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

Mail

Mikayla felt Fred trying to get out of bed, he was obviously not trying to wake her but due to everything that has happened, she's become the lightest sleeper. "Mornin' Freddie, you gotta go to work now?" Mikayla asked him in a drowsy voice as she unravelled herself from his body to let him leave, "morning love, sorry I woke you but yeah the shop will be opening soon." Fred apologises as her sleepy eyes adjust to the brightness of the Hospital Wing, "it's okay, at least I get to say goodbye before you go." Fred bent down and placed a kiss on Mikayla's lips, it was supposed to be a quick peck but Mikayla rose with the kiss, deepening it. When they broke the kiss, both were out of breath but shared a goofy grin plastered on their faces. "I love you, Mia." Fred whispered to Mikayla, "and I love you, Freddie." Mikayla smiles with a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

They heard a girly squeal causing the couple to separate to see Avery widen awake clapping in delight, "finally Fremia declares its love." Mikayla chuckles whilst Fred looks confused, "Fremia is our ship name, Avery and Ginny came up with it last summer." Mikayla explained, "ship name?" Fred asked, "a nickname from our names or nicknames blended together, Freddie and Mia blended together is Fremia." Mikayla explained, Fred nodded accepting her definition of ship name, "I'll see you tonight love." Mikayla nods a smile on her face as she waves goodbye to Fred, a dreamy smile beaming on her face as she watches him leave.

"So, what happened to you?" Avery asked the blonde who moved over to Fred's side of the bed that now smelt like him. "Millicent killed me, I was dead for 30 minutes and now I'm on bed rest for a week." Mikayla watched as Avery processed the news, "oh Merlin, it's all my fault!" Avery covered her eyes as she tries to hold up a sob, "come over here, please?" Mikayla requests, Avery follows Mikayla's orders and slowly makes her way over to Mikayla's bed, her body aching from what it was out through yesterday. "It wasn't your fault, Avery they want me dead." Mikayla begins to explain, offering her arms for Avery to cuddle into, which Avery decides to do and Mikayla held her sister tight.

"There was a prophecy made before we were born about Harry, how he has to kill Voldemort or be killed by Voldemort." Avery flinches every time Mikayla speaks his name, "what does that have to do with us?" Avery asks in a small voice, Mikayla can't remember the last time she's seen Avery so vulnerable. "Well, I'm mentioned in the prophecy, as the protector of Harry. They think by killing me, it'll be easier to kill Harry." Mikayla pets Avery's hair to sooth her like their mother had done when they were little and upset, "as for you, there's something they want from you. And while I was dead, I talked to Mam and she told me what it is that they want." Mikayla takes a deep breath as the pair sit up and face each other, Avery looked worried so Mikayla took her hands and squeezed them to give her some comfort.

"You have the potential of being a máistir eilimintí or master of elements, you'd have to unlock it." Mikayla paused to give Avery time to absorb this information, "great, how to I unlock it?" Avery smiled excited about her possible new powers, Mikayla closed her eyes and scrunched her eyebrows together. It was clear she was in distress, it made Avery nervous as Mikayla tried to come up with a way to ease the blow of the information, but there wasn't one. "Murder. You'd have to kill someone either intentionally or accidentally." Mikayla opened her eyes to see the defeated expression on Avery's face. "Two birds one stone." She scoffed angrily at the realisation to why they wanted her to be the one to kill Mikayla, "I kill you, you can't protect Harry, I unlock powerful magic and join them to be reunited with my evil parents." Avery grumbled angrily at the idea of what Voldemort was trying to do.

"Why bother try get me to kill you when I showed where my loyalty lies during Fergal's trial?" Avery asked no one in particular, "they seem to think that you'd get power hungry, and choose power over Mikayla." Charlie spoke up, causing the two girls to jump, they had forgotten he was there. "Wow, they don't really know me at all. I'm Vegetarian, I can't stand the thought of an animal being killed, killing my sister is a thought that I can't even theorise." Avery chuckled despite herself, Mikayla smiled proud of her sister taking the news as well as possible. "Since when are you Vegetarian?" Charlie asked her, to take her mind off of what they were previously talking about. "Since January," Avery shrugged, "forgive me for the lack of better phrasing but did you ease yourself into giving up meat or did you go cold turkey?" Charlie question, Mikayla snorted and slapped a hand to her mouth to muffle the laughs that were erupting from her lips. "Ha ha, but yes, I gave it up all at once." Charlie and Avery discussed Vegetarianism for a while, before Mikayla informed Avery about moving into Gryffindor tower.

When Charlie left, Avery got back into her own bed, claiming she was exhausted and asked Madam Pomfrey for a sleeping solution. Madam Pomfrey didn't argue, giving the Slytherin a cup of the potion mixed with pumpkin juice to hide the taste. Mikayla however was wide awake, she was sat on her bed with a pile of letters and parcels, all of which have been pre-opened during security checks, and Mikayla was trying to give herself the motivation to start reading them. There was a tap sounding from the window, there's a barn owl fluttering outside the hospital wing window with a golden envelope clasped in it's beak. Mikayla stood up and accepted the letter off the owl, giving it a treat from her blue bag before closing the window again. Mikayla opened the letter, hoping it wasn't another Howler, and she thanked Merlin when the letter was inanimate.

Dear Miss Mikayla Black,
        We are sorry to hear that you won't be able to attend the WWN awards due to your situation of being a target of You-Know-Who. We understand that yesterday there was an incident of malicious behaviour towards your sister, Avery Carra, and attempt on your life, which we were informed of via an Auror office representative, and we do not to put you or your family in any unnecessary danger.
        We would still like for you to be involved with our ceremony, we discussed it with the auror's who you are in the care of as well as your headmaster, and we've all come up with the decision of virtual acceptance speeches, virtual performances and virtual presenting. We are working out the kinks at the moment, but the idea is to live-stream a video of you accepting your awards, performing live and reveal the nominees and winner of the Best Band Album of 1996 award and the best Band Single of 1996.
        Even though you will be attending our ceremony virtually, we still must ask you and those who will be with you during the event to wear your dress robes, this year we are setting colours on our nominees, we ask you to be dressed in green. We ask you to participate in interviews with news and or magazine personnel, and campaigning via a single radio interview with us in the coming weeks. We decided that you can choose two songs in which you'll perform live, we must receive a pre-recording of each single to approve and play on our station.
        We spoke to your adoptive brother, Bill Weasley, he chose an intern of ours, by the name of Lee Jordan, to be our representative to present you your awards, seemingly as you are good friends with him and trust him not to put you in danger, his identity will not be revealed for his own protection also. From now on we will be in contact with you via your Headmaster Professor Dumbledore.
        Congratulations once again Miss Black, we look forward to hearing more of your material and hope you enjoy the awards night as if you're physically present.
WWN Presenter,
     Louis Hawthorn.

P.S- Hope you and your sister make a full recovery!

Mikayla shakes her head at WWN persistence of having her involved for their award show, she summed it up that they hope more people will tune in when she's involved, due to the fact she's was in the papers all summer. Mikayla started opening her letters because at ten o'clock when Charlie was leaving he found another pile addressed to her waiting outside the door. In total Mikayla has received 219 letters, 42 of them were from reporters wanting the scoop on her nominations, 166 were letters from the readers of witch weekly, and 11 of them were from friends congratulating her on her success. Out of 166 letters from witch weekly, 41 were from Celestial Warbeck super fans telling the young blonde she didn't stand a chance, 117 were from people wishing her luck and 8 of them reminded the blonde of the time she broke Harry's heart and how she didn't deserve her success. Out of 166 letters she was called an attention seeker 48 times, worthless 82 times, superficial 76, beautiful 109 times, role model 90 times and kindest personal alive 104 times. Mikayla organised her letters into piles, cause even the hate ones made her laugh a bit. Mikayla moved onto the parcels sent to her, she had received multiple goodie bags from different magical shops, hoping to sponsor and have her mention them during interviews etc. The last gift she received was from Madam Malkin, it was a sparkly thumb ring in a velvet box with a note.

Mikayla,
Congratulations on your success, I hope you don't me publicly releasing your music to bring more people to my shop, I hope you visit here when you're buying your gown for the event. Thank you for everything you've done for me and my business, you are truly the most amazing woman I've ever met x
Lots of love,
Madam Malkin x
