Labyrinth

empty words

Empty words; a ribbon of false hope absorbed by the most naïve of people. Three abstruse syllables that annihilated a certain girl internally and left evidence of acrimony in her scarred little mind.

For eleven years, Lucia's life had been sheltered away from carte blanche. The young brunette abided by the unnecessary rules that were set on the table for her. Her mother's malignant words stuck to her like glue. "Everything that was done for her was for her safety." Lucia Fallon Granger's role model was her twin sister, Hermione. She wanted to be just like her because she was loved, she was nurtured, and overall she had multiple reliable sources to count on when she was in need of anything. Whether that be her parents or her friends; she was able to revel in a sense of pride and contagious laughter whenever she was in need of extra attention.

Lucia had never been taught how beneficial she was to the world. She was afraid of her very own voice because nobody told her it was okay to use it. Hermione used circumlocution to get her point across, and Lucia一well Lucia didn't. She learned to live with her mouth closed. Lucia tried to stand up, but it felt like her legs were tied down to the pits of Hell.

She was becoming deleterious to not only herself, but towards her family, as well. Her idiosyncratic home-life was never really questioned by anyone because nobody ever came over. Hermione was gone for basically the whole year at Hogwarts, while Lucia spent her days trying not to rip out her hair in public school.

Lucia, in fact, did receive a Hogwarts letter when her sister did and multiple after that, but the Granger's did a phenomenal job hiding the real and magical world away from their youngest twin daughter.

That was until the seventh, and last, year of the Hogwarts experience.

~+++~

Lucia felt as though she was going to die as soon as she got off of the train. After sitting alone in a crammed compartment, Lucia thought that her day couldn't get any worse.

Well, Lucia thought wrong.

Hagrid redirected the girl towards the boats, for she had to go through her sorting ceremony. Lucia was called peevish names along the way to a boat. This boat specifically had three other boys that were giving her side glances. They were definitely not osculators.

"Make sure yer all fastened in 'n yer not rockin' the boat," Hagrid announced proudly.

'Rocking the boat?' Lucia thought. 'This is ridiculous, when I can literally fly.' Suddenly, Lucia levitated off of her seat and started flying full speed across the lake. People admired her like they admired Nicki Minaj.

Lucia did multiple flips in the air before accidentally plummeting into the water. A small plop reverberated across the lake, but then, out of the blue, a humongous splash bursted into the air, and took down all the students with it.

They all drowned and died.

She majestically flew up, hair soaked and all, and flew into the castle doors, before falling starfish style on the tile floor outside of the Great Hall.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FUDGE POOP SANDWICH! THIS STOOP DONKEY FLOOR. "

She then pushed open the doors to the Great Hall. She caught all the wandering eyes and dropped down into the splits, arms raised, going the extra mile. She plastered a big smile onto her beaver-like features, before getting up and looking straight ahead.

Her heart stopped at the sight of Dumbledore. His long grey locks, his shiny blue orbs, and his half-moon glasses made her foam at the mouth.

She bloated up to him and planted a huge, slobbery smooch on his nonexistent lips, before levitatiNG and flying away at full speed, slamming her head on the doors to the Great Hall.

Lucia kept on flying, but lost balance, and tripped over the air, falling right into the lake.

All of the sudden, a big octopusSYYYYYEEEEE wrapped one of its tentacles around her hair and shook her around like a crazy person.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HERMIONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'M GONNA POOP MYSELF."

The octopussy ate Lucia, and chomped on her. He saw Hermione running and rolling on the floor. "STOP IT. STOP IT."

He grabbed Hermione by the hair as well, and flung her into New Zealand.

Then everyone else died because they looked in the mirror.

It was tragic.
