So for those of you who are just joining me and haven't read Hogwarts A Different Perspective you may want to do so first as this is the Sequel to that. For those of you who haven't read my story but would like to start off on this I will give you a quick introduction:
Jackie Lupin Black is my original character she is Sirius daughter but was brought up by Remus after Sirius went away to Azkaban for the Murders of Lily, James and Peter Pettigrew. Jackie is a few months younger than the twins and they met on the way to Hogswarts in 1989 and have been best friends ever since. Jackie and George have been a couple pretty much solidly since Christmas of their second year.
Jessica Laurent is another of my original characters and grew up in France best friends with Fleur and studying at Beuxbatons. She has been dating Fred since the Yule Ball.
The story as Hogwarts A Different Perspective did with the first five books, will follow the timeline of the sixth and seventh books/films but will be based from Jackie/Jessica and the twins point of view.
This story will not be as long as its predecessor but it is going to also contain a follow up story as I have always planned for this to be a three part tale.
I hope that you all enjoy it. :)
Chapter 1.
"There you both are I was going to send a search party" Sirius joked as he saw them coming downstairs. Jackie and Remus both laughed as they looked at him.
"I wonder if they have passed yet" Jackie said absentmindedly as she thought to herself about the twins.
"I'm sure they will and they won't stop I'm sure once they can" Sirius laughed.
"Yes and make sure you behave once you get there" Remus warned her.
"Yes no getting up to mischief!" Sirius exclaimed Jackie nearly choked.
"That coming from you a Marauder!" Jackie exclaimed looking at him and laughing.
"I didn't mean it like that I meant" Sirius began "Well I meant that I know what teenage wizards can be like especially now they are of age!" he warned her.
"Dad I am perfectly capable of choosing what I want to do myself you know" Jackie said as she rolled her eyes.
"Yes Jackie but you aren't of age yet remember that!" Remus warned her this time as he looked at her Sirius.
"Dad please I do not need to hear you both giving me a sex talk" Jackie shuddered.
"Oh we can do that you see you was born after the stalk decided to deliver a baby to my house of course I was completely innocent" Sirius started Jackie rolled her eyes as Remus had burst out laughing.
"Serious both of you don't start!" She spoke seriously but couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the pair of them.
Jackie opened her eyes and finally managed a smile as she remembered that very day just over a year ago it was amazing how everything had changed since then. It was the first time she had actually laughed since it happened. She was about to get up and make her way back to the Burrow when she saw Jessica coming towards her. Both girls were currently staying at the Burrow Jessica had moved over from France and taken on an internship at St Mungos where she was learning to become a Healer. Jackie on the other hand had spent her time between there and her old home with Remus unable to find it in herself to return to Grimmauld Place. Although it had been left to both her and Harry she knew that she would never be able to live there again the memories to haunting for her.
"Everything ok?" Jessica's soft voice finally interrupted her from her thoughts.
"Just remembering I really miss him you know" Jackie sighed.
"I know it will take time but it will get better" Jessica told her as she smiled up at her. "Are you ready to head back, Fred and George should be back soon and I think Molly wants some help"
"Sure" Jackie said as she climbed to her feet and followed the Veela back towards the Burrow.
"Jackie dear how are you feeling?" Molly asked the young girl as they made it back into the house.
"I'll be ok" Jackie answered her honestly she knew that although it would take time she still had so many people that loved her everything would be ok. She knew that Sirius wouldn't of wanted her to be upset.
Molly looked at the girl that she already considered a daughter and walked towards her wrapping her arms around her in a motherly hug. Jackie hugged her back it was something that she needed and she was grateful that she had this woman in her life. Jackie heard the flames in the fire rouse and the light flickered in the room Jackie looked up to see her boyfriend and his twin arriving home.
"Everything ok?" George mouthed to her Jackie nodded and moved over to her boyfriend, he wrapped his arms around her.
"Is everything ready at the shop I think I will definitely have to come and see it before it opens at the weekend" Jackie said. She hadn't yet been over while they had been getting everything ready due to everything that was going on.
"Yeah just need to put one or two finishing touches on it then it will be done and ready for us to open on Saturday.
"You and Jessica should come and look at it now plus we want to talk to you both" George said as he kissed his girlfriend and looked down into her eyes as he towered over her. His 6ft3 frame towering over her 5ft4 frame.
"I'd love too wouldn't you Jessica" Jackie smiled as she looked over towards Fred and Jessica.
"But don't you need help Mrs Weasley?" Jessica asked the woman.
"You two should go ahead I'll be fine just give Ginny a call" Molly said as she smiled at them before Jackie or Jessica could go to get the young witch. Fred and George were shouting upstairs for her.
"GINEVRA!" They shouted together.
"WHAT AND DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Ginny shouted back as she appeared on the landing outside her room and peered down. The twins laughed until she glared at them Fred and George quickly stopped fearing the very idea of being on the receiving end of one of her Bat Bogey Hexes.
"Mum needs your help." The twins told her before quickly taking their girlfriends by the hands and making their way back to the Floo so that they could arrive back at the shop.
Jackie looked around taking in the new surroundings she looked over at the twins this didn't look like a shop but instead she was facing a sofa some chairs and a small kitchen she could see a few doors shut back against the wall and it hit her that this was in fact a flat.
"George this isn't a shop this is a flat?" she said confused as she turned to face her boyfriend.
"Correct this is ours now the shops downstairs this is what we wanted to talk to you two about" George told her. The girls looked at one another small smiles creeping across their faces as they looked at one another.
"We want the two of you to move in if you will put up with us" Fred said as he looked at his girlfriend his hand holding her own loosely as he smiled at her.
"Of course" Jessica said excitedly her French accent highlighted in excitement as she flung her arms around his neck.
"Jackie?" George asked her as she stayed silent as he looked at his girlfriend who was lost for words. Jackie simply nodded slowly as she looked back at him.
"Just going to go and talk to Jackie Fred" George told his twin as he led her into his bedroom. "What is it if you don't want to move in you don't have to?"
"It's not that I really would love to" Jackie answered him "But it's just my dad you know after everything I don't know if he will be ok on his own"
"Well we can ask tonight that way you will know. But I happen to know that while you were still at school your dad was getting very close to a certain woman" he told her with a wink.
"Dad was?" Jackie choked out "Who?"
"Tonks" George smiled at her.
"Oh I'd love it if he finally settled down I wonder why he hasn't said anything to me" Jackie smiled at once more she looked up at her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around him. "Yes ill move in with you George"
"So you've gone for just one double bed and not two singles?" she asked him a faint smile on his lips.
"That's because I won't be sharing with Fred" he winked at her "If it's ok with you and Jessica of course" he hesitated hoping she'd give him the answer he had hoped for after all they hadn't shared a bed since his final evening at Hogswarts.
"Not going to say no am I" she laughed softly as she leaned over and kissed him briefly before standing up and pulling her boyfriend with her. "Come on I want to see the shop"
"Oi enough of that Jackie wants to see the shop!" George exclaimed as he and Jackie walked out of his room to find Fred locked in a passionate clinch with his girlfriend. Fred and Jessica only moaned against each other and Fred pulled his girlfriend closer.
"Oi!" George exclaimed and with a flick of his wand enchanted a water bomb at the back of his brother's head.
"Oi what was that for!" Fred exclaimed as he pulled apart from Jessica who gasped looking down at her dripping outfit.
"You looked like you needed a cold shower" he laughed and before his twin could retaliate George had grabbed his girlfriend's hand and ran from the room heading down the steps and into the shop.
Jackie and Jessica gasped as they stepped into the shop although it was not finished yet it still looked amazing. Jackie could see thousands of products on display products that she hadn't even seen before and she was looking forward to see everything working at the opening that weekend. The whole place was Fred and George down to every last detail but even then she was amazed at how much they had managed to do with the place.
"You guys are amazing seriously some of the charms you must have done!" Jackie exclaimed as she started to walk around the place.
"What did you expect Jackie this is us" Fred grinned back at her.
"You two are so modest" Jessica giggled at her boyfriend as she looked over at him proudly.
On arrival at the Burrow again shortly Jackie was greeted by Remus pulling his daughter into a bear hug, similar to those that Molly always would give the type that although you loved them you found yourself struggling to breathe. Jackie hugged him back tightly before she looked up at him and led him outside so that they were away from the others.
"Are you ok?" both Jackie and Remus asked each other at the same time.
"I miss him dad but I'll be ok" Jackie answered him as she leaned against him and rested her head against his chest.
"I know sweetheart I miss him too but we will get through this together" Remus spoke as he stroked her hair.
As her and Remus walked back inside Jackie walked over to Fred, George and Jessica and whispered to them quietly.
"So when do you think we should tell them" she whispered.
"After we've eaten don't want mum stopping us having any food do we" Fred smirked at her.
"Is that all you Weasley men ever think about" Jackie rolled her eyes at him as she looked over towards the kitchen as Molly prepared everything for Dinner. It spelled delicious.
"So how's everything with the shop?" Remus asked the twins after he finished his slice of Apple Crumble in which Molly had baked. Jackie gulped a little.
"Brilliant" George answered him. "In fact we needed to speak to you all about that"
"We are moving in to the flat upstairs" the twins announced together.
"WHAT!" Molly gasped her fingers jumping up to her mouth.
"Congratulations boy's you are doing so well for yourselves" Arthur spoke as he smiled at them knowing that his wife would currently be in to much of a dither about her babies flying the nest than anything else.
"What will you do for food, or with your washing whose going to do all of that you need your mother" she was blurting out between strangled cries.
"Molly dear" Arthur said putting his hand on her shoulder.
"We will be fine mum" George told her as he smiled at her.
"Besides we've got Jessica and Jackie to do the washing and the cooking" Fred exclaimed.
"Fred" Jessica scolded her boyfriend jokingly Jackie looked mortified as she starred at Remus who had started to choke in shock only to be patted on the back by Tonks who was trying not to laugh.
"You can't move in together where will you sleep!" Molly gasped
"Where do you think" Fred found himself laughing as he grinned at his mum but soon regretted it as he looked at her.
"Absolutely not!" Molly gasped.
"Jackie you can not share with George no way!" Remus told her.
"Dad please I really want to move in with him plus it will mean that when I get a job I'll be closer to work and also me and Jessica will share a room please" Jackie begged looking at him with her blue puppy dog eyes. Remus smiled reluctantly as he starred down at the replica of his bestfriend's eyes as he looked down at the girl who had grown up as his own daughter.
"Fine but you will share with Jessica" Remus warned as he looked at George warningly.
"Of course" George said as he smiled at Remus.
The rest of the evening Jackie looked on smiling as she watched her dad talking with Tonks, Molly and Arthur. Although she still missed Sirius and always would she knew that he would want her to be happy and she was. She was surrounded by people that she loved and loved her in return. She was interrupted from her thoughts when she heard Tonks suddenly scream out as she looked angrily at her father.
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT CALLING ME NYMPADORA!" she screeched her face bright red and her hair turning from her favourite Bubble-gum Pink to Purple.
"Relax" Remus chuckled as he looked at her and smiled. Tonks glared at him before sitting back down Jackie turned to George smiling.
"I think you are right they do like each other" Jackie smiled at him.
