☆ LUCY WEASLEY ☆

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️he was a sight to BEHOLD ━━━━━ covered in shades of red and brown, and looking like a chocolate and pepper soup. not that she ever had a chocolate and pepper soup, of course, but he looked like one. ‘ i knew this tournament would make some murderous, but i didn’t think you’d be the FIRST to crack. my bet was on ROMAN or something. ’ not that she was allowed to make bets. cam and ari had lost their fortunes to each other, and lucy didn’t have a fortune. scowling, she imagined the flag, hidden within that GROSS, DISGUSTING NEST. she would rather not know where it was herself, but at least she was glad she wasn’t DEFENDING IT.    

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️‘ CHARLIE, CHARLIE. . . i don’t wanna’ know, okay? i don’t want to even think about where you’ve been- ’ she raised her hands and took a step away from his usually beautiful face, ‘ -besides, i don’t want to be anywhere near you if they decide to AVENGE their breached territory. ’ GRIMACING at the idea, she took a breath and glanced around. why wasn’t her head more in the game? lucy had dreamt of being a fifth year and finally being old enough to be in the games. but something ate at her now, being in this forest. SECRETS came to life and died here, in more ways than one, and it was hard to FORGET IT. but she would force it. . . for gryffindor.

‘ OF COURSE, ’ SHE SNEAKILY TOOK OUT A POUCH. ‘ -IT’S THE GOOD STUFF. ’

     lucy was trying to look cool, opening it and taking a sniff. WRONG MOVE. immediately, she DIED, coughing her lungs out. SO MUCH FOR SILENCE. ‘ yeah, don’t smell it- ’ she tried to warn between coughs, nodding her head along as she tried to get back to normal BREATHING, ‘ yeah, yeah, hufflepuff. ’ they were absolutely the weakest. ‘ although, knowing ari and asa, they might take themselves out. ’ PROBABLE. ‘ also, we have to make sure we have a plan to defeat slytherin, even if we leave them for last. i can’t tell you how i know this, but patil is allergic to bees. i mean, it might kill her, but we should keep it on the table. ’ LOSE TO THEM?

                         WOULD BE WORSE THAN DEATH. ‘ . . .are we using the POWDER? ’                               she began tracking asa into huffie lands. ‘ may not be ENOUGH for all? ’

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️it was hard to tell whether she shivered from the wintery air or the hand he held at her waist, encircling her hips with a HARSHNESS that might have hurt, if it hadn’t left her skin all tingly like it was on FIRE. lucy wasn’t entirely sure where all her bravery came from━━━━━ maybe it was just flat out STUPIDITY. either way, her eyes seemed to match the hungry look that resided in his. his tongue swept across hers starvingly, leaving her dazed and breathless. her fingers grasped onto the shoulders of his shirt tightly at the impact of his lips on hers, DEVOURING. luce felt like she’d been CAUGHT, the explosion startling her.

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️her hands still clung to her coat as caramel hues blinked up at the CHAOS that ensued right before her eyes. violent spells collided against a white barrier around the castle; she could feel the tremors beneath her feet with every HIT they landed. they, who? panic rose to the surface slowly, the fire that had once sizzled across her skin FREEZING. if he hadn’t swung her behind him, lucy might never have moved at all. she felt her fingers curl around the sleeve of his shirt in FEAR, eyes wide with a rising terror that was sure to lead to some EMBARRASSING moments. fred and james would tell her NOT to trust a boy.

‘ THE FOREST?! THAT’S WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM! ’

     lucy felt her breaths come in pants, as waves of green and black marched out from the very direction he pulled her towards. ‘ believe me, if it were MY choice, i wouldn’t be wearing this either in the middle of another attack! ’ it tug on her skin, left her cold, and was all in all, very uncomfortable. ‘ -theo. . . ’ the warning DIED on her tongue as masses of hooded figures penetrated the barrier at once. it JOLTS her into a run, as she follows him further into the woods with a panic that threatened to consume her entirely. ‘ we have to tell someone, ask for help! ’ why did he appear so CALM about it all? and why was she BLUSHING?

     lucy kept her hand in his even as she STUMBLED on her own feet. ‘ i’m sorry, i just- ’ lucy stuttered, watching the bodies swarm hogwarts without so much as a second glance at them. she could have sworn one looked RIGHT AT theo and had simply kept marching onwards. a sense of SAFETY lurked beneath her fear, and luce wanted to curse herself for feeling it. ‘ why aren’t they attacking us? shouldn’t we be hiding? ’ she felt as though she were out on a STROLL, rather than in the middle of what felt like another disaster. what the fuck was happening?! ‘ aren’t you SCARED at all? ’ she and ari had been.

                                         ' THEO             ’ she tugged at his hands, caramel intent on HAZEL.                                                   she could TRUST him. she could. ‘              WHAT’S HAPPENING? ’

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️for luce, there were lessons she liked and lessons that put her to sleep━━━━━ but none compared to the ones HE taught her. she'd expected a lot of things from theo, but not this. not his PATIENCE, when all he knew was impatience; not his whiskey flavoured lips or his harsh hands on her skin. maybe she felt enamoured, or maybe it was just EXCITEMENT, as she ran her fingers along the side of his face,  marvelling in his sharp, GLASS-CUTTING jaw. she felt the goosebumps rise across her arms as she breathed in his whiskey scent for what might have truly been the hundredth time now.

️ ️ ️️ ️ ️️ ️ ️nerves still rendered her mindless, breathless. no matter how many times she'd TASTED his lips, or touched the hard ripples of his body against her cold fingertips, lucy still felt the fluttering of BUTTERFLIES in her stomach. or maybe that was just the cold? she could practically feel the icy breeze seep through the thin straps that twirled all the way around her small frame, through the coat that SHIELDED the image of her in a new purple lingerie from him. ‘ i kind of have a surprise for you. it’s actually more of a gift, i guess? ’ fingers trickle down the length of his arms, the nervous flutter in her stomach FIERCER.

‘ I SORT OF.  .  . GOT PICKED AS YOUR SECRET SANTA. ’

     she didn’t mind running her once TIMID touch against him anymore, though they still trembled as she twined their hands together briefly━━━━━ it was a familiarity that had grown over the countless weeks she’d spent learning how to move her lips to the sway of his, her tongue. lucy might have SHIVERED from his piercing gaze, if it hadn’t been all she’d looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. or the middle of it. she drew a finger to the collar of her coat, flicking one of the buttons open before tracing the outline of the strap at her shoulder; her skin TINGLED against the cold air and his burning stare.

     despite her newfound bravery, lucy hadn’t forgotten the words he’d PROMISED her, or how they lingered in the back of her mind━━━━━ or even the way she slanted him a look she’d seen only in his eyes; one that meant everything, and yet nothing. ‘ i think i might. . . ’ she knew what she wanted to say, what her wobbly legs and trembling hands BEGGED of her. and yet, her voice caught on the words. ‘ -want MORE. ’ she gulped, as she fought against REASON. lucy might have been thankful for the sound that erupted next, if only for that fact that it offered her a moment of CLARITY, of SANITY.

                                          but that sound wasn’t FRIENDLY; it wasn't KIND or CALMING.                                                   she pulled her coat over her shoulder. ‘ what.  .  . WAS THAT? ’

Asa: Get what?

Charlie: *mouth full of donuts* . . .no.

Lucy: Then what's that white powder on your jeans?!
