Lockwood's POV


"What?" I asked, wide eyed.


I haven't come down for breakfast on purpose, afraid of Lucy's reaction to last night.


It was too much to hope for to say she wouldn't remember.


Still, I was hoping.


So I told George to tell her I was out instead, when I was actually in my room, if she asked.


And now he comes telling me that she's out.


I have no problem with that.


The problem is, she's OUT TO SEE SCORPIUS.


I have a problem with that.


Scorpius. How does he manage to make her remember him?


Jealous? No. Never.


"Why did you let her go?'' I asked anxiously, pacing around the kitchen.


George was leaning on the kitchen counter.


"You know, she kinda changed," he noted.


"Kinda? She got amnesia. Amnesia, mate. Does that ring a bell on you?" I asked.


He rolled his eyes. "Cheekiness will get you nowhere, Lockwood,"


"Whatever,"


"I'm saying, she changed."


"What do you mean?"


"She's not so sarcastic and bitchy anymore, she's more.. reserved, I guess? More polite, and you know. Amnesia changed Lucy Carlyle." George rambled on.


"Don't remind me," I snarled.


"Hey, let her live her life. If she wants to see her mate Scorpius, let her see him. You do want to see her happy right?"


He's got a point. Sadly.


"I do, but he would take advantage of her! Of her memories," I said, frustrated.


"Uh, mate, that's kind of the exact same thing you're doing." He said.


I only scowled at him.


"George." I said in a low voice. "I'm not taking advantage of her,"


"You kissed her last night, didn't you?"


"How did you know?" I asked.


"I can see." He said smugly.


"Listen, if Katarah had amnesia and she didn't remember you, wouldn't you be acting the same as I am?"


His face turned more apologetic.


"I get it, Lockwood. Sorry, mate. I know how you're feeling, but don't let it affect you. If she truly loved you, she'd come back to you. I know it,"


I didn't know what to say. So I kept silent.


"Want some breakfast?" George asked me.
