Part 3
I don't know how long Mike and I lay on the ground, both silent except for my weeping. Just as dawn was about to peer over the horizon we heard twin footsteps and, "Mike? Mira? Hello?" in soft tones.
"Cassie? Carrie?" I managed to whisper, my throat sore from crying. The twins rushed over, clearly overjoyed to see us. But after looking past us their faces turned ashen, "Oh Mum…. oh Dad…oh my god…." The girls started wailing in unison. Then Cassie brought herself together and said, "What happened?"
"Can you unlock us and then we'll tell you?" I said trying my hardest to be patient with them.
"Oh! Sure-I'm so sorry Mira I should've-" Cassie ranted but I cut her off.
"Relax Cass. You're just upset." I soothed. Cassie, calming down, muttered the counter curse while Carrie-the stronger twin-helped Mike up. Mike needed support from the twins as I hurriedly rushed over to my parents to check their pulse. Thank you god. They are still alive.
"Help me lift our parents onto the bed. They aren't dead yet." My siblings' faces showed a strange mix of relief and horror. I realized that that was definitely the wrong thing to say.
"No-wait. T-that's n-not what I-"I stuttered.
"Mira-really its ok." Mike said, hugging us three girls all together.
"Ok…Mike could you tell them what happened? I think Dumbledore will want to know too-I'm gonna send him an owl." I said shakily. I went out to the small owlery that Dad had made for my Mum's owl Lola and my owl Secret. I prodded the two awake and took two pieces of parchment and quill from the desk where it was kept. First I scribbled a neat but urgent note to Professor Dumbledore explaining what had happened and asking him to come seeing as he was the most trusted adult I knew. Then after Lola had flown away I wrote a note to Harry-I abandoned neatness and adopted desperation.
Harry,
Please come-Bellatrix and Narcissa attacked my house and hurt my parents and I need you. Please hurry…. please.
Xoxo Mira
Secret flew fast so I knew Harry would get it. As I watched her glide away I saw that morning was officially here.
Peachy. Now I haven't gotten any sleep-I must look terrible and I need a shower. But what about my parents…ah this is so screwed up. I returned to the house where I found Mike finishing up the awful "story" and told them that Dumbledore and Harry should be arriving soon. Then just as I was finishing putting blankets over my Mum and Dad. I heard a loud crack behind me and was engulfed in a hug. Breathing in Harry's scent I started crying. The tears were a mixture of sorrow, relief, and total and utter security-something only found in Harry's arms.
"It's ok Mira. They can't hurt you anymore-I won't let them. You aren't hurt are you?" he asked softly. I shook my head still resting my cheek against his chest. Then I heard another crack-softer as if the apparater had had much practice. Dumbledore had arrived and upon the site of me crying in Harry's arms, Mike and the twins huddled by Mum and Dad- who were unconscious, and his only comment was: "Oh dear."
