HEALED ➼ Remus Lupin

𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀

Lyra Potter walked along the corridors of Hogwarts. She smiled as she saw her brother. She walked over to him. "Not causing trouble are you?" She asked.

"Me? Never."

Lyra rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh. I don't believe you."

Harry smiled. He knew how Lyra was his older sister. And she had always looked out for him. She had saved him countless times. But he worried about her.

He knew how closed off she was at times. She never opened up. She had seen their parents being killed. She had managed to hide away. Even though she was only two years old. She hid.

"Lyra. You know you can talk to me," Harry said.

Lyra rolled her eyes. She smiled and nodded. "I know. I'm fine though. I don't need you panicking about me. Should be me panicking about you," she told him.

Harry shrugged. He watched as she walked off. Ron smiled. "You've got an awesome sister," he said.

Lyra walked along the corridor. She saw Remus Lupin and smiled. "How are you?" He asked as he looked to her.

Lyra shrugged. "I'm fine. I have to be. I have to keep an eye on Harry. To make sure he doesn't get himself killed," she told him.

Remus sighed. "I know you care about him. But who cares about you? I've noticed you don't eat much. You barely eat at all. That isn't healthy."

Lyra shrugged. "I'm okay. You don't need to worry about me. Just keep an eye on Harry," she said as she walked off.

Remus walked into the staffroom. He sighed. Minerva looked to him. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Lyra Potter. I'm worried about her. She doesn't seem to be eating. In fact since the start of term, I haven't seen her eating much at all."

Minerva frowned. She looked to him. "Come to think of it, I haven't. Severus, have you seen Lyra eating?"

"Not that I recall."

Minerva sighed and nodded. "I will talk to Poppy. She will need to have a conversation with Lyra. And tell her about the damage this will do to her."

****

Lyra had been called into the hospital wing. She frowned as she saw Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall there along with Madam Pomfrey. "What's going on?" She asked as she looked to them.

"Sit down Miss Potter."

Lyra rolled her eyes but sat down. She sighed. "What's this all about? I have to keep an eye on Harry."

"We've had a concern raised. That you haven't been eating much. You are an intelligent witch. You know the damage that this can do," Poppy said.

"Let me guess. Professor Lupin mentioned this? Well I told him. And now I'm telling you all now, I am fine. I don't need this intervention. Or whatever you're calling it. Now if you don't mind, I have homework to complete," she said as she went to walk out.

Severus stopped her. She rolled her eyes. "Really? You're going to stop me?" She said.

"Sit. Down."

Lyra scoffed. She turned to see Minerva looking at her. Concern on her face. "I'm fine. I don't know why Professor Lupin said I'm not eating. I am. I'm completely fine," she said.

"Lyra. You're underweight. Do you not realise what damage can occur if you don't eat."

Lyra rolled her eyes. She waited for Severus to be out of the way when she ran.

****

Remus was in his classroom when the door opened. Lyra walked in. "How dare you go to the other professors and tell them I'm not eating?! I am not your fucking concern. Just back off."

"Lyra-."

"Save it. I do not need anyone looking out for me. I am fine. Oh. If Snape of McGonagall come in here, you haven't seen me," Lyra said.

Remus watched as she walked off. But could Remus be the one to heal Lyra Potter from the demons she was fighting.
