"Do you see your friends, sweetheart?" Mrs. Donavan asked Lizzie.

"There's Jack and Emma and Danny! Guys!" Lizzie said. Emma reached her best friend first and gave her a hug.

"Hi Lizzie" Emma said.

"Hi Emma, I so glad you guys came" Lizzie said.

"My mum is going to be walking the Survivor's Lap with you" Emma said.

"Hi Liz" Jack said hugging

"Hi Jack" Lizzie said shyly.

"Hey Liz, how's your summer going?" Danny asked.

"Ok so far, I don't go to camp until July and that's only two weeks" Lizzie said.

"You go to a camp for kids with cancer right?" Jack asked.

"Or in remission like me, yes" Lizzie said. When Hermione was exiting the car she slipped and fell to ground. She winced as Ron went to his wife's side.

"Mum!" Emma cried. Annie ran to Hermione and assisted Ron in helping her up.

"Oh no, is she alright?" Mrs. Donavan asked.

"You're alight, my darling, its ok" Ron said. Emma and Jack ran to their mother.

"Are you ok, mum?" Emma said hugging Hermione around the waist as Ron got Hermione's wheelchair for her.

"I'm alright, sweetie, thank you" Hermione said.

"Emma, step back for a second, Jellybean" Ron said taking Hermione's hand and helping her into the chair.

"Why don't you kids put your stuff in the tent" Mr. Donavan said. The tent was much like the tent Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed in at the Qudditch World Cup only much larger and muggles don't suspect a thing.

"Top bunk!" Emma shouted climbing up the bed like a monkey.

"Did you have cinnamon buns for breakfast, Emma?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes, and now the room is spinning" said Emma holing her head. Emma pulled out her penguin and placed him on her pillow along with her book.

"Come on, Emma, I want to get my face painted" Lizzie said. When the kids left the tent and found the face-painting place, they noticed the girls working it also did nails.

"Oh boys, you should get nails done" Emma smiled evilly.

"Oh no" the boys said.
"Oh yeah, we'll each give you five sickles if you get both your finger and toe nails done" the girls giggled.

"And we get to pick the color" Lizzie said.

"What my dear brother, Liz? What color would go good with his eyes?" Emma asked.

"Pink of course. Let's see, Danny has these nice blue eyes, let's give him purple" Lizzie said.

"Hello kids, what can we do for you?" the first woman asked.

"My brother and our friend are getting their nails done" Emma said.

"Oh no, poor boys, did you lose a bet?" the second woman asked. Emma got a penguin on her cheek while Lizzie got a hummingbird.

"Aww, you boys look so pretty" Emma giggled. James and Leah showed up an hour later.

"That's a good color on you, mate" James laughed at his cousin.

"The girls made us do it" Jack said.

"Hey you didn't have to take the bet" Lizzie said.

"Hey kids, oh my goodness, Ronald, come look at your son" Hermione giggled.

"Oh God, did you lads lose a bet?" Ron asked.

"No they won a bet" Emma said.

"Lizzie, you want to walk beside me, sweetie? We're going to start soon" Hermione said. Ron put Emma on his shoulders and walked over to where the survivors were walking.

"Yea Mum and Lizzie!" Emma shouted.

"Go Mum! Go Lizzie!" Jack shouted. Danny watched Emma bounce on her father's shoulders as she cheered on her mum.

"Go Aunt Hermione!" shouted James. Ron blew Hermione a kiss.

'I love you' Ron Signed to his wife.

'I love you too' Hermione Signed back. When the survivor's lap ended Hermione took Lizzie over the dinner they were having for the survivors.

"Here you go guys, go get something to eat. There's food over there" Harry said handing the kids some money. Jack tapped Emma's shoulder when they were getting food.

"That little boy is using Sign Language with his mum" Jack said. The mother had hearing aids. Emma decided to talk with the mother. Emma tapped her on the shoulder.

'Hi my name Emma' Emma Signed. The mother smiled at her.

'Hi Emma, my name Grace. Your parents deaf too?' the woman Signed.

'No, hearing, my brother too' Signed Emma.

'How you learn Sign?' Grace asked.

'Mum taught me. She knows Sign, dad too' Emma Signed.

'You Oral too then too?' Grace asked.

'Yes and I have a service dog. Your son deaf?' Emma asked.

'No, he a KODA' (A/N: That's a real term in deaf culture that means Kids Of Deaf Adults).

'You use your hearing aids a lot?' asked Emma.

'Yes, but it doesn't solve everything' Grace said.

'You read lips?' Emma Signed.

'A little bit, my parents are deaf too so they never forced me to learn to learn to lip read. You probably a Successful Oral. Both of my parents tried to but they just couldn't. The speech therapy wasn't as good back then. You get from reading lips all day?' Grace said.

'Yes, my brother, cousin and friends will Sign with me sometimes' Emma said.

'That good, my younger sister is only hearing person in my family' Grace said.

'So she really does fit that statistic. 90 percent of deaf couples have at least one hearing child' Emma said.

'You know some who had cancer?' Grace asked.

'Yes, my mum. She had leukemia when she was a teenager' Emma Signed.

'My sister had a brain tumor when she was eight. She's around here somewhere' Grace Signed.

'Honey, this Emma, she Deaf-Oral. Her parents are hearing' Grace Signed to her husband.

'How you learn Sign' Jake asked.

'My mum taught me' Emma Signed.

"Do you guys know what they're saying?" Danny asked.

"Only some" James said.

"The husband, Jake asked Emma how she learned to Sign" Jack said. Emma knelt in front of the little boy.

"What's your name?" Emma asked.

"Logan, is reading lips hard?" the little boy asked.

"Yes it's very hard, it doesn't come naturally" Emma said.

"How long did it take you to talk?" Logan asked.

"Three years" Emma said.

"Wow, you talk really good. Are you glad you can talk?" Logan asked.

"Sometimes, I get tired from it though" Emma said.

"My dad thinks deaf kids shouldn't have to speak. He doesn't talk with my grandma and grandpa because they made him have hearing aids. He hates them now" Logan said.

"Do your grandparents ever learn to Sign for him?" Emma asked.

"No" Logan said.

"That's why he hates them. They forced him to be hearing when he clearly wasn't. We don't see our deafness as being a terrible disability, only the hearing do. My mum said the doctor wanted me to get a cochlear implant but she didn't want me to because they're dangerous and she and my dad didn't see anything wrong with me" Emma said.

"Your mum and dad are good parents then, unlike my grandma and grandpa" Logan said. Emma turned from Logan back to Jake.

'Your parents were part of are part of Audism, aren't they?' Emma asked.

'I hate them with a passion; they never loved me, just because I "Failed" in lip reading. They didn't understand that being deaf isn't a sin, it's a blessing. Our culture is beautiful, Sign Language is beautiful, and you don't have to hear to be able to say 'I love you'. Right buddy?' Jake Signed to his son. Logan hugged his dad.

'Right Daddy' Logan Signed to his dad and hugged him.

'It was nice to meet you, Emma' Grace Signed.

'Nice to meet you too' Emma Signed.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Come on, Emma, let's get some food" James said.

"Let's go sit over there with those kids" said Emma.

"Hi, my name is Emma; this is my brother, Jack, my cousin James, and my friend Danny. Mind if we sit here?" asked Emma. The two boys didn't look up from their meals as they spoke.

"My name is Steven"

"My name is Evan"

"Are you want to sit with them, Emma, they're kinda weird" Jack said.

"Shhh, don't be mean, they're autistic" said Emma taking a seat next to Evan and the boys followed her lead.

"Are you twins? My brother and I are twins" said Emma trying to get them to make eye contact.

"Yes, I am 5.9 minutes older than Steven. We had brain tumors" Evan said.

"Really, how old were you?" asked Emma.

"Evan was diagnosed at 3 ½ and I was diagnosed at 4 ½" Steven said.

"How old are you now?" Emma asked.

"We're 13, how old are you are you, Emma?" Evan asked.

"I'm 12" Emma said kindly.

"You are really pretty" Evan said. Emma blushed. Danny felt a jealous rage run through him, he wished he could tell Emma that.

"Thank you, that's very nice" said Emma.

"You're nice, pretty girls never talk to us" Steven said.

"I kind of understand. I'm deaf" Emma said.

"We used Sign Language when we were little because we could get our words out yet" Evan said.

"Do you still use it?" asked Emma.

"Sometimes, if we're frustrated and we have a hard time talking" said Steven.

"Say something to them, be nice" Emma whispered to the boys.

"Um, do you guys play any sports?" James asked.

"Yeah we play football" Evan said.

"What else do you like to do?" asked Emma.

"Evan draws really well" Steven said.

"Do you have any drawings with you, I draw too" said Emma. Evan took his sketch book out of his backpack and put in front of Emma.

"Oh wow, these are so good! You like to draw buildings?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, that's our school. It's a special school for kids like us" said Evan. Steven and Evan's parents came back to their sons and noticed the young girl talking with them.

"Hi boys, who is this?" their mother asked.

"This is Emma, she's really nice" Steven said.

"Thank you for keeping our boys company" the father said.

"They're very nice boys, oh sorry that's our uncle, bye Steven, bye Evan" said Emma.

"Bye Emma" Steven said.

"Bye Emma" Evan repeated.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hey guys, who were those boys you were talking to, Emma?" Harry asked.

"Steven and Evan, they're twins and have autism" said Emma.

"Oh they must be high functioning" Harry said.

"They had brain tumors when they were 3 and 4" said Emma.

"Good lord, they're parents" Harry said.

"I know, I wonder how mum and daddy would be if that happened to us" said Emma.

"I don't think anything will happen to you guys" Harry said ruffling Emma's hair.

"Where's dad?" asked Jack.

"Oh he's with your mum and Lizzie at the Survivor's dinner. You guys want to walk around the track?" asked Harry.

"Look here's mind and Jack's" said Emma kneeling in front of her luminary.

"In honor of my Mum love, Emma" said Emma proudly with a drawing of a panther on the bag.

"There's Lizzie's from her parents" said Danny.

"In Honor of our special little girl, Lizzie" Jack said. When night fell everyone walked around the track together to look at the bags. Hermione cried when she saw the luminaries form her husband and her children.

"Thank you" Hermione cried hugging her husband. Emma and Jack kissed their mum's cheek.

"Thank you, Buddy" Hermione said kissing Jack's cheek.

'Thank you, Sweetie' Hermione Signed to her daughter.

'I love you, Mummy' Emma Signed.

'I love you too, Emmy' Hermione Signed backed. Hermione took her daughter's hand and mother and daughter walked the track together. Hermione and everyone else expect Emma herd Ron cry out when he saw a luminary for the patient he lost. Emma ran to her daddy and hugged him tightly.

"It's ok, daddy, she's in a happy place now, she's not in pain anymore" said Emma. Ron his sweet daughter's forehead and hugged her tightly.

"My sweet little girl" Ron whispered against Emma's ear letting her feel the vibrations even though he knew she couldn't hear him.

"My nice daddy" Emma said.

"How did you know what I said?" asked Ron.

"I felt what your lips said" said Emma.

"You made one for me, Emma?" Lizzie asked.

"Of course I did, you're my best friend" Emma said. Lizzie hugged her friend and found that James, Jack and Danny had made some for her too, she especially liked Jack's. Lizzie and Hermione, the survivors, were beginning to grow tired and they all headed back to the tent. The kids went to their room while the adults stayed up and had tea.

"Mione, you sure you don't want to go to bed?" Ron asked. Hermione shook her head.

"Your kids are wonderful, Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny we're so glad Lizzie made friends" Mrs. Donavan said.

"Thank you, Caroline, Lizzie is a very sweet girl" Hermione said.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Danny could pass me my pajamas please? It's those pink ones with the dogs" asked Emma.

"Catch, Em!" Danny shouted. Emma got under her covers and quickly changed into her pajamas.

"Emmy, go ask dad if we can make hot chocolate" Jack said. Emma rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen of the tent where the adults were.

"Dad, can we make hot coca?" Emma asked.

"No sweet pea, no sugar before bed" Ron said kissing Emma's cheek.

"He said no, I'm tired anyway, I'm going to bed" said Emma.

"Goodnight Em" said Danny.

"Goodnight Emma, thank you for the luminary" Lizzie said. Emma climbed into her bunk and was out as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The adults were off to bed as well. As Hermione was getting into bed Ron hugged her from behind and started kissing her neck.

"Well hello Mr. Weasely" Hermione giggled.

"Mm, when's the last time I made love to you?" Ron asked.

"I can't remember" Hermione smirked.

"I think you're overdue" Ron said.
