Broken

the meeting

i was woken up by an owl at my window. pansy was still asleep so i quietly got up and went to the owl. the owl was dark and big and was holding a letter with its beak with my name addressed on it.
i opened the letter quickly

dear lyra

you have been requested by the dark lord at lestrange manor tonight at 8:00 it is mandatory that you, Cyrus, nova, regulus, destiny dolovhov, matheo riddle, Theodore nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, blaise, Xavier and nia zabini, pansy Parkinson, astoria greengrass, Draco and Stella malfoy attend. if you fail to do so the punishment will be severe. as well as this the dark lord would like a private meeting with you i'm not sure about the details.

have a safe travel
from bellatrix lestrange

shit shit shit i really dont want to see my parents, i'm so behind in school and if they find out i'm dead. one thing to know about the lestranges and most death eater families is they take grades very seriously, i'm not sure why but oh well.

i went down to common room and waited until the others came down. they all came in pretty much all together. a few were still missing
i told pansy to wait until everyone was there and then take them to the astronomy tower

"lyra what's this about? we're going to miss breakfast" enzo huffed

"i understand that but i couldn't risk any students hearing, i got a letter from mother saying we've been requested at the lestrange manor tonight"

everyone looked pale as a ghost except for matheo who seemed unfazed. i didn't mention my private meeting as i knew it would freak them out more

"what time?" matheo asked

"8 so i'd say get there 7:45 so that we are early"

"sounds good" cyrus agreed

"can't wait to see the lestrange manor for the first time" pansy said trying to lighten the mood

we all headed to breakfast, stella and nia left, tori and pansy had a urgent matter to speak to a professor about, xavier, draco and theo had quidditch business to attend so it was just me,
matheo, cyrus, reg,nova and blaise.

"i think my brother fancies your sister" blaise whispered to me causing me to choke on my drink

"i think my sister fancies your bother"

my leg was bouncing all throughout lunch i just couldn't stay focused or calm.
what did he want to see me about?

he wants to see all of us dipshit

"did you say something?" i asked cyrus

"no, why?"

"nothing, its fine"

what the fuck was that then.
all day i felt sick to my stomach and barely said a word, i dont mind having meetings i'm used to it but seeing him one on one wasn't done very often unless you were in trouble or had done something absolutely fantastic.
i haven't done anything 'absolutely fantastic'.
i moped through the whole day until fifth period i had transfiguration and i was sat with pretty much the whole group which meant i had to talk.

"hey lyra" theo smiled whilst putting his bag down

"hi theo" i said trying my best to seem normal

i talked to pansy in class about the rumour of umbridge being sacked, we conspired about the reason for her sudden sacking, i suspected raging bitch disease and pansy suspected that it was a cover up and her cats had killed her.
