A nagging thought came to mind as her affection for him beat heavily in her chest. “...you know, it’s getting close to the final challenge.”
Arnaud nodded, already knowing where she was going with this. “Which means I will be returning home soon enough.”
“We haven’t really talked about how we’re going to do this.” She blushed. “If, I mean. If we’re going to continue this.”

The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament was to bring the three schools together. No one ever said if it would be in good or bad ways.

Sneak Peek: Goblet of Fire — Chapter Twenty-Four
Link to the main fic here
Tumblr media
Lyra put her hands on her friend’s shoulders, fingers digging in. “Kit, I need you to do something for me, something I was going to let you figure out on your own, but you’ve left me with no choices. This is non-negotiable, you are doing it! I need you to examine why you don’t like Ginny talking so highly about Harry. EH-EH!” She wagged a finger in her friend’s face as she opened her mouth to argue. “You not liking him because he has been made allowances no one else would have and all this stuff with me, that is only a fraction of why you dislike him so personally. I need you to focus on why you don’t like Ginny talking about him, alright?”
Kit just looked confused. “But I already know, it’s because it’s annoying.”
Lyra shook her head. “That is not it, keep looking.”
“But I’m pretty sure—”
“You are incorrect. I know the right answer, I will tell you when you’ve got it.”
Kit reached out to place a hand over Lyra’s forehead. “Are you feeling alright, Lyra?”

“Be honest, how upset are you with me?” “Not upset.” Kit was several yards ahead of her, Lyra awkwardly chasing behind. “It’s okay if you are.” “I’m not.”

Me two hours ago: hmmmm...maybe you should split the chapter so it's not so long, which would give you more time to edit the second half and write upcoming chapters.
Me now: No.

Sneak Peek: Goblet of Fire — Chapter Twenty-Three

Kitrina didn’t appear to be in a helping mood though, arms crossing and a cold expression on her face. “Writing to daddy Black, are you?”
Harry’s eyebrows shot up into his hairline and he looked to Lyra. “They know,” she told him, a bit shamefaced.
“You told them—!”
“Oh, so was it your idea to have our best friend keep secrets from us?” Kitrina snapped, advancing on him. “Did you put the thought into Lyra’s head that she couldn’t tell us what happened last year?”
“What, no!”
“Nearly a full year goes by, and Marie and I just heard yesterday about what actually went on that night.”
Lyra came to stand between them. “Can we do this somewhere private,” she begged her friend. “We’re talking about some pretty sensitive stuff still. If anyone was to overhear, things could get bad.”
“Fine,” she relented, still glaring.
Marie Fawley came skipping up, a drastic difference from her simmering friend. “How about we head to the Shrieking Shack—”
“I don’t want them there,” Kitrina snapped.
“It’s secluded, it’s private—”
“It’s ours!”
“You’ll be able to actually yell as loud as you want there,” Lyra interrupted in a desperate attempt to convince her not to start this here.
“...Fine. To the shack.”

Going into a room you know you will have no allies in is frightening. Narcissa didn’t count anymore, maybe she never really did. She kept a hand on Lyra’s back to lead her to Steros’ office, making sure she didn’t go anywhere.

Finally in a room alone with one another after month behavior apart, Lyra has to face whatever consequences her aunt and uncle have for her after all her bad behavior.

I'm coming to the realization that this story would be a lot shorter if Lyra stopped trying to manage everyone else's feelings.
It would ALSO be less dramatic, and therefor less fun, in my opinion.

Sneak Peek: Goblet of Fire — Chapter Twenty-Two

I swear it's coming soon, probably the next day or two. It's just that every time I look at it, my eyeballs melt out of my skull so I can't edit it and I so badly want this chapter to be good. So you get a second mini-peek while I try and get it together.

It was like a wire had been lit inside of her. She was unable to calm herself. Not during the way back to school, not in the safety of her bed. Even when she was able to get her mind on other things, her entire body thrummed with anxiety.
She felt like she had to move, to walk—to run. But not even a jog around the castle grounds put her anxiety at ease, she still felt uneasy. It didn’t matter how many laps she did, the energy wouldn’t leave her.

Going into a room you know you will have no allies in is frightening. Narcissa didn’t count anymore, maybe she never really did. She kept a hand on Lyra’s back to lead her to Steros’ office, making sure she didn’t go anywhere.
“Do be sure to close the door fully.”
“I know how silencing charms work, Steros,” her uncle muttered, walking past.
“In,” her aunt commanded gently with a push to match.
As the door slammed shut, the paper just minutes ago mentioned in court was picked up by her uncle from the desk in the center of the room, and he’d began to recite it from the top of his lungs.
“‘—to look past her obvious family drama to the scared little girl in need of saving’,” he screamed to a finish. He waved the paper around. “This is how you’re being depicted to the community. This does not paint any of us in the a desirable light, Lyra!”
“Rita Skeeter’s made it all up,” she said, eyes closed so she could see him whip around her way. “She makes everything she writes up.”
“AND PEOPLE BELIEVE IT!” He screamed, right into her face, swinging the paper. “The judge read it!”

The feeling that consumed Lyra after that revelation was indescribable. It wouldn’t be possible to put into words the fear and betrayal she was experiencing, and all the other emotions that had tagged along with them. So stunned by her idiocy, she tried to summon that icy numbness to return to her, a desperate block of the onslaught of it. 
✶.✶.✶
It was inevitable, at some point Lyra was going to have to face her aunt and uncle again.

Sneak Peek: Goblet of Fire — Chapter Twenty-One

Draco must have been feeling a bit guilty, because he was already up and waiting for her to walk through the common room. “Look,” he sighed, rubbing at his eyes. “Tell father you’re sorry, that you were only talking to her out of politeness. Maybe throw in that you’re grieving. Tell them you’ll do whatever they ask to make this better—“
“I’m not taking advice from you, Draco.” She walked by without looking at him. “You’re father does not love me the way he loves you, that’s not going to work.”
“He won’t be unfair to you, Lyra.”
Lyra shook her head, hand on the door out. “You’re just so blind.”
This cracked the measured patience he’d had since she found out. “I am not blind! If I was, I wouldn’t have noticed that you were writing letters to someone, and I wouldn’t have noticed how friendly you were getting with Potter! I see things!”
“You’re just blind to the important stuff then.” She didn’t even have the energy to snap at him.

Both expected and unexpected results! I knew Narcissa was going to be up there and thought Cass might as well, but I didn’t think they were going to tie! Now just to figure out which of them comes first…
Current order is:
1/2: Cass or Narcissa
3: Arnaud
4: Kit
5/6: Wheely or Cedric
If you have any questions you want me to possibly address about Cass or Narcissa, let me know! Otherwise, expect these to come out sometime after the arc concludes.
You don’t get Sirius or Remus as options yet because I’ve got in fic stuff coming up that I want to let speak first before I go into them.
These wouldn’t come out until the arc break if I end up doing them, just looking to see if there’s any interest or if I should just do these for myself. Feel free to suggest other characters or let me know if there’s something specific you want to know about anyone.

The worst part was how genuinely the two seemed to be getting on. For a second, Travers almost looked like a normal human being, and not a manipulative ass hat, which Lyra knew better than to think was possible. They were having some spirited debate over something. Lyra stood up with every intention of ruining that.
