"Hello ladies, how is everyone feeling?" Hermione smiled. The older women were more talkative than the younger ones.

"Is there anyone here who has been in remission for more than 10 years?" Hermione asked. One young woman raised her hand.

"What's your name, love?" Hermione asked.

"Noelle" the woman said.

"How long have you been in remission, honey?" Hermione asked.

"20 Years" the woman said shyly.

"Oh my Goodness, that's awesome, congratulations! You must have been a baby" Hermione said.

"I was three. I just told my boyfriend this week I'm cancer survivor" the woman said.

"How did he take it?" Hermione asked.

"He hugged me and kissed my forehead and asked me why I didn't tell him sooner that he would have understood" Noelle said.

"Then why are you crying, love?" Hermione asked.

"Because now he treats me like I'll break or something. I try to get him to make love with me and he said we should slow it down. I don't have cancer anymore! He doesn't understand that" Noelle cried. Hermione put her arms around the young woman and hugged her.

"It's ok, sweetie. You need to tell him that" Hermione said. Hermione continued to hug the crying young woman; she felt for her. Hermione felt this sometimes too when she was in treatment. She felt Ron treated her differently too.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hello gentlemen. How is everyone today?" Ron asked.

"My girlfriend just told me this week she's a cancer survivor" one young man said.

"Really? How long has she been in remission?" Ron asked.

"20 years" the young man said.

"Wow! What's your name, mate?" Ron asked.

"Luke" the man said.

"How did you take that news, Luke?" Ron asked.

"I was surprised. I mean she never seemed like she was sick. She has some problems expect with her hands and her leg but she's so beautiful and lively that I just looked past it. She works at Cancer Research U.K.; the muggle organization that does Relay for Life. She's a staff partner so she organizes the Relay for Life events. She's wonderful" Luke said.

"Do you think you treat her differently now? Hermione told me she felt like I was treating her differently when she got diagnosed. She thought I treated her like a child" Ron said.
"I don't think I treat her differently. I just think we should take it easy with sex and everything" Luke said.

"Did you have an active sex life before you found out she survived cancer?" Ron asked.

"We haven't had sex yet. We've done other things; I know she wants to but I think we should it slower" Luke said.

"Because she had cancer?" Ron said. Luke put his head in his hands.

"Oh God I feel like such an ass. I guess subconsciously thought that" Luke said.

"Its alright, mate. You just have to talk to her" Ron said.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Well I have to say we men had a very productive first day" Ron said as he got into the hotel bed with his wife.

"So did us girls" Hermione said as she snuggled up to her husband.

"Tomorrow is the group session with all the couples" Ron said.

"I met a young lady who had cancer when she was three! She's the only childhood survivor here, I feel so bad" Hermione said.

"Yeah I met her boyfriend. She just told him this week she's a survivor" Ron said.

"How long have they been dating?" Hermione asked.

"Five weeks" Ron said.

"Wow, I wonder what her made her wait so long to tell him" said Hermione.

"I don't know, he seems like a very nice, mature young man. She was probably afraid of rejection" Ron said.

"Well we'll see what tomorrow brings" Hermione said she closed her eyes.

"Goodnight, My Love" Ron said holding his wife more tightly, so grateful to have her in his life.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jack and Danny heard a crash from the bottom of the girls dorms. Lizzie was laying on her side unable to pick herself up. The boys rushed to her side, her leg was strewn across the bottom of the staircase. Danny helped Lizzie sit up while Jack put Lizzie's leg back on for her.

"Come on, Liz, stand up, you can do it" Jack said. Jack took one of Lizzie's hands and put the other on her back and Lizzie slowly stood up.

"Yay Liz! Good job! Come on let's get you checked out at the hospital wing" Jack smiled. Jack held out his arm for Lizzie to take. At the same time Emma was coming down the stairs.

"Is Lizzie ok, Danny?" Emma asked.

"She fell down the stairs and her leg came off" Danny said. Emma started to cry at this.

"Em, what's wrong, she's ok, she just had a fright that's all" Danny said.

"If I heard her fall, I could have helped her! I hate being deaf!" Emma cried. Danny was surprised at Emma's words. She had never once thought of her deafness as negative. Danny bend down and held Emma.

"I don't want be deaf anymore, I want to be like everyone else" Emma cried. Danny pulled away and faced Emma so she could read his lips.

"But its because you're deaf you're not like everyone else, you're Emma, and I gotta tell yea I like the way Emma is" Danny smiled. Emma gave him a watery smile back.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The boys got into their beds that night and Danny asked Jack how Lizzie was.

"I think she's ok now. She just had a fright" Jack said.

"Its really cool how you know how to help her, mate" Danny said.

"I just watched how my Dad helped my Mum. My Mum had cancer so I'm just comfortable around Lizzie" Jack said.

"That's why she fancies you, mate. You're comfortable around her and you treat her normally. You're ok about talking with her about her disease; I've heard you guys talking at when Lizzie has her treatment nightmares" Danny said. There was a knock at the door and Jack opened the door to find Lizzie in her pajamas holding a stuffed phoenix.

"Lizzie! What are doing up? You should be resting" Jack said. Lizzie smiled.

"That's sweet, Jack but, I'm fine really" Lizzie said.
"Are you sure you're alright, here come sit on my bed" Jack said. Lizzie smiled and took the invitation. Jack let Lizzie sleep under his blankets while he slept on top of the covers; he wanted to show Lizzie he was a gentlemen.

"Goodnight, Jack, thank you" Lizzie whispered.

"Goodnight, lo-Lizzie" Jack said.
