"AND WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?!"
The voice of Euphemia Potter boomed through the house as James slammed the front door shut.
Both boys looked at each other in fear as Euphemia appeared from the living room. "Hours! Hours I have been waiting for you and - oh." Her face fell at the sight of Lyra, who awkwardly stood behind Sirius and James, arms wrapped around herself. She looked a mess.
"Mum, we'll explain everything-"
"-Oh indeed you will!" Her tone was calm though her face rested in a scowl. "But before anything, I'd like to know who this is."
"She's-"
"My sister," Sirius stated, wrapping his arm around Lyra's shoulder as Euphemia stared at them confused and shocked.
"What-"
"I thought I heard my boys!" Fleammont exclaimed with a wide smile as he joined the group. His eyes fell on Lyra, confusion washing over his face. "And who's this?"
"Sirius' sister," Euphemia muttered in shock.
"Sister? I thought you had a brother-"
"And he does," James interrupted, trying to get this over with. "But we first should let her change, right Ly?" the messy-haired boy turned to look at Lyra, who really felt out of place.
"I- I guess - I can leave though, I don't want to be a burden-"
"Nonsense!" Euphemia exclaimed. "You're no burden dear, we're just a little shocked." She chuckled. "Why don't you take a shower and we'll talk later?"
So Euphemia took the girl by the arm and led her to one of the bathrooms, summoning Lyra's underwear and pyjamas and once she left, Lyra stripped down and stepped in the shower.
Closing her eyes to the water as the heat soaked into her skin, Lyra began to cry. It wasn't full-blown sobbing, but she did shake as the recalled the recent events.
How could they have lied to her for so long? What would happen now? And most importantly, would she have to go by the Black name, or stick with the one who wasn't even hers?
The shower was short but much welcomed, the hot water relaxing her tense shoulders. She soon stepped out, drying her self and changing into clean clothes.
