"Jess!!!" came a strong voice in the dark abyss. Soon, small slits of light streamed into view. A small groan left the girls mouth followed by her opening her eyes fully. She looked straight at the person talking to her.

"What do you want, James?" she sat up in her bed, which was not as luxorious as her brothers. Her light brown hair fell to the small of her back. She rubbed her blue eyes, which she got from her mother, along with her eyesight, hence the reason for no glasses.

"You gotta get ready, we're going back to school today!" James was excited because he knew that he'd be able to see Remus Lupin, a friend of his since their first year, and Peter Pettigrew, who also was a close friend. His brown eyes were almost hidden behind his glasses, and his growing black hair. His sister stood up and they were about the same height, but James was growing much faster than she was now. There was a knock on the closed bedroom door, and entered a boy about the same age as the two, nearly 15, who had black hair and grey eyes.

"Ah, my favorite set of twins!" he walked over and immediately started chatting with James, but didn't really regard Jessica's existence as much as James'.

"Sirius, are you all packed?" James questioned.

"Sure am!" Sirius answered, "Going to be a hell of a year, 'innit? With Snivellus going to be there and all! I got this great new spell book when we went to Diagon Alley last week, can't wait to use some of them on him!" James sneered and laughed in agreement. Jessica was about to protest them using the spells on Severus this year until she realized that if she didn't hurry up and get ready, her parents would surely leave without her...again.

She rushed out of the room with a fresh change of clothes, and the boys showed their way out and downstairs to eat some breakfast before the long journey to school. Within five minutes Jessica was dressed and ready.

She came down the stairs with her trunk in time to catch the front door from her father, who was heading out to warm up the car. She was always quiet and her father didn't even notice her. He unlocked all the doors to the family sized van and she opened the back of the car and somehow managed to get her trunk into the car. Once more, her father didn't notice anything she was doing. When she was finished, her brother and Sirius came out rolling their trunks behind them. Her mother followed the boys, shutting and locking the front door behind her. Jessica hadn't even been able to eat any of the morning meal, not that she expected there to be any made for her.

James and Sirius left their trunks by her feet, expecting her to put them in for them, which, as the younger of the twins, she did. She then struggled more trying to get both in the car in such short time before her father ran the risk of running her over with the car. James and Sirius loaded into the middle seat of the van, away from the clutter due to the three animals in cages in the far back seat. Jessica had barely gotten into the van and shut the door when her father had started leaving the drive way.

Within 10 minutes, the group had reached Kings Cross Station. James and Sirius were given a trolley each to push their possessions threw the barrier. Jessica, on the other hand, was thankful for the wheels on the back of her trunk. She lugged her trunk into the station and held the cage holding her black cat in her left hand. Her mother and father were walking ahead of her with Sirius and James who were walking as if they were the toast of the town. Her mother was on James' left hand side and her father was on Sirius' right, so the boys were practically shoulder to shoulder.

The four of them crossed threw the barrier to the platform together, once again leaving Jessica all alone to, as usual, wallow in her own solitude. She rushed threw the barrier, and gave her things to a person she trusted, because she had a fear of losing her things to random people. She was unfortunately doing that a lot lately, trusting James with something, then having it lost forever because James either thinks it's funny to throw away her only possessions or loses it in sheer idiocracy. She soon stood next to James and watched as her mother tried to force some stray hairs down on his head. Her father, on the other hand, had his hands placed firmly on either of Sirius' shoulders and smiling at him. He finally broke the silence between the two of them and said, "You know that you are more than welcome in our home, son. Please feel free to stop by. Maybe the next time you do, it won't be for just one night!"

Her mother had hugged Sirius then James goodbye. Jessica was once again filled with a painful, fleeting hope that her mother might say goodbye to her too. It was too much to ask, even the minimal human contact that was seemingly required of a mother to give to its child when leaving on a long journey. Once more, Jessica felt and invisible knife tear threw her chest, straight to her heart. She walked towards the train, knowing that she would be one of the only ones on right now because everyone else was still saying goodbye.

She heard her mother and father embracing the boys and was suddenly, for the first time in about 4 years, felt the sting of tears in her eyes. She hopped onto the train, searching for an empty car far away from her parents. She found one in the back of the train, next to one were a boy of the same age was seated. She knew that they were the only students on the train as of right now. She knew the boy well, but didn't say anything to him, for not only was he busy with a book with the topic of the Dark Arts, which never bothered her, but she was also battling tears for the first time in so long. She opened the car door, and sat and basked in the vacancy. Sometimes, she will agree, it is good to get away from her loveable, yet loud-mouthed and obnixous brother.
