A few weeks later, Jasmine stood on platform nine and three-quarters staring at the train. "It's not going to hurt you, you know." Draco said from behind her.
She glared at her new little brother, "I'm not stupid."
"Touchy, touchy." he laughed.
She rolled her eyes and got on the train. She had been bitter ever since the Malfoys came and adopted her. She was no longer Jasmine Danielle Lovell, instead she was Jasmine Danielle Malfoy. Not the most flattering name. It's not that she wasn't happy to get out of the hell-hole that is Orphanage for Young Witches and Wizards, it was the fact that her parents had been killed by Voldemort's followers and if her memories and the rumors were true, it was Lucius Malfoy, her new father, that murdered them. She found an empty compartment and sat down, hoping that no one would want to sit in there. Her hopes were dashed as the door opened and three guys and two girls entered the compartment.
"Do you mind if we sit in here?" one of the guys asked. He was about six foot one, had short brown hair, the nicest smile, and the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen.
She nodded, "Sure."
"Thanks."
"No problem." She discreetly observed the other four passengers. The other two guys were about six foot four, had neck-length red hair, freckles, and brown eyes. Both girls were about five foot six, had brown eyes, and shoulder length hair. One girl had black hair and the other had brown hair.
The first guy smiled and offered his hand to her, "My name's Oliver Wood, the twins are Fred and George Weasley, the girl with black hair is Angelina Johnson, and the other girl is Katie Bell."
She smiled and shook Oliver's hand, "I'm Jasmine Lo...uh..." she swallowed, "Jasmine Malfoy."
"MALFOY!?!?" the compartment exclaimed.
She nodded, "Yeah."
Fred tilted his head, "I didn't know Draco had a sister."
She sighed, "We're not blood related. Thank god."
Angelina raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"
"My birth name is Jasmine Danielle Lovell. The Malfoys adopted me a few weeks ago." she explained.
"Where are you parents?" George asked.
She glared out the window, "That's not important."
Silence fell over the compartment for a few minutes, but Katie broke it, "So, you're in your third year?"
She shook her head and looked at her, "No. I'm starting my sixth year."
"That's cool. I'm starting my seventh and final year." Oliver stated, receiving glares from the other four.
"What about the rest of you?" she asked.
"We're all starting our fifth year." Fred replied.
"That's cool. Are you all in the same house?"
"Yep. Good ole Gryffindor." George smiled.
"Do you know what house you'll be in or will you have to be sorted with the first years?" Angelina asked.
"I have to be sorted. I'm probably the oldest person in Hogwarts history to have to be sorted."
Katie shook her head, "Nope, last year we had a transfer in his seventh year who had to be sorted."
She smiled, "Well, that makes me feel better."
"Thought it might."
Fred grinned and looked at you, "Okay, since you're new, we're going to ask you a question and you have to answer it truthfully and then you can ask us a question. Deal?"
"Deal."
"Okay, me first." Fred said, "Do you have any nicknames?"
She thought for a moment, "The other kids at the orphanage used to call me Jazz. My turn, how can you tell which twin is which?"
"That's simple." George said, "I have a scar on my left eyebrow from a bludger incident." He glared at Fred. "And Fred always wears a silver chain and I have my left ear pierced." He thought for a moment, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"George!" Katie exclaimed.
Jazz laughed, "No. Never have. Do you have a girlfriend?"
George shook his head, "Nope."
"My turn," Katie said, "Do you have any embarrassing secrets that we can black mail you with?"
"Now why would I tell you that?"
"Was that a yes?"
She shook your head, "No. I don't have any embarrassing secrets. Do you?"
Katie shrugged, "One or two. Angelina, you're next."
"Um, do you have the skills to set me up with this guy I like?"
She nodded, "More than likely. What's this guy's name?"
Angelina's eyes widened, "Like I'm going to tell you here with the three biggest mouth guys here." she gestured to Fred, George, and Oliver.
Next was Oliver, "Do you play Quidditch?"
"That is so like you." Katie sighed.
Jazz raised an eyebrow, "I used to play at the orphanage. It was always girls verses guys. The girls always won. Do you?"
Oliver nodded, "We all do. Katie and Angelina are Chasers, Fred and George are the beaters, and I'm the Keeper and Captain."
She smiled, "Then maybe I'll go and see a game or two."
"You know what, you're kinda cool." Angelina said.
"Thanks...I think."
The door opened again. It was another red head, only his hair was curly. "We're almost to Hogwarts, you need to change into your robes." He looked at Jazz, "Are you Jasmine?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Yes. What do you want?"
"My name's Percy Weasley, I'm..."
"We know, we know, Head Boy." the compartment, excluding Percy and Jazz, sighed.
Percy cleared his throat, "Jasmine, you are to ride across the lake with the first years." With that, he left.
"Stupid prat." George mumbled.
"Older brother?" Jazz asked.
Fred nodded, "Alas, yes. We also have another brother entering his fourth year and a sister entering her third year, you'll probably meet them later."
Katie sighed, "As much as I hate to admit it, Percy's right."
George gasped, "Shut your mouth!"
Katie rolled her eyes, "Well, we are close to the school and we need to change." Everyone stood up and grabbed their uniforms, Jazz's being just black and white, and the three girls, being the witches they were, pushed the guys out of the compartment and closed and locked the door.
"Where are we supposed to change?!" Oliver shouted.
"Right where you're at?" Angelina suggested.
Jazz laughed, "I'm sure every last one of the girls would love to see you three shirtless."
"Does that include you three?" George asked. Jazz could tell it was George because his voice was a little bit deeper than Fred's.
"You're a pig George!" Katie shouted.
"Oink, oink!" he replied.
"Come on boys," Fred started, "We'll go find Harry and Ron."
The three girls laughed and changed.
The ride across the lake wasn't too bad, some poor first year was pulled into the lake and was now wearing Hagrid's jacket. Jazz now stood in the Great Hall, waiting for your name to be called. "Malfoy, Jasmine." Professor McGonagall called out. There was a mass of whispers throughout the hall as she stepped up and sat on the stool.
The hat was placed on her head and began to talk, "Another Malfoy? Ah, but this one is not a Malfoy by blood. No Slytherin potential lie here. You are loyal and brave, better be...GRYFFINDOR!!!"
Jazz sighed, relieved, as she made her way to the Gryffindor table and was greeted with a hug from Angelina and Katie. After the last of the kids were sorted Dumbledore stood up and the hall went quiet. "Welcome to another year of Hogwarts. I have a few minor notices. The Dark Forest is forbidden. Mr. Filch would like me to remind you that there is a list in his office stating what is and is not allowed in the halls. Oh, and before I forget, for those in third year and up, there will be a Halloween dance and a Valentine's Day dance at The Three Broomsticks this year and a Christmas dance will be held here. I think that's the last of them so, let the feast begin!"
Food magically appeared on the plates and everyone began chattering about the dance. "Three dances?!" Angelina exclaimed, "That's never happened before."
Katie looked at Jazz, "Looks like you came here the right year."
Jazz smiled, "Do you always rhyme?"
Katie rolled her eyes at Jazz and began eating. Just then, the twins and Oliver sat in front of you. "Where were you guys?" Lee Jordan asked, taking a seat next to Jazz.
"We were in the restroom, fixing our uniforms. We didn't get them on in time because some people," Oliver glared at Jazz, Angelina, and Katie, "Pushed and locked us out of our compartment."
Jazz tried to contain her laughter, the three boys glared at you. "What?" she asked, "It was funny." She took a sip of your drink, "Besides, it's not like we turned you're boxers different colors."
George looked at Fred, "You know Fred, I think we better watch what we do to our new friend. She may retaliate."
Fred nodded, "I think you're right dear brother of mine."
Angelina laughed, "You'll definitely fit in here Jazz."
Jazz laughed right along, "I think you're right."
She glared at her new little brother, "I'm not stupid."
"Touchy, touchy." he laughed.
She rolled her eyes and got on the train. She had been bitter ever since the Malfoys came and adopted her. She was no longer Jasmine Danielle Lovell, instead she was Jasmine Danielle Malfoy.
