Part 6 -First day madness

Hello so just wanted to warn everyone that this chapter has mention of abuse. I would recommend that anyone who may not like reading about this topic to skip that part.

Lyra stood at the edge of the forbidden forest barefoot breathing in and basking in the light as the sun started to rise.

Nobody was around everyone was inside, it was too early. Checking her watch she noticed she had 45 minutes before her first class.

Smiling brightly she took off sprinting into the forest quickly transforming into her Animagus (black wolf with gold eyes).

Lyra ran jumping over logs and fallen trees panting with a wolfy grin on her face.

She felt so in tune with her surroundings, it was if the world was moving in slow motion, she could hear every noise and movement. Senses heightened.

Her paws pounded the earth as Lyra adventured deeper into the forest.

She soon heard the sound of running water allowing herself to follow it.

Emerging from the tree line she witnessed a clearing with a waterfall that was pouring into a river, animals and magical creatures flocked to the small paradise. Pixies, a unicorn many different species of birds including owls. It took Lyra's breath away. This was her new place, this was her safe space to do whatever she wanted. Whether it be too unwind from a hard day or to get away from all the noise. This was it. Shifting into herself again she walked around taking it all in.

Before she could explore the area any further her watch beeped. She had exactly 12 minutes before potions class begun to get there. Lyra panicked.

I'M. IN. SO. MUCH. SHIT.

She switched back into her wolf because she knew she would be faster in that form and took off back into the trees.

She hightailed it out of the forbidden Forest past Hagrid's hut all the way past the grounds and arrived at the castle door. She looked around nobody was outside. hopefully she had not been seen.

Lyra was running through the hallways as fast as she could to get to the dungeons where potions was. Checking her watch she had exactly 3 MINUTES  LEFT BEFORE IMMEDIATE DEATH!

Finally she arrived at the potions door with exactly 30 seconds to spare. Pushing the door open Lyra ran in to find two redheads sitting two rows from the back to her left.

Plopping her bag down on the floor she slumped in her chair beside them.

"Hey Lyra long time no see" George wiggled his eyebrows at her.

Before she could reply with one of her famous sarcastic remarks Professor Snape entered the dingy room.

"Turn to page 91 in your textbooks, read the chapter, then write a summary on what you have read. Next class we will be handing them in. Be prepared to brew a potion next time you walk through these doors" he drawled in a low gravely voice. 

The trio rolled their eyes but thinking better of it did not say anything and got to work, it was only the first class after all, didn't need to get a detention that soon.

The day went on in a haze of boring, very boring and even more boring classes for Lyra, Lee and the twins. They mostly just joked around and got to know each other better. Lyra was like their missing puzzle piece. 

Finally they reached their last class of the day, Defense Against the Dark Arts. George noticed a complete change in Lyra's demeanor  as she entered the classroom. Her face no longer had it's signature smile, the light had left her eyes, her aura shifted and her posture was stoic.
