Sue was sleeping peacefully in her bed, snuggled in the covers warm and cosy, dimly aware of the thunder and lightening outside in her present state, when she heard a yell that shocked her so much she fell fom her bed in a tangle of sheets.

Fighting her way from the sheets she stood and flew through the new door to her left which made her's and Draco's room ajoining.

Hermione was already in the room having gone through her door and was sat on Draco's bed, trying to coax him from under the sheets.

"What's wrong?" Sue asked, moving towards Hermione.

"Draco's scared of the thunder and lightening" She said quietly and Sue could practically smell the sympathy she had for the young boy.

"Draco...?" She called, hoping to try and make him forget about the loud noise and bright lights. All the responce she got was a shuffling sound.

A thunder clap echoed through the room and she head him cry out again, refusing to come out.

Sue sat on the bed next to Hermione and felt around in the dim light until she found the small lump that had to be Draco, deciding that getting him out wasn't the best idea she flung the covers up and slipped into the bed, motioning for Hermione to do the same.

Once they were both in the bed Sue and Hermione felt around for him again, he seemed to have moved.

Hermione found him.

"Draco there is no reason to be scared, the thunder and lightening can't hurt you" She said quietly. He edged closer to them both.

"That's right. We can stay with you if you want though..." Sue agreed lightly, happy that Hermione cared for young Draco. She wasn't exactly fond of him when he was their age.

They heard shuffling and Sue jumped slightly when she felt him move in between them, his head appeared from the covers to look up at them with big round glossy eyes.

"Really? Mummy and Daddy don't. Daddy just puts up silencing spells on their room." He admitted in a small voice.

"Well we're not them." Hermione said firmly, Sue could tell she was angry.

"No we are not, now come up here and we can all get some sleep. You're safe with us." Sue finished, pulling him up to them, once they were all settled in Draco fell asleep instantly and Hermione fished out her wand and did a silencing spell.


With a yawn Sue sat up in bed and it took her a moment to realise where she was. But when she did she immediately turned to see Hermione and Draco still asleep.

She had to stop herself from going 'awwww' really loud at the sight.

Draco's head was now in the crook of Hermione's neck and Hermione's arm was draped over his waist protectively and both had small smiles on their face's. So sweet.

Slowly and quietly Sue made it out of the bed and into her own bathroom that led on from her room, had a shower, brushed her teeth and then got dressed into her own clothes (dark blue string top and black quartre length trousers with over the knee black and blue striped socks which were her favourite).

When she came back to wake up the pair she was slightly shocked to see Draco was already awake. He didn't seem to notice her as his eyes were trained on Hermione's face. His large silvery orbs were scanning over her features and one of his hands was lightly touching a lock of her curly hair with his small fingers.

Sue smiled at him, knowing that when he was older again he'd be terribly embarrased about the whole thing and deny it even when he was on his death bed.

After a moment he did notice she was there and flushed bright red, sitting up he flew from the bed and into the bathroom.

"Morning" She heard him mumble as he went, her smile deepened as she called back 'hello' and moved to wake Hermione up.

"Hermione..." She called softly, nudging her, she groaned in response and opened one eye.

"You'll be late for class" Sue told her. It was obviously a lie because it was saturday but it worked, she sped from the bed and into her own room, only to come back a minute later with an accusing look on her face, hands on her hips, Sue smiled innocently and skipped into her own room before the brunette could get her back. She checked the clock to see it was 10AM and was quite proud that her internal clock had let her sleep a few more hours.

Checking the coast was clear of the annoyed Gryffindor Sue went back into Draco's room and looked in his closet.

No suprise that everything was black (and shrunk to his new size), Sue raised an eyebrow good thing there is a Hogsmeade trip on sunday, he needs a new wardrobe...seriously bad.

She decided to let him choose his own clothes and was happy to hear him brushing his teeth on the other side of the door. He was quite well behaved.

She knew he couldn't be like that all the time but while he was she was going to enjoy it.

After a few minutes Draco came out of the bathroom still looking a little flushed, Sue took pity on him and didn't say anything about what had happened.

"Get dressed and we'll go and have some breakfast downstairs" She told him, leaving him with a wink and a secret smile that made him go pink again.

With a chuckled Sue skipped down the stairs shouting a quick

"I'm going to go help Blaise and Harry, back in a little while!" to Hermione who replied with a short "Okay"

Sue knew the two boys would need help, and would have felt bad about leaving them on their own to fight with the little girl.

It only took her a few minutes to reach their portrait and the portrait of Blaise winked at her then bowed low as he made the portrait swing open, she did a small curtsey before entering, smiling brightly.

"Parvati let us in!!" She heard Blaise yell. With a roll of her eyes she looked round to see Harry and Blaise outside Parvati's door, trying hopelessly to get through the door.

"No! I want the nice girl Sue to do my hair! It looks like a bush and I'm not letting people see me like this!"

"I'm not getting Sue round here every single time you want your hair fixed young lady" Blaise said firmly, Sue smiled. They still hadn't noticed her there.

"Boys are such drama queens aren't they Parvati" Sue called, both boys jumped about a foot in the air and Harry screamed quite girlishly...though he later denied it ,as it was obviously creaking wood and not him (o-kay).

"Sue! Yes they are being mean! Please do my hair!" She heard the young girl cry through the door.

Sue hopped up the stairs, pressed a chaste kiss to Blaise's cheek and spoke again

"I can't do it if I can't get in" She reasoned and the door flew open, Harry choked in an attempt not to laugh and Blaise only remained quiet because Sue had taken his hand and almost crushed it in warning

"Parvati I'm sorry, this is my fault, I didn't tell you to take the braids out before you went to bed, it's made your hair frizz up, but I know how to fix it right away, boys out!" Sue said calmly as she looked down at the upset girl...

Who actually did look like bush had come to life on her poor little head.

Closing the door behind her quickly and putting a silencing spell up because she just knew Blaise and Harry would start laughing she turned back to the small girl and motioned for her to sit on the bed.

Parvati did as told, upset about her hair and those mean boys laughing at her.

"I will tell the boys off for you by the way, they were quite mean. Did they really expect you to go out in public with bad hair? I never would" Sue commented as she got out her wand, trying to connect and make her feel better.

She heard Parvati snuffle quietly and felt more cross with the boys.

As quickly as she could Parvati's hair went back to it's normal sleek, long and non-bush like state.

"There all done...Shall we go down to breakfast?" Sue asked kindly, Parvati nodded and Sue passed her a tissue as they stood and took her free hand, hoping the boys had already gone to breakfast...which they had, she soon found upon entering the Great Hall, Parvati now in her arms, poor thing was still upset.

Glaring in their direction she sat next to Hermione and Draco, who were opposite Blaise and Harry, gently settling Parvati down next to her.

"Pancakes?" She asked the young girl.

"Mum and dad don't let me eating things like that for breakfast, I'm supposed to have cereal or something" She answered honestly. Sue was shocked by this truth, what six year old would deny herself sugary things because her parents said no.

"Well you've been upset this morning and it's a sorry for me not remembering about your braids." Sue replied, putting a few pancakes on her plate.

"Are you okay Parvati?" Draco asked kindly, Hermione shot him a smile for being kind and poured a little more syrup onto his own pancakes.

"Yes Draco. But the boys were being mean and laughed at my hair" The young girl answered politely, they had bonded yesterday while playing.

Draco glared at the boys heavily while chewing, though Sue just smiled, he looked sweet like that. Caring.

"Parvati, we're both very sorry for laughing at you earlier. And we're going to make it up to you. Within reason...what do you want us to do" Blaise told the little girl and Sue couldn't help but forgive him instantly, he looked properly ashamed at seeing their charge's eyes looking a little pink and her face looking upset.

Harry was nodding and smiling kindly aswell.

Pavarti seemed to ponder this and then a quite Slytherin smile appeared on her face.

"I'll forgive you if you both let Sue turn your hair pink for the whole day until we go to sleep." She replied with a confirming nod.

Sue grinned widely.

"Excellent punishment, don't you think so Hermione?" She turned to her new friend who was smirking

"Very good." She replied, almost innocently.

"I think it's good, because they laughed at her hair so we should laugh at theirs" Draco said, a quite wise look on his face, but Sue could see the glint in his eyes, oh he was going to enjoy today, she knew it.

Sue slowly turned back to the two boys, enjoying the moment. She smiled at seeing them both looking fearfully at her with wide eyes.

She flicked her wrist in their direction and slowly but surely from root to tip their hair turned bright pink.

Wolf whistled and bursts of laughter built up in the next minute as people nudged their neighbours to look at the Slytherin table and see the silent Slytherin and Golden boy with their bright pink hair and pouting faces.

After his face was back to a normal colour Blaise stood and mockingly bowed to the hall, earning him a round of applause. Sue smiled at this, he simply didn't care that much. It was refreshing.

"Happy?" He asked as he sat back down, looking down at his charge.

Parvati nodded, grinning.

Draco seemed to be having fun too, as he was now having to lean on Hermione so he didn't fall from the seat, he was shaking with laughter. Even at his young age he was still a Slytherin.

Sue smiled at the pair before turning to her boyfriend and Harry.

"Hope this will teach you two a lesson" She told them, pointing her fork at them accusingly before turning to her own meal, pancakes...yummy.

Harry rolled his eyes and Blaise smiled back at her cheekily, the two shared a look over Hermione and Draco in that minute. Both knew.

"Lav-lav...why do those boys have pink hair? Are they gay?" A very short (for once) Ronald asked cheekily from down their table, Lavender frowned at him while Pansy snickered into her drink

"Where did you hear that word Ronald?" She asked seriously. Ron smiled broadly, like he knew his words would end with someone getting yelled at.

"Pan-pan said it" He replied innocently. Pansy glared heavily at him while Lavender rounded on the Slytherin girl.

"I've told you again and again not to use words like that infront of him, he uses them because he thinks it's clever!" She scolded, Pansy shrugged and stood up, ready to leave before Lavender could get into rant mode. Too late.

"Don't you leave! I'm not finished with you! My god it's like I'm looknig after two of you! Ronald is the young one here not you!-" This continues as Pansy tried to run out of the hall, Lavender hot on her heels, with Ron in tow, but she stumbles into Luna on her way out and hurriedly passes him off to her, knowing it would be easier to catch the Slytherin without Ron complaining he hadn't eaten enough.

Sue watched the whole thing, very interested, as Luna looked down at the red head with large, clear eyes.

"I'm Luna" She simply said. Ron's ears, along with his whole face, turned bright red as he looked up at this strange girl.

"My name is Ronald."

"Want some pancakes Ronald?" She asked, peering intently at him, holding her hand out, a small strange smile on her lips.

He nodded frantically and clutched onto her thin hand as he was led to the Ravenclaw table, people edged away from the terrifying little Gryffindor as he grabbed all the pancakes from the plates around him. He was soon stopped however, by Luna's wise, if bewildering comment of

"I wouldn't eat all those, the Scallys always eat the chubby little boys first, and I wouldn't want you to get eaten."

Ron looked up at her for a minute, before carefully putting back more than half his aquired pancakes. Luna nodded affirmingly and he began to eat the ones he had left, as Luna picked up two pieces of toast.

Chuckling at the pair Sue turned back to her own group to see Harry peering at his reflection in a spoon as he pulled at his shocking pink hair, Blaise looking straight back at her, a little smile on his face as he winked, blushing, she averted her eyes to Hermione and Draco, who were chatting happily about a book she had read as a child.

With a little sigh and a smile towards Blaise, Sue ate the last bit of her own pancakes and thought to herself knowingly.

Hogsmeade, beware.
