A/N: Wow, A new story! Well, this one will be A LOT slower than the other one which I'm gaining the ending on for "Reality Mix-up" {Calm down fans, there will be another one}. Firstly, you must read this story under "Feenix Child" called "The Other side of Hogwarts" She's in my favorites.

This story is "based" on a true story. Please read the first one before reading mine. It's just my point of view from the story. Alicia is also writing her own version. So then fans can read all three points of views! Yay!

Okay, enough of my rambling. Read on!

"JESSICA JAYNE RIDDLE, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED BEFORE I HEX YOU!"

Surprisingly enough, the lump curled under the blankets with a swish of red hair poking out from the top didn't move at all. Why would you when you have exactly 5 minutes to get ready for your first class on a Monday morning? Meet Jessi.

"That's it..."

Short for her age, a young skinny dark headed girl grabbed hold of the blankets hiding Jessi and tugged them with all her strength. Seeing this coming, Jessi had already had a firm grip on the blankets and refused to let go, letting her small body fall to the wooden floor along with the blankets. The other girl giggled and looked down onto her best friend lying in a heap on the floor and nudged her softly with her foot.

Jessi ran her fingers along her face, collected her ginger coloured hair as she did and pushed it to the side of her face and blinked her blue eyes open, staring up at the girl. Groaning, she slowly got to her feet and took a brief look in the mirror at her tangled hair, loose pyjamas and tired look written on her face. She hated Mondays.

"We have 5 MINUTES! I'm NOT going to be late for you again!"

"Go without me" Jessi answered the girl, bending over her bed side drawer to grab her Slytherin Robes she was going to dress in for the day.

"Good idea" the other girl grinned, adjusting her mascara in Jessi's mirror. Jessi considered her to be quite pretty; she had the delicate type of body with the dark cunning looks. Not to mention the charm to get every boy wrapped around her little finger, a pure Slytherin.

"Nah, I'm serious, go on Razz, I'll catch up later" Jessi yawned, picking up her hair brush and running it through her mid shoulder length hair.

"Alright, I'll see you in class" Razzy replied, throwing her bag over her left shoulder before darting out of the room without another look behind her. Sighing, Jessi took her time getting changed, brushing her hair and packing her bag before she followed out after her a good fifth teen minutes later.

The day went long and slowly, as all Mondays do after all-nighter parties from Slytherin's Quidditch win on the previous weekend. Razzillian had decided spending a bit of time with Jessi's half brother, Tom. The two were currently dating which didn't bother Jessi at all, though she was more than happy for the two. Tom was as close to Jessi as a real brother and she loved him more than anything. Seeing Tom happy naturally made her happy. Jessi would never expect the two to ever hurt each other.

The afternoon strode past and Jessi was enjoying the company of her other friends that "weren't" so friendly with her best friend. Sway, an unusual girl yet bitchy from head to toe. Someone you certainly wouldn't want to be written in her bad books. Kirsty and Kristy, the famous yet almost identical twins of Slytherin. No one could ever tell them apart. Even after seven years of knowing them, Jessi still got confused with the two girls. At this time, the four of them were happily crowded around a small rounded table, bitching and gossiping about fellow students throughout Hogwarts.

"Personally..." Sway started in a serious tone of voice. "Gryffindor don't stand a chance against us this year in Quidditch. Not while we have Marcus as our captain"

Jessi rolled her eyes. Sway, officially obsessed with the Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch Team, Marcus Flint. Sure, he was attractive...charming...and everything else any other girl could every want, but the way Sway would blabber on about him sent a stab of annoyance through Jessi.

Before anyone of the twins could agree, the portrait hole flew aside revealing James and some unknown girl standing shyly behind him.

Jessi frowned slightly and tilted her head to the side to try and catch a glimpse of the girl. The other girls noticed this as well and now had their eyes set on the new comer. Obviously uncomfortable, the girl stepped to the side of James to show her appearance.

Probably as tall as herself, the girl was attractive no doubt about that. Brown curl locks of hair hung down neatly passed her shoulders and her eyes refusing to make contact with anyone in the group. Noticing the disturbed silence, James cleared his throat to introduce the girl.

"Hey, everyone, this is Beth. She's new."

New? She looked around they're age, why was she starting now? Sway automatically shot a bitchy comment in the girls way, who surprisingly responded well. Sway grinned, shook her hand and introduced her to the rest of them, nodding when she introduced Jessi. Turns out she was in seventh year, she couldn't help but ask why she would start in seventh year and not stay in her previous school.

"Why are you starting now? I mean, school started two months ago." Jessi asked politely.

"Family thing," Beth answered looking uncomfortable to discuss the subject. Jessi didn't ask anymore.

At that, Sway had continued her blabbering about the ever so delightful "Marcus Flint". A good friend of Jessi's, they'd become friends when Razzy and him were dating. As the chattering commenced in the background it pulled Jessi into deep thought about the past...

A/N: Meh, not bad for first chapter. Something different eh? Now I get to explain the past in the next chapter. Ohh, Happy happy joy joy! Review please! hearts reviews
