Chapter 21
The sun was rising and casting its worm glow onto the world of Hogwarts. The Professor all started to toss and turn as they woke for a new day. Nobody was really happy to be waking up yet at seven arrived they all had got out of bed. The students though were different. Most were still asleep while only a few were awake.
In Oliver Wood's room both members were still fast asleep yet as an alarm clock went of they both groaned. Michiru Potter turned around and cuddled to a pillow while Oliver Wood turned his alarm clock of. After he accomplished his task he turned around and wrapped his arms around Michiru's waist burring his face into her shoulder and breathing in her sent. They staid like that until knocking could be heard at the door. With out thinking Oliver got out of bed and made his way to the door opening it he blinked sleepily to see Professor McGonagall standing there.
"What can I do for you Professor?" he yawned stretching his arms over his head.
"I see you hadn't waken up as of yet Mister Wood." She said shaking her head.
"It's not a normal thing for a Quidditch player to sleep in late." He told her rubbing the back of his head. Yet as he looked at her he saw that her eyes were wide and focused on something behind him. Turning around he saw Michiru standing there wearing one of his t-shirt's that hung of one shoulder. Her hair was dishevelled while she was rubbing one eye.
"Hello Professor may I ask why you call at such an early time?" she asked the Head of Gryffindor.
"Michiru Potter what on earth are you doing here!" the Professor screeched making both of them wince.
"Spending the night with my boyfriend." She answered making her turn to Oliver with anger shining in her eyes.
"You both are spending the night with each other?" she hissed eyes narrowed.
"Yes Professor, since this summer. I went to Michiru's this summer and ever since then we have been well sleeping in each others beds. I have Sirius's permission." He told her.
"I will be speaking with Mister Black about this Miss Potter." She said turning and leaving completely forgetting what she had been there for.
Looking at each other Oliver shrugged his shoulder and closed the door. Walking over to Michiru he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply. After a few minutes they let go of each other and smiled.
"I have a free morning." she whispered making him chuckle.
"Perfect bed." he whispered kissing her again and leading her to the bed.
…
Lunch came around and Michiru and Oliver both walked into the Great Hall making people turn. Most girls glared at Michiru as she kissed him on the chick as he said something. Arriving at Gryffindor table they both sat down Oliver enjoying the time he spent with his old team and girlfriend. Girls were still glaring at Michiru who in turn ignored them. They talked about different subjects mainly Quidditch and how he was handling the fans. When it finished Michiru had to leave for her class leaving Oliver in the capable hands of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
As the day went by, Michiru kept being asked if she could get autographs from Oliver and every time she said no. When she arrived in her boyfriends rooms she screamed in frustration and so alerting him of her arrival.
"What happened love?" he asked her entering the sitting room.
"Bloody fans, every break between classes I was asked if I could get your autograph for somebody. I swear I don't know how you put up with It." he said collapsing into his arms as he wrapped them around her.
"It's hard when you aren't used to It." he whispered. "Plus fans are always like this it comes with the life of a famous person." He said making her chuckle.
"I'm famous and you don't see magical people asking for my autograph." She told him.
"Well I don't think anybody really dares with your guardian being Sirius Black and everything." Oliver said making Michiru chuckle.
"Your right I would be scared of Sirius as well, after all he is a marauder." He said making him laugh.
"Why don't you and I take a nice walk around the grounds, the students are probably all inside and we can relax." He said.
"That would be great let me just change." She said running into his room making him wonder when she had brought clothes down here.
After a few minutes she come out wearing a set of pink and white Hello kitty pyjamas pants with a white sweater over it and white flip flops. This made him laugh as it was so out of character for her to wear pink.
…
Albus Dumbledore watched the two lovers as they walked the grounds. Minerva had come into his office this morning taking about find Michiru in Oliver Woods rooms only dressed in a over sized t-shirt that clearly belonged to the famous Keeper. He had been silently shocked but realised that Michiru was a very responsible person and that she trusted him to trust her in her life. Now watching them walking around joking and playing around was something he enjoyed. It was such a great thing love and this love reminded him plenty of James and Lily.
"What are you smiling at Albus?" asked one of the old Headmasters.
"Young Miss Potter and Mister Wood they are quite a nice couple." He answered. "Remind me of James and Lily." He said then turned to his desk and started to do some dreaded paper work.
…
Deciding to skip the Great Hall for diner both Oliver and Michiru made their way to the kitchens were they were met with happy house elves who served them immediately. After eating an amassing diner they both returned to Oliver's room were Michiru did her homework and Oliver massaged her shoulders making her attention leave her homework.
When ten hit they both decided to go to bed and fell asleep.
Life was good, they had each other they had great friends and great families but most of all they were in love and that's what mattered.
…
It was around one when Michiru heard banging at the door. Oliver was soundly asleep, his arms wrapped around her waist. Getting out of the bed she grudgingly made her way over to the door. Opening it she was met with a panting Sirius.
"Attack at Hogsmead." He said making her wake up in a blast of speed she had gotten dressed and told Oliver.
In a few minutes they were racing with Sirius to Hogsmead were battle was taking place. Looking around Michiru growled and started to fight. After a few minutes she found herself transforming into her goddess form and blasting the Death Eaters away. As battle went on Michiru made sure to stay close to Oliver. Battle went on but the enemy didn't seem to be very organised and fell fast. About an hour after they had arrived the Death Eaters were all captured and nobody had died. Michiru flew over to Oliver and gave him a soft smile.
"We should help the villagers." he said making her look around.
A few of the buildings were on fire and she made her way over to put them out. After doing that she flew into them and looked around to see if anybody had been trapped inside. It was lucky that she could fly as the floor didn't seem very sturdy after the fire. Looking around she heard whimpering and turned to see a little boy and girl huddled into a corner of the room. Flying over she smiled at them then gathered them into her arms. Leaving the building she was met with a hysterical woman who practically screamed for joy when she saw her holding the two children.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! My baby's are alive and safe thanks to you!" she told her making her smile.
"It was no trouble Ma'am." She told her softly. "But your children might need to be looked over by a healer for smoke inhalation." She told her.
"Yes that is a good idea." The woman said gathering both children into her arms and bustling away.
After a few minutes she continued on. Minutes past and after the second hour of being their Michiru was exhausted. She flew over to Sirius who was helping another person put the fire on the last building out and helped them making them smile.
"Thanks Michi why don't you go back to Hogwarts, you look tired." He said.
"I am tired." She whispered landing on the ground softly. Arms soon found their way around her waist and she looked up to see Oliver smiling at her.
"Lets get you back to the castle." He said wrapping an arm around her waist. She nodded in agreement and soon they were both on their way up to Hogwarts to get back to bed.
…
When the day started students had all but found out about the attack on Hogsmead. Most were scared while others were confused. Why would people attack Hogsmead? Yet by the end of the day those confused people knew why. For some reason Death Eaters were attacking places again and nobody knew who was behind it. Michiru herself had been asked if she knew anything about the attacks but brushed them of saying that she didn't. In reality she had a guess of who it was but didn't want to scare any of them. Like the Headmaster and most of the Professor's she thought it could be the work of a certain Dark Lord but she didn't know for sure. When an evening addition to the Prophet arrived she instantly started to read the front page.
Death Eaters attack Hogsmead
By
Joanna Kettle
In the early hours of the morning Death Eaters attacked Hogsmead, the magical village in front of Hogwarts. During the battle many Death Eaters were captured and some were even found dead. Nobody can tell why they are attacking once more and nobody knows who they are working under. Some people suspect that they are working under You-Know-Who again but others think they are working under a new Dark Lord.
A witness of the event reported that once again the Goddess class witch was fighting in the battle and was reported to be seen going back up to Hogwarts after the battle. Could it be that one of the Professor's of Hogwarts is a Goddess or God class Magic user or is it one of the seventh year students? The Goddess class witch was also reported in saving two children from a burning building.
In this battle, Albus Dumbledore was spotted also fighting the Death Eaters along side Sirius Black, Innocent ex-convict, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress and Head of Gryffindor, Remus Lupin, Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor and friend to Sirius Black, even Callisto Potter who had been rumoured that have disappeared after the death of her brother and also rumoured to have been one of the Professor's with the Canada students. . The people of Hogsmead would like to thank all the people who helped defend the village against the Death Eaters.
Just to say, this reported thinks that Hogwarts is quite a safe place with all those powerful people, a Goddess Class Witch, Albus Dumbledore, Sirius Black and even Callisto Potter, all extremely powerful people and who are the protector's of Hogwarts.

Shaking her head she turned the page to the magical users and found that the information was current. Smiling she folded the paper again and put it down.
So they weren't the only ones thinking the Lord Voldemort was commanding the Death Eaters. That was a very good thing, because she just knew the Ministry would be giving them a hard time about this.
"I don't think it You-Know-Who I mean the guy would have shown his face just to send mass panic around the world." A seventh Year Gryffindor said.
"Really the way I see it, if it is Voldemort he has an advantage staying hidden." She told them making them look to her for an explanation. "Well if he is alive and in hiding then people don't put their guard up enough even the Ministry wont have their guard at a high since they think it's only Death Eaters. Then when he knows they aren't suspecting anything BAM he will strike and causes mass panic." She told them making them think.
"She's right I mean that is a good plan for a Dark Lord.
"Well sometimes you have to think like them to survive in battle." She said smiling grimly. "Sometimes it's the only way to save your ass in battle." She whispered then stood and left the Great Hall.
Arriving in an empty class room she sat down with a sigh. Her trip to England was supposed to be filled with fun and Quidditch not battles and sorrow.
"A lemon drop for your thoughts." the Headmaster asked, making her look up.
"No thank you Headmaster." she said smiling.
"Very well then my dear strait to the point, what is bothering you?" he asked.
"Why do things always happen when I come to England, the last time I was hear the Death Eaters attacked at the Gold medal game then here at Hogwarts." She whispered. "My stay here was only supposed to be for fun and Quidditch, not battle and sorrow." She told him making him sigh.
"I had my suspicious that you were the Goddess class Witch." He said taking a sit and making her smile.
"Yeah that would be me." She whispered.
"Michiru, no matter how life goes their will always be conflicts." He told her. "It's just different when you aren't in the conflict and when you are." he told her.
"In my case I am part of the conflict because I am one of the protectors of Hogwarts. She said sarcastically and making him laugh.
"Yes indeed it does seem to be the case my dear but I will tell you a little secret." He said making her look at him. "I wouldn't have any other person protecting this castle, you Miss Michiru Potter are a very formidable fighter." He said.
"Well Sirius and Callisto can take the blame for that one, Sirius taught me Auror stuff." she said rolling her eyes.
"I may not like that you have to fight Michiru but I will support you if you do." He said making her smile.
"Thank you." she whispered hugging him.
The Headmaster was in slight shock for a few minutes but then return to hug with a smile.
"You are most welcomed my dear. Most welcomed." He whispered.
