Ch.1
"Ugh. Let me sleep Chelle, I'm tired! Stop touching me!"I shouted at my best friend Michelle.

"Then get up! You are worse than the twins and Ron! We're going to be late if you don't hurry up and get your butt out of Fred's bed!"She screeched. I looked at her with an annoyed look. We stole the twins' room for the summer and they shared a room with Harry and Ron down the hall.

"You make it sound like I slept with him…" I told her. We stayed silent, and then burst into laughter.
Then she then went wide eyed. Her remembrance look, what did she remember this time?

"If you don't get out of bed Jess, you're going to miss us meeting up with Cedric," She teased. I shot straight up and got out of bed. I changed out of my \ sweat pants and sweater and put on a pair of Chelle's blue jeans.

"Those are my jeans," she sighed.

You may be wondering who I am. Well, for starters, I am Jessica Lilly Potter. I have dark brown hair, emerald green eyes.

Yes, I am Harry Potter's older sister. I survived too! I have more scars than he does though… Four to be exact. I used to hide them since they all thought I was dead. The teachers at Hogwarts knew who I was of course; but for the sake of hoping they could keep Harry and I safe, they never let out who I was. Until Harry's first year… I told him in secret; and then it turned out that Voldemort was after him still.
Everyone thinks Harry is one of the most powerful wizards. Actually they believe he's number two. Dumbledore is number one of course. Though, in secret Dumbledore believes I'm more powerful than Harry. Best to just keep those kinds of things to ourselves than gloat.

"Are you two ready yet?!"I heard the twins, Fred and George, shout from the other side of the door. I looked at Michelle who was already dressed. I pulled on my fingerless gloves.

"Come on! Our clothes are in there and we need them!"Fred shouted. Michelle and I giggled.

I have been living with the Weasley's since my fourth year. I'm in my seventh year now. The twins met me when they we're new to the school and I was the number one prankster with their older brother, Percy Weasley.

Back when I was in year four, Percy and I were best buds, and after a few months we found out Fred's little crush he has had on me since then.

"I don't see why you still wear those Jess...They're not needed," Michelle said.

"Habit, it feels weird without them," I told her. She nodded as we left the room.

When I lived with Cedric and his parents, they were so confused because when Voldemort attacked us, us being me and Harry, I was three and was taken to live with them. They were a family friend of moms'. Harry was sent to live with the Dursley's because we had to be separated. Hagrid and Dumbledore said it'd be best if they also messed around with my last name like Tom Riddle did with his full name. It went from Potter to Topert.

We all knew that if people found out about me still being alive, Voldemort would come after me.
The first person I had told about it was Cedric Diggory. He was my other best friend, and I still trust him with my life secrets more than I would with Michelle or Fred. He's been there for me through all of these years; and when my scars sting, he makes sure to help me make them feel better. He can't stand to see me upset or in pain. I guess that why some people, like his father, have said he has been falling for me as well.

***~Flashback~***

"Cedric, Cedric, Cedric! Follow me! I have to tell you a secret!"Shouted a seven year old girl. She ran outside into a field in the back yard of the Diggory's household. She sat in the tall grass, invisible to everyone; except the people who would fly over head on their broomsticks. It was around five in the afternoon.
'Perfect time to tell him my secret! I've kept it from him for too long! And I'm seven today!' She thought. Her emerald eyes glistening. This girls name is Jessica Potter, and she was about to tell her best friend her biggest secret.

"Jessie! Wait up! Where are you?!"Cedric yelled, looking for her. She pulled him into the tall grass right next to her.

"Jessie! I thought you ran away from here! I was about to go and tell mum and dad! I was worried!"He shouted and hugged me tight. I hugged back and then pushed him off.

"Boys have cooties, so get off of me! Ced I have to tell you a secret, but you have to promise to not tell a soul, okay?"I whispered. He nodded.

"I swear on my life Jessie! I would never tell anyone any of your secrets!"

"Okay, but this one is so bad that you can't tell anyone. Not even you parents!" I whispered. He nodded.

"What is it?"

"My last name isn't Topert," she said, looking down. He looked at her confused and made me look up at him.

"Then what is it?"

She leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Potter. I'm the 'dead' Jessica Lilly Potter. Hagrid, a family friend of mine and Harry's dad, changed it so you-know-who would be able to find me. It's also the reason I wear shirts with sleeves and my gloves."

She sat back down normally and looked at him. His eyes were wide with shock and disbelief.

"Y-You're crazy!"He said, barley above a whisper. She looked down at her hands with a sad expression on her face.

"Why won't you believe me? I thought we were friends," she muttered.

"Prove it then," he said. She took off the gloves and showed him.

"Harry's full name Is Harry James Potter. My mom's name was Lily Potter. Dad's name was James Potter. Is that enough proof for you?" she asked, disappointment in her eyes as his face fell in disbelief.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first," he whispered.

"It's okay. It kind of was expected anyways. Oh and you still haven't gave me my birthday present yet!" He put his left index finger on her lips, and put his right index finger on his.

"Shh! You have to wait!"He shouted.

"How long Ced?" she was impatient; but what do you expect from a girl who is seven and her birthday is today?

"Hmm...Until we're seventeen! So ten more years! You'll understand why. Trust me Jessie, you'll see why."

"I won't forget about this then," she said.

"Neither will I. Spit shake on it?" she nodded and shook his hand, and then put the glove back on. He smiled.

"What?"

"I got to see your scar."

She looked at him confused.

"Really? You're happy about my scar?"

"Not about it! Just that I got to see IT!" We giggled and ran back inside when his mother started screaming for us to get back inside for cake.
***~End of flashback~***
"Are we all ready to go now?" asked. We all nodded and said "Yes" in unison.

The sun was just starting to shine above the horizon. It was about six thirty in the morning, and the twins and I where wide awake.

"How about you three early birds wake up the rest completely? Just no pranks or jokes. I know you three very well," said. We nodded with a sigh.

"George, you take Chelle and Ginny. Fred, you get Hermione and Ron. I'll get Harry," I ordered. They nodded and we all high-fived and went our separate ways. I watched as George walked over to Michelle, remembering how we met her.

***~Flashback~***

I was walking down the corridors looking for the Weasley twins. I was about to look in the Gryffindor common room when a girl that I have seen in one of my classes ran out of the common room crying and covered in purple gunk. I walked in and saw Fred on the floor laughing and holding his stomach. I think he busted a gut or something. His face was going purple from lack of oxygen since he was laughing so hard.

"Breathe Fred! Jeez, don't die of laughter now." I said. I looked over to George, who was sitting on the table cross legged and looking kind of sad. The twins are like little brothers to me. I still haven't found Harry yet; but Ron, the twins younger brother, is the same age as him and he will be joining the school next year. So I have next year to look forward to.

I walked over to George and put my arm around his shoulders and lightly leaned against him. I set my cheek on his head and started playing with his hair. George had always been the sensitive one out of the twins. He put his arm around my waist and leaned his head on my shoulder. Knowing the movements he has made, he was going to talk. I've done this over the years to get the boys to talk. I was glad it worked.
Fred was glaring at his brother, and then he stopped when he saw me glaring at him. I use this on Fred, Cedric, and Percy too. It's some weird comforting technique that Mrs. Weasley taught me.
"George, what's wrong?"I asked softly. Fred, seeming to be getting jealous, started to glare at his brother; but George didn't answer. Instead, he just buried his head into my shoulder and sighed. I raised an eyebrow.

"Jealous now, aren't we Fred?"I asked sarcastically. He looked at me with wide eyes as his face went dark red.

"N-No!" he managed to choke out, "It's just that… George really likes the girl we just pranked…" George's head snapped up and his face went red as both the twins glared at each other.

"W-Well..."George started. Fred looked at his brother as if he was going to kill him if he finished, "You like Jess!" George shouted. Fred stood up and jumped at his brother. I moved out of the way right after George said that.

I started walking toward the door.

"I'm just going to leave you two to Percy and go find and talk to that girl who guys got purple junk all over," I said with a sigh and quickly left before both of them could call me back trying to get me to help each other.

I headed towards the girls abandoned bathroom. I heard faint crying so I started to pace a little faster. When I reached there you could tell that there was a girl crying in there. I walked in and found the girl crying, trying to wash the purple gunk off herself. I sat on one of the sinks next to her. She looked at me from the corner of her eye, then back down into the sink.

"Hey, are you okay? I know what the twins did was mean and I'm sorry. I'll help Percy beat the snot out of them later," I said.

"Actually I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking!" Cried a different voice. I rolled my eyes.

"Go away Myrtle," I sighed. I heard a whine that was followed by a cry and another screech.

"You just don't like me!" Myrtle cried more and disappeared back into her toilet. I looked at the girl who had calmed down enough to stop sobbing, but tears were still running down her cheeks. I decided to try and cheer her up, and I knew Myrtle would know what to do.

"Yeah! That's right Myrtle the turtle! You go back into your toilet bowl! You better stay in there, too!" I shouted jokingly. Myrtle would know I'm joking since I called her turtle. It was an inside joke about rhyming her name, and I told her that I would be joking if I called her turtle.
Soon enough, Myrtle acted with her own come back. She controlled the facet next to me and sprayed me with water. I was now soaked. I started to giggle then laughed and fell on the floor.

"Nice shot Myrtle! You got me!" I shouted through the laughing. The girl started laughing to. I saw Myrtle above me and she was giggling.

"Why thank you Jessie!" she said. I looked over at the other girl. She was silently laughing. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

She looked like a Weasley, but she isn't. She had the red hair, although her eyes were not the original brown that all the Weasley's have. Theirs were lighter.

"I see you're in a better mood now. Sorry about the twins prank, it was meant for me seeing how it's going to take days to get that gunk off. George would never prank someone he has a crush on, but Fred would. I'm Jessica Topert," I said and stuck my hand out for her to shake. I stood up, with my hand still out.

"It's okay... George likes me?" she asked, shaking my hand. I nodded.

"You should have seen his reaction after you ran out. He was clearly upset with himself."

"I'm Michelle Smith. It's actually nice to finally talk to you for once. I've tried, but I've been to shy because you are always with the twins. I get very shy near George."

"Well, it looks like a new friendship has just begun. I've never had a friend that's a girl before… Well, one that's alive that is," I said so Myrtle wouldn't get upset.

"I better be your only ghostly girl friend!" Myrtle shouted and then went back into her toilet.
Michelle and I started laughing.

***~End of Flashback~***

I was standing behind Harry, about pull his hood over his head and jump over him. I heard Ginny and Michelle scream, then Ron yell and Hermione shout.

I was my turn now. I took Harry's hood and wrapped it around his face and held it down so he couldn't see and I jumped over his shoulders.

"Hey!" he shouted. I started laughing. The twins and I fell to the ground in a small dog pile, laughing. Harry fixed his hood and looked at me.

"Really sis?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yup! We got told to wake you guys up with no pranks," I stood up and started running to catch up to . When I reached him, I put my hand on his shoulder.

"They're more awake now," I told him.

"Good, cause we're at the meeting point."

"Meeting point?"

"Aw Jessie, don't tell me you forgot we're meeting up with Cedric and his dad already," Michelle teased.

"Ha-ha very funny Chelle... Actually… I did. Wow. Who would have thought I would have forgotten something like that," I muttered, laughing at my stupidity. I stood in the shade, under a tree branch. I felt something tap my shoulder, but when I turned around no one was there. I turned back around to look at the twins. Everyone was laughing.

"Why are you guys laughing at me? I know I'm amusing and funny, but I didn't do anything funny!" I shouted. I felt the tap again and turned around to find Cedric hanging upside down from the low tree branch. He was smirking at me.

"Don't even think about it, tree boy," I said and stepped back. It reminded me of the comics we've read, Spiderman.

"Aw, come on; you know you want it," he teased.
"Do not! Now get down before you fall and bust your head open," I told him, blushing slightly.
"Well it is good to see you again, too," Cedric said, flirtingly. I rolled my eyes. He stretched his arms out and he could still grab me and manage to pull me into a hug while he was upside down hanging from a tree.

"I'm not hugging back because I don't really like where my head kind of is," I whispered. He smiled.

"You'll hug me when I'm standing up-right though right?" he asked. I nodded.

"Okay, that's all I want for right now," he said. He looked at the rest of the group. He pointed to me and mouthed 'She's mine'. I nodded, playing along with it. I saw his dad standing next to , rolling his eyes and putting his head in his hands.

Fred and Harry glared. I shook my head.

"Ced get out of the tree and stop terrorizing your girlfriend," Mr. Diggory said. I felt my face go red. I looked down at Cedric's face, and it was darker then it was because he had all the blood rushing to his head.
Cedric let me go and I walked back over to Michelle.

"You never told me you were going out with him," she joked.

"Ha-ha very funny Chelle," I said sarcastically. She smiled childishly at me. I rolled my eyes and smiled as well.

Cedric showed off by jumping out of the tree by doing a back flip and landing it. I sighed and rolled my eyes as he walked over to me.

"You only wish you could do that," he whispered into my ear.

"I could do it, if I really wanted to and wasn't afraid of breaking my neck," I said as he chuckled.

"Oh! Harry! This is Amos Diggory! Cedric's father," told Harry. Amos went wide eyed.

"This is the famous Harry Potter? The boy who survived? As for his sister who didn't…"Amos said. I scoffed quietly. Cedric hugged me around my waist. I guess he still thought the secret was being kept from Harry.

People could already think that Cedric and I are together; but we're not, even though we may act like it. I'd like to be his girlfriend; but he claims to have his eyes one someone else, and he won't tell anyone. Not even me. Amos shook Harry's hand so fast and hard I thought it was going to pop off.

"Dad, you remember Jessica right?"
"Hold on Cedric. This is the boy my Cedric beat last year?"Amos asked.

"He fell off his broom dad," Cedric sighed.

"What about Jessica?"Amos asked.

"Don't you remember her?" he asked again, gesturing to me.

"Yes of course I remember her! Why wouldn't I?"Amos shouted. Cedric pushed me in front of him. 's eyes went wide as soon as he realized who I was. I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head.

"Jessica? Is that really you? I haven't seen you since we were told you had to be moved to the Weasley's house! Wow have you grown!"He shouted hugging me tight. I hug back slightly. I swear he loved me more than anyone else. He pulled back and then looked at me oddly. I noticed he looked at Harry and then back to me.

"Does he know yet?" he whispered to me. I nodded.

"Of course he knows. All of us here know; and all the teachers at Hogwarts do too," I answered. He nodded.

"As for the rest of the school?" he questioned further. I swallowed. I forgot to tell them what Dumbledore wanted me to do on the first day back…
