"DRACO!" alyra walked up to her brother angrily when she over heard him talking about buckbeak, "can you stop being a jerk for two seconds and just be a decent person for once!?"

"oh alyra!" he suddenly grinned but not any type of good one, he gave his sister a sort of smug look as she walked over to him, "father said i get to keep the hippogriffs head."

"that is just gross, are you serious?" she looked at him in disgust and disbelief

"i think i'll donate it." he then continued, which alyra rolled her eyes to, "to the gryffindor common room, that way your little boyfriend can still see it, ly."

"my what?" her face contorted up into confusion as he said that, "i don't-"

"ah, come to see the show?!" draco said suddenly, pushing his sister to the side slightly, and lyra turned around to see the trio walking over, hermione at the front looking angry and the boys trailing behind her trying to keep up

"you!" hermione snapped harshly, looking at draco, "you foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" hermione held her wand up against draco's neck and alyra shared a shocked look with both ron and harry as her hand came up to cover her mouth

"hermione, no!" she heard ron shout at the display in front of them, "he's not worth it."

hermione pulled her arm away from him, taking her wand down and draco began snickering at her, as if making fun of her for backing down, then she suddenly punched him straight in his face, making alyra gasp.

"malfoy, you okay?" one of his goons asked as they helped pull him up off the ground, "let's go!"

"have fun with your boyfriend, alyra!" draco yelled back at her looking towards harry. him yelling that phrase just made alyra even more angry, and she went to run after him but harry grabbed her by her waist and held her back

"no, let me at him!" she tried to pull away from him but it was no use, draco was already too far gone

"that felt good." hermione breathed out suddenly, talking about the punch she threw at draco

"not good— brilliant." ron looked at her in amazement

harry finally let go of alyra and she turned around to face hermione before saying, "i love my brother so much, i truly do but... that was a long time coming. he needed that to happen. as did everybody else."

"right then, let's go." ron said, leading them all as he began the journey down to hagrids hut. alyra made it her goal to not look at harry nearly as much as she usually did, she was trying to make herself act a lot more normal about all of this.

that didn't exactly go as planned however, as, while hagrid was talking to the other three about buckbeaks beheading, she was zoned out staring at the back of harry's head. ron and hermione both took notice of the sort of longing look in her eyes as she stared at him, it really was no secret between the group how harry and herself felt about each other. hell, even they both sort of could tell that the other night maybe feel the same way. when harry turned around, his eyes met hers and she immediately looked away, her face slightly red from the embarrassment.

"you'll do no such thing." she looked up when she was finally truly listening to hagrid talk, "think i want you seeing something like that? no, you just drink your tea and be off." he instructed to them before looking towards the red haired boy, "oh, before you do, ron..."

the large man opened up a little blue tin and pulled a little rat out from it and ron immediately stood to take him

"scabbers!" ron exclaimed in happiness as he grabbed his rat from hagrid, "youre alive."
