You... - Harry Potter Next Generation Fanfic

Chapter 15 - Protection!

Lyra's P.O.V.

"Mere?" I called into the studio of our carriage, believe me the thing is huge. Just then my mother ascended from the staircase at the far corner of the room.

"Darling I moved it to a classroom that Hogwarts is going to provide for us, come on now," my mother said. She had that look on her face. That 'we have to talk' look on her face. I walked with her as we went to the school. I always came early so that I could get some time with my mom. Technically she isn't allowed to be my professor but since my last name is registered as Belle, I am good. We exited the carriage and she was the first to speak.

"I can't say I like it when you fight Lyra-Belle, that boy did deserve it but it was highly inappropriate do you understand?"

I lowered my head in shame, great it's going be one of those talks.

"It's not lady-like and definitely not grown up. But you are only 15 and I do understand that what they were doing to Scorpius was...heart breaking and very much scary to watch, but you should call for a teacher next time." she said to me. Damn it she saw the whole thing. "I already spoke to Rita, her anger got the better of her and now she is fine but I needed her to understand what she did. What BOTH of you did, has caused that boy to be in the Hospital Wing of this school because he can't walk."  I had to suppress a giggle and a huge smirk. As we entered our empty classroom my mother turned to me and whispered.

"All the same I didn't teach you those moves for nothing," she said in a much happier tone and I had to laugh, my mother trusted us to use it when it's acceptable and damn right was is acceptable, no one saw us do it and those other slytherins didn't have the guts to rat us out.

"Now," my mum said as she sat down at a desk and sat in the chair across it, "I saw you walking and being very cuddly with a BOY...tell me his name, who is he?" my mother said in a very teenager-like tone and it's the reason I love her. We started warming up and I began telling her about my date!

"Sounds like James was being a gentleman than?" my mother said smiling, god it was so easy to talk to her, "Lyra darling now I have to be a mom and say this, don't trust this boy with too much you understand me? And no I don't mean secrets I mean with you." I don't understand, so I gave her a confused look. "Sometimes boys mean one thing and you understand something else, also sometimes they want something and you give it to them then they leave, do you understand?" I shook my head no. "Sweetheart I am trying to make this easy but you're killing me here." I couldn't help but laugh.

"Mother please just say it," I said as she was now rehearsing a routine as we were talking. I was in the middle of a spin that she was spotting me for.

"I mean keep your legs closed around this boy," she said making me stumble and fall in shock, she caught me and put me on the floor gently. I blushed brighter than when we had the "period" and "woman"  talk.

"I did say I was trying to make this conversation light didn't I?" she said smiling at my reaction. I couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment.

"Believe me mother, he'll be lucky if he sees me at the beach in a bikini, considering I only wear one suits, and" I said freezing, "thanks for trying on the whole uh...light conversation," I said making her laugh. She helped me up and I tried me spin again almost getting it right.

Could James want me for that? No. Could he? I was worried now, my mother is right, I kissed him and that's enough. Even that we shouldn't be doing very much, I don't want him getting the wrong idea.

Scorpius' P.O.V.

God I love Lyra and Rita, Joren has been in the hospital wing for over a week so I have had so much time to finish all my assignments without worrying I will run into them. I was reading in the library sitting on a large windowsill in a deserted section watching the rain begin to fall. Just then I got hit with a paper plane. Ow!

"What is this? No 'thanks Rita your awesome' or 'You rock Rita' or 'Thanks for saving my ass!' " said Rita, I laughed at her and made room so she could sit across from me.

"Well when you've been in those anger management sessions with my mother, I have tried but they said you would probably hurt me instead of hug me," I answered. She laughed at me and opened her arms for a big hug which I gave her. She was so sweet sometimes, she even smelled like it, then again this is Rita, Sugar Crazied Rita who has something sugary every day of her life.

"How's you neck?" she asked me. Her face full of concern, my sister is probably wondering the same thing and since the classes have officially begun no one's had time to see anyone and the schools have been pretty separated.

"It's fine, bruised so I can only eat certain foods but other than that it should be fine in a couple of weeks," I answered, it's not like I haven't gotten worse but I got to say this is new. It's reblackened itself but as usual I covered it up so no one has noticed.

"Hey Scor!" I heard Rose call from the book shelf across, she's probably going to her common room. She gestured me to go. I nodded and she waited.

"Now who's that Mister Scor?" Rita said in a flirtly tone, " I think someone has a girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend, she just likes it when she's not alone when she's walking to her common room, because of the Durmstrang guys, she's afraid." I said putting my things away.

"Yeah, she afraid and needs Scorpius' protection," she said mocking me, "Speaking of which I hope as hell that two USE protection, you hear me?"

I choked on air at.

 "But otherwise, I think you two make a very cute pairing," and with that she left as I went up to Rose and in a 100% friendly way, put my arm around her waist as we walked.

To be honest I think we'd look good together, too.
