Lindsey Tonks appears to be a normal, almost invisible Hogwarts student, but underneath her is someone far from normal. What the world doesn't know is that Lindsey is the daughter of two well-known imprisoned Death Eaters, and has an identity she must hide from the world. Underneath Lindsey is a girl named Lyra Lestrange, a girl who is meant to be a secret forever. But will it last forever?
*Begins in GoF and follows the series through DH.
**Will appeal to fans of the Black family! Prominent characters are Bellatrix, Tonks, Andromeda, Sirius, and (to an extent) Narcissa.
Part Four Synopsis:
It's the summer after Albus Dumbledore's death, and the whole world is falling to Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Broken-hearted Lyra, unable to return to Hogwarts, must go into hiding with her family. It doesn't last long, and eventually Lyra is faced with a choice: join or die. Lyra's decision comes with many surprises, including a new ally who follows her to the final battle of good versus evil. While Lyra's path may seem clear, she finds herself torn between two sides for the final time, and in the end, despite tragedy and loss, Lyra accomplishes the impossible...which defies all of the agreements she and her family ever made.
Three years later, the fic has been completely finished! Enjoy reading it without having to wait for new chapters. Thanks to those who patiently waited and faithfully reviewed!
wow! loved it ! i mean you managed to fit Lyra in soo well it was just amazing and really natural and i cant wait for people to react to her secret and everything.
PLEASE PLEASE update quickly i am eager to find out what happened.
Absolutely brilliant !
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really happy you thought she fit in well, because sometimes it's hard to fit her in among the rest of the characters. I submitted the next chapter...I can't remember how long ago, so it should be out quickly! By the way, I like your username.
OMG i love this chapter i love the whole scene with just the three of them it was brilliant !!!!!!
I must say i am impressed i have a fascination with Bellatrix and i love the way that you portrayed her in this chapter !!!! absolutely amazing please keep updating
Author's Response: Thank you! I also have a fascination with Bellatrix, which is why I decided to write about her. She is one of my all time favorite HP characters even though she is so evil! The next chapter is in the queue, so the wait shouldn't be long!
ha ha no it fits her character well
Author's Response: I think so, too. She's supposed to be a good split between dark and light at this point.
loved it especially the part with Snape you could tell that he was really trying to bring out the the Bellatrix in her.
I was wondering because Lyra keeps using the unforgivable curse will she have a change of heart and reunite with her parents ?
Author's Response: Thanks! I can't say much about your second comment other than you'll see her struggle with dark and light throughout the whole story! We definitely haven't seen the last of her parents, but what Lyra will do when she meets them again is...well, there's quite a twist involved...
arrr i like it contact with the Slytherin's the dark side is coming out :D
Nott and Lyra !!!!! i did not see that coming but a nice twist please update so that i can keep reading
Author's Response: I know it was surprising, but I'm happy you thought it was a good twist! I promise to update soon! Stay tuned to see what happens with this :)
ha ha thanks the user name represents my obsession with Bellatrix i absolutely love her character.
Author's Response: So do I! She's evil and killed Sirius, but I became obsessed with her after the 5th movie, during which Helena Bonham Carter portrayed her excellently!
i no i no Helena is amazing ! i'm so glad that she got to play her in the end
Author's Response: Me too! She is absolutely perfect! She did just as well in HBP.
yea ! : ) just what i've been waiting for i'm glad that you didn't make it mushy between them, i mean like them falling for each other and that because i really don't see Lyra doing that. I hope the updates are not too long but school comes first and i no what you mean about the work.
Author's Response: I've actually submitted the next chapter already, since it's a weekend, so I hope that won't take too long to get out. You're right about Lyra not wanting to fall for anyone, so she's being really resistant right now. It's not mushy...yet...but I think you may be surprised at what will happen. Hopefully that's a good thing :)
yea i watched it tonight she was amazing in HBP but i expected nothing less.
Author's Response: Same here :)
oh no major cliffhanger, quick! update i'm hanging on the edge here!
Love it and the way you have shown Bellatrix in a more softer light but not to much wouldn't want to ruin her born a death eater reputation!
(excuse my constant use of exclamation marks i've been doing it a lot lately force of habit)
Author's Response: Thanks! I really do believe Bella can have a soft side. This will be shown more, although she won't be too soft by any means, because I get what you're saying--she was born a Death Eater.
wow this is fantastic but hurry i'll keep looking for the next chapter i can't wait until bella gets out will lyra meet her ?
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm preparing the next chapter for submission right now. I can't answer your question yet, but I will say that you'll find out soon!
wow! you did update fast i mean i was just reviewing for the previous chapter like 5 minutes ago.
They definitely get better as they go along although i wish that Bella was closer to her sisters a little longer.
Author's Response: I was just as surprised! Usually it takes a week or two for a chapter to be validated but this one was approved after being in the queue for about two hours or so. I wish Bella could have been closer to them longer, too, but when Andromeda got with Ted it had to end between her and Bella. Although, as you know, she is still close to Narcissa. She drifted apart from them during the years she dated Rodolphus, but she stuck with Narcissa and would have stuck with Andromeda if it hadn't been for Ted.
yeaaaaa finally she has met narcissa good i have been waiting for this i like her constant use of using the unforgivable curse very good
Author's Response: Thanks! Many people don't like how she uses a lot of Crucios but I kind of like it because I think it rounds out the story well...I mean, she has to have some dark and some light in her. I don't feel so crazy now that I know I'm not the only one who likes this part of the story (I swear I'm not twisted!).
ahhhhh yes tonks and lupin love the chapter but i cant help but think that half of Lyra is ok with Remus yet the Lestrange in her says its wrong i dont maybe its just me.
Great story update soon i want to see what happens next
Author's Response:
Yes, the Remus and Tonks chapter :) You will find out what Lyra thinks of Remus (most of it will come later on) but for now I can say that she thinks he's a good man but absolutely wrong for her cousin because of his werewolf condition! I plan on updating soon!
wow very unexpected but good, i cant wait for the Nott problem to come it is intriguing. I was hoping that Lyra would embrace the dark side more instead of trying to challenge the anger in another way but i may be wrong. Please update soon
Author's Response: Lyra's dark side hasn't faded entirely. You'll see more of Nott in the next chapter! Hopefully it will be out soon. Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Lyra's dark side hasn't faded entirely. You'll see more of Nott in the next chapter! Hopefully it will be out soon. Thanks for the review!
ahhh i love it ! it was utterly fantastic i really want the next chapter now i want to know how people are going to react to it all :)
Author's Response: Haha, thanks! I'll get the next chapter out when I can. It's a very exciting one! You'll like it more than this one, I expect :)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Every student plans on making their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the most memorable one ever. Eight in particular want to make those minutes really count. Except, they each have a different idea of how to go about doing it.
James Potter would like to waltz into Lily Evans’s life and throw it completely off course. Julie McGuire didn’t exactly plan on rescuing Remus Lupin, but now that she has, why not just go with it? Marlene McKinnon should have know what she got herself into when she kissed Sirius Black the first time, but that boy has a way of knocking her senseless. Emmeline Vance had planned to just sit back and watch it all happen, until Roxanna Louchester, her ex-friend, barged in and turned everything upside down.
Suddenly they’ve gone from only wanting the most memorable year, to achieving it. It’s a year of love and lust. It’s a year of tears and fights. It’s a year of finding yourself. It’s a year of learning to lose. It’s a year that none of them are likely to forget.
i love it
so different and it actually seems the real thing like this is how people would have reacted to it
please write another chapter i want to see what happens to lily and james
i dont like this Roxie girl she confuses me, i mean i cant categorize her so i find it difficult to understand her ! the rest was good though :D
Another amazing chapter !

THIS IS SO FUNNY I CANT WAIT TO READ THE REST I WONDER WHAT HAPPENS WITH SIRIUS AND MADELINE AND REMUS AND ELLEN
