Lyra Malfoy

Chapter 14

I was waiting for Potter outside Umbridge's office, I didn't know why, I wanted to see how he was....

Silly me, I have nothing to worry about, for Merlin's sake Lyra!

That's it I can't be sorry I'm out here I hope no one sees me out here otherwise they'll think anything.

I saw the boy who lived through the door of the office come out, touching his hand as if he was annoyed.

-Potter," I said loud enough for him to hear, he turned to look at me, he looked confused. When he was close enough I grabbed him by his tie and pulled him closer to come to my hiding place.

-What are you doing here Lyra," he said nervous at the proximity.

I stepped back a little so we could each have some personal space.

I coughed a little as if clearing my throat to speak.

-I'm here to see how you're doing," he said sincerely and looking to the side seriously, "I didn't know if you were going to make it out alive after being with that toad face.

-Yeah, well after writing something several times I got tired," he said trying to make a joke, but I didn't laugh, I saw his hand, he wanted to hide it but I had already noticed.

-What happened to you," I said looking into his eyes seriously, he didn't know what to say, he opened and closed his mouth, "give me your hand Potter," I said more serious than before, I was going to kill Umbridge, "you have to report this, it's not a form of punishment.

-They won't believe me," he said angrily, he was staring at the floor and clenching his jaw tightly, "they don't believe that Voldemort killed Cedric after all....

-They don't believe it Potter for fear of that happening..." I said as I healed his hand with my magic, there were letters that couldn't even be understood but it was the most horrible way to torture him, "Fear is the worst enemy Potter, it makes people do anything. They didn't see what you saw and lived, I was looking into his eyes and he was also looking into mine, I could tell he was surprised by what I said, I just lowered my head while I kept looking at his hand. It was already healed and thanks to me.

-Don't tell anyone Lyra, please," I looked back at him and nodded my head.

-I have to go," I said pulling my gaze from his, I was just leaving but I turned around, "Potter, try to stay out of trouble.

And I continued on my way to Dumbledore's office.

I got to the office carrying myself, I didn't feel like walking any further.

I was wandering around the office, looking at everything, it's amazing how old some things are...

-To what do I owe the pleasure this time Miss Lyra," said a voice behind my back, I turned around with a sly smile and my posture was that of an aristocrat. I was not startled by his sudden appearance, it was normal for Dumbledore.

-Hello Professor Dumbledore," I said smiling all the while, he walked over to his desk to sit down, "I came to bring you news.

-I hope it's good news, miss," he said with a slight smile on his face.

-I came to tell you that my brother, Parkinson, Zabinni, Nott and the Greengrass sisters have joined the order of the phoenix," I said sighing as he looked at me with a happy face, "from now on they are going to try to get along with each other with respect if nothing else.

-I raised my eyebrows and then lowered them again as if to emphasise that I was tired - I imagine it wasn't just to warn me about that that you came to see me.
