Harry walked into the hospital wing with Ron and Hermione, both were cautious near Lydia. "She's not going to hurt you." Harry told his best friends even though he knew they wouldn't listen. "Why do you keep trying to show that she's good? Her father is trying to kill you! He's the one that sent you know who after your mum and dad." Ron said keeping the volume at a whisper. "No! Just give her the benefit of a doubt." Harry begged. Harry lead his two friends toward Lydia's hospital bed. "I'm not a bad person you know?" Lydia said as she was writing her homework. "Nor is my father. I mean we all have our faults. Are either of you exactly like your parents? I know I'm not like mine. I mean I have traits of both of them but I'm not them. I'm sorry that you think that of me. I mean Ron do you have a caring nurturing instinct whenever you see someone injured or in need? Hermione are you neglectful and harsher than one parent should be? I know Harry isn't like his parents. I mean he's amazing at quidditch like James and caring and worrying like Lily. I'm not my father and my father isn't the man that the media portrays." Lydia turned towards Harry. "I'm sorry please leave." Lydia said turing to her bed.
"Lyd, professor Lupin told me to tell you he'll be here soon." Lydia nodded her head. "False, I'm here now." Remus said taking a large bite out of a chocolate bar. "Papa," she embraced her father in a hug, "did you get my latest homework assignment?" "Who's been giving you homework? You aren't allowed to be doing homework! Well anyways I wanted to give you a gift." Remus hadn't noticed Hermione or Ron there and Lydia completely forgot about the two.
"Merry Christmas,"
"Papa you know I don't like gifts." Lydia gigled.
"You've had a rough year Beast. I love you more than life itself."
"We've all had a rough year."
They hugged each other but someone just had to interrupt. "Rouf." A big black dog jumped onto Remus licking his face. "Padfoot!" Harry said his eyes wide. "Sorry, that was rude of me, mind if I join?" Sirius was no longer Padfoot. "Pere!" Lydia had tears in her eyes. Sirius bent down and wiped a tear with the pad of his thumb. "Hey, hey, hey, cub, cub, don't cry, baby," "pere" "I love you, both of you," Sirius looked up to Remus, "so much." "Sirius you can't be here, love." "Don't worry Harry won't rat on me." "I won't rat but um," Harry jerked his head toward his two friends.
"You're professor Lupin's daughter, your husband is Sirius Black. Lydia I knew you were hiding something, how could you not tell me, the closest thing you have to a friend." Hermione said. "Okay listen to me, I have friends, Harry is my best friend in the entire universe Kai is like a brother to me and Applebot an amazing human who I love dearly. Stop acting like I'm some charity project that your mommy and daddy invested in." Lydia stood up for herself, something that she hasn't done for weeks, and it felt amazing.
Dear Lily,
I miss you dearly and I really need one of your famous hugs. I don't get along with the girls here so well, yes still, it's been three years. I mean the guys don't even see me as a girl, I'm just "one of the guys". Lily what do I do? I miss you and Love you.
Write back soon,
Lydia xx
