The Hidden One

7. quidditch matches

The rest of the week went by slowly for Lyn after she woke up. She had missed 2 days of school, so Hermione helped her complete all the homework she was both procrastinating on and the homework she missed while she was asleep. By the time they were done, the potion Madame Pomfrey gave her seemed to have worn off and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next morning, the trio caught her up during breakfast on everything that happened. From what she could tell, Malfoy was still just being the worst. Lyn had a short break before her next class, so she took all of her Gryffindor courage and went to Moony's office for a talk. She knew he wouldn't be teaching the lesson due to his upcoming transformation, so she decided to go ahead and talk to him.

"You're finally awake! Madame Pomfery informed me that you woke up, but I didn't want to stop you from doing homework so I didn't come and see you. How are you?" Remus asked in one breath as soon as he opened his door to see Lyn. She could practically feel the awkwardness and nervousness radiating off of him. He also looked very tired, but Lyn was used to seeing him like that.

"First of all, breathe. Second of all, I'm good," Lyn responded, a light smile on her face. However, Remus knew that this was her way of saying she was forgiving him for now.

"That's good. I hated seeing you passed out in the hospital wing."

"It was the best sleep I've gotten since the womb so I'm not complaining," Lyn joked. Remus let out a loud laugh.

"I doubt that. You were always kicking and moving when your mother was pregnant with you. As a baby, however, you were almost always asleep. I was always warmest due to my...condition," Remus said, taking a pause and a deep breath. "So you would always curl up on my chest and you'd be out for hours. Your mum and dad-" Remus stopped short

"My mom and dad what?" Lyn asked quietly. Remus had mentioned her parents maybe 5 times in her whole life, so she barely knew anything about her parents.

"Your mum and dad could barely get you to unlatch your arms from me. That's all," Remus replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Anyways... it's the best sleep I've gotten since then," Lyn confirmed, nodding her head as if to say that it was final. She would take any information she could get about her parents. Remus just smiled and shook his head.

"You're very overdramatic. Anyways, are you going to the match tomorrow?"

"I think so. Even if I didn't want to, I'm sure Harry and Ron would make me. And if they couldn't, I'm sure Ced would somehow find his way into the common room and up the steps to make me," Lyn said with an eyeroll.

"It'll be fun! Speaking of fun, Professor Snape has decided to not give you two weeks of detention," Remus informed the girl.

"I completely forgot about that. What about lessons?"

"You won't have anymore private lessons. Instead you'll go with your class," Remus told the girl. She just shrugged, but was secretly happy to not have to deal with Snape all alone anymore.

"That's fine. When do I have the class?" She asked, sitting down on the old couch in the room and coughing as a cloud of dust rose up. It was obvious that Remus didn't use the couch at all. Remus looked at his watch.

"You'll have to ask your friends about potions, but he's taking over my class and you're about 10 minutes late for that," Remus informed her. Lyn shot up off the couch and ran out of the room, leaving a laughing Remus in the room. The room that her godfather stayed in was around 2 minutes away from the DADA classroom. The bells don't ring in the rooms, so Lyn didn't even realize she was late. Thinking she was lucky, she slid in the already open door but immediately bumped into another body that she quickly realized to be Harry, who barely looked back at her and instead kept his eyes on Professor Snape at the front of the room.
