Hey Sister, Sister! (Cressida, Cassiopeia)

Lyra adored all of her siblings equally, but while she had a special bond with her brother, she loved to spend time with her sisters. It was early in the evening, and she had organised with the house elves to get together some of their favourite foods and set up the television that their mother had bought for them to watch. They didn't really use it often, but she figured that it would be good to have there just in case.

Her room was ready for them, and although they were usually forbidden from entering- she was the oldest girl, and therefore on principle had to have rules- she was happy for them to join her. She stepped out into the hallway, and yelled down the stairs in a sing-song voice, "Cressida! Cassiopeia!"

Lyra rolled her eyes at her sisters, both seeming so disinterested. She then smiled brightly and grabbed one of their hands in head of hers and pulled them into her room. "We have hardly seen each other all summer!" she said impatiently, "so we are going to spend the evening together while the rest of them are out." Once her sisters were in the room, she shut the door and turned to face them. "And you're both going to be happy about it," she added with a playful shake of her finger.

Admittedly, Lyra had been just a distracted as the rest of siblings, spending the summer studying and meeting up with the few friends that she had. But when she realised that Cressida and Cassiopeia were home while their parents and Scorpius were not, she pounced on the opportunity. "We used to always be together," she added, "just give me this one night of your time?" Her lips spread into a hopeful smile, suddenly worried that the younger girls would prefer to be doing their own thing that spending time with their sisters.
