The Secrets of The Sighted (Golden Trio Era) {3}

Cursed Choice

Mikayla's POV

"Darling, you've got a choice to make." I look at my mom in confusion, I see her wearing the dress she was buried in, I looked down to see I'm still in my uniform, "I'm dead?" I questioned looking at my mother to confirm this, "not yet." This didn't comfort me at all and my first thought was 'are my friends okay?' "they're fine." I look at my mother stunned that she could hear my thoughts. "Where am I?" I question as I stood up, looking around the white room but I immediately recognise that I'm in a karst version of the entrance of the twins flat. "Where the owner of your heart lives." I smile lightly, but it faltered when I realised that Fred would hear the news soon. "What are my choices?" I ask but mom shook her head, took my hand, she was freezing and led me into the flat.

When we walked into the living room, Cedric was sat on Fred and George's couch. "It's not your fault Ayla, me dying isn't your fault." Cedric states as he looks at me teary eyed, my eyes glossed over from the tears of seeing him again. He was dressed in the clothes that he wore for the tournament, "nor was mine." I spun around to see my dad, and I felt like I was going to crumble, "dad," my voice broke as I pulled him into a hug, he hugged me tightly back. "I tried, I tried to save you." I whisper to him, almost pleading for him to forgive me. "I know darling, and I'm very grateful for it." When I pulled away from him, he lead me to the couch as others started to arrive, people I don't remember but I've seen in pictures.

James and Lily Potter greeted me with a tight hug, "hello love, thank you for helping Harry." Lily whispered, "yeah, and maybe fail an exam once in a while, I'm tired of Padfoot rubbing in how smart you are." Lily elbowed James as I chuckled lightly, "Harry's just as smart as me, he's just lazy like his father and godfather," The women laugh as another blonde woman approached me, "Marlene?" I ask the woman who nods excited, scooping me up in a hug, "oh yes hello, I can't believe you know me." Marlene gasps as she hugs me tighter. "Marlene, let her go before you kill her again!" I heard a familiar voice, "Alina." I beam as I hugged her, she awkwardly pats my head.

"Okay, this is really strange." James comments looking around the flat, I nod in agreement. "So is this like an intervention where you tell me how much I've screwed up and how to fix it?" I ask looking mostly at Alina, as I know that she would have the most information about this stuff. "No, this is what I call the crossing. You can either go back the way you came or continue forward." Alina explains, "so I could go back to living or I could selfishly end all my suffering now?" I ask her to which she nods. "We won't blame you if you don't want to go back." Lily states, I know her mind is on Harry and my role in the prophecy. "No, we all know I'm going back. There's a lot that needs to be changed, and I'm the one to change it." I shrug casually which makes everyone smile at me.

"Mikayla, if you're to go back, something will change this time. Last time you evaded death, you were given Anxietas. This time you won't be so lucky." Alina warned me, I stood up from the couch, as I needed to move cause I could feel myself losing feeling. "Yeah, cause I've been so lucky up till now." I gesture to the room of dead family and friends, Alina rolls her eyes as my dad and James snicker. "Go on, tell me my next curse." I gesture to Alina, "every child you birth will be an Aevus Seer until they birth their own children, who will also be Aevus, then their Aevus powers will be taken away." I nod that doesn't sound too bad actually, "what about me? Will my Aevus powers leave when I give birth to my children?" Alina nodded.

I won't need them after Harry is safe, so I shrug, "I'm okay with that. Will I lose them after my first child or after all my kids are born?" This peaked my dad's interest, "how many kids are you planning on having?" "I don't know, around 8." I respond casually, looking at Alina to answer my question. "After the last one is born, which will be the spring of 2012." My eyes widen, geez I knew I wanted a ton of kids but to be popping them out for 13 years seems a lot, since Enya was born in '99 if she was 5 in '04. I look over to see James and my dad, holding onto each other crying, "she's not naming the eight of them Sirius James Black." Mom scolds them making me laugh, "I most certainly am not. The first boy will be named after the Weasleys and Dad, and another will have James as one of their middle names." Sirius beams wiping away his fake tears, so do James and Lily at the news.

"Any questions for us?" Mom asked, I bit my lip as I look at them all, "were you in pain?" They all shook their heads no, allow a sigh of relief to leave my lips. "Do you know what Voldemort wants Avery?" Mom nodded, "she carries the genes of a máistir eilimintí, but she has to unlock it by killing someone, intentionally or accidentally." I bit my lip anxiously, at least I know where to start my research. "Any advice for me?" Cedric cleared his throat causing everyone to look over at him, "keep an eye on Malfoy and Harry. Oh and go to Slughorn's suppers." I groan at the last piece of advice, "but all he wants is to collect me like a medal." "So?" Marlene questioned, "I'm not a medal, I'm a trophy." I flip my hair sassily, Sirius and James cheer, both of them jumping up and giving me an approving hug. I got a sharp pain in my head, I flinched as Alina asked me once again whether I wanted to live or die. "Live." I shout at her, and she tells me to run back through the door I came in.

3rd Person POV

Mikayla shot up in the bed, causing the crying visitors to freeze in shock, as Mikayla is trying to catch her breath. Mikayla blinks away her tears to see the Weasleys' and all her friends frozen, hugging each other as tears trailed down their faces. "Is everyone okay?" she look scanning the room, seeing no sign of Harry, "where's Harry? Is he okay?" Mikayla questioned but everyone was still in shock. The sound of the door flying open caused everyone to unfreeze, as Dumbledore came into view looking astonished at Mikayla sitting up looking back at him. "What's going on? Where's Harry? Is he safe?" Mikayla began to panic, "Harry's in his room, grieving your death." Dumbledore explained nonchalantly, "my death? What?" Mikayla pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming but hissed from the pain.

Then it must've sunk into everyone that this wasn't a figment of their imagination. Fred the first to move to pull Mikayla into passionate kiss, which she returned once she recovered from the surprise of it. She was then pulled in all directions to give people hugs. "Dobby, stop. I told you to leave me al- Mikayla?" Harry froze as he looked at me before a big goofy grin played on his face, resembling one his father wore, pulling the blonde into suffocating hug. "I thought you were dead, you scared the crap out of me." Harry whispered as Mikayla sniffled holding onto him tightly. "Care to explain Miss Black why you've been dead for the last 30 minutes?" Professor Dumbledore asked once Harry let go of her. "I was in limbo or the crossing, talking to dead people." Mikayla stated bluntly causing a surprised sob to leave Mrs Weasley's lips.

Mikayla moved over to let Fred, get in beside her and he wrapped his arms around her. "I had to make a choice, whether I wanted to come back or not. I was also trying to get information out of the lot of them. Dad and James were very upset that I wasn't naming all my kids Sirius James Black." Harry, Fred and George laughed at my statement, which help everyone relax a bit. "Was there a reason why you wouldn't come back?" Hermione questioned the blonde, who nodded simply. "Put an end to my suffering... But the big one was if I were to return my powers would be effected." Dumbledore drew in a breath, as if Mikayla would exchange her powers before she saved Harry. "Every child of mine will been an Aevus Seer until they give birth to their own kids, but not until their last kid is born will they loose their Aevus powers. The same rule applies to me." Dumbledore nodded appreciatively at the news, knowing that it'll be years before she loses her powers whilst Fred squeezes her hand to give her some comfort.
