Chapter One
Jessie looked around the train station.
Where was the bloody train? How could there even be a bloody Platform 9 3/4 any ways?
Bloody hell!!!
She suddenly saw a couple of boys who fooling around and their mothers were trying to get them to move on. They reluctantly did it but with an obvious grudge.One of them said something and they all laughed. But the odd thing was that their carts had OWLS.
She was about to go over to them and their party. But then she saw a small girl who had bushy red hair make her way over to them. She seemed very shy and alone. When they started to fool around with her Jessie made her was over there.
"What are you doing?" she demanded.
They all looked up at her.
She saw the girl had a pale complexion and had exotic emerald green eyes.
The boys were very good looking. One of them had long smooth dark brown hair and dashing brown eyes. His smile was very handsome.
The other one had extremely messy black hair that would not be tame. He had round glasses that concealed his gray eyes.
When the boys looked at her, it was one of amusement. The girl looked relieved.
"We were just having fun with Mrs. Evans here, weren't we James?" the one with dark brow hair said.
"Why, yes, Sirius. We were just telling her how to get on to the platform."
Jessie suddenly got a rush of nerves.
"Then tell her and get on with your life."
At that comment both of them got even more amused.
"So you're a muggle-born then, aren't you?" said the one called James
"Yes. What's wrong with that?" Jessie said quickly.
"Oh, nothing. Just as long as you don't make friends wit the wrong people." Said anther boy, who looked as if he was recently very sick.
The one they called Sirius quickly surveyed her and then twirled her about so that her long, thick, curly blonde hair swung about her face. She suddenly stopped to see the wall in between the platforms. Sirius leaned his head over her shoulder and pointed to the wall. "Just walk really quickly through that wall and you'll be on the platform."
Just then their mothers called the boys over and they said good bye as they went through the wall. Lily got wide eyed at the sight.
Jessie took the opportunity to introduce herself to Lily.
"Hi, I'm Jessie Loadman."
The girl smiled warmly.
"Hi, I'm Lily Evans. So you're a muggle-born too?"
"Yes. I guess we have to try to get through the platform. Want to go first?" Jessie said calmly, although she was really excited.
"Oh no, you can go." Lily said nervously.
"Alright then."
With that Jessie headed off in a brisk walk through the platform wall. She felt a slight tingling feeling before she realized that she was at an entirely new platform. There was a scarlet train waiting underneath a large scarlet sign reading Platform 9 ¾.
"Hi!" said a surprising voice behind her.
It was Sirius.
"I was wondering where you were. Where's your friend. Lily was it?"
At that moment Lily came in through the wall.
"Ahh, and there she is! Hey why don't you two come and sit with us and Peter?"
Jessie and Lily exchanged a small glance at each other before they both nodded.
They were led to a compartment by the boys. There was already a small and skinny boy waiting there.
Sirius said, "Girls this is our good friend Peter Pettigrew. You know my name Sirius Black and that this is James Potter (He pointed out the boy with messy black hair) and this is Remus Lupin (he pointed out the sickly boy). Peter, this is Lily Evans and." He trailed off realizing that he didn't know Jessie's name.
"I'm Jessie. Nice to meet you."
"Hi" said Peter in a squeaky voice.
The girls set up their trunks and stuff and sat down with Jessie's cat, Midnight.
Soon another girl came into their compartment.
"Can come and sit here. All the others are full."
"LYNN!"
It was then she realized the three boys on the other side if the compartment.
"Oh great." she muttered to herself. "I am stuck with Sirius Black and James Potter. Oh joy," she said bitterly.
"Glad to know that you love us, Lynn" said James
Lynn let out an exasperated sigh and sat down next to Lily.
"Hi, I'm Lynn Jones"
"I'm Jessie and this is Lily."
"I see you have had the displeasure of meeting Sirius Black"
At this Sirius put on a mock pout and said, "I feel hurt."
James laughed and Jessie giggled.
Sirius smiled and laughed too. It was rich and full laughter.
"I'm sure there are plenty of other girls who will be willing to be my friend. Like Jessie here" he said with a suggestive smile and wiggling his eyebrows.
Lynn rolled her eyes and Jessie just smiled.
"We'll see."
Soon they were at Hogwarts. When they first got off it was a mad rush and they did not know what to do. But the soon heard a loud roar over all the students.
"Firs' years!!! Firs' years this way!!!!"
The small group all huddled over to the large and bushy man that was calling. He stood easily over all the students.
"Come over 'ere! We've got da boats waitin'!" When the giant thought that all of the students were there he yelled again.
"I'm Hagrid, I'll be taking ya'll over to da castle now! Ever' one best get in a boat! Four to a boat and no more, ya hear?"
They all went to a boat and Jessie, Lily and Lynn said goodbye to Sirius, James and Peter.
When the girls got in the boat they were soon joined by another girl. She introduced herself as Emily Smith. She was very friendly, with mousy blond hair and pale blues eyes she was very cute.
"So, how do you know Sirius and James?" asked Jessie to Lynn.
"I've known them since I was born. Our parents know each other well so we had to meet. Trust me, I don't want to know them. Just look at them"
She pointed to another boat that was madly rocking back ad forth. Sure enough, Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter were in it.
The girls laughed at them as their boat tipped over and they struggled to get it right. They eventually had to just sit on top of the underside that was showing. When they saw the girls all laughing the waved at them and made goofy smiles.
They soon turned a corner and saw the magnificent Hogwarts castle. It was stunning. But before they could aww and ooh they were ushered into a small passage into the castle.
They were met there by a stern looking woman, who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall.
"Soon you will be going through these doors and meeting your fellow classmates. Then you will be sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. I suggest you try to smarten yourselves up. as best you can." She said eyeing the four boys who were soaking wet.
The all smiled mischievously and the girls made their way over to them.
"I can't believe you capsized your boat!" said Emily.
"I can" muttered Lynn.
They all broadened their smiles.
"It was immense fun, wouldn't you say so James?" said Sirius
"Why yes I would, Sirius."
It looked as if they were going to say something more but they were stopped when McGonagall came.
"We are ready for you now."
She led the group through the large oak doors and into a large dining hall. They were led to the head table where an old hat began to sing. It sang about the different houses,
Oh I may be old and torn But do not judge me quickly I do a job for what I was born To quarter you fair and equally You may belong in Gryffindor House of the fair and brave You may belong in Ravenclaw House where knowledge is craved You may belong in Slytherin House of the most cunning You may belong in Hufflepuff House where most are humbling My song is now over, let the sorting now begin!
Everybody clapped.
"When I call out your name you will came up and place the hat on your head. When you have been sorted into your houses you will go to your house table." Said Professor McGonagall.
"Black, Sirius"
On Jessie's side she could hear Lynn whispering, "Not Gryffindor."
At the same time the hat yelled
"GRYFINDOR!"
Lynn was now whispering, "Bloody hell."
"Bones, Amelia"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Crabbe, Carl"
"SLYTHERIN!""
"Evans, Lily"
When her name was called, Lily begun to shake. Jessie whispered "good luck." Before she pushed the frightened girl ahead. She still saw she was trembling when she put the hat on her head.
"GRYFINDOR!"
Lily gave out a relieved sigh before she headed out to where Sirius was sitting.
"Goyle, Jon"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Griffin, Payne"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Hanson, Harry!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Jones, Lynn"
Lynn was very confident and took a stride up to the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Loadman, Jessica!"
Jessie herself was getting very nervous. But she did her best not to show it. As soon as she placed the hat on her head it screamed.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
She could see Sirius, Lily, and Lynn clapping really hard as she made her way over to them. They all congratulated her.
"Good job, Jessica" said Sirius
"Oh shove it up your arse, or I'll call YOU some nickname."
"Like what?"
"Sissy"
"Shutting up now."
"Lupin, Remus"
Then they saw the other boy that had been on the boat before with James and Sirius and had also been with them at the platform.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Malfoy, Lucius"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"O'Keefe, Russell"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Potter, James"
They saw James going up to the hat quite easily.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Great. if one comes, the others will follow." muttered Lynn.
"Pettigrew, Peter"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Just like I said." muttered Lynn again
"Smith, Emily"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Jessie, Lynn and Lily clapped the loudest. All four of them were in the same house.
"Snape, Severus"
At this all of the boys bared their teeth. They even heard a small moan from Lynn.
It was a kid, that even from far away you could see that he had slimy, oily black hair and a long pointed nose.
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Where else?" muttered James darkly.
Jessie looked at Lily and they both shrugged.
"Voltaire, Ray"
"RAVENCLAW!"
With that McGonagall rolled up her list and sat at the staff table.
An old man with long flowing silver hair and twinkly eyes stood up from the middle of the staff table.
"Before we start our feast I have a few words. Pig. Cow. Monkey. Now let there be food!"
Then all of the gold magically began to fill themselves up. Everybody began reaching for the food to fill up their plates.
They were all absorbed in their food that they didn't notice at first that many ghosts had entered the great hall. One of them sprung up through the Gryffindor table causing all of them to stop eating.
"Hello!"
One of the fourth years answered
"Hello Nearly Headless Nick!"
Sirius and James began to burst with excitement at this.
"So your Nick?!?! Can we see it?" said James, jumping in his seat.
Nick hesitated before he pulled on one of ears and his head was just resting on a little piece of his neck. It looked as if the executioner had done a horrible job attempting to behead him.
"Eww!" Lynn screamed.
"Cool" said everybody else
Nick looked a little embarrassed at all the attention.
"Ah well. I best be going now."
At that he put his head back on and floated away.
"Wicked." said Remus and everybody agreed.
Soon it was time to go to there dorms. The prefects led them to the Gryffindor common room and told them the password. Then they were left in their rooms to unpack and go to bed.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
When Jessie woke up the next day, she was surprised to find herself in Hogwarts. But suddenly remembered why she was there and she quickly shrugged it off. She looked at her watch and figured it was time to get dressed.
She got up off her bed and then Emily started to stir.
"Mornin'" Emily said groggily.
"You might want to get dressed. Breakfast is in 30 minutes."
"Kay, but do you think we should wake Lynn and Lily?"
"Yeah. I'll take Lynn because she seems like a heavy sleeper. I like a challenge"
They went to their friends beds. Lily proved to be a light sleeper. Lynn wasn't.
Jessie first tried to wake her up by calling her name in her ear.
"Lynn. Oh Lynn.."
Lynn growled and turned over. When she turned, her arm stuck out and it clasped onto Jessie's neck. She was forced to be pulled head first into Lynn's pillow.
She could hear Emily and Lily giggling loudly. Then she heard a click and a flash.
Lynn woke up and saw Jessie.
Then she saw Lily with a camera in her hands.
She screamed.
"You. You took. I'm gonna kill you!"
With that she ran after Lily and her camera through the room.
Now Jessie and Emily hung back, laughing hysterically. And their insane friends
-*-*-*-
Thirty minutes later they went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They sat down next to the boys.
"What was going on this morning in your room?" asked James
"Yeah, it woke me up." Said Sirius with a mock pout.
"Not to mention it's a very hard to wake a sleeper like Sirius up. He once slept through an entire rampage of hippogriffs."
"DID NOT!!"
The entire Great Hall turned to stare at him.
"HI PEOPLES!!!!!" he yelled
The hall went back to its noise level.
The girls immediately broke down in laughter as they told of the morning to the boys. Even Lynn had to laugh when they told of how she clung to Jessie.
When the girls were done the boys looked at them. Then Sirius talked.
"Can I have a copy of the photo?"
They all broke down in laughter again. Only Sirius looked confused.
"What?"
Then the morning post came in. Jessie, Emily, and Lily thought it was awesome. Them being the only muggle-borns. Everyone else was just waiting to see if they themselves got any mail.
Lynn got a letter and package from her parents. Remus got a newspaper. At this the other boys scoffed.
"The Daily Prophet? Jeez, why don't you just get Really Boring Wizards Weekly?" said James and they all laughed.
"At least I know what's going on in the world and not just what pranks to pull next" said Remus smiling.
At this Sirius and James's grins grew wider. "Thanks for the complement" said Sirius, "It was unexpected from a boring newspaper reader."
"Hey Remus, can I borrow that?" said Jessie, pointing at his newspaper.
Sirius's grin dropped. The rest of the boys seemed that they would soon explode with laughter at him.
"Humph" said Sirius.
"Certainly, Jessie." Said Remus, with a struggled straight face.
"Thanks."
Jessie took the paper from Remus and opened it up. For all the boys except Sirius burst out laughing finally.
"Ohh! These pictures are moving. Cool!"
Sirius was the only one who could talk so he said, "Yeah. What else would they do?" and soon he was also in laughter.
Lily and Emily leaned over to look.
"Ohh!"
"Cool!"
Lynn finally brought them all back to life and said that they needed to get to class.
-*-*-*-
Their first class was Double Potions with the Slytherins. You could tell that James and Sirius were not pleased with this arrangement.
This was when they met Snape.
Sirius 'accidentally' bumped into Snape when he was passing to his seat. Snape turned and gave him a menacing look.
"Watch it Black." He snarled
"Ooh, I'm so scared." Said Sirius.
"I see you have already made some new friends." Said Snape, nodding his head towards Jessie and Lily.
"No doubt Mudbloods" he muttered under his breath.
At this all chaos broke out. Sirius and James pounced on Snape so quickly Snape didn't even see them.
"Hem, hem."
The professor walked in and saw the beat up boys. Sirius had a black eye and a split lip. James had some bruises around his face too and held his arm as if it were broken. Snape was the worst. He had massive bruises and his arm was totally broken by the way it stuck out. Parts of his clothing were ripped and were now seeping with blood.
"Dear, dear. What has happened here? 20 points each from your houses. You all best get up to the hospital wing. By the looks of it none of you can walk."
"You," she pointed at Jessie "can help this man here." She pointed at Sirius.
"You," she pointed at Lily, "can escort this young man here." She pointed at James.
Then she made a Slytherin help Snape and they were on their way off.
No one talked on the way except for Jessie mumbling a "Thanks" in Sirius ear, at which he tried to smile with his split lip. When she saw him try, Jessie smiled at him.
They all made it to the hospital wing. Madam Promfry fretted and clucked over them all in turn. Jessie and Lily waited until Sirius and James were okay before returning to Potions.
When they got there the Potions master, Professor Winiski, everybody else was partnered up and was working on their potion.
Jessie and Lily partnered up and began to work.
"Okay, so we'll need this thing. blah blah. Help me." Jessie said pleadingly to Lily
"Well, first get these ingredients from the cupboard"
Jessie did so
"Okay, um, why don't you cut this up and I'll start mixing the ingredients"
By the end of the class they had had a perfect potion.
"From now on, we partner up and you are the total boss, Lily." Jessie said in awe.
"Why?"
"Because you are smart and actually know what you're doing. Geez, you are SO smart. I know absolutely nothing compared to you"
They both laughed and from then on were best friends.
-*-*-*-
By the end the day, everybody in the whole school knew what happened down in the dungeons between Sirius, James, and Snape.
All through dinner Snape gave dirty looks to them. People were always coming up towards them and congratulating them.
"I don't see why you're getting attention." Said Lynn haughtily. "All you did was get into a fight."
"Against the world's biggest git. Just look at what he called Jessie and Lily and Emily! That's not right!" exclaimed James.
"We were doing right for our friends!" said Sirius
"Just friends?" mumbled Remus suggestively.
Everybody but Jessie and Sirius burst out laughing.
"What?!?!" they both exclaimed, as they were the farthest seated away from Remus and not let in on the joke.
"Don't worry." Lynn was able to manage.
"Sure." said Jessie skeptically
They all finished their dinner and went up to the common room. Where they all had to do their homework.
-*-*-*-
"Ugh! Homework!" said Sirius and Jessie at the exact same time as another. Everyone else broke out in laughter again. Jessie and Sirius gave surprised looks at another.
Jessie shrugged it off while Sirius was still in a state of surprise.
Jessie sighed. "Well, we better get started."
They all agreed and began to work.
-*-*-*-
"Whew! My brain is all tired out!" said Sirius finally.
"Sirius." Jessie said slowly. "IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 MINUTES!"
"I know! I've spent too much time on homework already!"
The girls all looked at Sirius in disbelief. The boys except Remus silently nodded.
"We need a break." Said James
"We still need to plan our first prank!" exclaimed Sirius.
"First prank?" asked Emily
Lynn answered for them
"We have here the two biggest pranksters I have ever had the misfortune to meet. Now they're going to recruit Peter and Remus into their mess."
"Yep!" said Sirius and James.
"Well, don't expect us to get into YOUR mess." Said Lynn
"Don't worry. We won't." said Sirius.
James bent over and whispered something into Peter and Remus's ears and they all burst out laughing.
Sirius got red in the face.
"I heard that."
Which only made them laugh even harder.
The girls gave puzzled looks at another.
"Whatever." Said Lily
The boys all hustled to their dorms, leaving the girls to finish their homework.
The girls all finished their homework in about an hour and the boys had not yet reappeared. Lynn and Emily were playing chess while Jessie watched and Lily read a book.
Emily was having a hard time getting her pieces to listen to her.
"Shut up" she muttered, aggravated. She was losing badly.
"Ha ha." Said Lynn, who was enjoying Emily's strain.
Emily gave her a dirty look and moved one of her chess pieces. Only to be taken away by Lynn's bishop. Thus making Emily even more frustrated.
"Jeez, Emily, I've never seen you like this."
"I don't like losing."
Jessie and Lynn laughed.
The boys soon came down from the staircase and were all smiling broadly.
"What's up? You look like you've just seen Snape expelled." Asked Jessie.
"You'll see. Just keep your eyes peeled tomorrow morning at breakfast." Said James mysteriously.
Remus was survying Lynn and Emily's game. He whispered something in Emily's ear and she moved one of her pieces into checkmate on Lynn.
"Ha! Checkmate!"
"Hey! No fair! You can't help her Remus!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's against the rules!"
"What rules? We didn't agree on any rules"
"Grr."
Emily smiled broadly at Lynn. Almost as big as the boys.
"Thanks Remus."
"No problem."
-*-*-*-
"Yay!"
Jessie was jumping up and down on her bed.
"C'mon, guys! Anyone want to challenge me in a pillow fight?"
"I will!" said Lily.
Lily jumped onto Jessie bed and they started to thrash their pillows at each other.
"You are so childish." Said Lynn.
"Want to join us? Lynn? Emily?" asked Lily
"I will!" cried Emily.
The pillow fight got even louder and bigger.
Then a pillow hit Lynn.
Everything stopped. Nothing moved. It was totally silent for what seemed like an eternity.
"NOW IT'S ON!" screamed Lynn.
The three girls couldn't help but laughed as they meagerly tried to defend themselves from Lynn.
Soon they were everywhere, trying to defend and fight against each other.
An hour later the fight was over and all their pillows were torn and their were feathers everywhere. All of the girls were out of breath and tired.
"Dear, dear." Said Lily. "Scourgify"
The room was magically clean and their pillows were back to normal.
"I'm tired now." Said Emily and Lynn nodded.
They went to bed but Jessie and Lily stayed up and talked. Their beds were right next to each other so they could whisper and not disturb the others. They eventually went to sleep near 2:00 am.
-*-*-*-
The next morning the girls did not see the boys in the common room.
"I wonder." muttered Jessie
They went down to the Great Hall to find the boys waiting for them there.
""What took you?! Sirius here wanted to wait for you all." said James snickered
Sirius got a bit red. "I didn't want you guys to not see it."
"Well, what is it already?!?!?" Jessie practically screamed
"Just watch." Said Remus.
The boys began to fiddle with their wands under the table.
Over by the Slytherin table there was a small pouf of smoke over Snape and his friend's head.
Snape was now wearing a fluffy pink princess gown with chubby pigs on it and matching piggy slippers. His hair turned into a crown of multicolored hair that had actually been washed. He was turning around and around on his tip toes like a ballerina.
His two friends had been made to wear crimson lady-in-waiting gowns with cows on them with matching cow slippers. Their hair was suddenly purple and tied in pigtails like Pippi Longstocking. They were forced to deeply curtsy every time Snape made circle.
The hall erupted with laughter. At the Gryffindor table the boys and girls were laughing the hardest. Except one.
"That was cruel!" said Lily.
"You have to admit, Lils, it was funny." Jessie said between laughter.
"FUNNY?!?! That was downright MEAN!!!" Lily screamed
"Well, he deserved it." Said Sirius in between laughter.
"How'd you do it?" asked a Jessie as she struggled in between laughter
"Put some potion in his drink. Works every time. Lousy git will never learn." Said James. The rest of the boys nodded their heads in agreement.
They saw that Snape and his two friends were glaring at them from across the hall. When they looked out to the teacher's table they saw McGonagall get pale and her lips tight. Dumbledore' eyes were twinkling.
McGonagall stood up.
"When we find out who did this they will be punished severely. Their punishment will be less strict if they confront us now."
The boys looked at themselves. They simultaneously nodded. They climbed on top of Gryffindor table and took gracious bows. The Hall burst out in laughter.
"POTTER, BLACK, PETTIGREW, LUPIN!!!!! DETENTION ALL WEEK AND 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!" McGonagall shrieked.
This did not stop the out pouring of laughter.

Chapter One
Jessie looked around the train station.
Where was the bloody train? How could there even be a bloody Platform 9 3/4 any ways?

"Then tell her and get on with your life."
At that comment both of them got even more amused.
"So you're a muggle-born then, aren't you?" said the one called James
"Yes. What's wrong with that?" Jessie said quickly.
"Oh, nothing. Just as long as you don't make friends wit the wrong people." Said anther boy, who looked as if he was recently very sick.
The one they called Sirius quickly surveyed her and then twirled her about so that her long, thick, curly blonde hair swung about her face.

The girl smiled warmly.

"Yes. I guess we have to try to get through the platform. Want to go first?" Jessie said calmly, although she was really excited.
"Oh no, you can go." Lily said nervously.
"Alright then."
With that Jessie headed off in a brisk walk through the platform wall. She felt a slight tingling feeling before she realized that she was at an entirely new platform. There was a scarlet train waiting underneath a large scarlet sign reading Platform 9 ¾.
"Hi!" said a surprising voice behind her.
It was Sirius.
"I was wondering where you were. Where's your friend. Lily was it?"
At that moment Lily came in through the wall.
"Ahh, and there she is! Hey why don't you two come and sit with us and Peter?"
Jessie and Lily exchanged a small glance at each other before they both nodded.
They were led to a compartment by the boys. There was already a small and skinny boy waiting there.
Sirius said, "Girls this is our good friend Peter Pettigrew. You know my name Sirius Black and that this is James Potter (He pointed out the boy with messy black hair) and this is Remus Lupin (he pointed out the sickly boy). Peter, this is Lily Evans and." He trailed off realizing that he didn't know Jessie's name.

Soon they were at Hogwarts. When they first got off it was a mad rush and they did not know what to do. But the soon heard a loud roar over all the students.
"Firs' years!!! Firs' years this way!!!!"
The small group all huddled over to the large and bushy man that was calling. He stood easily over all the students.
"Come over 'ere! We've got da boats waitin'!" When the giant thought that all of the students were there he yelled again.
"I'm Hagrid, I'll be taking ya'll over to da castle now! Ever' one best get in a boat! Four to a boat and no more, ya hear?"
They all went to a boat and Jessie, Lily and Lynn said goodbye to Sirius, James and Peter.
When the girls got in the boat they were soon joined by another girl. She introduced herself as Emily Smith. She was very friendly, with mousy blond hair and pale blues eyes she was very cute.
"So, how do you know Sirius and James?" asked Jessie to Lynn.
"I've known them since I was born. Our parents know each other well so we had to meet. Trust me, I don't want to know them. Just look at them"
She pointed to another boat that was madly rocking back ad forth. Sure enough, Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter were in it.
The girls laughed at them as their boat tipped over and they struggled to get it right. They eventually had to just sit on top of the underside that was showing. When they saw the girls all laughing the waved at them and made goofy smiles.

"We are ready for you now."
She led the group through the large oak doors and into a large dining hall. They were led to the head table where an old hat began to sing. It sang about the different houses,
Oh I may be old and torn But do not judge me quickly I do a job for what I was born To quarter you fair and equally You may belong in Gryffindor House of the fair and brave You may belong in Ravenclaw House where knowledge is craved You may belong in Slytherin House of the most cunning You may belong in Hufflepuff House where most are humbling My song is now over, let the sorting now begin!
Everybody clapped.
"When I call out your name you will came up and place the hat on your head. When you have been sorted into your houses you will go to your house table." Said Professor McGonagall.
"Black, Sirius"
On Jessie's side she could hear Lynn whispering, "Not Gryffindor."
At the same time the hat yelled
"GRYFINDOR!"
Lynn was now whispering, "Bloody hell."
"Bones, Amelia"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Crabbe, Carl"
"SLYTHERIN!""
"Evans, Lily"
When her name was called, Lily begun to shake. Jessie whispered "good luck." Before she pushed the frightened girl ahead. She still saw she was trembling when she put the hat on her head.
"GRYFINDOR!"
Lily gave out a relieved sigh before she headed out to where Sirius was sitting.
"Goyle, Jon"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Griffin, Payne"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Hanson, Harry!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Jones, Lynn"
Lynn was very confident and took a stride up to the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Loadman, Jessica!"
Jessie herself was getting very nervous. But she did her best not to show it. As soon as she placed the hat on her head it screamed.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
She could see Sirius, Lily, and Lynn clapping really hard as she made her way over to them. They all congratulated her.
"Good job, Jessica" said Sirius
"Oh shove it up your arse, or I'll call YOU some nickname."
"Like what?"
"Sissy"
"Shutting up now."
"Lupin, Remus"
Then they saw the other boy that had been on the boat before with James and Sirius and had also been with them at the platform.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Malfoy, Lucius"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"O'Keefe, Russell"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Potter, James"
They saw James going up to the hat quite easily.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Great. if one comes, the others will follow." muttered Lynn.
"Pettigrew, Peter"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Just like I said." muttered Lynn again
"Smith, Emily"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Jessie, Lynn and Lily clapped the loudest. All four of them were in the same house.
"Snape, Severus"
At this all of the boys bared their teeth. They even heard a small moan from Lynn.
It was a kid, that even from far away you could see that he had slimy, oily black hair and a long pointed nose.
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Where else?" muttered James darkly.
Jessie looked at Lily and they both shrugged.
"Voltaire, Ray"
"RAVENCLAW!"
With that McGonagall rolled up her list and sat at the staff table.
An old man with long flowing silver hair and twinkly eyes stood up from the middle of the staff table.
"Before we start our feast I have a few words. Pig. Cow. Monkey. Now let there be food!"
Then all of the gold magically began to fill themselves up. Everybody began reaching for the food to fill up their plates.
They were all absorbed in their food that they didn't notice at first that many ghosts had entered the great hall. One of them sprung up through the Gryffindor table causing all of them to stop eating.
"Hello!"
One of the fourth years answered
"Hello Nearly Headless Nick!"
Sirius and James began to burst with excitement at this.
"So your Nick?!?! Can we see it?" said James, jumping in his seat.
Nick hesitated before he pulled on one of ears and his head was just resting on a little piece of his neck. It looked as if the executioner had done a horrible job attempting to behead him.
"Eww!" Lynn screamed.
"Cool" said everybody else
Nick looked a little embarrassed at all the attention.
"Ah well. I best be going now."
At that he put his head back on and floated away.
"Wicked." said Remus and everybody agreed.
Soon it was time to go to there dorms. The prefects led them to the Gryffindor common room and told them the password. Then they were left in their rooms to unpack and go to bed.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
When Jessie woke up the next day, she was surprised to find herself in Hogwarts. But suddenly remembered why she was there and she quickly shrugged it off. She looked at her watch and figured it was time to get dressed.
She got up off her bed and then Emily started to stir.
"Mornin'" Emily said groggily.
"You might want to get dressed. Breakfast is in 30 minutes."
"Kay, but do you think we should wake Lynn and Lily?"
"Yeah. I'll take Lynn because she seems like a heavy sleeper. I like a challenge"
They went to their friends beds. Lily proved to be a light sleeper. Lynn wasn't.
Jessie first tried to wake her up by calling her name in her ear.
"Lynn. Oh Lynn.."
Lynn growled and turned over. When she turned, her arm stuck out and it clasped onto Jessie's neck. She was forced to be pulled head first into Lynn's pillow.
She could hear Emily and Lily giggling loudly. Then she heard a click and a flash.
Lynn woke up and saw Jessie.
Then she saw Lily with a camera in her hands.
She screamed.
"You. You took. I'm gonna kill you!"
With that she ran after Lily and her camera through the room.
Now Jessie and Emily hung back, laughing hysterically. And their insane friends
-*-*-*-
Thirty minutes later they went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They sat down next to the boys.
"What was going on this morning in your room?" asked James
"Yeah, it woke me up." Said Sirius with a mock pout.
"Not to mention it's a very hard to wake a sleeper like Sirius up. He once slept through an entire rampage of hippogriffs."
"DID NOT!!"
The entire Great Hall turned to stare at him.
"HI PEOPLES!!!!!" he yelled
The hall went back to its noise level.
The girls immediately broke down in laughter as they told of the morning to the boys. Even Lynn had to laugh when they told of how she clung to Jessie.
When the girls were done the boys looked at them. Then Sirius talked.
"Can I have a copy of the photo?"
They all broke down in laughter again. Only Sirius looked confused.
"What?"
Then the morning post came in. Jessie, Emily, and Lily thought it was awesome. Them being the only muggle-borns. Everyone else was just waiting to see if they themselves got any mail.
Lynn got a letter and package from her parents. Remus got a newspaper. At this the other boys scoffed.
"The Daily Prophet? Jeez, why don't you just get Really Boring Wizards Weekly?" said James and they all laughed.
"At least I know what's going on in the world and not just what pranks to pull next" said Remus smiling.
At this Sirius and James's grins grew wider. "Thanks for the complement" said Sirius, "It was unexpected from a boring newspaper reader."
"Hey Remus, can I borrow that?" said Jessie, pointing at his newspaper.
Sirius's grin dropped. The rest of the boys seemed that they would soon explode with laughter at him.
"Humph" said Sirius.
"Certainly, Jessie." Said Remus, with a struggled straight face.
"Thanks."
Jessie took the paper from Remus and opened it up. For all the boys except Sirius burst out laughing finally.
"Ohh! These pictures are moving. Cool!"
Sirius was the only one who could talk so he said, "Yeah. What else would they do?" and soon he was also in laughter.
Lily and Emily leaned over to look.
"Ohh!"
"Cool!"
Lynn finally brought them all back to life and said that they needed to get to class.
-*-*-*-
Their first class was Double Potions with the Slytherins. You could tell that James and Sirius were not pleased with this arrangement.
This was when they met Snape.
Sirius 'accidentally' bumped into Snape when he was passing to his seat. Snape turned and gave him a menacing look.
"Watch it Black." He snarled
"Ooh, I'm so scared." Said Sirius.
"I see you have already made some new friends." Said Snape, nodding his head towards Jessie and Lily.
"No doubt Mudbloods" he muttered under his breath.
At this all chaos broke out. Sirius and James pounced on Snape so quickly Snape didn't even see them.
"Hem, hem."
The professor walked in and saw the beat up boys. Sirius had a black eye and a split lip. James had some bruises around his face too and held his arm as if it were broken. Snape was the worst. He had massive bruises and his arm was totally broken by the way it stuck out. Parts of his clothing were ripped and were now seeping with blood.
"Dear, dear. What has happened here? 20 points each from your houses. You all best get up to the hospital wing. By the looks of it none of you can walk."
"You," she pointed at Jessie "can help this man here." She pointed at Sirius.
"You," she pointed at Lily, "can escort this young man here." She pointed at James.
Then she made a Slytherin help Snape and they were on their way off.
No one talked on the way except for Jessie mumbling a "Thanks" in Sirius ear, at which he tried to smile with his split lip. When she saw him try, Jessie smiled at him.
They all made it to the hospital wing. Madam Promfry fretted and clucked over them all in turn. Jessie and Lily waited until Sirius and James were okay before returning to Potions.
When they got there the Potions master, Professor Winiski, everybody else was partnered up and was working on their potion.
Jessie and Lily partnered up and began to work.
"Okay, so we'll need this thing. blah blah. Help me." Jessie said pleadingly to Lily
"Well, first get these ingredients from the cupboard"
Jessie did so
"Okay, um, why don't you cut this up and I'll start mixing the ingredients"
By the end of the class they had had a perfect potion.
"From now on, we partner up and you are the total boss, Lily." Jessie said in awe.
"Why?"
"Because you are smart and actually know what you're doing. Geez, you are SO smart. I know absolutely nothing compared to you"
They both laughed and from then on were best friends.
-*-*-*-
By the end the day, everybody in the whole school knew what happened down in the dungeons between Sirius, James, and Snape.
All through dinner Snape gave dirty looks to them. People were always coming up towards them and congratulating them.
"I don't see why you're getting attention." Said Lynn haughtily. "All you did was get into a fight."
"Against the world's biggest git. Just look at what he called Jessie and Lily and Emily! That's not right!" exclaimed James.
"We were doing right for our friends!" said Sirius
"Just friends?" mumbled Remus suggestively.
Everybody but Jessie and Sirius burst out laughing.
"What?!?!" they both exclaimed, as they were the farthest seated away from Remus and not let in on the joke.
"Don't worry." Lynn was able to manage.
"Sure." said Jessie skeptically
They all finished their dinner and went up to the common room. Where they all had to do their homework.
-*-*-*-
"Ugh! Homework!" said Sirius and Jessie at the exact same time as another. Everyone else broke out in laughter again. Jessie and Sirius gave surprised looks at another.
Jessie shrugged it off while Sirius was still in a state of surprise.
Jessie sighed. "Well, we better get started."
They all agreed and began to work.
-*-*-*-
"Whew! My brain is all tired out!" said Sirius finally.
"Sirius." Jessie said slowly. "IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 MINUTES!"
"I know! I've spent too much time on homework already!"
The girls all looked at Sirius in disbelief. The boys except Remus silently nodded.
"We need a break." Said James
"We still need to plan our first prank!" exclaimed Sirius.
"First prank?" asked Emily
Lynn answered for them
"We have here the two biggest pranksters I have ever had the misfortune to meet. Now they're going to recruit Peter and Remus into their mess."
"Yep!" said Sirius and James.
"Well, don't expect us to get into YOUR mess." Said Lynn
"Don't worry. We won't." said Sirius.
James bent over and whispered something into Peter and Remus's ears and they all burst out laughing.
Sirius got red in the face.
"I heard that."
Which only made them laugh even harder.
The girls gave puzzled looks at another.
"Whatever." Said Lily
The boys all hustled to their dorms, leaving the girls to finish their homework.
The girls all finished their homework in about an hour and the boys had not yet reappeared. Lynn and Emily were playing chess while Jessie watched and Lily read a book.
Emily was having a hard time getting her pieces to listen to her.
"Shut up" she muttered, aggravated. She was losing badly.
"Ha ha." Said Lynn, who was enjoying Emily's strain.
Emily gave her a dirty look and moved one of her chess pieces. Only to be taken away by Lynn's bishop. Thus making Emily even more frustrated.
"Jeez, Emily, I've never seen you like this."
"I don't like losing."
Jessie and Lynn laughed.
The boys soon came down from the staircase and were all smiling broadly.
"What's up? You look like you've just seen Snape expelled." Asked Jessie.
"You'll see. Just keep your eyes peeled tomorrow morning at breakfast." Said James mysteriously.
Remus was survying Lynn and Emily's game. He whispered something in Emily's ear and she moved one of her pieces into checkmate on Lynn.
"Ha! Checkmate!"
"Hey! No fair! You can't help her Remus!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's against the rules!"
"What rules? We didn't agree on any rules"
"Grr."
Emily smiled broadly at Lynn. Almost as big as the boys.
"Thanks Remus."
"No problem."
-*-*-*-
"Yay!"
Jessie was jumping up and down on her bed.
"C'mon, guys! Anyone want to challenge me in a pillow fight?"
"I will!" said Lily.
Lily jumped onto Jessie bed and they started to thrash their pillows at each other.
"You are so childish." Said Lynn.
"Want to join us? Lynn? Emily?" asked Lily
"I will!" cried Emily.
The pillow fight got even louder and bigger.
Then a pillow hit Lynn.
Everything stopped. Nothing moved. It was totally silent for what seemed like an eternity.
"NOW IT'S ON!" screamed Lynn.
The three girls couldn't help but laughed as they meagerly tried to defend themselves from Lynn.
Soon they were everywhere, trying to defend and fight against each other.
An hour later the fight was over and all their pillows were torn and their were feathers everywhere. All of the girls were out of breath and tired.
"Dear, dear." Said Lily. "Scourgify"
The room was magically clean and their pillows were back to normal.
"I'm tired now." Said Emily and Lynn nodded.
They went to bed but Jessie and Lily stayed up and talked. Their beds were right next to each other so they could whisper and not disturb the others. They eventually went to sleep near 2:00 am.
-*-*-*-
The next morning the girls did not see the boys in the common room.
"I wonder." muttered Jessie
They went down to the Great Hall to find the boys waiting for them there.
""What took you?! Sirius here wanted to wait for you all." said James snickered
Sirius got a bit red. "I didn't want you guys to not see it."
"Well, what is it already?!?!?" Jessie practically screamed
"Just watch." Said Remus.
The boys began to fiddle with their wands under the table.
Over by the Slytherin table there was a small pouf of smoke over Snape and his friend's head.
Snape was now wearing a fluffy pink princess gown with chubby pigs on it and matching piggy slippers. His hair turned into a crown of multicolored hair that had actually been washed. He was turning around and around on his tip toes like a ballerina.
His two friends had been made to wear crimson lady-in-waiting gowns with cows on them with matching cow slippers. Their hair was suddenly purple and tied in pigtails like Pippi Longstocking. They were forced to deeply curtsy every time Snape made circle.
The hall erupted with laughter. At the Gryffindor table the boys and girls were laughing the hardest. Except one.
"That was cruel!" said Lily.
"You have to admit, Lils, it was funny." Jessie said between laughter.
"FUNNY?!?! That was downright MEAN!!!" Lily screamed
"Well, he deserved it." Said Sirius in between laughter.
"How'd you do it?" asked a Jessie as she struggled in between laughter
"Put some potion in his drink. Works every time. Lousy git will never learn." Said James. The rest of the boys nodded their heads in agreement.
They saw that Snape and his two friends were glaring at them from across the hall. When they looked out to the teacher's table they saw McGonagall get pale and her lips tight. Dumbledore' eyes were twinkling.
McGonagall stood up.
"When we find out who did this they will be punished severely. Their punishment will be less strict if they confront us now."
The boys looked at themselves. They simultaneously nodded. They climbed on top of Gryffindor table and took gracious bows. The Hall burst out in laughter.
"POTTER, BLACK, PETTIGREW, LUPIN!!!!! DETENTION ALL WEEK AND 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!" McGonagall shrieked.
This did not stop the out pouring of laughter.
