Mischief Managed

46

It was now time to go back home and I was sad to go but I was also very excited to start my final year at Hogwarts. Percy and I got up in our hotel in Athens and made sure we were all packed up before apparating to the Leaky Cauldron where Molly said she and the rest of the family were picking up Harry who had run away from home. I see Harry and smile at him friendly. He smiles back at me and I watch Arthur take Harry to the side and discuss something privately with him. Percy and I had been named Head Boy and Head Girl so we went to Kings Cross early to fulfill our duties to our respective houses. We changed into our robes and were helping comfort the parents of first years when the older students got to the station. I was currently helping a first year put his trunk in the luggage cart when I felt a kiss on my head.

"Love, it's time to get on the train."

I nod at Percy and we climb onto the train and start our rounds around the train. I see Harry, Hermione, and Ron get into a compartment with someone I've never seen before. He looked like a new professor but I couldn't really tell because he was fast asleep in the compartment. Percy and I continue doing our rounds and all of a sudden the train stops and the lights go out. I look to Percy and he looks completely petrified. I look to where he's looking and I see a dementor coming right toward us. I turn Percy around and we start walking towards other compartments. I turn around to make sure the dementor isn't following us and I see that thing was going toward the compartment that Ron and all them were in. I run towards the dementor and cast Expecto Patronum and I see this hippogriff emerge from my wand. I had never cast that spell before. I had only read about it. The hippogriff scares the dementor away and all of a sudden the power comes back on and we get back to moving. I go into the compartment to see four faces looking at me. 

"Is everyone okay here?"

Everyone nods at me and the older man that was sleeping in the corner looks at me strangely as I'm checking on the third years before me.

"Sir, is everything okay?"

"Yes...I just...you look so familiar. What is your name my dear?"

"Mirabella Meadow Foxe. I'm the Head Girl for Hufflepuff house this year. Ron is my boyfriend's little brother and Harry and Hermione are his best friends. I had to protect them."

"I have never seen a seventh year cast a patronus like that before. Especially not one with a hippogriff as their patronus. Where did you learn to cast that spell?"

"Well I had read about it in books and I had never actually cast that spell until just then. I'm just glad everyone's okay. I'll see everyone at the castle. " 

I left the quartet in awe and made my way back to the compartment Percy had reserved for us. I walked into the compartment and sat in my boyfriend's lap.

"How are they?"

"They're fine. That older man was acting very strangely. Kept asking who I was and how I could cast a full patronus like that."

"Well I'm just glad everyone's fine and that my girl is safe in my arms now."

I kissed Percy and he instantly kissed me back. When we pulled away I laid my head on his chest and accidentally fell asleep.
