So in my story Dumbledore, Snape, Tonks, Remus, and Fred don't die because I love them too much! Sadly Sirius however did, but it's necessary for my story!
"Come on Ly, get up we're going to be late for breakfast!" Hermione said frustratedly trying to pull the covers off of her best friends head.
The girl in question groaned pulling the covers tightly around her head.
"5 more minutes Mione!" The young witch groaned out tiredly. "Lyra Andromeda Black! You get up this instant!" Hermione yelled yanking the covers off of her friend's head.
"Bloody hell! Fine I'm up!" The brown skinned beauty yelled. Her curly jet black hair was disheveled on top of her hair and her striking gray eyes that she inherited from her father shined with annoyance.
"Great now that you're up, get ready we don't want to be late." Hermione said smiling ignoring the glare pinned on her. "You're lucky I like you." Lyra said pointing a finger at her friend. She heard a snicker from the other side of the room and turned her glare to the person responsible. "Not other sound out of you Ginerva Weasley!" Lyra yelled point an accusing finger at her orange haired best friend who was watching the scene unfold amusingly from her bed.
This was a normal occurrence in the girl's shared room. After the war had ended last year the remaining students decided to finish out their last year at Hogwarts in an attempt to find a sense of normalcy. After they had all lost so much, this was a necessity.
For Lyra Black this was the place where she felt the most at peace. Where she met her first friends, who she later dubbed her surrogate family. After her mother died she was shipped off to live in Egypt with only her grandparents as company she revealed at the fact that she had such a close-knit group of friends. They were the ones who were there for her when she discovered that her absentee father was actually the notorious Sirius Black. Of course Lyra was shocked by this as was her best friend Harry Potter and the two got into a bit of a riff when they found out, only to later find out that he was innocent. She grew very close to her father very quickly hoping to make up for the years they lost, only for him to be taken away from her again two years later by the same woman who killed her mother Safira, Bellatrix Lestrange.
Lyra really didn't know how she would have made it through the past couple of years without her friends. But she's glad that she never had to find out.
"So are you excited for your birthday tomorrow Ly?" Harry asked as they all say around the Black Lake after a long day of classes. Lyra looked up at him stunned having completely forgotten that tomorrow was her 19th birthday. Hermione noticed the sheepish look on her friend's face and lifted an eyebrow.
"You forgot didn't you?" She asked.
Lyra sheepishly raised her shoulders to shrug.
"Yeah kinda, I guess it's just that I haven't celebrated my birthday in a while is all." She said making them all sigh in realization. During their 5th year Sirius was killed so Lyra was in a state of depression, during their 6th year there was an attempt on Dumbledore's life (not that anyone succeeded) so everyone was on edge, and during what was supposed to be their 7th year they were on the run for the horcruxes; so for the past couple years Lyra hasn't celebrated her birthday.
"Well then we'll just have to make this year even more special." Ginny said wrapping an arm around Lyra's shoulder.
"Yeah we'll make this year the most memorable yet." Ron said chiming in.
They had no idea what was to come for the day ahead...
