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

Train Talk

"GEORGE!!! FREDDIE!!!" Mikayla yelled jumped on the double bed, they shared once Mikayla moved in with Ginny. They both groaned rolling over, nodding at one another before sandwiching Mikayla between them. "Geroff." She told them as they squished her, they didn't stop. "I won't help you finish packing." She warned and they both immediately stopped and hoped out of bed. "Call me when you're dressed." She told them as she walked out the door waiting on the other side of it for the boys to be ready. "Mikayla come back!" George yelled, the boys were pulling at a jumper, wrestling over who owned it. "Give me it!" Mikayla held out her hand but the jumper hit her face, rolled her eyes before looking at the label, which spelt "George.W." She threw it at George before helping him stack everything efficiently, folding his clothes and putting them on top of his supplies to prevent anything to happen to them.

She then made her way over to Fred's trunk doing the same, "Wait! I have something for you." Mikayla rushed her room, grabbing her old guitar before rushing back to the twins room. "If you want to play, you'll need to practice. This is my old one, but it's still relatively new." Mikayla handed the guitar to Fred, "What about me?" George whined Mikayla smiled at him, "I'll do all your charms and transfigurations homework for the first week." George picked the tiny blonde up in pure joy. He began ranting about how much he loves Mikayla and how she's the best person ever. "Please put me down, it's time for breakfast." She told him, he dropped her immediately causing her to hit the floor, Mikayla groaned in pain as George realised what he done. "Just go get food please." She tells him, knocking his hand away as she picked herself up. "I'll finish up here if you want to go eat." Mikayla told Fred, he smiled in response following his twin. Mikayla finished organising Fred's trunk, before seeing a jumper on the floor. "GINNY FOUND YOUR JUMPER!" Mikayla yelled, Ginny rushed into the room and accidentally tackled Mikayla to the ground while giving her a hug, "You Weasley kids are going to break me one of these days." Mikayla chuckled grabbing Ginny's helping hand.

Mikayla carries down her trunk, then Fred's, George's, Harry's, and Ron's before taking a seat to eat her breakfast. "They're here!" Mr Weasley jumped up just as Mikayla went to take a bite of her toast, she sadly dropped her food back onto the plate mumbling that she's never being nice again. Mr Weasley escorted Harry out, Mikayla, Ron and Hermione soon joined him in the car. The journey to King's Cross was rather boring since the Ministry's Official driving made Mikayla rather uneasy. They arrived in King's Cross with twenty minutes to spare, the Ministry drivers got them trolleys and unloaded their trunks giving weird stares before driving away. Mr Weasley was staying close to Harry the entire way through the station, "Right then, let's do this in pairs as there are so many of us." Mr Weasley glanced at the many faces in front of him. "I'll go through with Harry first." The two disappeared as two familiar faces join them, "Avery!" Mikayla engulfed her sister in a hug, before taking a step back noticing a scratch on her face, "Father." Mikayla nodded at her dad who did the same in return. "I'll leave you be Avery." He said walking away from the group wanting to get home. "What happened to your face?" Mikayla whispered at Avery once they were no longer in ear shot of anyone. "I'll tell you later, we'll miss the train." The girls rushed towards the wall between platform 9 & 10 after Ron and Ginny walked through. Avery left to find her fellow Slytherins, Mikayla followed Hermione, Ron and Harry to their usual compartment at the end of the train.

This time it was occupied by a sleeping man. This stranger was wearing very shabby robes, he looked rather ill and he gave the impression that he really needed the sleep he was having. He looked quite young around the age of Mikayla's parents or now parent. "Who d'you reckon he is?" Ron asked staring at the stranger wearyingly, "Professor R.J. Lupin." Mikayla and Hermione spoke in sync, "Do you know everything? How is it they know everything?" Ron pointed the first question at the girls and the second at Harry. "It's on his suitcase, Ronald." Hermione points out the case which told them who the stranger was, "Oh." Harry asked the group if they thought the Professor was really asleep, before closing the compartment door. Harry told Hermione and Ron about what he overheard from Mr and Mrs  Weasley, and what Mr Weasley warned him about before getting onto the train. Hermione told Harry not to go looking for trouble where Harry responded saying trouble finds him not the other way around. "But they'll catch Black, won't they? I mean, everyone's looking for him." Hermione tried to give Harry some comfort. "Sure. Except no one's ever broken out of Azkaban before..an-" Ron cut off Mikayla, "And he's a murderous, raving lunatic." Ron voice trembled slightly, Harry thanked Ron sarcastically causing Mikayla to laugh lightly.

"Hello Marian." Mikayla smiled as the trolley witch opened the compartment, she beamed at the young blonde, "Miss O'Brien, enjoy the summer?" Mikayla smiled nodded, "and you?" Marian told her she had a great summer, Mikayla got some chocolate before Harry got some stuff. Not long after Marian left, Draco, Crabbe, Goyle and Avery walked into the compartment, Mikayla moved over allowing her sister sit next to her. Mikayla looked at Draco, he looked quite different from last year, his hair was different and he was taller, he was quite attractive really. "I heard your father finally got his hands on some gold this summer, Weasley. Did your mother die of shock?" Malfoy snorted, Crabbe and Goyle joined while Avery gave Ron an apologetic look. Both Mikayla and Ron stood up because of Malfoy's insult, the Weasley's were kind enough to take her in, she wasn't going to let a slim ball like Draco Malfoy insult them. "Well if it isn't the O'Brien that wasn't worth her father's care. She had to be shipped off to the Weasley's so she wouldn't end up in a orphanage." Mikayla stepped closer to Malfoy inches apart, "Actually Malfoy, it was so I wouldn't end up being my father's punching bag now get out before I make you." She spat angrily yet truthfully, Malfoy's usual scowl softened at the girls statement yet he didn't move. "Who's that?" He asked looking at the sleeping teacher, "A new teacher." Malfoy knew not to pick a fight in front of a teacher, "Crabbe, Goyle, Avery come on." The sisters shared a nod before the four Slytherins left the compartment.
