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

Not A Good Idea Anymore

"Anything else?" Dumbledore questioned her, Mikayla shook her head no before she remembered something else. "I know why he wants Avery," she stated this caused everyone to straighten up. "She has the chance to become a máistir eilimintí or master of elements but to do so she has to kill someone, whether it's intentional or accidental." The air seemed to be sucked out of the room at her announcement, not that it surprised Mikayla but it did cause a shiver to trickle down her back. Most people turned to look over at the sleeping Slytherin, who hasn't awoken since she was attacked by Bulstrode early that day. 

"No one says a word to her." Dumbledore began, but Mikayla quickly fought him on it. "She has a right to know why they're torturing her and want her to kill me." Mikayla states, Dumbledore's eyes widen as he looks at the blonde surprised she'd argue with him. The room fell silent, Ron was the next person to speak up, "what if she starts to blame Mikayla to being tortured? Brainwashing her to think Mikayla is her enemy, push her to do what they want." This theory had stunned Dumbledore, he hadn't thought of it that way. He thought if Avery didn't know, she wouldn't be tempted to kill someone to achieve more power. "Okay, Mikayla will tell her." Dumbledore decided.

"What time is it?" The blonde questions, Hermione informs her that it is 7:30. "I'm supposed to tutor Neville in five minutes." Mikayla rambled out and attempted to get up out of bed but was stopped by Fred, Bill and Charlie, "Merlin, you're strong." Charlie mumbles as the blonde continues to try and leave. "Miss Black you are on bed rest for the next week, so we can keep an eye on you." Dumbledore explained, Mikayla was grumbling that she was fine as Madam Pomfrey appears due to all the commotion. "Oh my Merlin! It's a miracle." Madam Pomfrey gasps wiping away stray tears. The colour then drains from her face, "oh Merlin, I asked Professor McGonagall to make an announcement to Gryffindor Ho-" Madam was cut off by McGonagall leading the Gryffindor's into the hospital wing. 

Mikayla squeaked when she saw a cluster of Gryffindor students, most she knew, some were strangers. She tried to use Fred as a shield to block her from all the looking eyes. Dumbledore cleared his throat cleared, catching everyone's attention. "Mikayla Black has been revived since Professor McGonagall was sent to inform you of her passing. Please return to Gryffindor Tower as you may realise that Miss Black is still traumatised from dying and her family are processing the shock of her revival." There was a rumble of whispers as the Gryffindor students leave the room, McGonagall staying by Dumbledore's side.

A small parliament of owls flew into the Hospital Wing, dropping letters and packages on Mikayla's bed and leaving the room. Mikayla ducked when she was nearly hit in the head by a package, Madam Pomfrey was shouting in disgust whilst everyone else just looked at the pile of stuff on the bed. A golden envelope was the last to arrive dropping on the top of the pile. "Uhh... What's goin-AHH" Mikayla jumps when the golden envelops burst open, causing confetti to float through the air, Mikayla buried her face in Fred's shoulder due to embarrassment of her scream. The golden envelop rose from the bed, to Mikayla's eye level before it shouted congratulations.

Mikayla blinked a few times absorbing the information that was just spewed out to her. The whole room were silent as they tried to process the world wind of emotions today has thrown at us. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go anymore." Fred admits in a whisper, today had scared him more than anything he's ever faced. "I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Mr Weasley, I'll send Tonks down to explain that you won't be attending." Dumbledore informed me, he turned around a left the room. Hermione and Ginny started taking all the packages and letters off the bed, placing them on the floor at the foot of my bed. A yawn escaped my lips as I cuddled closer to Fred who was nice and warm, I was freezing after dying.

"I think it's best if Mr. Weasley stays with Miss Black tonight, to watch over her in case there's another attempt on her life and to help her process everything." McGonagall spoke up gesturing to Freddie, Mikayla nods in agreement which stops the protests that were about to leave Bill and Mrs Weasley's mouths. "I'll stay with Avery, make sure no one tries to hurt her either." Charlie offers, my eyebrows knitted together confused as to why he was in Britain in the first place. "Mr Ryan gave me the weekend off to visit Mom and Dad." Charlie spoke up after he noticed I looked at him quizzingly, I nod accepting his answer. "I'll man the door." Bill planned, whilst they all knew Fred wouldn't stay awake, he'll sleep with Mikayla to give her comfort. "We'll give you ten minutes to say your goodbyes." McGonagall spoke to the room, leading Madam Pomfrey towards the matron's office.

"I have a question, why didn't you move when you realised what Bulstrode was doing?" George asked her, sitting on the foot of her bed, "if I ducked it could've hit Ginny or Ron, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened. It had to be me." Fred was rubbing circles on Mikayla's back helping her to relax a bit, she smiled up at him grateful for his presence. "Don't you ever scare me like that again." Ginny slapped Mikayla's shoulder, there was tears in her eyes and Mikayla opened her arms to offer Ginny a hug. Ginny accepted her hug, letting out some sniffles and tears as Mikayla rubbed her back soothingly, "shh, it's okay, I'm okay." Mikayla whispers to Ginny, who broke the hug a wiped away her tears, she kissed the top of Mikayla's head mumbling a good night before standing back to allow Ron to say good night.

Harry was the last one to wish Mikayla good night, his voice was scratchy from crying whilst Mikayla was dead, "I know you don't want to hear this, but Mikayla you need to start looking out for yourself. You were dead, you died, don't play hero no more, you take care of you first, other people second." Mikayla rolled her eyes at Harry's hypocritical statement, "you do realise that you're the pot calling the kettle black, right?" Harry rolled his eyes at her, "just promise me to put yourself first from now on," Harry begged her in a whisper, "I promise, if you promise to do the same." Harry nodded, they linked pinkies to cement the promise. "Goodnight, try to get some actual sleep tonight." Harry whispered as he hugged her and kissed the top of her head, Mikayla wished him a good night, sweet dreams and promised to talk to him, Hermione and Ron tomorrow about what has been going on with her lately.

Charlie made his way over to Avery, taking a seat in the visitors chair. "Do you have something to sleep in?" Mikayla questioned Fred, who shook his head no, Mikayla grabbed her blue bag, and pulled out a shorts and t-shirt that she had stolen from Fred last summer. Fred looked at clothes puzzled as to why she has them, "they smell like you and help me sleep when I miss you." She admits a blush painting on her cheeks, Fred smiles and got up to get changed. Mikayla took advantage of this, getting out of bed to enlarge it, giving them more room to sleep and cuddle. She crawls back into bed, tying her hair up so it doesn't blanket her face and make her all sweaty. "They smell like you now." Fred commented gesturing to the clothes he was now wearing. "Guess that means I'll have to steal fresh ones at Christmas." 

Fred laughed as he climbed into bed beside her. Mikayla's legs intertwined with Fred's, her right arm wrapped around his middle, Fred's left arm slid behind her neck, and she sunk her face into the crook of Fred's neck. "Mmm, I wish we stay like this forever." Fred mumbled into Mikayla's hair as he tilted his head to rest on top of hers, as Madam Pomfrey started closing the blinds to make the room darker, easier to sleep in. "Me too, I missed this, I missed you." Mikayla smiles into Fred's neck, Fred started playing with Mikayla's hair, "I missed you too, love." Mikayla sleepily wished Fred sweet dreams, Fred returned the gesture adding a kiss against her temple before his familiar minty smell lulled her to sleep.
