Jesse woke up the next morning and headed to the bathroom. She locked the door and got herself undressed after she turned the shower on. It was 6am and she didn't sleep much that night after leaving George and Fred in the living room. She glanced at herself in the mirror and sighed. She hated how she looked. George always called her burns 'battle scars' which did make her feel better about them however she hated it. She could hide the ones on her stomach and arm but not the one on her face.

Jesse had showered and gotten herself ready in the bathroom. She pulled on a beige turtle neck, long sleeved of course and paired it with some black flared jeans. She pulled on some black boots before brushing her hair out and charming it into curls. She loved the fact she could now use magic whenever she wanted.

Molly called down everyone for breakfast, Jesse walked out of the bathroom and dropped off her things in her bedroom before heading downstairs to get some breakfast "Awh Jesse aren't you going to be a little warm in that?" Molly asked her, to which Jesse shook her head "I'll be fine, thank you for asking though" she sat down at the table and ate one of her 4 pancakes.

She watched as everyone else ate their food, it made her feel sick. She stood up and ran to the bathroom before throwing up. All she could think about was how much of her muscle she lost over the past week, how you couldn't really see the tone to her body due to the burn scars she had. She felt someone hold her hair back as she threw up. She wiped her mouth on some toilet room and sat back, looking at the familiar face "uncle Lupin.. can I talk to you?" She said in a quiet voice.

Without hesitation, lupin helped the girl up and walked with her to the living room, sitting down on the sofas with her "what's up pumpkin" Jesse couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and she hugged lupin tightly, crying into his chest "I.. I just want everything to go back to normal" Lupin rubbed Jesse's back "the things that happen to us.. make us stronger pumpkin" he spoke in a soft voice.

Jesse sniffled and clung to Lupin's shirt tightly "e..every time I look at my food I feel sick.. I feel like.. I'm a failure... that it's my fault my parents are having a divorce.. I can't keep my food down from the thoughts.. They're taking over" she mumbled into Lupin's chest. He let out a sigh "sometimes~ we need to talk things out, that's probably why you feel so horrible~ because you aren't talking about it"

"But.. it's not my divorce" she muttered "that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have your own feelings and thoughts on it.. Jesse~" he lifted up Jesse's chin and gave her a smile "you know I'm always here if you need to have a rant or talk things out" Jesse nodded and wiped her eyes "thank you uncle Lupin.." Lupin's nodded "now wanna go back and try and eat some more?" Jesse nodded and stood up "yeah.."

She had managed to eat the other three pancakes she was given, George giving her a worried look. She knew he'd want an explanation and she owed him one. She stood up once she finished eating and thanked Molly for the food before walking upstairs. George followed her up the stairs and grabbed her hand "Jesse.. are you okay?" She turned around and nodded "I'm okay Georgie.. I just need to talk things out with Remus~" she hugged him tightly and closed her eyes "when we go back to school.. promise you'll be there for me?" George chuckled and smiled "of course I will"
