Chapter Three; The Three Sisters
Early the next morning Harry and the rest of his family woke up, showered, and ate breakfast before Jessie, Aaron, (along with the rest of The Dragons) and Brittany arrived at the house. Then they all stepped inside the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo powder. Angel guided Tobey inside while Harry carried Zip and Eve carried Precious.
"The Imperial vacation club." Snape said before he threw down his floo powder and they vanished inside the green flames. They all reappeared near the doorway of the hotel.
"Wow! We get to stay here!? This is so totally awesome!" Heather exclaimed excitedly before Snape placed his finger to his lips and hushed her.
"Inside voice." He told her before he picked her up and kissed the top of her head.
"Sorry Daddy." She apologized sheepishly with a hang of her head before they exited the fireplace.
"Alright, I'll go ahead and check us in and then we can go and get in our swimsuits." Harry said.
"Yay!" Heather cried while extending her fists into the air before covering her mouth with her hand. "Oops, I mean yay." She said as everyone else laughed and Snape placed another soft kiss onto her forehead with a grin.
"You guys go ahead, I don't want to go swimming. I'm just going to take a walk down by the beach." Eve said.
"Are you feeling okay?" Ron questioned her.
"Yeah it's just that well,.. it's a pretty bad time of the month for me." She told him.
"You mean you're on your period!?" he hollered.
"Ron, inside voice!" Ginny snapped at him. "Besides, you shouldn't go around embarrassing her like that." She said as Eve turned around and slowly began walking away.
"What's wrong with Eve?" Heather asked her father questioningly while Harry walked up to the front desk.
"Nothing princess she'll be alright." He told her.
"Then why doesn't she want to go swimming with us?" she wondered.
"I think it's because she misses her boyfriend." Hermione began. "I'll go with her to make sure that she's alright." She finished as Ginny nodded.
"Me too." She agreed before they turned around and started walking away before they disapparated.
…
Eve kicked off her sandals and wadded inside the ocean. That's when suddenly Hermione and Ginny appeared behind her. "Are you alright?" Hermione asked her out of concern as she let out a rather large screech and quickly turned her head to look behind her.
"Don't do that!" she snapped.
"Sorry. It's just that Ginny and I were worried about you." Hermione told her.
"Yeah don't worry about Ron," Ginny began with a wave of her hand. "He might be the headmaster at Hogwarts but he's not very bright when it comes to girls." She explained.
"It's alright, that wasn't the only reason why I left." Eve began before she breathed a deep and heavy sigh. "Mum always talked about wanting to come here when she was alive and she never had the chance." She told her.
"I know, but you shouldn't let that ruin your entire trip. She would want you to have a good time." Hermione told her when suddenly Eve hushed her. "What?" Hermione questioned as Eve quickly placed her finger to her lips and hushed her again.
"Don't you hear that?" she asked her before she got back out of the water and slipped her sandals back on before she turned around and started running through the sand.
"Eve wait! Come back!" Hermione cried as she and Ginny ran after her when suddenly they reached the other side of the beach and saw a tiny little dolphin shaking its entire body and shrieking frantically while it desperately tried to free itself. Hermione gasped and placed her hands on top of her cheeks. "Oh no, it's beached." She said.
"Poor thing!" Ginny exclaimed.
"What are we going to do!?" Eve cried. "We have to help him, he's beached!"
"Her." Ginny said.
"Really? How can you tell?" Eve asked her.
"From the slits on her belly." She said as she pointed to them.
"Wow, I didn't know you knew about dolphins." Eve told her.
"We have to get her back in the water. Then we can call your father about it. He'll know what to do." Hermione said as all three girls kicked off their sandals and then waded into the water in front of her.
"Alright now push." Ginny said.
"It's not going to hurt her is it?" Eve questioned her anxiously.
"Don't worry, it won't. Now push." Ginny instructed as the girls gently placed their hands up against her and pushed unaware that three other girls had spotted them and were now racing towards them. One was about Harry's age, the other was a few years older than Teddy and Heather and the third and final sister was just about their age. All three girls had dark hair and dark eyes.
"Are you alright?" the oldest sister asked them inside an American accent.
"Yes we're fine, we're just trying to get her back into the water." Ginny said when suddenly the dolphin broke free of the shore and swam back out into the water. She let out a little cackle before she leapt into the air and splashed back into the water. Then the girls all turned to look at each other.
"Wow, I'm glad she's okay. My sisters and I heard all of the commotion and we were worried about her." The oldest girl told them before she stuck out her hand and offered it to Ginny. "I'm Sabrina by the way, and these are my sisters Tracey and Casey." She said introducing them by the order of age and glancing over at them with a warm and loving smile as she said their names. Ginny took her hand and shook it.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Ginny Weasley and these are my friends Hermione Granger and Evangeline Snape. Of course everyone just calls her either Eve or Evie." She said as she glanced over at them.
"You're not from around here are you?" Sabrina asked them with a grin as Ginny grinned back at her.
"No, but I guess you could already tell from our accents." She told her.
"It must have been a pretty long flight." Tracey said with a giggle.
"No, not really. It just took a few minutes. We traveled here by floo powder." Eve said as Hermione quickly elbowed her in the ribs.
"Really? You're witches too?" Casey questioned them with astonishment and bewilderment.
"You mean, so are you guys?" Ginny questioned them with uncertainty.
"Yeah, and so was our mother. Our father was a nomaj." Sabrina told them. "They both died in a car accident though." She explained.
"So wait you guys are orphans?" Ginny asked them as all three of them nodded sadly at her.
"I'm sorry." Eve began. "But what exactly is a nomaj?" she asked them.
"It's somebody who doesn't have any magic powers." Tracey told her.
"Oh, where we come from we just call them muggles." Eve said. "Well you should come back to the hotel with us. There are some people that I want you to meet." She told her before the three other girls agreed and started walking away with them.
