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

Séanie

It took a while to search the house, but most of their belongings were now ruined, and no matter how many repairing charms they used nothing could save them. "I'm going to head home..." Remus after he saw the Weasleys all get ready to apparate to the Manor. "Where's home?" Harry asked him curiously, Remus didn't seem too comfortable with Harry's follow up question. "I'm in between places right now, I was just going to find somewhere for the night while you all get settled in." Mikayla scoffed and rolled her eyes at Remus' wording. "You're staying in the Manor too, there's going to be a target on your back for coming to our aid plus there's loads of room."

Remus shook his head no, reminding Mikayla of his condition and that a full moon will be arriving shortly. "Moony, stay tonight and we can make some permanent plans tomorrow, okay?" Remus reluctantly gave in to Mikayla's plans knowing that the girl has inherited Sirius' stubbornness and Enya's caring heart. "Everyone remember where we're going?" Everyone nodded, and those who were underage partnered up with someone who could legally apparate. Mikayla ensuring to link up with Lupin to make sure he doesn't try to just apparate anywhere.

The group apparated to just outside the Manor door, Mikayla told everyone to head inside whilst she went to see Pádraig and Annabeth. Mikayla hurried to the groundskeeper's house aka the Murray's household. Mikayla beamed brightly as Pádraig opened the door and greeted her just like he did all those month ago. "Mikayla!" Mikayla was surprised by the familiar male voice that she hadn't heard in years, she pulled away from Pádraig just in time for Séan to pull her into a hug. Mikayla had a massive smile as she hugged the older boy back, Séan is eight years older than Mikayla, "Merlin Séanie, I haven't seen you in years." Mikayla chuckled as she took in the older boy's appearance.

Séan is currently twenty four, 5ft 10" with dark brown curly hair just like how his father's, but he has his mother's emerald green eyes. "Who is it, love?" A unfamiliar woman's voice calls from the kitchen, "it's Mikayla Black." Séan replied, breaking the hug and leading Mikayla into the house. Mikayla heard the same girl laugh, "yeah, and I'm Celestine Warbec-" A young woman with beautiful auburn locks and a rather petite frame, other than her very obvious baby bump, froze as she arrived in the sitting room seeing that it was in fact Mikayla Black at the door.

"Mikayla, this is my wife, Jenny. Jenny, this is Mikayla Black, she owns the estate." Jenny didn't show any sign to continue the exchange, "nice to meet you, Jenny. You must be a saint to put up with our Séanie." Séan and Pádraig chuckled at Mikayla's conclusion, and it wasn't until Annabeth came steamrolling into the room to hug Mikayla, for Jenny to break out of her trance. "Wow, I can't believe you're actually here. I love your music." Mikayla blushes brightly at Jenny's admission, "thank you."

"So Mikayla, what brings you back here?" Pádraig questions as he takes a seat on the couch, "Death Eaters attacked us at the Burrow, burned the place down..." Mikayla decided to get straight to the point, Annabeth gasped in shock and rushed off to the kitchen to bring out some of her famous hot chocolate as Séan steered Mikayla into the armchair. "Was anyone hurt?" Jenny asked sitting down beside Pádraig, "no, thank Merlin. I think they just wanted to lure Harry and I out and capture us but we had a couple of our friends that helped us fight them off, everyone is up in the Manor now, they'll be staying for a while. I just wanted to give you a heads up and pop in to see if you needed anything."

Annabeth returned with a tray of hot chocolates and everyone got one, "how did you two get here?" Mikayla questioned Séan and Jenny as the last time she was here, she had set up fidelius charm. "I brought them here... Jenny's parents were attacked a few weeks ago and we had to keep Séan and Jenny safe, we should've told you." Annabeth admitted, but Mikayla just sent her a reassuring smile, "it's okay that you didn't, I know there's been a few rumours floating around about me since Avery... I understand the lengths someone would go to to keep their family safe, honestly, I was just worried that the Fidelius charm was down. I'm sorry about your parents, Jenny." Jenny smiled at Mikayla with a small thankful smile.

The room fell quiet for a few moments and Mikayla couldn't help but feel like there was something different with the a familiar aura in the room, this something different she felt in the Romulus centre before she meet one of the volunteers. Mikayla looked everyone in the eyes and by the process of elimination, she realised whose aura was slightly off. "So Séanie... when were you bitten?" Séan froze and his eyes widened as the room became very tense, clearly there was some issues concerning Séan's condition. "W-wh... how did you know?" Séan was the most tense out of everyone by Mikayla's deduction.

"Your aura, it's an Aevus thing, I've been volunteering at Romulus for a while now and can decipher a werewolf by the aura they have." Séan seemed to relax at the information Mikayla shared, he knew she was sponsoring that charity but most people just assumed that she never went near the place. "In that case, I was bitten during the attack of Jenny's family," Mikayla nodded her head slowly, "how was your first moon?" Séan shivered at the thought of his first moon, "dreadful." Mikayla nodded sympathetically, "was it Greyback?" Séan gritted his teeth but informed Mikayla that it was indeed Fenrir Greyback that bitten him. "He was there tonight... on his way to Azkaban now." The entire Murray family relaxed at this information, clearly they were afraid that Greyback would come searching for their family.

"Do you have somewhere to transform?" Séan looked guilty at the ground, "I used the stable, I cause a good bit of damage, I'm sor-" Mikayla shushed Séan before he could apologise for breaking things whilst he was a werewolf. "Don't worry about it, we'll sort something out tomorrow to make your transformations easier. But first, would you all like to come up to the house? There's someone that might be able to offer you some advice regarding your condition." The group seemed surprised at Mikayla's words, unsure whether to believe that there's another werewolf on the estate at the moment.

Mikayla lead them up to the house, explaining how many people are currently in the manor, and that Remus Lupin has history with Fenrir Greyback too. She also explained that they lost everything in the fire, so everyone's mood might be a bit gloomy now. Mikayla walked in the front door, holding it open for the Murray's to walk in before walking towards the voices coming from the first sitting room. Mikayla cleared her throat just to make sure they weren't discussing anything they don't want overheard. She walked into see everyone wide awake, comforting each other, Dumbledore, Tonks and Moody must've arrived after Mikayla went to the Murray's house.

"Everyone, you remember Annabeth and Pádraig, this is their son, Séan, and his wife, Jenny. Murrays this is Arthur, Molly, Bill, Fleur, Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Remus, Tonks, Moody and you of course know Dumbledore." Everyone greeted the Murrays with tired friendly faces, Remus must've sensed Séan's lycanthropy because he was the first to approach. Remus introduced himself properly to the family and Mikayla quietly explained the situation, and vouched for Séan's trustworthiness. Deciding to let Séan and Remus bond, the rest of the Murray clan dispersed to catch up with the others and offer their help to those who need it.

Mikayla decided to get to know Jenny a bit better, after all the woman may be married to Séan but she's still a stranger. Jenny grew up in South Shields which elucidated her strong Geordie accent and she was youngest of four girls. Her older sisters are spread out around the world with their own partners, kids or just because of their careers. Jenny met Séan in Mexico when there was an incident in one of the tombs which required a healer and she was an expert in her field, they got to know each other and she admitted that she fell quickly in love with Séan's charming character.

Jenny told Mikayla that she is a week off five months pregnant, expecting a little boy on May 1st, 1997. Jenny has decided to leave her job to be a full time housewife, she wanted to be there for Séan and her son, once he arrives. Mikayla explained that it would be tough for Séan to get employment due to his condition, which Jenny informed Mikayla that she was aware of the prejudice against werewolves. "Mikayla, can I speak with you privately?" Dumbledore interrupted the two girls conversation, Mikayla agreed to speak with her Headmaster, letting him to lead her out to the porch.

"I just wanted to ensure you knew what you're offering, due to the Weasley's lack of funds, it could take a year before their house is rebuilt." Mikayla crossed her arms as she leaned against the pillar. "Professor, I'll be funding the rebuilding of the Burrow, I'll set everything up tomorrow. I believe we should get everyone settled in now, don't you?" Professor Dumbledore nodded in agreement, although it was clear he had more to say but Mikayla really wasn't in the mood for him today on top of everything else that happened. Percy and the Minister of Magic showing up, the attack on the burrow, Fergal's early escape, right now Mikayla wanted nothing but sleep.
