Chapter One
Janelle Wilson was your average teenage girl. Well, as close as you can come to being average. You see, Janelle was a witch, and not just any witch she was the granddaughter of the most famous wizard ever. That's right. Her grandfather is Albus Dumbledore, the only wizard to ever have been feared by Voldemort. No one knows this though because if this information was to get out somehow Voldemort could use this to his advantage.
As soon as Albus' daughter got out of school and the rumour that Voldemort was out and about, Dumbledore made his daughter move away from the wizarding world and to Canada. While in Canada she met a muggle man who was mischievous and always getting into trouble. They soon got married and had two wonderful children a boy named Jason and 3 years later a girl named Janelle. However, they kept their contact with Dumbledore and their wizarding friends by joining the order of the phoenix while Voldemort was at large. The two children were brought up to know both their wizarding and muggle roots. There was something special about Janelle, her powers came to her at a young age, and they were very powerful. When Dumbledore found out about this he spent a lot of time with Janelle to help her control her powers. At the age of 14 she started having strange dreams and soon found out she was a special type of seer.
As time went on Jason and Janelle grew up and went to a Canadian wizarding school, and Janelle grew up into a beautiful young lady. She had very long dirty blonde hair which was always messy in a carefree way, she had pale skin which glowed in the light and she had a beautiful face with sandy freckles splashed everywhere. The thing that stood out most was her sparkling blue eyes that could pierce through anyone, she had the same eyes as her grandfather. When you looked in them you could see her nobleness and maturity beyond her years. Although she was a mature girl who knew things that were well above her age, she also knew how to get into trouble, and she could be a handful for her parents. She was smart, loyal, trustworthy, brave and very wise. But her downfall was that she couldn't make decisions and she was always following her heart instead of her brain. Her heart was too big and she would do anything for anyone.
The summer before she was going to enter her sixth year, she went to spend a week with Dumbledore. When she arrived she felt that there was something bothering her grandfather. She soon found out that he was worried about the young boy named Harry Potter, because he felt that Voldemort would soon return. Janelle was worried and told her grandfather that she would stay in England and go to Hogwarts and look out for Harry and help him with whatever he needed. Dumbledore trusted Janelle with all his heart and knew she could do it because every time he looked in her eyes he could see himself, which also scared. He soon agreed and Janelle found herself preparing to enter Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and this is where the story beings.
September 1st - Hogwarts
It was dark out and every time she tried to see what was around her, her dark blonde hair would whip her in the face. She turned and saw a young handsome boy dressed in canary yellow and black he looked at her, but couldn't see her. His face was blurry and she couldn't make-out who he was. She felt nervous and her heart was beating out of her chest. Where was she? There was a bright flash and now she was in a graveyard there was a fat man with a knife he was saying something she couldn't make out. He then looked straight at her, and looked past a form in a chair, the chair spun around, all she wanted to know was who was in the chair! Bang!
Janelle woke up in a tangled mess on the floor, her pyjama top was completely soaked with sweat and she tried to get her heart to beat at its normal rate again. Why did she keep having strange dreams like this? She slowly opened her eyes and started to feel nervous. This wasn't her room, and then after the sleepiness wore off she realized that she was at Hogwarts and today was her first day of school. She groggily looked over at her watch and noticed that it was 4:13 P.M. She slowly pulled herself out of bed and fumbled for some clothes. She quickly realized that her grandfather wanted to have a meeting with her before the students arrived. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt and ran up to his office.
She ran up past the gargoyles and knocked on his office door. She heard his kind voice say, "Come in." So she slowly opened the door and when she saw her grandfather sitting at his desk her creamy face broke out in a large smile revealing all of her perfectly straight teeth. He looked at her, but didn't smile. Her own smile soon faded as she noticed this.
"Please my dear," said Dumbledore kindly pointing at a chair. "Have a seat; we have some important matters to discuss."
She knew he could tell there was something wrong, she had been having weird dreams, and sometimes they even came true. She wasn't stupid she knew she could tell the future in her dreams, but she didn't want her grandfather to worry about her dreams because she could handle it by herself. So she sauntered over and sprawled out in the chair.
"Jay. I know you've been having dreams again. I need you to tell me when something important happens." he said staring at her.
"Yes Grandpa. I understand, this dream was a little different though. I believe that it's Voldemort and I think he's back." she said fiddling with her tangled hair and avoiding his gaze.
"Ah." he said now as though he was thinking. "This is what I expected. I will not make you talk about it at this moment, but when you have another dream like this I need to know about it." he said, his old wrinkled face now breaking out into the first smile of the day. "Now onto happier news! It's your first day of Hogwarts and I just wanted to go over a few things with you. First you can tell no one that you are my granddaughter. Second you will be sorted with the first years today, so Minerva will call you into the hall and you will be sorted into a house. Finally the students will be arriving in about two hours, so your uniform will be located in your dorm. You will have an hour to get ready and get to Minerva's office. Now off you go." he said with a grin.
"Alright Grandpa, I'll see you at dinner. Try not to think too much today, you look tired." she said with a nervous smile as she got up leave.
"Oh, and Jay." He said using her nickname. "Remember. You are a very special and wise girl, and I don't know if there's anyone that I trust more than you. You and Harry will get along fine. Have a good first day of school. I love you dear."
Janelle looked at him intently. Her grandfather had a lot of faith in her and she understood that she has to look out for Harry, so she smiled at him and replied " I love you too Grandpa." and with that she quickly ran up to her dorm, she wasn't the quickest person alive and she had to get ready in 45 minutes.
When she got to her dorm she showered in a hurry then noticed a crisp uniform lying on her bed so she put it on and looked herself up and down in front of the mirror. 'Hmm, not bad' she said to herself with a smile. She then took out her wand and pointed it at her hair to dry it. Within a second it was completely dried and wavy. She then put on a little bit of make-up to accentuate her eyes. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was 6:30 P.M.
"Shit! I'm late." she cursed out loud. 'Leave it to me to be late on my first day.' she said as she ran down the stairs as fast as she could without tripping over her own feet. When she reached the top of the stairs before you get to the great hall she noticed that all the students were filing into the Hall so she waited at the top so no one could see her, then when she thought everyone was gone into the hall she took off down the stairs mumbling to herself "Good going Wilson, your grandfather gives you three rules to follow and you can't even get those strai..!" and with that she felt like she hit a wall and was thrown to the ground. She heard swearing and laughing she looked up and noticed two identical boys one on the floor holding his head the other standing over him laughing.
"Oh my god" said Janelle a little embarrassed, but with a hint of laughter in her voice. "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!"
Both twins then looked at her with interest and a hint of mischievousness in their eyes. "Ah. That's okay love." said the one with more freckles, as he got to his feet. "I've never seen you around are you new here," he asked
"Well if that was any of your business I'd answer you." she said smiling. "But since I'm in a good mood I suppose I could tell you. Yes I am new here, just moved."
The twins looked at her rather impressed. They then looked at each other and a grin broke out across both of their faces. "Wow. I'm impressed." said the one with longer red hair.
"Glad to hear." said Janelle happy to see that the pair of them could take a joke. She then looked them over. They were both tall and lean she was 5"8 and they were at least 5 inches taller than her. They had really cute faces with freckles plastered over their faces. They were both pretty good looking. And hey! They both had fiery red hair which was a plus she thought because she's always had a thing for red heads.
"Here let me introduce myself," said one of them. "My names George. George Weasley. And this bloke here that's drooling is my less attractive brother Fred." he said smiling and holding out his hand.
"Ah. My dear brother, I think you are sadly mistaken, because anyone can clearly see that I am the better looking of the two of us" he said grabbing her hand and kissing it. "Enchante, ma chere." he said with an incredibly fake French accent that made her laugh.
"Well boys, I better be off. Nice meeting you though Gred and Forge." she said sticking her tongue out at them and heading off in the other direction.
"Hey!" hollered George. "We never got your name."
"Oh." Janelle hollered back. "So you didn't." and with that she rounded the corner where Minerva was waiting for her with a group of midgets. This kind of made her jump, and then she laughed to herself a little because she realized they weren't midgets, but first years.
"Ah. Miss Wilson. Nice of you to show up." said Minerva with a disappointed look on her face.
"Sorry Miner… I mean professor Mcgonagall." she replied. "I had some important business to take care of, you know how it is, as you are also an important person." she said trying not to smile, but getting a few chuckles out of the first years.
"Yes. Yes Missy, just get at the end of the line and follow the rest of them, we are already late as it is." she said as she started to march into the great hall.
Janelle felt dumb following a bunch of kids who came up to her bellybutton into a hall filled with students, but she sucked it up and looked around at all the confused faces and whispers. Then she noticed the twins, who were waving at her, then Fred winked at her slyly and she just rolled her eyes and kept going. The sorting hat sang its song then all the first years were sorted. Then Dumbledore stood up. "All of our first years are sorted, but we have a new transfer student arriving from Canada. Her name is Janelle Wilson and she is entering her sixth year."
This was her queue to walk up and sit on the stool. Then the hat was placed gently on her head. "Ahhh." it said, "I was wondering if I'd ever get the chance to sort you. You have a great mind my dear, with lots of power. But where that great power lies, there is also the striving hunger to become more and more powerful, and you have to ability to become something great. But, no I see a better future for you some place else, because you are bold, and brave beyond great measures…. Hmm. …GRYFFINDOR"
One long table burst out in applause and this just so happened to be the table that included the twins who were both cheering manically and cat calling. She hopped off the chair and sat at the end of the table. "Let the feast begin" yelled Dumbledore, and a bunch of food appeared. Janelle thought that she better get looking for Harry, but just as she looked up the twins were on both sides of her sitting her back down.
"So, its Janelle is it?" Said Fred grinning.
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl." said George. "I think us three will become great friends this year, because you're just as bad as we are." he said grinning at his brother as they gave each other high fives.
Janelle couldn't help but smile, she loved to get into trouble as much as the next person, but she did have a person to look out for. "This is going to be a long and interesting year' she thought to herself as she broke out in a lengthy conversation with the twins.
As Janelle sat at the long wooden table between Fred and George she kept eyeing any dark haired boy. 'What am I going to say to him when I do meet him…' she thought.
"OI, Wilson?" George said interrupting her thoughts. "I wanna introduce you to our friends and fellow Gryffindors."
Janelle couldn't help but smile at their kindness although meeting new people weren't on the top of her list at the moment. "This is Angeli.." Fred started, but a tall beautiful girl with cornrows interrupted him "Angeline Johnson" she finished for him smiling and grabbing Jays hand in a firm handshake.
"Nice to meet you, I don't think the Weasley's know that we can talk for ourselves" she finished glaring at the two boys who looked away sheepishly.
"Awe Ange babe" said George grabbing her hand, "You're so sweet love".
Angelina then looked at Jay and said "You sure you wanna be hanging around with these bloody morons".
"Hahah, I think I can handle it!" Said Jay still trying to find a certain mister Potter.
"Hello Janelle, my name is Alicia, Ange and I will be sharing a dorm room with you!" said a shorter girl with a dark complexion and a soft motherly voice.
"..and I'm Katie! I'm a year younger than you, but ange, lichey and I are best friends!" finished off a tall blonde. She was beautiful with a tan, lean figure.
The three girls were all very friendly. "It's nice meeting you all, you can call me Jay if you'd like, I'm not a huge fan of Janelle." Jay replied, trying to return the warmness to the girls.
"Jay... awesome!" said Katie, "I'm sure you're going to fit right in with us! I will give the twins credit, they have good taste in people."
"Enough of this boring girl chatter ma' dears!" cut in Fred with an impish grin on his face. "Jay, tell us more about you, you're from Canada, any interesting people in your life? Boyfriends perhaps?" he said with a wink.
"Aren't you charming" said jay with a roll of her eyes. "I'm 16, turning 17. I have a very overprotective older brother, huge bloke really. Might tear any boys heads off that may flirt with me, just a warning boys. I read a lot of muggle books. I'm in love with quidditch, I played chaser on the national junior team. There are no guys in my life, because quite frankly, a lot of them are bloody idiots, and no I'm not looking." Jay finished with a sickly sweet smile aimed for Fred. "I think that sums up myself, now if you'll excuse me, I need to use the loo", and with that Jay got up from the table and sauntered off with a small smirk on her face.
"That's my kind of woman." Said Fred to his brother and he watched her walk away, and the girls giggled.
"I would say you've met your match Freddy-boy." said Katie with a smile on her face eyeing the girls.
As Jay returned from the bathroom she waited by the entrance of the hall and took everything in. There was a light buzz of chatter and excitement as old friends re-united after a long summer break. This was truly the first time she missed home. This was familiar for everyone but her, she took a deep breath and walked back into the hallway preparing herself to go back in and have question after question asked to her. 'this is going to be harder than I thought' said Jay to herself as she leaned against the cold stone wall and let herself slide down it till her bottom met the cold floor.
She felt lonely already… she was supposed to be in Canada being re-united with her friends at this moment, not in England trying to fight something that was way bigger than her and what she could handle. 'Ugh' Jay thought, 'this is more important than you jay, come on shake it off, don't be selfish.' She then shook her head and jumped off the floor and directly into someone's hard chest.
Jay landed hard on her butt. "ouch!" she said as she started to pull herself off the floor and rub her behind "seriously, twice in one day?" she started to grumble to herself until she heard a small chuckle from the brick wall/person she had just hit.
"Here, I'm so sorry, can I help you up miss?" said the boy who had held out a hand to help her off the floor.
However, Jay was in one of her grumbling moods and was focused on the pain in her buttock instead of the charming young man in front of her until she saw his long lean arm reach out for hers. That's when she looked up into a gorgeous pair of green eyes and a charming welcoming smile.
"ohh..uhh.. yeah, no I mean, I'm okay!" Jay managed to mumble out, mentally slapping herself and starting to blush.
"hahah, I was just passing by the back of the hall there and happened to see someone sitting out here… you okay?" asked the young handsome man.
"I'm fine!" Jay blurted out still feeling awkward around this good looking guy, but he gave her a doubtful look. "Well, I was just feeling a little over whelmed in there, I mean there are a lot of people in there. They all know each other and I'm just sort of… the odd one out, yah know?"
"No, I understand completely. It must be rough going to a new school, especially when you're older." He said with a comforting smile as he reached his hand out again to grab hers, "here, let me walk you back into your table."
Jay grabbed his warm hand "thanks". She said as she blushed at his touch. 'wow' she thought, 'he must be something special to make me feel like a little speechless girl.'
"So you missed a pretty interesting speech by Dumbledore." said the young man as they started walking. "said their was going to be a tri-wizard cup here at Hogwarts this year! Of course you have to be 18 to enter, Fred and George were pretty disappointed in that." He said with a chuckle, "Saw you met those two, they're pretty interesting, mind you, I'm a prefect and If I catch you pulling any pranks with them, I can put you in detention" He said with a wink and a chuckle.
"Hmm, is that a challenge?" asked Jay with a huge grin, "you do know I love a challenge". Jay then noticed they were standing by her seat between Fred and George, little did she know they both had stopped mid conversation to stare at the pair talking before them, and all three girls were staring with their mouths open in disbelief.
"Hahah, just be careful Miss Wilson, here's your table, it was nice meeting you, I'll talk to you later!" he said with smile and a small wave, looking embarrassed that five gryffindors were all gaping at him.
"Uhh hey guys?" said Jay as she squeezed in between the twins. "Is something wrong?" she asked giving them all a quizzical look.
"Do you have any idea who that was!" asked Angelina in shock.
"Can't say that I do" said Jay trying to wave it off "hey Gred, mind passing me a roll buddy ol' pal?" she said with a grin.
"What do you mean you don't know! That, Jay, is Cedric Diggory! He is the best looking, most popular boy at Hogwarts!" said Katie in awe, watching his retreating form.
"Oh, that's interesting" said Jay pretending not to be interested and buttering a roll.
"What did that blockhead want?" asked Fred. "He's not that bright you know, he is a hufflepuff"
"Oh come off it Forge, he bumped into me in the hall, that's it, and walked me to my table, no big deal, now can we change the subject, pleeeeaaseee? Tell me about this upcoming tournament" she said with a sweet smile, although Dumbledore and herself had discussed the whole tournament a week before this.
She slowly looked around at her new friends who began to chatter animatedly about the upcoming tournament. She started to feel more comfortable and had a nice warm feeling in her heart. She looked from Angelina to George and somewhat at home. 'Maybe this wont be so bad after all' thought Jay to herself, 'now to find Harry'. And with that she settled in to the conversation herself.
Later that night in the common room Jay had found a nice couch by a warm fire as she saw students entering the common room and heading to their dorms, Angelina has chosen the seat next to her.
"Alright Jay, so tomorrow is your first day of classes, they hand out timetables in the morning. Just stick with us and you'll have no troubles at all!" said Angelina. "Oh, and watch out for slytherins, they aren't the most friendliest people"
"Thanks a lot Ange, I was worried I wasn't going to make friends here, but I'm glad you lot are all so friendly" said Jay a little shyly.
"No it's no problem! You seem really nice and you act a lot like us, we're going to get along just fine!" said Angelina with a smile on her face. "I'm going up to bed though, just come up whenever you're ready!"
"Thanks, night Ange!" said Jay as she watched the tall athletic girl bound up the stairs.
Jay started to pretend to read one of her books as she glared over the top watching student after student come into the room and grab seats. She heard whispers about her coming from several younger students, a few rumours, she even heard one group of younger boys she thought whos names were Seamus and Dean come up behind her trying to get her attention to strike up a conversation, but she just wasn't interested and stayed focused on finding that lightning scar.
As if on cue, a red head who closely resembled the twins, a petit brown haired girl and Harry Potter entered the common room laughing amongst themselves, by this time the common room was pretty much empty besides Fred and George who were in a corner quietly discussing something.
The trio sat on the couch facing Jay as they laughed and enjoyed each other's company, Jay felt a sudden pang of jealousy picturing herself with her friends from home.
After a few minutes the brown haired girl said she was going up to bed to prepare for the next day. Jay could tell she was a keen girl the way her uniform was perfectly pressed. She watched as the red head kept glancing up at her, and each time she caught him he would quickly look away, ears bright red. Jay sat nervously waiting for the right time to talk to Harry, every time she opened her mouth he gave her a quick glance, but she would quickly shut it again pretending like she was yawning. 'Great' thought Jay 'He's going to think I'm socially awkward, just do it Jay, start talking, you can do it' Jay kept telling herself, trying to mentally prepare herself.
"Harry Potter?" she questioned him, flashing a charming pearly white smile and adding extra enthusiasm she usually never had. Harry looked at the older, pretty girl sitting across from him and nervously smiled too.
"Yes. That's me" He replied in a questioningly way.
Jay then stuck out her hand "I'm Jay Wilson... this may be kind of embarrassing, but I knew you when you were in diapers" she said with a wink, trying to flirt with him to make this less painfully awkward. You see, when Jay got shy around people, she seemed to well... flirt, she was good at it, and it made her feel more comfortable, in a weird way.
Harry and Ron both blushed at this as he grabbed her hand and shook it.
"Well... that's rather embarrassing... What do you mean?" Harry asked blushing slightly.
"Hahah" Jay laughed "I mean my parents were friends with yours, and they always used to force us to play together, don't worry I'm not mad you don't remember me, I barely remember it myself." said Jay as she got up and sat down between Ron and Harry, both boys looking very nervous that a girl was
talking to them now.
"Don't feel bad, but I don't remember anything, and no one really told me about my parents or friends, I don't know much about them." said Harry.
"Don't worry about it little buddy!" said Jay with a smile. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm kicking around, and I used to know you!" said Jay with genuine warmness.
Harry smiled at this as Ron coughed a little, "Oh, this is my friend Ron... Ron Weasley."
Jay did a double take at the red head again, he did look an awful lot like Fred and George.
"ahhh you're the twins little brother, you're much cuter than them" she said grinning at him hoping Fred and George heard this, but almost giving Ron a heart attack at the same time.
"It's getting late," said Harry, "we should be getting up to bed, but I'll see you around... Maybe we could even eat dinner together sometime..." said harry shyly with a little hesitation.
"That sounds perfect!" said Jay, "just let me know, and Harry... If you ever need anything, you can come to me, I'm always around and readily available for an old friend." She finished with a wink.
"Thanks a lot." said Harry smiling, "Night Jay."
As they headed up the staircase she hollered after them "Night boys!"
As if on cue, she saw a blur of red and felt two bodies sandwich her in the couch.
"Well, well, well Ms. Wilson, I must say that was some awfully forced flirting!" said George. "Fred and I were ashamed, we didn't think they were you're type" he said jokingly.
"Well boys, I don't think you'll ever know what my type is, and that wasn't my flirting, trust me, I can do way better than that" she finished with a melting smile aimed for Fred who she thought blushed just a little.
"Ahh it's okay Jay-bird," said Fred, "some women like the younger boys, maybe George and I are just too manly for you, right George?"
"Well said brother, well said." Replied George, "We wouldn't want Wilson falling for us anyway, once she did she'd be stuck with us"
Jay then laughed in their face, "Right guys, I think it's the other way around. Don't worry, there's enough of me to go around."
"Ahh you make my heart melt" said Fred
"Come on dear brother, we need to head to bed! Pranks wont happen if we aren't on our A game!" said George as he jumped off the couch and bounded up the stairs, turning at the top and hollering down. "And by the way young one, we are so cuter than Ron!"
"Looks like I'm not getting a good night from him" said Jay as she laughed and Fred helped her off the couch.
"What can I say, he loves his sleep" said Fred laughing. Jay noticed Fred was standing awkwardly as if he was waiting for something.
"Well, Night Fred, I won't admit this in front of both of you, but I'm glad I bumped into you" Jay said with a smile.
"Back at yah Miss" said Fred with a smile, he bent down and hugged her. "This year will be a good one, don't worry, if you miss your friends you still have George and I" he said in a serious tone.
Jay looked at him intently, this was the first time she heard his serious voice.
"Thanks Fred, I really appreciate it." And with that she started up the stairs.
"Good night m'lady" said Fred in a fake accent, back to his silly self.
"Good night Fred, don't let the bed bugs bite" she said with a smile as she thought to herself ignoring the small amount of butterflies that were fluttering away in her tummy.
