slytherin princess

chapter seventeen

Lyra's eyes widened, Luna Greyback was in her house.

Luna Greyback who hated her.

Luna Greyback who was cruel to her because Cedric liked her.

Luna Greyback who spent the entire year calling her a slut because Cedric liked her.

Luna Greyback who had been hurt so badly that she felt the need to act out against others.

Luna Greyback who was forced to act a certain way.

And now she knew why. The man she was with was gripping onto her, and she looked rather fearful of him. But once Luna saw her, her face fell and Lyra unwillingly glared.

It also hit her why Luna was here. The marriage contract. Draco and Luna were going to find out that they were to be married.

Lucius and Narcissa stepped aside to talk to the man Luna was with. She guessed he was Luna's father, even though the two looked nothing alike.

"How dare they let that ginger freak in here" Draco mumbled, "and don't go defending her because she's friends with your stupid boyfriend" Draco added to her, "I mean look at her! She's still hideous in a dress. I pity any man who has to be with her. Disgusting. This mansion is for noble wizards, not freaks" Lyra was having to resist the urge to punch Draco, she may not like Luna that much but she really liked Cedric. And Cedric loved Luna, as a friend, so she thought she should try to be nicer to her, even though she knew this kindness would not be returned.

The adults then came back over and Lucius spoke,

"As per the contract made in January 1967 and then again in August 1976, on the 5th June 1980,  Draco you will be marrying Luna Greyback"

Everyone's eyes widened. Lyra looked down, she'd hoped she was wrong. Draco looked horrified, Luna was angry. Everyone's voices overlapped as they spoke.

"I'm not marrying him! I would rather die than marry that horrible inbred freak" Luna shouted, her anger and rage evident.

"Yes father, whatever you say Father." Draco sighed, looking to the floor under his parents gaze.

"Luna, are yo-" Lyra started to ask but the shout of a curse stopped her. Lucius was pointing his wand at Luna and she was shaking on the ground in pain. Her eyes widened in horror. "Stop it!" She screamed and all the adults in the room turned to look at her, "I said stop it!" Anger clear in her voice, and Lucius stopped.

"You will not call my son that. You will do as the contract says. Greyback, control your daughter better" Lucius snarled and Lyra watched as Luna was dragged away, she barely seemed conscious. Lucius then turned to her, "How dare you embarrass me like that!" He shouted at her, but Nix was back at her side.

"Don't you remember who her daddy is? That's why you stopped right? Her daddy is the big bad dark lord and you're all still scared, even though he's dead" Lucius sighed,

"Go to your room Lyra. And as punishment you'll be coming to work with me tomorrow, I need paperwork looked at" Lyra nodded and walked off, Nix following at her side.

"Thanks Uncle Nix, that could've gone a whole lot worse" he nodded at her,

"I know you hate the man, but maybe you should pull the daughter of mouldy Voldy card more often, it makes people listen" Lyra laughed slightly and shook her head,

"No thanks, I don't want to ever think about that man again"

The next morning, Lyra was woken up by Nix at a ridiculously early hour because apparently Lucius said they needed to leave within the hour.
