Author note: I do not own Harry Potter, I do own my character.
-No POV-
At Hogwarts a School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, students walk through the halls heading towards their first period classes. A pair of boys and a pair of girls walked side by side talking about their summer, one boy was well known by the wizarding world, his name was Harry Potter, and alongside him was his 3 best friends, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger and Lyssa O'Conner.
Lyssa O'Conner had a waterfall of black rippling hair, normally she kept it in a low pony tail, but this morning it cascaded down her back and reached her lower back and sat about two inches above her hips. Her eyes where steel blue, matching both her mother and father whom she had recently met the year prior. She was 16 this year and was the second youngest of the group. Hermione and Ronald had been a few months older than she but she had been older than Harry by 30 days.
This morning they were all walking to their potions class that they shared with the Slytherin as a double period. Despite how the other three felt about potions Lyssa loved the class even with Severus Snape teaching the subject. It was where she felt she held the most talent and had been the best in her class for the past 6 years. This year Professor Slughorn would be teaching the class as Professor Snape had taken the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. He would be a better teacher than Professor Umbridge. Lyssa and Harry still had the scars from their detention etched onto their hands.
Lyssa's left hand read "I will not tell a Lie" and the right hand read "I Am Awesome", she preferred reading her right hand because she had done this to spite Umbridge. Harry however never did such a thing because he just wanted to get the hell out of detention.
This morning Ron had started a conversation about the Battle they had fought in the year before. The day Sirius Black had perished at the hand of Bellatrix. "I still can't believe this all had happened, Harry," Ron had said as they left the great hall after breakfast, "I mean, Black died, you almost died… AGAIN and Lyssa found out who her long lost parents where."
Both Harry and Lyssa shivered at his statement. "Ron, can we not talk about my parents." Lyssa said as they turned the corner, she knew Draco was probably just a few paces behind them with his groupies.
"But Yer Draco Malfoy's Sister, how do we know you aren't going to turn on us?" Ron said, "I mean you are Bellatrix's daughter, the woman who killed Sirius Black's Daughter!"
"Ron Shut up will you" Hermione said rolling her eyes, "Lyssa has been our best friend since day one how can you think she'd betray us?"
"BUT SHE'S A MALFOY!" Ron yelled
With a yelp Ronald found himself pinned to the wall on the word Malfoy, Lyssa herself had pinned him to this wall and had gotten close to his face. "How dare you accuse me of such things Weasley, do you really think me so shallow." She hissed in his face before releasing him from her tight grip. Though she was quite thin she had strength she wasn't a beater for no reason. "I'll see you guys in class." She huffed before storming down the hall.
Now alone Lyssa walked towards the Potions class in the dungeon. She had found not only a group of Slytherins outside the door but the pompous platinum blond himself. He was surrounded by his groupies. He had a sour look on his face when he saw the Gryffindor making her way towards the door he was blocking.
"Where's your pup Potter, O'Conner… or should I say Malfoy" he spat his own last name at her.
"None of your business Draco, I don't have to be at Potter's side twenty-four seven" she hissed pushing her way through the Slytherin group.
Draco smirked and pulled out his wand, "good because now he won't be here to save you" he said with a grin and pointed his wand at her without a word a white flash came out from the tip of his wand and a stinging sensation erupted all over her body she fell back from the force of the flash and her skin started to swell. The Slytherin all calked at her pain and miss fortune. She would have screamed out if her lips hadn't swollen shut. She was barely able to breath. Even Lyssa's eye site had been hindered by the stinging hex. She had no clue what the other courses or hexes had been set upon her but she heard the sound of something breaking under someone's foot.
'Dear Merlin I hope that wasn't the time turner!' she had thought to herself, not caring about what he Slytherin had been doing to her. She reached out a swollen hand to the charmed necklace around her neck and followed it to the pieces of a broken time turner. She even cut her finger on the glass.
The boys and girls around her watched as sand from the time turner surrounded the girl. Even the golden trio had seen this happen to their friend as they had just entered the hall. A storm of lightning and sand caused the students to flee backwards away from the girl as the sand surrounded her till they could no longer see where she was on the floor.
Inside the sandy cocoon the effects of the hexes and curses faded and Lyssa could now see the sand surrounding her and a bright white light engulfed her body and the sand. She couldn't even scream out for help before the light had taken her away, to Merlin knows when.
