy had a sense of adventure and was a little trouble maker just like her older cousins. She idolised them. And that's why Lucy Weasley was absolutely convinced that she was a Gryffindor.
As all the first years were lined up against the far wall waiting for their name to be called she stood up on her tiptoes and craned her neck looking towards the Gryffindor table. She spotted Molly, engrossed in a book as always. Lucy tried in vain to catch her attention but it was no use. Lucy gritted her teeth seething with anger. This was possibly the most important moment in all of her 11 years and her sister didn't even have the decency to tear her nose out of the book. She then looked up the table to see Rose and Albus sniggering at something. She followed their line of vision to see Scorpius Malfoy mouthing something causing her cousins to burst into another hysterical round of silent laughter. They then caught her staring and beamed true smiles, more than she ever got out of her sister. Rose mouthed 'Good Luck' whilst Albus gave her a quick thumbs up. Her gaze then wandered onto a group of gossiping girls containing the strawberry blond head of Dominique who patted a seat next to her when she looked up to see Lucy. All of a sudden a slip of parchment appeared at Lucy's feet. Bending down to pick it up she saw a hastily scrawled not reading Good Luck Luce, we'll save a seat for you and we can get down to planning your first prank of the term! Love James, Louis and Fred x Lucy beamed and glanced up to see the trio holding a banner reading Good Luck Roxanne and Lucy! She giggled and turned her attention to the sorting. Claire Vallings had just become a Ravenclaw, meaning it was just about her turn to be sorted. And sure enough her name was called.
'Weasley, Lucy'
As Lucy wandered up to the stool she turned to have one last looked at the Gryffindor table only to see Molly watching intently. A small smile was exchanged before the hat was placed over her eyes.
Hmm very interesting…
What is?
You are probably the easiest Weasley I have ever sorted
Really?
Oh yes! You're smart but, if you'll excuse me, not quite Ravenclaw material. You're determined but do not strive for greatness like many other Slytherins. You're loyal, but I don't think you'd suit Hufflepuff. You Lucy Weasley remind me of your cousin James.
Really?
Oh yes, you're both true Gryffindors, very easy to sort as well. Right off you go to 'GRYFFINDOR!'
Lucy Weasley whipped off the hat to see her sister Molly beaming at her, with a true smile that was rarely seen. She ran straight into her arms, another rarity hearing a string of congratulations whispered in her ear. Albus and Rose both beamed at her saying they knew she could do it. Dominique managed to tear herself away from the latest scandal to praise her. Lucy then turned to her big cousin James and stated
'The hat says we're very alike you know'
'Really?'
'Yep, he said we were true Gryffindors.'
'Tell me something I don't know! Now let's get to work and plan your first ever prank in the Hogwarts Halls. Can't have you being another Uncle Percy can we, no offence!'
And so Lucy Weasley sat down with her cousins, waiting for the imminent arrival of her best friend and partner in crime Roxanne.
Please Review - they're so lovely!
