I am different, I am strange - Charlie Weasley

3) Garden Gnomes ~ Lucy's P.O.V

Lucy's P.O.V

I knew I was staying at the Weasleys. I know I'm nowhere near the house, but when you think about it I am still at the Weasleys. I'm just in a secluded part of their garden. It's really dark, but I don't care, for once the sky is the same colour as my heart. Black. I was lent against a tree with my eyes closed when I heard some rustling in the grass. 

My breath got caught in my throat as fear over took my emotions. I was afraid, I thought it was Bellatrix. I made no sudden movements; I just stayed still, refusing to let my breath escape my lips. Suddenly something toppled out of the long yellowish grass and I sighed in relief. I looked at the little beast curiously as I had never seen one before. I pushed myself onto my knees and slowly crawled over to the strange little creature.

 He or she just stood still, not moving a single muscle as it stared at me. As I got closer to the creature it snapped at me and I jolted backwards, slightly startled by the little beast. I started to back away as the little guy started to walk towards me with the most evil look on his sweet little face. Suddenly my back hit something behind me and I could no longer escape the little creature. As he got closer, more and more of his specie revealed themselves from behind the tall grass. They also started to close in on me. I saw the one closest to me squeak and all of them charged at me. My eyes widened in fear as they were climbing all over me.

"OW!" I screamed in pain as one bit my ear "EEK!" I kept screaming and making funny noises one after another. I was bitten on my ears, throat, neck, arms, legs, chest, feet, and hands and even on my bum! They also jabbed me with sharp objects and sticks. They stole my earring "HEEY!" I yelled and stood up shaking all the little blighters off of me "GIVE THAT BACK!" I yelled again chasing the one who had my earring as the rest of them ran to cover.

 I caught the little git and started having a fight with him. It's harder than it sounds! But eventually after being bitten and attacked a few more times, I succeeded. I retrieved my earring and stood up before they could do anything else, but that didn't stop the little gits. Oh no, they were not satisfied just yet were they! They just had to carry on attacking me! They bit at my ankles and one grabbed onto the hem of my dress "BUGGER OFF" I screamed as I shook him off and ran as fast as I could in these heels back to Burrow.

The little gits ran after me "MRS. WEASLEY!!!!" I screamed as loud as I could when I was much closer to the house "MRS. WEASLEY!!!!" I repeated as I was running in circles trying to get rid of the little freaky things "CHARLIE, FRED, GEORGE, ARTHUR!" I heard someone yell from the house, and then I heard laughing "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" I scolded as I carried on running "No it's hilarious!" Someone said back "NOT MY HEELS YOU LITTLE BAS... GIT!" I yelled at the creature because he just scratched them, then I heard more laughter. I ran after the little git and kicked him far into the distance. However, I only made the others more angry and continued to run. I was not concentrating on the floor I was more focused on running. Merlin I'm tired! I fell in a ditch or something "Ahh!" I screamed slightly as I fell.

"GET OFF YOU FREAKY LITTLE GIT!" I yelled as one pulled my hair and another ripped my earrings out "OW" I huffed in annoyance; suddenly I was being pulled to my feet and dragged inside. I stood in the front room with the twins "What did you do to them?" They asked as they snickered "Nothing" I whined "Whoa what happened to you?" Someone asked and I turned and glared at them "I was at a beauty competition. WHAT THE HELL DOES IT LOOK LIKE?" I sarcastically replied and screamed the last part. 

They all looked shocked and I walked over to Mrs. Weasley "Excuse me, but where the room I shall be occupying for the holiday is?" I asked politely "Oh yes dear" She said without looking at me "Second floor, the room next to Charlie's" She gave me the directions and I followed them, but only to the second floor.

 I knocked on a few doors until someone answered "Hello?" He asked looking "Your Charlie?" I asked "Err... Yes" He replied "Whose room is that?" I asked "Guest room" He replied "Right... Thanks" I replied rudely and walked into the room next door. It was small, but it was cosy. I noticed my suitcase and opened it and pulled out a full body mirror. After I placed I didn't like what I saw in it. Me. I was covered in bruises and dry blood, my hair was all over the place and my dress was covered in filth "AHHHHHHHH!" I screamed "I LOOK HIDEOUS!!!" I added.

I rushed back over to my suitcase and pulled out a pair of PJ's and a pair of slippers before I ran down stairs to Mrs. Weasley "May I use your bathroom Ma'am" I asked politely "Oh of course you can" She replied joyfully, but didn't tell me where it was so I went back up to the second floor and looked around.

 I knocked on the door on the other side of my room "Hello?" The boy answered snobbery as he opened the door "Yeah hi... Where is the shower?" I asked, he just smirked "I'll show you" He said stepping out of his room and leading the way to the bathroom. 

We walked down a flight of stairs and he pointed to a door "There it is" He stated "Thanks" I replied and thought *Towel!*"Accio towel" I clicked my fingers and waited for my towel to show up. When it did I quickly walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I turned the shower on and stripped. I stepped into the shower and washed my hair and body, but I was bored so I decided to casually sing some random song that I wrote after that day. I called it Haunted.

(Pretend it's Lucy! Please)-(Kelly Clarkson-Haunted)

after I finished singing, I stepped out of the shower and grabbed my towel. I wrapped the towel around my chest and pulled on the hem lightly to pull it down as far as it goes. Which from my chest it goes to mid thigh on me. A bit inappropriate, but it's better than running around naked don't you think? I unlocked the bathroom door and walked through the hall and up the stairs to the second floor. 

Unfortunately I just been so stupid to have bumped into someone and I fell backwards, but before my body could hit the floor, I was caught by a pair of arms "Sorry" They said quickly and helped me back to my feet "Don't bother, my fault. Bye" I quickly made my escape and entered my room. I closed the door and let the towel slide off of my body. I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out some underwear. I then walked over to the bed and put my pyjamas.

 I was so bored, so I started to unpack my suitcases and put my tops and dresses into the wardrobe, I put my jeans, shorts and skirts in the chest of draws and my heels and trainers were lined up underneath the bed. I placed all my jewellery onto some stands that I brought with me and placed them on top of the chest of draws. I scattered my perfumes and spray's around the little desk in the room and placed a small circular mirror on the desk as well. I also put my make up on there "Finally!" I exclaimed happily "I'm starved" I said quietly as I listened to my belly growl, begging for food.

Wait I'm forgetting something, but what? Oh that's right, I have to thank Charlie for saving me from those little beast things. Bloody awful things they are! Well at least I got my earring back, which is a good thing. I smiled to myself. My belly rumbled again and I needed to take my mind off of it so I walked over to the door and swung it open, I heard a gasp and looked up to see them, it was... Charles. 

He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly then his eyes met mine *Beautiful bright blue eyes* I thought as I gazed into his eyes*with a bit of turquoise mixed in around the edge*. He cleared his throat, blushing slightly "Mum said teas ready" He smiled and walked away. I sighed in annoyance *Just a 'in the moment' experience, it means nothing* I thought as I ran down stairs to the kitchen. 

I sat down next to Fred? I think he's Fred anyway I sat down at the table "So how was it? Being attacked by garden gnomes I mean" One of the identical boys questioned "They were gnomes?!" I asked in disbelief and shock "Err... Yes" They chuckled at my reaction. Thankfully Mrs. Weasley put a plate of food down in front of me and I started eating. They asked me more and more questions about my little fight with those nasty little buggers, but I just ignored them. Well at least they were not asking me about Bellatrix.
