Mischief Managed

5

I woke up with arms around me. I turn my head and see Percy's sleeping face and smile as my memories of last night come back. I sneak out of bed and cast a hygiene spell to help with that while I put on my robes. When I turn back towards the bed Percy is waking up. 

"Good morning."

"Morning, need help with anything?"

"No I'm just gonna go write the letter for Brian and send Hales out. By the way, you were right about the Gryffindor beds, they are comfy. But the Hufflepuff beds are better."

Percy laughed and I walked out of the room and made my way to my common room. When I got to my room I started writing.

Brian,

I am so sorry you had to transfer. More importantly, I'm so sorry I didn't pay attention and notice something was going on. I hope this letter finds you well and happy. Please write soon. Hales will be coming straight back to Hogwarts after giving you the letter so you'll have to use Ren for your reply...that is if you want to reply. 

I hope you can still consider me a friend and maybe we can see each other during breaks?

Mirabella

I rolled up the letter and went up to the owlery and found Hales. 

"Hey there pal. I need you to take this to Drumstrang and find Brian you remember what he looks like right boy?" Hales flapped his wings at me and I put the letter in his mouth and sent him off. I sat in the owlery for a little bit when a snowy white owl came up to me and sat on my shoulder.

"Hello beautiful, i wonder who you belong to." The owl just looked at me and nuzzled my cheek before i pet her head and left before I was late for classes.

I was walking to dinner when I heard a voice from behind me.

"Ms. Foxe?"

I turned to see Dumbledore standing at the front of the grand staircase.

"Yes headmaster?"

"Will you please join me in my office for a moment?" I nodded and followed the headmaster up to his office and when we were in the confides of his office he finally spoke up.

"Miss Foxe, it has come to my attention that you were not in your common room last night after we evacuated the Great Hall. Where were you my dear?" 

"I'm sorry Headmaster, but my friends pulled me with them to their common room and I didn't want to get caught for being out in the halls so I stayed the night there."

"Which friends Miss Foxe? I would just like to know."

"Oliver Wood, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley sir."

"So I assume you were in the Gryffindor common room with them?"

"Yes sir. Am I or any of the boys in trouble?"

"No my dear. I have observed that you have spent quite a bit of time with members of the Gryffindor house when not in classes or at quidditch practice. Am I correct on this?" I simply nodded at his statement.

"Would you like to switch houses Miss Foxe?"

"Well, you see sir, my mother was a Hufflepuff and also I am captain and Keeper of the Hufflepuff quidditch team. Being a proud Hufflepuff is my destiny. It's in my blood."

"Oh yes, I remember your mother very well, you remind me very much of her. She also had more friends in other houses than in her own. She did have some friends in her house, Amos Diggory for one." My eyes widened.

"Cedric's father was friends with my mother?" the headmaster smiled and nodded.

"Your mother didn't have enemies, only friends. She was also friends with many Gryffindors just as you are. She was also very determined in staying in her house."

"I'm sorry sir, what?"

"Your mother was asked by me if she wanted to move houses and she said no. She said being a Hufflepuff meant she was loyal and just, that was all your mother ever wanted to be. A wonderful healer your mother would have made."

"Healer? She wanted to be a healer too?"

"Oh of course my dear. She spent almost free study period with Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing during her last 2 years here." I sat there and looked at the headmaster for a moment and decided I should ask the question. "Headmaster, did you know my father?"

"Oh your father, yes I knew him and his best friends very very well. But, I feel you should learn of your father from someone that was closer to him than I. Run along now my dear. Enjoy your term." I walked out of Dumbledore's office and was met with 4 bodies asking me so many questions.

"Calm down you blokes. No one's in trouble. He just wanted to know where I was and who I was with. He wanted to make sure I was safe."

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"Yes Fred I'm fine. Now let's get some dinner."

I ate dinner with the guys and we joked around and had a good time until I finally went to bed. I fell asleep thinking of my mom and dad.
