I felt the sun light streaming in the window so I got up and walked right into the shower to let the hot water hit my face. Once I was out I got dressed and went down to the common room I was looking out the window when I heard two familiar voices talking. "I'm sure Jasmines up already. See there she is now I'm hungry can we go get breakfast now?" Emily and Sarge walked over to greet me and soon we left to go to the great hall. There seemed to barely anyone there but us and a few Ravenclaws. Eventually Remus walked in and sat next to us.
"Good morning, is everything okay?" Remus had a look of concern on his face.
"Well Emily happened to tell Harry and them that we were friends with Serves and they kinda freaked a bit. Is he mad by the way?" Emily looked up concerned from her pancakes. "I think he will understand eventually. Though I must be off but here comes your new friends."
Remus walked away and a bright Hermione came sitting next to Emily. "Good morning have we gotten our time tables yet?"
"Good morning Hermione and no not yet. Morning boys." Ron looked like he was about to pass out into his Bacon and eggs while Harry was almost asleep on his arm again. Hermione looked disgusted at the boys. "Well I saw your dad over here talking, is he excited about teaching today? I must say I can't wait for his class."
Emily looked excited at this. "I think Remus will be thrilled when his classes start."
Hermione then looked over at Sarge that was staring at the Slytherin Table with a look of disgust on his face. "I'm sorry I kind of remember you from the train but we never really met. I'm Hermione and that's Ron and Harry. Why is Draco Malfoy glaring at you?"
Harry looked up a little more awake this. "I'm Sarge, pleasure to meet you and oh who knows, but he seems to like you Jasmine." At this I looked up to see the pale blonde hairs and bright icy blue eyes of Draco Malfoy. "He's bad news, I'd stay away from him, and he's just a jerk. But then again you are friends with Snape so he may be your friend."
Harry turned back to his breakfast. Emily looked at Sarge. "Will you be coming with me this morning? I think I could use the help carrying my books."
"If you'd like Emily I can help you a little but I need to speak with McGonagall. I will be joining you Divination Jasmine though this morning first. So I will meet you there or here. "Sarge got up to leave. Hermione and Ron were going at it about how many classes she was taking.
"Emily, when do you have potions?" Emily looked down at her time table with a smile and said "After lunch I have double potions. But I need to run to class see you all later!" When Sarge came back the trio stood up with us to start the long journey to the North tower. Eventually when we got closer I could smell perfume and see the spiral ladder going up the trap door. Eventually we all sat at tables. The trio sat at a table next to me and Sarge.
"My name is Professor Trelawney and I am here to teach you to see to the beyond! I Sense that some of you have the inner eye!..." After a bit I turned to Sarge who was already starting notes. 'Why are we in this class listening to this fake? We know the true already.' I giggled silently 'Because I wanted to see and get an easy O now I'm trying to listening about tea leaves which we don't do that!'
I stood up to get us tea cups and tea for us to see the 'future' in. "This is stupid, according to yours you are to get a great honor soon but you will have a difficult journey."
"Well hey the throne is a journey and it could be a difficult journey you don't know. Yours says you're going to die of boredom following me and Emily around."
"ha ha I take this has a learning experiences and a chance to meet the new royalty," Before I could say something back I heard professor Trelawney go to Harry's cup" AHHH my dear boy….you have the grim."
A boy who I learned his name to be Dean Thomas pulled out of Unfogging the Future to explain what it is. "..It's the omen of death." Harry looked with an expression of fright but before Hermione could say anything I already threw my two cents in.
" Well that's a load of rubbish." At that moment everyone looked at me. "I'm sorry your name dear?" Trelawney tried to say in a foggy voice. "Jasmine Lupin." "Ah yes you've grown, well I'm sorry my dear but in all the years I've known you I never really could see a strong aura around you."
At this Sarge started laughing out loud. "Well professor I'm sorry you feel this way." At that moment the bell ran and Hermione came running up to me. "That was great; I wish I had a chance at her."
"Ah Hermione I have a feeling you will get your chance if she's going to act like this."
When we got to transfiguration we saw Emily waiting outside her class. "JASMINE! This is so cool! Except we have homework but it's not too hard. I'll see you at lunch!"
Emily happily skipped away with some girls. "Well I'm glad she made some friends want to go with her to her free period?"
"Naw I wanna see this." So we took a table in front of Harry's table towards the front. Harry looked a little freaked out still so I thought maybe I'd try and make him feel a bit better.
"Oh Harry don't worry, she doesn't know what she's talking about. You will be fine I guarantee it." Harry gave a small smile. I felt bad though because of all throughout class everyone was staring at him. They even missed McGonagall transform to a cat and back in front of our eyes. Sadly only Sarge and I clapped like crazy at it.
"Now usually I get a better reaction to that what happened!" Then McGonagall looked at everyone's graves faces. "Alright who did Sybil Say is dying this year?" Harry looked up at this. "She does this every year?"
McGonagall started laughing yes now if everyone can turn to the front Animagi are people who…." Apparently if that didn't work nothing would. Poor Harry, I wish there was a way I could help him.
The days started passing in blurs till Thursday when everyone's favorite lesson was here: D.A. I think it was more everyone to finally see what Lupins class is like because from what everyone has said, this is will be intense. Sarge eventually started coming with me to more classes than Emily because she seemed to have gained a lot of friends in all the houses and he thought myn were a little more challenging. Though her being best friends with a girl named Cassie Meyer in Slytherin made some Gryffindors turn their nose up, I thought she was rather nice and so did Remus. I don't really get this house rivalry too much because Remus always told us that you can't judge a book by a cover. Not all people in each house are the perfect candidate through and through.
"Boggarts like Dark enclosed spaces but can anyone tell me what it is?" Lupin was walking around us all standing up in front of a crazy moving wardrobe. Of course Hermione's hand was up fast and high so I didn't bother. "Boggarts are shape shifters. They take the form of what the person fears the most."
"Very good Mrs. Granger, 5 points for Gryffindor. Now the spell to get help rid of a boggarts is Riddikulus. Say it with me Ri-ddik-ulus. Now Mr. Longbottom I would like your help. What is your greatest fear? Everyone think of their fear."
My greatest fear? Well I think it would be losing my little family. Eventually during my thinking Remus was already opening the wardrobe and out came professor Snape? How is serves scary? Then he ended up wearing Neville's grandmother's clothes. Then Ronald Weasly had a giant spider come out which no offense who wouldn't be scared of that? Some girl in in Hufflepuff went up and it turned into a giant clown then into a jack in the box. But then Harry went up and Remus threw himself in front of it so it turned into the Full moon. "Riddikulus. I'm sorry everyone but I think that's it for today."
"I'll meet you at lunch I need to help Emily with something." Sarge went running ahead of everyone leaving me to wait for Hermione and the boys. "Jasmine you didn't get a chance to go either did you? What would your fear be?" Hermione said to Harry and me. "Dementors." Harry shuddered at the thought. "I guess seeing my family gone. I couldn't stand it." Harry gave me a small smile till he changed the subject to how Hermione's has to be a Failed test.
Eventually I was sitting in the common room listening to Emily tell me and Sarge about something that Cassie said was funny. "Actually Emily I think I'm gone to go find Dad. I have a question on an essay he assigned."
"Oh alright Jasmine, Sarge would you like to play chess….." I really just wanted to take a walk around the castle and see what it looks like till I ran into a familiar face to fall flat on my butt. "Oh, Hello Jasmine let me help you up."
"Thank you professor Dumbledore. What are you doing out here?"
Dumbledore just smiled while his eyes did that familiar twinkle. "Actually I was coming to see you and ask how Hogwarts is for you. Would you like to walk the grounds?"
"Of course professor and my classes are going great too, I really think I'm gone to like it here."
"I had no doubt in my mind you wouldn't Jasmine. Emily seems to be enjoying herself too. I see she has made a strong friendship with Mrs. Meyer. You know this is one of my favorite things about the school is the grounds. I love to look out on the lake." I really took this chance to notice that we somehow ended up in front of the lake already. I could see the sun starting to set behind some clouds in the distance and feel the September breeze fly past us.
"You know when you were about 5 it was the first time you stayed the weekend here with Emily. I remember you wanting to have a camp out So Hagraid tried to set up a tent next to his hut for you. You woke in the middle of the night scared and ran into His hut to hide from the 'monster' you heard outside which was really just some students out of bed. Gave Minerva quite the scare when she awoke to find you gone, but it was funny to see a little girl take over a half giant's entire bed to where he had to sleep on his couch." Dumbledore started chuckling at the memory.
"I remember telling Serves that for my 7th birthday I wanted to see a Unicorn so him and Remus took us into the forbidden forest and let us ride one." I turned to look at the forest smiling at the thought. For an hour then me and Dumbledore just walked around the grounds chatting about old memories. It seemed though whenever we came across students either sitting around or walking by they looked at Albus vary shocked.
" Professor are the students not use to seeing you on the grounds or something?" Dumbledore started laughing. "No I guess not but I think the weirder thing is me walking with a student."
"Well that's just weird." Dumbledore started chuckling again "If you say so but it seems to be getting late and I see Harry over there, Why not walk to the common room with him. I had a very enjoyable evening Mrs. Lupin. Stop by anytime." Dumbledore started walking away "Wait professor! Maybe Emily and Sarge could join us next week same time and place?" Dumbledore smiled. "I would enjoy meeting him. Remus and Serves could join us for tea even. Goodnight." I watched Dumbledore walk away so I turned to run over to Harry staring out over the lake to watch the end of the sun set.
"I think this is about to become one of my newest favorite places around here. The view is just breath taking at this time of day." Harry didn't even more his eyes from the horizon till the last of the suns rays were finally behind the clouds and the stars were up in the sky.
"Have a nice chat with Dumbledore?" Harry turned to look at me with a weird look. "I told you all already, Most of the teachers are family friends. If you'd like to join us next week Emily and Sarge are coming." Harry made a small smile on his face. "We shall see. I love the stars and the stories they tell in the constellations." Then he started to look up and sat behind me so our heads were touching on the ground finally. "You know Harry, the stars are used for much more than that in some cultures. I'm not talking about that junk Trelawney says in class either. Some even think you can tell the future in it."
"Then what do you think the stars say for our future for this weekend?" I started smiling bigger.
"I believe they say that it's gone to be a slow weekend because of no homework tomorrow." Harry stared laughing then.
"Then maybe we could do this tomorrow tonight too and I can show you the constellations and you can tell me more of the future. For now though we should get in before we get into trouble."
Harry helped me out and we started racing to the common which he won and I say he cheated still. We both tumbled into the common room laughing at ourselves. "Harry did you see filches face when he stopped chasing us!" Harry couldn't stop laughing till he sat on the couch "Ya that was great."
We finally stopped laughing and just talked about classes till the last 7th year finally packed up his bag and went to bed. I looked at my watch to notice it was 11:45. "Hey Harry I'm going to get some sleep before classes tomorrow. I had a really fun night and can't wait to hang out another day. Goodnight."
"Alright I'll see you in the morning then Goodnight Jasmine." I started walking up the steps hoping that Hermione was asleep and would be able to notice this huge grin on my face. Another thing might be that if I maybe stayed on the stairs a second longer I might have been able to see the same expression on Harrys face heading up the stairs with a spring in his step. Then I may have also seen a Fairy come visible and let out a long sigh and stare out into night with an unreadable expression on his face.
