Many people believe no one can change, especially if they have the Dark Mark branded on their skin. Lyra Malfoy has never been a bad person, and was just trying to protect her older brother. She had a plan. Stay hidden, protect her brother, and don'...
Lyra counted in her head each of the movements as she danced with Theodore Nott. It was the day of the first ball and she was scared shitless.
"That's my foot." Theodore said and Lyra but her tongue.
"Sorry."
"I'm stepping in-"
Lyra was confused as Theodore stepped aside and she was now faced with brown eyes.
"Hey Lyra."
Lyra couldn't breathe. Ginny held her hand and out a hand on the slytherins waist and they started dancing. Lyra had a hand on Ginny's shoulder and she was mezmorized by the girls eyes.
"How's being a death eater?" Ginny muttered so low that no one else could hear.
"Great conversation starter Weasley." Lyra said and Ginny rolled her eyes.
"I'm simply asking a question." Ginny said and Lyra sighed.
"Your in the DA right?" Ginny nodded hesitantly. "I'm a death eater. We can't be friends."
"Why? Why can't we be friends?" Ginny asked with a glare and Lyra didn't answer. "Lyra."
"Because. It's forbidden. It always was." Ginny looked taken down and Lyra left the ball.
She didn't get too far though.
She was near the hufflepuff common room when a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a broom closet.
"Ah! I will fight you-" Lyra looked to see that it was just Neville Longbottom.
"What's going on with you and Ginny?" He asked raising his wand against Lyra's heart.
"Okay-I dont know what this means." Lyra said as she waved her hands around but Neville lightly smacked them away and held his wand up to her neck. "Okay this means threats, got it."
"Stay away from Ginny." Neville snarled. "She cares about you, but you-all you cause is trouble."
Lyra wanted to argue, but she couldn't. Neville was unfortunately right.
"You like her." Neville said as of now seeing something Lyra couldn't.
"Wha-no of course not!"
"You do." Neville said sadly but there was a faint smile on his lips. "She's better off without you-you know that right?"
"Yeah. I do know that." Lyra said quite annoyed at Neville.
