Mischief Managed

15

~Mira's POV~

I woke up in Percy's arms and smiled softly. I wriggled out of his grip and got myself dressed for classes. When I went down to breakfast I saw Cedric and sat by him. 

"Morning. How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling a little sore, but I need to get back on top of my classwork so I should go to classes today."

"True. So hey, my dad would still like to meet with you at Hogsmeade this weekend if you want to." I nodded.

"Yeah, but will you come with me? To be honest, I'm kind of scared to be by myself." Cedric nodded and rubbed my arm.

"Yeah I'll go with you, we can invite the others too if you'd like that." I shrugged.

"It doesn't really matter to me, I just don't want to be alone anymore. That reminds me, is my stuff here at the castle?"

"Yeah it is, Dumbledore moved me into a private room and put your stuff in there with mine. He also said there's two beds in there but if you'd prefer we can use magic to make it one big bed."

"Again it doesn't necessarily matter to me. I've kind of always liked the idea of sleeping next to someone every night." 

"We'll make it one big bed then how does that sound?" I nodded and hugged him.

"Thanks Ced."

"Anytime Bell." I smiled at his nickname for me and we decided that I would come back to the Hufflepuff dormitories after I this weekend. I stayed with one of the guys during all of my classes and then Ced and I had practice and I was kind of glad this was our first practice of the term. Practice went well and then Ced walked me back to Gryffindor tower and we parted before I said the password and walked in. I saw the boys playing wizards chess (and by boys I mean the twins were playing while Percy and Oliver were each helping a twin strategize. I sat down on the couch and just watched them until I had accidentally fallen asleep.

~Percy's POV~

I turned around and saw Mira had fallen asleep on the couch. I decided to go and tuck her into bed before the boys and I went to dinner. After dinner the boys and I were sitting in the common room talking when the question came up.

"Percy, why won't you just tell her you love her? We saw you kiss her on New Years Eve, it's obvious she likes you too." Fred asked me.

"Lads, she's been through so much. I want all this to calm down a bit before I spring this on her."

"I'm just saying, she might have someone come up from behind you and sweep her away from you. But if you know what you're doing you do it." Oliver warned me. I nodded and started thinking about it. I ultimately decided to wait it out and see how everything smooths out before I tell her how I feel. I know that the kiss we shared felt amazing for me, but what if it didn't for her? After a while I decided to go to bed for the night and when I walked in Mira was still fast asleep. I changed into my pajamas and crawled in beside her. When she noticed I was there she curled up next to me and I fell asleep with her wrapped around me.
