RP: The Worst Thing
Characters: Lucy Montgomery, Patrick MacDonald Date: Mid-October 1999 Summary: Lucy gets some bad news, and then has to tell Patrick. Then she gets more bad news. Ish.
Today was officially the worst day of her life.
She and Patrick had gotten a little more daring lately, especially since the first time they'd made love (which had been the most amazing thing that had ever happened to Lucy, even though it had hurt like hell, because it had been Patrick)- unfortunately, that had also been the only time. Because last week, when they'd been up in the Astronomy Tower snogging and hoping that they would get to be together again, they'd been caught. By Professor Aubrey, the DADA professor. Which was incredibly embarrassing, especially since her shirt had been off and Patrick's mouth had been in a less-than-appropriate place.
And that jerk had owled her parents. With whom she'd had to meet today, in Professor McGonagall's office, along with the Headmistress herself. Her parents hadn't wasted any time in informing her that she was no longer allowed to see Patrick, or even speak to him, and that they would be enlisting her Professors' help in making sure that she followed their rules. They weren't swayed by her tears, nor her promises that she and Patrick would behave themselves from now on. They wouldn't change their minds.
So now she was on her way back to Gryffindor Tower to sob her eyes out, because more than being her boyfriend, Patrick had been her best friend for over six years and she was already acutely feeling the loss as a huge hole within her. And it would only get worse.
