I am different, I am strange - Charlie Weasley

16) Answers ~ Charlie's and Percy's P.O.V

Charlie's P.O.V

I was sat in my room with Henry, my best mate from work. We were talking about the new Dragons and Dragonlings at the reserve, it was quite cool. We've got an Opaleye, two new Hungarian Horntail's and a baby Chinese fireball and a baby Vipertooth, but he's apparently rare. However Henry's being a sod and won't tell me why. 

Suddenly, there was a scream next door "LUCY!" I exclaimed. As I went to stand up, I heard a 'CSSH' (A/N: Sorry, I don't know what a mirror smashing sounds like) followed by a soft thud "What she doing in there?" Henry asked in shock "I ain't bloody pshycic!" I exclaimed in worry "What do we do?" I asked him. He shrugged "Dunno mate" He said honestly, then he stood up and we went to walk out of the room again, but she screamed again.

What the hell is she doing in there? We walked downstairs to find Mum. I walked into the kitchen and thankfully Mum was there along with Percy, but he wouldn't take notice, he's way to busy with his boring studies "Hey Mum, somethings up with Lucinda" I told her, but before she had time to react, Percy jumped up "I'll check on her" He said quickly and ran. Yep, he ran out of the room. I was officially shocked at this turn of events. The only time that I have seen hi run that fast was when we were at Hogwarts and he refused to be late to lesson. 

WOW!  he does have a heart after all. I then sat down at the table talking with Mum and Henry. You know just a bit of catching up "OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR!" I heard Perce scream angrily at the top of the stairs, but I have no idea if she had answered "LUCY OPEN THE DOOR NOW!" He screamed again, but worry was intertwined in his words. Wow she can be stubborn!

Percy's P.O.V

Charlie came down and said something about Lucinda and straight away I shot up. I had some idea on what this was about. Charlie. Peter. Parents. Her. I ran up the stairs and tried to open her door. It was locked, why was it locked? Is she okay? "Luce, open the door" I told her softly, but got no answer "OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR" I screamed, but still received no answer. Now I am worried, why isn't she answering me? Why? "LUCY OPEN THE DOOR NOW!" I demanded, I waited for her reply or the door to unlock, but neither happened "HERMIONE! GINNY! RON!" I screamed, suddenly the door unlocked "NEVER MIND!" I yelled again and pushed the door open.   

I looked behind the door to see Lucy with her back pushed up against the wall, her head was in her arms and her arms rested on her knees that had been brought upto her chest. I closed the door and sat opposite her "Lucy?" I questioned quietly "Percy... I w-w-went to see m-my pa-re-rents t-today an-and th-they-" I cut her off "Calm down, take deep breaths" I told her quietly, she stood up and walked over to her desk. Something glistening and shining caught my eye, I looked towards her mirror.

 It was cracked and red stained it's surface in different areas, my gaze followed the narrow red river trailing down her mirror, redirecting my gaze to the floor where I saw red splatters randomly dropped around the floor. Was it blood? Did she hurt her self? My thoughts were interrupted by a piece of parchment being shoved in my face. I took it from her as she continued to sob. I wonder what could be so bad to have made her cry like this. I began to read the letter or note or whatever you want to call it.

I went to visit my parents today and I wish I had not because right now, I really regret it. But I knew that I had to know, so maybe it was a good thing that I saw them. I asked them my questions. As for Peter, well he is Bellatrix Lestranges son and she wants me dead because I am to marry her nephew. I had told them that I love another and honestly, I have only just realised how much that guy means to me, but I have to marry this other guy. I also found out that they are not my real parents and that I had a little brother, also I have learnt that the guy I love is engaged.

I do not know what hurts more. Knowing you are marrying a man who is a traitor and pure evil or knowing that the man you only just realised you love is engaged. What do you think? I mean, how can I face him now? How can I tell him how I feel, without getting hurt? Please Percy you have t help me! I am so messed up right now, my hand is stinging like mad, my mirror is broken and I have no parents. No family. I feel fake, my childhood is a fake, I am a fake.

Percy I watched  my biological parents murder, I watched him slaughter my parents, my little brother, I had to leave my little brother behind. I hear his voice Percy, I hear his voice! He always makes me feel guilty, he always askes why I left. I was taken from him Percy, but I can not tell him that! Please help me, please. I am to marry on the 1st of may! I would rather DIE than marry HIM! I HATE HIM, I DO NOT LOVE HIM! PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU PERCE. HELP ME.

I gasped  in shock. She is being forced to marry. She does not know her real parents. No wonder she is such a cow at times! I looked at her, my expression serious "Who are you marrying? Whose engaged?" I asked, yes I am VERY curious, but it is also to understand her hatred. She took the parchment off of me and picked up another pen. Her writing is normally neat. Oh, shut up Percy, can you not see, shes upset! She handed the parchment back to me and I accepted it and read the newly added words at the bottom of the page.

I am to marry Draco but please. I am begging you. DO NOT TELL ANYONE please Percy I am trusting you with this.

I looked up from the parchment, I saw a very puffy eyed Lucy, my sight wondered to her fist. Why? I don't know, they just did. I saw dry blood covering her knuckles, I took her opposite, unhurt hand in mine and looked into her eyes "Don't worry Luce, I promise to not tell anyone, but always remember this, us Weasleys may not be your family by blood, but we are always here for you and we consider you family Mum and Dad view you as their daughter and Bill, me, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny see you as our sister same as Harry and Hermione. You are NEVER alone and don't you ever believe that you are because I promise you, you aren't" I gave her a little speech and for once I was being honest. I don't get it, every time I am around Lucinda, I feel as if I could tell her anything. It's weird "Now lets get you down to Mum, you need to get that hand cleaned up. We don't want you to get some infection now do we?" I questioned jokingly, she smiled slightly and nodded.
