Mischief Managed

~Mira's POV~

I was in so much pain. I didn't want to open my eyes but I knew I had to. Lucius would want me any minute now. I opened and saw-

The Hospital Wing. But how? I looked to my right and saw Percy writing something on some parchment.

"Perc?"

He lifted his head immediately and smiled so big.

"Oh my Merlin you're awake. How do you feel? Do you need anything?"

"Something to drink maybe? My throat hurts pretty badly." Percy nodded and ran off to get me a drink. Madam Pomfrey came and checked up on me. She said I should be able to leave tonight if I wanted to. I smiled and thanked her. Percy came back and gave me a drink. I thanked him and took a few sips.

"Percy, can you help me back to my room tonight?"

"Actually, Dumbledore thinks it would be better if you sleep in Gryffindor tower just to make sure you have someone to watch over you. We can share the bed if you'd like or you can have the bed and I'll stay with Oliver and the twins." I giggled at his cuteness.

"Percy I would love to stay with you. How long am I staying in Gryffindor tower?"

"You'll stay there as long as you'd like. Cedric also offered to have you stay with him once you go back to staying in the Hufflepuff quarters."

"Why do I have to stay with someone?"

"Dumbledore doesn't want you alone anymore. He's worried you're being hunted by You-Know-Who and he doesn't want you to be alone. Plus he's worried if your nightmares were bad now they'll be even worse so he wants you to sleep with someone you trust to help calm you down at night." I nodded.

"Thank you, for everything."

"No, Mira I'm so sorry for not helping you. I'm sorry for not coming to look for you sooner. I'm so sorry that I let you get taken. I wish I could have done more."

"Percy if it wasn't for you I'd still be there dealing with that torture." Percy smiled at me and kissed my head. He helped me out of bed and we walked together to Gryffindor tower where we found all of the boys. We stayed up and talked for a while until I started to get tired and decided it was time to go to bed. We all parted ways and I fell asleep in Percy's arms.
