1. Default Chapter

A/N: 6th year and summer b4 7th! I got an Italian Dictionary so the majority of the spells/unrecognizable words are Italian. Now R/R! MD Love or Trouble (Ron's PoV) (A/N: picture Ron for the first 2 paragraphs as in one of those old black and white reporter's offices, like in the old movies.) She walked into Hogwarts and I knew I'd have trouble. restraining myself and others from loving her. The amazing thing about her was the second she stepped onto the grounds the rumors started flying. I'd heard about 50 different stories from 50 different guys, who'd claimed to have seen her, and they were all different except for the last sentences: I love her yet I'm scared of her all at the same time. Her looks are loveable, but her heart is hard everyone can love her, but she'll never love them back. When I finally saw her I knew what they meant She walked into the common room Harry, Hermione, and I were all seated on the couch discussing our last encounter of Lord Voldermort. Harry and I looked up just in time to see her. She wore a leather jacket, ripped blue jeans, a faded blue shirt with a motorcycle printed on the front, and knee length leather boots. Her eyes were a deep sea blue with a pale blue rim around them, she was skinny and as tall as me, which was saying something because I'm 6foot 2, and she was chewing gum I'm not sure what kind I wasn't paying attention to her mouth I was too busy looking at her eyes. She looked at me and smiled, that smile was what all the guys in the school would pay hundreds of galleons for. To the right of me was that big red chair that Harry sat in all the time, she sat right down and looked at me. I could feel all the common room's eyes watching me, and the new girl. "Howdy!" she said in most cheerful voice I'd ever heard, "You must be Ron Weasley. Which means," she said looking at the 2 other occupants of the couch, "That you two are Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, the three musketeers. Pleasure to meet ya'll!" "Pardon, but how do you know my name?" I asked rather shakily, I get nervous around people who I've heard rumors about, like my first meeting of the famous Harry Potter. "Oh, Professor McGonagall told me that one of ya'll would show me around, and I was hoping it'd be you, if you're available?" she said looking straight at me. "Well, before any of us show you around, I think we need to know your name, since you already know ours," said Hermione, with a thick tone of jealousy. "I'm Jessie, Jessica, Snow." "You're from Texas right? I know the accent, my Aunt lives in Texas," said Hermione jealousy still was notable in her tone. "You're smart Hermione. Yeah, I'm from Texas, El Paso to be exact. The terrain there is better for motorcycle racing and horseback riding." "You ride motorcycles!" said Harry amazed. Well, there she went, at that moment Hermione decided NEVER to talk to Jessie again and stormed up to the girl's dorm. "Well, yeah. Is that a shock?" "No, not really," Harry casually lied. "Well, back to what I asked you earlier, can you show me around?" she looked at me and smiled I melted, how could I say no? "Sure." "Great we'll start now!" she said jumping up and grabbing my hand, her thumb ring digging into my hand, but who cares I was the only guy in school with a 6 foot tall blonde on my arm! As we were walking she asked me something that grossed me out a little, " Ron, is Hermione your girlfriend?" "NO! Why would you think such a thing!" I was totally grossed out. "Well, when I was talking to you she got up and left, so I just thought-" "She got up because Harry and I seemed fascinated in you," I said truthfully. "Hermione likes Harry, doesn't she?" she asked looking at me. "Well, let me put it this way, there are only two people in the entire school who don't know that they're in love." "Who?" "Harry and Hermione," I said smiling, "Now let's explore the grounds." As we walked around the grounds Jessie made comments about different people we saw holding hands or sitting on the grass. Jessie looked out across the lake and saw many people just like I did, but who she saw was a total shock. "Who are those people?" Jessie asked me pointing to a pair of lovers sitting on the grass enjoying a picnic. They looked familiar, but I didn't know why. Then when the girl turned her ponytail to me I took off running pulling Jessie behind me. "Ron what is it!" Jessie asked running up behind me not even breathless. "That's*pant* my sister!" "So, she's just talking to her boyfriend." "Boyfriend, oh that makes me feel better!" I yelled running as fast as I could, but Jessie still got there first. "Who are you?" asked Ginny looking rather shocked. "Jessie Snow. Your brother-" "Is standing right behind you!" I yelled making everyone jump. "Ron, calm down I was just having a picnic with-" "NEVILLE! Ginny what the heck were you thinking, wait apparently you weren't! I can't believe that you'd date this Twit!" I continued to rant for about 5 minutes before Jessie interrupted me. "Ron!" Jessie yelled making me jump. "This is a family affair, and this not any business of yours!" Okay, maybe not the smartest thing to say to a motorcycle riding, weight lifting, 6- foot girl, but I was mad! "Ron, I suggest you duck." "Wh-"I didn't even finish asking 'Why?' before she decked me. I woke up about 12:00 am in the common room with Jessie asleep on the floor with my hand in her's. Even though she'd decked me she was still beautiful, especially when she slept. Lavender came down with a glass and was heading for the bathroom when I intercepted her. "Lav, listen there's an empty bed in your dorm with a trunk that says 'JS', Right?" "Yeah, why?" she asked yawning. "Jessie Snow is here, she belongs in that bed." "Okay," "She's asleep. Can I take her up into the dorm?" "Ron there's nothing to see there, go on in it's not locked." "Okay," I picked up Jessie and carried her to the dorm. I laid her on the only empty bed with her trunk in front of it. Unfortunately, Hermione occupied the bed right next to Jessie, I wasn't sure what was gonna happen if those two didn't become friends. As I turned to leave Jessie woke up. "Ginny didn't do anything wrong. Would she have come up behind you and spoiled your picnic with the person you liked?" she asked I'd sat down on the foot of the bed and was listening to her absorbing what she'd said. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Gin, should be happy, even if happiness means being with Neville," I said regretting the fact that I was right about Ginny's happiness, "I just have one question, Why'd you deck me?" "You were making a fool of yourself in front of everyone. I tried to tell you to be quiet but you snapped at me so I did what I thought would shut you up the quickest. I'm sorry." "It's no problem, I know I deserved it. Thanks for shutting me up. I love Ginny, and I was just being a protective big brother." "I know how you feel. I was a protective little sister until my sister got married, she was so insecure I had to help her. You're a good guy Ron." She leaned up and kissed me on the cheek. Luckily it was dark so she couldn't see my extremely red ears and face. I stood up and walked out muttering "Thanks." ~*~ The Next Day "Ron!" Hermione yelled to me on my way to the Divindation tower. "Oh, boy," I mumbled to myself, "What Herm?" "I may sound rude, but Jessie seems dangerous." "Pardon? Dangerous? Jessie? No way! Hermione I never thought I'd hear you say that I needed to stay away from someone. Don't you remember in 5th Year your whole speech on not judging someone on first glance or appearance?" "Yes, yes I remember, but she just showed up out of no where and caused all the guys to go mushy." "Hermione Elizabeth Granger! You're jealous!!" "Ron! How could you even think such a thing! I've never been jealous!" "Oh, Really? 3rd through 5th year: Cho Chang. 4th year: Fleur Décor. Do I need to continue?" " No, I get the point." "Herm, just talk to her. She was top of her class at Beauxbottons. You two may have something in common." "I doubt it, but ok. I mean-" "Great!" I said and flew off toward the tower. I didn't want to hear one of Hermione's Lectures. ~Divination Tower~ As I entered the tower I could tell something was wrong. All the students were gathered around Professor Trelawny's desk. The room was different too! All the shades were up and light flooded the room. As I walked to the front Harry joined me, "What's going on?" he asked. "As if I know!" I replied. When I got to the desk I knew what was wrong: Professor Trelawny was absent! The substitute was a pretty black haired woman. Her eyes were weird! They had no color they were completely white! The biggest difference, though between she and Trelawny was that she was SMILING!!! "Mr. Weasley, I've been expecting you!" (Can you say Creepy?) "Now let's get started who will volunteer? How about you Mr. Weasley? Do you want to know what your future holds?" "I guess so. How?" This woman was creeping me out! "Oh it's easy! Just sit down here," she said beckoning a large fluffy purple chair toward her so it was facing her, "Mr. Weasley, or should I say Ronald, or perhaps Ron?" "Mr. Weasley suits me just fine," I don't know what it was, but something about her frightened- no not frightened me, but made me put my guard up. But what? I didn't know. "Alright. Now to make this work we need 3 questions from a good friend of Mr. Weasley's. How about you Mr. Potter? What do you want to know about your best friend?" I could tell Harry had put his guard up too, "I guess, When will he find true love?" he said grinning at me raising his eyebrows, at this all the girls in the room giggled, " Who will he fall in love with? And do we know her?" "Very good questions! Now Mr. Weasley, place your right hand directly over your heart and hold them there for 3 seconds," I did as she asked, while I did this she chanted some weird incantation along the lines of 'Abu-Dhabi- maschu-peichu', " Good; Now give me you're hand," I gave her my hands and noticed 3 marks, 2 I didn't recognize, but one I did. "Now, as you all can see," she said holding my hand up for all to see, "There are three marks here. This top one is a heart with three words printed inside: Gia Fondare Amore. This means Mr. Weasley has already found love. The second symbol- well this is odd. There is no name; just a perfectly shaped Snowflake. How odd." 'Jessie??' I thought, "The third symbol is your school Crest which implies that the whole school knows her." All the girls looked at each other, wondering who it could be, "Now class, what I just did is called a heart reading. Those questions could only be answered from the heart. We'll work on it some more later. I'm sure that you are all wondering where Professor Trelawny is. Sybil has been, well, uh, taken ill. Nothing serious, but she will not be back." "What exactly is wrong with her?" Lavender asked. "Well, she was married to a very nice young Professor from Beauxbaxtons, and will be having triplets in April," Yeesh! I can just image 3 little Trelawnys running around predicting people's deaths! UGH! ~RINGGGGG~ "Class dismissed," Harry and I stayed put, "Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter what are you still here for?" she asked sounding like she suddenly hated our guts. "What's your name?" I asked. I don't know why I did, but something came over me. "My- my name- why- why yes, oh, how- uh- how rude of me. My name is- uh-" "Have you forgotten your name? Or is your name Mrs. Uh?" Harry asked coldly. (A/N: Line from A Knight's Tale!) "My name is Mrs. Cathleen Indovenello. Now please leave!" Harry and I walked out of the room quickly, but not too quickly. (A/N: Indovenello is Italian. For what? You'll see at the end! MUHAHAHAHAHA!) Hermione and Jessie met us outside the Transfiguration Classroom. Here is a quick overview of my Next 3 classes: Transfig: BORING as usual! Hermione and Jessie took 10 pages of notes( front and Back) Harry and I took a full page (front only) and then we drew up plays for Quidditch, being Co-Captains we do a lot of that. Potions: dull and filled with hate of Gryffindor. Herbology: what is there to say? Plants, plants, and more plants Now I'm in my favorite class! Defense Against the Dark Arts! As usual we have a new Professor, He'll only be here till the end of this year though. By some miracle Prof. Dumbledore convinced Harry to be the DADA Professor starting next year. Today we are studying how to face Dementors. Our professor is a nice guy named Professor Harold Hill. (A/N: HEHEHE! If you've ever seen the old movie The Music Man you know why this is so funny. My sister's High School choir did that Musical this year and I was writing this part during that time so what better name than Prof. Harold Hill? If you haven't seen the Movie WATCH IT!!!! Okay, Toodle Pip!) He was about 40 and was a great teacher, but his strongest point was the girls! Every girl in the school had a crush on him! All except Hermione and Jessie; Hermione claims that she would (and I quote) 'Never have a crush on a Professor', at least until Harry and I bring up Lockhart in 2nd year. That's why Prof. Hill likes them best! They are the only people who he calls on. I guess he likes Harry and me too, because we're the only two he gives detention to. After class he asked me if I would stay behind. "Ron, how do you do it?" he asked me. I had no earthly idea what he meant! "What do you mean professor?" "In class today you seemed very preoccupied, puzzled, perplexed, may I stop there?" "Sure." "Yet, every Dementor you were faced with, you beat with a lot of skill! What was wrong?" "Well, today in Divindation, Professor Trelawny was absent and we had a sub, Mrs. Cathleen Indovenello-" there Professor Hill cut me off. He sat up straight, and his eyes got big. "Indovenello? Are you sure?" "Yes sir." "Thank you. You are dismissed," and with that he ran out of the room! I didn't understand. I looked at my hand where Mrs. Indovenello had done a heart reading. All the symbols had disappeared, except for the snowflake. I knew just what to do then. I grabbed a personalized piece of parchment and scribbled a pass for me to check out a highly restricted book: Powerful Students of Hogwarts, Beauxbaxtons, and Durmstrang That You Should Be Aware Of. Madame Pince thought this book shouldn't even be in the restricted section so she kept it behind her desk, lock, with 10 Muggle locks and 10 lock spells. Even 7th years needed a pass to get this book! So I wrote a pass: Allow Mr. Ronald Weasley to check out Powerful Students of Hogwarts, Beauxbaxtons, and Durmstrang That You Should Be Aware Of. Professor Harold Hill ~*~ Even before I reached the Library, I could hear yelling. I went into the Library to find Jessie sitting quite serenely reading a book, while behind her chair Madame Pince and a girl were arguing about a book. I sat down next to Jessie and asked, "How long have they been at this?" "Uh-huh" I could tell she was like Hermione. When Hermione was reading, it was like she was in a trance. Yes, she would answer you, but it was usually an answer that had nothing to do with the question. "How was your Muggle Studies test?" "Oh, that's great!" I decided I'd try it one more time before giving up, So I asked her something that I hoped would snap her out of her trance. "There's a Hogsmeade trip on Friday, and I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me, like a date." "Sure," she said still not paying attention. "I'll pick you up at 7 in the common room, Ok?" "Great." I decided I might as well leave. Madame Pince and her yelling partner had moved on, and I wasn't getting any conversation out of Jessie. I got up and headed toward Madame Pince, when I blonde head caught my eye. Malfoy; and he was heading straight for Jessie. I figured that this would be pretty funny so I walked over and sat down behind them. Their conversation was weird. "Is this seat taken?" he asked casually. "Yes," Jessie answered icily. "Listen Jess, I'm sorry about what Goyle said in the hall." "I've been called worse." I had no idea what they were talking about, but I knew Malfoy had never apologized to a Gryffindor in his whole sleazy life! Then again, he was probably under her spell like the rest of the male population of Hogwarts. "Jess, look at me please!" "Ha! Why? So you could maul me some more? No thanks, my book is kinder." Malfoy grabbed her book and put it next to him, "Hey! Give that back!" "No, now listen to me! Crabbe and Goyle are really low, but I gave them what for!" "Joy to you!" "Look at me!" "No, as I said you'll just hurt me worse." Jessie was still looking at the table. "I would never do that! And you know it!" he grabbed her shoulders and turned her so she was facing him. "Draco leave me alone!" WOA! Not even the Slytherins called him Draco! "No, listen to me! I'm not like them! I'm truly sorry!" "Ha! That'd be the day! You say what you think you mean, but you don't mean it! You and Uncle Lucious are the same!" I almost fell out of my chair I was so shocked! Jessie and Malfoy were COUSINS! "Yes we are!" "No! No, Draco! Not really! Now leave me alone!" Jessie stood up and stormed out of the door. I followed at a close distance, but not too close. She was upset and crying, I hated seeing girls cry! She left the building and headed out to the grounds. She headed straight for the lake. She threw her books down next to a large Elm Tree and quickly climbed the tree. I stood below the tree, I could hear her softly crying. "Jess?" I called up. "What do you want Ron?" she replied, tears chocking her voice. "What happened?" "In the hall I was walking reading my book and Crabbe and Goyle asked me, 'what ya reading little miss bitch ass mudblood?' you know my temper so I had to say something back. I turned around and cursed them out Texas style." "Can I come up there with you?" I saw a few students slowly wandering out onto the grounds, and I looked like I was talking to a tree. "Sure, why not?" I tried to climb up the tree at least ten times, I finally managed to get hold of a branch and pull myself up. I had no idea how Jessie got up here so fast! "Drink?' she asked the second I finally got up. While I drank my soda (some muggle drink called Dr. Pepper) I looked around. There were books strewn hither and thither, a small platform was what we were seated on, there was a large puffy blanket and a large puffy pillow. "You sure moved in here!" I said grinning at her. "Yup; a quick spell and poof everything was in place. So, you still gonna pick me up at 7 on Friday, in the common room?" this time she grinned at me. "You were listening! I didn't think you were, but if you'll go I will?" "I already gave you my answer. Did you find Draco and my convo amusing?" "You knew I was listening?" "Yeah; you are pretty easy to spot. Draco didn't know though, the stupid git!" "I agree, but I really do think he was being sincere." "No doubt, but he'll just break whatever promise he makes, as usual. I'm related to him on my dad's side. Narcissa Malfoy used to be Narcissa Snow. I can't believe she ended up with Lucious!" "Wait! They called you a mudblood right?" "Yeah." "So Draco is Half Muggle?" "Yeah." "He always tells people he a purebred!" "Well, He lies." "YES, finally! That Twit has been caught in his own lie!!" "Well, Narcissa knows a little magic, but not enough to be called a witch." "Jessie, I'm so happy right now I could kiss you!" we both just sort of sat there for a second realizing what I'd just said, "Well, uh, we better get going or we are going to be late for History of Magic." I covered quickly, "You okay?" "Yeah, let's go." We walked to History of Magic, arm in arm. I couldn't believe I'd said I wanted to kiss her! Well, then again, it would have been nice. I glanced at my hand and saw that the snowflake was still there. ~*~ The next day in Herbology it was a double day with the Slytherins. We were doing doubles projects. I got stuck with Malfoy and Jessie was with Pansy. (Harry and Hermione were together) I decided to tell Malfoy how much I knew about his little conversation yesterday. "I'm going out with your cousin on Friday." I said as I was pouring juice from the Monifiche Io Plant. (A/N: Translation: Alter Ego Plant. Explanation: plant that produces 2 juices. The one from the stem will make you ill and wish you were dead, and the juice from the leaves will cure the sickness. Get it? Alter Ego? You people are SLOW!) "My cousin? Who might that be?" "You know: Library, 'Sorry about what those two said to you in the hall.' Draco." "You heard that?" he asked in disbelief, while pouring the juice from the stem of the plant into a vile. "Better pay attention to what you're doing, Malfoy. If you get some of that on your skin your two best friends will turn into sleazy low lives or Rats. Oops! Too late!" "Real funny Weasley. You heard my apology yesterday?" "Sure did, and I also know about your Mom's maiden name." "Well, don't let it get out. Okay?" "Fine by me." "Good." "Mr. Malfoy! You were only supposed to fill half of the vile!" Professor Sprout yelled running over. I could barely hold my laughter in! Even though she was all the way on the other side of the room I could hear Jessie laugh. She had a wonderful ringing laugh, which echoed in your mind forever, no matter what happened. ~*~

A/N: I was planning on making this story a whole big long story, but it's now 34 pages and I'm only at 6th year Christmas Break. So I'm posting this now. I'll post the second chap. when I have 3 reviews.
