Lyra James Black, half witch half water nymph, doesn't know much of her father, she only knows as much as her godfather Remus will tell her. Basically he was a murder, who betrayed her best friend's parents, and even went as far as murdering her mother. It's not just Remus telling her this, but the whole ministry has proven it through clear evidence. Her father was a trader. A murder. So why can't Lyra believe it? Maybe it was caused by the only encounter she had with him, when she teleported into the waters of Askaban to meet him. Maybe it was her just being in denial. Or maybe she isn't as crazy as she thinks. Now she is entering her third year at Hogwarts after a ...eventful first two. While hoping for a new start at Hogwarts, Lyra learns four things. It's weird having your god father as a teacher, it's even weirder to start developing feelings for her best friend Harry Potter, the Dark Lord is trying to return, and Lyra's real father has escaped Askaban. Oh also, she sucks at potions.
