The reason she needed us was because no one else would take her. Despite our better relations between the races, most Grest men didn't really like the...idea of intermarrying. Tiks didn't either, so that left only us to take her in.Erma and Verine got down from the wagon and hugged her and then introduced us. I told her about our family and asked if she would consent to come and live with us.Tonette started crying and came to me and told me that she would always appreciate this act of kindness.We. "Thank you so much. I feel so pretty." I said.I didn't think Donna could become more beautiful than the first time I saw her but boy was I wrong. She was a knock out. "You look amazing." I said.

What did I do I thought as I went to my closet to look for a dress to wear to dinner. I decided to wear my black and gold. I will not be like Louisa. I will not look back in 10 years and wonder when my kids grew up and when my husband stopped loving me.

"But I'm sure she fill you in when she comes home for the summer." I doubt it," said Mrs. Granger. "But one can always hope."Skeeter was very happy about her own letter that she'd received from Hermione, just after Christmas, in which Hermione released Skeeter from her promise to write.
