Crucio The Quidditch Part 20

It took hours before Luzia heard any students enter the common room and when she did she hated herself. It was her sister, Penelope. She was alone.

"Oh hi." She said to Luzia.

"Don't you dare say hi to me." Luzia said without looking at her.

"Why?"

"Don't act dumb, you know what Liberty did."

Penelope looked puzzled. "No I don't."

Luzia sat up and faced her sister. Penelope was dresses in house colours.

"Your stupid mates started shouting at me, calling me a liar. So much so, I ended up hitting Liberty in the face."

"What? When?"

"A couple hours ago, at the end of lunch time. Where are you going dressed like that anyway?"

"Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor Quidditch game. Benji's friend, Matty is the captain-"

Luzia cut her off. "And you're going with Michelle and Sophie to yell homophobic words at him?"

"No, I'd never do that-"

"Yes, you would Penelope." Luzia sat up and moved to the edge of her bed. "You have stood back and allowed your stupid friends to bully me many times since I've been here, and I'm sick of it."

"I never joined in-"

"Maybe not, but you never stepped in and told them to stop it, some sister you are."

Penelope said nothing.

"Just wait till I tell mum how much of a B*tch you are."

"You wouldn't dare, Luzia."

"I would, but it wouldn't matter even if I did. Mum would never take my side over yours, you're obviously the favourite."

"Of course I'm the favourite, I'm the child that is actually normal, popular and smart. What are you and Benji? Benji only cares about sport and his weird mates and you only care about stupid music and art. WAKE UP LUZIA, ART AND MUSIC ISN'T GOING TO GET YOU THROUGH LIFE, THERE IS NO CAREER IN IT."

Just then, Professor McGongall came into the room and pushed past Penelope who was stood near the doorway.

"You two need to get to the Quidditch game." She told them. "I need to speak to Luzia alone though first, please leave Penelope."

"Yes Professor." Penelope said then left.

Professor McGonagall sat on the edge of Penelope's bed opposite Luzia who was sat on the edge of her bed.

"Professor Villarreal told me there was an issue that took place outside his classroom at the end of lunch time."

"Yes."

"Involving you and Liberty Porter?"

"Yes there were others there too but I'm not sure who they were."

"Right, and you wish to leave school?"

Professor McGonagall wasn't like Professor Villarreal, she wasn't very nice to Luzia and her siblings, she hated that they were in her school.

"Yes."

"I've sent a letter to your mother and asked her to come in and speak with you-."

"Here?"

"Yes, hopefully she can come in the next couple of days, is she a busy lady?"

"No, she lives alone pretty much."
