I can't zip my jacket!!!

It had been almost four months since Cecilia had last went out into public on her own. It had been almost four months since she had done anything but school work and mope around the castle and looking over her shoulder to see if Felix Barker was there behind her watching her. But, today on this cold late autumn afternoon she decided to travel into Hogsmeed on her own and into Honeydukes. For some reason she connected with the baby that grew inside of her she had been craving sugar quills, Chocolate frogs, and even the grosses Bertie Botts Every Flavored Jelly Beans.
Before leaving the castle she had dressed herself in her largest pair of jeans an over sided sweater and moccasins accompanied by a jacket that was already too small for her to zip over her stomach. Her hair dangled from her head it saddened her to think it didn't look as lustrous as before. She sighed and pushed the door to the store opened and stepped inside from the cold with a shiver.

Life outside of Hogwarts was always more hectic for Jake than it ever was while he was there. He always found himself wondering how things were in the castle and wishing he was back there. Maybe re-taking his job at the Ministry wasn't the best choice, but he did love what he did. Whenever he got the chance Jake always found himself apparating to the small village on the outskirts of Hogwarts, trying to remember his time at Hogwarts.

Like today, for example. During his break, he'd decided to go to Hogsmeade for another visit. With a small pop he apparated from the entrance of the Ministry to the front of the Three Broomsticks. He wasn't exactly going there though, as he wanted to walk around for a bit. He approached Honeydukes after a while and stopped in front of the entrance. He hadn't had many sweets since he was at least a sixth year. Jake pushed the door to the shop open and he quickly stepped in, looking around the shop before he went down one of the aisles.

By this time Cecilia's arms were full of candy and she was having problems seeing over what she was carrying. And, besides her problems seeing over her items she wan't even paying attention to where she was walking but the items she passed on the shelves. Bumping into somebody sent her candy flying and causing her to momentarily lose her balance. "Oh my I'm sorry," She said quickly as she started to gather up her items so no one would trip on the things laying on the floor and hurt themselves because of her. When they were once again controlled in her arms she looked up at the person she had bumped into, "Jake?" She asked squinting her eyes.
