Lyra and her friend, Hazel were walking around the hogwarts Library. Lyra had been teaching her about the Wizarding traditions.
The current topic was samhain and yule.
Samhain is a festival to welcome the harvest and usher in the Dark half of they year.
Fires in homes were left to burn out while they collected the harvest. After rhe harvest was gathered druids and muggers joined to light a fire. They sacrificed animals. People took the torches of the fire back to their homes to light the hearth.
The celebration was to last three days.
Yule is a pagan celebration of the winter solstice, which marks the longest night of the year and therefore the return of the sun. On this day, the earth's axis tilts away from the sun in the Northern Hemisphere and the sun reaches its greatest distance from the equatorial plane. Slowly but surely, the days start to get progressively longer.
the overall theme of Yule is about rebirth and renewal. Ultimately, this is a festival of the sun, so light is an important element. Flickering candles, bonfires, twinkle lights, and the traditional lighting of the tree all represent this celebration of the slow returning of the light.
When people celebrate Yule, they reflect on the year that has passed while looking forward to the year ahead.
Hazel's head was spinning. Lyra knew all this?
Hazel: I wish I could better comprehend this. I will review my notes and maybe soon I will take the material to heart.
Lyra: with time, practice, and patience you will exell.
Lyra:Now I have to go.
The last few weeks Lyra had been sneaking off to the forest to bond with Eclipse.
The bond has grown immensely Eclipse new what Lyra wanted before Lyra knew it. And they could feel each other's emotions.
Hazel had noticed and grew jealous, not of Lyra but of the bond she had with Eqlipse. She wished she had someone to share a bond like that with.
Ever since she saw how great they interacted with each other she longed for someone to understand her.
It wasn't very long after that that she had found her soul match.
Hazel: Can I come with you? I wish to study and map out the area.
Hazel was out in the forest exploring the land for animals and new terrain, as she did she graphed what she found on a map.
Lyra was practicing her spells. She had her wand out and was sitting against a tree. Every so often she would say
a spell under her breath and flick her wand and something would happen.
Then out of nowhere a burst of magic erupted from the forest: exactly where Hazel was. The other girl took off running towards her.
They came to find Hazel face to face with dire wolf. Lyra slowly walked towards Hazel, keeping her face to the dire wolf
Lyra: Hazel are you alright?
Hazel:I am fine I was walking through the forest hoping to find a new flower grove. When out of nowhere that wolf launched itself at me. And my magic responded trying to calm the wolf down.
The wolf growled at them again, making sure they knew he was present.
Lyra thought carefully, this dire wolf was a male. Males were often territorial but in most cases they wouldn't attack unless they thought you were a threat.
Lyra then realized that they had to be missing something. She looked around and noticed the male protecting a dead she-wolf. Under closer inspection she noticed a small cub.
She looked at Hazel and nodded at the cub. The cub was small and looked starved.
Hazel gasped in outrage, and the male growled again in warning.
Hazel allowed her magic to outreach and heal the small cub. The male turned and looked at her when the cub stopped whimpering
He seemed to understand she healed cub, and would protect his only living offspring. He grabbed his cub by the scruff and walked to Hazel.
Hazel knelt down to his level as Lyra watched in amazement. He put his cub in Hazel's lap and Hazel felt her magic reach out and sothe the animal.
Hazel had read on this subject so many times, she knew she found her forever animal.
Lyra: Congratulations, Hazel she is beautiful.What's her name?
Hazel: Fern, her name is Fern.
Hazel had found her familiar in a young dire-wolf cub.
Lyra didn't know how she didn't realize Hazels pet would be a wolf.
Familiars reflect yourself.
Lyra and Eclipse: Powerful, Regal, Elegant, Leaders.
Hazel and Fern: Loyal, Kind, Protective.
They were the perfect pair. Hazel called for a house elf to bring her a cup of warm milk in a baby bottle.
She nursed the young pup, and as it grew so did their bond.
The cub, slowly became a powerful she-wolf. She learned to hunt by watching the other wolves. When she hit 6 months she was already an adult by the laws of nature and could hunt by herself.
But Hazel and her had bonded for life. Hazel and her shared a bond closer to that of a dog and a human. It was a magical connection.
Faye knew when Hazel needed her and was always there to protect Hazel. However, as she was a wolf she remained in the forest for the rest of her life.
She found a mate in an Alpha male and was a very well treated wolf. She had a dozen cubs herself.
One of them Hazel's own son had bonded with at his days on hogwarts grounds.
It was clear that although Hazel was, at first, lonely she made a quick forever friend that would last her and her descendents to the end of their line.
