Mischief Managed

34

~Time Jump~

I woke up on New Year's Eve in my bed. I got up and was excited for Oliver's party tonight. I went down and was met with all the Weasleys eating breakfast. I sit in between Charlie and Percy and start eating my breakfast. Once we're all done eating the twins, Percy, and I are sitting at the table with Molly and Arthur.

"Deary, are you sure you want to go this party tonight?" I nod at Molly

"I'll be fine. Oliver's parents have assured me that security will be better this year at the party. They have assured me nothing's going to happen."

"Alright but if you need to you know you can floo back home at any time." I smiled and thanked the two for the offer. After our talk I went and took a shower and then started getting ready for this party.

~3 Hours Later~

I'm sitting in my room looking at the two dresses that I'm trying to decide between when I hear a knock at the door. I open the door and see Charlie.

"Hey Charlie, what's up?"

"Hey, I wanted to give you something that you might like." He hands me a box and I open it to see a handkerchief.

"Charlie, why are you giving me this?"

"It spreads open to be an invisibility cloak. Just in case something does happen you can spread this out and disappear. Keep it in the box unless you need it okay?" I nodded and hugged Charlie. When we let go he left but not before kissing my head and telling me he loves me. I shut the door and finally decide on a dress and finish getting ready. I decide to go with a stunning blue velvet dress that drops to the floor and has a small slit on my left side. I paired the dress with a pair of silver heels that clasp around my ankle.

Once I'm ready I look at how I look and I'm highly satisfied. I finish up my makeup and hair and when I clasp my necklace behind my neck I hear a knock at the door. 

"Come in!" Percy opens the door and stops as soon as he sees me.

"You look absolutely stunning." I blush.

"Thank you. Let me just grab my purse and I'll be ready to go." Once I grab my purse we walk downstairs and floo to Oliver's, but not before we take countless pictures yet again.

We get to Oliver's house and the party is in full swing. The boys don't let me by myself for one second unless it's to use the restroom and frankly I don't mind it one bit.  We spend the whole night dancing and enjoying this time together.

When it got close to midnight the boys decide that I'll be kissing Oliver tonight. I shrugged it off as nothing until Oliver pulls me aside to speak with me privately.

~Percy's POV~

I can't believe Oliver wants to kiss her this year, she's mine. Well, she's not exactly mine, but the other lads should know I'm so in love with her it hurts. Oliver pulled Mira aside to talk with her and I just sat there staring after them. I was pulled out of my trance by Fred turning me towards him.

"Mate, you've got to tell her how you feel if she rejects Oliver tonight." My eyes go wide as I look at my kid brother.

"What do you mean?" George joins the conversation.

"Oliver's going to confess his love for Mira tonight. We don't know how she's going to react." I turn back around and look at Oliver and Mirabella and I have no words, no actions, nothing. I was just sitting there watching the love of my life with another man and I could do nothing about it. The countdown started and I went to the kitchen to grab something to drink. I couldn't dare watch Oliver and Mirabella kiss. It would hurt more watching it.

~Mira's POV~

Oliver pulls me aside and takes my hand.

"Bella, you are the most amazing woman I've ever met. You are strong, sweet, beautiful, and you make me feel like a better man when you're around. I just want to make you feel like a better woman. " Oliver pulls me closer to him as the countdown starts. "Bella, kiss me, and let me make you as happy as possible." I look at Oliver and it's like time stops. I'm looking at Oliver and thinking about his proposal but I'm also thinking about Percy and how he makes me feel. I'm also thinking about if I'm ready to have a boyfriend. I look back at Oliver and he's smiling at me.

"Oliver, you know I love you and I want nothing more than to make you happy. But, I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship. I hope you understand. I'll still kiss you for New Year's if that's okay." Oliver nods happily and he almost instantly pulls me into a kiss and don't get me wrong, it's an amazing kiss, but it doesn't make me feel the way my kiss with Percy made me feel. We pull away from the kiss and I hug Oliver super tightly.

"Thank you for understanding." Oliver hugs me tighter.

"Thank you for still kissing me." I blush and after we pull away we decide it's time to go home. The boys and I gather up and say our goodbyes. When I get back home I sit on the couch and think about everything that has happened in the last year. I smile at all the good memories, tear up at the bad ones, and curl up thinking about losing aunt Liza and uncle Tim. I start crying thinking about everything that's happened and I should be grateful to be as alive and healthy as I am but it still hurts to think I can't go crying to my dad. I wish I could just meet him. I wish I could talk to him. I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't hear anything else. I feel a hand on my back and jumped and when I turned around I saw Molly and Arthur looking at me extremely concerned.

"I'm sorry, I'll go to bed. I'm sorry for waking you up." They both put a hand on my shoulder.

"Dear. Do you have questions for us? Because if you want to know, we feel you're old enough to know." I nod my head.

"Please, tell me about my mom and dad. I need to know." Molly and Arthur look at each other and nod to each other. 

"Go put on your pajamas, and we'll show and tell you everything you need and want to know."
