Lyra spent the rest of the night guarding over the city of London. She helped a couple of people here and there but it was not anything big like what she had done for Mrs. Fortescue then. With an hour before the sun came up, she decided to end her nights watch and made her way towards her flat.

Lyra jumped from rooftop to rooftop and finally landed on her own roof. She climbed down and opened the windows of her flat. She lived in a three stories flat and all of the three floors were shared by three different people. She bought the last floor making it easy for her night activity.

Before she went inside she paused for a moment, she felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her movement. She looked towards her surrounding making sure that she was not being followed by unwanted company yet she only saw the park and vendors trying to open their shops for the day like usual that was in front of her building but she saw nothing suspicious so she head back inside once the coast was clear.

Lyra stepped on her flat; she flicked the lights on and watched as light burst into the room. She pressed the button on the arm band and her suit disappeared in an instant. She stretched her limbs and began to walk towards her bathroom. She was thinking that a nice long bath would be nice after her nightly activity.

Before she went to the bathroom she walked into the kitchen first and opened her wine cabinet and take out a bottle of wine and a glass with her to the bathroom. She set up the bath and opened the wine pouring a glass for her own. She took off her clothes and sank into the tub. She sighed in relief when the warm water seeped into her skin. She drank the wine and moaned in delight at the taste of it and the rest of the night was spent with drinking and bathing until the water grew cold.

What she didn't realize that she had forgotten to lock her window making the anti-apparition spell didn't go on and a man apparated into her flat landing uninvited in her living room.

Lyra stepped out of the bathroom with her hair up in a bun, she sported a tank top with a pair of shorts. She went to the living room and turned on the tv tuning it on to the news channel and made her way towards the kitchen but she paused her step when she noticed the wind draft on her face.

She looked towards the window and found that it was opened wide. She walked towards it and closed it slowly wondering to herself when she had forgotten to lock her window. She turned and made her own way towards her previous room again. She opened the refrigerator and took out a few fruits and a carton of milk placing it on a counter. Next, she took out a pack of oatmeal and began to prepare her meal. She took out the knife to cut the fruits up but before she could do it she threw the knife almost hitting the man that had entered her vicinity. She could have struck him right in the head but the man used a spell that transform the moving knife into dust.

When the knife vanished, Lyra grabbed another knife and jump from the counter that separated her from the trespasser. She made a slashing movement to his abdomen while the man dodged. She made another move to slash his arms but he yet again dodged her movement. She flipped the knife to her left hand and strike him again slash him near the eye. He dodged last minute yet a cut was seen on his face right on his cheek. When the man was distracted, she climbed and head locked him with her thighs and flipped him. He made a wheezing noise and Lyra got on top of the man to put the knife on the man's neck.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing here?"

"If you are thinking that I will harm you then I am sorry to disappoint you that I will not do such thing, Ms. Talarius."

Lyra only got more suspicious towards the man. She noticed that he had a long blue robe and a half moon glasses was perched between his nose. His face was scrunched up in surprise and Lyra was surprised because she didn't think that the attacker was an old man but she hold the knife tighter knowing that looks could be deceiving.

"I am not going to ask you again now who are you and what are you doing here?"

"My name is Albus Dumbledore, Ms. Talarius and the Wizarding World is in need of your assistance."

The coffee machine was beeping loudly indicating that the brew was ready to be served. Lyra grabbed two mugs and poured the content into it. She poured the coffee and brought it to the living room where Dumbledore nursed his cut on his cheek.

"You have a very strong arm, Ms. Talarius."

"I am very sorry Mr. Dumbledore. I didn't know that it was you, if I knew then I would've never do a head lock to you."

"No it is okay, Ms. Talarius."

Lyra gave him the coffee and he took it with gratitude.

"Would you like some cream and sugar with it, Mr. Dumbledore?"

"That would be a delight." He replied with a smile.

Lyra closed her eyes and commanded the two containers to come to them. Dumbledore saw that they flew from the kitchen to the coffee table in front of them. Dumbledore watched in amazement and looked towards her, she could only smile knowingly. It was at this moment that Dumbledore knew that she had done it without wand.

"I'm sorry if that startles you Mr. Dumbledore. I know that the wizard kind hasn't seen my people for over a century."

When Dumbledore looked towards Lyra once more he saw her smirked at him for his wonder.

"It's okay. I could use a different view once in a while." Dumbledore returned her smile.

Lyra smiled at him and took her coffee with her, putting several spoons of sugar and creamer. He copied her movement, putting two sugars and one spoon of cream in it. He sip it and made a noise in delight and let silence washed through them. Lyra knew that the situation in the wizarding world was pretty bad but she didn't know that it was that bad until she got a visit from Dumbledore himself.

"It is a pretty terrible situation if you are wondering, Ms. Talarius. I know that you have been watching us but we have been watching you up close too."

"I am letting you watch me, Mr. Dumbledore. I was wondering when are you going to show up on my doorstep not on my window." Lyra smirked at him.

Dumbledore laughed lightly at her. He knew that the ministry of magic was keeping their eyes on her but he knew that she had done it on purpose. He knew that if she was seen on site that means she wanted to be found.

"If you are asking me to help you, Mr. Dumbledore then I am terribly sorry because you haven't seen what I have done for your kind all these years."

"Ms. Talarius, you know that you cannot just ignore the fact that war would be upon us when you can be a great source of help to our victory."

"At what cost? My mother always told me that you never do something for free. What do you want from me, Mr. Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore sighed at her. He knew that it would take some time to convince her. He could only hope that his plan worked perfectly.

"I am here seeking justice, Ms. Talarius."

"Well justice has always come with a price, Mr. Dumbledore. You don't get it for free."

"But now I am seeking it from the lady of justice herself."

Lyra slammed her coffee down and glared at Dumbledore. She tried to calm herself down by walking towards the window and see the sunrise. She despised his words, she hated being called the lady of justice but she knew that her job had always come with so many duties and what Dumbledore asked of her was one of it.

"The road to this justice would be cruel. The price would be high to pay and there is no going back once we get down from the road."

"I am ready to pay those prices, Ms. Talarius."

"I know that you are ready to do it, Mr. Dumbledore. I have no doubt of it. My question would be is your follower willing to pay those prices?"

Lyra walked away from him and took her coffee with her. She walked toward her room making some room for him to think about it for a while. She paused for a moment to say a few words to Dumbledore to make sure that he knew what she meant.

"I don't mean to be a cruel woman to you, Mr. Dumbledore but I want you to know that these consequences will have an impact on me as well. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice."

Dumbledore only sighed at her words and began to get up to leave from her flat.

"I'm afraid that I have already disturbed your company, Ms. Talarius. I am sorry that I have already made you uncomfortable. I am just letting you know that my offer still stands and if you wanted in then you know where to go."

With a wave Dumbledore simply vanished and Lyra was left alone in her flat trying to think about the offer that he left. She just sighed and her eyes glanced to where Dumbledore last sat and saw that his drink was half finished and beside it a card was placed with a single address written in it.

Hogwarts School Witchcraft and Wizardy.
