“You do look ill Sweetie” she commented “Have you eaten anything dodgy? Are you just stressed? Tell me what’s wrong, maybe I can help it’s what big sisters are for isn’t it” Carys turned and buried her face in the crook of Sophie’s neck and began to cry softly.

“Everything is screwed” she announced “I feel sick, I’m getting fat, Remus is god knows where, the flowers are the wrong colour and did I mention I’m fat?” Sophie wrapped her arms around Carys and raised an eyebrow, there was no way her sister was fat, she shook her head, in her mind her sister was acting very melodramatic something which just wasn’t like her.

“Well Remus should be back tomorrow shouldn’t he?” she asked feeling her sister nod “Exactly, you’ll probably feel much better then” she comforted in what she hoped was a soothing voice.

“Probably” she said she shook her head looking confused “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, it’s not like he hasn’t been away before but I’m crying like an idiot. Remus would probably roll his eyes at me. I can normally handle stress well I was head girl for god sake and I’m a healer in training it’s just…” she stopped looking helpless. Sophie shrugged

“You need to pull yourself together, I know you don’t feel well but you need to get this dress fitted, it looks fantastic on you but we want it to look even better than the last time ok, so dry your eyes and no more tears. Tears are not the Potter way” Carys nodded

“I know” she said “It’s probably because I feel ill, Potters don’t react well to illness after all  just look at James and Daddy when they get ill, they cry like babies every time and Harry will no doubt be just as bad” Sophie nodded with a laugh

“He is a Potter male so it’s likely” she conceded standing up and pulling her sister up as well “Let’s get these dresses on” she said, Carys nodded wiping her eyes

“Ok” she said “Lets hope it won’t take too long”

“I think you jinked us Rys” Sophie stated two hours later when they finally left the shop, Carys looked at Sophie in surprise

“Me” she stated “how did I jinx us?” Sophie pointed her index finger at the younger girl
