Into The Light (Golden Trio Era) {2}

Attack on Arthur

Mikayla woke up with a start, she went to check the time to notice that Cedric's watch wasn't on her wrist, she hopped up and began frantically searching the room for the watch, that always comforted her after a nightmare. She remembered taking it off before DA so she wouldn't break it, she began to panic, looking under her bed. "Accio watch." but nothing came into her open palm, she stumbles out of the dorm room to check down stairs, focusing on her breathing to prevent a panic attack, but once she reaches the last step, she sees a flash of crystal balls before she collapsed on the ground, she took a sharp breath to prevent and Anxietas session and went into a Seer vision.

*Mikayla looked around to see herself in a black tiled corridor with a sign saying, 'Department of Mysteries.' She heard a hiss, she looked at the ground where a Snake, she recognised at Voldemort's snake. Following the snake to the door at the end of the Hall, she steps into the room seeing a bunch of black doors in a circle, she followed the snake through one of the doors, stepping into a room she instantly recognised from her dreams as she saw shelves filled with crystal balls. The room was dark, but the crystal balls lit up the room where she could still see the snake. She followed the snake, she spotted a wand light being held by a red headed man, instantly Mikayla recognised, "MR WEASLEY! ARTHUR! RUN!" She screamed at the man, who spun around just as the snake attacked him. "NO!" Mikayla began balling her eyes out as she ran towards the attack trying to stop but since she wasn't really there the snake didn't even struggle at getting to Arthur. "MISS BLACK." Everything went black.*

Mikayla sat up gasping for air, she looked to see McGonagall, and Ron who was supporting a sweating Harry. "Arthur." Mikayla spoke as she struggled to speak, McGonagall helped her off the ground, "We're going straight to Dumbledore." Mikayla nodded as she helped Ron, with Harry, who seemed to be in a daze. McGonagall lit her wand leading the three friends to the Headmasters office, surprisingly Dumbledore was still awake. McGonagall told Dumbledore that Harry had a nightmare that he swears was real. "I wasn't sure I believed him, until I heard Miss Black scream from the common room." Mikayla looked down at the ground, "You saw him get attacked as well Miss Black." Mikayla nodded, "I woke up from a nightmare, and was looking for Cedric's watch that I've misplaced and I started having a panic attack, and took the initiative of having a vision over an Anxietas episode. I was in a corridor, I followed the snake and saw it attacking Mr Weasley." Dumbledore nodded as Mikayla rushed out what happened to her so she could get Arthur rescued safely. Harry informed Dumbledore that he saw it from the snake's point of view. Dumbledore began rushing around the room ordering the paintings to do things.

"Miss Black will you get the other Weasley children and bring them here?" Mikayla nodded, rushing out of the room, and she ran back to the Gryffindor Tower. She went for the twins first, she shook them awake, they looked at her confused, "Your dad's been hurt, get up we're going to Dumbledore's office." The boys jumped up and wrapped their dressing gowns around them. "I have to get Ginny, the password for Dumbledore's office is Fizzing Whizzbee. Hurry." The boys run out of the portrait as Mikayla bursts into Ginny's room, shaking the girl's shoulder. "Mikayla what-" Mikayla cut her off, "Your dad has been hurt, we have to go to Dumbledore's office now." Ginny got up, imitating her brothers grabbing her dressing gown. The girls footsteps echoed through the empty halls as they ran to Dumbledore's office, "Fizzing Whizzbee." the staircase begins to move and the girls rush up the stairs. They burst into the room, catching Dumbledore's attention.

"your father has been injured in the course of his work for the Order of the Phoenix. He has been taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I am sending you back to Sirius's house, which is much more convenient for the hospital than The Burrow. You will meet your mother there." Dumbledore informs Ginny when she asked what's going on. "How're we going?" Fred spoke up asking if they would be using the Floo Network. "No, Floo powder is not safe at the moment, the network is being watched. You will be taking a Portkey." Dumbledore informs before telling them that they were just waiting for Phineas to come back. Before there was a flash of fire in the centre of the room. Dumbledore tells McGonagall that it was Fawkes warning that Umbridge is on her way and instructed the teacher to head her off and tell her any old lie.

Mikayla fell to the ground once they reached Grimmauld Place. She groaned from the ground, all the boys landed on their feet whilst her and Ginny laid in a heap. Fred helped Mikayla up and George grabbed Ginny.

They sat down at the long and very dusty table in the kitchen and explained what they saw, trying to speak quickly so that they could go see Arthur as soon as possible. Mikayla noticed Harry changing the story around, purposely avoiding the detail that he was watching the attack as the very snake who did the attack. Ron was silent the whole time, but not the least bit drowsy. His eyes stayed wide and bloodshot, he himself looked ghost pale. Mikayla rubbed circles around his back as she comforted him through a side hug. Occasionally Harry had to stop talking, too shaken, but it was only seconds long breaks. When he finished explaining, they said nothing, Fred, George, and Ginny were only staring at him, their expressions unreadable. "Is Mum here?" Fred asked Sirius, not saying anything about Harry's recollections. "She probably doesn't even know what's happened yet." Sirius shook his head solemnly. "The important thing was to get you away before Umbridge could interfere. I expect Dumbledore's letting Molly know now."
