The Curious Case of Lyra Black

Prelude

"Mummy!" Lyra screamed!

"Daddy will take care of you sweetie just get out of here!" her mom screamed.

"Sweetie I'll come back for you I promise!" Sirius said one last time before kissing her cheek and appariting with Lyra in his hands.

Tonight was a nightmare Lyra was too young to understand what was going on, her mom and dad rushed as they tried to get away from her Aunt Bellatrix. Why would she be running? Her aunt and almost nearly every single family member were part of the Death Eaters. Her father was a part of the Order and best friend at the time Potters were being tracked down along with us.

"Lyra listen to me stay here I'm gonna go get mommy, your uncle is gonna sit here and watch you until I get back okay?" Sirius looked at her with such a stern look she had never seen her dad use before unless talking to her cousin Nymphadora.

Lyra turned around and saw her Uncle Tonks and ran to hug him, she looked around after seeing uncle Tonks and saw her older cousin Nymphadora or Dora for short. Dora was only 8 at the time, Lyra ran right up to her and hugged her and started to cry saying she was never gonna see her dad again. The dark lord was looking for anyone and everyone that apposed him, but finding out the safest place was in the muggle world changed a lot there were less deaths in the muggle world than in the wizarding worlds. Lyra stayed there and cried for an hour until her mom and dad showed back up, battered and beaten.

Lyra ran to her mom and dad's side, she sat next to them crying. Her mom had been injured much more than her father as she started crying her tears would fall on her mom and dad. Normally tears like that would sting falling on a wound but Lyra was different, each tear would heal a wound. Uncle tonks rushed over to help the two accidentally knocking over Lyra, at that moment Sirius turned into Padfoot and laid next to her. His wife on the other, started to cough up blood.

"Sirius we need to take her to the hospital! If we don't she won't make it!" Uncle tonks exclaimed.

Sirius changed back into himself and exclaimed, "The only hospital we can take her to is saint mungo!"

"I'll take her, you stay here with Nymphadora and Lyra, Sirius, Lyra needs one of her parents here Nymphadora will be a good child while I'm gone her mother, Andromeda is in the other room cooking supper also I'm sorry to tell you this Sirius but you remember the Potter's ugly muggle in-laws are a few blocks down don't do anything rash to them while I'm gone."

Ted Tonk picked up Lyra's mom and apparated to St. Mungo, where finding out she were much worse than they thought, they even had to call in a muggle-born surgeon to fix her up. After her many surgeries and a few week stay Harriet was ready to be released and brought home.

                      ——A few weeks later——

"Dora I'm gonna get you!" Lyra said jumping on the tiny broom stick her dad had given her for her forth birthday.

"No you're not!" Dora said running right into a wall.

Lyra at that moment stopped and flew right to the front door she knew her parents were coming back from St. Mungo's. Lyra jumped off the toy and landed on the ground.

"Mummy!!!" Lyra yelled as she ran right into her mum's sore arms.

"Harriet, Lyra has missed you so much, she was so sad she didn't get to see you on her birthday she made Tonks blow up like a balloon. I tell you Tonks was mad after that she made Lyra's cake blow up. I have pictures for you." Sirius picked up Lyra gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"How about we go and sit and look at pictures baby girl I've missed you these last few weeks, I've missed your beautiful smile," Harriet said as she pinched Lyra's cheek.

"Mum, Mum, Auntie Andro is making your favorite chicken and dumplings for dinner!!!" Lyra said snuggling up to her mum as the four of them sat on the couch.

"Harriet here are the pictures from the last few weeks," Ted Tonks said as he brought four huge photo albums and laid them in front of Harriet.

"Oh my who took most of these pictures?!" Harriet exclaimed.

"Some of them were taken by Lily and James, others were taken by myself,  a few in there were taken by Tonks, a couple by Remus, and the majority of them were taken by Lyra," Sirius said as he picked up Lyra and snuggled with her.

"Oh dear Lyra these are wonderful, did you take a picture everyday?" Harriet asked flipping through the album.

"Uhh, yes and no, daddy took one every morning when he woke up, Tonks and I took the ones of her and I playing, uhhh Uncle Remus took the birthday ones, and the ones of just me sitting there next to the baby was Uncle James, and Aunt Lily took the ones of James turning into a deer and me riding on his back," she said pointing at each picture.

"Oh my Lily finally had her baby?" Harriet looked at Sirius with a wild look on her face.

"Yeah, they named him Harry, she said the night we all escaped a few weeks ago saved her and the baby's life so she named him Harry James Potter. Apparently Harry has become a hand full just like Lyra was after she was born, first night he woke up crying James accidentally turned himself into a stag and ran into the wall and Lily got up had call St. Mungo to get him fixed up and Harry happily ate and went right back to sleep," Sirius said as if he never did that when Lyra was a baby.

"Oh my, sounds like you and James have something in common," Harriet said laughing at Sirius causing him to blush.

———One year later———

"Lyra hide under the bed!" Sirius said as the Ministry of Magic showed up at the door,

"Sirius you are here by being charged with murder of 12 muggles and the deaths of Peter Pettigrew, James Potter, and Lily Potter. Please come with us, as for you are going to Azkaban," one of the strange men said to Sirius.

"I killed no one, James and Lily were my friends and family. Peter was the one that sought them out I didn't do it!" Sirius exclaimed as they drug him off.

"Peter Pettigrew is dead all we found of him was a finger, and also in the same area where we found his finger was the amount of 12 muggles dead and a note from you to Peter," The man said to Sirius.

"I'M TELLING YA I'M INNOCENT I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!!" Sirius screamed with tears in his eyes looking in the house seeing his daughter climb out from under a bed crying at the window."

"DADDY!!!!" Lyra screams and panicked and ran to her mom's arms.

"Sirius is this your family?" The man asked.

"No I've been living with these people the last year, she's only five that's why she calls me daddy," he said crying looking away from Harriet and Lyra as he  was drug off to Azkaban.

"Mummy...... why did daddy say that, doesn't he love us?" Lyra looked at her mom with sorrow in her eyes.

"Because dear, if daddy was to tell them yes we would be taken in for questioning as well and you would turn out like Harry." She said hugging her pained daughter also crying herself.
