Connect the Weasley's challenge: Louis/Lucy - insanity
Scrabble Challenge: Boredom
Summer Boredom
They were bored. And as anyone would know, two bored teens in the middle of summer holidays are never a good thing. Especially when said teens were cousins. Double especially when said cousins were Weasleys – anyone could tell you that the Weasley-Potter cousins were closer than what seemed possible, and prone to just a little insanity. Ok, maybe a lot of insanity.
Percy had taken one look at his daughter that morning and told her to go visit her cousins – one look was all it took to see that look of building boredom and insanity in her eyes, and he didn't want to be around to witness the results. As luck would have it, Lucy and turned up to Shell Cottage to find Louis in a similar state. Now, the only question was how to harness said insanity to get rid of said boredom. Pranks were pretty much out of the question – they were preparing for Dom's wedding in a few weeks, and Fleur was just a little highly strung. It amused Lucy a bit, that the mother of the Bride was a lot more stressed by the whole affair than the actual Bride was.
They spent almost an hour trying to come up with something to do, which only served to further both the boredom and the insanity. Louis briefly suggested climbing trees, but they soon realised that at 19 and 17 they were a bit too big for the few trees around, much to their disappointment. They had swum for a bit, before the wind picked up and made the water suddenly too cold. Which is how they came to be where they were now – chasing each other down the beach, squealing and laughing and pelting each other with sand. It was a bit like a scene from a romantic comedy Lucy mused, what with Louis grabbing her around the waist and sipping her, or running down the beach with her on his back, arms outstretched and hair flying behind her. Not that either of them cared – they were too insane for that.
As they lay side-by-side on the soft sand, laughing hysterically over nothing as they watched the sun set, they both thought about how lucky they were, how lucky they all were. To have people like their cousins who they could go insane with, people to fight boredom with. And even though they knew their parents would roll their eyes at them, and tomorrow they would probably have the same problem, tonight it didn't matter. Yes, they lived in insanity, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
A/N. Thanks again to everyone who has been reading/following/favouriting/reviewing this story, it means a lot. As always let me know what you think. NG.
KicksAndGiggles: I hope you like this chapter, I wrote it with you in mind :) Also to answer your question from last chapter, the Fred referred to is Fred II. All chapters in this story take place after the Battle of Hogwarts, and will stick to what little information J. K. Rowling has provided us with about Net-Gen. This includes the fact that Fred I is dead. Amelia is an OC of mine who is a Muggle, and is the wife of Fred II. Hope that clears that up.
