For the last month or so Sammy has been at home dealing with each of her kids gaining the sickness that had been going around. With each passing day, they got sicker and sicker, now Sammy can't handle doing it alone any more. Sure she has her father, but he's not magical so he doesn't understand. Sammy would go to the father of the children, but each of the fathers has their own problems to deal with. So Sammy sent an Owl out to Sophia and Hitame each to meet her at the Hogsmeade. She needed to talk to someone and talking to her bestfriend was the best thing for her at the moment.

Sammy walked into the Hogsmeade wearing her white dress with pink and purple flowers on it with a white matching purse and some white and black flip-flops. In her purse was her wand some make up, money and some pictures of her kids. Sammy found a table in the back corner then waited for her friends. After a few seconds of sitting down, a waiter came to her and asked her for her order. "Four Butterbeers please. I'm waiting for some friends." Sammy said to the waiter then watched him walk away. Sammy hoped that they wouldn't be to long. The longer she sat there the closer she got to breaking down crying.

The fresh spring like breeze hit the faces of twelve year old Naomi and thirteen year old Hitame as they walked through Hogsmeade, headed for the Three Broomsticks. Hitame had received an owl from Samantha, whom she hasn't seen at all even around school for about a month. She couldn't help but worry that something was wrong because she was just hearing from her now after about a month. Naomi didn't really care about Samantha, only because she didn't know her or at least she thought she didn't know her. Hitame couldn't really blame her because everytime she met up with Samantha, Naomi wasn usually with her. Which made her wonder why she chose to come with her today.

The reason was simple really, but it was a reason Hitame didn't know that existed. Naomi had been keeping an eye on Hitame like Sophia had asked. Keeping an eye on her to make sure she wasn't doing anything that could warm her a lot. Which in that short amount of time since they spent the day with Sophia, Hitame hadn't done much of anything. She'd barely eaten but it was nothing Naomi was truly worried about. She seemed normal enough, nothing out of the ordinary about her for a while now. But something gave Naomi a feeling that Hitame had been careful not to do anything on purpose, to somehow throw Naomi off her track.

The two Gryffindor girls stepped into the place and Hitame looked around. Naomi looked around a bit as well though she didn't know who she was looking for. Hitame spotted Samantha and smiled as she pulled on Naomi's arm gently to walk up to her with her. "Hello Sammy." the older of the sisters said softly. Her words were followed by a small cough that she tried to keep down.

It was starting to feel like Spring everyday but to Sophia it was just another day that was filled with sadness and disappointment. Yes, Sophia Annabelle Granger wasn't herself she haven't been since her sister died and Andrian disappeared. She was depress and to be honest wasn't doing good at all, she needed someone who understood her and she didn't have it. As her best friend Sammy's owl flew through the window Sophia looked a mixture of confused but happy. She was glad to hear from Sammy after a long hard month. As she read her letter she gasped and grabbed her stuff making sure she looked ok before apperating to Hogsmeade.

As she appeared with a pop she walked through the crowded street of Hogsmeade heading towards the three broomsticks. She didn't care of how she looked, she was more worried about her best friend Samantha who been there for her countless of times. Sophia was wearing a black short sleeve dress with a black hat and a black mini jacket over it. Her eyes were dull and almost a black color instead of her normal bright chocolate brown eyes. As she entered the pub she looked around and seen Smantha and Hitame she walked towards them giving them a soft warm smile.

Her smile quickly slid off her face as she seen that her best friend was close to breaking into tears. "Sammy what's wrong?"Sophia asked her softly as her eyes turned gold with worry in them. Sophia and Samantha been through alot together and they told each other everything. No one knew Sophia like Samantha and Sophia knew Samantha like a open book for they were best friends. Sophia hoped it wasn't anything bad for she didn't need anymore pain but she had a feeling it was.

Sammy heard the door jingle and looked up to see who it was. As Hitame and her sister walked towards them she got up and smiled at them. "Hey Hitame. It's nice to see you. And this must be your sister. I think we meet only once, but I will treat this as a first meet, since the last time we meet wasn't a very nice one. So Hello Naomi, it's nice to meet you." Sammy said giving her a hug then sitting back down. "Please sit down I bought us all some drinks. Hopefully Sophia will be here soon. Once we are all sat down and comfortable I will explain the reason for the meeting." Sammy said watching as her friends smiled at her.

Then the door jingled again. Sammy looked around Hitame and Naomi to see Sophia walk through the door. Sammy almost burst into tears seeing her friend dressing in so much black and having black eyes. It wasn't like Sophia to be so dark. Something was most certainly wrong. But what could it be. Sammy stood up then gave Sophia a hug. "Hey Sophia, it's nice to see you." Sammy said then sat back down. She waited till everyone was sat down, then started to try to explain the meaning of the meeting without bursting out crying. "Well....everyone. The reason that I have asked you all here today is because I am going thru a very trying time and I need my friends by my side. You all have heard about the odd sickness that has been spread lately, right? Well my kids have caught the sickness and I have had to be by them everyday. First it started out with just Jazmine catching it, but now they all have it. It has made my heart heavy to watch my kids be in pain and so sick and not be able to do anything about it. And that is why I need you guys. If I don't have some kind of help, at least in a moral, emotional way I think I might do something bad." Sammy said to them taking a deep breath and feeling a single tear drop leave her right eye. Her eyes where now a deep blue color, meaning her was very sad.

Hitame smiled and hugged Samantha back before she sat down and gestured for Naomi to do the same. "Oh, I don't think you two have been formally introduced. Sammy this is my younger sister Naomi." she said. "And Naomi this is Samantha Burns but people mostly call her Sammy." she said in a soft voice that didn't really sound like herself. "Hello. Nice to meet you Samantha." Naomi said sheepishly. When Naomi usually met new people her reaction was a much more frightened one than this one. Hitame supposed it was just the fact that Hitame already knew Samantha that caused Naomi to be so calm.

The two girls turned their heads when they heard the bell above the door jingle. Hitame's smile dropped immediately as she saw how Sophia was dressed. She blinked a couple of times thinking she was hallucinating or something, but she wasn't. Sophia was really wearing all that black and it didn't really seem to be like her. The thirteen year old glanced at her sister then she glanced down at herself. Naomi was wearing the dress Sophia for her and Hitame was wearing the jeans and shirt she'd bought for her. She held back a cough and she stared at Sophia's practically black eyes and she became really worried. It was just like before when they were at the Leaky Cauldron. She decided not to ask Sophia anything and she looked down immedately.

As she heard Samantha say something about a sickness going around, Hitame and Naomi looked at her puzzled. "What sickness?" Hitame asked, just before Naomi could. Naomi began to think about Hitame's symptoms and if there was a sickness going around then maybe those symptoms were from that, not because she was cutting herself or doing drugs or anything else like that. She hid a small smile and looked down while Hitame was concentrated on what Samantha was saying. "I'm sorry about your kids being sick Sammy. I think all you can really do for them is be beside them and hoping for the best." she said softly.

Sophia hugged Samantha back glad to see her best friend once again. "I know Sammy, it been to long."said Sophia softly. As she turned to Hitame she gave them a soft warm smile. "Hello Hit and Nao nice to see you two again."said Sophia softly. As she seen them have worry faces Sophia shifted in her chair uncomfortably but she kept to herself. They didn't need to know that she haven't ate anything in the pass couple of weeks due to depression. Besides, it wasn't that big of a big deal it wasn't like she was cutting herself or really harming her that much. But she knew she looked paler then she usually does and probably weaker then normal and her eyes were black.

She knew Smantha was going to ask what was up with her but she wasn't so sure about Hitame nor Naomi but she could tell that they were worried. Sophia was a very bright and bubbly person who usually wore bright colors showing off her bubbly personality and her eyes were always a bright chocolate brown filled with happiness but this time they were filled with sadness and depression. As she listened to Samatha's story she gasped. "Oh my goodess Sammy I'm so sorry!"said Sophia getting up and hugging her best friend like she always did when things were wrong. Sophia knew Samantha's kids very well, heck even one was named after her so she was really worried now.


Sophia looked at Samatha confused. "What sickness Sammy?"Sophia asked her softly as her eyes turned gold once again. Sophia worked at St.Mungo's and haven't heard of it but then again Khaat probably wanted to keep it quiet for now. She didn't know, she'll have to ask Khaat when she sees her but Sophia looked at Hitame probably thinking she had this sickness as well as the other things she was doing. Sophia didn't know, but there was one way to find out. Sophia was going to find out waht this sickness was and stop it before it gets out of hand.

Sammy finally looked up to see the confused and worried looks on Sophia and Hitame's faces. Of course the black eyes on Sophia worried Sammy, but she would get to that soon. Sammy hugged Sophia back like she always does when Sophia gives her a hug when she was feeling bad. Sammy then sat back in her chair and looked back at them. "You mean you guys don't know about the sickness that has been going around. It was in the paper this morning. Of course dealing with the kids being sick was making me worry about them. They are my children of course. But when I read the paper this morning and found out that it's not just my kids that have it, that's when I broke down and started crying. I realized that if my kids have what ever it is that is going around and they aren't helping they other people. What can I do for my kids other than watch then get worse and worse. I just can't do this alone anymore. Please you have to help me." Sammy asked them, knowing that Sophia would do just about anything for her and Sammy would do just about anything for Sophia. But she wasn't sure about Hitame and Naomi.

As far as Hitame, or Naomi, knew there was no sickness. Of course the two girls usually stayed away from any commotion about any and probably everything having to do with the news. They didn't find it nessesary for them to know most of theses things, as they probably wouldn't understand most of what was going on. Well maybe Hitame would, but she really just wasn't interested in those things. Naomi was just too oblivious to truly understand whatever went on. So there really was no point in them reading the paper or anything.

"No, not really Sammy. I didn't know that any new sickness even existed." Hitame said honestly, but a bit sheepishly. It was kind of weird for her not to know a single thing about what way going on. She usually knew something, even if she didn't read the paper. There was always something obvious that gave her clues about something that was going on. But maybe with all the trouble she's been having, Hitame might have just missed something. After all, between her and Naomi being sick a different amounts of time, she rarely even got out of the Gryffindor Tower now a days.

Hitame looked down at the butterbeer in front of her for a moment before looking at Samantha. "I don't know how I'll be able to help much, but I'll do any and everything I can to help you, Sammy." Hitame said softly, smiling at Samantha. "As will I." Naomi said. Even though she didn't know Samantha, Naomi was willing to help anyone that was a friend of her sister's.

"You know I'll help you in any way that I can Sammy, your my best friend."said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile. "We been through alot together Sammy, we can make it through this for we can make it through anything!"said Sophia comforting her best friend. "I know your worried about me Sammy, but don't worry about me be more worried about your kids."said Sophia softly. Besides, she didn't want her best friend worrying about her when she already had a plateful of her own. Some would say that Sophia had her own plateful as well, having four kids and working a full time job alone wasn't easy.

"I say we take them to St. Mungo's right away and have them look at, I'll stop by there myself and look at them as well."said Sophia softly. Sophia knew that they wouldn't want anyone looking at them other then her or maybe Khaat for they didn't like going to St. Mungo's. Sophia was like a god mother to them, she took care of them when ever Sammy was at work and Ne'Os or her father couldn't. They were both like god mother to their kids and their kids gotten along very well with each other. So, Sophia was worried about them for she loved them like they were her own kids.

Sammy thought that it was very nice of both Hitame and Naomi to be so helpful to her. But it was more surprising that Naomi was being helpful. "Thank you both. I guess what will be helpful is getting letters from you everyday. Telling me about your day, and just asking me how I am. Until the kids are better, I just need to have an outside connection to the world. Being in the house with the kids day after day after day is driving me crazy. No matter how much I love them." Sammy said to them making sure to look at them both when she said it. She wasn't trying to be mean or anything she just wanted to make sure that they understood what she was talking about, that and she had been around her kids for so long now that it was hard not to treat everyone like they where a kid.

Then Sophia said that she would help. Again, Sammy, knew that Sophia would help her, it would have been more surprising if she didn't offer to help. "Thanks Sophia. I knew that I can always count on you. Your my bestfriend." Sammy said smiling up at Sophia. "Really, you'll look at them? That would be so helpful. I haven't wanted to take them to the hospital yet. They aren't sick enough for emergency help, but they haven't been getting any better either. I thought that it was a cold at first, but colds don't last this long. I don't think anyways." Sammy said to Sophia giving her a hug again. Sammy then decided that it was time to focus on Sophia's problems, now that her's where going to be helped with. Sammy then sat back and crossed her arms and looked at Sophia with a stern yet worried look. "Ok, out with it. What's wrong? Why are you dressed like a gothic queen and have painful, worried, black eyes?" Sammy asked her not moving a muscle.
