Lucy Rose

Chapter 21

"That's Harry Potter. Bloody hell, that is actually the Harry Potter. The Golden Boy is standing in front of me."

"Holy Shit, Eric. Can you be more embarrassing?" Rory's face was burning red and she swatted at his arm.

"Aurora! It's Harry Potter!" Eric squeaked.

"I can see that!" Rory said back.

Harry had an amused smile on his face, "it's nice to meet you guys, Lucy speaks very highly of you both."

Rory and Eric seemed frozen in place, staring at him with their mouths opened.

"Honestly, you two," Lucy giggled, "this is pathetic. Harry's staying here for a couple weeks, you've ought to get used to him."

"You're staying here?" Eric asked him.

Harry nodded.

"With who?" Rory asked.

"Me of course," Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Oh." Rory's face turned even redder, "right."

"How'd you meet Lucy?" Eric asked.

"Oh," Harry said, "I met Lu, what, your fourth year?"

Lucy nodded, "almost three years ago now."

"And I met Charlie the year before," Harry said, "I'm best mates with his youngest brother."

"And dating his only sister," Lucy added with a cheeky smile.

Harry blushed, "yeah, that too."

"Is that the one we met?" Rory asked, "what was her name again...Ginny?"

Harry nodded, "yeah, Ginny."

"She's also my best friend," Lucy added, "it's all twisted but it works."

"It does, doesn't it," Harry laughed, swinging an arm around Lucy's shoulder. "We've got the best family."

"Oh!" Rory said suddenly, "Lucy, is Sawyer coming to visit too?"

Harry tensed, "please don't remind me."

"What?" Eric frowned, "do you not like him?"

"Harry likes him just fine," Lucy said, swatting his arm, "don't you, Harry?"

"I did until he decided to marry my baby sister." Harry pouted.

"Oh, shove off, will you?" Lucy groaned.

"I'm sorry, sister?" Eric stammered, looking between them.

"Sister!" Rory shrieked. 

"Hold on," Eric shook his head, "is that in a we're so close she's like my sister way, or a blood related, same parents, we share dna, way?"

"They don't know?" Harry accused.

"No they don't know," Lucy said, "isn't that apparent?"

"Why don't they know!" Harry asked.

"We were in the middle of a war!" Lucy defended, "if you don't remember, the two of us were basically on a worldwide hit list."

"What's going on!" Rory demanded.

"This is my idiot brother," Lucy rolled her eyes, patting Harry's cheek. "Completely blood related."

"No. Way." Eric gaped. "Lucy you're a Potter?"

Lucy nodded, "I am."

"That—" Rory stammered, "that makes so much more sense!"

Lucy paused, staring at her, "pardon?"
