Jess & Past

~With Jessica & Brelynn~

After getting Spell and saying good bye to the three Slytherins, and being half dragged to the compartment that Brelynn and Jessica had been using since their first year, they sat and started to do their own thing.

"Your blushing again, Jess," Brelynn informed the muggle-born as Brelynn looked up from her sketching, then back down. Jess was looking out the window of the train, daydreaming.

"Wha-What…no…I'm not!" Jessica said a little stressed out at the fact that she was blushing and didn't realize it.

Brelynn laughed at her slightly messing up her sketch. "Well shit!" the dirty blonde exclaimed as she erased the mark she made without messing up the rest of the picture.

"What did you do?" Jess questioned as she got up to look at what Brelynn was doing on her sketch pad.

"NO, NO, NO!" Brelynn all but yelled as she tried to stop Jessica from moving out of her position, so she wouldn't mess up Brelynn's picture.

"What? Why?" Jessica stopped midway of getting up. Brelynn stood up and repositioned the girl back into her previous position.

"Brelynn, what on earth are you doing?" Jessica questioned with a perplexed look.

"I was sketching you out, so later I could detail it better but you moved after I commented on your blushing." Brelynn sat back down and concentrated hard on her sketch as to make sure she didn't screw up any of the lines.

"Brelynn are you done yet?" It was some minutes later and Jessica could feel her butt going numb.

"Yeah, you can move. I got the jest of you, all I have to do is retrace, darken, and color." Brelynn's voice was soft as she darkened the lines; she had just gotten done with. As she worked you could see little by little the picture coming to life as if you could really see a medium length, haired girl sitting on a bench staring out the window as the landscape passed by blushing at some thought.

"Do you think there is any chance of your brother liking me, Bre?" Moss green eyes searched the silent artist as she worked on her latest master piece, hoping for what, she didn't know yet.

"He asks about you all the time," That was the only thing Brelynn said as she kept working.

Jessica sat there in silence, as she took in the new information. He really asks about me? Jessica's mind went crazy as she tried to figure out what that meant. Does that mean he likes me? Could he like me? I mean I am a muggle-born…But Brelynn likes me, doesn't that count for something? Brelynn is like the most important thing to him besides his mother. He'd do anything for her. He even tolerates me, when he's around, so why couldn't he like me more than just a friend or just another one of Bre's girl friends.

All this was running through Jess's head as she leaned against the side of the compartment and looked out the window again, just pondering about all of this.


~With Blaise, Draco, & Pansy~

Blaise sat staring at the same spot that the Gryffindor, that wasn't his sister but his sister's best friend, had been standing about a half hour ago.

"Who was that girl, Blaise?" Pansy looked from the Zabini boy to the spot that he just staring at to him again, with raised eyebrows.

"Jessica Johnston. She is a 7th year Gryffindor; you've seen her around before, she's the one that has her nose buried in a book all the time since she started here."

"Oh you mean the one that reads the muggle books?"

"Yeah, she's been in a couple of our classes with the Gryffindor. She's Brelynn's best friend, they met here in Bre's first year. When Bre got here after the sorting and all, then she got lost going to Gryffindor Tower and I couldn't find her. Jessica found her wondering the corridors looking like she was going to cry or had cried already. Her eyes were all red and watery." Blaise had opted to stop looking at the spot were Jessica had been, to looking out the window and every now and again looking at Pansy and Draco.

Draco Malfoy was starring out the window not looking at the landscape as it passed by, but just starring out in to space. He looked to be thinking about something, but he was only half thinking. He was also listening to Zabini talk about the two Gryffindor students with a little less interest than Parkinson was showing as she watched Blaise with wide eyes as he told her who the girl was and how he knew her.

"Did you find her?" Pansy asked leaning forward slightly hoping and praying that he had and not just left his little sister to defend herself.

"Yes, I did…. I found them a little later. Jessica was trying to comfort her but Brelynn is very skittish around people she doesn't know. Plus the fact that she's shy and is quiet too." Blaise had a thoughtful look on his face as he told the story; he looked to be reliving it.

"She didn't seem skittish earlier. Why would there be a need for her to be skittish?" Draco's gruff voice startled the other two Slytherins because to them it seemed that he hadn't been listening to Blaise's story. But in truth he was and he was very much interested in the answer to his question. Because to him, the young Gryffindor in all the time he had seen her around heard about her from Blaise or someone else, she was easily angered, loud when she thought it to be right and sometimes not, she was quick to speak her opinion, and quick to argue with anyone, even a professor.

Blaise heaved a sigh as he thought about how to phrase his answer. "The summer before her first year, her dad, he remarried-"

"Wait, you mean she's not a Zabini! I thought she lived with you and had the same father?" Pansy interrupted Blaise rather loudly. Blaise just looked at her a little surprised she blurted out, what she had been thinking.

"Um...We have the same mother, but different fathers. She's my half sister; she is 98% Italian, while I am full Italian. When she turned 2, her father took her away; our parent's marriage didn't plan out like they thought it would. So mutually, they decided to get divorced, Jim got her and kept his money, though he did decide to pay mother for child support. Why I have no idea. But they split the holidays and breaks in half, so she gets to spend time with both parents."

"She lives with Jim in North America, Biloxi, Mississippi, if I remember right. She comes to visit me and mother a lot, actually she visits us more often than not. Says 'she likes to have a bond with both of her parents. Not just with one. She likes to be able to have a mother to talk to and a brother she can take comfort in.'"

"But the summer of her first year, Jim got remarried. Brelynn didn't like the woman at all, she tried to be nice and tried to welcome her with open arms but the woman wanted to change everything and was not talking no for an answer."

Pansy looked completely confused, "Was she a muggle or a wizard."

"Pure-blood, high maintenance, and never heard the word 'no' before. She was from the wizarding world and from a very wealthy family. She wanted to send Brelynn off to boot camp. A muggle place, they send their kids to learn discipline or respect, or something like that. I didn't ask Brelynn for details. But about a year and a half later they got a divorce. She blames Brelynn for all the fights, the loss of their relationship, and the divorce in which she got nothing out of. She sends Brelynn Howlers all the time, once a week when she's at Hogwarts if I'm correct, and once a month during the summer. She wants Bre to feel guilty and from what I'm getting at it is working quite well." Blaise took a deep breath to try and settle his growing annoyance at Brelynn's ex-stepmother.

"That would be a good reason as any to be skittish around people, if you ask me." Pansy said as she sat back in her seat crossing her arms with a humph.


Hope ya'll liked it!
