Part 13 - Miriam's Point of View
So, we spent the afternoon in the forest, looking for a centaur called Firenze.
It was getting later and the forest was really dark and cold. I was tired and hungry.
Me: I’m sorry, Ron… I can’t walk anymore… I’m so tired… *I sat on a rock*
Ron: I know… You need to rest.
Me: You need to rest too…
Ron: Don’t worry… I’m alright… Are you hungry?
Me: A bit…
Ron: I have another chocolate frog… do you want it?
Me: And what will you eat?
Ron: Nothing…
Me: That’s not fair… let’s share it!
Ron: Ok…
So, we ate the chocolate frog. It wasn’t very much, but it was all that we had.
Me: It must be so late!
Ron: Yeah… the others must be worried about us…
Me: And I didn’t make the test for the Quidditch team…
Ron: I’ll talk to Oliver. He’ll let you make it on another day.
Me: I don’t know… I just want to return to the castle…
Ron: Me too… We’ll find a way to get out of here.
Me: We spent the day looking for Firenze… but we didn’t find him!
Ron: I know! But we won’t stay here forever!
Me: I know that! But this forest is scary, dangerous, dark and cold! I’m tired, I have homework to do, I have to feed my cat and I want to get out of here!
Ron: SHUT UP!
Ok, now I was really angry. I stood up and led towards a big three and then I sat in one of its branches. Ron did the same.
Me: What to do you want? If you’re going to yell at me again, I’ll go away!
Ron: I’m sorry for that… I just… I don’t like to be here too!
Me: I know… I’m sorry too…
Ron: Don’t be! *he hugged me*
Me: Well, I think we both need to rest…
Ron: I agree… I’m going to find a good place where we can spend the night.
Me: Alright…
So, he left me and ten minutes later, I heard him:
Ron: Hey, Mimi! Come here! I found a great cave!
I walked towards it.
Me: Humm… it isn’t a mansion… but it’s nice…
Ron: Well, what did you expect? We are in a forest and this is a cave… I’m sorry, Miss Evelyn, but we don’t have many mansions here… *he laughed*
I laughed too. We entered in the cave. It was really big and dark, but it wasn’t cold.
Me: Lumos!
Ron: Good idea…
Then, we made a bed with leaves and a little “fireplace”.
Me: Well, I’m going to sleep…
Ron: Me too…
Me: Good night!
Ron: Good night!
When I woke up, my head was on Ron’s chest and we were hand-by-hand. Then, I saw something pink near my hand… PINK?!
Me: Morgan?! What are you doing here?
Yes, it was she! My little cat had found us!
Me: Ron! Ron! Wake up!
Ron: Humm… let me sleep…
Me: RON!!!
Ron: Oh… sorry… Good morning… what happened?
Me: Good morning! Morgan is here! She found us! We must be near Hogwarts!
Ron: Yes! That’s great!
So, we got up and decided to explore the cave. And at the end of it, we found a beautiful waterfall and many flowers… it didn’t look like a scary forest…
Me: Wow… this place is wonderful!
Ron: I agree…
Then, we heard someone talking to us.
Girl: Do you like it, Miriam?
Me: Yes… hold on, how do you know my name?
When I turned, I saw a girl, who seemed to be as old as me. She was very beautiful. Her eyes were light blue, but her hair was brown and very long, like mine. Then, I noticed that she had… wings.
Me: Are you… a real fairy?
Girl: Of course! I’m your cousin, Miriam!
Me: My cousin?
Girl: Yes, my name is Aislin Silver. I’m the granddaughter of your grandmother’s sister.
Me: This is strange…
Aislin: I know… Well, you must know that your grandmother’s name is Lilac… Queen Lilac…
Me: My grandma is a queen?
Aislin: Yes! She was the queen of the fairies, but she didn’t want to stay here after her marriage with your grandfather, who is a wizard. So, her sister took the control of our world. At the moment, my mum is the queen.
Me: So, that means that you are the princess of the fairies…
Aislin: Yes, but you are too…
Me: Me?! That’s not possible!
Aislin: Yes, it is! Your grandmother was the queen! You are a princess too!
Me: I don’t even have wings…
Aislin: You have wings, but only when you are in the world of the fairies…
Ron seemed impressed. He hadn’t said a word and he was looking at me.
Me: What?!
Ron: Look at your reflection in that lake…
I thought it was strange, but I walked towards a little lake. When I looked at me, I couldn’t believe… I really had a beautiful pair of pink wings!!!
Aislin: See? You are Miriam Evelyn, Princess of the Fairies…
Me: … cousin of Aislin Silver, Princess of the Fairies too!
We smiled. I really liked my cousin. She was really nice!
Me: It’s really cool to meet you, Aislin!
Aislin: I agree! And who is that wizard with you?
Me: He’s Ron Weasley.
Aislin: Your boyfriend?
Me: No! *I blushed*
Aislin: Alright… come, I’ll introduce you to my mum and show you our world.
It was a really cool day. I found that I was princess, I saw my wings, I met my cousin and my aunt, who was called Jacqueline Silver and was the Queen of the Fairies. She was really nice and when she was showing the palace, she told me that I have a room for me, if ever I decided to move to the world of the fairies. I told her thanks.
We had a great lunch, which me and Ron liked a lot… we were starving!!!
Then, my aunt gave me a very beautiful dress, which was pink. It was like Aislin’s dress, but hers was light blue.
After that, we went to a garden.
Aislin: Miriam, wouldn’t you like to live here?
Me: Well… that would be great, but I have to be near my parents…
Aislin: I understand. Do you study at Hogwarts?
Me: Yes, I do. It isn’t much far from here.
Aislin: You are right. You are welcome here and you can come whenever you want.
Me: Thanks!
Aislin: Oh, by the way, my mum gave me this. *she took a very beautiful necklace* It’s for you. All the princesses of the fairies have one. *she gave me the necklace*
Me: Oh… it’s so beautiful… thank you very much!
Aislin: You’re welcome! *she smiled* It will help you to find us in the forest.
Me: Ok… It’s getting late… we must return to Hogwarts…
Ron: But we got lost… we have to find a way back…
Aislin: Oh, you don’t need to! The necklace will guide you!
Me: That’s great! Well, good bye Aislin!
Aislin: Good bye, Miriam! Visit me sometimes, ok?
Me: Of course!
Aislin: Great! Good bye, Ron…
Ron: Bye!
I hugged my cousin and then we left. We entered the cave again and, when we left it, my wings had disappeared. I was holding Morgan in my arms and Ron was walking near me.
Me: What happened, Ron? You were strange… you didn’t speak…
Ron: I’m ok…
Me: No, you aren’t! Come on, tell me!
Ron: Well… I was worried… maybe now that you found that you are a princess, you won’t want to be my friend anymore and you’ll leave us and you’ll move to your aunt’s palace…
Me: Hey! Don’t be silly, Ronald! Of course I want to be your friend! You’re my best friend *we both blushed*… And I want to study at Hogwarts!
Ron: Ok… I’m feeling better now.
I don’t know why… but I kissed his cheek. We blushed again…
Ron: Humm… y-you… your necklace is shining!
Me: What?
I looked at it. He was right. My necklace was emitting a beautiful light…
Me: Let’s follow the light!
Ron: Alright!
So, we followed it and, when we noticed, we were out of the forest.
Me: Yes!!! It’s wonderful!!! We left the forest!!!
Ron: We did it!!! We are at Hogwarts again!!!
We were so happy!!! We hugged each other. Then, we heard someone coming. It was Fred and George.
Fred: Mr. Weasley and Miss Evelyn… Where have you been?
George: We have been worried about you… we haven’t seen you since yesterday morning!
Fred: You have no sense of responsibility!
Me: *laughing* Why are you talking like me?
George: We’re kidding… but we were really worried…
Fred: Come on! Tell us what happened!
Ron: Well… we were riding Mimi’s Firebolt and then we got lost…
Me: In the Forbidden Forest…
Ron: We tried to find a way back, but we couldn’t…
Me: So, we spent the night inside the forest…
Fred: Wow… you two spent the night together?
Me: Hey!!! Stop laughing!
George: Alright… and what happened next?
Ron: Well, we found Ai…
But I looked at him and told him not to say anything about that.
Me: Then, we found our way back and we’re here…
George: Wow… that’s a great adventure…
Ron: And what have you been doing?
Fred: Oh… something terrible happened…
Me: Really? What?
George: Nymphadora was hit by a bludger…
Fred: She fainted and she’s on the Hospital Wing at the moment.
Me: That’s so bad!!! How is she now?
George: She hasn’t waked up yet…
Ron: Let’s see how she is now!
Me: Let’s go!!!
So, we ran towards the Hospital Wing. The twins followed us.
When we entered the Hospital Wing, we saw Harry, Hermione, Oliver and Ginny near Nymphadora’s bed.
Me: Good evening, Madam Pomfrey… we’re here to see Nymphadora…
Madam Pomfrey: Yes, but… oh, my dear! Come here, your nose is bleeding!
Me: What?
Ron: She’s right… your nose is bleeding… come on, sit here…
He took my hand and led me to a bed near Nymphadora’s.
Madam Pomfrey came with a bottle of a green potion. She put a bit of it in my nose and it stopped bleeding.
Madam Pomfrey: It’s alright now. Stay here a bit and rest, my dear. You’ll feel better quickly!
Me: Ok, thank you!
Ron sat in my bed and Morgan jumped to my arms.
Madam Pomfrey: Mr. Weasley, you look tired too. Why don’t you rest a bit here? *she pointed towards a bed near mine*
Ron: Humm… alright…
Some minutes later, Nymphadora woke up. She looked at me and I waved at her. She didn’t answer back… I felt sad… that was strange… she’s always so nice…
I tried to get up, but I was really tired. So, I just stayed in my bed, listening.
We were really happy to see that Nymphadora woke up, but then… she couldn’t remember anything! She had amnesia…
I didn’t listen what they said, but Harry left the Hospital Wing. He was strange too…
Then, Hermione suggested that we should introduce ourselves to Nymphadora again. That’s what we did.
I presume that she must have felt really bad… it must be difficult to forget everything about our life…
Some time later, Hermione, Ginny, Oliver, Fred and George left the Hospital Wing.
Madam Pomfrey: Are you feeling better?
Me: Yes, Madam Pomfrey.
Madam Pomfrey: Well, you can go to your Common Room if you want…
Me: Thank you…
Madam Pomfrey: You can go too, Mr. Weasley.
Ron: Alright…
Me: Madam Pomfrey… will Nymphadora be ok?
Madam Pomfrey: Oh, my dear… I don’t know… I think she’ll be alright, but it will take time… and we have to be patient…
Me: I know… we will always be by her side!
Madam Pomfrey smiled. Me and Ron left the Hospital Wing. We were walking towards our Common Room when we saw Professor McGonagall. She looked very angry…
Professor McGonagall: Mr. Weasley! Miss Evelyn! Where have you been?
Me: We… we left the Hospital Wing right now…
Professor McGonagall: I know that!!! But what were you two doing in the Forbidden Forest?
Ron: We got lost…
Professor McGonagall: Oh… do you need a map, Mr. Weasley?
Me: But… but…
Professor McGonagall: You mustn’t go to the Forbidden Forest! And you mustn’t spend your weekend there…
Ron: We didn’t do that on purpose…
Professor McGonagall: This is enough! Come with me! Professor Dumbledore wants to talk to you…
I was nearly crying… Why was Professor McGonagall so angry? We just got lost… And now we were going to see Professor Dumbledore… I was so nervous… Will he yell at us too? Will he expel us? But he’s the best wizard of all times… I was sure he would understand what happened…
