Chapter 6 – Lyra

Vomit Palooza

Early October 2009

Lyra normally wasn't one for solitude, but today she was feeling lazy. And as it was the weekend, she had beaten all the boys out of bed and didn't want to spend the effort getting them up for breakfast.

And she was, just now, realizing that solitude wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It was the quiet that got to her actually. So, sitting by herself in the Great Hall, with all the noise around her, was actually quite peaceful. It also provided an escape from the boys.

Growing up with a brother, Lyra was used to spending all her time with boys. However, she did not like sharing that time with disgusting girlfriends. Except in the case of O'Malley, who was the only one with a girlfriend, they couldn't even really be called girlfriends. The current girl was just his girl of the week. After all, they never lasted more than a week.

And speak of the devil; O'Malley was just walking in with his current girl latched onto his arm. He had such awful taste in girls. He always chose the ditzy ones that just wanted to make goo-goo eyes at him constantly. That was, when they weren't snogging and making everyone around want to vomit.

Lyra was praying he would sit elsewhere, but upon seeing her, he headed straight for her and plopped down with girl in tow. She really needed to learn Legilimency.

"Hello Lyra. How is your morning going?"

"Much better before you showed up with the girl of the week in tow." Lyra didn't even try to keep the girl from hearing. After all, if she took offence and left, all the better. No such luck.

"Oi! Leave her be Lyra. I don't harp on your boys."

Sometimes, he really needs to think about his comebacks before he says them. "That's because I recognize the fact that I'm only eleven, I do not need a boyfriend and as such, I do not have any. Meaning no such boys exist for you to harp on."

Recognizing he had lost, he took to ignoring her and focused on her.

Lyra, recognizing a lost cause, left to find Teddy and Leo and warn them to avoid the Great Hall.
