Lyra Malfoy

Chapter 5

It was the sound of thunder, Dudley's little friends started running around like scared little girls.

- What did you do Potter," Harry was super confused and the whole time I was telling him that I didn't know or that he hadn't done it.

I exploded and wanted to slap each of them, but I restrained myself and yelled at them.

-Potter looked at me with a frightened look on his face, "Please, let's go and take shelter in a better place.

-I don't take orders from a girl," and he started to run, "I'm leaving.

For Merlin I felt like killing him, but I followed him, I knew that if this boy wasn't safe, Potter wasn't going to be safe.

-I shouted for him to follow us, in his face there were doubts because he didn't know if he could trust me, I could see him in his thoughts too, but he had no choice but to follow us.

We ran as if our lives depended on it, I was in heels on top of everything, I was afraid of falling, but I kept going.

We came to a half narrow tunnel but that kept us dry from the rain.

As fear took hold of the three of us, I could hear Potter's heart pounding, I pulled him behind me but it was no use because a Dementor appeared on the ceiling and dragged Potter to the wall.

-DUDLEY, DUDLEY, GO AWAY," he shouted, Dudley couldn't escape, he was grabbed by the other dementor.

But I didn't stay still, with one of my spells a white light came out of my hands, that light was very pure and those beings of pure darkness left, the light cut all your eyes, leaving Potter half fainted on the floor but he made all his effort and grabbed his wand and hit the other remaining dementor.

Dudley completely passed out on the floor.

But I didn't care, I ran over to Potter and grabbed his face with both my hands.

-Potter, Potter, are you all right," he mumbled a little, and what came out of him he could, but I was desperate and shook him as best I could," the boy answered me clearly.

-I'm fine, I'm fine," he looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, he looked me straight in the eye and didn't take his eyes off me until I let go, "who are you? You have a face similar to someone I know but it can't be?

I came out of my trance again and the only thing that came out of me was

-I'm Sirius's friend, that's all you need to know right now Potter," I said keeping my cool and indifferent stance.

Then there was a groan from the other side of the tunnel. We turned around and there was Dudley lying on the ground.

Potter ran to the boy and I rushed to his side to see if I could help him.

-My uncles are going to kill me," Potter said desperately, "What am I going to do?

-I'm going to help you, I need you to grab him by the arms and I'll grab him by the legs, we'll carry him together ok?

He looked at me doubtful and distrustful, he was debating internally, if he had to trust me.

-Well, come on, let's carry him.

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

We arrived at Potter's house, this boy was so heavy, my back was already hurting from carrying him.

We went inside and it was already dark outside and from inside we could hear a lady calling Dudley.

-Dudley, darling, is that you?" the lady was surprised and scared by what she saw, "DUDLEY, SON, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, VERNON COME HERE!

She looked at me with a face like she was suspicious of me and wanted me away, I couldn't care less about her.

-What's going on..." she half-spoken and shouted angrily at Potter, "Are you happy now? Did you get what you wanted? I'm sick of your nonsense Potter," and he turned to look at me with a confused look on his face, "Who is this young lady? One of your weird friends from that school?

I looked serious, raised a threatening eyebrow and looked him straight in the eyes, which made him startle at the touch.

Then an owl came in with a letter in its mouth, making us all turn towards it. The owl fell down and suddenly the letter stood up, it started talking about Harry Potter being expelled from Hogwarts for using the Patronus Charm. That he was going to the trial tomorrow and that he could bring witnesses as to who was present at the time.

Vernon started laughing, making fun of Potter because he was getting what he deserved for Dudley.

I was tired of it all, so the only thing I could think of was to erase their memory of what happened a few hours ago and I did it and they passed out on the floor.

-What did you do?" said Potter in despair, I grabbed his shoulders and shook him to keep him calm.

As we walked out of the house while he chased after me, he was upset.

-Potter is waiting for you, come with me," he was serious, not looking me in the eye, but then he raised his head, "Potter I have to take you with me, with Sirius Black, please, take my hand.... Or else it's stay here and get locked up for what you supposedly did.

I was impatiently waiting for him to decide something, I had my hand dangling to transport us there. Then he grabbed my hand and suddenly we were transported to Black Manor.

He was about to vomit but I turned away so I wouldn't see if he was vomiting or not.

-I could tell you're not used to trips like this Potter," he didn't look up but I had heard him gasp to hold back the vomit and he said aha.

I grabbed a cane that I created a while ago, and with that I hit the ground twice.

Suddenly a house opened up between the houses in the middle.

Potter was as surprised as I was, but I didn't show it.

-Come on Potter, follow me," he then followed me all the way, I was right behind him. We entered a narrow hallway, with old walls and cobwebbed pictures, it was obvious that the house was many years old.

At one point Sirius Black's voice could be heard talking to other people in the room, he was staring at Harry and I stood behind him watching the moment.

But an older red-haired lady looked up, she was surprised to see us but she came up to us with a huge smile on her face.

-Harry," she said and closed the door where they were supposed to be having the meeting, "how are you dear? What a joy to see you! You're well?" she started to examine Potter, but then she turned to me and I had to put on my best smile instead of one of discomfort, "And you must be the girl that Sirius told us was coming, I'm sorry to inform you that dinner won't be ready until after the meeting," the older woman finished saying.

-Thank you, ma'am..." I said so that she would answer my question.

-Weasley, but you can call me Molly," she said with a big smile.

-Well, thank you Mrs. Weasley," I said and then I continued, "but I can't stay for dinner, it would be a bother for me, thank you very much really..." I couldn't finish because Mrs. Weasley started talking.

- Nonsense," she said, waving her hands, "you're not going out alone and without food at this hour, you're going to stay.

I was stunned, I could only nod, making it clear that I was going to stay.

Potter was looking me up and down with a half smile on his face.

I looked up into his eyes, those beautiful intense green eyes, they were looking at me too, with a blush on my cheeks.

The door was suddenly opened and there were murmurs from inside.

-Puppy," said Potter's animagus godfather and me.
