Into The Light (Golden Trio Era) {2}

Mama said...

The twins stayed in the room, fixing the Headless Hats, so they wouldn't make people feel sick as Mikayla suggested and keeping an eye on the blonde. Whilst she slept like a baby, cuddle the pillow and some slight drool on her face. "Have you figured out how you're going to win her over?" George questioned his brother, Fred shook his head no, "I don't think she'll ever take me back..." George looked at his sad twin, "I think she would if you apologised and asked her out again, Mikayla's very forgiving when it comes to you." The boys fell into silence but continued to work.

Mikayla woke up with a start, siting up mid scream, the twins jumped up to see if she was ok, "sorry nightmare." The twins relaxed slightly, "what time is it?" Fred looked at his watch, "just the end of second period." Mikayla stretched before her cheeks warm up when she realised she was in Fred's bed. She cleared her voice, standing up and brushing her uniform off, looking around for her shoes. "Thanks for taking care of me boys. Sorry, if I spoiled your fun." She spoke as she slipped on her black pomps, and walked over to the boys giving them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "See you at Lunch?" George questioned as Mikayla made her way to the door, "for sure. Bye boys." Mikayla rush to her own dorm, brushing her bed head, fixing her Uniform properly and brushing her teeth. She spotted the Carra necklace on her nightstand, she quickly clasps it on before grabbing her bag, and heading to the Great Hall for Break time and to find her friends. "Hey Mikayla, feeling better?" Dean question when she met him, Seamus and Neville in the Hallway, "yeah loads better. How did the rest of class go?" Mikayla questioned, "surprising good, Trelawney asked us some questions about our predictions and Umbridge left looking a bit defeated." Neville informed her, Mikayla smiled at his response, "Alright, see yous around." Mikayla walked quickly to the Great Hall.

"Miss Black! Mikayla!" Mikayla stopped where she was looking around to see Professor Flitwick rushing towards her, she began walking towards the Professor to shorten the distance. "Yes Professor?" Professor Flitwick catches his breath before beaming at the blonde, "Professor Umbridge has giving me permission to continue the Elites, and to celebrate Dumbledore said that you can perform for the students at dinner time." Mikayla's heart sunk, why her, there's plenty of talented singers in the Elites. "I don't know if I'm the right person Professor, especially with my history with Umbridge...." Flitwick laughed lightly, "no one can sing your new song High Hopes, it just wouldn't make sense. Please?" Mikayla sighed before agreeing to sing on the behalf of the Elites. "Great see you at dinner." Flitwick chimes rushing off in the opposite direction as Mikayla rushed to the Great Hall.

She spotted Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny sitting together talking, Mikayla rushed over to her friends, taking a seat beside Ginny on the bench. "Feel better?" Harry questioned as Mikayla picked up something to eat, "I was..." Mikayla sighed taking a bite of the roll she made herself, "I'm guessing Flitwick found you." Ginny spoke Mikayla nodded looking at her plate, "she's singing for the school at dinner time." Everyone knew how Mikayla got when she had to perform in front of big groups of people, "I'm just a little extra worried because what if it triggers an Anxietas Attack." Mikayla admits, almost dying has really caused her a lot of problems. "You'll be fine, we'll be there and Dumbledore." Mikayla sighed finishing her food as fast as she possibly could, just in time to head for Herbology.

After Astronomy, Mikayla rushed down to the Great Hall leaving her friends behind, so she could meet Flitwick before her performance. She collides with none other than Draco Malfoy, they both fall to the ground as Draco hovers over Mikayla. He quickly clears his throat, getting away from the blonde who jumps up, apologised and runs to the Great Hall. "Professor!" Flitwick spun around and beamed at the sight of the blonde, "ready Miss Black?" Mikayla nodded, Flitwick led her to the mic stand in front of the teachers table, he gestures to the piano that will be her instrumental, "who's playing it?" "Ginerva Weasley." Mikayla nodded before correcting the Professor telling him that she prefers to be called Ginny. Ginny came rushing in the door next heading straight to the piano, "you sit with her until Dumbledore calls on you." Flitwick planned, Mikayla took a seat on the piano bench beside Ginny. "I don't know if I can do this Ginny." Mikayla whispers as the Great Hall begins to fill up with students and teachers alike. "Just find a few faces that gives you comfort and pretend there's no one else watching you." Mikayla nodded taking Ginny's advice.

Once the Great Hall had reach full capacity, Dumbledore approach his usual podium to speak. "I know you've all had a bit of a tough year so far, but I've organised a little pick me up. I've gotten Professor Flitwick to organise some music, so please welcome Mikayla Black who will be singing an original song called High Hopes with Ginny Weasley as her pianist." There was a loud set of applause as Mikayla journeyed to the mic Stand. She found her comforting faces in her friends at the Gryffindor table, before nodding at Ginny to begin.

"Thank you girls. Now let's eat!" Dumbledore announces as food appears on the five long tables. Mikayla and Ginny rush to their friends, to take their seats and begin loading their food onto their plates. "You two did great up there." Hermione complimented them, the girls thank her for the flattery. Avery pops over to the Gryffindor table to give Mikayla a quick hug of congratulations. "You've had quite the day huh? Your interview, divination and singing alone in front of the school." Avery and Mikayla chuckle, "See ya." Avery smiled, Mikayla noticed Parvati and Avery made eye contact before Parvati blushed, once Avery was out of ear shot, Mikayla scribbled down a note to Parvati.

'Hey P, do you have a thing for Avery??'

'Maybe, I dunno. I don't think she likes me that way...'

'I can talk to her, she who's peeking her interest.'

'You'd do that for me??'

'Course P, I got you.'

'Thanks M :)'

Mikayla went back to her dinner, she spotted Hermione giving her a 'what's that about?' look. Mikayla mouthed 'Avery' to Hermione who nodded knowingly. Mikayla then remembered she never sent a letter to thank the Weasleys for taking Avery in. She finished her dinner and told her friends that she was heading up to the Owlery to send a letter to Mr and Mrs Weasley. Harry suggested that someone should go with her but they all needed to get homework done and Mikayla said the letter is quite personal. Mikayla stood in the Owlery, Selene sat at the desk as Mikayla wrote her letter...

Dear Mr and Mrs Weasley,
I wanted to thank you for being kind enough to bring Avery in. I know with her parentage it might've have been a tough choice. I promise she won't let you down, as different as we are, Avery has learned how important the people you surround yourself with are.
I hope everything is good at home, and we can organise everything later about the move.
Tell Bill I said hi and that I miss him.
I'm glad my mam chose you to take me in because I truly feel like I belong in the burrow with you... and I know that she would think you two are doing a great job at raising me the right way. And hope that you can do the same for Avery.
Lots of Love
Mikayla x
