Emma felt her bed vibrate and she awoke a little confused about where she was at first. She finally got herself out of bed and woke her friend.
"Lizzie, it's time wake up, we have to go to breakfast" Emma said. The girls noticed three other girls in the room just starting to wake up as well. One girl had long blonde hair and a little taller than Emma or Lizzie.
"Hi I'm Leah Longbottom, you two were sleeping when we came in last night" Leah said.
"I'm Emma Weasely, I think our parents know each other" Emma said.
"That's right; there is a picture of your parents at my parents wedding. What's your name?" Leah turned to Lizzie.
"I'm Lizzie Donavan" Lizzie said wobbling over with her cane. Emma took a towel and her toiletries with her to go take a shower.
"No Annie, you wait outside the door for me" Emma said. The dog obeyed her owner and sat loyally outside the door. After her shower Emma dried her hair with her wand and pulled half up with a small blue bow. Lizzie tapped Emma on the shoulder.
"I need help getting down the stairs, can I lean you?" Lizzie asked. Emma smiled and nodded.
"Good morning, girls, ready for breakfast?" Danny asked. Annie barked a yes.
"I'm sure you are, buddy" Danny said petting Annie's head. Jack walked up to Emma and tapped her shoulder.
'Good morning' Jack Signed.
"Good morning, Jack" Emma said.
"Guys, I need to use the elevator ok?" Lizzie said. Emma, Jack, Danny, James, and Leah all took the elevator with Lizzie.
"How are you on the stairs, Lizzie?" Leah asked.
"Ok, it's just very hard to manage them" Lizzie said. When the kids entered the Great Hall Harry greeted his son and niece and nephew.

"Hey Pal, your mother and I are so proud of you for making Gryffindor" Harry said.
"Thanks dad" James said.
"Emma and Jack, nice job guys, I told your parents last night you made Gryffindor too, they are very proud of you" Harry said.
"Thank you, Uncle Harry" the twins said.
"Uncle Harry?" Lizzie whispered.
"Oh and guys sorry to do this but you have to call me professor in class and I have to grade you the same as everyone else" Harry said.
"Even your own son?" Emma said standing on tip-toe and putting an arm around her cousin's shoulder.
"Sorry Pal" Harry said.
"That's ok dad, I'll work really hard too" James said.
"I know you will, and you two better work hard too" Harry said.
"We will, Uncle Harry" said the twins.
"See you in class guys" Harry said.
"Is having your parents at school kinda weird?" Leah asked.
"Yeah, but I don't have to see them all the time, even it puts a lot more pressure on me. My dad is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and my mum is the head of the Hogwarts Helping Hand program, which is for the students with disabilities" James said.
"Emma and I are in that program" Lizzie said.
"What you need it for, Lizzie?" Jack asked.

"I'm learning disabled from the chemo so I have an aid in classes with me and a counselor when I need to talk to someone, and a learning specialist who I meet with if there is a class I can't be mainstreamed in, I'll go see her and I'll take the class by seeing and she'll work one-on-one with me" Lizzie said.
"I have a counselor too, and a Deaf Advocator who will be my interpreter if I need one and will get me accommodations" Emma said.
"It's different for each disability but it seems like a good program thanks to Jack and Emma's mum" Lizzie said.
"It's an awesome area I've seen it. It like the common room expect is has special computers and special books, and awesome food every where" James said.
"If we need to take a break during a class we show the professor our triple H card and they'll let us have a ten minute break to get food or something to drink" Emma said.
"What's a triple H card?" Danny asked. Emma pulled her card. At the top it said Hogwarts Helping Hand Program. It also had her picture, her year, what house she was in, her disabilities and what her needs are.
"Our pictures will get updated every year" Emma said.
"That's really cool that they have this program for you guys" Danny said. Owls delivered the kids schedules at breakfast time

"Hey Lizzie, do you have counseling on your schedule?" Emma asked.
"Yeah Thursdays before lunch" Lizzie said.
"I have it Fridays after lunch" Emma said.
"Ah cool I have introduction to Magical and British Sign Language!" Danny said.
"What time, Danny?" Leah asked.
"Wednesdays and Fridays after lunch" Danny said.
"Lizzie and I have it then too" Leah said.
"That's gonna be the coolest class to take, we'll be able to Sign to Emma, right Em?" Danny asked.
"What, oh I'm sorry, I wasn't listening" Emma said. This made the other kids laugh.
'I think Danny fancies you' James Signed to his female cousin.
'We're just friends' Emma Signed.
"Does anyone know what they're saying?" Leah asked.
"It's nothing important" Jack said and smiled to himself. The bell rang and the students headed for their first class.

"Good morning class" Harry said.
"Good morning Professor Potter" the kids chorused.
"Who can define 'Dark Arts' for me? Yes Miss Donavan" Harry called on Lizzie.
"The Dark Arts is magic that is practiced by evil witches and wizards such as Lord Voledmort" Lizzie said.
"Yes, very nicely worded, Miss Donavan, excellent job, five points for your card and ten points to Gryffindor. Now how you can tell if someone will become a 'Dark Wizard or Witch?' like Lord Voldemort? Yes Miss Weasely" Harry called on Emma.
"If they're in Slytherin?" Emma said slyly. The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs had a very good laugh at this.
"I'll give you five points to your card for your sense-of-humor, Miss Weasely, anyone else? Mister Rude?" Harry said calling on a Hufflepuff.
"You can't tell?" the boy said shyly.
"Very nice, Mister Rude, ten points to Hufflepuff. Now sense you are first years we're going to focus on some vocabulary words for right now, and we'll get into some magic later in the year. So, Miss Donavan has already given us a beautiful definition of Dark Arts so we'll write that up there. Let's brainstorm guys, what comes to mind when you think Dark Arts?" Harry asked.
"Mr. Potter?" Harry asked.
"Lord Voldemort" James said.
"Very good, Mr. Potter, ten points to Gryffindor" Harry said.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I liked that class, Uncle Harry is a good teacher" Emma said.
"What's next?" Danny asked.
"Flying, then Potions, Lunch and Transfiguration" Emma said.
"You memorized the schedule already?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah" Emma said shyly. Danny's little crush on Emma began to grow stronger now. Emma blushed when she realized Danny was staring at her and Danny turned away as the kids continued to their next class.
