Mikayla and Avery walked alongside their mother as they entered the platform nine and three quarters, Mikayla spotted Hermione and her parents straight away, Avery left with her dad over to the Malfoy. "Hello Jean, Richard." Enya smiles at the Grangers, they warmly smile and hug Mikayla's mother. "Hey, why don't you two find somewhere to sit?" Jean suggests looking at Hermione and Mikayla, Mikayla hugs her mam goodbye, "I Love You, and I'll see you during Christmas." Hermione and Mikayla get their trucks on the end of the train in the last compartment. "I wonder where Harry and Ron are." Hermione states, "They're probably rooming with Fred and George or maybe just Ginny because she doesn't know anyone." Mikayla responds shrugging before the compartment door opens, "Mind if I join you?" Ginny asks awkwardly, "Not at all, I'll grab you're trunk for you." Mikayla responds after noticing the lack of trunk near Ginny, Mikayla steps back onto the platform to see a worried Mrs Weasley, "She's in with me and Hermione, I'll get her trunk." Mikayla informed them and Mrs. Weasley relaxed, "Thank you dear." Mikayla smiles telling her it's no problem at all. She brings the Ginny's trunk onto the train and into the compartment.

"Ginny, I promise you that you'll settle in super quickly and we promise that if you need us, we'll be there for you." Mikayla assured the red head who was very worried about everything to do with Hogwarts, "Thank you Mikayla." she finally smiles. "Anything from the trolley dears?" The trolley witch asked, Mikayla got cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs for everyone. "Thank you, umm, sorry madam but what's your name?" Mikayla tried to thank the trolley witch, "Marian Ebenezer but you can call me Marian dear." she responded cheerfully, "Well, thank you Marian." She happily moved on, "I think you just made her day by whatever you said." Hermione chuckled, "I just asked her what her name was so I could thank her properly." Mikayla shrugged, the girls talked boys mainly, Fred, Ron and Harry. Mikayla tried telling the girls about her mother but they already knew, they were told to make sure they didn't bring anything up that would upset Mikayla. Mikayla told them how she felt and how hard it's been to except it but she knows Hogwarts will take her mind off it.

"First years!" Hagrid shouts, Mikayla and Hermione go over to say hello and introduce Ginny to the big man. "Where's Harry and Ron?" They all shrugged, Mikayla was starting to get a bit worried. Hagrid guided the first years as Mikayla, Hermione, Neville and Hannah Abbott (Hufflepuff) shared a cart ride to the castle which appeared to move on its own. "How was your summer, Neville?" Mikayla talked to the clumsy boy whilst Hermione occupied Hannah. "Nothing much just spent time with gran, and my uncle. What about yourself?" Neville politely asked back, "Spent some time at the Weasley's, and had a few friends over every now and again. Nothing out of the ordinary really." Mikayla shrugged, well she wasn't going to just spill her heart out to Neville about her mam, she needed to be strong for her. "You haven't seen Harry or Ron have you?" Mikayla furthered the questioning to which Neville responded with a no. They came to a stop and made their way up to the main hall for the start-of-term feast, after the sorting and singing everyone dug in. Snape disappeared from his seat and Mikayla had a horrible sinking feeling it had something to do with the boys. She informs Hermione of her thoughts who agrees it must be when Dumbledore and McGonagall leave shortly after. "Enjoying the feast, Gin?" Mikayla tried to focus on something else, "Yeah, the food here is amazing!" Ginny looks at Mikayla's empty plate, "Harry and Ron will be fine, now eat." Ginny said in a motherly tone making Mikayla smile yet felt overall sad.

Mikayla eventually started eating food and once she started, she didn't stop until she was ready to explode. "Hermione, Ginny mind if I steal Mikayla for a few minutes?" The girls permitted Fred to steal Mikayla away before making kissing faces and wiggling their eyebrows. "What's up?" Mikayla smiled widely at the boy, George and Lee were waiting for them. Mikayla took a seat beside Fred and across from George. "You've saved me from a food coma now, what's up?" Mikayla asked intrigued, "We were thinking of starting like a Gryffindor game night thing with a select group of people." Lee began, "We were wondering if you'd wanna help us recruit or even organise it." George continued, "And since you're smartest person we know. We thought it would be easier to succeed with this idea." Fred ended up making Mikayla blush, "Technically Hermione is the smartest person you know." Mikayla stated remembering the fact Hermione got one mark more than her in last years exams. "I'll do it as long as my friends are involved, including your brother and sister." She spoke sternly, before smiling. "You're the best!" Fred side hugged Mikayla, "Why thank you Freddie, now if you'll excuse me. There's a treacle tart on my plate calling my name. We should have a proper meeting though to organise properly. Let me know where and when suits you." Mikayla stood up, and returned to the girls. Mikayla told them what she was wanted for and not to tell a soul because it was a secret society.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Harry and Ron all arrived into the hall. Mikayla and Hermione quickly moved to the other side of the table so they could sit down. "Where have you been?" Mikayla whisper yelled. Harry and Ron told the girls about their exciting little adventure and how all they got was a detention and a note home. "You were lucky you weren't killed!" Mikayla said angrily, "but next time at least invite us!" She laughed. Hermione didn't take the approach Mikayla did, she lectured about how they could've been expelled. "Hermione, continue their lecture later and let them eat." Mikayla said politely, Hermione stopped talking until they were dismissed and sent to bed. "Wattlebird." Hermione took a breath before storming off to bed. "I should go make sure she's ok. All fun and games set aside we were really worried about you since leaving the London and for you to waltz in talk proudly of your adventure must've struck a nerve for her." Mikayla explained a possible reason as to why Hermione might be so upset. Mikayla hugs the boys goodnight, before following Hermione into the dorms. "Hey, 'Mione. Come sit on my bed and we can talk about it." Mikayla smiled sadly, Hermione sat on Mikayla's bed across from Mikayla who closed the curtains and put a silencing charm on the four-poster.

The girls spent an hour just talking, turns out why Hermione was upset was the exact reason Mikayla told the boys. "If Draco wouldn't of dare us to snog, I'd be over this stupid crush. He'd never like me, he finds me annoying and ugly." Hermione cried, Mikayla hugged her petting her bushy brown hair and making soothing noises. " 'Mione, listen to me right now. If Ronald doesn't realise how truly amazing you are then it's his own fault but I will say this, a fruit becomes a lot more attractive once it's forbidden." Hermione wiped her eyes and smile up at Mikayla, "So, you're telling me to show interest in other guys, could make Ron's true feelings surface." Mikayla nodded telling Hermione she can't guarantee her advice but she said it works 9/10 times. The girls finally separated, Hermione went to the bathroom to freshen herself up before falling asleep. Mikayla sat in the window sill wrapped in her duvet looking out into the starry night. She always admired the stillness of night, the calm of the silence as most creatures are asleep.
