Chapter 10
Sister's love
One weeks into June and Olivia was convinced she was going to burn to death. At supper time, Olivia made her way down to the great hall, hoping for a big cold meal. Suddenly Jane, who wasn't paying attention, smacked into Olivia, causing both of the girls to fall down.
"Hey watch it…" Jane said as she looked up.
"Oh, um never mind" Jane said when she realized it was Olivia.
Jane got up and walked into the great hall. Olivia was confused, Jane never gave up an opportunity to yell at her. However things between them had been off since the events of Christmas.
The next day in Defence against the dark arts class, Jane and Olivia were paired up. They were practicing casting stupefy. After a few times of doing this on each other, they took a break and watched the others. When one of the slytherin girls caused the bagel in Abborth's hand to explode, Jane and Olivia burst out laughing.
"Did you see professor Dumbledore's face" Olivia asked laughing.
"Yeah, but it was Jayce's face that was priceless" Jane stated laughing so hard her stomach hurt.
"Reminds me of that time when mom…" Olivia trailed off.
"Um let's get back to the spell" Jane suggested after an awkward moment of silence.
On her way to lunch Olivia was looking through a dusty old photo album. Then two slytherin boys came, grabbed the photo album out of her hands, and then took off with it. Olivia knew there was no point trying to defeat slytherins, so she just walked into the great hall.
At the Slytherin table, the two boys were sitting across from Jane, they were laughing at the pictures in the album. Jane looked at it and immediately recognised it. She took it from them and approached the Griffandore table. When she did the whole table went silent and were staring at her.
"Liv, this is yours" Jane said and handed her sister the album.
"Um…thanks" Olivia thanked unsure how to react.
"Don't mention it, I know it's all you have left of mum" Jane stated then walked back to the Slytherin table.
"What was all that about" Abby asked, with her arm still in-front of Swan for protection.
"It's just an old album that's all" Olivia said.
That night Ali watched Olivia, who was by the window looking through the album. After a moment Ali got up and sat down beside her. She looked out the window for a moment pretending to be watching the night sky.
"Can I see it" Ali whispered.
Olivia nodded and flipped back to the front page. There, was a picture of Umbridge sitting in a rocking chair. In her arms she held baby Olivia, Jane and Nutcracker. They couldn't have been older than four months in the picture. Standing beside them was Goyal, he was looking down at them.
On the next page was Jane, Nutcracker and Olivia, they were about 9 months old. In-front of each of them was a cauldron. The next page was at the park, Jane Olivia and Nutcracker were in the baby swings they were about 11 months old. Behind them Umbridge and Goyal were pushing them.
On another page was two year old Jane Olivia and Nutcracker, they were in gringotts bank with Umbridge and Goyal. It was the day they opened a bank for Jane Olivia and Nutcracker. On the ride through the bank the three of them were laughing, only magic children would enjoy such a dangerous and scary ride.
Another page contained a picture of their first day of home schooling. (Magical Parents are responsible for their child's education of mortal knowledge up until the age of 11 where they would begin their magic education at Hogwarts.) In the picture the three of them were sitting at desks and Umbridge was writing on the chalk board. Ali loved how witches and wizards having pictures that move, instead of pictures that stay the same.
The last picture in the album was Jane Olivia and Nutcracker's sixth birthday. The children were ripping open their presents. Umbridge and Goyal were beside them trying to keep up with disposing of the wrapping paper. Ali didn't notice it at first, but after a closer look she spotted a bracelet on Umbridge's wrist.
"Is that the bracelet that…" Ali asked.
"Yes, mum's birthday is…was a few days before mine" Olivia said.
"And…and it was me who bought her…who bought the…the bracelet" Olivia revealed.
"Oh, where did you get it" Ali asked.
"Burden and Burks" Olivia informed.
"Isn't that in Knockturn Alley" Ali asked.
"Yeah, mum told us never to go in there, that it was filled with dark magic, I wish I had listened" Olivia stated and closed the album.
The next day after the defence against the dark arts class ended, Olivia pulled Jane aside. Olivia wanted to talk with Jane as sisters. She was dying to know exactly why Jane saved her from their mums killing curse.
"What do you want" Jane asked.
"Can we talk please" Olivia asked.
"Fine but make it quick" Jane agreed.
"Why, why did you save me when mum tried to kill me" Olivia asked.
"Liv, no matter what you're still my sister, I couldn't let mum kill you" Jane replied then walk to the door, but when she got there she added "I'm trying you know, to change" then without another word she left.
At lunch Olivia told the others about her conversation with Jane. Nobody believed Jane, especially Swan who reminded them of Jane had done to her. However nobody was expecting what was about to happen.
"Let's go for a walk by the lake" Ali suggested.
"Ok but don't leave me by myself" Swan stated.
"Hey Rebecca, you and your cousin and sister want to tag along" James asked.
"Yeah sure, I have this odd feeling" Rebecca responded.
Rebecca used her twin telepathy to contact Rosalie who was the Ravenclaw table. Rosalie and Sunny joined the others at the Griffandore table. Then Rebecca, Rosalie, Rhiannon, James, Ali, Abby, Olivia, Billy, Swan and Sunny left the great hall together and headed down to the lake. For the first 10 minutes everything was fine and they were all laughing. However the nice friends hanging out moment was ruined by the ugly Nutcracker appearance.
"Olivia Fudge Goyal, what have you done to our sister" Nutcracker yelled with his wand raised.
"Nutcracker Vincent Goyal, what on earth are you talking about" Olivia asked with her wand at the ready.
"You turned our sister good, I saw her having fun with you in class" Nutcracker yelled.
"Stupefy" Swan casted sending Nutcracker flying backwards.
"You'll pay for that one Creevey, Avada Kedavra" Nutcracker casted towards Swan.
Then all of the sudden out of nowhere, Jane came racing and pushed Swan out of the way just in time. The killing curse hit a snail instead. Then because Rebecca, Rosalie, Rhiannon, James, Ali, Abby, Olivia, Billy, Swan, Sunny and Olivia all had the wands raised to him, Nutcracker ran off.
"You…you saved me…I don't understand" Swan said in shock.
"Yeah well you're not that bad Creevey, hey sorry about last month" Jane surprisingly apologised.
"Me too" Swan apologised.
"You saved my little sister, you are so much more than just a slytherin" Abby stated.
The 11 of them then stayed at the lake and had a good time. Olivia and Jane made the others laughing by dancing around making chicken noises. This was done to mock how Nutcracker was too chicken and had ran off.
"My name is Nutcracker and I'm the slytherin chicken" Olivia teased.
At supper everyone was talking about Jane saving Swan. Nobody could believe it, even the teachers and Hermione were talking among themselves. Jane had been invited by the whole Griffandore house to join their table soar supper. Jane of course accepted the offer in case Nutcracker was in a revenge mood.
That night Hermione wrote a letter to Harry concerning Jane. Hermione knew Jane wouldn't be welcomed in her home anymore. Two hours after Hermione's owl came flying into her office with a letter. The letter read: Hermione, you're right about both things, Ginny and I will foster Jane- Harry.
