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

Possession

The rest of the week was quite boring, Avery and Mikayla ran out of things to talk about Thursday afternoon. Slughorn dropped in to inform the girls that they were invited to his Slug Club supper tonight, since it's Sunday, they were in fact his guests of honour. Mikayla decided to take Cedric's advice, and actually attend the supper. Fred has stayed with her every night to help her sleep, although as the week began to end she felt some sadness of not having him with her every night to cuddle and kiss. When she was feeling overwhelmed, she fell into the habit of just venting to Fred and he would play with her hair or fingers. Sometimes he would offer her solutions, other times he just assured her that she's was going to be okay, and he always be there for her when she need him. Fred got two specialistic watches, like the Weasley clock, it only contained her and Fred, so if either of them was in danger, the watch would let them know. Mikayla put a jinx on the mortal peril and lost sections, to send an electric shock to both the watch wearers. It also had a gps tracker on it if need be, so if either of them were lost they would be found.

Mikayla felt more at ease that she had a way to see where Fred was or what he was doing, this way she could keep him safe even if her Aevus powers were acting up. They also adopted a little habit of reading to each other before they went asleep, they took turns each night on who would read. Fred was enjoying the books, and Mikayla believed she has turned him into a bookworm. Fred denies this but Mikayla knew he was reading ahead during his lunch break, because he had doggy eared where he last read, and used a bookmark for where they last read. Avery's become really quiet since Thursday night, she shares pleasantries with everyone but Mikayla could tell there was something that was occupying her thoughts. Mikayla decided against asking Avery what was wrong, as she was afraid her sister was going to blow up. Avery was angrier and more irritated than before but who could blame her after what she's been through.

Mikayla began to pack her stuff away into the bag that Parvati brought in when she visited Avery on Tuesday. It was mostly some pyjamas, two books and all her homework that was assigned this week, that she planned on handing in on Monday during her free classes. Dumbledore dropped in on Friday morning, he told Avery that her belongings have been moved to Gryffindor tower, she was also told the password for the Fat Lady. The girls have been ordered to stick together, as Avery and Mikayla attend the same classes, with the exemption of Arithmancy as Mikayla is in the Advance class. The girls were ready to leave the Hospital Wing after being isolated from the rest of the school for a week. Mikayla missed Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione the most, she missed Quidditch Training and the Elites. She missed Eva and her little friends, she admired their optimistic youthful energy that always lifted her bad moods or distracted her from them. She missed Brian, writing music together and just having a laugh with him. She missed Fred, even though she had seen him just five hours ago, and was already planning their date for next week. She missed McGonagall giving her a tiny smile whenever she successfully preformed a spell in transfiguration, and Hagrid who always comforted her when she felt lonely, and told her stories about her Mam, Enya.

But as Avery fell quiet, and they no longer had anything to talk about Mikayla began getting haunted by her thoughts. Thinking 101 ways she could've done things differently and maybe saved Cedric or her dad. She thought of what life would be like she had never lost her Mam, would she have ever been told that Sirius was her real father, or would her Mam reconnect with him once his name was cleared in third year by Mikayla and her friends. Mikayla also began thinking about all that she's been through, how strong she has become from being the little girl taking beatings from her step dad to the young woman who not only survived the killing curse, but was poison less that 24 hours after and was still strong.

She thought about the differences between her relationship with Fred the first time they started dating and the second time. How Fremia 2.0 was her endgame, how excited she was for the future, to meet her and Fred's kids, to meet all her nieces and nephews. She was even excited to fight in the war, to be a catalyst of ending it, by keeping the man who can defeat Voldemort alive and protect him with her life. She was determined, but she was also reevaluating her approach of her role in the prophecy. Mikayla decided to split up the last thing to learn over the next few months, learning two new abilities each week and stopping when she starts to get tired. She was upset she didn't get to celebrate Hermione's 17th birthday on Thursday as only Parvati and Fred were allowed in to visit. Fred had bought Hermione's gift from Mikayla once Mikayla gave him the money for it, he even wrapped it and he bought her a present from him and George, leaving it with Mikayla to give to Hermione.

Avery didn't speak with Mikayla as they made their way up to Gryffindor tower, Mikayla tried to get Avery into a conversation but Avery just completely blanked her. It started to worry Mikayla, she was trying to think of she's done anything wrong to upset Avery. Mikayla thought that maybe Avery was angry that she had gotten hurt because of her, that she was in fact blaming Mikayla for being tortured. When they arrived in the common room, some of their friends ran to hug them hello, and tell them they were glad the girls were okay. The girls went to the dorms, Mikayla took a shower first getting dressed into a blue sundress that sat just below her knee, she wore tights, with some booty shorts over them/under the skirt of the dress and did her hair into two French plaits (braids). Mikayla packed away her belongings as Avery got dressed, still not exchanging a word with the blonde.

"Is there something wrong?" Mikayla questions her sister as she sits down on her own four-poster bed, tucking her right leg under her whilst her left leg was draped over the edge. "Is there something right?" Avery sarcastically asked, scoffing as she rolled her eyes at the blonde's question. "You're loving this, aren't you?!" Mikayla furrowed her eyebrows in confusion of Avery's outburst, "loving what?" Mikayla asked for Avery to clear up what she's loving. "Me being here, me being in Gryffindor Tower, forced to stick by your side, and not having any of my own friends in my house. I'm enough of an outcast in Slytherin as it is, it'll be much worse if I live here!" Mikayla was stunned looking at Avery fume, "You're constantly making decisions for me, you want me to be just like you but I'm not you Mikayla!" Mikayla kept opening her mouth to respond, but she didn't know what to say.

"I'm a Slytherin, I've spent my life growing up in big manor houses with a small family, and had tons of pureblood friends, now I live in a tiny house with people I barely know, not to mention blood traitors, I am forced to live here with you and none of my friends like me anymore. You've completely turned my world upside down, I should've sided with Dad because you're just as controlling as he was. I HATE YOU!" Avery stormed out of the room, Mikayla just stared at the bed which now belonged to Avery, not blinking and her mind going haywire repeating Avery's words in a vicious loop. Was she being controlling? Was she trying to make Avery more like her? Does Avery truly hate her or was it just the heat of the moment? And how was she supposed to fix things?

Twenty minutes after Avery left, Ginny bursted into the room, "Mikayla! It's Avery, she's cornered Eva in the West Courtyard, she's knocked out Brian by stunning him." Ginny rambled quickly, Mikayla grabbed her wand, not caring that she had no shoes on as she sprinted out of Gryffindor tower and using all the shortcuts she could use to get to the West Courtyard as fast as possible. When she saw Avery standing over Eva who was shaking in fear, whilst being suspended in the air by her ankles. Ginny was next to Mikayla, "you catch Eva." And for a split second Mikayla forgot she was a witch as she darted towards her sister, tackling her to the ground causing her to drop the spell she had on Eva. Mikayla wrestled with Avery, gaining dominance as she straddle Avery from above, "what are you doing?" Mikayla hissed as she grabbed her sister's wand and threw it in a random direction.

Avery grabbed Mikayla's hair and smashed her sister's face off the ground, giving the Slytherin the opportunity to overpower the disorientated blonde. "Taking my life back." Avery hissed as she wrapped her hands around Mikayla's throat. Mikayla's eyes started to bulge as she fought to inhale oxygen which Avery was cutting off. Mikayla tried pushing her sister off, her head feeling like it was about to explode, Mikayla dug her nails into Avery's hands but she wasn't gaining any relief. Suddenly she could breathe again, Avery had been tackled off her by Eva, Mikayla took a deep breath filling her lungs. She pushed herself off the ground, dragging Avery off of Eva by her jumper, throwing Avery onto the ground as she checked if Eva was okay.

"NO!" Avery yelled, she looked like she was fighting with herself, she had her hand on her other hand trying to push down her wand that was pointing at the two Gryffindor's, "go to your brother, get him to the Hospital Wing." Mikayla whispers to Eva, ensuring that the younger girl was safely shielded behind her. Mikayla slowly began to approach Avery, those around them just watched in silence. Just as Mikayla grabbed Avery's wrist, Avery headbutted the blonde, there was a loud crack meaning her nose was broken as the blood dripping down her face. "He's in me," Avery whispers, "Voldemort?" Avery nodded, Mikayla grabbed Avery's head with her two hands, forcing her to look into her eyes, they looked identical to what Harry's looked like back in the Ministry. Mikayla started bringing Avery's head to her own, Avery was kicking and slapping her. When Mikayla's head made contact with Avery's, the two girls collapsed to the ground, Mikayla entering a familiar room where a golden door stood.
