It was clear that summer was over on the 2nd of October 1976 when the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry woke to the chilly wind and brown and scarlet leaves dancing from tree to ground. Autumn had arrived without a warning, with its slow and beautiful grace.
The sunlight cascaded its bright light against her pale and tired face, accentuating the tiny freckles that decorated it. Her stormy grey eyes fluttered open and she inhaled the sweet smell of lavender emitting from the flower pot by her window.
And though everything seemed peaceful, Lyra woke with the feeling of drowning, not having the strength to get up or move at all. A swirl of emotions built-up inside of her, yet she felt numb and empty at the same time.
It was his birthday after all.
Meanwhile, James woke up ecstatic. He buried himself in the warm, soft sheets with a smile. It didn't matter that the buzzing of bees had faded, or that flowers were beginning to wither because it was Saturday, which meant no class, a Hogsmeade trip and most importantly; Lily.
He got up with a beaming smile. One which his friends had not seen in a long while. "You seem happy." Remus cocked an amused eyebrow at the messy-haired boy as he chose a maroon knitted sweater to wear.
"I am, Moony, I am." He hummed, grabbing his glasses from his nightstand and putting them on.
"And why is that my dearest Prongs?"
"Because Lily might come with us to Hogsmeade." He gave the young lycanthrope a smile that reached his eyes, making Remus snort.
"And what makes you think she would want to come with us?"
"Because-" He took his pyjama off "-Lyra's gonna try and talk to her. They're both coming."
At that, Sirius shot up from his bed, instantly regretting it as a wave of nausea hit him, quickly retrieving under his duvet.
"You okay there Padfoot?" Peter yawned as he stretched his limbs.
Sirius groaned in response before mumbling. "Hangover." making Remus shake his head disapprovingly.
"That's what you get for drinking too much, you idiot."
"Funny," Sirius mumbled with a blank expression as he slowly retrieved himself from his cocoon. "You said Lyra's coming with us?" he furrowed his eyebrows at James, who was finishing getting dressed.
