The Grindelwald Legacy

Chapter 49

Severus entered the classroom with his usual flair, robes billowing as he stalked to the front of the classroom, the door banging loudly behind him. The only thing off was that his hair no longer hung in greasy locks over his face, and that still annoyed him like nothing ever had. Not because he like his hair greasy, he always washed it the minute classes were over for the day, but it added to his mean, unapproachable persona, and now it was soft, healthy and manageable. He hated it. Likewise his skin, gone was the pale, sallow complexion, it still as glowed healthily as the day Lucy Grindelwald willed it to do so, now he was stuck with it whether he wanted it or not. The change in his skin he did not mind. But he decided the little chit would pay for it anyway.
At first Lucy wasn�t aware she was being singled out for the messiest jobs. She assumed that at some stage during the lesson, all the students would be set the task of cleaning rat spleens. It was only when she finished the whole tub and he told her to extract leech juice from a tank of live leeches that she realised he was picking her for some reason and wondered if he had caught wind of her and Pansy�s little altercation the other day. By the time she finished Lucy was a sticky mess, she stunk of a mixture of sour figs crossed with rotten meat, and something so disgusting she couldn�t put a name to it. The second years pulled faces whenever a draught happened to send the odour their way and Lucy was almost in tears by the time the lesson was over. Plus they all had three foot of parchment to write and hand in on Monday morning and because of the jobs Snape set her while the second years read, she didn�t even get the chance to read the pertaining chapters on the shrinking potion they would be making next lesson.
Severus may have been rather pleased with the result of his punishment, Lucy was not.

�Pooh, what the heck have you been swimming in?� Tracy asked when an angry faced Lucy entered the common room.
�Don�t ask, just stay out of my way until I get showered and scrub this yuck from me.� She growled, storming through the common room before anyone else could comment on the smell.
Feeling a hundred percent better after spending a good half hour beneath the spray, Lucy finally emerged from the shower, then dried, dressed and grabbed her schoolbag and backpack ready to head for the main gates to meet her gran. She called goodbye to a startled Blaize on her way out of the common room and hurried down the corridor.

She was supposed to go to Snape�s office first and inform him she was about to vacate the castle, and the temptation to just leave was strong. The trouble was, Snape and the headmaster were likely to contact her gran and she would be sent back to school and most like have the next few weekends home revoked.
�Come in.� Severus called when a knock sounded on his office door. �Miss Grindelwald, how can I help you?� He asked, not even looking up from the parchment he was reading.
�I�ve come to tell you I�m going home for the weekend. You said I had to report when I left and again when I return.�
�Ah yes. Tell me, how was your first week at Hogwarts, are you settling in, getting to know your fellow Slytherins?�

�Sometimes it�s okay, sometimes it�s not. I�ve made some friends.�

�Hmm. Mr Zabini seems rather� enamoured of you I noticed.�

�We get along. Daphne and Tracy are okay too.�

�And what about Mr Malfoy? Are the two of you on speaking terms?�
�Just, he�s persistent, but I don�t trust him. Is that all Sir, please can I go now? It�s just that gran will be waiting and I don�t want her to think I�m not in a hurry to see her.�
�Your grandmother is at present in the Headmasters office, most likely taking tea and reminiscing on old times. An elf will be dispatched to inform you when it is time to go. Meanwhile make use of the spare time to rearrange those textbooks on that shelf.� He looked at her, one eyebrow raised. �Unless you have something better to occupy your time.�
Sighing, Lucy placed her bags on the chair in front of his desk and set to removing the multitude of books that cluttered the shelf at the side of the office.
By the time an elf arrived, Lucy was covered in dust and she was not happy. �Nunc mundus.� (Now clean) She intoned, waving her wand over her head and removing the dust.
�The Headmaster taught you that I suppose.�

�Yes Sir he did. Just as well, I�ve lost count of the amount of showers I�ve needed to take today.�

�Professor, why did you make me do all the disgusting jobs in class today? No one else was made to do it.�
�I saw no point in the whole class being covered in leech juice and rats blood, and I did not hear you complaining.�

�Would it have made any difference if I did?�

�Of course, I would have been obliged to give you a detention for your impertinence.�
�There wouldn�t have been much point then would there. Bye Professor, and thanks for not letting me get too bored while I waited.�

�Cheeky chit.� Severus said when she left.
�Lucy hugged Hetty the moment she saw her in the main entrance. �Gran, I�ve missed you so much. Are you alright? Did the elf come? Is she looking after you? You haven�t sent her back have you?�
�I�ve missed you too dear, and yes I�m fine. Winky did arrive, she is driving me round the bend, and I cannot send her back because Albus told her to bind to me the moment she entered the house, so now I�m stuck with her whether I like it or not. Blasted thing wont let me lift a finger. Even Maxi is in love with the pesky creature. Now, is that it with the questions, I want to get home and find out what that blasted elf is meddling in now. Do you know she had the nerve to clean the cellar lab.� Hetty told her as they exited the school and walked towards the main gate.
Lucy fell in love with Winky as soon as she saw her. �Gran she�s adorable. Hello Winky, I�m Lucy, pleased to meet you.�

Winky was elated to finally have a new mistress. She stopped drinking butterbeer and sobbing into her skirts all the time, and like a good elf she cleaned, cooked, and waited on her mistress hand and foot. She knew about Lucy, having heard from the Hogwarts elf�s during the summer, but she was worried that the young mistress might not like her, Dobby said his young master was as cruel to him as the older master when he served the Malfoy�s. Now Winky considered herself the luckiest elf in the wizarding world when miss Lucy picked her up and hugged her. Even master Barty never hugged her.
Lucy was just happy her gran was no longer alone, she knew enough about elf�s to know it would not allow anyone to harm it�s mistress, and would make sure she was well looked after. She was even more happy at supper time when Winky served up Hetty�s preferred pie, mash and broccoli, and pizza and chips for Lucy.

�Winky you�re fantastic.� Lucy gushed, biting into the pepperoni and pineapple pizza.
Winky beamed at her before toddling back to the kitchen counter and retrieving a can of coca cola.
�Gran, did you tell Winky all my favourite foods?�

�No miss, Winky learns for herself when you is being at Hogwarts. Winky is bound to the Grindelwalds now, she knows what her mistresses are needing.�
�She knows too bloody much.� Hetty grumbled.
�Gran, you swore.� Lucy said, shocked. �You never swear.�
�Hmph, I�m learning, fast.�
�Oh come on gran, you�ve got to admit it�s nice to have someone to keep you company that knows what you want and like. Have you heard from Aunt Batilda, is she better now? When�s she coming to visit?�
�Batti�s much better, she promised to come for the Christmas holidays. Now, tell me about school, how was it?�
Lucy told her as much as she dared, sticking mostly to her lessons and Daphne and Tracy, but not mentioning Blaize at all. Hermione and the others still talk as well, not that my housemates like it much but that�s their problem.�
�Good for you. And what about your� urges, do you have them under control?�

Lucy felt the heat rising in her cheeks. �Gran please, not that again.�

Unperturbed, Hetty raised a questioning brow as she waited for a reply.
�Alright yes, kind of. There�s a boy in my year okay. That�s all I�m saying.�

�Not Malfoy I hope.�

�Definitely not Malfoy gran. We�ve kind of reached an agreement, but there�s no way I could trust him.�
�Fine. Fine.� Hetty said, waving a hand. �So long as you are remembering to use your discretion my girl.�
�Yes I�m using discretion, now please, can we drop the subject.�
After taking Maxi for a long walk over the hills, Lucy promised Hetty she would bring her homework up to date the next day,

then settled onto the sofa next to the older witch, both content to read quietly while Winky toddled in and out with pots of tea and cans of pop.
Lucy never realised how much she missed her own bed until she climbed between the covers and sunk into the mattress. �Heaven.� She whispered, drifting off to sleep.
After rising late next day, Lucy took Maxi for a walk, tucked into bacon butties provided by Winky, then retired to her room to catch up on her homework. Once that was done she decided now would be as good a time as any to see if she could upload some of the books from Hetty�s living room shelves. When she held onto the laptop and concentrated, her face lit up when the computer whirred into action, the screen flying through page after page of text. She was hard put to keep changing the flash drives in time, even though they were 8gigs. When she ran out, she went online to order more, then realised she would not be able to have them delivered here.
