Layla Rose glared at her father from across the table with her dark eyes and she pushed her natural black hair behind her ear. She said angrily "Are you trying to ruin my life? First you make me leave my friends and move to France when we could have just as easily moves to London. If we had done that at least we would know someone, Jessie for example."
"Jessie moved to London because she works there now." He father, Richard, replied harshly.
She ignored his statement "Then you make me miss the World Cup after you said I could go."
"You should be grateful!" He crossed his arms and glared at his daughter "Harry and his friends-"
"-are just fine! " She frowned "He's another personI know in London, along with Draco Malfoy!"
Richard frowned deeply "Layla Rose, you should have nothing to do with a Malfoy!"
Once again she ignored him. "And now you are trying to keep me from Hogwarts?" She held up her letter.
"Mostly the Malfoy boy." He continued to frown.
"Draco or Harry, because I'm not sure anymore." She stood from her seat "Why do I have a feeling it's Harry you want me to stay away from?" Her black eyes met her father's and it stayed silent for a while. "I'm going to bed."
Rose walked out the door behind her and headed up the staircase. Halfway down the hall she heard a tiny voice from behind. "Why is Daddy mad at you Rosie?"
Rose turned around and looked at the young girl that stood in the middle of the hallway. She was in her nightgown with her light brown hair in two messy braids. Her sleepy hazel eyes were looking back at her older sister.
Rose sighed and went to the girl and picked her up "Let's go to bed." They walked into the room closest to them. The walls were pink with purple designs on the trim and a purple chair rail going across the room. She set the young girl in her bed and pulled the purple blankets over her.
"Goodnight Rosie."
"Goodnight Aly." Rose left the room and quietly closed the door. When she turned to walk back down the hall but found herself looking into another pair of hazel eyes.
"What were you and your father fighting about?" Asked the woman looking at her.
"He isn't letting me go to school!" Rose frowned "Do you really agree with that?"
The woman paused "I'm not sure."
The girl sighed "Tori, can you please speak with him?"
"He's only doing what he thinks is best for you."
"So keeping me away from school is what's best?" Rose stepped away from the door and took a step towards her room.
"You went years without going to Hogwarts."
"yeah, but that was before I knew I had a brother. Besides Jessie was teaching me, and now she's gone. I'm sick of being homeschooled."
Torey frowned at the mention of Jessie. "If it really means that much to you, I will try and talk to him. Just don't expect it to work, he is very stubborn."
Rose smiled. "Thank you so much!" She hugged her step mother then hurried to her room.
Once she got there she threw her covers to the side and laid in her bed, quickly falling asleep.
Kingsley Shackelbolt, Nymphadora Tonks, and Jessica Davidson all apparated to their office after leaving what was left of the World Cup then they all sat at a round table and began to fill out a report.
"All we really found was burned tents and toys." Tonks said frowning.
"A few bodies…" Jessie said.
"And a piece of a house elf cloth." Kingsley said as they all stared tiredly at the paper.
"Well, why would we only find one piece of cloth?" Jessie asked. "I'm sure there were other elves."
"Jamie, that's nothing. I'm sure it was just ripped off from running into a bush or something." Tonks said.
Jessie rubbed her tired eyes "Well I'm not sure what else they want from us. It's the only thing I can think of. Besides there were only a few sets of foot prints where we found it."
"Maybe she has a point." Kingsley said, writing it in the report along with a few other things.
"I can't believe forty-five hours at that place and that's all we found." Tonks frowned.
"I know." Kingsley stood and so did the others. Jessie filed the report and yawned.
"I was going to see if you wanted to go out tonight," Tonks said to her "but I think sleep sounds better."
Jessie nodded in agreement "I'm going to head home and sleep until noon tomorrow"
"More like today." Kingsley told them. They groaned.
"Goodnight guys." Jessie said before disapparating.
Jessie apparated in the kitchen of her flat.
"Bloody Hell!" Sirius jumped back and gripped his bare chest with one hand as the other held a bowl of cereal.
Jessie smiled and took his cereal. "Honey, I'm home." She chuckled when she saw he was in his fur robe.
He frowned "You've been gone for two days and you just pop in at 12:30 in the morning?"
"Haven't you been reading the papers? There was a Death Eater attack at the World Cup. I've been there the whole time."
"Death Eaters?"
She nodded "Yes."
"What did you find?"
She frowned deeply "Nothing I don't think."
"Is Harry alright? He was supposed to be there?"
She nodded "You would have heard by now if he wasn't. He is with the Weasleys."
He grabbed two enveloped off of the counter as Jessie sat at the table and ate her cereal. He dropped them in front of her. "These both came for you earlier."
She picked them up and looked at the front, the both had her name written on them in completely different hand writing.
"One's from Rose. The other is from Snape." He frowned again.
She frowned back "Did you open my mail?"
He shrugged.
"I could get you arreste-"
He rolled his eyes "I was in Azkaban for twelve years for murder. I'm not afraid to open your mail. Besides I didn't open Snape's… I couldn't. It was impossible. He is probably just telling you how he was part of the Death Eater attack" he said angrily.
She glared "Shut up!"
When she finished her cereal and put the bowl in the sink. "I'll read them when I wake up." She said walking to their room, stepping over her sleeping dog in the middle of the hallway, then crawling into her bed still wearing her uniform. Sirius came in after her and laid on the other side of the bed he was on before he went to the kitchen.
"Are you changing?" He asked.
"No." she said, closing her eyes. "Good night."
"Night, Jess."
