Out of The Shadows (Golden Trio Era) {1}

Hiding

Mikayla woke up with a fright as Ginny had jumped on her bed to wake her up. Mikayla sat up and smiled at Ginny. "Morning Ginny." Ginny sat on the bed, "Morning Mikayla, I had a question for you." Mikayla filled up with desire to know the question, "shoot." Mikayla displayed that she was giving Ginny her full attention. "I know you said that you're never going to sing in front of anyone ever again, but, well I was hoping you'd sing at my birthday party on the 11th of August." Mikayla sighed because she really didn't know what to do, Ginny looked so hopeful but singing in front of people made her feel sick. Mikayla took a deep breath, "I'll do it, but only because you only turn 11 once and you helped me whoop Ron, George and Percy's butts in quidditch." Ginny beamed hugging Mikayla, Mrs. Weasley walked in during this moment. "Mummy, she said she'd do it." Ginny smile widely at her mother. "That's great news, Ginny." Ginny ran downstairs, Mikayla brushed her teeth and hair before following Mrs. Weasley down to kitchen. "Fred and George are still sleeping Mummy. Can I go wake them?" Ginny jumps hopefully, "Yeah, you can." Ginny runs up a few steps before turning to Mikayla, "Wanna help?" Mikayla beamed, "I thought you'd never ask." Mikayla and Ginny ran up the stairs to the wake the Weasley Twins. They entered the room quietly, "you get Fred, I'll get George." Ginny whispered, Mikayla nodded. Mikayla counted down from three with her fingers before they both jumped on one of the twins bed, "WAKE UP." They shouted loudly as they bounced around on the bed. "It's breakfast time Freddie, get up." Mikayla attempted to wake up Fred, "Ginny geroff." Fred groaned, "It's not Ginny, Freddie. Now get up, I'm starving." Fred's eyes shot open to the sound of Mikayla's voice, she jumped off the bed as Fred started to sit up. "Morning sleepy head." Mikayla winked before a slipper was thrown at her by George, she spun around to see why he threw the slipper at her. Ginny was sitting on his back. "Come on, Ginny, let them pretty themselves before breakfast." Ginny hopped off George, they walked out of the room, Mikayla called over her shoulder telling them not to be too long.

Fred and George soon joined them all in the kitchen, "Morning boys." Mikayla smirked at Fred evilly. "When are you going home at?" Ron asked, "1 o'clock. So, in 3 hours." Mikayla smiled, "Guess what boys, you were wrong." Ginny spoke proudly, "Mikayla said she will sing at my birthday party." Fred became a lot more awake quicker than he could blink, "Really?" Ron asked surprised, Mikayla nodded cheerfully, "You only turn 11 once." she shrugged, winking at Ginny who giggled remember the real reason she said yes. "Just so you know they'll be around 30 people there." George warned, "It's a life or death situation... my life or death." Mikayla said jokingly making everyone laugh. "Just to feed the chickens and gather the eggs today, but before you do any of that, go get dressed." Mrs. Weasley instructed, they all rushed upstairs. Mikayla wore a black skirt with tights and a bright blue t-shirt tucked into it. She packs up all her things before rushing back down stairs to the others. "There already outside dear." Mrs. Weasley tells Mikayla, "I just wanted to say thanks again Mrs. Weasley, for letting me come over, eat your delicious food and sleep overnight in your home." Mrs Weasley smiled weakly, "You're always welcome here, Mikayla. Thank you for taking care of Ron." She looked out the window, "Funnily enough, Fred talks more about you than Ron. Think he might have a little crush on you." Mikayla's cheeks redden, how do you react to your friends mother telling you her son fancies you. "If you ever need anything Mrs. Weasley, and I mean anything, I'd be more than willing to help you out and if I can't I'm sure my mother will." "And if you ever need anything you know where to find me." Mikayla ran out to Ginny and the Boys.

"We were going to play quidditch but you're in skirt." Percy said annoyingly looking at Mikayla, "I can change into my jeans from yesterday, they're little dirty but I don't mind. Don't change your plans because of me." Mikayla spoke at lightning speed and before they could answer she was in and out of the house within minutes in new attire. "How about we just play Hide'N'Seek?" Ginny suggest, "that's a great idea." Mikayla agreed with her, "sounds like fun to me." Fred confesses. "I'm not playing those childish games, goodbye O'Brien." Percy rushed towards the house, "I don't think Percy likes me too much." Mikayla whispered to Ron, "Percy doesn't like anyone but himself." George rolled his eyes, "Who's the seeker?" Mikayla asked. "I'll be the seeker." Fred volunteers, "90 seconds. That's all you get. And no indoors hiding." Once the terms are set everyone gets ready to hide, "Go." Everyone ran off in different directions, Mikayla hid in a bush under a tree on the edge of the yard. She laid their silently looking up at the clouds in the sky deciding what they looked like. "FOUND RON." Fred shouted keeping everyone updated what he was doing, his voice sounded very distant from Mikayla, "FOUND GINNY." He yelled a lot closer to Mikayla that she thought he was. "How could she hid so well? She doesn't even know the best spots." Fred whined walking past Mikayla who held her breath so he wouldn't hear her breathing, "FOUND GEORGE" Fred shouted, Mikayla grinned she had won. She heard them all walk past her again talking, she quietly stood up and silently ran towards them jumping onto Fred's back. "BLOODY HELL!" He yelled as the others laughed, Mikayla jumped off his back. "Piggy back race?" Fred asked George and Ron. Ron agreed to do it, "I'll go with you Ronny because I'm smaller." Ginny smiles, "Ouch Ginny." Mikayla joked being hurt. "Sure you can lift such a heavy load Freddie?" Mikayla asked looking at Ginny, "oh stop and hop on my back." Mikayla jumps on Fred's back, her legs around his waist, arms around his shoulders and her head tucked into his neck. "THREE TWO ONE, GO!" George yelled and Mikayla felt a sudden jolt as Fred starts running with her holding onto him for dear life. Mikayla shut her eyes as they speed down the yard. "Winners are Freddie and Mikayla." George announces, Mikayla jumped off Fred's back. "Mikayla you might want to get changed back into clean clothes, you'll be leaving soon." Ginny spoke quickly and sadly, Mikayla didn't want to leave, the Weasley's house made her feel at home just as Hogwarts did.

Mikayla changed back into her clean clothes, grabbed her travelling cloak and carried her stuff downstairs. She hugged all the Weasleys, "I had a great time. Thanks again for having me." She smiled at the family as she pulled on her travelling cloak, and stepped into the fireplace. She holds out her right hand that contained floo powder, "The O'Brien Manor, Galway, Ireland." She powdered hit the grate and Mikayla disappeared in the green flames.
