  Lucy's P.O.V
I was about to go back to the Burrow when I remember that I forgot to slip my heels back on. So I sat back down and put my shoes on, then stood up again "I gotta remember this place" I said quietly to myself, then I apparated back to the Burrow. I was now outside their house, but I wasn't planning on going in just yet because I can see a very familiar face over there. Peter. The twins were going bright red. Not embarrassed bright red, but angry bright red. Okay, so I gotta go now because they're family to me and I can not just watch them get angry. I apparated right behind Peter and put a finger to my lips, telling the twins to play along and they did "OI gingy's just tell me where Luce is! Or else I'll-" I cut him off "You'll what?!" I snapped angrily, he jumped slightly, then turned around to face me.

He glared coldly "Piss off slut" He hissed at me, I smirked "I live here, you piss off prick" I retorted, the twins chuckled "No, now maybe you'll be more helpful than these-" I cut him off "Insult my family again and you won't be so pretty" I threatened, he gulped "Do you know where Lucinda is?" He asked a little more politely "Present" I answered simply, but he didn't look convinced "Liar" He stated coldly "The only liar I see, is stood right in front of me" I told him expressionless "Where is Lucy?" He hissed "Oh shut it Lestrange, Lucy is in front of you" I said angrily as I stared into his eyes, he stared back his cold glare softening into a gaze "But your hair?" He questioned quietly. FINALLY! He believes me. Idiot! "It changed" I told him "Well nah, I thought it was the exact same!" He exclaimed sarcastically.

I smiled at him "You've not changed" I chuckled and he smiled "Can I talk to you?" He asked "Sure" I answered all the hatred and malice was no longer in our tones. He looked behind him at two very curious identical boys and back at me "Privately" He softly stated, I too then looked at the twins, I smiled at them "Can you please go inside?" I asked them sweetly, they looked at me for awhile as if to ask 'Are you sure?' I chuckled "I'll be fine" I smiled "I will call you if I need help okay?" I asked them still chuckling slightly, they looked at each other before nodding, they looked at me smiled and walked inside, closing the door behind them "Continue" I stated, he chuckled "Lucy, I amsosorry for what I did to you and I never mean't to hurt you.

 I remember everything I said to you and I feel reallybadandit has beenannoyingme, just knowing howmuchyou loved me and trusted me, but it was either break your heart and weaken you or Motherwouldkillyou and I lied to you I know, but I thought that if you knew who my Mother and Father as then you would not have trusted me. BasicallyIamaskingyouforasecondchance" A lot of what he said was so fast that I didn't catch all of it, but most of it I understood "Lovely speech in all, but I didn't catch half of it" I admitted, he smiled "No problem, but can I have a second chance?" He asked, my heart felt as if it stopped, he looked at me with hopeful eyes. I didn't know how to answer him. I mean how would you answer him?..


I was still stood outside the front door to the Burrow, so I grabbed Peter's wrist and dragged him to a certain, yet random part of this mini jungle, but not the part me and Charlie go to because that place is just mine and Charlie's you know what I mean? It would be wrong if I took Peter there. Anyway I took him into the far corner away from the house and sat down, pulling him down with me "So lets start over and this time the truth deal?" I asked "Deal!" He exclaimed, picking up my hand and shaking it. I chuckled slightly.

 "Hi my name is Lucinda Lily Anderson" I smiled sweetly and he returned the smile.

 "Pleasure to meet you. I am Peter Thomas Lestrange" He introduced as he lightly kissed my hand.

 "21 questions?" I questioned smirking "Sure. I start, favorite animal?"

 "Don't have one. Favorite muggle music?" "The Beatles. Dress or jeans?" "Either, depends on weather. What personality do I have?" 

"Funny, strange, cute, unique, sarcastic, positive. Why did you meet me when you knew it was dangerous in Diagon Alley?"

 "Because I trusted you. How come you were a Hufflepuff?" 

"Honestly, I have no idea. What school did you go to?"

 "Beauxbatons. What was your favorite lesson?"

"Charms. Who was your first kiss?"

 "I don't know, I was drunk at a party and he had ginger hair, that's all I know. Siblings?" 

" Only child. Movie or book?"

 "Book. Dragons or mermaids?"

 "Mermaids. Most embrrassing moment?"

 "I got chased by garden gnomes and they were beating me up. Yours?" 

"When I first met you, I stuttered and fell over whilst rehearsing pick up lines. Virgin?"

 "A bit personal... But no, I lost it that night I went to the party with the same guy. How many times have you had a detention?"

 "Never. You?"

 "Never? Yeah right and about 100 times. Bad girls or good girls?"

 "A bit of both. Why?" 

"Sarcasm, tripping headmistress more than once, fights, sneaking out after hours, food fights, arguments, using magic outside of lessons, flying a broom etc. Favorite shop/pub?"

 "Honeydukes. When did you first argue with your parents?" "When I had my first period when I was 14. How many questions have we asked?"

 "No idea. Are we still asking questions?" 

"You still are" I chuckled and he joined in.


"So what have you learn't about me today?" He questioned as he looked at me "You are called Peter Thomas Lestrange. You are 23 years old. You like the Beatles. You went to Hogwarts and your house was Hufflepuff, NOT Slytherin. You're an only child. You prefer Mermaids over Dragons. You embarrassed your self in front of me. You like both good girls and bad girls. Your favorite shop is Honeydukes and your favorite lesson is or was charms" I answered.

 "Your turn" I smiled at him "Okay... Lets see... Your name is Lucinda Lily Anderson. You are 22 today. You don't have a favourite animal and you don't have a favorite style of fashion. You prefer books. You are not a virgin and you have had your first kiss. You attended Beauxbatons. You've had many detentions. Your first argument with your parents was when you had your first period when you were 14! BOOM!" He said quickly and exclaimed the last part happily, I started laughing "So... You know me enough yet?" He asked "I just think that we should start off as friends for a little while, instead of just rushing into things" I explained to him.


Oh yeah I didn't tell you did I -I bet the suspense was killing you- I said no, no, not the not a chance no, but a no not yet no. You know? I just want to be friends for a little while instead of just jumping into a relationship again because I am not exactly sure if I can trust him just like that because the last time I decided to trust him, it resulted in me being heart broken and preferably I'd rather not have that happen again because that was cruel. So yeah I just wanna be friends with him for a while. Plus... I like Charlie too, so I got some thinking to do... I'll get Percy later. What? If I start to think, then I make mistakes and wrong decisions!

It was getting dark out, so I stood up "So Mr. Lestrange, it was a pleasure meeting you" I said "But I am afraid to say that it is almost my bed time" I said like a posh child "No milady, it is my pleasure and I would not want to keep you from your slumber, would you like me to walk you to the door?" He asked in the same childish tone and we burst out laughing "Oh if you must" I said jokingly and he chuckled "Oh I must" He stated "After all, I can not let such a beautiful young woman walk alone in the dark" He added sounding like a gentlemen, he held my hand and we started to walk towards the house

. We talked about loads of different things and half of it was just really random, but unfortunately, the moment had to end. Before I knew it, we were both stood outside the front door. I smiled at Peter "Well good sir, I must bid you goodbye" I told him in a posh accent, he chuckled "Oh, how unfortunate me lady, however this is not good bye" He replied and kissed the top of my hand lightly "Have a good night" He smiled before he turned and disapparated.


I ran into the house and into the kitchen "EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" I squealed excitedly jumping around "PERCY!!!!" I squealed again, excitement rushing through me. He looked up at me smiling "Why so happy Chappy?" He asked, I continued to smile like an idiot "EEEEE!!!!" I squealed again and everyone, except for Charles, who just had a vacant expression as he stared at me "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND... SORTA... AGAIN!" I basically screamed, still smiling, then I randomly started giggling "Who?" Ginny asked eagerly, but I just tapped the side of my nose, suddenly I looked at the twins , who were not very pleased with my decision and Charlie just stood up and left the room.
