Emma, Lizzie, and Leah were picking outfits for the first Hogsmeade trip. Emma picked out a pink hooded sweater for Lizzie to where.
"You should where this, Liz. I know it will impress a certain brother of mine" said Emma. Lizzie tried on the sweater. It hugged her developing figure and flattered her very nicely.
"See, it looks so pretty on you and your hair has grown back really lovely" Leah said.
"I don't look fat?" Lizzie asked.
"No, not at all. Why would you think that?" Emma asked.
"Well the chemo and prednisone made me gain some weight" Lizzie said.
"You're not all, honey, and Jack really fancies you anyway. He obviously sees past all the medical issues" Emma said.
"He must have gotten it from your dad" Lizzie said.
"It wouldn't surprise me; Daddy is so good to Mum. He still brings her her favorite candy every Friday when comes home from work and gives a bubble bath every Saturday night" said Emma.
"Let's pick an outfit for you now, Emma" Leah said.
"Nothing too revealing" said Emma. Lizzie found a light purple quarter length, v-neck shirt with a hood.
"This is so cute, Emma! It brings out your pretty eyes" Leah said. Emma pulled the shirt over her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't really have breasts or curves yet like Lizzie and she thought she was too skinny.
"What's wrong, Emma?" Lizzie asked.
"My body isn't anything like yours, Liz. I'm too skinny" Emma said.
"No you're not, Em. My mum said some girls are just late bloomers. Is your mum thin?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah" Emma said.
"You probably get it from her. Danny likes you, I know he does and he obviously sees you and not just you're body" Lizzie said.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Good morning, ladies" Danny said as the girls came down for breakfast in their PJs.
"Excited for Hogsmeade today?" asked Jack.
"Yeah! We can go see Uncle George!" Emma said.
"You're not wearing your wig, Liz" Jack said.
"I'm going to put it on later" said Lizzie.
"Don't! Your hair looks pretty" Jack said. Lizzie blushed and smiled.
"Thank you, Jack" said Lizzie. Jack reached to touch Lizzie's hair.
"It's so soft and its coming back nicely" said Jack. Emma smiled she read the lips of her best friend and her brother. She was so proud of her brother how he models their dad. After breakfast the girls went to change into their outfits.
"Here Emma, you can use my lip gloss" Leah said.
"My mum said no make-up until fourth year" said Emma.
"Your mum isn't here though" Leah said. Lizzie pulled on the top that Emma and Leah picked out for her and turned to her pet phoenix.
"What do you think, Bella?" Lizzie asked. The beautiful phoenix squeaked her approval.
Danny, Jack, and James heard the girls descending the stairs and both Danny and Jack's jaws dropped when they saw Emma and Lizzie.
"Hi boys, ready to go?" Emma asked. James had shut Danny and Jack's mouths for them.
"Permission slips 3rd years come on!" Harry shouted.
"Let's go visit Uncle George!" Emma said once they got to the village. The kids entered their uncle's shop.
"Be right with you, hey look who it is!" George said rushing to his niece and nephews.
'Hello Little Em' George Signed to Emma before giving her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
"Hey Mates" George turned to Jack and James and shook their hands.
"Who are your friends?" George asked.
"This is Lizzie Donavan" Jack said enthusiastically.
"And this is Leah Longbottom and Danny Flaherty" Emma said.
"Oh so this is the
Danny we've heard so much about" George said making both Emma and
Danny blush.
"Just don't hurt my niece, young man, our
family has eyes everywhere" George smiled.
Emma, Jack, and James hugged their uncle goodbye and headed off to Honeyduke's.
"Here Lizzie this is for you. All the money goes to research for teenaged and young adult cancer survivors" said Jack as he handed her a large purple lollipop in the shape of an awareness ribbon. Lizzie blushed and smiled at Jack.
"Thank you, Jack" Lizzie said.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thunder boomed through Hogwarts making Lizzie cry. She crept downstairs with her stuffed puppy, a book, and her muggle iPod and tried to drown out the noise.
"Lizzie?" a gentle male voice called. Lizzie turned her tear-stained face to see Jack.
"Hold on I'll get you your quieting aids" Jack said. Jack rushed up to the girls staircase.
"I'm getting Lizzie Donavan's quieting aids and hairbrush" Jack said. The stairs let him pass. Jack took Lizzie's headphones out quickly and replaced them with her quieting aids.
"Thank you, Jack, why do you have my brush?" Lizzie asked.
"My Dad brushes my Mum's hair to relax her, can I brush yours?" Jack asked. Lizzie nodded and sat between his legs as he slowly and gently brushed her hair.
"Your hair is so soft. You don't put any products in it like some of the older witches around here" Jack said. Lizzie put her head in Jack's chest and closed her eyes as he continued to brush her hair.
"Do you feel better, Liz?" Jack asked.
"Yes, this feels really nice" Lizzie said.
"What is your dog's name?" Jack asked.
"Noopy. I couldn't say Snoopy when I was a baby" Lizzie said.
"Your Dad does this for your Mum?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah. He started doing this once her hair grew back and when it was long enough he would braid it to. I'll do for you too when your hair gets longer" said Jack.
"You can braid hair?" Lizzie smiled.
"Yeah, I use to help Emma braid her hair if our Mum was too tired" Jack said.
"Does your Mum take energy potions?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah, she started taking them when we were little" Jack said.
"I don't think I'll have to take them until I'm older" said Lizzie.
"Well you have the most energy out of all of us" Jack smiled as he began stroking Lizzie's hair. Lizzie was starting to fall into a deeper sleep and Jack rapped a blanket around his friend and held her as the storm passed.
