Lyra Malfoy ( A George Weasley love story)

Part 4- The truth

Hope you enjoy the chapter!
————————————————-
Lyra has managed to get to her dorm room without running into any of her fellow Gryffindors, other than her roommates Angelina Johnson and two other girls whom she had forgotten the names of.

Unfortunately the two girls wouldn't stop talking and it was now 3:00am and she was still listening to their giggling and screeching. She couldn't understand how Angelina was sleeping through this!

Lyra soon gave up and just left, hopefully she could talk to Dumbledore about getting some new roommates the next morning, for now she just decided to roam the halls.

Eventually after aimlessly walking the castle grounds she thought maybe it would be a good idea to head up to the Astronomy tower.

As she crept her way up the stairs she heard voices, both she recognized. Lyra turned the corner to reveal her boyfriend Theo. Before she could make her presence known the voice of Theo's father rang out, "How is it going with the girl?"

This peaked Lyra's interest so she remained hidden.

Theo's voice was cold and calculated as he spoke, "She doesn't know, I still am unable to understand why we made this deal in the first place, she is a blood traitor. She still seems hesitant to do what I ask of her."

"Lucius and I made the deal if you are to wed his daughter we receive a substantial amount of wealth as well as we would gain a higher status in the wizarding world."

"Right yes of course father, my apologies, I have nothing else to report I will call you with an update soon."

Lyra's mind was spinning she couldn't believe she didn't see this before, she felt as if a huge weight was crushing her and she couldn't breath.

"I'm such a fool, I should've know, how could I let myself be played? How did I not see through it?"

Right now she could feel herself falling apart, but she knew she had to deal with this now, so she gathered all her remaining strength and put on her ice queen façade as she stepped into view.

"Anything else you wanted to report Nott?"

He turned to her and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His eyes were huge with shock and it was easy to tell that he was desperately trying to form words.

"Lyra listen I was just saying that be-"

"No, Nott no excuses, I've heard what you really think of me. I don't want any excuses. We are done. Leave, now," Lyra's voice was even, it didn't waver and neither did her cold stoney expression.

"Lyra you don't have a choice, it's already been agreed upon," Theodore said grabbing her wrist.

Immediately she had ripped his hand away. Her eyes were bright yellow and she snarled at him with her wolf teeth. ( A/N Her animagus is a wolf and she can change into a wolf or partially shift at anytime). She regained her composure and changed back quickly.

Theodore now had a sliver of fear in his face but tried to mask it. "What about your father Lyra?"

"Tell him he can stick his deal up his own ass!"

"Your going to regret that Lyra," Theodore said leaving the tower.

As soon as his footsteps became too far away to hear Lyra turned and faced the grounds, she closed her eyes listening to the sounds of the forbidden forest as she softly inhaled breathing in the night air.

All of a sudden it was like a dam broke as all her anger and hurt flowed out of her, with a choked sob she fell to the ground.

Violet sobs shook her body as tears streamed down her face.

Millions of thoughts clouded her mind, Lyra kept on reliving the moment Lucius had picked her up from hogwarts, her first year only to take her home and beat her for being sorted into Gryffindor. Not only was she beaten but she was left with huge scar across her chest that read Disgrace.

Then at that moment she understood why Theodore had asked her out out of the blue like he did, it was because her father had made one of his deals, to get rid of her and keep up the family's bloodlines.

After crying for quite a long time she picked herself off the ground and left the astronomy tower. She had finished feeling sad for herself and was now walking at a fierce pace mentally cursing herself for falling for Notts tricks.

Lyra had been so caught up in her thoughts that she turned a corner without looking and...

"OUCH!"
