It was a few months into the year and Sirius Black had already made "threats" to the school. This lead many people to believe that Lydia was helping Sirius Black into the castle. She wasn't she would be more than happy to help her father but she hasn't even seen the slightest bit of him or heard a whisper. This was tearing Remus apart was hear his husband was here but at the same time he could see him, hear him, or touch him.
Lydia had gotten many negative responses, mainly from students but a few from teachers, Snape, and today wasn't going to be much better. Last night was a very harsh full moon on Remus and Lydia but Lydia could actually stand and move around and wasn't as sick. Lydia still wanted to go to classes so that's what she did, but when she got to DADA it wasn't what she was expecting. She knew her father was sick but why couldn't Gammie Mimmie have taken over? Oh what fun this will be.
"Please turn to page 395," Snape said. Oh no. Lydia slowly opened her book knowing what was to come. "Sir this is on werewolves we are only just learning about vampires." Hermione said. Yeah he's going to listen like always, great going Hermione. Lydia thought as she was still at snail's pace looking for page 394. "Who knows the difference between an animagi and a werewolf?" Snape asked looking directly at Lydia. Hermione's hand shot up faster than Scabbers runs away from Crookshanks. "Ms. Black, how about you? Do you know the answer?" Snape put Lydia in the spotlight and she hated it. Of course she knows the difference doesn't mean that she wants to say it. "Yeah," Lydia responded with an eye roll. "Yeah? Yeah, what?"
"I know the answer."
"Then please enlighten us."
"No,"
"no?"
"I'm not going to tell you."
"And why not?"
"Because, I think that it is professor Lupin's job to teach us about werewolves, you know someone who could actually get the DADA position."
"Black, tell me the answer now."
"Why don't you look up your nose looks big enough to hold information." By this point there were 'ooohs' and laughter in the classroom. Lydia was smirking a smirk that would have been Sirius Black worthy.
"Ten points from Gryffindor. Now tell me the answer."
"Hermione has her hand up, why don't you call on her?"
"I'm not calling on an insufferable know-it-all even though you aren't much better." Lydia rolled her eyes.
"Fine an animagus can chose to be an animal and a werewolf has no choice."
"Correct ten points to Slytherin."
"Wait what? No I answered that and I'm in Gryffindor."
"Oh that's right ten points from Gryffindor."
"I- I'm so done."
"Ms. Black please tell me the five ways to spot a werewolf."
"Nah, I'm good."
"Then tell me ways to kill a werewolf."
"They don't deserve to be killed."
"Yes they do."
"No they don't, but you know what I do know deserves to be killed?"
"What's that?"
"Slimy gits."
"You have your father's vocabulary."
"Thank you."
"Not a compliment."
"Awe I'm so hurt."
"Detention Ms. Black."
"Okay bye."
"Where are you going?"
"To the hospital wing your smell is making me nauseous." With that Lydia walked out of the room to see her father.
In the days that followed the famous Snape VS Lydia battle of '93, Lydia got much praise from all the houses besides Slytherin and Remus laughed but still said she was grounded.
Today was a day where, almost, everyone was at Hogsmeade. Lydia still wasn't feeling the best from the full moon and decided to take a walk around the castle. Upon her glorious adventure she ran into Pansy Parkinson, Astoria Greengrass, and Daphne Greengrass. "Hey your dad is a murderer." Pansy shouted. Ugh not today. Lydia thought to herself. "Hey your dad isn't any better." Lydia spat trying to walk away from the situation.
All four girls hated each other and Lydia ignored them as much as possible but that didn't always work. Lydia was still very weak from the full moon so when Pansy punched her first she couldn't retaliate.
Astoria and Daphne joined in on the fun. Kicking Lydia until unconsciousness. Due to Lydia's skinniness her bones broke easily you could hear crack after crack and see bones sticking out. Again and again they kicked, by this point Lydia was bleeding out of her mouth, by this point Lydia was unconscious, by this point Remus saw three Slytherin girls but no clue what they were doing. He was talking to Minerva about Lydia and Snape's mouth off when they saw three girls kicking a limp figure.
"What's going on here?" Minerva asked her eyes going to the figure and seeing the fiery red hair that belonged to the sweetheart she saw as a granddaughter in a pool of what looked like blood. Remus ran over to his daughter, his heart sinking, one of the only things he has left and now she might be gone. He felt her pulse, that's good, right? Remus was panicking. "Remus get her to Poppy, I will take care of these three." "We only did it because she went after us first!" Pansy tried to defend. "I'm sure. Remus, staying the Hospital wing with her? I will be down there in a little bit." "Of course." Remus picked up his eighty pound daughter and carried her limp body to the hospital.
