3rd Person POV:
LYNX WOKE UP EARLY IN THE morning as always, wishing her first day of the fourth year goes good hopefully. she jumped out of bed and saw her best friends still sleeping in deep sleep, she thought maybe aguamenti will do a good job rather than simply waking them up this wasn't her first time thinking to splash water on her sleeping dorm mates she did that every time they didn't wake up on the first day of school.
she searched for her wand which was nowhere to be found, she searched everywhere but there was no sign of her wand. she threw everything that came in her way, making loud noises that woke up her heavy sleeper best friends.
"if you are searching for this thing then thank me later" Diana groaned and lifted her hand from under her blanket, which was holding lynx's unicorn core wand which had a shiny pearl at its end.
"Why did you take it!" lynx groaned as she wanted to continue her tradition of soaking them with water on the first day of school. she immediately ran towards the girl and snatched her wand away,
"Aguamenti"
she spoke and swished her wand which made water pour on the sleepy girls they all suddenly shot up from their sleep except for Blair who was still sleeping in her wet bed wearing wet pyjamas, another idea clicked inside lynx's brain;
"what the hell are you doing here at this time devan!" lynx yelled like he was there standing right in front of them, Blair's eyes shot open wide. "works every time" she murmured under her breath with an evil smirk on her face, Blair glared at everyone in the room especially lynx as she knew it was her plan.
Now that everyone was awake, the race started who gets to bathe first, they realized the time and looked at each other, they all ran towards the bathroom door but unfortunately, Elizabeth was the fastest, they ran inside and slammed the door shut. lynx, Diana, and Blair groaned in defeat.
Lynx in meantime sorted out the uniform that she and Elizabeth were going to wear as the blonde girl ran inside the bathroom without taking her towel and uniform. After taking a thirty-minute long shower Elizabeth finally yelled for her towel.
"my beloved! my towel please!" she yelled peeking from the small gap between the door, lynx rolled her eyes and handed her the blue towel "thank you lynx Malfoy I love you more than I love anything on this planet" she said enthusiastically
"just that you both know we can hear you" Blair yelled from behind while taking out her clothes from her trunk, Diana agreed lynx chuckled
"My good lady the shower is all yours" Elizabeth joked while dramatically bowing they all laughed.
lynx stepped inside the shower and took a long warm shower while humming with her soft voice and using her strawberry, vanilla-scented shampoo. she wrapped a dry towel around her tiny body and her wet platinum blonde hair,
she stood in front of a sink and mirror and carefully brushed her teeth while thinking about quidditch and her being the captain. after being done brushing her teeth she took out her black pearled wand and gave it a slight flick which made her wet hair dry,
she took a rubber band and tied her hair in a messy ponytail. she wore her newly bought white buttoned shirt and black skirt which reached just above her knees, and lastly her blue Ravenclaw tie and an eagle logoed black robe.
She applied just a little amount of makeup and mascara, and some pink lip gloss to her lips. She, at last, sprayed the expensive perfume which her mother had gotten for her.

Lynx was always very perfect on time. but her lazy best friends weren't, they were making her late as always, she dragged them straight onto the great hall which caught a lot of attention, which she never in the million years liked.
"I hate you" Blair spoke up while tying her in a ponytail, they all walked to the Ravenclaw table which already had a bunch of their housemates with books under their noses.
They all sat down, Blair sat next to Elizabeth and Lynx and Diana sat next to each other on the other side of the logged table, lynx's eyes flickered to the Slytherin table in search of her brother but he wasn't there but instead blue angelic eyes caught her attention who were staring and mesmerizing her soul and beauty. Adrian smirked and winked at the blonde-haired girl who just rolled her eyes in response.
"where is devan?" Blair curiously blurted out, Diana shrugged
"idiot might have slept in" Diana stated while playing with her food
"Hey!" a voice yelled which made all of them flinch. devan sarcastic rose to stand in front of them.
"good morning to you all as well," he said while sitting down next to Blair, who was awkwardly gawking at the boy.
"good morning devan!" enthusiastic Elizabeth said, lynx never understood how Elizabeth Lovegood was so smiley all the time? do her cheeks not hurt?
they all exchanged good mornings and silently ate their breakfast in peace, lynx had some wizarding cereal and some strawberries.
"miss Malfoy" lynx turned around and the head of her house, professor Flitwick standing behind them with a bunch of small paper in his hands. lynx smiled at the professor who handed lynx the class schedule,
Lynx, Blair, Elizabeth, Diana, and Devan looked at each other and said together;
"herbology!" in sync
"with Gryffindorks," devan snorted, which made lynx roll her eyes.
lynx noticed her brother sitting with annoying Adrian Pucey and his friends when professor snape was passing them their time table, lynx and her friends talked about them having their O W L S, quidditch, and stuff as there was still plenty of time left for their first class which was herbology with professor sprout. madam sprout was a very kind lady who was always very polite to not only lynx but also others, she was the head of Hufflepuff house. they all exchanged their time table with each other to see how many classes they had together, lynx and Elizabeth had all the classes together while Diana, devan, and Blair had few classes together
· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
"you need to stay away from that git" lynx started to scold her little brother to stay away from Adrian and his friends as he will do nothing but spoil him, she had a fear that what if Draco starts to bully other children which she doubted that he hadn't done it already. they were already raised in such a cruel family that taught their children that pureblooded families were more superior than anyone in the wizarding world. anyone who was not pureblood is trash and a disgrace to the magical world, which was absolute rubbish in lynx's opinion, she did not believe in blood status. her thoughts were very opposite to her father.
"okay" Draco rolled his eyes, he knew arguing with her will led to nothing but defeat.
"yes, did you write to mother and father?" Draco hummed to what his sister asked him
"Are you both done? even Terence went to his class what am I supposed to do standing here?" Elizabeth said, lynx sighed
"bye-bye," Draco said and ran away, not even giving lynx a chance to say something to him
"YOU BI-" lynx stopped when she realized what she was going to say,
"See, let him live " Elizabeth dragged lynx by her arm to the greenhouse not wasting another minute
they all stood by each other in pairs, and all the students started to talk about something or the other. momentarily madam sprout came out and started to greet everyone.
"ah! fourth years! good morning students welcome back to the greenhouse" she said clapping her gloved hands rather cheerfully, they all greeted her back in unison and the class started, she started with a wormwood plant which was on their book's page 12. lynx flicked the pages of her herbology textbook until she could find the page. she read the description carefully, and like that, in the blink of an eye, the class was over.
the rest of the day went quickly as well for lynx, in transfiguration she did an amazing job to turn a porcupine into a pincushion and received 20 points for Ravenclaw from McGonagall.
In potions her godfather insulted some muggle-borns just because they did the potions wrong, lynx wasn't able to sit and watch the potions master pick up on the poor students so she spoke against him which was worth her detention for a week, which was worth it. and on the other hand, the Slytherins were absolute gits towards the other Ravenclaws, which included Mr Adrian Pucey who would annoy lynx after every two minutes. he would continuously stare at lynx until his friends snap him out.
The next class was Arithmancy which lynx disliked the most, numbers were the thing lynx never understood, professor vector was an incredibly polite woman, who taught arithmancy at Hogwarts. arithmancy was a selective subject, lynx never wanted arithmancy she wanted to take care of magical creatures which were taught by professor kettleburn but her father forced her to choose arithmancy. in her third year, her arithmancy grades were very low compared to the other classes. she got an A which was supposed to mean acceptable whereas here other subjects had straight O's which is outstanding.
At last, it was now her last class of the day but she had a free period whereas all her friends had classes. she roamed in the castle freely admiring the beauty of her surrounding. she kept walking around, but then she heard some faint sniffing voices which belong to a brown-haired girl who was sitting in the corridor with her wand in her hand and her head down, she was wearing Ravenclaw robes, tears down her cheeks from her bright blue eyes, lynx thought she had seen her before but couldn't recognize it from where.
"hello sweetie are you okay?" lynx spoke bending down on her knees to get on the girl's height.
"A-are you here to make f-fun of m-me?" the little girl's soft voice spoke between her sniffs
"no, I'm here to help why are you crying in this dark hallway?" lynx asked softly whipping little girls' tears. seeing the little girl cry her eyes heated up as well, she couldn't help herself she was the most emotional person who would start crying if they saw someone crying, her eyes would tear up while reading a book or thinking of her family or her friends.
"i-i" the little girl's voice cracked
"it's okay" lynx comforted the girl "I'm lynx what is your name?"
"a-ana" she stuttered
"that's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl," lynx said softly and gave ana a small smile. "are you a first-year?" lynx asked and held her hand and brought her out of the dark corridor and sat on an empty bench in the courtyard, there was no one around them as the classes were still going on
"yes" she replied wiping her tears from her cheeks
"my brother is in your year as well, do you know him his name is Draco" lynx asked softly while taking out a small chocolate bar from her bag which she stole from Diana's drawer. ana slightly nodded at her question. lynx offered the crying girl the chocolate which she politely accepted
"so ana why were you crying? you can tell me I won't hurt you" she asked
"I can't do magic, I tried doing but m-my wand won't work" she replied looking down in embarrassment "and I d-don't know how I-i got sorted into Ravenclaw I'm not even s-smart and my entire family has been in Slytherin" he continued
"you see me? my whole family has been in Slytherin for years on both sides; my mothers and fathers as well but here I am" lynx said and pointed out her robes which had an eagle symbol on them. "and about your magic, you might be doing wrong wrist movements. I am not an expert in doing magic but I can teach you if you'd like to" the little girl's face brightened up after hearing what lynx said.
"you can teach me?" lynx nodded, Ana jumped up from her seat with happiness. lynx gave her a warm smile, and ana crushed her in a tight hug. They both sat on the bench for some time and talked
"ana! I've been searching for you everywhere!" lynx heard someone yell, she turned around to see it was none other than the annoying git she disliked the most, her smile fell what the hell was he doing here and why was he talking to ana? but then she realised why ana looked so familiar, she was his sister.
"Hello Adrian," ana said while hugging Adrian
"where the hell were you? I was so worried" he kissed her sister's forehead while putting her back down
"I was here with lynx! she is very sweet and she is going to help me with doing the spells!" ana said while jumping, Adrian looked at lynx with a confused face she shrugged while looking at her nails as if nothing happened.
"well now that you got your brother, I am going to go find mine. I am free tomorrow morning I'll be there in the library at 11" she smiled at the little girl and walked away without even acknowledging Adrian
"Lynx! wait!" she turned around and was Adrian running towards her, she raised her eyebrows at him
"thank you really," he said looking at the blonde girl with softened expressions
"I didn't do it for you, besides don't thank me be there for her. do you even know where I found her? in a dark corridor and she was crying there all alone," she said
"I know I was searching for everywhere after she got sorted in another house she won't talk to me or anyone, making friends have always been hard for her you seem to be the only person who talked to her after she entered Hogwarts I don't know how you did it, but I'm really glad that someone could do that thank you" he finished and without even thinking he gave her a hug which she didn't return, she felt something in her stomach but for the first time she wasn't annoyed with him and that made her feel something weird she just nodded and walked without even making eye contact with him, on the other hand, Adrian who had a large grin on his face and was slightly pink now wondering about what just happened, he cursed himself under his breath. he walked back to his sister who was sitting on the bench and eating a chocolate bar wich lynx had given her, he sat beside her.
"I didn't know you knew her," and said while raising her eyebrows she took another bite from her chocolate
"huh?" he got snapped out from her sister whose eyebrows were still raised
"she's the one you talk about at home all the time isn't she?" she asked
"Maybe, maybe not," he said looking at her. but the little girl wasn't that dumb she saw his cheeks which were now the dark shade of red
"I like her" she shrugged
'me too' he thought
"come on now I will leave you to your common room," he said and gathered her things and stuffed them in her bag, and carried it for her. after reaching the Ravenclaw tower the bronze eagle spoke
"What falls but never breaks? What breaks but never falls?" it asked
Adrian who had no idea what the answer was looked at his sister who had her hand on her chin and was thinking in a deep thought
"Night and day!" she squealed the door opened Adrian looked proud that his little sister was able to solve a riddle which he wasn't able to answer.
"See? you are meant to be a Ravenclaw, I'm proud of you," he said and kissed her forehead she nodded and ran inside leaving the boy out all alone.
he walked out of the castle to visit the quidditch pitch but he saw some people already standing wearing blue quidditch robes, his attention directly went to lynx. she was standing there discussing some things with their team, he admired how much a leader she was, the way her hair was flowing in the air, how her face was going red due to the sun,
now her team need a chaser and a beater as their last players graduated Hogwarts last year. lynx was standing there with her new nimbus 2000 which was the fastest broom. she yelled at them to concentrate and they all flew in the air and surfed on their brooms altogether. Adrian watched them all carefully. he saw roger Davis the fellow Ravenclaw chaser approaching him.
"pucey," he said bitterly with a fake smile
"Davis" Adrian spoke his eyes still didn't leave lynx "good practice?" he asked with a smirk formed on his face, Roger opened his mouth to reply but got cut off by him "I don't care anyways" with his famous smirk laid on his lips
"do you need anything or you are here just to gawk at lynx?" roger snapped back with a fake smile. adrian just glared at the boy and walked away bumping his shoulder into his very painfully.
