Chapter Three – Enjoy!
The first three weeks of Hogwarts had gone by so fast for Jay. She had become inseparable from the twins, sometimes even being the mastermind behind their pranks. The quidditch girls and her had become close, they gossiped and hung out with the twins every night. She had even became an older role model for Harry, having supper with him every night, laughing about Slytherins and pranks her and the twins had pulled. She was exceeding in all of her classes so far, although she was very good at hiding her smarts to make sure the twins would not call her a nerd. Ever Hermione was getting along well with her, if Jay didn't know any better Hermione approved of her. All in all, Hogwarts was turning out perfect for Jay.
Dumbledore and Jay started to have secret late night meetings every Wednesday night where Dumbledore would give her private lessons and show her pensieves from his past. When every Wednesday night came along she would make some excuse saying she needed extra help in a certain class or that she just wanted to go to bed. One night after her meeting with Dumbledore she gave her grandfather a kiss on the cheek and started down the hall quietly to make sure she didn't get caught by any prefects or teachers patrolling the halls. Some girls would be scared to walk along the old cold stone halls of Hogwarts, but not Jay. She found it relaxing, that is until she heard someone walking behind her. Thinking it may be a teacher she started to panic, she started to run down the hall waiting to turn the corner when someone reached out from the shadows or a broom closet and clamped a warm hand over her mouth, and a long lean arm encircled her waist dragging her into the closet.
Jay instinctively elbowed who ever had grabbed her in the stomach and grabbed his arm so he was no longer holding her. "Oi! Jay, it's us!" whispered an all too familiar voice.
"Fred!" she yelled throwing one red head to the ground, "George!" she scolded the other.
"Shh Jay, calm down love!" said Fred as he rubbed the tender spot where Jay had elbowed him "quite the lady you are." said Fred under his breath.
"Yeah, Jay you're going to bust our cover! We get all our best pranking done at night, and you're going to uncover our best broom closet." whispered George.
"Shh! Someone's coming!" whispered Fred urgently as Jay tried to stay perfectly still trying hard not to notice how close she was to these two boys, or how good they had smelled. They waited until they heard slow footsteps walk by the door, and slowly around the corner until they couldn't hear anything else.
"Ugh, you boys! Why was I never invited on these late night pranking adventures!" Jay said in a mock hurt tone, pouting and putting her hands on her hips, glaring at George.
"Aww Jay," began Fred as he slid his arm around her, "you know we love yah mate!"
"..but we need our twin time too" winked George, "You know, guy time. Not that you still aren't the brains of our operation."
Jay could tell the boys were lying the second they started talking, George always talked with his hands when he's lying. "Uhhuh" said Jay, "Look boys, although I'd love to spend an evening with the two of you in a broom closet wondering what you're doing, it's late and we have class in the morning, so I'm heading out!" said Jay as she reached for the doorknob.
"Wait!" whispered George. "I hear someone else, Fred and I can't get caught again, we already have detention every night for a month!"
Jay froze as these footsteps were faster than the others, she jumped back from the door into Fred, who tripped over a bucket making a loud noise. Quickly Jay locked the door giving her more time to think about what to do, until she heard the voice of a certain Hufflepuff prefect say "whoever is in the broom closet come out now!"
"Bloody hell" whispered George.
"Hide behind the door, I have this!" Jay whispered quietly, making a ton of noise to hide the sound of her voice, and the movement of the tall twins.
As Jay stepped out of the closet she came face to face with a pointed wand. As soon as Cedric realized who the culprit was his handsome face broke out into a grin.
"Well, well, surprising to see you ms. Wilson, what's up?" he asked casually.
"Oh yah know, just chillin in a broom closet." smiled Jay. "No big deal."
"May I ask why you were in an empty broom closet? Not planning awful pranks on Filch and us prefects with your other halves are you?" asked Cedric half amused at Jays calm nature.
"Oh, I'd never dream of it Ced. The boys and I are more classy than that" winked Jay sassily.
Cedric began to laugh, "You seem it, broom closet is definitely classy."
"Well Ced, I'd love to stay up and chat with a handsome fellow such as yourself all night, but I have some beauty sleep to catch up on, you know how the student life is" said Jay inching past the tall boy, "I'll catch you later Ced! Night!" said Jay as she tried to make a run for it.
"Not so fast my dear!" said Cedric laughing again, "You're quite smooth aren't you? I'd love to just let you go, but what kind of prefect would I be if I let you go and no one else? I mean you are wandering around a dark castle late at night, thankfully I found you before something nasty did!" he finished with a joking glint in his eye.
"Yes... I suppose... Where are you going with this ced." Jay said as she folded her arms across her chest, knowing exactly where this was going, as her little crush began to fade after being caught red handed.
"Just one detention tomorrow night, that's all, now get to bed, Filch is making his way around, and he'll give you worse than that." Said Cedric as he began down the hall.
"ugh, oh thanks alot Ceddy boy, always looking out for helpless girls like myself!" Jay said sarcastically as she too turned to go the opposite direction.
She heard Cedric Laugh, "Oh, and Jay, the detentions with me, I wont make it bad, think of it as date even... Night Jay!" said Cedric.
"Oh sod off, a date?" said Jay under her breathe as she began back to the common room. Not even waiting for the twins to get back, or they might feel the wrath of this Wilson girl. Soon as she got back she climbed in bed thinking about her detention.
The next morning at breakfast Jay was in a slightly better mood as she ate breakfast and discussed her so called detention date with Katie.
"He's flirting with you Jay!" said Katie happily, "don't be angry with him! It's actually quite cute!"
"Well, he could've just asked me instead of putting me in detention! Now my record is going to look bad!" said Jay angrily stabbing at her toast.
"Jay, it's one detention" said Katie laughing at her, "you make it sound like it's the end of the world, you've done worse stuff, it's just that this time you've gotten caught. And by a dreamy golden haired prefect at that" Katie finished dreamily.
"Ahhh! Here's our lovely lady!" said George as he shoved himself on the bench beside Jay grabbed her hand and kissed it. "You're acting last night was wonderful! Couldn't have done it better myself! Quick thinking, that's why we hang out with you! You saved us from double detention, Cedric defiantly would have given us a full week!" said George cheerfully shoving his face with a peice of toast, as a his twin sat down beside Katie.
"You boys owe me big time, now I have to spend an evening in detention" said Jay unhappily.
"How does meeting at that broom closet sound for a reward?" said Fred winking at her.
"No thanks," said Jay unimpressed.
Just then Angelina came bounding over to them in a very cheery mood which was not usual for this non-morning person.
"Hey guys!" she said happily sitting next to George.
"What's up with her" Katie whispered.
"Oh come on guys! Only half a day of classes, Beauxbaton and Durmstrang are coming today remember! Opening ceremony for the triwizard cup! I'm Pumped!"
"ahh right" said Fred glumly "the triwizard cup that we aren't allowed to enter."
"Don't worry mon frère!" said Jay getting up from her seat, "You clearly aren't capable of winning anything either, they need tough handsome guys to enter that tournament... Like..." Jay started preparing herself to run "Cedric Diggory." And with that Jay took off laughing knowing how Fred hated the perfect golden boy. Jay didn't get five feet when the long legged red head grabbed her around the waist and started tickling her.
"ahahahaha, c'mon. Hahaehehe, Fred!" laughed Jay as she squirmed making a scene in the great hall.
"what was that Jay! Cant hear yah!" said Fred. "What did you say? Who is the most handsome tough guy at Hogwarts?"
"You! Ahahehehehe!" laughed Jay. "You Frederick Weasley!"
"That's what I thought" said Fred helping Jay off the floor, "and don't you forget it."
"hahaha, I wont Freddy, lets get to class!" said Jay as her and Fred headed towards transfiguration.
"How old are those two?" asked Angelina as she watched the two head out of the great hall.
"I don't know" replied Kate, "but' they would make an awful cute couple." And with that the two girls were up and following their friends to class.
At noon that day Proffesor Mcgonagol had the entire Gryffindor house in their finest uniforms and all looking prefect before the two schools showed up. They were out waiting at the main entrance when the two schools arrived. Jay was standing with Angelina and Alicia near the back discussing Quidditch when Minerva had shushed them, as they did Cedric looked back winking at Jay as she got scolded by her head of house.
"Git." Jay said to herself as the Beauxbaton students entered the castle in their sky blue uniforms, each girl blonde and looking like a model. Jay just looked at Ange, both thinking the same thing and rolling their eyes and the perfect looking girls. Jay looked to her right to see Fred and George bowing at the girls as they went by and faking a French accent, in one swift movement Jay reached her leg out and kicked Fred in the bottom so he fell on his face, having the blonde girls laugh at him. Blushing Fred looked back glaring at Jay as she smiled sweetly at him and gave a little wave.
As this was happening Jay hadn't noticed all the little girls squealing and looking for quills to write with as the Durmstrang students started to enter Hogwarts. Her and Fred started a little immature shoving match as Fred grabbed her and swung her around jokingly, but Jay being her clumsy self, tripped over a stray rock landing on her knees in front of a pair of shiny black boots.
"Oh bugger!" said Jay "thanks a lot Fred!" Everything went quiet as Jay notice several people gasp. Jay slowly looked up the legs to the face of quidditch star Viktor Krum. Jay was froze and the only thing that could come out of her mouth was "Shit."
"Clumsy girl" said Viktor through his thick accent with a grin on his face, however, the tall older man beside him did not find it as entertaining. Viktor then stretched one hand out and easily helped her off the floor and then continued to walk past her as if nothing had happened. Jay stood with her mouth wide open not even noticing the glared Minerva was sending her as the Hogwarts students then started to enter the school.
Jay slowly looked at the tall red head standing sheepishly behind her. "You're a jerk," was all she had to say as her and the girls entered the great hall.
"Hey now!" said Fred running behind her, "It was just a joke!"
After Dumbledore's speech, introductions and welcoming feast, Jay, Angelina, Alicia and Katie and headed up to the common room, scoping for cute boys on their way. As the entered the common room she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione whispering so she decided to go see what was up.
"hey guys!" she said cheerily, "you lot aren't plotting against Dumbledore's ageline are you?" she said grinning.
"Nah" said Harry, "no way we would get by Dumbledore anyway"
"Smart boy!" said Jay as she sat down beside him, "How's everything going? Excited for the tournament?"
"Everything's good, classes are good. Professor Moody seems a little weird though. It can't be anything though, he does work for the ministry."
"Yeah" cut in Ron, "dad reckons he's always been like that, good ol mad-eye moody"
"Yes" said Hermione, "But that's no reason to show us the unforgivable curses in class!" she finished matter of factly, a little ticked off about the whole thing.
Jay thought back to mad eye, upon her first meeting with his she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, but shook it off when Dumbledore had told her he was an original member of the order.
"You're right Hermione, it wasn't appropriate, but he has been through a lot, so he is a little off, years of being an auror can do that to you I guess!" Jay then leaned into Harry so only the four of them could hear.
"I had a strange feeling about him the first day of classes, if anything else happens thats odd, let me know okay?" finished Jay.
"Yeah, of course!" said Harry looking strangely at Jay as if wondering what was going on, but didn't question her as the common room was full.
Jay then looked up at the clock realizing her detention started in ten minutes. Jay started out the door when the twins grabbed her.
"Sorry again about early love, didn't mean to make you look like an arse in front of the best quidditch player in the league!" said Fred who seemed like he was just rubbing it in.
"yeah, yeah, I can tell you're so sincere you big meanie!" said Jay jokingly.
"Down to business miss." Said George in his serious tone, "We need your help with that aging potion, we know you're the best at potions in our Grade, and you are our best friend" said George in a pleading tone.
"Well boys," began Jay. "I'd love to help you, but I'm off to my detention with captain hottie" said Jay with a wink doing so just to make Fred mad, which had worked.
"More like captain moron. replied Fred lamely looking dark.
"Aw chin up Freddy-kins" said Jay smiling, "I'll help you boys soon as I get back, I'm sure this make out detention will only take so long."
"Oi!" said Fred angrily, "He touches you Jay, and you tell me!"
"Aw Fred, always so over protective" said Jay happily that she got him going, "Night boys, I'll see you two trouble makers after my detention!" and with that Jay was off, grumbling as she much rather be making trouble with her friends.
