"I'm not scared of falling, Harry. I'm scared of having nobody there to catch me. Because you know what happens then? Then I break." Lyra Archer never knew her parents, and spent her life so far growing up in an orphanage on Privet Drive. No one to catch her, no one to fall for, no reason to smile besides him. Harry Potter, her best friend, and Sarah, the only other person she has. But even Harry begins to leave. Her life begins to make even less sense when a letter and nine redheads, among others, pop into it. And fire. Lots and lots of fire. But she slowly begins to fall apart, to break inside. {Editing} Disclaimer: All original Harry Potter characters and plot belong to J.K. Rowling.
