Chapter 15

I was forced down by Henry. I was seething. That little bitch can't just hang off my man's arm like that. "Lyra, what is up with you? I thought you said you and Potter were nothing more than enemies doing a project together." Henry asked. Shit, I forgot people don't know about us. "Right yeah. I just was told by the dark lord that Mallory's father was next on his list, and I don't want her anywhere near Sirius." I say. Henry nods. We sit in silence for a couple of minutes till Henry breaks it. "Lyra, I have a question for you." He says. "What's up, Henry?" I ask. "I know things are still rough with you and Parkinson, but I was wondering if maybe you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?" He asked. I was shocked. I looked toward Taylor, and her face was like mine. Alexanders was a smirk, and snape just rolled his eyes. Reg couldn't even look me in the eyes.

"Henry, I'm sorry, but I just don't have feelings for you like that. I only see you as a friend." I say. His face falls, and he gets up quickly, pushing the bench out from the undeath most of the Slytherin table, including me. I fall to the floor and hit my head on the back of the bench. Henry walks away without helping me. My mouth is open, and I put a hand to the back of my head. I feel a wet start to come up. I take a look at my fingers, and sure enough, there is blood. Taylor stands up and grabs my hand. "I'm taking you to Madam Pomfrey right now." We get up and walk out of the great hall. Everyone is staring at us.

I get to Madam Pomfrey, and she rushes me to the bed and checks me out. "You don't have a concussion, which is good, just a little bit of bleeding. I just need to keep you till it stops." She says, and I nod. "Ms. Flint, please go to class." She says, and Taylor gives my hand a light squeeze, then she leaves. I sit there for a little bit as Madam Pomfrey left to go get breakfast. Then the devil herself walks in. Mallory Dubois.

"What do you want?" I ask. "I know about you and James. I want you to stay away from him. He's mine, not yours." She says. I laugh. "You really think you can threaten me. I have the dark lord's support on my side. Don't want poor little dad to go missing now, do you." I say. She looks enraged. "look here, you bitch. Stay away from James, or I will make you regret ever crossing paths with me." She says, then flips her hair and walks out. How dare she do that to me. I was above her, and James doesn't love her, does he? He said I shouldn't worry about her, but I don't know anymore. I was free to go once Madam Pomfrey got back. She said I shouldn't go to classes and just rest all day. I took her advice and went to sleep in my bed in the Slytherin dorms.

I was beyond mad how could Lyra do that to me. I thought she was flirting with me last night. Do I mean nothing to her? I walk out of the great hall and down towards the black lake. I sit on a branch and pick up a rock and start to skip rocks. I need Lyra in my life. I want her to think I am an option, not something forced on her. I need to get her back for this. "Chambers, we need to talk," Mallory said behind me. "About?" I ask. "That backstabbing two-faced little bitch you've been in love with since you meet her." She said, sitting down next to me.

"What about her?" I add. "I want James, and you want Black; we need to break them up somehow, and I might just have a way to do it." She says. "And what is this way you speak of?" I asked, now interested in what she had to say. "Before my grandmother passed, she gave me lessons on love magic. I want to use it on James, but I need Blackout of the picture. I need you to do something about her." She says. "How should I do that?" I ask her. "Any way you want. I want her gone for good." She speaks and stands up. "Nice talking to you again," She adds and walks away.

This was my chance to get Lyra all to myself, and I had the perfect plan on how to get her. I smirk and throw one last rock into the lake, then walk back to my classes. Oh, Lyra, you are in for a world of the chaos once you meet my dark side.

I couldn't sleep that night. Mallory's threat still loomed in my head. I know what I have to do. I got up and grabbed some parchment. I had to write to the dark lord. I took out a quill and ink and began to write.

Dark lord,

I know I never ask for much, but I need to put in a request for the entire Dubois family's early death. Most importantly, their daughter Mallory. She knows too much.

Sincerely,

Your most loyal follower LB

Once I was done, I went up to the tower where they stored owls and sent the letter off. I sat there for a couple of minutes till I heard someone come up to me. I looked over, and I was James. I smiled at him, but he didn't smile back. "I want to break up."
