I do not own Harry Potter

introdution:

"I didnt know."

Those were the famous words of a minority called Jerry Cole. Her brown eyes would stare up to look into the face of the person, scared. Face paler than usual, making her eyes stand out. Jerry's hair was dark, short, curled, scruffy for a girl. Not only did her name seem un-fenemine, it seemed to suit her to a point. Standing at 5 ft, made her be mistaken for a small first or second year student. Her actual age was 16. The same years as her dear friend Severus Snape.

Jerry, being a minority to the events at hogwarts, was also a minortiy to the famous Marauders. Making her feel even smaller than she was. Her confidence would lower, every time someone mention that Sirius Black had asked them out. That small glance of confidence in her would be smothered. She was considered 'one of the guys' from Severus, who would smack her for her stupidity of being so being low self-esteemed.

Being a Hufflepuff wasnt fun for her, when she was one of the quietest, and shyist from the bunch. Severus had sucked her out of her shell , very much like a person eating snails in france, by being her Potions partner. With the high marks they kept getting Snape had finally desided it was time to talk to the Puffer. Shocked by how she actual knew almost anyone by face, and anything by book. He took the time to consider what she thought and said, even if she was a Huffelpuff. Jerry, indeedly, was happy that she made friends with the quiet and abused Serverus Snape in her 3rd year.

Chapter 1: bubbles

Today, Jerry sat by her companion by the lake.

"Such a fine day isnt it." Jerry quietly jeered towards her closest freind, who was surely was reading for his OWLS. His long nose looked up from what he we reading. nodding his greasy head, he silently agreed. He got up, with a sigh "I got to go. OWLS studie and all." he said, with a tongue of tiredness. Jerry nodded, and smiled. "have a good day Severus." she called to him as he walked away with a flow of his cape. Jerry looked back at the scenery, to relaxe her minds of the horribel test she must face later that day.

'All right Snivellus?'

A boy, James Potter to be exact, called out loudly. Jerry hair twirly around as she looked to see if her friend wasnt going to be hurt. By the years she spent with Serverus, she found out he, directly, was one of the Marauders favorite play toys. A jolt came through her, as Severus drop his bag, and pulled his wand out quickly as he could. James must of been quicker from her view, because Severus wand flew twelve feet in the air, landed near by.

Jerry tensed up, anger filled her. The barking of the playboy, Sirius Black, ringed in her ears.

James casted the 'Impedimenta' faster than she could think, flinging her only friend back towards his wands. Crowds were surrounded the incident. Sirius had joined James in Severus tanting,

'How'd the exam go, Snivelly?' said James.

'I was watching him, his nose was touching the parchment,' said Sirius viciously. 'There'll be great grease marks all over it, they won't be able to read a word.'

Jerry couldnt stand it anymore. Her heart went right to her throat, clenching her left hand on the leather straps of her messenger bag, she waited for the her chance. Her right hand shakenly clenched her wand, waiting. How many days would she have to put up with the marauder duo, Black and Potter.

'You - wait,' Snape panted out, james looked up with a sneer of pure hatred 'you - wait!'

'Wait for what?' said Sirius coolly. People cheering even louder now. 'What're you going to do, Snivelly, wipe your nose on us?'

Jerry had heard Snape curse and hex those boys all the time. Ranting to her, but this time, he said it towards them. James smirked towards his partner in crime. 'Wash out your mouth,' said James coldly. 'Scourgify!' Pink bubbles formed in Severus mouth, making him choke. Jerry pushed throuhg the crowd. not wanting to see her friend being treated like this. Her wand was posed, and the Finite Incantatem uttered from her mouth to stop Severus's suffering.

James and Sirius stop there fits of laughter. to look towards the shrimpy girl. Jerry leg shaked, and she help her wand up. "STOP IT!" She shouted. all her anger built up in her even more. Sirius smirked, "Looks like Snivellus has a girlfriend." he mocked, "Come to save him?" James smirked along side his blue eyed companion. Snape wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Jerry dont!" he demanded.

"Expelliarmus!" With enough courage, she wiped her wand to dis-arm James with his wand. James looked at the small girl in, shock, and then in rage. "Your little brat!" Sirius posed his wand out towards Jerry, and then lowered it. "It's not worth it Prongs. Just a stupid little 1 yr that doesnt know his place." he barked out, with a jackel laugh. Severus got up taking his bag, rushing for the scene of the crime. James grab his wand, and did what Sirius done.

Jerry throat became very dry at the time. Her friend had just abandoned her, in the mitse of saving his ass, and she was facing two very, very, powerful (to her it seemed) guys. Taking a breathe in, she focus on all the spells she learned, all the books she read, all the time left alone in the library.

"Guys, Jerry isnt a threat. Please stop it." A calmer voice, called behind them. the two looked behind, wth a calmer expression. Remus lupin had stood up, closing his book. "You two better stop picking on other students. Or i may just have to report you." Lupin said, again calmly. he wouldnt, jerry knew that. He was the prefect friend a person could ask for. Sirius nodded, "Run to your pumpkin juice shorty." he laughed out walking back to the tree the three were sitting at. james huffed, messing with his hair "just have to get him another day, dont we padfoot." "Totally, Prongs." sirius agreed

Jerry, cofused, stuffed her wand in her pocket. Remus Lupin, was one of the few people who talked to her. They had Ancient Runes togather, and questions and answers were always exchanged. Nothing more, or anything less. Why would he even consider her nothing of a threat. anger boiled up in the small girl, and then frustration. Taking all that emotions, that had built up inside her, itno the castle.
