Nix found the news of Nearly Headless Nick being petrified rather concerning. So much so that he often refused to leave Lyra's dorm, which meant that he was not invading any lessons, much to Snape's pleasure.
"This thing has power over ghosts! That is bloody rude!"
A short while later, a notice was put up, it announced the Duelling Club. Run by Snape and Lockhart.
"We should go" Blaise announced as the group looked at the sign, a smile plastered across his face. Theo and Pansy hurriedly nodded in agreement,
"I'm going to wipe the floor with Potter" Draco announced, smirking maliciously as he clearly imagined the forthcoming duel. Daphne laughed as Draco spoke, a large smile across her lips.
"Sure you will mate" Theo clapped him on the back and Lyra laughed slightly as did the others.
"I will crush Potter" Draco folded his arms as they all walked off, "you'll see"
The Duelling Club was being hosted in the Great Hall, when the group entered the hall, they saw the tables had all been shoved to the side and there was now a large empty space in the middle of the room where a crowd was growing.
"Welcome welcome" Lockhart smiled broadly, Lyra groaned and watched Theo do the same. "Welcome to my little duelling club" Snape coughed slightly and Lockhart announced Snape was his assistant. They then demonstrated the disarming charm and Snape sent Lockhart flying across the room. The group burst into laughter at this, Lyra joined in.
"Split into partners and practice!" Lockhart announced, Draco smirked.
"I'm going to crush Potter" he stormed across the room to where Harry was stood, Lyra partnered with Pansy. Lyra easily disarmed Pansy, but the latter struggled to disarm her.
Lockhart then decided that everyone needed to learn to block unfriendly spells, and upon Snape's request, Draco and Harry were summoned to the front.
"Serpensortia!" Draco yelled and a long black snake flew out the edge of his wand, Lyra's eyes widened in shock. Lockhart attempted to get rid of the snake, but he only angered it and it started to slither toward Justin Flinch-Fletchley.
"Leave him" Harry called, and the snake slumped onto the floor. Everyone was staring shocked at Harry, some scared.
"He just..." Pansy whispered, Lyra stared at him confused.
"What do you think you're playing at!" Justin shouted before running out of the room, Lyra stared confused. Harry had much the same look on his face.
"What happened?" Lyra whispered,
"He was hissing at the snake!" Daphne told her, Lyra stared back confused. Harry hadn't hissed...... then it hit her. Harry was speaking parsletongue. Just like she could.
Harry was being rushed out of the Hall by Ron and Hermione, Lyra caught his gaze as he left, he was still confused.
"Who would've thought it!" Nix near shouted as Lyra told him what happened, they were talking and she'd put a silencing charm on the drapes of her bed so no one would hear them. "The astonishingly hot James Potter's son would be a parslemouth...." Lyra sighed,
"Would it be possible for you to talk about Potter without mentioning the fact you're in love with his dad?" Nix shook his head,
"Yeah nah it isn't possible" Lyra groaned and rolled her eyes slightly, "maybe mini James is the heir of Slytherin" Lyra laughed slightly,
"There is no way goody goody gryffindor Harry Potter is the Heir of Slytherin" she replied,
"Why not..?" Nix pouted, seeming highly offended that Lyra told him he was wrong,
