PREVIOUSLY:

With a sense of wonder and a heart filled with dreams of the magical world she was about to enter, Lyra prepared to embrace her destiny and face the challenges and adventures that awaited her at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Dursleys and Rebekah were ready to support her every step of the way, and her new life as a witch was just beginning.

On her last day at her primary school, Lyra returned for a bittersweet farewell. The students and teachers had become familiar faces over the years, and she knew that her life was about to take a dramatic turn as she embarked on her journey to Hogwarts.

As the day progressed, her classmates were curious about her sudden departure, and her teacher, Mrs. Briella, addressed the class to share the news. In front of the class, she said, "Today, we have a special announcement to make. It is Lyra's last day at our school as she will be attending a boarding school in Scotland."

The announcement was met with a mixture of surprise and understanding from Lyra's classmates. Some offered their well-wishes, and a few even expressed curiosity about her new school. Lyra felt a touch of sadness as she bid farewell to her friends and the place where she had spent so many years.

Mrs. Briella, her teacher, shared kind words about Lyra, emphasizing her dedication and enthusiasm for learning. She encouraged the class to stay in touch with their departing friend and wished her all the best in her new academic endeavors.

Lyra had been enjoying her final recess at her primary school, taking in the familiar surroundings and the bittersweet feeling of saying goodbye to her friends. However, as she wandered the schoolyard, she found herself approached by the trio of bullies, Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie.

Caroline's taunting words cut through the air, "AWW the wittle baby thinks it's better than us."

Lyra, with a sense of newfound confidence from her experiences in Diagon Alley, didn't let their words get to her as they once had. She replied calmly, "I'm not trying to be better than anyone. I'm just excited about my new school. There's no need for us to be unkind to each other."

Elena and Bonnie exchanged glances, taken aback by Lyra's response. They had expected a different reaction from their usual target.

Caroline, however, was not so easily deterred. She continued to taunt, "Well, you won't have your big brother to protect you anymore, will you?"

Lyra, maintaining her composure, said, "No, I won't, but I don't need anyone to protect me. I can handle myself just fine."

Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie, not used to this new, confident Lyra, were momentarily silenced. They realized that she was no longer the same timid girl they had bullied for years. Lyra's newfound strength and self-assuredness left them at a loss for words.

With a final nod, Lyra walked away from the trio, leaving them to ponder the changes in their former target. She was ready to face her new life at Hogwarts, and the bullies were left to grapple with the realization that the girl they had once tormented had grown into someone quite different.

As the day neared its end, Lyra and Dudley returned home with the knowledge that their lives were about to take a significant turn. Their rooms were filled with their new school supplies, robes, and other items, ready to be packed into their trunks for the journey to Hogwarts.

In their shared excitement, Lyra and Dudley worked together to organize their belongings, carefully placing everything in their trunks. They knew that their adventures at Hogwarts were about to begin, and they couldn't wait to start this new chapter in their lives.

After packing their trunks, they changed into their pajamas and prepared for a good night's sleep. They lay down in their beds, looking forward to the new day that would mark the beginning of their magical journey.

As they closed their eyes, they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement for the adventures, friendships, and magical experiences that awaited them at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The next day was sure to be the start of an incredible adventure in the wizarding world.
