Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. THis is just a fanfic.
A/N: I know this is a short start, but this is important part to all that follows. Also, this is my frst fanfic so bear with me.
Jasmin stepped into the sunlight. She had just finished Herbology and the sun beamed on her carmel, tired face. She spotted a couple of other Ravenclaws. One of them was Cho Chang. The popular one. Man she couldn't stand that girl, always flipping her silky black hair. Everyone except for Jasmin envied her. She had the looks, the grace, the smile. Why would Jasmin want to be like her if that was the only reason people would like her?
Jasmin brushed past Chang and on through the crowd to the common room. She spotted Potter and Weasley, mouths open, droll hanging from their open traps. Beside them Granger sat on bench, completely ignoring the two idiots. She seemed to be writing something in her notebook. She always had her head in books. One day she'll face reality and she won't know what to do. Jasmin sighed and wandered on.
When she reached the portait for the common room, she said the password and continued in. She sat on one of the navy couches to think. She always just sat down and thought about stuff. Stuff beyond her age. She wandered about more than grades and crushes. She thought about what was real. She thought of You-Know-Who. All his victims.
She glanced up to the wall and froze. Something she did everyday. Everyday she would look at the same portait and feel the same pain. The portait featured Cedric Diggory. Diggory was a HufflepUff, or used to be. Two years ago he was killed by You-Know-Who during a Triwizard Cup, Or at least that's Potter's story. There really was no evidence, just his body.
This incident reminded her of painful memories. Her loved ones were killed by You-Know-Who. Her parents were having a simple cup of tea when the padlock turned and He walked in. She was two at the time, but Jasmin still remembered everything as if it happened yesterday. He was talking to them about something. Then she heard a ear-peircing scream. She closed her eyes and covered her ears. When she opened them back up, her parents were laying on the floor.
Suddenly He turned toward her sister, Cleo, and advanced towards her. Jasmin, being only two covered herself with the blanket and kept still. He started talking to her sister about something. She pointed a finger at Jasmin and replied "Over there." He pulled out his wand and mumbled "Avada Kedavra." A second later Jasmin saw her sister hit the floor. He turned his wicked eyes on her and stepped closer. Jasmin, scared, screamed and started crying. When she didn't hear the foot steps coming any closer, she wiped the tears out of her eyes and saw that He had stepped back, a look a anguish on his face. He disappeared about ten seconds later, his head in his hands.
The next moring a family friend came to visit, only to find the bodies and Jasmin curled under a blanket. When asked what happened, Jasmin started crying and the only letters she muttered were "VVVVVVVV."......
Jasmin woke up in a start. "Musta dozed off" She muttered. Looking at the clock she saw it was 1:26 am. "Shit." She grabbed her stuff and dragged her stuff up to bed but, she couldn't sleep when she got up there. She spent all night tossing and turning, her forehead burning like fire.
