Mischief Managed

~Skip to Christmas Break~

I was boarding the train with Oliver, Cedric, and the 3 Weasley boys. Ron had decided to stay at Hogwarts with Harry so it seemed that I was going to be sleeping in Ron's bed for the break. The 6 of us got a compartment together and we were just enjoying each others company. The trolley came by and I decided to buy some sweets for the boys and the boys also bought some sweets. I'm so glad the boys accepted Cedric into our group, I was kind of weary about introducing the idea of adding a sixth member into the circle.

Cedric and I were walking to the quidditch pitch and Gryffindor happened to be practising. I saw Percy in the stands and went to sit by him.

"Hey Perc, you know Cedric Diggory don't you?"

"Yeah, he's your seeker isn't he?" I nodded and leaned in close to whisper to Percy.

"Would it be rude to ask if he can hang out with us from time to time?"

"Well I'm fine with it and I don't see why the others wouldn't be fine with it." I hugged him tightly.

"You're the best prefect in the world." I kissed his cheek and just as I let go of him Oliver and the twins flew over to us.

"Hey Mira, I thought you didn't have practice until tomorrow."

"We don't, but I wanted to introduce you all to Cedric Diggory." They all said their hellos and that's when I asked them.

"Do you all mind if he starts hanging out with us?" They all shook their heads and that's how we went from a group of 5 to 6.

Before I knew it, we were getting off the train and saying goodbye to Cedric and Oliver. I turned around and saw Molly and Arthur and sure enough Molly had Frye on his leash. I ran up and hugged the duo and crouched down to love on my sweet little Frye. The boys caught up with us after getting all of our things off the train and we went to the burrow.

"I'm so glad you get to spend this Christmas with us dear. It feels like it's been so long since we've had you over at the house for longer than an hour." Molly told me once we were at the burrow lugging our things upstairs.

"I'm always available to come over you all know that."

"I know dear but we don't want to take away from time with your Aunt and Uncle." I laughed and shook my head. I walked into Ron's room and saw the bed was made with freshly washed sheets.

"Is the bed big enough for you dear? If not you can have one of the boys' beds and they can sleep in here."

"It's fine, thank you so much Molly."

"Anytime deary. Get settled and then we can go through photo albums downstairs how does that sound?"

"That sounds amazing. Do you have any photos of mom and dad?"

"I have pictures of your mum dear, I can't remember if we have any of your dad. We'll have to see won't we?" I nodded and decided to change out of my robes into something more comfortable. I walked downstairs and saw all the Weasleys sitting in the living room looking through photo albums.

"Oh Mirabella dear I found a great photo of your mum and Amos Diggory during the Christmas feast." I look over Arthur's shoulder and see a picture of a beautiful woman with beautiful flowing brown hair being picked up by a man who looked alot like Cedric. The woman was laughing and smiling so beautifully.

"She looks so happy. When was this?"

"I believe this was their 4th year if I'm correct. They had just started dating and they were inseparable." I smiled and just watched her laugh.

"She was so beautiful. Molly, was she a metamorhmagus too?"

"Yes she was my dear, but her hair didn't change, her eyes did." My eyes widened at the thought of my mom being like me. "Arthur, do I look my mom?" Arthur chuckled, "My dear, you are your mother made over. You remind me more of your mother the older you get." I smiled and Molly and Arthur continued to tell me about my mom. We stopped on a picture of Molly with twin boys. Molly gently touched the picture and started tearing up. 

"Molly, what's wrong?" Molly shook her head and waved her hand around. "Nothing my dear, those are just my brothers." I rubbed her back and she started softly crying. I looked at Arthur and he pointed towards the kitchen. I followed closely behind him and once we were out of ear shot of Molly and the kids Arthur turned to me.

"Molly's brothers were killed in the first war against You-Know-Who. Fabian and Gideon were very brave and fought alongside some of the greatest wizards at the time. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall were just 2 of the incredible wizards who were members of the Order of the Phoenix. She doesn't usually talk about them because she never really got over their deaths. She still wears Fabian's watch to this day." I nodded and walked back out to the living room and hugged Molly. Molly hugged me back and finally calmed down a slight bit.

"I'm sorry kids, sometimes it's hard to see photos of them." We all nodded and we continued looking through photos. We saw photos of the boys when they were little, Molly and Arthur during their time at Hogwarts, and also some more pictures of my mom.

After dinner I was helping Molly with the dishes when she looked at my shirt.

"Dear, what does that shirt mean?"

"Oh, it's a space station in America. It's a muggle thing. My Uncle Tim went to America once a few years ago and got me this shirt as like a souvenir." Molly smiled and Arthur popped his head in.

"Did I hear something about Muggles?" I laughed at his reaction and nodded.

"My shirt is from an American Muggle space station."

"Oh how interesting, American Muggles I've heard are some of the most interesting people." I giggled and shook my head. 

"I wouldn't know, I don't usually go with Uncle Tim on his trips. Aunt Liza and I stay at home."

"What does your Uncle do again dear?"

"He works for a Muggle business that sells products to buyers all over the world. That's why he gets to go to so many amazing places." Molly and Arthur nodded and told me to head on to bed. I kissed them both on the cheek and walked upstairs towards Ron's room. Before I could get in the room I was stopped by Percy.

"Hey Mira, you know we have a Christmas party tomorrow right?" I nodded and smiled. "I can't wait to help decorate and enjoy the party." Percy nodded and smiled. "It was so nice to see you smiling so big today." I blushed and smiled more. "Well I love finding out more about my mom. Hey Percy, if I have a nightmare tonight can I come to your room?" Percy nodded and smiled. "You're always more than welcome to come sleep with me in my bed, even back at school. I'd do anything to make sure you're safe and happy." I thanked Percy and kissed his cheek before going into Ron's room and climbing into bed.

~Percy's POV~

I can't believe how stupid I am. Why can't I just tell her that I've had feelings for her for years now? Oh yeah because I'm scared she's going to reject me. On the other hand, she seems to spend more one on one time with me than anyone else in our group, well besides Cedric. She's spent quite a bit of time with him for the past few weeks. Does she have feelings for him? I don't know if I could handle seeing her with anyone else. I laid in my bed awake thinking about her and thinking about telling her how I feel about her. I looked over at the present I got and wrapped for her. I hope she likes it, I put alot of thought into it. I rolled over onto my side and fell asleep thinking about Mirabella.
