Lucy Snape and the Half-Blood Princess (Book Six)

Blind Theories

Chapter 13: Blind Theories

"Slow down there, you're talking too fast. I hate it when you talk too fast, especially when you're stressed," Shona held up a hand as Lucy began talking all at once about many different things as they sat in the Main courtyard with Dean. Lucy was telling Shona all about her vision with Zuc, the Half-Blood Princess' book and Matthew Jarvin. 

"OK, I'm sorry. Let me break it down for you," Lucy smiled. "Zuc's army is getting stronger, the Half-Blood Princess' book is scaring and me and Matt Jarvin is suddenly stalking me? What is going on!" 

"Look, I've already told you about the Half-Blood Princess' book. It's trivia and it doesn't matter, it's just a stupid book with a stupid name inside. Get over it!" (Lucy frowned). "As for your vision, don't worry about it. Zuc just wants to bother you that bit longer being the sod that he is. He'll do anything to make you un-happy. Hell, he'll even give you headaches when he doesn't want to force a vision into your head." 

"But what about Matt?" 

"Can I suggest something?" Dean asked, he had been very quiet since Lucy had brought up the subject of Matt Jarvin. "Didn't I say the other day about him missing when all of his friends bothered you? They were obviously bothering you because he loved you but didn't want to be with his friends. I think when I boy loves you he'll make fun of you." 

"That's what my old muggle primary school teacher used to say," Shona smiled and Dean's face lit up as he had support in his theory. "But they didn't fancy me, they just liked to bully me," and with that, Dean's face fell. 

Suddenly, Lucy spotted Harry walking into the main courtyard with Ron and Hermione. They were having some sort of argument but Lucy had been dying to ask Harry about the Half-Blood Prince's and Princess' books. She stood up and strode towards Harry, surely he had an answer for this. 

"Harry, for the last time you need to hand that book back!" Hermione protested as she went to grab the book but Harry held it up in the air for safety. He was obviously as protective with his book as Lucy was hers. 

"Come on, mate, you sit up all night reading that! It's got to back," Ron frowned, making a grab for the book but Harry moved swiftly so Ron was unable to grab it. 

"Harry!" Lucy called as she strode towards him. 

"Oh! Lucy! Finally!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Harry. "Maybe your half-sister can talk some sense into — " 

"I have the Half-Blood Princess' book! It has to have something to do with the Half-Blood Prince's book!" 

"Or not..." Ron chuckled, Hermione elbowed him in the ribs. 

"You what?" Harry asked. "A-Are you — ?" 

Lucy pulled out the Half-Blood Princess' book, turned to the first page and pointed to it and showed Harry that she wasn't lying. Harry's eyes widened in shock, he took the book from her to make sure he wasn't dreaming. After a while he handed the book slowly back to her and then tried to regain the power of speech. 

"They have to be connected," Lucy announced after a while as it appeared Harry was in too much shock to speak. "But I don't know how." 

"Maybe these two were brother and sister?" Harry suggested all of a sudden. "Or they might have even been a couple." 

"Or this could just be a stupid scenario you're both making up in your heads!" Shona snapped as she approached them. "Seriously, Lucy, give it a rest and lets worry about more important things!" Shona dragged Lucy away from Harry, Ron and Hermione. "Sorry for wasting your time, guys, she won't bother you again, she's just not right in the head that's all!"
