chapter seven; New Years Ball at the Black's
"We decided that you two are going to share your future."

Lucy Reese Collins

MOLLY GRABS MY DRESS AS I START WITH MY MAKE UP FOR THE BALL AT THE BLACK'S. "Lucy! Hurry up, we are already late." It's my dad. "I am almost finished father!" I yell back at him and I really hope he's in a good mood today. Normally when I shout at him like that, he is not happy. I quickly get in my green cocktail dress and after I step in my heels. As I walk downstairs my dad looks at me. He pulls me closer to my hair, which makes me shriek. "I hope you won't talk to me like that at the party, young lady." "Of course not, father," I mumble and right after he lets go of my hair. "Grab your coat and wait outside." I do as he says while he gets his gift for the mother of Sirius. When he is done he grabs my arm and without warning, he apperates us to the Black's.

30 minutes later we are in the living room of the Blacks and I think someone cast a spell to make it look bigger. A slim woman walks towards us and hugs my dad. "Xavier, it's so good to see you." "Walburga, it has been a while." My dad says with sympathy. Wow, I didn't know he had that, sympathy. "And you must be Lucy! The last time I saw you were only 5 years old. You have grown into a beautiful young woman." She looks at me and kisses me on the cheek. Okay, I didn't expect this. A little bit further I see Sirius looking and it looks like he's laughing at me. "Thank you, ma'am. I am so sorry, but I don't remember you." "I don't expect you to know me, dear. As I said, it's been ages. My name is Walburga Black, you may have met my sons, they go to Hogwarts. Regulus and Sirius Black?" I smile a bit. "I indeed do know them. Both of them are absolutely extraordinary wizards." Walburga lays a hand on my arm. "You are too sweet...-" She pauses for a moment. "-Unfortunately I have to go, but enjoy the party and I am pretty sure we will be seeing each other again tonight." "I am pretty sure we will." It's my dad. I try to smile a bit. "I think I am going to find some friends," I say and without waiting for my dads' answer I walk away.

"Good to see that you're wearing my colour, Garfield." I laugh as I join the boys. "How could I not, I would love to make your day a bit better." "What is that supposed to mean?" He grins a bit. "Well, I can imagine living with only your dad can be hard sometimes, isn't it." My heart drops, he did hear at the platform. "You got your point, Garfield. 2-2, we are even." I say. When we are talking about this, I can't get too deep into it. "That was easy." Charles laughs, but when he sees my face he stops. "Don't worry about it... So what did you guys do during Christmas?" Nate sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "Hudson brought his little girlfriend from Gryffindor. Damn, she talks too much. My parents loved her and after that, they couldn't stop talking about me getting a girlfriend." The boys and I laugh. I feel someone staring at me and look inside. Sirius stands there with a small smile while looking at me. I smile back at him. "Noah what did you do?" "Well I went to France with my-"
