Lyra Malfoy

Chapter 4

After I fell asleep, the girls slept in the guest rooms and the boys slept in other guest rooms.

I woke up because Pansy was madly looking in my wardrobe for clothes for me to wear today, while the sun was just coming up.

Astoria was with her deciding and Daphne was looking at the make-up she had brought to fix me up.

-I felt like dying at that moment, I love them so much but I don't feel like getting up.

-I don't want to, Astoria," I said putting the pillow on my face.

-Malfoy, if you don't get up right now I'm going to call the boys to get you out of bed," said Pansy, I'm not afraid of boys so I tried to continue sleeping peacefully.

-Pansy was annoyed by the voice, then I heard some footsteps near me, but I was about to fall asleep again, when some big arms grabbed me tight and took me like a bag of potatoes.

-Theo was ignoring me, because he was already carrying me to the bathroom, where the shower was on.

Theo was trying not to laugh, as were Draco and Blaise but I just looked at them with a face like I'm going to kill them.

-Drama runs in the family," said Astoria trying not to laugh.

-We're going to wait for you until you're done so we can help you with your clothes and make up, ok," said Daphne trying to close the door.

I didn't answer I was so tired that I didn't want to fight anymore.

I took a quick shower and went out with a towel covering my naked body.

The guys obviously left so we could be alone more and they wouldn't see me naked.

-Now," said Pansy with a big smile on her mouth and with her hands she was holding the clothes she was going to wear, "I chose what I liked, you have to be more beautiful now we are going out, so we can spend the whole day together and catch up on everything.

I stood still, because I didn't know how to tell them that today I was going to have a meeting with my godfather that I had never seen in person and my brother's number one enemy that I have to protect.

While I was changing in my dressing room and I had already finished putting on all my clothes, I went out and waited for them to see me so that I could tell them that I wasn't going to be with them all day.

-You look beautiful," said Daphne, who was wearing a short navy blue dress with long sleeves but no sleeves that didn't fit her arms.

Pansy, as usual, was wearing something black and green, a short skirt with short sleeves and a black turtleneck t-shirt.

Astoria was wearing shorts but with a long, wide grey skirt with a black corset and a grey jacket of the same colour as the skirt.

Then there's me in all black, black dress above the knees, high boots and long black stockings, with a very long emerald green jacket.

-I'm not going to be able to be with you all day today until noon, I have something important today," they all turned around as if I was someone they were going to kill.

-If you're going to leave us for a boy, I won't let you, LYRA," said Pansy.

Pansy would never leave you for a boy, but it's something I already promised and swore I would do.

I hate lying and not being able to tell them, I hope they realise it someday, I hope it's quick.

-It's okay, we can spend the morning together and then I'll see you tomorrow to pick up the stuff for Hogwarts," said Daphne smiling sweetly.

I still don't know how Daphne ended up in Slytherin, but sometimes she shows what she was taught, but she has a strong character when she wants to.

-I'm sorry Lyra, I'm nervous, it's been a long time since we've all been out together and..." said Pansy about to cry.

I turned to her, I told her that it's OK, that we're still going to have nicer moments together.

And from there with the girls we went downstairs to the living room to wait for the boys.

-Until the boys show up," said Astoria, who was already falling asleep from waiting so long.

-Even we don't take that long to get ready," I said with a typical Malfoy smile.

-Are you going to keep complaining or are we leaving?" said Draco with a serious face and went and grabbed Astoria's arm.

We were all shocked at such a sudden attitude, just as Astoria was more or less screaming for help with her face.

But we ended up leaving and used the fireplace to transport us.

----------------------------------------------------------

We were already back from lunch and it was 4:30 and I had to be in the muggle world by 17:15.

Sirius had sent me a letter with the timetable and instructions.

-Draco," I called out to my brother, "I won't be there for lunch tonight, don't wait for me.

-Lyra, what are you talking about?

I interrupted him so he would listen to me because if he didn't I wouldn't be able to finish this anymore.

-Draco, I'm asking you to do something, just cover for me for a few hours," he looked at me seriously, but nodded his head as if he was going to do it.

-But whatever you need, whatever it is, call me like we learned together.

I knew what he meant, when we want to, our minds are connected and that's how we communicate.

I grabbed a jacket that had a hood to hide well in case something happened, at least it covers my face.

-I waved goodbye with my hand and left.

I transported myself out of the Mansion and shouted "DURSLEY HOUSE".

Luckily I didn't see Lucius all day, but I looked for Cissy and never found her.

I suddenly appeared outside a two-storey house, with a lot of houses around, suddenly someone came out and I hid behind some bushes, it was a big and chubby boy, he was with a lot of his friends and they were leaving the house all together, they said they were going to go to a park.

-I don't want Potter to come with us, Mother," the boy said angrily to the lady.

-Dudley, I need to be alone without Potter's scum and his weirdness for a few minutes, dear," said the lady, who was too nervous and tense.

Suddenly the man who called himself Dudley couldn't go on talking, because behind the lady came a boy.

From metres away you knew who he was, the mark on his forehead made him twice as recognisable, he was less tall than the chubby boy, with a well defined face, high cheekbones and short, dark brown hair, green eyes so similar to his mother...

I came out of my trance when I saw that they were already going to the other side of where I was hiding.

I waited for the lady to return to her house so I could follow them, I preferred to stay far enough away so they wouldn't get suspicious.

I stayed behind some trees waiting for them all to leave so I could take Potter with me but luck was not on my side, the sky started to darken, I could hear Dudley and Potter fighting.

I saw how Potter took out his wand and was pointing it at Dudley, everyone was making fun of him, but I knew that if anything happened it would all go to shit.

I came out of my hiding place, I walked over to them.

-Potter," I said loudly so he would hear me and not make any mistakes, "put the wand down now!

Don't do something you might regret later.

He looked at me with confusion on his face which I obviously understood, he had the hood up and he didn't even know who I was.

So I did what I had to do, I pulled my hood down. He was petrified, maybe because of the resemblance between Draco and me. But suddenly we heard some strange noises...
