Lucy's point of view 

"Pathetic useless boys!" I muttered under my breath as I began chopping ingrediants for the draft of the living death

"What was that Lucy?" Dad asked as he stirred the cauldron with care 

"Nothing dad, just complaining to myself how much boys can destroy your life" I sighed dropping the ingrediants in the cauldron 

"It seems that you have learnt a lesson from this Miss Lucy Snape"

"Yeah I have, never date boys again because they wreck your lives" 

"Yes, that sums it up" and dad smirked slightly 

I sighed and grabbed some more ingrediants to chop up, I couldn't describe how I felt. It was just anger, sadness yet happiness. Happy because I always had dad here for me, anger because of Fred and sadness because I wasn't sure what to do... 

"So has Weasley recovered?" Dad sneered 

"Sort of, I wish you had suffocated him!" I hissed chopping up the ingrediants so furiously that I chopped a bit of my finger "OH SUGAR! BLOOD!" I screamed 

"Calm yourself!" Dad said, he took out his wand and preformed a spell to fix my finger "be more careful!" 

"Sorry, i'm just so angry!" I sighed placing the knife down and not bearing to look at it 

"I know you are" dad sighed rubbing my back gently, "I suggest that you avoid any males from now on" 

"OK...Bye dad!" I laughed heading towards the door 

"Only boys who attend school!" Dad smirked, and I walked back and traded places with dad, so he chopped the ingrediants while I stirred the potion 

"I will dad don't you worry, i'm sorry for disobeying you, I should of never gone out with Fred" I whispered looking down at my feet 

"Never mind, Lucy, you have learnt your lesson that's all that matters to me"

"If you say so..." I muttered, then stopped stiring the potion because it was complete. I grabbed some flasks and began pouring the mixture into them

I shoved the flasks in an empty spot on the shelves, then sat at one of the desks and stared at nowhere in particular. I didn't know what to do, I love Fred (only a little bit) yet I can't forgive him. What should I do? At times like these I need a mum, someone I can talk to to discuss my problems. Someone apart from dad...

But wait! I could write to Tonks! She could help me! She did say if I needed any help write to her! Well that's just smashing!  

Dad left the room suddenly and I quickly pulled out a piece of parchment, a pot of ink and a quill. I set them down on the table, positioned my quill above the parchment and began to write: 

Dear Tonks 

Hey! How are you getting on? Is your job tough? Is Sirius getting on alright in Grimmuald place? I hope so. More to the point I have a big question to ask you. What would you do if a boy cheated on you, yet you still had feelings for him...Please help!

I rolled up the piece of parchment then whistled. Cedric flew down from his perch on the ceeling and landed on my outstretched finger, he hooted happily and I placed the letter in his beak. 

"Can you deliever this to Nymphadora Tonks for me?" Ced gave me a quizzical look,  "you know? The metamorphmagus! She was sporting bright pink hair last time we saw her, she probably still has it now." 

Ced hooted in approval then flew towards the window, doing his upmost to try and fly with a letter which was twice the size of himself. I shook my head, yet at the same time I smiled. I got up then transformed into my doe form. 

I trotted towards the great hall happily, letting all my cares dissapear out of my mind. It was only when I was passing the main courtyard I stopped. There sat the twins, Fred and George. Fred had his hands in his face and George looked a bit annoyed 

"For god sakes get over it Fred! She's a Snape! What do you expect? For her to be all nice? NO! She takes after her father! Go out with Harmony Malfoy!" George shouted at his brother 

"NO! I WON'T GET OVER IT!" Fred shouted in return, his head snapping up from his hands "you don't know how much I loved her George...YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH!"

"Pull yourself together!" George hissed "people can hear you and your big mouth you know!" 

"I don't care! I love Lucy Snape and now because of Angelina we can't be together. So i'm going to shout it out loud because it's the truth..." Fred took a deep breath and stood on the stone bench "I LOVE LUCY SNAPE!" He yelled 

"God shut up you raving lunatic!"

"MAKE ME!" 

My doe eyes were wide in shock, I was causing the twins too much grief. I was most probably never meant to be born, maybe things would be better that way...

"Look everybody! It's the freak! Snape's daughter!" Draco yelled 

"She is such a weirdo! I mean what is with her hair? And with that pale complexion?" Pansy jeered 

"Who'd want to be friends with her?" 

"You'd be mad to be friends with a freak like her! I mean her fathers a Slytherin and she got placed in Gryffindor! Where mud-bloods and blood traitors live!" 

"And your complaining Pansy?" 

"Oh no Draco, why would I be complaining over such a FREAK!" 

"Nice one Parkinson!" Crabbe declared 

"Go on Snape! Clear off to your first lesson before I get you sent down to the chamber of secrets!" Draco cackled...

* 

That happened in my second year...It wasn't until the end of third year did I round up friends, like Pansy said i'm a freak. I'm not cool and I am certinly not popular. Fred shouldn't be wasting his time getting me back, and I shouldn't be wasting my time even thinking about him! 

I returned to human form and slid down the pillar that I was hiding behind, I hugged my knees to my chest and let my hair drape across my face like curtains, my life did suck, and we all knew it... 

* 

"Snape! Snape! She'll never ever get a date! Or maybe she'd get the giant squid-in-the-black-lake!" I was back in first year, in the corridor and the Slytherin's were chanting too me 

"Watch your step Snape!" Malfoy laughed as he moved his leg right in front of me, sadly I tripped and my books scattered on the floor

 "Awww! Your tripped Snape! Where's my postcard?" Pansy shrieked with laughter 

I simply got up again and hurried away down towards the dungeons where dad would be, I wanted to tell him about the fact I was being bullied. I knocked on the door hopefully and dad answered looking rather annoyed 

"What is it?" He snapped 

"Can I talk to you?" I whimpered 

"Make it quick! I haven't got all day!" 

"The Slytherin's are bullying me..." 

"Oh just ignore them! Your a Gryffindor! Brave and bold is what they are supposed to be! Not weak and easy targets! I'm surprised the sorting hat didn't throw you in Hufflepuff! Now hurry up and go to your dormitory! I have potions to make!" 

"Well maybe I could help - ?" 

"NO! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HELP ME! THE SORT OF PERSON YOU ARE YOU'LL TRIP AND KNOCK OVER ALL THE INGREDIANTS! NOW LEAVE MY SIGHT!" 

"OK - i'm sorry..." I whispered now close to tears 

* 

I woke up suddenly, I was in the Gryffindor common room now, I hadn't bothered to go to the great hall after all. I couldn't bare to look at Fred's hurt face and George sneer at me because of the mess I had created. 

I turned onto my front and cried into my pillow, this was the only thing I could do now. I couldn't go and see dad because one it was so early in the morning anf two I couldn't bare to see his face because of the dream I had just had (well it wasn't a dream it was a true memory) 

Why did he have to be so evil when I was younger? Did he choose to be like that? Was he made to? Did he just hate my guts generally, but then changed as I got older and he learned to love me? (Apart from the fact he told Ummbridge about me) 

Just then an owl flew through the open window, it landed on my headboard and hooted softly so it could get my attention. I sat up, dried my tears then took the letter from the owl. Turns out there were two letters! The first one was from Tonks, I was just dying to open this...

Dear Lucy 

Wotcher Fawn! I'm getting on fine! Hope your well too! Yeah my jobs getting a bit tough, trying to keep the location of Grimmuald place out of the public eye. And generally trying to kick bad guys butts. So your big question is about boys? I've had a few encounters with them, lets just say they didn't end well...But, I can give you advice! So what would I do if a boy cheated on me...Well for starters I might either tell a trusted adult (in your case your father) or I would talk to the boy because I still had feelings for him. It's the best way because a problem shared is a problem halved! 

Hope this helps! 

- Tonks

P.S) tell Snivellus he's a git, I haven't forgiven him for his cheek in King's cross 

PP.S) Remus and Sirius ask how your getting on with your animagus stuff 

I placed the letter on my bed side cabinet and smiled slightly, Tonks knew how to make me laugh. (Even though I wouldn't call my dad a git, even for Tonks. Despite our fights I did have respect for my father) 

I grabbed the other letter and opened it with the pen knife which I had taken out from her top draw, I pulled the piece of parchment which had fancy writing on and read it:

Dear Lucy 

Why weren't you in the great hall last night? I am concerned, was it because of Mr Weasley? Right I don't care what the time is as soon as you get this letter come straight to the dungeons and knock on the door. 

- Love dad 

I tossed the letter on my bedside cabinet and got out of bed, I grabbed my dressing down (made out of a material similar to silk) and walked out of the common room and down to the dungeons.
