*** The next morning Lyra had quidditch practice. So she forced herself to wake up and got ready. As she walked down to the quidditch pitch, she noticed Regulus was the only one there. Confused, she went over to him and asked, "why are you the only one here, Reggie?"
Regulus look at her, "Zac told us we have to go through our plan again." He rolled his eyes.
"What?! We went through those last year!" Lyra complained.
"I know but some new chaser joined in the quidditch trials a few days ago. Anyway, he told me to wait here to tell you."
Lyra nodded and went to their quidditch tent with Regulus. As they entered the tent, Lyra noticed a boy with raven black hair in front of the rest of the team. She could tell Zac was waiting for them.
Their keeper and captain for quidditch were Zac Wixx. He was a seventh-year student. A chaser named Alex Pierce was chatting to a second-year student, who Lyra assumed to be the new chaser. The other chaser they had last year graduated. She took notice of the two beaters, Ben Crabbe and Barty Crouch Jr. Regulus is currently the seeker, while Lyra is the third chaser. (A/n I am not sure if Barty was in the quidditch team but let's just pretend he is. I am so bad at making names so ya, I tried).
"Ah, Black and-um Black, you're finally here," Zac said as they both sat down, "this is Hazel Bell by the way." He pointed at the second-year girl.
Lyra sat next to Alex.
After Zac finished talking about their plan, they started to practice quidditch. ( a/n: I am not describing a quidditch game). Once quidditch practice was over, Lyra got changed and started walking down to the castle.
Lyra walked to her ancient runes class after breakfast. As she arrived, everyone had taken a seat. Only one seat remained, one next to a boy with sandy brown hair.
"Ah, now that everyone is here let's start the lesson," said the professor.
"Hi," Remus greeted. Lyra noticed how tired and sick he looked with all those scars on his face. She always wondered where he got those from. Every month he always disappears, Lyra had noticed. But why?
"I am not in the mood to talk so just leave me alone, Lupin," Lyra remarked, turning aside to hear the professor speak. Remus also turned aside with an offended expression.
"...now I want you to write the name of the person sitting next to you in runes using the help of your books," the Professor explained.
As soon as the Professor said that, lots of students started chattering away. Lyra turned to Remus, "so, let us start shall we?"
Remus nodded, "how are you?" He took a quill and started writing down Lyra's name in runes.
"Why do you care about me so much?" She said in frustration.
"I am just asking," Remus said.
"Well don't ask," Lyra suggested and started writing on her parchment.
Remus wanted to shout at her, but he couldn't, so he continued calmly, "can't you be a bit nicer?"
Lyra narrowed her eyes at him, "what do you mean?"
"I mean what I mean. Is there anything bothering you?"
Yes, a lot is bothering me. The fact that Sirius left me is bothering me. Regulus is not eating much lately, I'm worried for him. Oh and also my parents might make me a death eater soon but I don't want to be one.
Lyra wanted to tell him. She suddenly felt good that someone at least asked her. Even her friend, Estella didn't dare to ask her because she knew that Lyra wouldn't tell her. And she wouldn't tell Remus either. She couldn't tell him everything.
"I am fine," she cleared her throat.
Remus could tell she was not okay. "Wait a minute," he was scurrying through his bag while the brunette girl raised an eyebrow. He finally took his hand out which revealed a scrumptious bar of chocolate.
"Here, have all of it, I honestly don't care," he offered her the piece of chocolate which made her eyes light up as she took it from him. Remus chuckled as he watched her eat it in less than five minutes. Luckily the Professor did not notice.
***
"How was Ancient Runes?" Asked the blonde-haired girl. The two Slytherin girls sat in their usual spot in the courtyard, in front of their favourite tree. Yes, they have a favourite tree, don't judge. It is very normal.
The first thing that came into Lyra's mind was, "yummy."
"What do you mean by 'yummy' ?" Estella raised an eyebrow.
"I mean Lupin, the Gryffindor kid, gave me some chocolate during class," explained Lyra.
"Lucky," Estella pouted as she extended the 'ee' sound at the end of the word.
