HEALED ➼ Remus Lupin

𝟱. "𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲"

Lyra knew how things had been getting on top of her. All the teachers were on her back about her not eating and she hated it.

She hated the mess of it all. She hated how it was. Lyra knew that she was fine. She knew that she didn't need anyone concern.

Lyra sat in her dorm. She looked to the pills and picked them up and sighed. She knew how her head was a mess.

She knew it wasn't easy. And she knew how she was buying the pills from the Weasley twins. She knew how everything was getting too much.

Lyra walked down to the great hall. She saw Remus. "Oh. Morning."

Remus looked to her and smiled. "I wanted to see how you are doing. I haven't come to have a go. I know that everyone is on your back about things. And I know it's not easy. But you are a good kid. And I knew your parents. I know that they wouldn't want this for you," he said.

Lyra smiled. "I am not doing this on purpose. I'm the other Potter. It's all I'm known for. And something happened to me. Which I haven't dealt with it. So it's all hard," she told him.

Remus looked to her and smiled. "I get it. I know it's not easy. But I am here if you ever want to talk about it. You're not alone," he said as Lyra looked to him and smiled.

She knew it wasn't easy.

Lyra sat in the common room. She looked to see Sierra as she walked in. She looked to her. "Are you still using?" Sierra asked.

Lyra looked to her best friend. She saw the look on her face. "Has anyone told you just how much like your mother that you are?" She asked.

Sierra sighed. "So that's a yes. I am going to kill those Weasley's. Especially that Fred. Ly, you're my best friend. I know what my father did to you. And I should kill him for it. But I love you. And I don't want you to kill yourself by taking these dodgy drugs," she said.

Lyra looked to her and smiled. "I know. I am trying my best. I know how things are. But I am okay. I will be okay," she said as Sierra looked to her and smiled.

Sierra knew how worried about Lyra she was.

Lyra sat on the great hall as she looked to the plate of food in front of her. She knew how she had to eat.

But she knew how she felt. She knew how she felt empty. And she felt as if she was nothing. She knew it wasn't easy.

Lyra stood up and walked out of the great hall. She looked to see Sierra who was arguing with Fred Weasley. She rolled her eyes as she looked to her best friend.

She walked around the corner. She frowned as she saw Narcissa as the two of them held a look.

"What are you doing here?" Lyra asked.

"Charming. I came to see how my goddaughter is doing. And my daughter has been getting into trouble. I think it's time we talk don't you?" Narcissa said as Lyra sighed.

She knew that she wasn't looking forward to this conversation.
