Chapter 4: What Is Mireille?
It had been a few months and Mireille had settled in well at Hogwarts. Summer was getting closer and closer and it was already really warm outside. Mireille got on really well with everyone except Montague, who was getting more and more intrusive. He had followed her to the girls' bathroom once and wanted to turn her on, but thanks to the ghost (the sullen myrtle) that lives there, she had a little rest there. Myrte only said to Mireille when she thanked her: "Girls have to stick together. Whether dead or alive." It seemed right that everyone loved her there (in friendship.) She only had her bad dreams very rarely, maybe she was lying that on Draco. He had also changed a lot thanks to Mireille. He was much loved and wasn't that nasty to people anymore, which also gave him a lot of advantages. Even he slowly but surely became a little more popular with the other students. But something was no longer right with Mireille.Every now and then she became calmer. She didn't know why herself. Today was a very special day. It was Mireille's birthday. A hot party was planned for the evening to honor her, but that was still a secret. It was Saturday morning and the students were gathering for breakfast in the great hall. A wild flutter announced that the post owls were arriving. A large eagle owl with Berndtstein-colored eyes sat in front of Mireille. He held a large envelope in his beak. Of course, other owls also gathered around her, the birthday mail had, but she was interested in the big envelope from the eagle owl. She took the letter, scratched the head of the eagle owl, which then flew off again. Now the other owls crowded around them. “Can't you wait!” she snapped at the owls. Well apparently they couldn't and pushed on. Mireille rolled her eyes and took the letters and packages from everyone.But now a black envelope with a red Maltese cross caught her eye. This cross shocked her at first. She took it and tore it open. The letter said: "We'll get you soon. It won't be long. Happy birthday. Yours sincerely, Ares." Miry read the letter through at least a thousand times, but she still didn't understand what it meant. Many questions shot through her head. Who wants to get her or who is Ares. "Hey Miry-Mouse. Have a laugh. It's your birthday after all," Draco said. He was right, she didn't let that kind of rubbish spoil her mood, thought Miry. Mirielle tore open all the packages and dusted off many sweets and gifts. Suddenly two great owls came flying in with a very large package. She tore it open and a ... (drum roll) ... brand new electric guitar emerged. The letter that came with it was from her best friend, Billie, in America.Billie and Mireille and two other boys formed a band there that was quite famous in America. Miry opened the letter and read it aloud: Hi Miry. Happy birthday from all of us. We very much hope that you are well. Hopefully you will come back soon, because without you it’s so boring here. The guys and I wrote some new songs just waiting for the four of us to play them. Please write back soon and tell us what's going on at your school. Maybe we can come and visit you sometime. I love you my little angel. Best regards, your Billie. P.S. I hope you like your present. Have fun with it. Cu
Mireille had tears in her eyes, homesickness for America rose very quickly in her. She would love to spend time in America with Billie, would love to make music with him, laugh, talk about God and the world, hug him, smell his scent, see his beautiful green eyes, feel his friend's warmth and just be with him , near him, in his house, in his little world that is so huge.Or if he could only be here with her that would relieve the pain (you have to know that he is her best friend but she feels more for him, also the other way around. He always says "I Love You" but he means that rather like "love you" not that you wonder.) But the shock hardly passed because the next one came. Because Miry had completely forgotten the letter from your cousin (the thick envelope at the very beginning of the chapter). She read through her cousin's letter: Dear Mireille. Happy birthday and I really hope that you stir up a little Hogwarts. But don't do too much nonsense. Hopefully you received a lot of presents and made lots of new friends. You are probably wondering why the envelope is so thick. Firstly, it still contains a present and, secondly, there is another letter with it. Namely from your father. He gave it to me shortly before his death and asked me to give it to you on your 17th birthday.Please unpack the present first and then open the letter from your father. I don't know what's inside because it's still sealed. I'll send you the letter just like your father gave it to me. Then I wish you a lot of fun and I'll get back to you soon. Goodbye my sweet mouse.
Greetings to your cousin Melanie.
"Hui another present. And a letter from my father." Mireille was pleased. She unwrapped the present. There were two chains. One with a heart and the other in an oval shape, both of which could be opened. In the heart chain was a picture of Mireille and one of her cousin Melanie. In the other there were also two pictures, namely Miry's parents. She loved the bar and immediately asked Draco to put the chains on her. Of course he obeyed every word. "I'll open the letters later in our common room. Now I want something to eat first. I might have a bad temper." She neatly stacked the letters and began to feed what was in front of her.Draco suddenly crawled under the table. When he crawled up again he was holding a few bottles of Butterbeer in his arms. He distributed them to a small group of Slytherins and a bottle went to Mireille. The couple of Slytherins opened the bottles and started chanting "Happy Birthday" out loud. Many students joined (also from the other houses). Dumbledore thought that was so great that he sang along and Snape began to sing along as well. "Oh you're so stupid," said Mireille, embarrassed. “Stop singing, I'll start crying right away.” She screamed about it, but then had to start laughing hard. The song ended and everyone sat down again. "I thank you all. You are all so cute. So and now please don't star at me like that, otherwise I'll be red." she said. As she sat down, Draco suddenly got up and picked up his bottle. "To Mireille. To our little evil angel who mixed up Hogwarts a lot. (He now turns to Mireille) To you, Miry-Mouse."He took your hand and gave her a cute kiss on the hand. He sat down and the pair of Slytherins with the bottles all clinked to each other. Suddenly Professor Umbridge stood behind them and let out their famous" chrm, chrm ". Mireille turned and hers The expression darkened. "What!" Umbridge scowled at the same time. "Well. That can be done more politely (Mireille let out a vicious growl). It's all well and good that it's your birthday today, but I would like you to be quieter here. We all want to have our food here in peace and quiet. Besides, you are not at home here. Did they understand that. " " No I have not. (Umbridge looked at her with raised eyebrows) I don't see anyone here except you who is disturbed. And if you have a problem with enjoying my birthday here, you can also sit outside on the stairs and continue to eat there. There you have your peace."Mireille growled at her, turned and sipped her butterbeer contentedly. Many students and some teachers laughed at this and at the look from Umbridge." Don't get cheeky Miss Shaddix. Otherwise you will quickly find yourself in detention. "" Oh, that's the only thing you can say about it. You are threatening me with detention or deduction of points. Do you know what you are? I tell you. You are a fat, ugly, old toad who is too stupid to answer. Do not say anything. I already know what's coming. You are now trying everything to expel me from school. That's fine with me. Then maybe I can go back to America to my band. "Grumbled Mireille with no sign of respect or fear. Umbridge turned redder and redder and her head swelled so violently that it resembled an ugly red balloon. She snorted loudly, turned and walked straight out of the great hall. The students started violently to whisper, but very soon they broke out in huge applause.The Weasly twins roared encores and the Ravenclaw table brought one wave of Laola after another. The teachers looked at Mireille in shock. Nobody had dared to talk to her like that before. Snape laughed heartily about it and McGonagall tried not to laugh, but she couldn't because she snorted into her wine cup at the same time. The only ones who stayed calm and cool were Dumbledore and Mireille themselves. "Is what? I was just telling the truth, didn't I?" "So now I'm fed up. Oh Professor Dumbledore? I need to talk to you urgently." "Please, Mireille. What is it about?" "No technical devices can be used here at this school. But because I'm in the Muggle When the world grew up, I lack the technical equipment. I still have my cell phone lying around in my room, which is probably full of text messages, then my laptop, which certainly contains a bunch of emails by now, and I also got a new electric guitar as a gift that doesn't really work without electricity.I also miss my television. I haven't seen my favorite series for weeks. Do you know how bad it is for a girl when she's in the middle of puberty and can't watch her beloved soaps. And I miss my radio. When I get up early I always miss the familiar chatter of the radio announcer. That is why I wanted to suggest setting up a technology company. What do you make of it? I feel so alone without the technology. " " The same thing happened to me. "Hermione Granger got up and joined the conversation as did some of the other Muggle-born students. Dumbledore got up, walked around the table to Mireille and gently put a hand on her shoulder." Mireille. You are a very smart and brave girl. First you show Professor Umbridge where the
