As soon as Lyra heard the news she rushed to Remus' quarters to check on him, but most likely tell him the news she have heard from the third years.
She spend no time knocking, and Immediately opened the door, as she opened the door she found Remus still asleep, but his scars were visible.
Lyra stood at the edge of his bed, and sighed, she always hated it when Remus transforms, she dreads it when every morning Remus wakes up with new scars, she hates it, seeing him like that, Remus is like a second Father to her, and she's grateful for that.
With one last look at her peaceful Godfather, she gave him a kiss at his forehead before running off, forgetting why she was even there, and she went to her class which is Defence Against the Dark Arts, which was filled by Snape.
She entered their classroom, and saw George, she sat Beside his boyfriend and they waited for Snape.
"Heard Snape's taking the lessons today" George said, and put an arm around Lyra.
"Yeah, and seems like all the students have the same tasks" Fred butted in, looking at the two.
"Which is?" Lyra asked confused she heard about the third years task, and she heard nothing more.
"Where have you been, it's the talk, Snape's tasks are all about werewolves" George answered, Lyra was shocked Snape was trying to get Remus kicked out, Any minute, one of the Students would notice that all of Remus' symptoms, and absences inclined to the task Snape has given them.
"Hey Ly you ok?" George asked when he saw Lyra zoning out.
"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking" Lyra said and gave George one of her sweet smiles.
"If you say so" George said, and as if on cue, Snape walked into the room with a smirk on his face.
'I'll wipe that smirk out of your face when I reveal your secret Snivellus' Lyra thought rolling her eyes, Snivellus a name she usually heard her Godfather says, and she knows it's about Snape.
"Today we'll be learning about werewolves" Snape said looking at the faces of his students.
All of them were just looking at Snape curiously, but Lyra had a glare.
Snape neared Lyra, and whispered.
"Ms. Black If you wanna know something that happened in the past, might as well come to my office after dinner" Snape whispered and left, he left Lyra dumbfounded, not sure what she was going to reply.
"Wht did Snape said love?" George asked kissing her cheek.
"Looks like I got myself a detention" Lyra said, trying to sound as enthusiastic as ever.
"Well Love if he does anything to insult you remember I'm here" George said smiling at her, Lyra smiled and Kissed George.
"Thanks" She said and pulled away, and started to pay attention to what their so called Professor was teaching.

There Defence Against the Dark Arts class finished, and Lyra went to find Hermione, she went to their Common room and Hermione was there struggling with her homework.
"Mind if I join?" Lyra asked sitting in one of the armchairs close to Hermione.
"Finally you're here, I really need help with this" Hermione said, pointing at her homework.
"That's quite easy, you see you just need to explain every sign of a werewolf", Lyra said pointing at the obvious.
"I think I got it, you got the same homework didn't you?" Hermione asked, she heard about Snape giving them identical tasks.
"Yup, and this is going to be easy" Lyra said, smiling sadly.
For hours they were doing there Homework when Hermione noticed something, she took out a lunar calendar, and Lyra was looking at her curiously, Hermione checked every full moon, and figured it out, Professor Lupin's a werewolf.
'That couldn't be true, this is just a coincidence' Hermione said to herself, Lyra noticed that Hermione was thinking deep, so she sighed, it was time to tell someone about Remus' condition.
"I'm assuming you already know about Remus' condition?" Lyra said with a sigh, putting her quill and parchment down.
"Ly, tell me it isn't true? It can be a coincidence, right?" Hermione said looking at Lyra, Lyra looked down and fiddled with her fingers, and nodded.
Hermione's hands flew to her mouth, she was shocked how can a nice, sweet, and brilliant Professor be a monster once a month.
"How— When?" Hermione asked still in shock.
"As my Godfather told me, the story goes like this" She said ready to tell the story of the lonewolf.
"You see my Godfathers father was an Auror and he basically catches werewolves in that time since they believed that Voldemort's recruiting them, but his father wasn't that wise, one werewolf particularly Fenrir Greyback wanted revenge, One night he went to their house and went for Remus, when they went in it was too late, now once a month Remus turns into a monster, when he was at Hogwarts he was at the shrieking shack, and in the morning Madame Pomfrey would pick him up, along side with Professor McGonagall" Lyra said before taking a deep breath.
"But at his fifth or fourth year, he was joined by a stag, a dog, and a rat, namely Prongs, Padfoot, and Wormtail, you see they were friends, but he does have a name given by the three, Moony, but at time it's the lonewolf" Lyra said smiling sadly at the last part of the story.
"He got it rough back then" Hermione said looking down.
"But now Snape brews him Wolfsbane for his transformation every month" She said with a sigh.
"How is he? The full moon just passed" Hermione said looking at Lyra who breathed heavily.
"He's not fine I visited him this morning and new bruises are visible" Lyra said remembering the sight she saw earlier.
"He's Brilliant you know— Professor Lupin" Hermione said.
"Out of curiosity tho, have you seen him transform?" Hermione said looking at her.
"Thats a story for another day, but if you'd like to hear it, I'd be happy to tell it next time, and we've missed dinner" Lyra said heaving a laugh.
"I'll be off then see you tomorrow Hermione" Lyra said before going out to the portrait hole, and Straight to Snape's office.
