This is the longest imagine I have ever written in my life - wow :)

*SMALL LANGUAGE WARNING AND PARTIAL TRIGGER WARNING*

Lyra LeStrange high fived her cousin Draco, with a devilish grin on her face as she passed the quaffel through the hoop yet again. It was fair to say that the Slytherin team had won the match against Hufflepuff with ease, although the snitch was yet to be caught. Her eyes flashed to Cedric Diggory, who circled above them and dropped her eye into a wink. Despite her pure blood, Slytherin status, Lyra found her best friend in the yellow house. The unlikely duo were practically inseparable. Harry Potter glared daggers at the Slytherin chaser, ready for the match to be over so he could return to his dorm room so that he no longer had to watch her (in her striking beauty and all) celebrate with his most detested rival and his competitor for the Triwizard Cup.

"Keep your eyes to yourself Potter," she sneered at him, herself and her cousin hovering on their brooms not far from the stand, Draco smirking from over her shoulder. She looked at him and his friends with upmost distaste, her parents' and siblings opinions on mudbloods and those that associated with them flying around her head. "I suggest, Potter," glared Draco, "that you keep your eyes firmly off my cousin... before I break your nose that is."

The two laughed, circling around and heading back towards their team, Marcus Flint smirking all the while.

As she floated down the stairs, Lyra felt all eyes on her. And she liked it. Her well known smirk decorated her face as mouths fell open and gasps escaped. Echoes of "she looks beautiful" radiated around the entrance hall as she found herself beside Cedric, her date for the evening.

"You look fantastic, and if you weren't practically my little sister, I'd ask you out," Cedric laughed, allowing Lyra to relax. A genuine smile graced her face and for once she did not feel like she had to live up to the LeStrange family legacy. They were quickly hurried to the line of Triwizard Champions and Lyra did not even think to threaten the young man pulling her and Cedric by the arm, for touching her.

"Our champions!" Professor Dumbledore announced, gesturing behind him as the large oak doors opened and Cedric lead Lyra and the rest of their line into the Great Hall to be met with cheers. For once in her time at Hogwarts, Lyra smiled at everyone who looked her way, even Hermione Granger, who politely told her that she looked stunning.

The customary first dance of the champions began as  Cedric took his partners waist into his arms. The crowd gasped and awed as Lyra's emerald green dress floated around her as she gracefully twisted and twirled and span around the hall - all the while, a particularly bespectacled pair of eyes watched her every move (rather than what he was doing and ended up tripping over Padma Patil's feet multiple times). She leapt into the air, with Cedric's arms holding her steady as she heard Draco boast, "that's my cousin" to the crowd of Durmstrang and Slytherin students.

As the music ended, Cedric departed from the dancefloor with the promise to get the two some drinks, "I'll be two minutes," he smiled, entering the crowd. Lyra sighed, unsure of what to do. From the corner of her eye she saw a group of boys fighting over who could ask her to dance first and was about to shout something about how she was not a possession to be argued about when her train of thought was interrupted.

"Look, Lyra-" Harry spoke from beside her. Had she not have been taught to be stoic and proud in the presence of others, she would have jumped. "Oh... Potter, it's you. What do you want?" she asked, grimacing as the boys behind them grew closer. He rolled his eyes, "will you dance with me?" he asked, confidence sprouting so quickly even he himself was shocked. As an "oi" came from behind them, Lyra reluctantly agreed, entwining her arm with Harry's, ignoring the feeling of electricity running through her.
