As I walk with Lee to Diagon Alley my stomach does twists and turns the whole way. He said we are meeting up with his friends and I know exactly who. Fred and George Weasley. I tried to make an excuse to not come like always but this time he forced me to. Sometimes I hate Lee. As we get near Olivander's I see the two red heads. They have changed a lot since the last time. Different hair, shorter, and they seem more umm happier. They turn their heads to our approcing footsteps. They both smile and bumb elbows with eachother. 

"Lee!" They both say. "Have you brought your girlfriend??" George asks guesturing to me. I look at Lee and he looks at me. "Yeah I did." "Finally, got her to agree to meet with us I see." Fred jokes. "Hio." I say in Dutch. They look at me weirdly except Lee. So I continue. "Ja, hij heeft me eindelijk laten komen" (Yes he finally made me come) I say in Dutch. They look at me with a blank expression. I sigh and speak English. "Yes, he finally made me come." Lee starts laughing. "Why did I have a feeling you were going to do that." Lee says to me while laughing. I shrug. "Because I'm predicable." Lee shakes his head. "Not always." "True." I say and shrug again.

I start walking away. "Where are you going??" Lee asks. Fred and George both say. "Ooooo! Lee your girlfriend is running away!" I turn towards them. "Wees stil!" (Be quiet) I call to them in Dutch. I say to Lee. "Meeting up with Angle and Devan. Bye!" I walk off again. "Bye!" Lee calls back. "Bye Edda!!" The twins call out. I roll my eyes and keep walking until I see Angle and Devan. "Hio!" I call out. They smile at me and rush over. "Girl you look amazing in that beage sweater!" Devan says with his bit of sass. Angle nods. "I agree with Dev it suits you." She says while chewing her gum. I laugh. "Are we going shopping or what??" Devan smiles and loops his arms in mine and Angle's. "Yes we are girl!" Devan says while walking with us. We walk for a while but I stop because I feel soemthing move in my bag. "You ok?" Angle asks as I look into my bag. I then see Wiggles my brown mouse with a white blob in the center of his back. "Yep! Some came along tho." I say as I hold up Wiggles. 

"Aww! Did Wiggles miss us??" Devan says while stroking him as we walk. Wiggles gets settled on my shoulder after a while. We keep walking but the wind picks up some I quickly grab him. "I gotch you. Don't worry." I whisper to Wiggles as I put him back in my bag. I wrap my arms tighter around me because I forgot a jacket. We make it to Madam Malkin's just as the wind gets worse. She smiles at us as we enter but goees right back to making the robe fit to someone. I go straight to the Hufflepuff gloves and beenies. I find one with a pom-pom that is black and yellow. The beenie itself is yellow but towards the bottom it has some black stripes with the Hufflepuff chrest on it. "Devan! Angle! What do you think of this beenie??" I ask as I put it on. They roll their eyes and laugh. "What??" I ask. "Sorry. But Edda you get a new beenie or hat ever year!" Angle explains while Devan gets some Hufflepuff stuff. Angle goes to the Slytherin scarfs. AFter we spend another hour there we get a Hufflepuff beenie for me, a Hufflepuff sweater for Devan, and some dark green leggings for Angle. We pay and go outside after thanking her.

I see Lee, Fred, and George up ahead as we walk out of the store. "Guys I have to go." I say to them. They nod and hug me. "Have fun!" They say as they leave. I put on my new beenie as I walk to Lee and the twins. "Lee, what do you think??" I say as I come closer. They turn and Lee smiles and chuckles. "Another to add to the collection I see." "Yep!" I say. "How was shopping??" The twins ask. "Good. Lee, I think I might go home now." I say. "Why??" All 3 of them say. "Because it's family movie night." I say as I put my beenie back in the bag. "Oh, well, have fun then!" Lee says. "Bye Edda!" The twins say in their humor voice. "Wees stil!" (Be quiet) I say to them in Dutch. I walk back to the Brick Wall. I see my mom waiting there. "Ready to go??" She asks after she kisses my forehead. I smile. "Yep. Ready Wiggles??" I ask and look down in my bag to find him fast alseep. I show mom and we both laugh as we walk out together. We see dad standing there waiting for us. We all hold hands and Apperate out of there. I love Apperating because I get to be free of life for a second or two. We land back at home. "So what did you get??" Dad asks as we head to the kitchen to perpare popcorn and butterbeer. "I got another beenie!" I say and show them. They both laugh and my dad ruffles my hair. "Of course you did." He says. "Is that all??" Mom asks. "Yeah...I was wondering if before school starts you and I could just got shopping? The two of us." I say while putting Wiggles in his cage in the living room and putting my bag by the door and my beenie on a hook.

Mom smiles at me. "I would love too." "Great! We'll have to work out a day then." I say as I sit on the ground of the kitchen. "Honey...can we drop the act now??" Dad asks cautiously. "Fine..." I grumble and get up. "You know what day it is." Mom says warmly. I nod and sit on the couch. "It's 'movie night'. I know I know." "Right now what do we do on 'movie night'?" Mom asks while rubbing my back. "We talk about Eleanor..." I whisper and pick at my skin on my palm. Dad takes my hands. "We do this because we love you. You know that, right?" He asks. I nod and a lump apperes in my throat. "Can you tell us what happened??" Mom asks softly. We do this every year. We call it 'movie night' because as a young child you want to make it a fun night. This night was the night Eleanor died. I retell it every year and afterwards we drink butterbeer, Eleanor's favorite drink, and eat popcorn, her favorite food. I retell it because they say it helps me remember it wasn't my fault, that I had nothing to do with it. I do it because that's one of the strongest memories I have of her. That's one I want to forget and not want to forget so retelling helps keep it alive. As we drink our butterbeer and eat our popcorn we talk together. They send me upstairs early tonight but they know I'm tired. I lay in bed for a while in my gray sweatpants and long sleeved red long crop-top. I fall asleep right away just to escape the reality of going another year without my sister.
