Sunny's potion
On a September Saturday morning, everyone was in the great hall eating breakfast. James had invited Sunny to join them since she didn't have any friends in Ravenclaw. The owls arrived with the mail, and Luna's owl dropped off a letter for Sunny.
As Sunny read the letter her eyes filled with tears. She dropped the letter and ran out of the great hall. James picked up the letter and read it with Ali who was beside him.
"Sunny, things are not well here. Your grandfather has been moved to the hospital. The doctors say he might not live till Christmas. Your grandfather has only one wish, a letter from you so he'll know how your first year is going. He loves you very much and is very proud of you. Stay strong, we'll get through this together-love mom."
Ali pulled the map out of James's rob. She used it to find Sunny, who had gone to her common room. Ali gave the map back to James then headed to the Ravenclaw common room. When she arrived she spoke the password, which Sunny had given her. The common room door swung open and Ali entered the common room.
She found Sunny sitting on the sofa writing a letter. Every few seconds she wiped away tears. Ali sat down beside her but didn't read the letter. Once she was done she sent her mother's owl to deliver the letter.
Then Sunny leaned on Ali's shoulder silently crying. An hour later Sunny asked to be alone. As Ali was about to leave, the common room door swung open and in came Rosalie. Ali turned and saw Sunny start talking with Rosalie. Ali resisted the urge to ease drop and left the common room.
Over the next few days Sunny was acting odd. She was happy and smiling, she spent most of her time with Rosalie. Sunny never told James, Ali, Olivia or Abby what was going on. One night in early October, James saw on the map, that Sunny and Rosalie were in moaning Myrtles bathroom after hours.
James woke up the girls and showed them the map. They used the invisibility cloak to sneak to the bathroom. There they slipped off the cloak and found Rosalie and Sunny making a potion on the bathroom floor.
"What are you making" Olivia asked.
"A cure for my grandpa" Sunny explained.
"What a good idea, how can we help" Ali asked.
"We need beetle juice, 5 spiders, green leaves, and pumpkin juice" Rosalie informed.
"I can get you the beetle juice" James said then left.
"I'll get you the spiders" Ali said then left.
"I'll handle getting the leaves" Olivia said then left.
"And I'll take care of the pumpkin juice" Abby said then left.
James used his cloak to sneak down to the potions class room, he had just happened to use some beetle juice for a potion earlier that day. In potions class James found some left over beetle juice in Professor Slughorns desk drawer. He then returned to the bathroom and gave it to Sunny and Rosalie.
Ali managed to sneak out of the castle without the cloak, she did however have the marauders map to keep a look out for teachers. Outside the castle it was pitch black out, so Ali had to use lumas to light her wand. Just outside the castle were a couple of Spider. Ali collected five, put them in a container and brought them to the bathroom where she gave them to Sunny and Rosalie.
Olivia luckily managed to sneak down the Herbology greenhouses undetected. There she across some green leaves, she didn't know how many was needed she plucked off several. She then headed back to the bathroom and gave them to Sunny and Rosalie. Luckily only 8 of the green leaves were needed so they had enough.
Abby sneaked down to the kitchens, where the house elves were asleep. (Yes Hermione had kept them however they much freedom.) Without waking any of them Abby found some pumpkin juice. Then she of course headed back to the bathroom and gave it to Rosalie and Sunny.
"How long will it take to make this" James asked.
The six of them continued making the potion in silence. Moaning Myrtle eventually came and watched, once in a while telling the story of the poly juice potion Harry Hermione and Ron had made. James had to admit was a funny story to hear about his aunt.
"So then Hermione turned into a cat, oh you should have seen it, it was awful" Myrtle recalled.
It was early morning when the children finally went to bed. Luckily the next day was the first Saturday of the month and there were no classes. However they were still exhausted when they went down to the great hall for breakfast. When the owls arrived, James Ali Abby Olivia Billy and Swan got letters. Even Hermione got one which probably from Ron and their kids. James even got two letters.
"James, how is your second year going? We miss you very much and can't wait to see you at Christmas. James this is Lily, I just wanted to say I'm still in one piece and my scar never hurts, daddy says that's a good sign. Hey James Albus here, dad's been giving my flying lesson maybe we play quiditch together next year when I start school? James, you must know the news on Luna's father, do take it easy on Sunny the poor thing must be so worried- dad, mom, Albus and Lily."
"James I'm almost done with that certificate you asked for, I do hope you're keeping your nose clean and that I'm not helping you break any rules. - Grandpa Arthur."
"Ali, Billy, I hope everything is well. Dove is officially a trouble maker like the rest of you. Ali I hope you're looking out for Billy and you're both staying out of trouble- mom and dad."
"Olivia, we hope you are well. Can't wait see you at Christmas. Right now I'm moving James's stuff in Albus's room, you'll officially have your own room. I sent Harry and my mom to your old house to collect your things, we thought it would make you feel more at home- Ginny."
"Abby, Swan, how you girls are well and enjoying your classes. Can't wait to see you at Christmas- mom and dad.
"Hermione, how is everything as headmaster? Is James driving you crazy yet? The kids say hi and we're all looking forward to seeing you at Christmas- Ron, Rosie and Hugo."
Every night for half of the following week, James, Ali, Abby, Olivia, Sunny and Rosalie worked on the potion. It was almost finished and smelled awful. Then on Thursday night it all changed.
In the Griffandore common room Rebecca woke with a start. She could feel someone had just passed away, and she knew who it was. She used her twin powers to find the location of her sister. She then crawled out of bed, slipped into her horse slippers, and headed to moaning Myrtles bathroom.
"Rebecca, why are you here" Rosalie asked.
"Someone passed away" Rebecca informed.
"Who was it" Rosalie asked knowing her sister could feel the soles of those who passed on.
Rebecca's eyes landed on Sunny and she knew not say the name out loud. So she used the twin telepathy she and Rosalie shared to reveal the name. Rosalie knew exactly who this person was.
"Right, um Sunny why don't you head to bed, I'll finish up for the night, you don't want to be tired in class tomorrow" Rosalie suggested to Sunny who nodded and left.
"Who is it, who died" Abby asked in a whisper.
"Xenophilius Lovegood" Rebecca revealed.
"Oh no we're too late, that's Sunny's grandfather" James realized.
"Oh the poor thing, she'll be devastated. She dedicated all of her time to make this potion" Ali stated.
"Are you sure" Abby asked.
"Yes I'm never wrong" Rebecca confirmed.
The next morning James invited Sunny and Rosalie to sit with them in the great hall. He know she needed all the support she could get, the worst part was she didn't even know yet. The owls swooped in a delivered the letters, as expected Luna's letter dropped one off for Sunny. Sunny began reading it and was too sad to cry.
"We're too late, my grandpa died last night in his sleep. This was who you were talking about last night right? The reason you sent me off the bed?" Sunny asked.
"Yes, we thought it would be best if you heard it from your mother, we're very sorry" Rosalie stated and hugged Sunny.
Once Hermione read her letter she looked up at Sunny. She got up from her seat at walked over to her. She then bent down beside her in and spoke in a soft tone.
"Sunny, you can skip all your classes today and have some alone time if you'd like" Hermione offered.
"Yes, thank you headmaster" Sunny replied.
"If you need to talk, I'll be in my office all day, the password is toothpaste" Hermione offered then walked back to her seat.
Sunny couldn't bring herself up to eat, so Rosalie escorted her to the Ravenclaw common room. After they left James opened his letter that Hedwig had delivered him. One was from his mom informing him about the death of Luna's father. The second one was from Arthur, it was the certificate stating Sirius Black was innocent. Knowing it was not a good time to bring it up, James tucked it away in his robes.
For the rest of the dad, James Ali Abby Olivia and Rosalie checked in on Sunny in between classes. They had to force her to eat supper. At night Sunny didn't even change in her pajamas she just slept in her Hogwarts uniform. For the rest of the month Sunny missed several classes. Each day Rosalie brought her the assignments from class and wrote down the answers Sunny said. Sunny didn't seem to be in touch with reality anymore.
