"What do you get the boy who lived for his 13th birthday?" Mikayla asked Charlie, the two have become quite close over the past week. "Like what do boys like when they're thirteen?" Mikayla asked him, causing Charlie to laugh shrugging his shoulder. "FREDDIE!" Mikayla yelled running to the boys room, they collided at the door. "Jeez you gave me a heart attack, what do you want me for Mia?" She asked him the same questions she asked Charlie. "We're going to the tombs then the market again. I'll help you while we're there." Mikayla hug him before skipping off to her room to get ready for the days adventure.

Mikayla put her hair in a messy bun, applied her makeup, put on a white floral dress and brown sandals. Mikayla sat on the couch, while everyone else got ready. She messed around with her song book, writing a song, before she felt a body take a seat beside her. "Hello George. What are you doing?" Mikayla asked as she looked at the tall red headed boy, "Just waiting on everyone else.... Wait a minute, can you tell me and Fred apart?" George asked stunned, Mikayla felt a slight sadness as she knew didn't happen a lot. She nodded and hummed. "How?" George asked, Mikayla just shrugged her shoulders, "You're slightly taller and you both act very different when it comes to me. Plus your voice is slightly deeper." George grinned widely and hugged the blonde enthusiastically, Mikayla laughed lightly hugging him back. 

"What's going on?" Charlie asked sitting on the armchair across from the pair, while Fred sat in the one beside him. "Mikayla can tell us apart." George informs him, Charlie looked stunned at the news while Fred beamed widely, Mikayla shrugged again before asking if there was any food requests for today's adventure. They shook their head but she knew today was going to be a busier day than usual so she decided to make some sandwiches, ham and cheese, chicken and salad, and just cheese. She put them in three separate lunch boxes before putting them into her bag. She grabbed 15 waters, five extra just in case and a box of apples. She then put her money, book, camera, and sun glasses in the bag. She decided to put suncream on now, her back wasn't on display today so she didn't need any help, she threw the bottle to Charlie who passed it around to his brothers.

Mikayla was examining the hieroglyphics, "Hey, Bill. Did you guys get rid of The Severed Hand curse in this tomb?" Bill looked at Mikayla confused telling everyone not to touch anything, "What?" He asked walking towards Mikayla who was staring at the hieroglyphic warning, Mikayla pointed to the warning. Bill looks at it confused and Mikayla realised he didn't understand it, "It says; Thieves beware of the hand severing curse placed upon this tomb. Stealing from Pharaoh Khufu is forbidden." Mikayla reads, Bill looked at her completely bewildered by what she was saying, 

"You can read hieroglyphics?" Mikayla nodded, "My mother taught me most of the old languages, Latin, Hieroglyphics, Tamil, Sanskrit, Greek, Nahuatl, Celtic and Hebrew." Mikayla shrugged, Bill looked like Mikayla had just told him she had killed someone, which worried Mikayla. "So you know how many languages all together?" He asked, "Well if you include Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Modern Irish and English... 14." All the Weasley shared Bill's expression now, Mikayla felt like she was a freak by their stare, Ron obviously spotted that she was uncomfortable as he told his family to stop staring at her. She sent him a thankful look which he nodded indicating he understood her thanking him.

"Mikayla!" Mikayla spun around to see Derik walking towards her, "oh hello Derik." Mikayla smiled brightly at the handsome brooding boy. He embraced her in a quick hug, "How haz yur trip been?" He asks in his thick accent, Mikayla told him that it had been amazing, she return the question to the boy, "I metz thiz pritty girl, hur name iz Mikayla, so itz been vvery fun." He smirks at Mikayla, sending a chill down her back, she doesn't know how she feels about the attention she's getting from this stranger. "That's cool. I should go, my boyfriend will be looking for me." Mikayla turned and ran over to Fred, she heard Charlie laugh as he caught up. 

"That's one way to break a boy's heart, O'Brien." She looks back at Derik who looked crushed, "He's a stranger, plus he was being creepy. What was I supposed to do?" She asked him, Fred took her hand in his, he said it was to make her story more believable but Charlie said he was just hoping to hold Mikayla's hand. "Say you're not interested in him." Charlie suggested, Mikayla shook her head, "That would've been worse than a fake boyfriend." Mikayla argued, Charlie nodded as though giving up on the whole situation.

"There's a picnic bench, how about we sit and have something to eat and drink?" Mikayla asked the Weasley clan, who all agreed eagerly to the refuelling session. Mikayla took out the sandwiches, apples and water. She grabbed a chicken salad sandwich for herself along with an apple and bottle of water before telling the Weasley's to go ahead. There was a sound of grunts, moans and gulps as the ten of them ate the food provided by Mikayla. "These chicken salad sandwiches are really good!" Ginny and Ron spoke in sync causing everyone to laugh, and Bill to almost choke. Mikayla hit his back helping him slightly.

"How about a sneakoscope?" Mikayla asked Fred, "Can't Ron got him one." Mikayla groaned, Mikayla spotted four books tied together. "What's these?" Mikayla asked the saleswoman, she smiled at Mikayla widely. "Secret Conversation Books. They are all linked, so if you write something in one it'll appear in the others." Mikayla decided they were perfect for the foursome, she wanted to get Harry something extra since it's birthday. She bought him colour-changing ink, a revealer and new quidditch gloves. "I can't wait for my birthday." Fred smiled helping Mikayla to wrap her presents for Harry, "Well I already know what I'm getting you for your birthday Freddie." Mikayla winked at him before calling Selene. She tied the presents to Selene's legs along with a letter clasped in her beak, "Παω σε Harry." (Go to Harry) The owl disappeared into the night sky, Mikayla and Fred watch her fly into the distance from the balcony.

"Right, everyone's asleep. Time to teach you how swim." Mikayla shook her head no, but Fred threw her over his shoulder, she didn't fight it because she knew it was useless. Mikayla was eye level with Fred's bottom which she didn't mind at all, as she stayed silent watching him walk. "Can I at least put on my swimsuit." Mikayla argued, Fred laughed. "Where did you think I was bringing you?" Mikayla mumbled she didn't know where he was bringing her.
