The morning the family was to leave for the Quidditch World Cup, Hallie was awoken by a knock at her door. She groaned putting her head under her pillow, the sun was not even in the sky. "Hallie time to get up," Cassie said opening the door.
"I do not wish to go. Sports are not a good form of entertainment."
Her godmother laughed, "The Weasleys will be there remember."
The reminder flooded her brain instantly making her sit up, "I will be ready in just a few minutes." She shook her head closing the door and allowing her to get dressed for the day with privacy.
Hallie quickly got out of bed and moved to her wardrobe, she flipped through her clothes, "I have nothing to wear!" she was tossing clothes from the wardrobe. She had more clothes than she could wear in a lifetime mostly everything was some shade of pink or purple and they were either in the form of a dress or mini skirt.
Holly heard the commotion from the hall, she knocked and then entered, "Hallie?"
"I have nothing to wear!" she was in a panic.
Her sister looked at the clothes on the floor, "You have a lot of clothes...most are here on the floor now."
She groaned, "You do not understand! I have no clothes...what if he does not like what I have to wear?"
Holly knelt down and picked up a pair of blue-jean shorts and one of her simple pink tops, "This... is understated but still you and cute. It will not let him think you are trying to attract attention even though I am sure you will. The guys always adore you."
She took the clothes from her, "The guys have always liked you, too."
Her sister shrugged looking down at the book in her hand, "Not like they have always loved you. You were always Miss. Popular. Professors adored you even though you barely passed each year. Every girl wanted to be popular like you and every guy wanted to date you."Hallie wrapped her sister in a hug, "But I would give it all up for you," she let go looking into her eyes, "You are smart and beautiful. I would love to fade into the background, but I cannot. I am me and people adore me for me. They love you for you..."
Holly shook her head, "I am better alone than searching for someone. No guy has ever given me a second look. Guys only spoke to me to get closer to you or Peri."
"You will find a man one day...maybe not today but you will find a man who will love all of you."
She smiled softly taking in a deep breath and then releasing it, "Says the girl who has been in love with the same guy since we were barely a year old."
"I did not love him then. For someone who remembers everything, you need to rethink that memory of yours. I did not fall in love with him at a year old. I do find him very attractive but I did not even know what that was back then."
She left it at that, "If you say so...I will be downstairs. Wear your sneakers we have a bit of a walk."
Once Holly left her room she proceeded to get dressed and then joined the others in the kitchen, "Are we ready?" Richard asked counting his daughters' heads to be sure everyone was accounted for.
Cassie was observing the girls, "Appears so...let us get a move on. We need to get to where we are meeting the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione."
They proceeded to leave and make their way to the gathering in the woods they would meet them. Hallie had chosen a small clutch as her bag to contain all her belongings. She looked around the woods of Ottery St. Catchpole, taking in the woods as she walked furthest behind her family.
