Hey guys sorry for not uploading sooner but school just started up again and I have had so much work 🤦‍♀️ anyways hope you enjoy the chapter!

"Ouch!"
Lyra bumped into a tall figure, and with a thud she landed roughly on the ground, cringing she got up quickly brushing herself off apologizing profusely.

"I'm so sorry Professor! I didn't see you! I know I shouldn't be up at this hour but I-" Lyra cut herself off as she finally realized that she had not run in to a professor, but one of the Weasley's.

"Oh, your not a professor," Lyra said matter of factly.

"What gave it away?" he deadpanned.

They locked eyes and laughed hysterically clutching their stomachs.

When George gained control of his laughter again he wiped the tear from his eye and stuck out his hand.

"George Weasley prankster extraordinaire! You must be Malfoy's sister," he smiled.

She rolled her eyes, "yes I am but just call me Lyra," He saluted her in response.

George studied her face closer and realized she was sad, he couldn't tell by her facial expressions or her body language but her eyes, her eyes were the dead give away. No matter how hard she masked her emotions her eyes just seemed to betray her.

"Hey," he said, "your new so how about we sneak into the kitchens and make some food...Swap life stories...Ya know the whole shebang."

Lyra, for the first time in a long time, gave a genuine smile and nodded.

"You had me at food..."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

George ended up showing Lyra  the secret entrance to the kitchen (by tickling the pear)
When she asked him where he got the information he simply told her he had connections in Hufflepuff.

"ooohhh connections!" she said jokingly.
George laughed with her, "it's true I swear!"

They continued to share stories while sitting on the kitchen counter eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.

George and Lyra didn't notice but as far as anyone could see they had a connection, people would have looked at them and thought they had known each other for years and years, yet they had only met 2 hours prior.

It was as if the stars had aligned and they were right where they had always meant to be.

George had a twinkle in his eyes as he spoke about his prank where he made Percy turn blue, Lyra had on the most genuine of smiles and big hand gestures as she spun off a story about her old classmates. No 2 people could have fit as well as they did, just like puzzle pieces...

"I almost got expelled! Headmistress Maxime was so mad I literally could see steam coming out of her ears! However, since my mother had been a former student there they let me stay. But I couldn't stand it any longer, honestly everyone walking around like they were better than you, that snobbish energy, ugh I couldn't do it anymore so I begged to get transferred here."

George nodded, "I still can't believe that you covered her entire office in slugs I mean that's genius! You should join my brother and I, we want to open a joke shop one day and I think you could really help us out!"
