Because Louis and Lucy are two of the nextgen characters that I find hardest to write. Plus, they are the same age in my notes...
Since they were children, they'd been Lou and Luce, always together.
Lucy's relationship with Lorcan changed things.
Once upon a time, 1st-year-Lorcan had been obnoxious to prefect-Louis. They had hated each other since.
Lucy and Lorcan started dating more than 10 years later.
After a dragon-training accident, Louis ended up in the hospital and Lucy went to visit him.
"Where's your boyfriend?"
"You're 30 years old. Why are you acting like a child?"
"I don't like him."
"Have you even tried?" Lucy cried.
Louis looked guilty. "I guess not."
Two long months later, they were once again Lou and Luce.
I kind of like this one. I don't know. It's not my favorite, but it's a little less completely-fluffy than some of the others I've been posting the past couple weeks.
Oh, and just to make this clear, everybody on fanfiction makes Lorcan and Lysander the same age as the Weasley grandchildren. But I'm 90% sure that at some point I read something where JKR said that Luna and Rolf took a lot more time to settle down than the others. So I have Lorcan and Lysander written in as being around six years younger than Louis, Lucy, and Lily, who are my youngest Weasley kids. (Gosh, that's a lot of L-names.)
Also, I've been trying to post this chapter for like two days now and it hasn't worked until now. So the lateness of this chapter isn't entirely my fault. Like I said, I've been really busy/tired/discouraged lately. But all of your requests will be posted at some point!
Once again, thank you ALL for reading.

PS - for those of you whose stories I'm reading... if you want me to update, why don't you try updating yourselves? (Really, I've gotten like three alerts all week -_-)
