Nocturnal Nights ( Harry Potter ~ Marauders Era )

Chapter 22

Swallowing a large lump in my throat, I calmed my self back down before looking back up at them." Now, bear with me. I'm going to tell you a lot that you didn't know about me, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier." I cringed, still feeling the pang of guilt." Well, for starters, I have Insomnia. It's a condition that effects my ability to stay sleep or even fall asleep in general."

"But I've never seen you have problems sleeping." Victoria admitted, tilting her head.

" Yeah, but you know that blue blanket? It was made with a magic that causes whoever to use it fall asleep."

They all voiced sounds of understanding and Jolie spoke up this time," I just thought you were kind doing one of those baby attachment things. " She admitted.

I grinned at her, knowing that that might as well of been one. Shaking my head, I got back on track. " Next, uhh- so you remember talking about my aunt? How she's the only witch In the family that I know of?" They all nodded. " Well, you've already met her."

" Wha-"

" My aunt is Professor McGonagall." I blurted out before they could go on again. They all stared at me in incredulous ways, like I was crazy.

It was Alyssa this time who stood up from my trunk and gave me a look. " You mean to tell me that our Transfiguration teacher, McGonagall. The most strictest and uptight woman on this grounds... is your family."

I gave them a sheepish nod and Victoria spoke up," You know, I can actually see it." Everyone looked at her as she rubbed her chin in a thoughtful way." You're always the best in her class, she always snatches you away to talk, she even lets you off for things Gryffindors couldn't get away with."

"-Thisbe's never done anything to even get let off for."

"-but if she did, she would've." The tall girl countered with a mischievous look and sly tone. I scoffed at her and leaned back on my pillow, finding her act amusing. " But think about it. The whole thing with you learning to be an Animagus. Who better to teach you than someone who is one, and so happens to be your own aunt. Of course, that's why you got the chance in the first place you cheeky bastard." She went on, now standing up from her spot and pacing around the room.

Alyssa sighed again and leaned even farther into the bed. Glancing back at me, she raised her eyebrow in a questioningly manner. " Any other super secret spoilers that we should know of?" She asked sarcastically. I gave her a shy chuckle making her groan. " Spill." She demanded.

" So, now that you know about my abilities, Dumbledore decided to put them to use." I explained calmly.

" You mean Headmaster Dumbledore!? Thisbe, you are literally hiding a secret agent life under your image of a nerdy third year! Do you know how awesome that is !?" Jolie exclaimed, waving her hands to add to the effect.

I gave her a look, before going back to what I was saying," As we know, owl lettering is one of the most popular mailing methods in the wizarding world."

" Don't bloody tell me you're Dumbledore's personal messaging owl too! " Victoria yelled, desperately clawing at her hair and eyes when I gave her grin.

" Only for the school though, not the headmaster." I strictly corrected," You know, the important things that no one can know about. I don't even know what I'm delivering! Besides, last night was my first trip." I cleared up for them, trying to make this whole thing as simple as possible.

"Wait, where did you go?"

" Manchester. I had to deliver some box to a tall rude bloke that thought me to be an adolescent. I wanted to honestly claw his eyes out." I told them with all honesty, not even feeling the need to hide anything from them now.

When I looked back up from picking at my cuticles, I noticed them with their mouths dropped open. " You flew all the way to Manchester? That's like four hundred miles away! " Alyssa exclaimed, holding her hand up to her forehead.

" You do know owls fly from like here to America and such all the time right? It honestly wasn't far." I inquired.

" Yeah, but you were gone for like sixteen hours! Imagine a full trip to the states! You would be gone for like two days." Jolie calculated, counting the hours on her fingers.

I was starting to get annoyed at their constant bickering, and I was getting a bit mad." Then so be it. Look, you might think that it's a stupid idea, but this is the first time in my life that I actually felt important. That I actually get to do something that might make a change. I don't feel like the quiet push around anymore when I do it." I expressed to them by raising my voice, and with my morally week self I could feel the back of my eyes staring to burn. As If I was close to crying.

They were quiet for a long while, staring at me with sadden eyes, trying to find the right words. " Thisbe, we don't think you're a push over." Alyssa spoke first with a soft voice.

" We didn't know how much this truly meant for you, and I must admit that it does seem pretty dangerous. But no matter what ...we'll support you." Victoria added for everyone, leaning on the bedpost and staring down at me. I looked up to them, seeing as the other two nodded in agreement.

" You will?"

" Always."
