"Please Jen, Please just do this for me. Have I ever asked you for something, ever?" Jennifer could think of lots of things her sister had asked her. Her, not wearing her glasses for one, leaving her hair down—which she hated—wearing tighter clothes.
"Uh, YEAH!"
"Okay have I ever asked you for something this big, come on Jen, just this once and I promise I will never, ever bug you ever again," Ivy was begging, Ivy never begged. Well she never begged her sister that is, she did however beg her parents.
"That's because you can't bug me ever again," Ha Jennifer thought I got her on this one.
"What do you mean I can't bug you ever again, of course I can bug you. Just because I'm getting married doesn't mean I can't bug you," darn. Jennifer and Ivy were sitting in their Kitchen, and Jen was trying to eat her breakfast. It was just 2 days before Ivy's wedding. And Ivy had yet to pick a band for the wedding. Thus the begging.
"I can't sing, Ivy," Jen had taken singing lessons since the age of five. So they both knew that she was lying.
"Oh, yes you can. For god's sake Jen, just do this for me, any song I don't give a shit. Just please, just this once," Ivy was getting desperate now. Jen could no longer take her sister's puppy dog eyes. She was going to give in any second now. She knew it.
"Fine but I want to get paid for it," Jen was broke and if she could use this to her advantage she would. If her sister needed a singer than fine, she would sing, but she wanted cash for it.
"Yeah, yeah anything. Oh My Gosh you know how much I love you?"
"No in fact I don't," Well she thought at least she could have fun with her sister.
"I love you loads, and I'll even buy you an outfit for the wedding, the outfit you're going to change in to at the reception."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, even though I'm paying you, I feel so relived right now. Thank you so much,"
"Awwww, no problem," she loved her sister. Even though she didn't mention it often.
"Hey prongs, who's that?" A boy with shaggy black hair asked a boy who was slightly shorter tha the first buy.
"Don't you recognize her?" the boy with round spectacles and crazy hair, asked.
"Why would I ask her damn name if I could recognize her?!"
"No need to get mean," he started to pout.
"No need to act like a girl."
"HEY! Fine then if I'm a girl then I'm a girl that doesn't tell Sirius Black anything,"
"Oh come on, stop being a baby."
"Fine, that girl over there, her name is Jennifer,"
"You mean your cousin? The same nerdy Jennifer. The Jennifer who's best friends are books. The same—"
"Yes, Sirius, the very same," It was the day of Ivy's wedding and Jennifer was up on stage singing. She was wearing a very fitted white tank top, a mini skit, with a big brown belt around her waist. Her hair was in tight curls, and she was wearing a few bracelets on each arm. She was wearing knee high woman lace up boots. All in all she looked good.
"Hey Sirius, you better shut your mouth before you drown in your own drool," James found this to be highly amusing. It wasn't everyday that Sirius was drowning in his drool by just looking at some girl. Sirius rarely lost his cool, and it was funny to see that the girl he teased to no end could do that to him.
"What the hell happened to her?" This was not the same Lawson he knew. The girl that he knew had glasses, that girl had best friends who where books, was the girl he liked to tease because she was always so prim and proper. She always had a witty comeback to all his insults. He loved teasing her just to hear her comeback. Just for another challenge. He would never admit it to the brunet but he found her so amusing, the way she would look at everybody—like they weren't worthy of her attention, the way she had a comeback to ever single insult that was thorn in her face. But this wasn't the same girl that he liked to tease. It wasn't the same girl at all. This girl was a hell of lot more sexy!
"What do you mean, "What happened"," both of the boys were near the drinks table, they both had butterbeers in their hands, and both of them were leaning against the wall looking up at the stage. They were looking up at Jennifer as she sang.
"Don't you remember how she looked last year?"
"Yeah, but I still don't get what your trying to get at?"
"What I'm trying to get at is this girl that I see in front of me is sexy, the girl that I know, Lawson, she was a nerd. I mean yea she did have a nice figure before too, but you only got too see that if you snuck in to the girl's dormitories at night when she was wearing her cotton mini shorts and a half shirt," too late, he wasn't suppose to say that.
"What the hell do you mean by that? You've seen Jen in her night clothes? Wait what the hell were you doing up n the girl's dormitories in the first place?"
"Well it was a dare, I had to do it, mate, I never took anything from your cousin. And where were we, yeah so why does she look so different this summer?"
"People change, and I never, ever want you to be looking at my cousin like that ever again, she's off limits, alright? She's my cousin for crying out loud," he was having fun, teasing Sirius, he knew that she changed, he also knew the reason why she changed, but he still liked messing with his head.
"Sorry Potter, I forgot who we were talking about, Jesus, I know she's your damn cousin, and people don't change over night just like that. And when did she learn how to sing? The last I remember is that all she knew how to do was read and put up her damn hand for like five billion question just to answer the question word for word from the textbooks."
"So you know how many questions she's answered?" he was playing with him. But he couldn't help it. It was too funny to watch.
"Git. No I was exaggerating. "
"She learned to sing when she around five, she started to take lessons. She also dances, but she only does that when no one is in the same room. And if you actually looked for once she's not all that much of a nerd, she's pretty cool actually."
"Whatever." To James it was funny seeing Sirius like this. He rarely was ever moody. And when he was he would hide it. For James this was a first. And you know what they say, there's always a first for everything.
