HEALED ➼ Remus Lupin

𝟮. 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝗳𝗳

Somehow Lyra was trying to avoid McGonagall and Snape. She knew they were both after her to get her to get help. But she didn't need help. She was adamant she was fine.

Lyra knew how all of this had happened because of Remus Lupin. And how he had told them that he had barely seen her eating.

Lyra knew that she didn't want anyone to know. She knew how she had to look out for Harry.

Lyra walked into the great hall that morning and sat down at the very end. She wanted to be seen there. But she wasn't actually going to eat anything.

She smiled as Fred sat down next to her. "Lyra Potter. Our favourite red head."

"Have you got any?" Lyra asked as she looked to him.

Fred nodded. "Yeah. Meet me later and I'll give it you," he said as he stood up and walked further down to sit with George.

Lyra sat there and sighed. She felt a pair of eyes on her so she turned to see Remus looking at her. She rolled her eyes and walked off.

Lyra was sitting in the library. "I saw you didn't eat anything this morning."

"Professor Lupin. Leave me alone please. My eating habits are none of your concern. Please," she said.

Remus sat down with her. He sighed. "Lyra. Your father was my best friend. I made a promise that I would look out for you."

Lyra rolled her eyes as she looked to him. "Look, I am fine. Okay? And if anyone should be concerned, it should be Snape. As he is my head of house. Yet I don't see him fussing over me. Therefore I must be fine," she said as she stood up and walked off.

Lyra was annoyed. She was annoyed over how everyone was interfering in her life.

She knew how no one seemed to pay attention to her before hand. And so  she didn't know why they suddenly cared.

Everyone normally cared about Harry. And as much as she loved Harry, she wasn't him.

Lyra walked into the common room. She smiled as she saw Sierra who looked to her and frowned.  "You look how I feel. Are you okay?" Sierra asked.

Lyra sat on the couch across from her. She sighed.  "You could say that. People just don't know when to mind their own business, you know. I may be Harry Potter's sister. But why can't they leave me alone?" She said as she took a sip of the water next to her.

Sierra smiled. "Try being Draco Malfoy's twin. Everyone thinks I am dangerous. That's why I have no friends. Because of my powers," Sierra said.

Lyra looked to her and frowned. "You do. I am your friend. I don't care if you're a siren. I know that you're a good person. I know that you're worried over your powers and that. But you know it will be okay," she said.

Sierra shrugged and smiled. "I hope so. My mother just warned me to be careful. And whatever gear you're getting from those filthy Weasley's, be careful. I don't trust them for it not to fuck you up," She told her. 

Lyra rolled her eyes "And that's the Malfoy in you."

"Fuck off. The Weasley's are blood traitors. I don't trust them. Just promise me you'll try and eat. And I'll promise I won't curse someone this week," Sierra said as Lyra smiled.

She knew how Sierra was the only one who knew about her real problems. And she never judged her.

"Fine. I fucking hate you sometimes," Lyra said as she threw a cushion.

"Bitch you love me," Sierra said with a roll of her eyes.

Lyra walked out of the Great Hall. She had eaten a little like she promised Sierra. It was enough to stop her fainting. She knew her limits.

Lyra saw Fred as he walked over to her. He handed her what she wanted.  "Call it free. Keep that siren witch away from me," he said. 

Lyra looked to him. She rolled her eyes. "She's not as bad as she seems. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two had chemistry. She may be a siren. But she doesn't use her powers on people," she told him.

Fred shrugged. "She's a Malfoy. She's a bitch who is not to be trusted," he said as he walked off.

Lyra hidden the package inside of her robes. She walked down the hall as she saw Remus.

The two of them held a look for a moment before she walked off. She knew how she was trying to keep him from finding out her secrets.

But could she really continue to shut people out? Knowing the dark path she was heading down.
