"Emma, I have my healer appointment today do you and Jack want to come with me? You and can see your dad?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah, I'd love to come" Emma said. It was Halloween and Ron made sure Lizzie didn't miss the Halloween feast. After lunch Lizzie, Emma and Jack climbed into the same carriage Hermione would take to her appointments.
"Miss Lizzie!" Ron said.
"I brought some friends with me. I hope that's ok" Lizzie said.
"Oh sure, bring them in" Ron said. Emma ran in and jumped at her father.
"Daddy!" Emma squealed.
"Hey guys ! What a nice surprise!" Ron said hugging his kids.
"You guys can have a seat right here" Ron said. Half way through the appointment Ron turned to Jack.
"You and I are gonna leave the room for this part, son" Ron asked.
"Why?" Jack asked.
"I'll tell you when you're older" Ron said escorting Jack out of the room while a female healer came in.
"Dad, how do you know if a girl fancies you?" Jack asked. Ron smiled at his son and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You fancy someone, Buddy?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, Lizzie" Jack said.
"I teased your mother when we were younger because I liked her" Ron said.
"I don't want to tease Lizzie, she's you know, like Emma and mum, and she's really nice" Jack said.
"You guys are still young, give it time" Ron said.
"Healer Weasely, you and your son can come back in" the female Healer said.
"How is her, womanly area?" Ron whispered.
"Her eggs are in danger from the chemo, she can't go birth control" the healer said.
"No form of birth control?" Ron said.
"Not the Pill, no shot, no patch. When she gets older and she feels she's ready for sex, she can only use a condom" the healer said.
"Oh no, did you explain this to her?" Ron asked.
"I think she's too young" the healer said.
"Good, maybe when she's 15" Ron said.
"Dad, what's wrong with Lizzie?" Jack asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, Buddy, just something that can happen with girls" Ron said.
"Will it happen to Emma?" Jack asked.
"Hopefully not" Ron said. When Ron re-entered the Emma ran to him sobbing.
"Emma, what's wrong, Jellybean?" Ron asked.
"I went to the bathroom, and I started to bleed" Emma cried.
"Where are you bleeding, honey?" Ron asked. Emma pointed downward.
"Oh, oh no, ok, baby girl, ok, let's get your mother down here" Ron said. Lizzie slowly got down from the long white table and hugged Emma.
"Mistress Weasely" Hermione said when she picked up the phone.
"Hello sweetheart" Ron said.
"Hi angel, how's work?" Hermione asked.
"Well Lizzie came for appointment today and she brought Emma and Jack with her" Ron said.
"Oh they're here now?! Can talk to them?" Hermione said.
"Actually I need you to come down here for Emma" Ron said.
"Why, what's wrong, what happened?" Hermione said worried.
"I think she just got her period" Ron whispered.
"Oh, that's all, thank goodness. Ok I'll be right there" Hermione said.
"Mum!" Jack said hugging his mother when she apperated to the hospital.
"How are my men?" Hermione asked kissing her son's head and husband's lips.
"Where is my little girl?" Hermione added. Ron tapped Emma's shoulder and she looked up on saw her mother. The little girl ran to her mother face filled with tears. Hermione held Emma tightly and took her to a room to talk privately.
"Why am I bleeding down there, mum?" Emma asked.
"Don't worry, sweetie, it happens to all girls, it's a sign you're becoming a woman. It's called your menstrual cycle or your period, girls need to get it in order to have babies" Hermione asked. Hermione went through the whole sex talk and puberty speech with her daughter. Hermione didn't anticipate Emma getting starting her menstrual cycle this soon.
"So I'll have this for the rest of my life?" Emma asked.
"Until you reach your late 40s, sweetheart" Hermione said.
"How come boys don't have this?" Emma asked.
"Because men couldn't handle being pregnant, remember, love, women have a much higher pain tolerance than men" Hermione said.
"Mum, how did you know daddy fancied you?" Emma asked.
"Well sweetie with your father it was hard to tell, why do you ask?" Hermione asked.
"I fancy a boy at school" Emma said.
"Is he your friend?" Hermione smiled.
"My best friend" Emma said.
"Daddy and were best friends until he told me he loved me, is this boy called Danny?" Hermione asked.
"How did you know?" Emma asked.
"Your brother's letter" Hermione said.
"He's really nice, Danny is, he knows Irish Sign, and his grandparents are deaf" Emma said. Hermione took Emma's hand.
"Sweetie, the best thing to do is stay friends and see how things go as you grow older" Hermione said. Emma went back in the room with Lizzie and Jack.
"Bye guys, we'll see at Christmas" Hermione said kissing her children's heads.

"Are you ok, Emma? I saw you with your mum" Lizzie said.
"Yeah, it's a girl thing" Emma said.
"Did you get your, that thing that girls get?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah" Emma said. Meanwhile Jack had no idea what was going on. Emma and Jack helped Lizzie out of the carriage when they got back to school.
"Annie, come on" Emma said as the yellow lab jumped out of the carriage.
"Hey Lizzie, what did Healer Weasely say?" Danny asked.
"I'm healthy but I might not get very tall, and having babies might be difficult for me" Lizzie said.
"You want babies?" Leah asked.
"Someday" Lizzie said. As she made her way to the couch she fell and her leg fell off. Jack went to side to help her. Her crying made him a little uncomfortable but he helped her stand up and lead her to the couch.
"Did my dad say anything about your leg?" Jack asked.
"He said it was fine, I'm just klutzy I guess" Lizzie said.
"Emma, your aunt let me copy my notes for you in Triple H" Danny said.
"Thank you, Danny, that was very sweet. How are your Sign Language going?" Emma said.
"They're great! I can do the whole alphabet and my name" Danny said.
"Oh show me please" Emma said.
"Very good Danny! I'm so proud of you!" Emma said.
"I have a finger-spelling test on Friday, will you please help me, Em?" Danny asked.
"Of course, Danny" Emma said sweetly. Annie barked beside her.
"Are you gonna help me too, Ann?" Danny asked bending down to scratch her head. The bell rang for dinner and all the students headed down for the Halloween Feast.

"This is the best thing ever" Emma said partaking of the sweets in front of her.
"Slow down, Em, what's with her?" Danny asked turning to James.
"I don't attempt to understand the mind of my female cousins" James said. After the fest the older kids had a Halloween Dance so some of the younger professors including Harry and Ginny chaperoned the first, second and third years in trick-or-treating in Hogsmeade. Emma was dressed as a tap-dancing penguin and Annie was wearing a tutu and tiara.
"You dance, Emma?" Leah asked who was dressed as a muggle Red Sox player.
"Yeah, I love to dance. I'll show you sometime. What are you suppose to be?" Emma asked.
"My mum loves the muggle world. We visited Boston in The States and we saw a baseball game and it was so wicked. I'm a Red Sox player, that's name of the team" Leah said.
"Oh yeah, my mum and dad watch those games on telly, on the American stations" Emma said.
"Hi Danny, what are you?" Leah asked.
"I'm a cinematographer, I want work in films when I grow up" Danny said.
"What is your brother going to be?" Leah asked.
"What else? A muggle football player" Emma said.
"Hey Danny or Leah, could you please help me?" Lizzie asked. Lizzie was dressed as her pet phoenix.
"Woah, nice costume, Liz" Emma said.
"Thanks, I made it myself" Lizzie said shyly.
"Wow, you should go into fashion designing" Emma said.
"Thanks, I want to" Lizzie said. James was dressed in Harry's old Qudditch uniform.
"Alright first years, you guys ready?" Ginny asked.
"Hey guys, nice costumes" Harry said.
"What hell are you suppose to be, Weasely?" Malfoy asked.
"I'm tap-dancing penguin" Emma said proudly.
"How can you dance, you can't hear" Malfoy said. Emma showed off her dancing skills by tap dancing circles around Malfoy.
"You have to have working ears to have rhythm" Emma said. Danny tapped Emma's shoulder.
"That was incredible, Emma!" Danny said. Emma blushed.
"Thank you, Danny" the little Weasely said holding her pillow case shyly to her chin. The twins, James, Danny Lizzie and Leah all climbed into a carriage.
"I brought my flashlight, Annie, I'm attaching this to your sash" Emma said.
"Alright, first, second and third years listen up, someone send Miss Weasely up here so she can read my read my lips! Alright two professors will be in charge of each of house. Professor Ginny and I will take the Gryffindors" Harry said.
"Uncle Harry, it's so dark" Emma cried.
"Emma, take my arm, you'll be ok" Danny said holding the flashlight in front of his face. Emma wiped her eyes and gratefully held onto Danny's arm.
"He is so crushing on her" Lizzie whispered.
"Oh yeah, totally" Leah whispered back. By the time they were done with their trick-or-treating, Emma had trouble carrying her pillow case full of candy as it was bigger than she was. Danny offered to carry it for her.
"I'd hate to see you on a sugar rush, Em" Danny said. As they went back to school in the carriages Emma fell asleep on Danny's shoulder. He blushed as he never had a pretty girl sleep in shoulder before.
