chapter nine

"BEAUTIFUL DAY." alyra looked away from stella and behind her when she heard hermiones voice, knowing harry would be there as well. the two girls had been sitting out on the steps just talking about whatever.

"okay alyra, there's definitely something going on with you and-" stela began when she saw the way her friend stared back at the trio, but lyra quickly shut her up as the three of them were in range to be able to hear the pair

"estella!" she exclaimed as a way to tell her to shut up, "you need to really learn how to keep your voice down sometimes."

"but do you like him?" stella asked again, and lyra could feel three other pairs of eyes on her as she groaned, putting her face in her hands

"does she like who?" hermione asked as the trio stopped next to them, shooting alyra a teasing glance as she picked her head up from her hands

"nobody, i like nobody." she said, but her gaze subconsciously landed on harry, making her curse herself in her head and put her head in her hands again, "oh, merlin." she whispered to herself and stella laughed at her

"wow you're in a beautiful mood today aren't you, alyra jane?" stella asked as she got up, earning a small glare from her friend

"do you ever stop? is there an off switch?" alyra asked, standing up with her, "and stop using my middle name in public settings estella rose."

"alyra jane?" harry questioned, and lyra looked his way and nodded sheepishly, "that's really beautiful." this brought a tiny smile to the girls face, "your name really fits you."

"it's a beautiful day outside." alyra suddenly changed the topic, not wanting to expose herself in a response to harry

"gorgeous. unless of course you've been ripped to peices." ron said angrily as he stared to walk off again, alyra gave hermione a confused look before her and harry followed him. alyra and stella weren't sure what to do until harry motioned towards alyra specifically to follow them, and so they hurriedly went after the trio

"ripped to peices?" harry questioned as stella and alyra shared a confused glance with one another while walking with the trio, "what are you talking about?"

"ronald has lost his rat." hermione rolled her eyes as she spoke

"i haven't lost anything." ron replied in annoyance, "your cat killed him."
"rubbish."

"harry, you've seen the way that bloodthirsty beast of hers is always lurking about." ron spat in response, drawing harry into the situation between himself and hermione, "and scabbers is gone."

"well maybe you should learn to take better care of your pets!" hermione replied back to him and alyra looked over and saw hermiones cat crookshanks and her own cat running around together and smiled a little

"you know, this one time, uh there was a rat in the manor." alyra spoke up suddenly with a story, "and well, venus, that's my cat by the way. well, she killed him, but not just cause he was in the house but since he was trespassing, maybe scabbers was trespassing or did something to crookshanks."

"she's got a good idea there." harry motioned towards her making the girl smile in response to him

"lyra, i'm gonna go find luna, you have fun okay?" stella said suddenly as she began walking off
"oh, alright, bye stel."
"bye."

"HOW DID IT GO hagrid?" hermione asked as the four of them watched as hagrid skipped large rocks in the water in front of him, "the hearing?"
