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

The Cure Old Friends Bring

Mikayla groaned loudly at she stretched to walk up, "Stupid Firewhiskey." She whispered hatefully. She sat up and smacked her head off her four poster bed, "Ff-" Mikayla was cut off by Hermione warning her by calling her name, "fflobberworms." Mikayla groaned. She substituted her swear to keep everything PG around her bushy haired friend this morning. "I feel like I haven't drank water in days." Lavender groaned from the other side of Hermione. "I volunteer as tribute to go to the kitchens for the cure." Mikayla rolled out of bed, she was wearing her dressing down, she pulled on a black skirt and a pink crop top before making her way out of the dorm. The common room was loud with people full of joy, Mikayla groaned and almost tripped over Harry's foot. "Morning Champ." Mikayla waved dismissively to her friends, climbing out of the portrait hole and beginning her journey to the kitchens. "By god dear, you look like you had a rough night." Sir Nicolas eyes up Mikayla, she nodded and continued her voyage. She reached the kitchen, took a deep breath before knocking on the door. A very cheerful elf answered the door, "Mistress Mikayla?" Mikayla looked down, how could she not recognise her friend. "Pep!" Mikayla knelt down and gave the elf a hug, "You look beautiful in your dress." Mikayla examined the smiling elf, Peppy laughed thanking her. "You look like a mess. But beautiful as always." Peppy squeaked making Mikayla giggle whilst groaning as her head throbbed. "We had a party for Harry last night, and I think my friends and I partied too hard." Mikayla whispered to the elf. Peppy nodded asking Mikayla how many she needed, Mikayla decided to go for ten cures.

Mikayla carried a box with water, pain killers and English breakfasts, known as the cure package. She found a very rough looking Cedric heading into the Great Hall, "CED!" Mikayla yelled too loud for both of their heads. Cedric rushed over to her once he saw she was carrying a heavy box. "Need help with- em?" Mikayla chuckled painfully, sitting the box down and handing Cedric two cure packages. "Give one to Rickett, it might butter him up to me." She kissed her boyfriends lips happily, which he returned. "See you at Elites later?" Cedric questioned, Mikayla nodded giving him another goodbye kiss. Mikayla pick the box back up, now slightly lighter and began starting her hike up to Gryffindor Tower.

"You're my favourite person on earth! Never let me be a dick to you again." Ron hugs Mikayla after she gives him and Harry the cures. "It's not like she let you in the first place." Harry chuckles before giving Mikayla a hug as well. Mikayla had two spare cures, she gave it them to Ron and Harry, "Give these two to whoever needs them most." They nodded, Mikayla lugged the box up to her dorm, entering the room and causing groans to fall out of her dorm mates mouths, except for Fay who didn't drink last night. Mikayla handed out the cure, transfigurating a table into the middle of the door with four seats around it after Fay left. The four Gryffindors ate in silence, groans leaving their mouths as they chewed the glorious house-elves meals. Mikayla looked at the horrible sight she was after devouring the food, face palming as she realised Cedric had seen her that way. She stepped into a cold shower, to wake herself up and to drown out her hangover. She then remembered how she even got her hands on alcohol when she's only 14. Keeping a note to herself to kill Fredrick Hugo Weasley for corrupting her judgement. Mikayla dried her hair, curled it before putting it in a ponytail. She wore a mixed denim two piece and a white sports bra. She applied more than her normal amount of makeup, staring at herself in the mirror. "Cedric has seen me at my worse. Now for him to see me at my casual best."

"Excuse me, have you seen my friend Mikayla? She disappeared into the bathroom an hour ago, she looked like a inferi but paler and clothed." Hermione joked looking around Mikayla humourlessly at Mikayla's hour long transformation. "Now that's magic." Lavender snaps her fingers looking at Mikayla sassily. Parvati swooned jokingly at her dorm mate, "It's sorcery beyond our world, she has to be an alien." Mikayla rolled her eyes at her dorm mates, "I must leave before I steal all your hearts." She spoke dramatically before strutting out of the dorm, whistles following her. "Well hell-o hungover Mikayla." Ginny winks, Mikayla couldn't believe Ginny actions. "Please, if I looked like this hungover, I'd be an alcoholic." Ginny laughs at Mikayla joke a little too hard, Ginny pulls Mikayla into her dorm, "Jeez Ginny, what are you doing?" Mikayla covered her eyes at the possibility that there was a naked 13 year-old Gryffindor changing. "Don't be so dramatic, I was hoping for some fashion help, specifically my favourite pants tore." Mikayla looked at the pants that one entire leg was cut off, "Tore or badly altered?" Mikayla questioned her red head friend. "Alright, I tried to make them a denim skirt but fucked up real bad." Mikayla covered her ears as Ginny swore, "You will not corrupt me as your brother did last night." Ginny gasped, clearing taking what Mikayla said as a different situation. "I mean drinking Ginny, we didn't do whatever your 13 year-old mind jumped to." Ginny groaned, obviously in hopes her brother and Mikayla might've gotten back together, Mikayla was with Cedric now and she couldn't do that to him. Mikayla took out her wand pointing it at the torn jeans, "Reparo." The leg reattached to the rest of the jeans, Ginny pouted clearly meaning for Mikayla to alter her jeans into a skirt. Mikayla stood back from the jeans, sizing it up before raising her wand again, "Diffindo" she slowly cut the jeans below the knee, ensuring it wouldn't be too short. Ginny handed Mikayla some floral patches, "Accio Sewing Kit." The famous kit glided into her hand smoothly, "Could you make it a little shorter?" Ginny asked, Mikayla told her she wanted to make it a skirt before shortening it which Ginny nodded gleefully. "I love having an older sister." Ginny whispered making a massive grin plaster on Mikayla's face, Ginny thought of her as a sister, Mikayla thought of Ginny as a sister, they both were on the same page. Mikayla loves having a little sister, one she can help guided and teach stuff to, she puffed out her chest once she finishes the lengthened version of the skirt, asking Ginny to try it on. "Never mind, I think it's the perfect length right now." Ginny called from the bathroom, before waltzing out with her skirt hitting mid thigh, and a white T-shirt knotted in the front.

"Damn G, you look hot hot." Mikayla puts on her best Queens accent making Ginny laugh before looking in the mirror, "You know M, I be looking like a snack." Mikayla laughs as Ginny plays along, the pair stare at each other before dancing weirdly, "Feeling like a whole meal." They spoke in chorus, causing both of them to explode in laughter, "Come on, we got rehearsals." Mikayla gestured a swinging arm to Ginny, indicating her to follow her out.

"Good Morning Elites! Good to see last night celebrations didn't get too out of hand." Mikayla and Cedric made eye contact winking at one another cheekily. "Now, we are just going to prepare some songs just in case we are needed." The group nod at Flitwick whilst he hands out pages containing five of Mikayla's songs as well as songs by TLC and Boston, "Boys, you're going to work on Hall of Fame and No Scrub together, Girls, you're going to tweak I Love it and write a song together. And then together we will work on All or Nothing, Some Nights, More than a feeling, and Anything Can Happen. That way we'll have a good library. Any questions?" Everyone shook their heads no, but Mikayla who raised her hand, "Sir, where are the other 5 singers?" Flitwick chuckled slightly, "They're doing their NEWTs and decided they wanted to focus on study rather than music." The absent people left only six boys and six girls for singing/performing. Draco Malfoy, Brian Smirnov, Cedric Diggory, Marcus Belby (Ravenclaw 5ft year), Roger Davis (Ravenclaw 6th year) and Wayne Hopkins (Hufflepuff 4th year). Mikayla Black, Avery O'Brien, Ginny Weasley, Pansy Parkinson, Cho Chang and Fay Dunbar (4th year Gryffindor). The band was made up of mostly unknown Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.

The six girls sat in a circle, "I think the song we write should be sexy!" Pansy whisper yelled, all the girls agreed to take a more seductive approach to song writing. "But first least split this song into parts. Avery and Cho, I think you two start us off." Mikayla thought allowed, as they read the lyrics nodding, "I got this feeling on the summer day that you were gone."
