Mirabel the Witchlet

Quidditch Time

The next morning Mirabel was released from the hospital wing and joined the trio at dinner. "Hey Mirabel here's your wand back," Hermione hands it to her and Mirabel gave a grateful smile. "Thanks, and thanks for saving me last night. That was terrifying, Ms M didn't leave me alone all night. Except to write the letter to my family," Mirabel grimaces.

The trio exchanged looks having talked about Mirabel's magic a lot last night after the troll attack. Ron being immersed in the wizarding world his whole life knew of the limits of magic, and he knew that to conjure magic without a wand was usually small and required some natural. Otherwise magic was rather uncontrollable such as young witches and wizards displaying their magic in uncontrollable instances, but Mirabel did pure magic without a wand to function it through, and effortlessly at that.

"Anyway we better eat up, we got a big game today," Mirabel reminds Harry who shares a smile forgetting about last night. How could he forget? Mirabel and him were going to be playing on the Gryffindor team.

"Yes," Harry looks up seeing Snape. "Good luck today Potter playing Quidditch is nothing compared to last night. Madrigal glad to see a troll trying to eat you isn't gonna stop you," Snape said and and limps off. Harry squints at the limping teacher. "Last night, I saw Professor Snape with a bite mark. I bet that he let the troll in last night so he could try and get past the three headed dog," Harry said.

Mirabel scrunches her face up. "Okay Harry but how do you even know about Fluffy?" Mirabel asks. The three rounded on her. "Fluffy? That thing has a name?" Ron looked shocked. "Yeah it does, it belongs to Hagrid. He keeps it up there guarding something for Dumbledore. Honestly she looks scary, but she just needs a scratch behind the ears," Mirabel said and ignoring the others shocked expressions she continues. "Besides Snape was at the banquet and Quirl crashed into me and wasn't at the banquet. How do we know he didn't let the troll in trying to do the same thing and Snape got there first being bitten by Fluffy?"

Ron laughs. "Professor Quirl? Being a suspect? Honestly that man would wet his pants if I even clapped my hands to loudly," Ron said. "Besides Snape's the one with the bite mark," Harry said. "Most evidence points to Snape," Hermione said. Mirabel shrugs. "Okay, but when I'm right I want Hermione to say 'your the smartest witch ever,'" Mirabel said and Hermione looks absolutely offended, but confident she was right as always so they shook hands on it.

At that moment they heard a squawking and everyone looks up too see mail call arriving.

Fuego drops a particularly large package with a envelope taped to it on top of Mirabel's toast landing next to her and helping the,selves to some of the remains. Mirabel looks at the envelope, which appeared much cleaner and had a few drops of dried water on it and her eyesbrows crease in confusion at the odd envelope. "Uh oh, you got yourself a howler," Ron said. "What's a howler?" Mirabel and Harry ask at the same time.

"Special envelopes that voice whatever the writer is saying in their own voice. Fred and George have their fair share," Ron explains. "I suggest you don't run from it," Neville said from across Mirabel.

Mirabel opens it and suddenly she hears her Mother's voice shout making her drop it.

It gains a sort of face and her mother's voice spoke through it.

"Oh my Mariposa! I have been so worried about you as soon as we got the letter. I want to hear back from you as soon as you get this letter! Luisa has especially felt terrible over not being there to help you. Is this the danger you go through at that school? The entire family is so worried about you now. I swear to all gods that if I hear about another one of these incidences I do not care what anyone says I will have your sister drag you out by the vines! I also heard about those friends of yours who rescued you and I am so happy you've made friends my darling girl, I thought you were making them up. Inside the package I made them gift baskets of my food so make sure they get those. Abeula says she's going to talk to Ms M about seeing how well your doing with your magic since you can't do it in Encanto until your seventeen and because she's worried about you. Remember Mirabel, me and your father are so proud of you, but please be careful, I can't loose any of my daughters.
