Mischief Managed

22

I woke up the next morning super exhausted. All of the Weasleys came over to help me pick outfits for both aunt Liza and uncle Tim. We eventually decided on a nice suit for uncle Tim and my aunt Liza's favorite blue dress. 

Once we got that done Molly started making food for us all. The boys helped me pack all my stuff, without magic. It only took us about an hour to pack my stuff up. We all ate together and there was a knock at the door. 

I went to open the door and saw aunt Francesca, uncle Julian, and Lilliana. I instantly hugged all 3 of them and started crying. They all wrapped their arms around me and just held me. 

When we released each other, I looked at aunt Francesca and she nodded, almost knowing what I was going to say. I lead them in and introduced them to all the Weasleys. After introductions we all sat down and ate dinner almost in silence. After dinner and cleaning up from it we all sat in the living room and discussed logistics of everything. 

Uncle Julian looked at me. "Mirabella dear, after the funeral and everything, we will take you back to Spain with us and you will go to Beauxbatons with Lilliana."

My jaw dropped. "What? You can't be serious."

Aunt Francesca nodded. "We are serious dear, you have to stay with family and we are the only magical family you have left."

"What does magic have to do with anything? I lived with Liza and Tim for most of my life and they are....were both muggles."

"Sweetie, we are simply looking out for you."

"I have plans on where I'm living after everything. I'm living with the Weasleys."

"Dear, you can't expect us to let you do that."

"It's going to happen whether you like it or not. Aunt Liza and uncle Tim told Mrs. Weasley if something were to happen they wanted me to live with them because I love and trust them-"

"Are you saying you don't love us?!" Lilliana interrupted.

"That's not at all what I said at all. I love you guys, but the Weasleys have been there for me for so much. Aunt Liza and uncle Tim said that's what they wanted. Accept it." After saying that Julian, Francesca, and Lillana all got up and left the house without another word. I ran up to my room and I knew George was close behind since he was staying with me tonight. I fell on my bed and cried. When George came in he picked me up and held me. When I looked up I saw Percy instead of George.

"George figured you needed me tonight. Only if you want me to stay of course." I nodded and fell asleep curled up in Percy's lap crying silently.
