The Grindelwald Legacy
A/N: Magpie 79. Not as yet, later, who knows, but I hope not.
Chapter 30
“Sit down.” The Potion Master roared.
Maxi immediately obeyed the command, Lucy however was rooted to the spot, staring in shock at the irate Professor.
“You can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do. I’ve finished with this school. I’m leaving and I’m going to find a proper school, one that teaches normal lessons instead of all this stupid, ridiculous, hocus pokus. Come on Maxi.”
Again she went to stomp out the door, but Maxi stayed put, effectively halting Lucy who was still holding his collar.
The dark wizards voice held much more command than his young mistress and he instinctively obeyed the new alpha.
Lucy glared at the dog. “Traitor.” She hissed, letting go of his collar and storming out of the office.
“Let her go Severus.” Albus said when the Potion Master started after her. “Neither Argus nor Hagrid will allow her through the gates at this late hour.”
“Unless of course she decides to simply ‘will’ them to open herself.”
“I didn’t think of that. Very well, bring her back and I will have Fawkes take a message to Hetty, let her know the situation.”
Severus took the spiral staircase, then utilised a little known corridor that led directly to the main entrance hall.
By the time Lucy navigated her way to the her room, stuffed what she could of her belongings into her bag and arrived at the main entrance, Severus was already waiting for her. “You took your time.” He drawled.
Stunned, Lucy halted her steps to stare again at the dark countenance of the Potions Master. Twice in a short space of time he managed to appear out of nowhere and take her by surprise, now he was casually leaning against the door, examining his nails, and effectively blocking her exit.
“Going somewhere?” Severus asked.
Lucy’s eyes darted from Severus to the door and back to Severus, trying to judge if she could get by him if he decided to try and prevent her leaving. “Yes.” She hissed. “You know I am. Now if you would just move aside I can be out of your hair for good.”
“As delightful a prospect as that sounds Miss Grindelwald, I am afraid it is not going to happen. I suggest you return to your room and go to bed, it is rather late and I have a yearning for my own.”
“Go on then, I don’t care.” She shouted. “You can’t keep me here if I don’t want to stay. And I don’t. Just leave me alone. I’m sick of all of you. You have no right to tell me what I can and can’t do, or who for that matter. I’m going to my grans, and though I’m sure you and the Headmaster will be in a rush to tell her your side of things, it still doesn’t give you the right to control me. And if gran doesn’t like it well… well… it’s too bad because that’s how I am. Goodbye Professor.”
Determined, Lucy strode purposefully towards the door, intent on ignoring him as much as possible and getting out of the castle.
Severus stood to his full height and Lucy faltered for a moment, but only a moment.
When he stood to the side slightly and made no move to stop her she ran for the door.
“Go ahead, Leave. Why should I concern myself over an oversexed, little chit with the morals of an alley cat, an alley cat who I might add, has attracted the attention of the Dark Lord. Just do not expect me to come to your rescue when you are possibly attacked on the way home. It is rather late after all, and the road to Hogsmead is dark. We do not have the advantage of muggle street lights, you will have only your wand to light the way Miss Grindelwald. Tell me, did Professor Flitwick include dark charms in his instruction periods with you? Are you able to fight magic with magic should someone jump out from the shadows as you walk along that dark, lonely road?”
Lucy was busy studying the intricate jumble of locks that seemed to cover the faces of the large double doors, but his words hit where it hurt. They also made her nervous as hell. She spun on him. “Don’t you dare call me an alley cat. And I’m not oversexed.” She stated, while thinking about the odds of being attacked on her way home. For all she put on an air of confidence and bravado, Lucy was as jumpy as any other sixteen year old girl when it came to risking her neck, and the truth was she did not know how to defend herself against magical beings. She would be hard put defending herself against regular folk. “What do you mean, attracted the attention of the Dark Lord? I’ve never even met the bloke.”
“Your name alone is enough to garner his interest, Grindelwald is a notorious name after all, and there are not too many of you in existence. As a recent addition to the wizarding world, he has made it his business to ascertain as much about you as possible. Fortunately at this time, there is not an awful lot for him to discover, other than you are as ignorant as the next muggle, hence hardly likely to be of use to him. Yet.” He leaned towards her, hissing the last word in her face and unnerving her even more.
“Don’t bloody call me ignorant. What do you mean yet? And why say he might be waiting for me when you just said he’s not interested in me?”
“Language Miss Grindelwald. I did not say he was not interested, merely that there was nothing about you to garner his interest at the moment. That is likely to change however, and the Dark Lord is not one to pass up an opportunity should it arise. But I am not your guardian, fortunately, so by all means, be on your way. I am not about to stand in your way. Just hurry so I can retire to my rooms.”
Lucy kicked the floor with the toe of her trainer. Her boldness had severely dwindled and she no longer felt as confident as she did. “Yeah well I wouldn’t want to be responsible for keeping all you old people up past your bed time. I’ll go in the morning, it’ll give me chance to pack the rest of my things.”
Without a word, Severus stalked off in the direction of the dungeons, a smug look on his face. He’d called her bluff, and won, though the ‘old‘ remark had stung a bit.
Lucy huffed and trudged back to her room defeated. “I’m still leaving. As soon as it’s light I’m off.” She muttered to herself.”
Albus stepped from the shadows, a grave expression on his face. He and Severus had not yet had the chance to discuss the Professors latest dealings with Voldemort, and if what he said to the girl was true, then it was even more important to keep her at Hogwarts. “Off you go boy.” He said to Maxi. The dog licked the old wizards hand and trotted down the corridor to find Lucy.
