Harry Potter and the Silvertongue's Aid (HP/HDM) Chapter 8.

Harry goes to the Quidditch World Cup with Lyra and Hermione, Lyra having gotten him tickets for his birthday, and the three of them bond even more - Harry finally gets to meet Tonks outside of the DMLE and watches how Lyra acts with her, and he grows even closer with Hermione as the two of them take a big step forward in their friendship. But after the World Cup game is played, Harry gets a glimpse of the darker, angrier side of Lyra - just for a moment - when the Death Eaters attack and it rattles something in him and their relationship. They manage to barely patch it up at the eleventh hour for a bittersweet, emotional 'see you soon' at Platform 9-and-three-quarters, and Lyra leaves him with some parting wisdom - reminding him how she got her name, and that sometimes violence isn't necessary to escape a tight situation.
