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

Blanson

Mikayla left the room right after she got her second shower, and got dressed. For some reason she couldn't get enough of Fred, whenever they were alone all she could think was dirty thoughts. And for the first time in a month she couldn't wait to return to Hogwarts, let herself relax a bit, focus on school and keeping Harry alive, then she has the rest of her life to bang Fred. Angelina instantly linked arms with the younger girl, when she arrive in the sitting room. The girls chime their boyfriends goodbye, before leaving the flat and out the front of the shop. "So what's the plan, Angie?" Mikayla asked, hip checking the older girl. "I was thinking we go into Muggle London and explore." Mikayla agreed with the plan instantly, knowing they'll have a lot of fun.

The girls went to Gringotts first as Angelina needed to exchange galleons for pounds. "Can I ask you a question?" Angelina asked at the girls make their way to the leaky cauldron so they can go out in the Muggle world, "shoot." Mikayla smiled at Angelina, who smiled nervously back. "Me and George, are we going to last?" Angelina seemed worried by Mikayla's potential answer, "do you want it to last?" Mikayla counter asked, Angelina immediately started nodding her head yes, "then yes, but you have keep wanting it for my answer to stay true. Look Angie, the future isn't set in stone, it is altered by every decision we make, but as long as you continue to love him, George and you will last." Angelina nodded understanding what Mikayla had meant.

"Are you ever worried that the future you saw with Fred might not come through?" Angelina asked her, Mikayla hadn't realised what this girls' day was truly about until now. "Yes, terrified in fact, because I know what we can be, what we are and I don't think I could survive if I lost him again." Mikayla admitted shyly just before the pair enter a Muggle Hair & Nail Salon, "I thought you'd like to be blonde again before going back to school..." Angelina explained the reason they were there, "and I wanna get a manicure and pedicure." She admitted making the younger girl laugh, "okay, sounds lovely."

"I'm terrified I'm going to lose George or my family during this war..." Angelina dives right into the deep talk as they sit down next to each other. "I've lost a lot of people and it doesn't get any easier. Whenever I feel like I'm drowning in heartbreak and grief, I tell myself, 'at least you got to love them, you got to laugh and cry with them, you got to battle your demons and learned how to put yourself back together after you lost them. They gave you strength and they motivate you to keep fighting. Whether you're wrong or right, love is what makes life worth living and the more you love, the more people you let love you.' And it helps me keep going, fear of losing someone is just proof that you love them, and that gives you your own reason to fight for what's right." Mikayla rambled and Angelina took in ever word, she felt for the younger girl who seemed to lose everyone.

A girl who continues to love and give a piece of her heart away while some pieces will be missing forever, someone who shows strength Angelina could only wish someday she'll have. Angelina also knew that Mikayla needed to get some things off her chest, shoulders, back etc. There's many times where Fred had shown concern that Mikayla bottles up her thoughts and feelings in an attempt to stay strong for the people around her. Even though he was worried that Mikayla was somewhere unknown after disappearing from Hogwarts, Fred was glad that she was actually allowing herself to feel the heartbreak, even if later on he found out that it was completely unnecessary. 

"How can you continue to love when you lose it so much?" Angelina was genuinely curious, "when you've experienced so much pain, all you can do is love because you never want anyone to feel the way you did. What Fergal did to me... losing my family left a hole in my heart, a hole that can only be filled by unconditionally love towards those I have left. It's why I'm so forgiving and will to give second chances, because I'm not perfect, far from it really but I've learned that a hateful life is a lonely one..." Angelina smiled at Mikayla who sighed closing her eyes feeling a massive weight being lifted off her chest.

After the Salon, the girls went to a little cafe, got hot chocolates before deciding to start their Christmas shopping early and splurge a little on some clothes. As they scoured the shops in search for the perfect gifts or the perfect shoes to match their new outfits, they moved onto a less deep topic as they talk about fashion. And when they made their way back through Diagon Alley to the twins shop, they were lightly sweating from carrying multiple heavy bags on their arms. Angelina told Mikayla about her decision to become a healer, the boys were sad to hear that Angie would be leaving the shop but happy that she found her own path.

Just as they passed Madam Malkins', a familiar voice sounded from the alley, "if it isn't ickle Black..." Mikayla stiffened, sending Angelina a pointed look and using their mind link, Mikayla told Angelina to get back to the shop and inform the boys of the situation. "What do you want, Bella?" Mikayla asked viciously, as she turned towards the alleyway, Bellatrix tutted at her before sending her a manic grin. "What I want is my daughter, but she's dead. She's dead because you corrupted her!" Bellatrix grabbed Mikayla by the hair, and slammed Mikayla's face against the wall. "She's dead because of what you did... SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOUR SICK TWISTED BLOOD VOW!" Mikayla yelled, really selling the fact that Avery was dead, and how Mikayla blamed Bellatrix. 

"You killed her! Just like you killed him..." Mikayla let out a sob as she remembered how she lost her father. "Awe is the poor baby sad cause her Daddy is dead?" Mikayla grunted when she was thrown to the floor, "you're a filthy blood traitor, and I'll make sure you don't forget it!" Bellatrix takes a knife to Mikayla's collarbone, carving into the blonde's skin. Mikayla tried to not scream, tried not to give Bellatrix the satisfaction but the pain became too much and her screams echoed through the barren street.

"Freeze!" A stern voice commanded, Bellatrix looked up and cackled, blowing a raspberry at the person who had spoke. "Or what? You gonna hex me Dumbledore? You wouldn't risk it." Mikayla took her opportunity of Bellatrix being distracted and head butted the witch, kicking her so hard that she hit the wall. There's was a loud crack, Bellatrix had escaped again, and Mikayla could feel tears well up in her eyes at the stinging pain of her collarbone. "Let's get you inside, Mikayla." Remus' gentle voice filled her ears, she nodded and got up off the cobbled streets. Afraid to see what was carved into her skin, and unsure why she didn't fight back from the start...
