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

Moving

It's been two days since the funeral, Mikayla has spent both of them packing up her room. She put most of her stuff in the attic, anything she hasn't used in the last year which was a lot considering she spent a lot of time at Hogwarts. All she really kept was clothes, toiletries, school supplies, her two broomsticks, her instruments and a few things that belonged to her mother. She used the expansion charm so it would only be one box, she asked her father to do it since she's not allowed to use magic during the summer other than assigned charms.

"GIRLS GET DOWN HERE!" Fergal yelled from downstairs, the sisters rushed down stairs, there was a ministry man waiting for them in the living room. Avery and Mikayla sat on the couch leaving the coffee table in between them and the stranger, their father sat down beside Avery, and Peppy sat down next to Mikayla. "This is the last will and testament of Mrs Enya Michelle Carra O'Brien. To My husband, Fergal Andrew O'Brien, I leave everything but the items listed to others. To my daughters, Avery Imelda O'Brien and Mikayla Alina O'Brien, I leave any money left in the Carra families vault as there is no living members left. I leave Mikayla the Carra Estate in Wexford hoping that in the future she'll be able to reside there, a handmade key charmed necklace to remind her to protect her heart, my favourite blue bag so she can have everything she needs all the time and the photo album on my nightstand to help her keep her memories safe. I leave Avery everything that is in a box in my wardrobe labelled 'Avery' to remind her that no matter what she is loved. I also leave Avery my golden watch so she can remember to make the most of her time. I leave Peppy a baby blue dress that is hung up in the guest room closet, I hereby, set you free." The Ministry man read, Avery and Fergal gasp in shock over the loss of their house elf. Mikayla smiled at Peppy, who swelled with tears of joy. Mikayla packed away what her mother left her in one of her boxes.

"I love you." Mikayla hugged her sister tight, Avery told Mikayla she loved her as well. Mikayla turned to her father, "Stay safe and take care of yourself. I love you." She smiled hugging him, he nodded and told her to take care of herself and that he loves her. Mikayla stepped into the fireplace, dropped the floo powder after saying the burrows address. She disappeared in front of Avery's eyes in green flames. Mikayla slid out of the Weasley's fire grate onto their kitchen floor, Fred's friendly face came into view, "Hey Freddie." Mikayla smiled as she laid on the ground, Fred laughed lightly before helping her up, "Hello, Mia." He whispers before he winks. "Boys help the girl with her stuff." Mrs Weasley says, Mikayla notices the whole family clan staring at her, "It's fine, Mrs Weasley. It's just the one box, where am I heading?" Mikayla asked politely rejecting any more help, "Well, you have the choice between rooming with Ginny or rooming with Ron." Molly smiled, "Sorry Ron but I'm gonna have to go with Ginny." Ginny beamed and so did Ron. Ginny walked Mikayla to the room, and they spent the day moving things and unpacking Mikayla's stuff. They each had their own side of the room and the middle was their common ground. They step to the door, taking in every detail of the room, "Whatcha think?" Mikayla asks Ginny who smiles widely, "I think it's perfect." The girls hugged and before returning to the kitchen just in time for dinner. Mikayla and Ginny set the table, "Charlie and Bill are coming home for a couple of days. They should be here so-" Ginny was cut off by two loud cracks, her older brother's appeared and Ginny ran to welcome them. Mikayla finished setting the table before greeting the two boys. The two boys squashed Mikayla in a hug, "Welcome to the family." They all chuckled, "As cosy as this is, can I have a minute to breathe?" Mikayla asked as it felt like they knocked the wind out of her, they let go, and Mikayla took a dramatic breath in.

"Do you need help with your bags?" Mikayla asked looking at the boys many bags. "No, we can do it." The boys said together before flicking their wands and their trunks floated up the stairs to their rooms. "Ginny dear, can you call the boys? Dinner is ready." Mikayla followed Ginny, helping her try and retrieve the other Weasley boys who were on their brooms messing around with a quaffle. Mikayla waved her arms trying to grab the boys attention, which didn't work whatsoever. "BOYS! DINNER." Ginny yelled and in a blink of an eye, the boys had landed and almost squashed the two girls. Mikayla looked at Ginny in disbelief, who laughed lightly at the O'Brien girls expression, they walked in together, there was a seat free Fred and Bill, Ginny darted to Bill while Mikayla slowly sat down beside Fred. "Mash, Mikayla?" Fred asked trying to hand a bowl to the blonde, "Thanks Freddie." She smiled taking the bowl, plopping some mash potatoes onto her plate, before turning to Charlie and asking him if he'd like some mash potatoes. Mikayla's plate consisted of Chicken, mash, peas, and carrots. She stayed silent eating her food as the Weasley's caught up with each other. It was silent for about five minutes before Mikayla finally spoke, "How's Norbert?" Mikayla asked causing Charlie to smiled, "Norberta is doing really well." Mikayla nodded happily before her eyes widen, "Norbert was a girl?" Charlie nodded, Mikayla remembered the Norwegian Ridgeback well. Hagrid had hatched her during Mikayla's first year at Hogwarts. "What's it like in Egypt?" She asks facing Bill, he smiled sweetly, "Amazing but extremely hot." Mrs Weasley made a comment that he'd be less hot if he let her cut his hair. "I heard you made it on the quidditch team." Charlie smiled at Mikayla, who nodded proudly, "Got beaten up for it but it's still worth it." She smiled making Charlie look at her weirdly, obviously no one told him about the ass whooping she got. George explained the whole Angelina situation while Mrs Weasley, took their empty plates and brought them some cake for desert. George whispered something to Charlie causing him to nod, Mikayla gave George a strange look. "We should play a little game of possession after desert." Bill suggested to all his siblings agreed, he looked at Mikayla who didn't move. "You in, Mikayla?" She looked in his eyes, "Sure." He nodded happily. They ate their cake, Fred, George and Charlie made a couple of jokes and before long they rushed to get their brooms.
