Chapter 10 - Collecting Michaela

"Mum, Dad, you back," squealed an excited Michaela.

She ran up to Minerva, squeezed her tightly and kissed her cheek. "I have missed you wee one. Did you enjoy spending time with your grandparents?"

She nodded vigorously then jumped into Albus arms. She pouted her lips then asked, "Bring me something back?"

He smiled then pulled out a small package from underneath his cloak. "Of course I did."

She took the package then ripped it on. Her face lit up when she saw the small wooden phoenix. She held it up and said, "Fawkes."

"Yes it does look like Fawkes, doesnt it?" he observed amusedly.

She kissed his cheek then wiggled out of his arms and skipped over to Albus mom. "Look Nana," she said holding the phoenix.

The older woman cuddled Michaela while responding, "It's lovely dear."

"Kitten, are you ready to go home?" asked Albus.

"Yes Dad," she said loudly then ran back to him and clutched his hand. She turned back to the elderly couple, waved and said, "Bye Nana, bye Granddad."

Minerva gripped the little girls other hand before they portkeyed to their rooms at Hogwarts Castle.
