Lyra Malfoy

Chapter 3

I went to my room, I didn't want to hear anything more, from anyone, no deals, no war, nothing at all, I was sick of it all, I wanted to stop pretending that she was fine, that she was actually depressed.

The only people who got her out of those moments were her brother, Pansy, Theo, Blaise and the Grengrass sisters. She hadn't seen them for a long time, she missed them so much, since they were kids they shared everything together, they were raised as siblings obviously, but then came with it the pureblood marriage contracts that were made to them since they were kids. Draco is engaged to Astoria, the younger sister of the grengrasses, and I to Blaise. I never saw him as a husband or anything more than friends, I always saw him as my brother, who always makes inopportune jokes and who is overprotective, to top it off he is in love with Pansy, she will never give him any other way, she always had an attraction to Draco, but she will never accept him. I don't think either of us will end up together, we're like brothers who don't share a surname, well obviously apart from Draco and me.

I was about to go put on my pyjamas to rest from this busy day, when I heard someone shouting at me from somewhere unknown, I didn't see anyone, until I looked down at the fire. There was the face of a man trying to get my attention, to get me to come closer to him. The only thing I did was to walk to where he was, I was walking at a slow pace, making sure he didn't do anything strange.

-Lyra, goddaughter, how are you?" said my godfather, Sirius Black, "Don't be scared, you never saw me alone as a baby, but I'm sure you saw my beautiful face in the newspapers...

I rolled my eyes, I couldn't believe how much ego this man, who is supposed to be my godfather, had.

-Yes, in the papers they say that you helped "he who cannot be named" to kill Harry Potter's parents and that you're running around, without anyone knowing who you are.

-Well, I'm in the paper after all," said Sirius, trying to make me laugh, but he was trying to make it not so serious, "That's not the point, I never betrayed my godson's parents...

Sirius looked sad, but I made a gesture with my hands so that we could get to the point and I could go to sleep.

-Black, please, that's not an issue now whether I believe you or not, I want you to tell me why you called me now and at Malfoy Manor," Lyra didn't want to fall into getting attached and talking about the past.

-You know that we are on the same side now and that soon the order of the phoenix will exist again," I nodded to her to keep her talking, "Harry is very precious to all of us, we need you to protect him, so that he doesn't fall into darkness..." I didn't understand what she meant.

I didn't understand what he meant by falling into the darkness, my head understood the situation less and less.

As if Sirius read my thoughts, he answers all my doubts.

-He is with that scar, that was the one that made him famous, Voldemort gave it to him because Lily got between the spell and Harry and made it bounce back to Voldemort, the power of Lily's love made him survive, somehow from there they are connected," I had heard that story before, Tomorrow I need you to come to my house, but I need you to bring Harry, the Dursleys can't find out- I was with a straight face, I had completely forgotten what Dumbledore had told me about protecting Potter.

-Tomorrow evening wait for me and I will bring Potter back safe and sound," I said firmly.

-Thank you Lyra, I hope we can get to know each other better," and from there he left, leaving Lyra with her head exploding and uneasy.

She stayed on the floor for a long moment trying to figure out what the hell she was doing, why she thought she was the saviour if she was going to be the villain for so many...
