Harry didn't know what was worse, Dumbledore being dead or seeing his animated pale face in a blue orb that was being projected through his older sister figure while she was unconscious. But they all took his advice, taking a seat on either the foot of beds close by, grabbing a visitors chair or just simply conjuring a chair like Madam Pomfrey had just done for McGonagall. Fred and George arrive as Ginny searched Mikayla's bag for the purple potion that Dumbledore had told them was there. The one that could help with Bill's healing process.
Ron told Dumbledore that he wouldn't keep his appearance a secret from Mikayla, knowing how the secrets she's been keeping all year was destroying her. Ron reminded Dumbledore that Mikayla as a right to know everything going on for all that she's sacrificed for him. And for a moment Dumbledore remained quite before accepting Ron's argument. The dead Headmaster watched them silently, waiting for them to be seated and ready to hear what bombs he's about to drop on the them. His eyes locked with Harry's for only a split second before he looked away shamefully. "Right, as you all are now aware back in September of this school year, Mikayla and I made an Unbreakable Vow. Up until now, you have not known the contents of this vow but that all is about to change." Dumbledore paused making sure everyone was paying attention to him.
"After you both left my office Harry, I requested Mikayla's return by the means of speaking to her about the contents in her book of abilities. However, when she arrived alone, she decided to it was a good time to warn me of my death. Harry you may remember Mikayla mentioning that should could smell something that neither of us could that day before I told her to find the book." Harry slowly nodded, "yeah, she said she could smell acetone." Harry voiced after thinking back to that exchange, not knowing why that piece of information stuck in his head.
"Correct. Well Mikayla had read in her book that Acetone was the scent of impending death. But she did not have a date or cause, but she mentioned that Voldemort had forcefully recruited Draco Malfoy. Voldemort had given Draco no choice, threatening the boy that he would murder his whole family if he didn't accept the mission and the Dark Mark. Mikayla told me that during the summer, she had gotten a precognition and acted as she saw fit by blocking Voldemort from being able to see into Draco's mind. Effectively hiding his thoughts and doubts in his own abilities to carry out the mission in order to protect him, you see, Draco Malfoy was only recruited as punishment for Lucius' failure in getting the Prophecy last year."
They all just silently listened, not wanting any information to get lost as they needed to know to the full extent what Mikayla has been going through all year. "I asked her to predict my death. Not the killer but the date, time and location. Which has all now passed, and my killer has been revealed." His words seemed to relight Harry's anger, "yeah, Snape. I told you that he was working with Malfoy! I told you that Snape wasn't on our side. And you still blindly trusted him." Harry spat and Dumbledore didn't seem to surprised about his outburst.
"It seems that over time I have too forgotten the value of listening to a child's voice." Dumbledore tells Harry as if it excuses everything, he had told them back in third year that a child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who forgotten how to listen. But Harry swallows his anger, this wasn't about him, it was about Mikayla and the quicker they get through this the better. "After Mikayla told me everything I asked for, I requested that she made an unbreakable vow with me to prevent from anyone trying to change my fate. Mikayla refused. I was eventually able convince her to agree to it, by means I'm not proud of, reusing the same threat Voldemort made to Draco Malfoy."
There were gasps of shock and angry shouts floating in the air that Dumbledore would sink so low. "I told her that if she didn't agree that I would ensure that everyone she loved would suffer greatly. I would never to threaten their lives, but possibly their sanity." Frank and Alice's heads shot up at this, so far they had been pretending to not pay attention to what Dumbledore was saying as it didn't involve them. "How dare you." Frank seethed as he shot to his feet, Alice followed his lead but she was more upset than angry, "we lost so many precious years with our son, because we were loyal to you. We fought for you, we risked having a fate like James, Lily, Enya, Sirius, Marlene, Dorcas and so many others..."
Alice trailed off, Frank picking up where she left off, "and here you are, threatening our children to fall in line with you. Using them against their will and knowledge. Making them perform ancient magic that could kill them if they disobey you. You use inexperience children to fight your battles, and don't feel the one bit guilty when they die or are tortured into insanity, following your orders." Frank was panting with utter rage, his fist clasps. "I did what I had to do, for the greater good, and whether you like it or not, Mikayla and Harry are the key to winning this war. Their friends and families will fight by their side because Mikayla and Harry have their jobs now, and they will need all the help they can get."
Frank and Alice defeated sit back down, knowing their anger-filled words were falling on deaf ears. "What exactly was the contents of the Unbreakable Vow?" Remus asks in a scratchy voice, "Mikayla swore not to tell anyone about her vision of my death. To not repeat any other prophecies that might elude to my death to anyone other than myself. To do everything that was required of her to fulfil her destiny to protect Harry at all costs. To not do anything in attempt of saving my life or changing my fate in anyway. To not tell anyone the full extent of her abilities other than her close friends and family. And to never utter a word about the contents of our Unbreakable Vow to anyone outside of myself."
A/N- Happy Valentines Day lovelies. I hope you have a good love filled day.
