It has been a long day, Jessie was thinking on her way back to the Gryffindor Common Room, her Quidditch uniform dripping on the staircase as other students walked past her. And it's only 1:30 in the afternoon. She had been at Quidditch practice from 9 o'clock that morning, and at around 12 it had started to poor down rain but Oliver had not let them out of the practice until an hour later because he had a date with Lainee Roads, one of Jessie's best friends. She was a chaser this year, her first year on the Quidditch team, and Harry had already passed her up the stairs on his way to the Common Room after a quick good practice to her. It was his fourth year on the team, but she was two years ahead of him and was 16. The others who were in her year on the team were Angelina Johnson and Fred and George Weasley, and though she would never tell she had a huge crush on Fred Weasley. She had stopped at the library in her wet robes and been chased out of there by Madam Pince the librarian who was afraid that Jessie would get water all over her precious books.
"Good Practice today Milis," Fred said as he passed Jessie on the stairs, George not far behind him. Speak of the Devil, Jessie thought with a smile.
"You too Fred, George," Jessie replied.
"Feel like trying out a candy for us?" George said with a sparkle in his eyes as Jessie laughed. She knew what kind of candy he wanted her to test, probably another of their candies for their Weasley Wizard Weezes.
"Maybe if I get cleaned up, rough practice Oliver put us through today," Jessie laughed.
"Guess we'll see you in the common room Milis," Fred said and started walking again.
"Bye Jessie," George said.
"See you two later," Jessie said and continued her way up the stairs to the seventh floor. It was nothing new for Fred to call Jessie Milis by her surname. And if Jessie was going to be honest, and most of the time she was, she liked it that Fred called her Milis because no one else did. She made it up to the Fat Lady and gave the password, "Mistletoe," and walked up to the 4th year girl's dorm. In there she went through her trunk to find her pajama bottoms. It was a Saturday and no one would expect her to leave the common room much today and if she were too then she would just got back up and change into normal pants. Her pajama bottoms were a gold and red plaid and she just wore a basic red long sleeve tee shirt. She also put on her pair of black slippers so that her feet wouldn't get cold when she went downstairs to hang out with her friends.
She walked down the stairs with a book in her hand in case her friend Lainee wasn't back from her date yet, and if Elizabeth was off running around the castle wrecking havoc with Lee Jordan, Fred and George's partner in crime whom Elizabeth had befriended back in their first year. She was met at the bottom of the stairs with Lainee running at her with an excited look in her eyes.
"Jessie, he kissed me! He kissed me, he kissed me in the rain! Oh, it was so ROMANTIC!" Lainee said dancing around in a circle with Jessie caught in her grasp.
"He didn't!" Jessie said with a big smile on her face, she knew that Lainee and Oliver had been going out for a month and Oliver had yet to kiss Lainee and she had no idea why. I guess he just wanted it to be special, Jessie thought.
"He did, he did!" Lainee said with her face all lit up.
"Where is he now?" Jessie asked.
"He was pulled away by Filtch for getting caught kissing me," Lainee giggled, "That's why our date was so short," At that point both girls burst out giggling and went to sit in front of the fireplace because Jessie was still cold from the rain drying on her clothes. She noticed that Lainee wasn't even damp.
"Why aren't you wet if you just got kissed in the rain?" Jessie asked confused.
"A simple drying charm silly," Lainee laughed and Jessie blushed forgetting that she could have done that. Though she had also forgotten the spell so it wouldn't have done her much good anyway.
"Pardon me ladies, but I was under the impression that this one would help us with a few things," Fred said with a smile and pointing at Jessie who was still blushing.
"Oh yeah, Lainee would you like to help?" Jessie said begging Lainee with her eyes to say yes, but Lainee caught on and smirked.
"No, I had better go make sure that Oliver isn't getting into to much heat for earlier, have fun Jessie," Lainee said with a wink and got up from the couch.
"I'll get you back for this!" Jessie called laughing and heard Lainee's answering laugh as the portrait hole closed behind her.
"Are you coming? Or are we going to have to go hunt down Lee and Elizabeth who are both probably enjoying a prank on some nasty Slytherins to enroll their help?" Fred said smiling.
"I'm up, I'm up." Jessie said laughing and they walked to the other side of the room where George was waiting with his box of what looked to be Puking Pasties from across the room.
"Care to help us slip these to Filtch?" Fred said with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"As long as I don't have to eat them, I'm good. When and where?" Jessie said excitement entering her voice.
A/N: Hey guys! I've decided that I needed a new story… and if you've read Flying Forward, don't get mad I've just got a bad case of writers block! And so I decided that I needed something new to write, and I'll tell you right now I might be a bit updating on a normal basis. I've got a while to write so I'll probably update this story soon! I'd love a review! :3
