Jean's Tale
By Rurple101


Chapter Six


Jean walked back to the compartment quietly, her eyes free of the red rings and her appearance was rewarded by a quickly combed hair look. She was about to enter the compartment when she spotted that Severus had sat down in her vacated seat.

What should she do? She debated.

But before she could make up her mind, Severus and Lily looked up at her through the glass. Jean glowered at Severus before walking further up the carriage before he could come and goad her some more.

She was halfway up the carriage when she spotted a compartment with two girls and three boys. They looked like first years and she knocked on the glass. They let her in and she sat down.

"Hi" she said, deciding to introduce herself. "I'm Jean. Are you first years as well?"

The boy sat in front of her nodded, he looked well fed and had sandy ear length hair, surrounding his dimpled face. He held a strong Irish accent.

"Yeah, should I introduce the gang? I'm Danny Hodges. This is Cedric Larkin, Philip Oarlock and the twin sisters; Delia and Celia Writhrock."

"Nice to meet you" Jean said, noting every new person she saw. The two girl twins were both dimpled like Danny, had white blonde hair, short sharp noses and wide bluebell eyes. Cedric was handsome, even in his young age at the moment and had deep expressive green years, a lot darker than Lily's. He winked at her and Philip, next to him rolled his eyes. He seemed similar to Remus except his hair was shorter and pitch black, like Severus's.


It was pitch dark outside when Jean departed from the compartment containing her new gang of friends. They were all (as far as she could tell) as intelligent as she was (but maybe less of a bookworm) and she hoped that she'd come across them once settled at Hogwarts.

She was cautious approaching the compartment and when she looked through the glass, Lily and Severus had vanished and only the three boys remained. She opened the door and came inside without invitation, walking over to her truck.

James jumped when she came in. "You're lucky, you hadn't come any earlier" he yelped. "We've only just changed into our robes!"

"I can tell" she muttered. She looked at him "You have dirt on the end of your nose by the way."

James checked his reflection hurriedly of the window.

Sirius and Remus smirked at her.

"That prat came in here earlier" Sirius scowled. His handsome young face looked unpleasant when he did. "What's his name? Snivellus?"

Jean snorted at his lack of imagination.
