Part 29 - Miriam's Point of View
I was very scared. I decided to go downstairs. I haven’t heard Ron or Mrs Weasley for a while… I took my mum’s letter, went downstairs and when I entered in the living room, I saw Ron sat on the couch, laughing and eating Bertie Bott’s beans.
Me: Ron! Ron, we have to get out of here… my mum sent me a letter… this woman isn’t your mum…
Ron: I know…
And then I saw Fred and George coming out of the kitchen, with some butter beers.
Me: Fred! George! What are you doing here? And where is Mrs Weasley?
I was very confused now… They started laughing.
Fred: I’m sorry for that *he made a girly voice* “My son must be starving… his girlfriend doesn’t know how to prepare a good meal for him!” *he laughed*
Me: No… it was you!
Fred: Yeah… I hope that you hadn’t cried because of that…
Me: What? Humm… no, of course I didn’t! But I was scared! I thought that you were a Death Eater! And you, Ron? Why didn’t you tell me that it was Fred and George?
Ron: I’m sorry if I didn’t go upstairs, Mimi, but these two didn’t let me…
Me: Don’t worry… but how and why did you get here?
Fred: Well, Miss I-Know-Everything, haven’t you heard about polijuice potion?
Me: Of course I did…
George: So, Fred drank a bit of the bottle we had stolen from Snape last month…
Me: And how did you come in?
George: When you went upstairs, I knocked the door and Fred opened it.
Ron: That was when I discovered that my mum wasn’t my mum…
Fred: And we are here because we really care about you! My mum is in St Mangoust. So, when I drank the potion, George and I took the Knight Bus to your house.
Me: Alright… you know what? You two are…
Fred & George: …completely irresponsible!
We all laughed. Then, I remembered the letter my mum sent me.
Me: We have to go to St Mangoust. My mum sent me this letter…
I showed them the letter. They looked a bit worried.
Ron: I think we must go to St Mangoust immediately!
Me: Yes. But we need to change clothes… we can’t go wearing pyjamas…
Fred: Oh! We brought both of you clean clothes!
Me & Ron: Thanks!
We changed our clothes, went back to the living room and took a bit of Floo Powder. A minute later, we arrived to St Mangoust.
Ron: Fine… now in which floor are them?
Me: Let’s ask the receptionist…
We went towards the receptionist.
Me: Humm… good evening… we are looking for some friends. One of them is called Nymphadora Tonks.
Receptionist: Good evening. You are Miriam, aren’t you?
Me: Yes…
Receptionist: Doctor Joanna, your mum, told me that you were coming. Please, come with me.
Ron, I, Fred and George followed her. She led us towards a little room, on 3rd floor. When we came in, we saw Mrs Weasley and my mum talking. Mrs Weasley got up very quickly and came towards us. She hugged me and Ron.
Mrs Weasley: Oh… my dears… I was so worried about you! Are you alright?
Ron: Yes, mum.
Mrs Weasley: And you, Mimi?
Me: I’m fine too…
Mrs Weasley: Those Death Eaters are disgusting… they wanted to marry Voldemort with a girl like you… I’m glad that they couldn’t…
Me: Yes… but if my dad hadn’t appeared… I’d be Voldemort’s wife by now…
Mrs Weasley: Oh… And… you two! Fred! George! What were you thinking when you decided to drink that potion, to go to Mimi’s house?
Fred: *he tried to make an innocent face* What potion?
Mrs Weasley: I’m not stupid! Hermione and Ginny told me everything…
I decided to talk to my mum while Mrs Weasley was reprimanding the twins.
Me: Mum… what’s happening? Why did you send me that letter? Where are Harry and Dora?
Mum: Well, Harry was really stubborn and he didn’t go to Grimmauld Place. He came with Nymphadora. She’s in that room, in front of this one. Harry is near her, as well as a doctor.
Ron: And how is she?
Mum: She’s in coma, again… It’s not good for her… she’s young and she had been in come twice…
Me: But will she be alright?
Mum: We hope so… she’s getting better…
Me: And how is dad?
Mum: Well, he was in coma too… but he woke up some minutes ago. Luckily, he’ll be alright. He broke a leg, but we already gave him a potion.
Me: I want to see him. Where is he?
Mum: In that room. *she pointed towards the room next Nymphadora’s*
Me: Alright, I’m going to visit my dad.
Mum: Mimi… wait! I need to tell you something before…
But I didn’t wait. Followed by Ron, I entered in my dad’s room. He was sleeping. Near his bed, I saw a girl, sat on a chair, crying. And that girl was… my cousin.
Me: YOU?! What are you doing here?
Aislin: I…I…
Me: Get out of here! All of what happened is your fault! I hate you!
Aislin: No Miriam… you don’t understand… *she was crying a lot*
Me: I don’t care! Leave us alone! I don’t want to see you or your mum!
She cried even more now and my mum came in.
Mum: Mimi… don’t yell at your cousin…
Me: But her mother and she wanted me to marry Voldemort!
Mum: Her mother, not Aislin. Do you remember what I wrote in the letter? That some death eaters escaped? Voldemort was with them. They tried to find you, but they couldn’t. So, they led to the forest and found Aislin’s mother. She had promised Voldemort that he’d marry you. Voldemort was furious and killed her.
Me: Oh…
Aislin: I was near a lake with Aaron, my boyfriend… and he went to my house… to bring me a present he had made for me… that he had forgotten there… and… and…
Me: And?
Aislin: Well, I spent an hour waiting for him… I decided to go home, to see where he was… and… and… when I came in, I saw… him… and my mum… dead… both of them.
Me: That’s so bad…
Yeah, I felt sad about Aislin’s story.
Mum: Mimi, come here, please.
Me: Ok…
My mum and I left the room.
Mum: Well, your dad and I thought that maybe Aislin will stay with us.
Me: WHAT? No way! I don’t want her to be with us!
Mum: But she hasn’t any family…
Me: Where’s her father?
Mum: He left her mother, when she was pregnant of Aislin…
Me: Wow… poor Aislin… she doesn’t have a father, her mother is dead, her boyfriend too…
Mum: Yes, and that’s why we think that she needs to stay with us. We are her only family.
Me: No! Her mother and she wanted me to marry Voldemort! My friends and I were almost killed because of that!
Aislin came out of the room and Ron followed her.
Aislin: Miriam… I know that you must be really angry with me, but believe me, I never wanted to hurt you!
Me: Lies, lies and more lies! That’s enough!
Aislin: No! First, when Voldemort told my mum that he’d destroy the world of the fairies if he didn’t married a princess of the fairies, my mum and I were really sad… but then she remembered of you… she told me that he had to find you and that the Dark Lord would marry you, instead of me. I felt really happy… and then, we didn’t have to find you… you found us. When I met you, I felt a bit sad, because I saw that you were a really good person. But my mum told me that it was better that way, and gave you the necklace which would lead you to Voldemort’s mansion when he was ready to marry you. But you brought your friends with you and you escaped, so my mum’s perfect plan failed, and she was killed, as well as Aaron, who didn’t know everything about this story.
Me: Oh… now you blame me of your mother’s and boyfriend’s death?
Aislin: No… I just want you to understand what happened…
Mum: So, will you let Aislin stay with us?
Me: NO! I DON’T WANT HER TO STAY WITH US!
Mum: Mimi, try to put yourself in Aislin’s place… how would you feel if Ron and I had been killed and you didn’t have any family… and no one wanted you to be with them?
Me: I… I… I’d never send anyone to marry Voldemort instead of me!
Mum: Really? So why didn’t you marry him?
Me: I escaped… dad and the Aurors saved me… and I’d never marry anyone but Ron!
Mum: See? Do you understand Aislin’s feelings now?
Me: Fine… you convinced me… she can stay… but I don’t want her to stay in my room, I don’t want her to touch my stuff , I don’t want her to play with my pets and I don’t want her to be with my friends!
Ron: Don’t you think that you are being a bit rude to your cousin?
Me: Well, a bit… well, you can be with me and my friends, if you want, Aislin…
Aislin: Oh… thank you, Mimi! You have a heart of gold! I’m sorry for everything… I know you don’t trust me… but I’ll do everything to deserve your confidence!
Me: Alright… well, you aren’t a witch… you can’t stay at Hogwarts. Where will she stay, mum?
Mum: I don’t know, but your father and I will talk to Dumbledore as soon as we can. Until that, she’ll stay with you, as you are on holydays.
Me: WHAT? And if Voldemort comes back? He must be looking for me. As you said, he won’t give up… she’ll tell him how to find me!
Aislin: No, Miriam… I won’t do that… I swear…
Mum: Well, she doesn’t need to stay with you… you are spending your Christmas holidays with the Weasleys, aren’t you? So, she’ll stay with me and with your father, at our home.
Me: Oh… now you prefer to have a stranger at home… you don’t care about me anymore…
Mum: No, Mimi! You decided to spend your holidays away from us! You left your family because of your boyfriend!
Me: That’s not true, mum… you know that I love my family with all my heart! *I hugged my mum*
Mum: I know sweetie… but Aislin is your cousin… she’s part of the family. I understand that it’s hard for you to trust her, but please, try to be nice for her…
Me: Alright, mum. I’ll try, I promise.
Mum: This is my Mimi!
Me: I love you, mum!
Mum: I love you too. Well, your father is asleep. So, why don’t you go visit Nymphadora? Harry is with her.
Then, a woman entered in the room.
Woman: Doctor Evelyn, the metamorphic girl, Nymphadora, has just woken up.
Mum: Alright. Can her friends visit her?
Woman: Yes, I think so. Follow me, please.
Aislin: Mimi… can I go with you?
Me: Yes, if you want to.
Aislin: Thanks!
So, I, Ron, Fred, George and Aislin followed the woman. She opened the door. We came in and the doctor who was with her left. Harry wasn’t there. We led towards her bed.
Me: DORA!!! I’m so happy to see that you’ve woken! How are you?
Nymphadora: Hello everyone! I’m tired… my head hurts a bit… And how are you? Did you become Voldemort’s wife?
Me: Of course not! Well, that almost happened… but then the Aurors appeared and saved us… Can you remember?
Nymphadora: No…Harry… where’s Harry? He’s dead, isn’t he?
Ron: No! Harry’s here! Well, we hadn’t seen him, but he’s here.
And then, Harry came in.
Harry: DORA!!!
I saw a big smile on Nymphadora’s face.
Fred: Maybe we should leave them alone…
Me: I agree…
George: Hey Harry! Tell us when we can come in…
Harry: Alright… and… who are you?
Aislin: I’m Aislin Silver… Mimi’s cousin…
Harry: Oh… that one whose mother wanted Mimi to marry Voldemort? This situation is your entire fault! You and your mother should be killed!
Ron: Harry…
Aislin: The great Harry Potter… you know what? MY MUM WAS ALREADY KILLED!!!
And she left us, running and crying.
Ron: Harry… you shouldn’t… well, let’s go.
Fred: Yes, you and Dora need to talk… tell us when we can come in. *he winked* See you later, Dora!
Nymphadora: See you!
And we left the room. I couldn’t see where Aislin was.
Me: Maybe we should go look for her…
Ron: Why? Are you worried about her?
Me: No!
Ron: Don’t lie to me…
Me: Yes, I am worried, ok? Can we go look for her?
Ron: Alright.
Fred: Ok. We’ll stay here. We want to talk to Dora. She needs to laugh!
George: Yes, she does! See you later, lovebirds!
Me & Ron: See you!
We walked through some corridors, but we didn’t see Aislin…
Ron: Maybe she’s with your mum…
Me: Yeah… let’s go!
So, we went towards my dad’s room. My mum was still there, as well as Mrs Weasley.
Me: Mum… have you seen…
Mum: Mimi! Your father has just woken up!
Dad: Mimi! I’m so happy to see that my little girl is alright!
Me: Daddy!!! *we hugged*
Mum: Well, your father, I and Mrs Weasley have been talking and we have something very important to tell you…
Ron: Well, in that case, I should leave the room…
Mum: No, Ron. It’s important to both of you. Tell them, Anthony.
Dad: Well, we have been talking and we found a plan… We think that Voldemort wouldn’t want to marry you, Mimi, if you were married to another one. We think that the only thing he wants from you is an heir, and of course, he won’t want an heir from a married girl…
Me: I presume you’re right… but that’s not a plan…
Mrs Weasley: Yes, it is… We decided that you and Ron should get married as soon as possible, so that Voldemort will leave you alone.
Me & Ron: WHAT?!
Mrs Weasley: That’s what you heard. You’ll get married! Isn’t it amazing?
Me: Humm…
Ron: Well…
Me: I…
I really didn’t know what I should say… It was a big surprise.
I really wanted to marry Ron. I was sure of that… but… I was only sixteen… this wasn’t what I had dreamt for my future… I’ve always dreamt about becoming a vet of magical creatures and getting married after that… I wasn’t ready to get married and have my own family… not at this age…
But, on the other side, I loved the idea! I was going to marry the love of my life and no one would separate us!
Mum: Mimi? Ron? Say something…
Ron: Humm… what do you think, Mimi?
Me: I…I… I love the idea! *I smiled*
Ron: Me too!
Mrs Weasley: Well, let’s do this in a traditional way… *she gave Ron a little box*
Ron: Oh… humm… *he went down on one knee and took my right hand* Miriam Evelyn, Princess of the Fairies and Princess of my heart, would you like to marry me?
He opened the little box and I saw a very beautiful ring. It was silver and had a pink precious stone.
Me: Yes, Ronald Weasley! I do want to marry you!!!
He put the ring on my finger.
Mrs Weasley, Mum, Dad: KISS! KISS! KISS!
And we kissed.
Then, I saw her, Aislin. She was outside the door, crying even more and looking at us. Maybe that reminded her of Aaron, her boyfriend…
