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

Fergal Bugs Out

There was a loud crack, "Hello Weasleys, Mikayla." Fergal's voice filled Mikayla's ears, she shivered slightly, "Hello Fergal." Mikayla spoke coldly sending the man dirty looks. "I'm sorry for coming unexpectedly but I need to speak with Mikayla alone." Fergal spoke quickly, Mikayla stood up secretly grabbing one of the twins Extendable Ears, following Fergal up to her room, she hid the hear behind a stack of books before sitting at her desk. "What do you want?" Mikayla kept her stone cold voice, "I see you still haven't told the Weasley's about who you saw at the graveyard. I can't let word get out in the ministry, so, name your price." Mikayla's jaw almost hit the floor. "Excuse me?" Mikayla wasn't hiding her shock well, "What do you want to stay quiet?" This did not help Mikayla whatsoever, "And what do you think everyone will think if I have a unexplained sack of coins? You can't buy my silence Fergal." Mikayla went to stand up but Fergal grabbed her wrist preventing her to leave. "5,000 Galleons, and Information on Voldemort's plan." Mikayla's chest tightened, "Why would I want to know his plan? I plan to stay away from him for the rest of my life." "Because you care too much about the Potter boy to pass this kind of information off." Mikayla sighed, "Tell me the info, then we'll make a deal." Fergal smiled, "He's after a prophecy that your old Divination teacher made. It will tell him how to kill your little boyfriend. " "Harry's not my boyfriend first of all. Secondly, how do I know you're telling the truth?" "You don't, you'll just have to trust me." Mikayla scoffed at Fergal's statement, "I will never trust you. ever. You're a child abusing Death Eater, who witness me almost get murdered less than two months ago." He gave Mikayla a very dangerous look.

"Fine, I can give you something better. I can clear your dad's name." Mikayla froze, Fergal knew how to get Mikayla to react but not how to get her to give in. "As much as I want that, I know that it's a trap. Fake my dad's clearing and then pick him up the second he surfaces. He's better off hiding in Tibet. Oh." Mikayla slapped her hand to her face, Fergal smirked, "So, that's where he's hiding. Alright, how about this. I won't tell anyone where he is and give you 7,500 Galleons for your silence." Mikayla looked around the room worryingly as though she was extremely conflicted with the decision. "Fine, but I want something else." "What else could you possibly want?" Mikayla scolded him, "I want you to keep your Death Eater life and Home life separate, if I so much as see a bruise on Avery's body, I will hang you out to dry faster than you can say Crucio." Fergal flinched at the memory of the last time he used that spell. "Deal." The pair shook hands, Mikayla stopped him from leaving, "I want a signed contract just incase you try and not hold up your end of the deal." Mikayla grabbed a piece of parchment and began to write a contract which Fergal signed straight away.

I, Fergal O'Brien, vow that I shall never reveal the location of Sirius Black, or harm my daughter in any way. I offer Mikayla Black, 7,500 Galleons in exchange for her silence of not informing the world that I am a Death Eater. If I shall break this contract, I permit Mikayla to leak this contract to the appropriate authorities and ask for her not to be harmed as she is innocent. I am a Child Abusing Death Eater who was desperate to keep my job and forced this young girl to stay quiet.

"Alright. Here's the money." Mikayla shook her head no at him trying to hand her a box. "I need you to count it, how do I know it's all there?" Fergal sighed, Mikayla grabbed another box before watching as Fergal counted each coin one by one, Mikayla inspect the coins once he reached 7,500 to ensure it wasn't Leprechaun gold. "Pleasure doing business with you, Fergal." The pair went downstairs, Fergal said goodbye to the Weasleys whilst Mikayla scribbled down a warning for them, with a crack he disapparated and Mikayla slapped her finger to her lip.
