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

Shut Up And Sit Down

Mikayla apparated in the bushes right beside the welcome sign of the suburban street of Privet Drive. She didn't want to risk appearing in front of unsuspecting Muggles and have a whole ordeal come out of her wanting to visit Harry. The neighbourhood hadn't changed since she was last here, her eyes scanning over the boring, boxy houses and their dull front gardens. Mikayla dusted off her outfit, making sure there was no dirt or leaves left as evidence of her momentarily time in the bushes, before heading towards the house she knew as the Dursleys'.

Mikayla saw that the agapanthi and pansies were still growing strong, and by the looks of it, were recently trimmed. Mikayla stepped under the shingled porch roof, raising her fist and gently knocking on the front door. She took a step back, knowing that Mrs Dursley would look out the window to see who her guest was before she would move to open it. Mikayla allowed her eyes scan the area around the house, she spotted some unwelcoming looking folk nearby watching the house.

Mikayla couldn't identify who it was, but she knew better than to approach them, instead she let on she didn't see them and brought her gaze back to door as Petunia opened it. "Hello, Mrs Dursley. How are you?" Mikayla asks nonchalantly, pretending not to notice the confusion and surprise on Petunia's face at her sudden visit. "Mikayla! What a surprise, come in, come in." Petunia beamed brightly as she stepped aside to let Mikayla in, once the door was shut, Petunia's enthusiastic aura dissipated as she scowled at the blonde.

"What are you doing here? Vernon will be furious that you showed up on his day off." She hissed at Mikayla, the blonde just smiled at Petunia, "Oh, he's here, perfect. I'd like to speak with your family, it's of utmost importance that I inform you of what will be happening a week from today." Mikayla smiled, passing Petunia to walk into the front room. Mikayla moves to stand in front of the boarded up fireplace, where an electric fire now stood. Harry had told her that Vernon put it in place after they returned from the shack in the middle of the ocean before his first year at Hogwarts.

Petunia seemed to think better of trying to get information out of the blonde, telling her to stay where she is and not touch anything. Mikayla held her hands up in mock surrender before folding them in front of her chest as she looks around the sitting room. The pictures framed and pinned to the walls, showed no evidence that Harry Potter ever lived here. There was no record of his existence in this house other than perhaps his room upstairs. Mikayla began casting silencing charms, as well as wards around the house to prevent any unwanted magical being to interrupt their meeting.

"M?! What are you doing here?" Harry rushed over to pulled the blonde into a hug, making her laugh as she wraps her arms around his middle. "Hello to you too, Har. I'm here on order business, how've you been? They treating you alright?" She whispered the last inquiry as she noticed Vernon's murderous glare being sent in her direction. "Yeah, yeah. Good. Happy birthday, I've got your gift around here somewhere..." Harry broke their hug looking around the sitting room, "it's alright, you can bring it to the party. Everyone can't wait to see you." Mikayla smiled, resting a gentle hand on Harry's shoulder to stop him stressing over her gift.

"Alright, how'd you get on in your N.E.W.Ts?" Harry questioned while his Muggle family just watched their exchange. "13 Os and 1 E in History of Magic, they didn't agree with my opinions on the wand ban." Mikayla responded as she pulled her result sheet from her little blue bag as Harry had wrote to her via their conversation books that he wanted to hear and see the news in person. "Woah, you're actually a genius. Congratulations. How did... how did Ginny do?" Mikayla bit back the frown that wanted to form on her lips at his hesitation to ask about the Weasley girl. "Passed everything. O's in Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, DADA, Divination and Muggle Studies. E's in Transfiguration and Herbology. A's in the rest." Mikayla informed him making a proud smile etch itself on Harry's lips.

"Anyways, let's get started, shall we?" Mikayla clapped knowing the Dursleys' patience was running low, only slightly amused when she saw Vernon flinch as her hands connected. She gestured for everyone else to sit down, Harry and Dudley share the couch, while Petunia and Vernon take the armchairs. "Harry, I'm to believe that you've already given them the run through of what's going on in our world?" Mikayla questions, Harry sighs, "I've tried, but every couple of days they decided that they're not going." Mikayla hummed disappointedly, staring at the Dursleys. Picking up immediately that it was Vernon that was causing problems.

"So, you're telling me that Harry has told you about murderous raving lunatic that has slaughter thousands of people, magical and muggle alike. How Voldemort has destroyed British landmarks, such as the Millennium Bridge, and has been actively trying to kill your nephew for years, and yet you're just going to pretend that none of that effects you? Are you really that stupid?" Mikayla pointed her rants towards Vernon, who goes red in the face out of temperament. "Now, listen here, Missy. Watch your tone with me, you will not disrespect me in my own home." Mikayla just stared at Vernon, who had gotten to his feet to make himself more intimidating. "A place doesn't give you respect, Vernon. And you sure as shit don't have mine, not after everything you've done to Harry. So do us all a favour and sit down, shut up and listen."

Vernon went to step towards Mikayla, but the blonde raised her wand at him. "You can't do magic outside of school." Vernon jeered, balling his fist by his side. Fear momentarily flashed in Mikayla's eyes as she noticed the parallels between Fergal and Harry's uncle. The only difference is she'd already been hit by now, swallowing her fear Mikayla smirked, "actually, I can. You see I'm seventeen now, I'm of age which means I can do whatever magic I want and even if I was playing by your rules, I graduated this year. Now, sit before I make you." Vernon didn't seem to believe her, and took another step towards the blonde, who now had warning alarms ringing in her head.

Mikayla casted a mouth sealing charm on the man, causing Petunia to shriek at the sight of her husband's missing mouth, "think of that as your warning, I won't be so nice if you do that again. You're only to speak when you're asked a question." Mikayla told him, moving the armchair to hit the back of Vernon's legs making him fall into the chair before putting the chair back in its original position and removing the mouth sealing charm. "So, why don't you accept Harry's information and warnings?" Mikayla ask the room, Harry seemed to watching the blonde with amusement for putting Vernon in his place.

"Well he doesn't have any proof does he? That this Lord Thingy is behind anything going on, the news says it's accidents." Mikayla laughed, she couldn't believe the ridiculousness this man was spurting. Vernon scowled at her, which made her face harden into a serious scowl. "Accidents?! It's murder, kidnapping, and torture, with the added bonus of Death Eater's divulging in pyrotechnics. Voldemort will slaughter every Muggle in the world if he can get away with it. What is it? You want proof, you want to see the horrific crimes this man has done, well okay then. But don't blame me for the nightmares that are yet to come."

Mikayla brought her right pointer finger to her head, "M, what are you doing?" Harry asks, rising from his feet. "Showing them what they can expect to happen to them if they continue to ignore our warnings." Mikayla answered as she pulled the wispy memories from her head, she looked at the Dursleys that were watching her cautiously, not knowing what she's about to show them. "Dudley you should go, this isn't something a kid should see." Harry tried, "I'm older than you!" He protested, "yes, but I've lived the memories she's about to show y-" Mikayla could no longer hear what Harry was saying as the sound of a loud crack echoed in the room, as they watched Harry and Cedric Diggory get off the ground through the orb of blue light.
