Chapter 1
"Why did I say yes to this?" Hermione groaned as she sat at a table. She had somehow agreed to help Harry and Ron with a Divanition project. They were to use a crystal ball. But of course, they were trying something different...
"Okay... uh..." Ron began awkwardly, "hey spirit!" Hermione resisted the urge to scoff and roll her eyes. Harry resisted the urge to just give up and Ron was about to do so when...
"Hello."
They all gasped as a voice echoed in their heads.
"You... are you talking to us?" Harry asked.
"I thought crystal balls told the future, not contacted spirits." Hermione added.
"... and, I don't follow the rules. I was bored... and lonely."
"Oh... uh, well, I..."
"What is it? Am I boring you?"
The trio shook their heads. They just made contact with a spirit. A lonely, female as they believed her to be by her voice, spirit who probably wanted to have some fun.
"Uh... how old are you?"
"As is when I died or now?"
"Both." Hermione said after a while.
"When I died I was... fifteen. I'll be three hundred and fifteen in December. So, I'm over three hundred years old. And you?"
"We're all about the same age as you.. minus the three hundred years." Here they swore they could of heard a faint laugh.
"So, what do you look like?"
"I have white hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. As for clothing, a white and brown dress, the skirt is torn, a dark brown corset and cloak and frayed leggings. No shoes. I don't like them. I also have a staff or crook or whatever ya wanna call it."
"You sound like a bloody Malfoy."
"RONALD!"
"Ouch!" Harry and the girl laughed.
"Erm, question. Who or what, is a Malfoy?"
"He's a bloody git. But, who are you, is what I want to know and, will we ever see you around?" Harry replied seeing as to hpw Ron was beong chastied by Hermione.
"My name is Jacklyn. Call me Jack or Jackie! But ya might get to know me better on Halloween. Byebye!" And Jack was gone. Harry looked confused. Tomorrow was Halloween.
"Guys, do you think..." The others nodded dumbly. As soon as they could, they went to sleep. The next day was Saturday,so they spent it trying to avoid Umbridge, the bitchy DADA Professor. They were grateful Dumbledore decided to throw a party. The trio quickly found Nick talking to the Headmaster.
"... she just appeared out of nowhere. Frightened, reminded me of an injured wolf pup. Said her name was Jacklyn. Wanted to see Hogwarts herself." The trio shared a look.
"So, Hogwarts will he receiving a new spirit?" Now everyone turned to them.
"Headmaster, you shouldn't let a stray spirit wander in! It's prepostorous!" Umbridge seethed.
"The girl only just regained her memories after three hundred years of isolation. She conviced to let her in. She just needs permission to stay." As soon as he said those words, a young girl appeared. Her white skin, pale skin and blue eyes seemed almost solid. The girl held a staff defensively.
"Jack?!" The girl turned to the trio and smiled.
"You're the ones I spoke to with the crystal ball!" Jack jumped up happily.
"Pleasure to meet you Jack, uh, in person."
"Uh... why is granni Barbie looking at me like that?" Jack pointed at Umbridge, who was giving her the stink eye. "Helloooooo?" she knocked on the woman's forehead. Umbridge felt a sharp pain in her head and she stormed off, muttering about the Ministry and stupid frost spirits.
"Hey! I'm offended!" Jack frowned for a moment before turning to the Golden Trio with a bright smile, "Show me round! NOW!" And with that, she dragged them out of the Great Hall...
