I'm in love with Lucy Snape, but I'm a Weasley!

~Chapter twenty one: Nice to see you here~

"Yes, I did call" I replied 

"Yes...We better leave quickly due to the fact that I think the Carrows will notice I have gone" dad sighed rolling his eyes at the though of the Carrows 

"Carrows?" Fred asked 

"Yes, they are brother and sister, they help out at the school..." Dad smiled, he smiled an evil smile 

"What do you mean?" I whispered, frowning 

"They help out with the punishments. I think your dear friends should know how to behave by now" 

I stared open mouthed at my dad. These Carrows must of been the death eaters I saw earlier on when I wanted to talk to dad about his book about potions. And if these Carrows were death eaters they have got to be harsh.

"Oi! What's happened to Ron and Ginny! Are they alright?" Fred growled 

"Mr Weasley went with Mr Potter, goodness knows where. And your sister got a punishment for her cheek the other day, along with Mr Longbottom whom has been writing on the walls 'Dumbledore's army, still recruiting' " 

"Oh my gosh..." I gasped

"Well enough with this chat, lets get to Hogwarts!" Fred demanded

"Very well, like I said to you Lucy as headmaster I can apparate and so we shall. Both of you take my arm"

Me and Fred stepped either side of dad and took his arm. He apparated as soon as we had grabbed hold and before we knew it we were up on the astronomy tower.

I looked around at the new scenery and scanned the place for any differences. But there were none. I walked toward the metal railing and looked at the sky, the sun was setting and the sky had a gray tinge to it, it was almost eery. 

"Nice to be back" Fred smiled joining me 

"Yeah, it is, isn't it?" Technically I had wasted a lot of my seventh year camping with Fred

"Move along" dad snapped shoving me in the direction of the stairs along with Fred whom was shocked at the sudden action of my father. I gave him a look to say 'get used to it' 

We entered the corridor and yet again I looked around. Empty. Which was strange because the corridors would be full of students heading down to the great hall for lunch.

"Where is everybody?" Fred murmured

"Where they should be" dad interrupted, "in their dormitories" 

"But dad! This is when everyone should be down in the great hall having dinner" 

"Yes, your right" dad nodded, "when Dumbledore was in charge that happened" 

Oh god I despised my father more every minute. He was turning Hogwarts into some sort of jail! A jail! Not a place to learn and meet up with your friends and have fun, no this was the kids idea of hell. 

"Where are my friends! The Gryffindors!" I squeaked 

"Well now I come to think of it they aren't in their dormitories, they are hiding somewhere or other" dad snarled 

"Yes, well, I want to see them!" 

"You will not, now go have a walk or something. See how your fathers changed the place, done the school, teachers and students the world of good" 

"DAD!" I screeched turning around sharply to face him, I stepped towards him and stared into his eyes 

"Yes, Lucy?"
