"It's okay Rose, really."

"Thank you. I promise I'll try to be more careful of the words I say. I didn't mean to hurt you, and I just…"

"Rose, I'm not going to give up one of my only friends just because we don't fully see eye to eye in certain instances," I interrupted her, stopping her rambling, "You're the sister I never had. I wouldn't give up family because of one stupid fight. I shouldn't have gotten so upset when you voiced your opinion. You and your family mean the world to me, and I fully understand how you could wish to have a life like mine, in the shadows and out of the spotlight. The truth is you have it good, and I wouldn't count your family out, not by a long shot."

"I just want to feel normal," Rose said looking away.

"Okay, that's gotta change, because you're never going to be normal. You're a witch for Merlin's sake!" I said with a smile.

"Okay, that's true," Rose replied, giggling back.

"Maybe when we get back tonight, we could ask your mom to take us on a no magic girl's trip. You, me, her, and Lily and your Aunt Ginny if they want to go too?" I offered up as a suggestion.

"Oh Iz!" Rose squealed, throwing her arms around me, "That's a perfect idea!"

"What's a perfect idea?" Albus said from behind us.

"Nothing!" We chorused back to him.

"Tell us, or you don't get your food," James said, hiding the food from our sights.

"Girl stuff," I said, hoping that would get them to drop it.

"Nevermind," James said, moving our food quickly toward us, "Here you go and just let me or Albus know if you need anything else. We'd be more than happy to help."

"James?" Albus asked, looking bewildered, "Weren't you just saying next time they could go get their own damn… Ow!"

James had elbowed Albus hard in the ribs, and gave him a look that screamed "shut up".

"Nevermind him girls."

The boys took their seats just as we heard the whistle for the match to start. We whistled and cheered as Ginny carried the quaffle towards the goal posts.

~ Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages ~

A voice had sounded over the speakers, and we were meeting our commentator for the first time that day. It was loud and full of enthusiasm. Perfect for a day at the Holyhead Harpies's quidditch pitch.

~ I'm your commentator Lee Jordan, and I will be bringing you the best commentary you could have asked for today ~

"Mum said he's been that cocky since his Hogwarts days," James said, "But no one gets rid of him because he's always so loyal to the teams he speaks for."

~ Potter has the quaffle, dodges a bludger, passes to… And Wilkens satches the quaffle out of the air, passes to Clermont who scores for the Magpies, giving them an early ten point lead. Potter has the quaffle again, passes to Hastings, who fakes a shot to the left goal, passes back to Potter, who hits the quaffle into the right goal with the back of her broom. Talented witch she is, Potter has tied it all up. ~

Lee Jordan went back and forth like that the whole match. Contrary to popular belief I thought he was a right, good commentator. Better than any I had heard at any football match. I was also impressed at the number of words that came out of his mouth before he took his next breath. It was quite a feat that he was accomplishing, almost like he had been made for the job.

"Hey," Rose whispered, leaning in my direction, "How did you know that would work on James?"

"What?" I whispered back, "Saying it was girl stuff? I've heard older girls at school say it, and the boys do whatever they say. We can't use it too often though, but it does get you out of doing things for like a week at a time."

"Hmm," Rose whispered thoughtfully, "Remind me to ask my mom later."

"Will do," I responded.

I ate some of my chips and took a few bites of my meat pie. The score of the match was 40-30 in favour of the Harpies. There hadn't been a score in quite a few minutes and I started to feel the need to go to the loo.

"Hey Rose, I gotta go to the loo. Come with me?"

"Yeah, of course Iz," Rose said.

We walked past the boys after convincing them that we would be okay on our own, and that we were going to do some shopping as well. We were able to hear the commentary and watch the game of screens as we walked around. We had to wait in a long line for the loo, but were able to get in pretty quickly compared to lines in a couple of the other lavatories we had passed.

I was done before Rose, so I walked outside to wait for her. I heard a couple of familiar voices, and turned around only to see my brother and Scorpius. When I turned to get back and hide in the line I had just waited in, but felt a hand on my wrist and knew it was too late.

"Just one break Harry, just one please. I mean I just got better for Merlin's sake."

"Feels as if someone has a little secret. You wouldn't be hiding something from you new friends now, would you? Thought they were your family, no wait that's me," Harry whispered in my ear.

He was gripping my wrist hard, trying to make me feel pain or trying to get me to latter reveal my secrets to my friends. I didn't know which. I made eye contact with Scorpius, giving him a small look for help.

"Harry, we should get going before someone gets to wondering where Isabella is and starts looking."

"Yeah, whatever," Harry spat at him.

Harry was never one to hold onto friends for very long. He never knew how to treat people right. I pitied him for that because it was going to make him chase away his only friends just like he always did. Of course in turn that always made things worse for me, so I realized I shouldn't pity him too much.

I thanked Scorpius with my eyes, before crying out into my brother's hand. I felt a sharp, stabbing pain on my wrist as my brother's nails opened my flesh for that second time that day. He had his hand over my mouth which had prevented me from screaming.

"See you at school sis."

I watched them walk away, and then knelt down out of site to examine my wrist. It wasn't too bad, just bleeding about as much as it had been earlier, before I had bandaged it. Now I the only problem was there were more scrapes cutting across the marks I had made earlier. It hurt much worse too. Probably because I wasn't desensitized to the pain my brother put me through yet.

I slung my pack off my shoulder, grabbed out my first aid kit, and bandaged my wrist up again. Trying to keep as much blood off of my jersey as possible. I tried to keep an eye out for Rose, and saw her just as I had finished putting my pack back on.

"Rose!" I called out to her, giving her a wave.

She saw me and walked over to me.

"I almost thought you had left me all alone," Rose said in a sigh of relief.

"Never," I said confidently.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her off to the stores. We stopped at a Honeyduke's to pick up some Caramel Cobwebs, Chocolate Frogs, Sugar Quills, Fizzing Whizzbees, and Licorice Wands. We knew that the boys would want some of our candies, so we got them a bag to share as well. Then we passed the store I had been in earlier, and I decided to go back inside.

"Anything you wanted?" Rose asked me.

"Well if I had the money I would get a Potter jersey and that hat over there, but I don't have the money."

"Well we do, and we all already have so much Harpies merch that we don't need more."

"Rose, you really don't have to spend all this money on me."

"I know, but I don't need anything. Neither do the boys, they would agree with my decision entirely."

"Only if you're sure," I said hesitantly.

"Of course I am. You're family doesn't treat you fairly, but we will. You're one of us now Iz, like it or not. So we're going to get you the things you want."

She grabbed a jersey that was in my size and one of the hats that I had picked up earlier, making her way to the front desk to pay for everything.

"Hey Rose?"

"Yeah Iz?"

"Thanks," I said, giving her a small smile.

"Oh no need to thank me dearie, as Gran would say," Rose said, mimicking Molly's voice.

We both laughed, and she handed me my hat and jersey. I threw on the hat, and put my new jersey in my pack. I was happy to have a real, genuine Potter jersey. The jersey I had on was a cheap, knock-off jersey that didn't have any name on it at all. I hugged Rose tight before we started on our way back to our seats.

"Butterbeer?" Rose asked.

"Butterbeer," I agreed.

We went to the nearest stand and bought our group four butterbeers, one for each of us. Then, we made our way back to the boys, handing them each a butterbeer when we got there. I also pulled out the Honeyduke's bag we had gotten for them and handed it over to them.

"You girls sure are life saver you know that?" James said.

Albus was nodding in agreement as he was already halfway down with a chocolate frog.

"For once, I would like to get someone who isn't related to me," Albus said, looking over his card.

We all laughed at him, but we knew it was true. The most common cards to come in Chocolate Frog packages were of their parents, everyone knew that.

~ Still no sign of the snitch, and the score is 200-160 in favour of the Magpies. It isn't looking too well for the Harpies if Melloy can't find the snitch soon. And in goes Campbell for the Harpies, closing the gap by another ten points. Wait, what's that, Melloy is on the move, as is Anderson. It seems as if the snitch has been spotted. Only question is who will get there first. ~

We, along with all the other fans, were up on our feet cheering on Melloy. We all wanted a win and it looked as if Lily Melloy was going to get it for us. Bludgers were flying all over the place back and forth between each team, and amongst all of the chaos and confusion, the Harpies had caught up and tied the score at 220. We screamed ourselves horse, as we cheered on Melloy.

The seekers both dove for the pitch, pulling up the noses of their brooms just before they hit the pitch entirely. Then the stadium went silent as a bludger hit Melloy off her broom. She landed on the pitch, but didn't make any move to get up. All she did was raise her fist, open her hand, and reveal the snitch.

The crowd went wild with cheers for the home team, as they made a victory lap around the pitch.

"Let's go wait for mum by the locker room, I'm beat and want to go home," James said, draining the rest of his butterbeer from the bottle.

"I'm down for that," I agreed.

Rose and Albus nodded in agreement, and we headed off to the locker room. I kept an eye out for Harry, but didn't see him anywhere, which made me happy. Once we reached the locker room we waited for Ginny, and once she came out we left for The Burrow.

I smiled as I thought back through my day. The second half had been one of the best days of my life, and I was proud of that. I hoped that the rest of break would hold just as many surprises for me as it had already. I just hoped it wouldn't end too soon.
