“Convince me that it’s not real, then,” says Luna airily. It’s not the first time she’s used this retort, and it won’t be the last. She’s used to not being believed — it’s what happens when a society relies on the ignorance of people. “Proof me that I’m wrong. ” She smiles, then. “I inherited some of my father’s personality too. And thank you; I made them myself.”
“That’s... Kind of a sad way of looking at things, though, isn’t it?” Lucy asked after a moment of silence at Luna’s response. “If you can’t prove it’s not real, then it’s real? Which would mean that everything is real, but if everything is real, then reality doesn’t mean anything anymore, which would mean that everything is... Unreal. Wow, I... I don’t like that idea. Let’s get back to your earrings: do you have tips on how to make them? I’m not very creative, but I’ve always wondered if I could perhaps be at least somewhat decent at some kinds of crafts.”

“So. My birthday’s tomorrow, and I usually celebrate with the family, but I’m conflicted. My mom usually organizes it all, but she’s not here right now, unfortunately. Which is why I invited you over. You have taste, and you’re my cousin, and I trust you. Therefore, would you help me somewhat organize things? I know it’s a bit last minute, but things have been a bit... strange, lately, so. Yes. I need your help. Please?”
WHERE: The Burrow.

WHO: Lily Luna Potter. ( @lilyii )
“This is so... Weird. Like, this is the first birthday of my life where I don’t know exactly who to invite to my birthday party. Like, should I invite people from the past out of respect, or would that just be plain awkward? Also, do you think they might have allergies they don’t have right now? I mean, like, sometimes you grow out of allergies, so maybe they’re allergic right now, but the regular versions of them aren’t? Oh my god, what if my cake killed someone?!”

“Did you know that rich European muggles, like kings and what not, used not to wash themselves because they thought it was unhealthy? Instead, they basically bathed in perfume. I just read that in a muggle science magazine, and like... Do you think we did the same? Wizards and witches and wix, I mean? Like, hygiene-wise, we haven’t always been the most impressive, so maybe we were even worse.”

“You know you can’t just convince me that something’s real without truth, right? I don’t like to brag, but I did inherit a lot from my father personality-wise, and I’m not going to believe something you say just because you say it. I need proof. Explanations. I do love your earrings, though!”
Emma nearly jumped in surprise as she felt a pair of hands come over her eyes; even after all those months, it was strange knowing they were not actively at war, that she didn’t need to fear death at every corner, that she had somehow managed to survive. She sputtered. “Hello?”
“Oh my god. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I’m so sorry! I thought you were someone else, I— Shit. Oh my god, I’m so so so so so sorry,” Lucy sputtered out as she moved away from the other witch, her heart beating faster out of sheer panic at what she had just done. Of course she’d do that to the wrong person. Of course she would. How else could her life possibly get any more ridiculous if that wasn’t the case?
Location: Malfoy Apothecary store, Diagon Alley
Date: August 20, 2029
Draco & open
It wasn’t often that Draco was by the counter of Malfoy Apothecary, but sometimes the situation simply called for it. Their store in Diagon Alley had been busy for a couple of weeks now, probably because freaked out people felt saver when they had potions in stock and this situation called for freaking out. Draco had been brewing potions in his old or current apartment (he wasn’t sure what to call it) that he discovered was still in their family and empty in that year. Since he was still a Malfoy and apparently his older version was in charge of the family company in this year, he appointed himself potioneer as well. It felt like an extremer version of nepotism than he thought possible, so he attempted to put in the work.
At a more quiet moment, Draco was taking a few notes in his journal by the counter when there were no customers. Seconds later, the door opened yet again. Looking up, Draco asked with his customer-friendly undertone, “Welcome to Malfoy Apothecary, how can I help you? If you’re looking to stock up on potions, we just got a new and fresh batch of healing potions in today.” He did have to remind himself that changes were very slim that a Death Eater just happened to walk in here that knew what ended the Second Wizarding War. His Mark was active, but no one had to know he had one. Freaking out wouldn’t do him any good. He’d do better helping the people that were. “Alternatively, you can place an order, since apparently we’re gonna be here for a while,” he added.
“Oh, hello,” Lucy smiled as she nodded at the man by the counter. She had had to go to the apothecary store to get some healing potions for home. Her clumsiness led to much more injuries than she would have cared to admit, and so she often ran out of those quickly. What she didn’t expect when coming in, though, was seeing someone from the past. Not one to pay very close attention to people outside of her circle, mainly due to social awkwardness, she wasn’t entirely sure who the blond was, though she had a pretty good guess he was a Malfoy, considering the store itself. And considering the fact that the amount of Malfoys wasn’t that impressive, well...
“Are you— Um, I mean, do you have, uh... What kind of healing potions did you get, exactly? Uh, sir. What kind of healing potions did you get exactly, sir?” she asked, trying her best not to suddenly throw herself on the floor and pretend to be dead to avoid any more awkwardness. Did she just call someone who was pretty much her own age sir? Then again, he was probably who she was thinking he was, but still... Lucy sometimes really wished she had a better grasp on how to interact with other people. And animals. She wasn’t all that good with those either. People would be slightly more important, though, seeing what she was trying to do for a living. And so, for now, she’d focus on them. Not that she’d completely give up on animals, but... They were maybe not the best priority to have at the moment.
CHINA ANNE MCCLAIN? No, that’s actually LUCY WEASLEY from the NEXT GENERATION ERA. You know, the child of PERCY WEASLEY and AUDREY WEASLEY (NÉE BETHENCOURT)? Only 21 years old, this RAVENCLAW alumni works as a HEALER IN TRAINING and is sided with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. SHE identifies as CIS-WOMAN and is a HALF-BLOOD who is known to be CREDULOUS, PRESUMPTUOUS, and DISORGANIZED but also FOCUSED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and HONEST. — &&. ( SAM, EST, THEY/THEM, 24. )
character parallels: charles boyle ( brooklyn nine-nine ) + adrian monk ( monk ) + fear ( inside out ) + c3po ( star wars ) + samwell tarly ( game of thrones ) + susan pevensie ( the chronicles of narnia ) + ben wyatt ( parks and recreation ) + seth cohen ( the o.c. ) + willow rosenberg ( buffy the vampire slayer ) + the little prince ( the little prince ) !!
THREE HEADCANONS
01. Lucy was conceived through the help of a sperm donor. She doesn’t know why, andreally isn’t interested on how her parents decided to procreate. She knows she’s not Percy’s biological child, and though she’s not typically one to fight, just try and tell her she’s not a “true” Weasley to see just how that side of her can be awaken. Percy’s her dad, and she loves him. He, her mom and her sister are Lucy’s favourite people in the world. Plus, she adores the rest of her huge family. She’d do anything for any of them, and that used to include snitching on them when they were younger if she thought they were putting themselves into danger. Her logic was that, even though they may not like her at that moment, she could keep on loving them for the rest of forever since they were still alive. She was a slightly overdramatic child.
02. She’s dreamt of becoming a healer since she was eight years old, and though she changed her mind a few times in the process, she always came back to it, which is why she’s now a healer in training at St. Mungo’s. She’s always been fascinated with healing, but most of all, with the way it could converge with muggle medicine. Lucy thinks she got that passion from her grandfather, as he’s the one in the family who’s always been fascinated by all things muggle, and though her own mother was muggleborn, it was with Grandpa Arthur that she talked about all things muggle. She loved sharing the passion with him, and loves discussing the differences and similarities between medicine and healing, the more she learns about them, with him.
03. Lucy doesn’t lie, and therefore, she always assumes that people are saying the truth. She’s not very good at discerning sarcasm, and tends to need things to be straightforward to understand them. Sometimes, she can be a bit brutal with her honesty, but she’s been working on that, as she honestly despises hurting other people. She wants to heal others, after all. Her tendency to take things to the first degree can be a bit problematic, though, especially when she gets sarcastic patients who are very obviously hurt, but say “Oh, no, I’m having a great day.” To make sure it doesn’t get in the way of her work, though, she’s started taking more value in facts than words, though. So, for example, if someone is hurt, she’ll analyze their physical problem and take their words into consideration, and then try to determine what it is that is wrong exactly. It’s a bit more work than for some other people, but Lucy’s smart and knowledgeable, and she’s excellent at her job. Not so much with talking to the patients due to her honesty, but… At healing them? Excellent.
MORE INFORMATION
AN ABSOLUTE NERD! But like, my favourite nerd.
Panromantic and demisexual, and a hopeless romantic. Problem is: she’s very clumsy when it comes to love and flirting and what not, and more often than not, she ends up embarrassing herself. I imagine her having a huge crush on someone, too, which will be in the wanted connections part of the connections page!
Loves her family with her whole ass heart. Not that she’d put it like that, because she does try to be careful with her language; what if she slipped up in front of a patient? She has to constantly be careful.
FOOD TW // Has a huge sweet tooth, and loves all things cute. Adores baby animals, but is also terrified of them because they’re so unpredictable. Chooses her clothes based on how cute she thinks they are, and does sometimes sacrifice comfort for cuteness, except maybe for shoes and when she works.
Is always cold.
Always manages to say the wrong thing when she’s trying to flirt. It’s funny, really. Well, to everyone but her.
Loves reading muggle fiction! I’ve decided that she loves both science nonfiction and YA sci fi & fantasy. There’s absolutely no in-between. Hates mysteries, though, because she always manages to find flaws in them. Which is not to say that the books she does read are flawless; just that their flaws bother her a lot less.
i PERSONALLY would like to FALL IN LOVE please!!!!!! and have the SAME PERSON fall in love with me BACK!!!!!!! could i get some MUTUAL AFFECTION out here!!!!!!!!!!
