The talk
Lucy double checked that none of the teachers or Filch wasn't near her and when she saw that none were she quickly sneaked into the Headmasters office corridor.
''Password?'' The gargoyle asked.
''Umm, lemon drop, no. Chocolate frog, no not that one either,'' Lucy kept guessing as she knew Dumbledore's passwords were always related to sweets he liked.
''Jelly beans?'' Lucy finally after many guesses asked and the gargoyle finally moved. She walked in and opened the office door without even knocking. She saw how Dumbledore was still up and was petting his pet phoenix Fawkes and still hot cup of Hot Choco was on his table.
''I was wondering when you were coming,'' Dumbledore said as he turned around to face Lucy.
''Then you must know why I'm here,'' Lucy stated.
''Yes. And sadly I must deny your request. Harry cannot know of your existence yet,'' Dumbledore said.
''Why not? He's here. He's safe,'' Lucy said desperately.
''Yes, he is here, but safe he unfortunately is not,'' Dumbledore explained as he went to look out of the window, ''There are still dark forces out there who would love to hurt Harry in any way possible. And I cannot promise that I can keep them away from the school. Though I do try to do my best and that usually is quite enough.
Harry has accepted the death of his parents and has learned to live with that knowledge and to learn that he still has a big sister who truly loves him more than anything would make him happy beyond comprehension but to lose her as soon as he finds out would hurt him beyond repair.
I am only trying to protect both him…and you,'' Dumbledore said as he turned around and looked her with a sad eye.
''I know, but to see him so close and yet…it still feels like he's miles away and whatever I do I cannot reach him. It hurts,'' Lucy said as couple tears ran down her face.
''Do not despair, my dear, for this is not the end. Harry will find out your existence soon enough. You will be family once more. That I promise.
But for now try to be his friend and look after him from afar. He does not know you yet and to tell him that you are his sister he might not believe it, but if he knows you and knows how much you truly love him, he would believe you and he would return that love.
Do you understand Lucy? Harry must not know about this yet,'' Dumbledore said seriously.
''Yes sir,'' Lucy whispered.
''Now why don't you too go to bed. It has been a tiring day and the school hasn't even started yet. My my, I must get old to feel this tired already,'' Dumbledore chuckled making Lucy smile a little. No matter what Dumbledore said he always made Lucy smile after words.
Lucy left the office and after making sure Filch wasn't anywhere near she skipped to the Gryffindor common room without being noticed and straight to bed. As she closed her eyes she would dream how one day she could tell Harry who she truly was to him and how much she still loves him.
