Jamie looked down at her plate eyeing her food as she thought, the first match of the year was tomorrow and it's against Slytherin. The two weeks before the match was hard on the team; Jamie had them practicing every chance they got. Since most of the players were new Jamie had them practice working together and talking to each other during practice. She read in a Quidditch book that the best team was a team that always talked to each other and worked together.

She could tell some of the team mates were irritated by her way of running the practice in the beginning but the last few days the team had really improved and enjoy working together. Even after practice they would all talk and sit with each other in the common room and in the Great Hall.

She and Daniel have been getting along well, but it was just during practice. After practice they wouldn't even look at each other rather then talk to each other.

"Hey are you alright?" she heard Ashley ask.

Jamie lifted her head up looking at her best friend "of course I am. I'm just thinking about the match tomorrow. Do you think the team is ready?"

Ashley rolled her eyes, the one thing she and Jamie did not have in common was talking about Quidditch. Sure Ashley like watching the sport, but when it came to talking about it, she would rather talk about something else. Then there was the fact that Jamie was just being Jamie worried about something.

"Jamie I've seen you guys practice. The team is good and they are ready for tomorrows match against Slytherin."

"But they cheat!" Jamie argued "can they handle the beating they would get from the Slytherins? I know I can and Chris, Jordan and Daniel, but what about the others that have never been in a match against a bunch of cheater?"

Sighing Ashley answered "you just have to trust your team Jay. I'm sure they will do well. You taught them well."

Jamie seemed slightly convinced and went back to picking at her dinner.

The Great Hall was full of conversation over the first match of the year tomorrow afternoon. Then a loud bang was heard as the doors burst opened, the voices died down into whispers as they looked over to the cause. A little boy stood in the middle of the door way, he ducked his head as everyone starred at him and started to look around.

"Mike?" Ahsley spoke first. Mike looked over in her direction waving at her. Ashley shoved Jamie getting her attention "Jamie! Mike's here!"

Jamie raised an eyes brow "Ash how could Mike be here?"

"Just look for yourself!" Ashley yelled getting annoyed.

Jamie rolled her eyes and turned to the doors, her jaw dropped once she saw Mike.

"Mike!" Jamie shouted, jumping out of her seat she race toward him, dropping down to his leave and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"What are you doing here?" Jamie asked once she pulled away, "how did you get here?"

Mike beamed "Harry Potter came to our house and told me he was taking me here. Can you believe that Harry Potter wanted to take me here?"

Jamie was speechless she only starred at Mike. She tried to guess why Harry would bring her little brother here or how he was able to get him to come. Their father would have argued with Harry and wouldn't let him take Mike.

"Your father seemed happy to let Mike go" Harry spoke as he walked through the doors and could see Jamie's confused gaze. "And Hermione was able to talk to McGonagall about Mike staying here."

"Thank you, but why is he here? He usually doesn't come until Christmas."

"To see your match!" Mike shouted with excitement "your friend Hailie wrote to me telling me your first match was this weekend. I told her I wish I could be there to cheer you on and then Harry was at our door asking me if I wanted to come with him to Hogwarts to see your match."

Jamie starred at Harry for moment and then gave him a small smile "Thank you, it means a lot to me that he could be here. You didn't have to go through the trouble though."

Harry shrugged "it was no trouble at all. Hailie and Sirius wanted to meet Mike. I read his letter also he really wanted to be at the match."

Jamie smiled then looked down at Mike "now we just have to find you some place to sleep."

"I can help with that" Hermione said from behind. Jamie turned to face her "He can stay in my quarters. I never use it and there a bed for him."

"Thank you, you and Harry have both done so much for me and Mike I don't know how to thank you."

"It's our way of thanking you for finding Hailie and taking care of Lily for us." Harry spoke "it was really no trouble."

Jamie smiled thoughtfully "Thanks Harry for bringing him here he wanted to come back to Hogwarts and he also wanted to meet you Harry."

"Yeah!" Mike shouted "I've read all about you. I even have a poster of you in my room!"

Harry smiled at the boy "Will if your sister and father let me I'll come get you and take you to my house and you can play with Sirius and Hailie anytime you want."

Mike's eyes twinkled with hope "really?"

Harry nodded "yes I have no problem with it and I'm sure Hermione won't either."

"Of course not" Hermione responded.

Mike jumped with delight and looked up at Jamie "did you hear that Jamie?! Harry wants me to come to his house and play with Hailie and Sirius!"

Jamie smiled "yes well you need to meet Sirius and Hailie in person before you go over. How did Hailie write to you I don't think she knows where we live."

"Aleu came with the letter from her and after that Hailie's owl started bring the letters to me."

Jamie nodded; Hailie was a very smart little girl but was happy she did it. Mike need to have friends in the Wizard world it would be better if he had friends before his first year. She hopped Mike and Sirius became good friends then she would be able to see the Potter more in the future.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Mike's stomach growling. Mike blushed as all the adults looked at him and Mike glanced at Jamie "I'm hungry."

Chuckling Jamie answer "why don't we get you up to the room you'll be staying in and ask Dobby to bring you something?"

Nodding Mike followed Jamie out of the Great Hall after saying hello to Jamie's friends, Harry and Hermione leaded the way.

While they walked Jamie started to give the rules "since its not a holiday there will be a lots of students around. Do not talk to anyone you don't know especially the Slytherins, but there is a boy named Stephen that is in Slytherin you can talk to him. While you are going to be staying in a quarter away from me you are not allowed to leave until I come get you. And please don't tell anyone the password to the quarters."

Jamie!" Mike cried irritated by his sisters nagging "I know the rules! I'm not a baby!"

Jamie stared at Mike stunned by his shouting "I know Mike, but you have never been around all the other students and some of them are dangerous. I just don't want you to get hurt or getting into trouble." She said once she was over her shock.

Mike sighed "I'm sorry, I just know the rules and your nagging gets annoying at times."

Jamie frowned "it's my nagging that keeps you out of trouble and makes you do your homework" she replied ruffling his hair. Harry and Hermione smiled to themselves watching the brother and sister moment.

"Hey!" Mike shriek pushing Jamie away from him and fixing his hair.

"Since when have you become the one to care about their hair?" Jamie asked as they stopped in front the painting.

Mike shrugged "Allison likes my hair when it's combed."

Laughing Jamie stopping outside of a painting "oh someone has a crush," she teased as they waited for Hermione to give the password. Once Hermione said the password and one by one they entered her quarters.

As soon as everyone was in the room, Mike gasped as he looked around the common room; it was exactly like the Gryffindor common room but smaller. Squealing Mike ran over to the couch and leaning comfortably into the cushions.

Harry smiled at the boy "why don't I call Dobby now?" Jamie and Hermione both agreed with him.

"Dobby!"

"Harry Potter sir and Harry Potter Mistress!" Dobby's greeted as he appeared in front of them. He smiled at the couple, he had aged, and his face held more wrinkles and his skin seemed paler. "Dobby has not seen the two of yous in years, how is Harry Potter?"

Harry smiled at his old friend "I'm fine Dobby Hermione and I have a family now our oldest Lily started her first year."

"Oh Dobby has to meet Harry and Hermione's daughter Lily!" Dobby squealed with excitement.

"I'll ask her to come meet you sometimes Dobby" Hermione answered.

Dobby nodded "What can Dobby do for you?"

"Well, Mike is hungry" Jamie respond standing next Hermione.

Dobby's smile grew larger "Oh Miss Jamie Thompson is here with little Mike?" Jamie nodded and asked Mike to come say 'hello'.

Mike smiled and waved "Hi Dobby."

Dobby waved back "what would young Mike like?"

Mike thought for a moment and grinned "A turkey leg and some pumpkin juice."

Dobby nodded and with a snap of his fingers the food appeared on a small table. Mike ran over to the table and started digging into the turkey legs. He swallowed and looked over at Dobby "come join me Dobby."

Dobby was stunned from the question but shook his head "Dobby has too much work to do, but thank you little Mike." He than turned to face the other three "would you like anything?"

"Just some butterbeers would be great Dobby" Harry replied taking a seat on one of the small chairs. Dobby nodded and snapped his fingers again and three bottles appeared on the table.

Jamie thanked Dobby and took a sip from her butterbeer watching Mike wolf down his food. She turned her gaze to Harry and Hermione even though she thanked them for bring Mike and had said was fine for him to come over to their house she was still unsure about it. "You didn't have to do this."

Both adults looked at her "I know you want to pay me back for finding Hailie and helping Lily but you don't have to bring Mike here. I don't need him asking you to just bring him here when ever he likes or bugging you because he wants to play with Sirius or Hailie."

'It's really no trouble Jamie, Hermione and I don't have a problem if he wants to come to one of your matches," Harry said. "We can just take him to the game and then take him back home so he doesn't have to spend the weekend here at Hogwarts. As for if him, Sirius and Hailie become friend it won't be a problem to let him stay with us at our house."

Jamie starred at the two, it would be nice for Mike to spend time with a really family if they invite him over and having more friends would be great for him. She was sure Harry could even show Mike how to fly if he asked. Signing with defeat she nodded "fine but if Mike is getting frustrating don't be afraid to tell him no."

Both Harry and Hermione grinned "Of course but I am sure he won't irritate us" Hermione replied. "Maybe you can come over on the weekends or holidays sometime?"

Jamie shrugged "maybe, I'm sure Mike would love to see me more."

Harry clapped his hands together "then it's settled you can join us for dinner tomorrow with the Weasleys all the Weasleys will be there including Daniel, Tonks and my family."

Biting her lower lip Jaime said "I don't know I don't want me and Mike intruding on a family get together."

"Nonsense" Hermione answered this time "the Weasleys will love to have you. Most of the children already know you from school. I'm sure most of them have told everyone else about you."

"Please can we go Jamie" Mike begging being the curious boy he is listened to their conversation.

Chuckling Jamie answered "I guess it would be okay as long as the Weasleys don't mind then I see no point in saying no to your offer."

"Yes" Mike said pumping his fist into the air and then started digging back into his turkey leg.

After Mike had finished his dinner Hermione and Harry said their goodbyes telling the two they would see them tomorrow.

Jamie waved to the couple until the portrait closed behind them, turning around she looked to see Mike on the couch a smile on his face as he leaned on the comfortable cushions, his eyes started to drop and he let out a big yawn.

"Alright Mike its time to go to bed" Jamie said making her way over to the couch and shaking his shoulder lightly.

"But I'm not sleepy" Mike grumbled his eyes were still closed but a frown replaced his smile.

"Mike your already falling asleep of course your tired" Jamie chuckled shaking his shoulder a little harder. Mike groaned and rolled away from her "but it's comfortable."

Jamie grinned "you and I both know the beds are more comfortable then the sofa and your bed will be bigger and very comfy."

Mike opened one eye and looked up at Jamie "can you help me up?"

Smiling softly Jamie nodded and helped Mike onto his feet. Mike stood on his feet swinging from side to side, Jamie pushed him light and together they made their way up the stairs. Once inside the room Jamie looked around the room seeing Mike's bag at the foot of the bed.

Walking over to the bag she took out his pajamas and toothbrush then she walked back to Mike and handed them to him "go get ready in the bathroom then I'll tuck you in."

Nodding groggily Mike took his belong and walked towards the door leading to the bathroom and closing the door behind him.

Jamie moved over to the bed pulling out the covers, the bed was a king size and there was enough room for Mike to move around. Mike was the kind that moved around a lot when he slept so the bed was prefect for him.

At the sound of the door opening Jamie turned around to find Mike in his flannel red and black pajama pants and plan grey under shirt. She couldn't help but smile she had tried to buy him superman or batman pajamas, but he had told her he was too big to wear pajamas for little boys and wanted big boy pajamas, so she purchased him pajama pants that had his favorite color. His favorite color before she went to Hogwarts was blue, but once she came home and told him want house she was in and what colors they were he changed his color to red.

"Come on Mikey it's time for bed" she said offering her hand. Once he took it she guided him to the bed picking him up and putting him into bed. She watched as Mike crawled into bed snuggling into the pillow.

Jamie pulled the covers back over him and kissed him on the head "night Mike I'll be back in the morning."

Mike yawned and closed his eyes snuggling deeper into the pillow "good night Jamie" he mumbled as he fell into a peaceful sleep.

Jamie walked over to the door getting out her wand she twisted her wrist and the candles on the nightstand by Mikes bed dimmed she also put a shield around the candle so it would not burn out or catch anything on fire. She looked at him one more time before closing the door behind her and walking down to her dorm.
