After Lydia got back to school she went to the only place she could rant and not feel alone, the Syltherin common room. You see, Lydia and Draco are cousins and well, engaged, well, betrothed… Lydia's birth parents made an agreement that Lydia and Draco would have an arranged marriage that way the blood purity line would continue on. Ever since Draco and Lydia had to have a monthly dinner at the Malfoy Manor Lydia and Draco really hit it off, and by that she means they hit a fat blunt with Blaise Zambini and she lied to her fathers that the pot was for her pain, while it was for pain it wasn't for the physical pain it was for the headache that is the Malfoy family.

"Hand it over," Lydia demanded as she walked into the third year boys dormitory checking to make sure no one but Draco and Blaise were in the room. "Ah just in time, red." Blaise said, already taking a drag. "So my parents found out I smoke." Lydia said as she landed on Draco's bed sighing. "Damn, what did you do about it?" Draco asked, taking the blunt away from Blaise and bringing it to his mouth. "I just told them it was for my period and they shut up about it." "What do you mean 'them'? Isn't Sirius in jail?" "Oh I meant I told my dad and James, James is kind of stepping in right now." Lydia hated lying to her friends but it was necessary in this case. "Well, that sucks, at least you still have your head." Lydia chuckled at this but, well that chuckle didn't last long. "Ah Black, what a surprise, what is that you have in your hand?" Snape came in with a smirk. "Nothing," Lydia made the blunt disappear with the wandless magic her fathers had taught her. "Give me one good reason not to expel you right now." Snape threatened, "show me in the rules where it states you can't smoke, also you have no proof even if it was a rule, and you'd have to expel your two star pupils, wouldn't want that now would you?." Snape left with a whoosh of his cape. Lydia, Draco and Blaise started laughing.

As soon as Lydia laid down under her covers someone came running up the stairs, McGonagall. "No one is allowed in or out of Gryffindor Tower. Sirius Black has broken in and we need all students safe." "So we'll be sitting ducks?" Lee Jordan said, not meaning to sound rude but Lydia felt hurt because her father wasn't a bad person, in all honesty Lydia was pretty sure this was just something her father thought of so she could sneak away and see him. "He's not a bad person!" Lydia shouted, "of course you'd think that he's your dad but get this your dad is a murderer," Percy said, Lydia ran out after that. Although she did hear Fred say, "do you always have to be such an ass Percy?" Lydia didn't care though, she knew exactly where she was going to go and was only focused on one thing.

Lydia kept making sure no one was following her and soon she was there, her dad's room. Since Remus is a teacher he has his own little house set up. Lydia went in but she wished she had knocked. Her dads were kissing on the couch when she walked in. "Lydia!" Sirius was the first to notice her. "Pere!" She ran into his arms and never wanted to let go.

"Did you really have to cause such a scene?" The youngest Black asked. "Oh come on, it was fun," Sirius insisted. "Well, what's not fun is being escorted from your dorm when all you want to do is sleep." "I'm so sorry your highness would you like to rest now?" "No! I just want to hug you and talk with you, I miss you!" "I miss you too Pumpkin Fluff." "You two need to hide, someone is coming!" Remus ushered his two family members to the back of his closet. Knock Knock. "Who's there?" Remus joked he found himself hilarious. "It's Minerva. Remus may I come in?" "It's unlocked." The transfiguration teacher walked into the fair size office with a room attached. "Lydia's missing, she ran off after a student had said a remark about Sirius, is she here? She won't be in trouble. I just need to know she's safe." Remus stayed silent. "Remus, this whole year has been extremely hard on Lydia, sh-" McGonagall was cut off by Remus. "Do you think I don't know that? Do you think I don't hear the snide remarks by people she used to consider friends? Or the bruises she is still recovering from? Do you think I don't see her flinch when she breathes the wrong way? I am not a bad father Minnie, you know she is in here, let her stay with me for now I really don't want her around other students right now." "Okay, I'll tell Albus, we'll leave you alone." "Thank you." Minerva left the room and Remus got Sirius and Lydia back out of the closet which he shoved them in.

"I hate this," Lydia said, laying down on the couch. "I know you do, I do too." Remus commented.
