Hey guys! Got you another update! This chapter is mostly just the family bonding with the Jacksons. Nothing to exciting. Hope you enjoy!
Dinner with Guests
Everyone took a seat at the now enlarged table. After hearing Sirius invite the Jacksons to stay for dinner he immediately made the table bigger to fit everyone before they came into the dining room. Narcissa had quickly frozen every moving picture in the house so now no magic would be exposed.
The seating started with Sirius at the head of the table. Starting on his right was Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Jesse, Hermione, Seth, Bella, Edward, Emmett, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Jake with Renesmee on his lap, Leah, Brady, Colin, Paul, Emily, and Sam. On Sirius' left was Raymond, Lisa, Delante, Chris, Kylie, Draco, Harry, Blaise, Theo, Padma, Luna, Alice, Jasper, George, Fred, Embry, Quil, Jared, and Narcissa. At the other end of the table sat Remus.
"Hello Mrs. and Mr. Jackson." Alice said cheerfully from her place down the table.
"How do you know each other?" Esme asked politely.
"Mom's the school nurse while dad's the history teacher." Chris said with a slight frown.
"Try not to sound too excited, son." Raymond laughed and Chris gave him a sheepish look.
As dinner was served chatter escalated throughout the table.
"So, how old are you guys?" Hermione asked Kylie and Chris.
"I'm seventeen." Chris replied. "My sister's sixteen." Kylie nodded.
"So am I and almost every other kid at this table." Hermione laughed and Kylie smiled again.
"I'm six!" Delante yelled from between his siblings.
"Me too!" Jesse yelled excitedly and they both giggled. Those nearby laughed at their happiness. Hermione turned her head and saw Draco with his mouth full of lasagna.
"Don't choke yourself." Hermione laughed.
Draco glared at her. "Don dudge meh." He said through his mouth full.
Kylie and Chris looked at him confused. "He said don't judge me." Hermione translated before turning back to Draco. "You look like Ron." She said. His hand holding a fork full of lasagna froze halfway to his mouth as he stared at her with wide eyes causing her to giggle.
Swallowing, he said, "If you ever say that to me again you will have a face full of mashed potatoes." He warned.
Hermione smirked. "You. Look. Like. Ron." She said slowly.
Draco reached for the serving spoon in the mashed potatoes bowl when Sirius spoke up. "Don't even think about it." He said. Hermione, Seth, Kylie, and Chris laughed at his put out expression.
"Remember, I know where you live." He warned her.
She smirked. "Ooh, I'm shivering in my boots." She mocked and he stuck his tongue out.
"I have a question." Chris said suddenly. "I know the Cullens and I've seen those boys around La Push beach before, but what about the rest of you? Are you all related?" he asked.
"Christopher, don't be rude." His mother scolded.
"Oh, don't worry. It's an innocent question." Sirius said and the whole table went quiet, wanting to know what he would tell them. "Practically all of these kids are adopted. Harry is my godson who lost his parents at a very young age. Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Jesse were all adopted by Hermione's family, but their father died in the war when they were five and their mother died last year, so I adopted them since they were Harry's best friends and they had no other family." He said and the Jacksons looked sad at all the death.
"Draco and Luna are my real children." Narcissa added and all heads snapped to her. "Blaise and Theo joined our family a few years back, both coming from pretty abusive households." She said.
"I adopted Fred, George, and Padma. Fred and George's mom was never in the picture and their father is preparing for the Britain war coming up. As their godfather I took them in. As for Padma I adopted her from India when she was a baby." Remus explained.
"With the upcoming war and some family problems we decided to get away from the mess and move. So, Hermione got in touch with her old friend Bella and I called my cousin Billy and here we are." Sirius said cheerfully.
The Jacksons gaped at the large family, or in Delante's case, focused on making sure him mashed potatoes were really mashed.
"Wow." Raymond said, snapping out of his shock. "You guys have quite the story. We're sorry for all of your loses." He said.
"It's okay. We're here to make new beginnings." Remus smiled, as did everyone else. Everyone sat in silence, going over what was said.
Chris broke the silence. "Lasagna Boy, can you please pass the rolls." He asked and the table erupted in laughter as Draco scowled.
Later that night everyone was outside. The boys were all playing football, the adults were talking at the picnic table, the girls except Hermione and Kylie were sitting in the grass talking, and Jesse and Delante were playing in the sand box.
Hermione and Kylie were talking while sitting on the swing set. Kylie was telling her about the people around town.
"It probably won't be long before the Newton family make their way down here. Dana Newton is a pest when it comes for the perfect girl for her son, Mike. I feel bad for him because he's actually not that bad of a guy. He just acts like he owns the world when he's in front of his peers because that's what his mother believes; that the Newton's own the world. But when he's in private he's actually really nice." Kylie explained.
Hermione nodded. "Sounds like his mom puts too much pressure on him. Yay, can't wait for that visit." She said sarcastically.
Kylie laughed. "Don't worry, I live at the first house on the road so I'll call you if I see them coming." She said.
"Thanks." Hermione laughed.
"Oh! And there's also Jessica Stanley." She hissed out.
"I take it you don't like her." Hermione said.
"I hate her!" she exclaimed. "She's hated me fifth grade."
"Why?"
"Because she's had this major crush on this boy named Cody Garcia. He was a very popular boy. Well, one day while I was walking to class she tripped me and my stuff went flying. I landed flat on my face! I was so embarrassed because everyone was laughing. Everyone except Cody. He helped me up and started yelling at Jessica about how that was really mean and so was she. He helped me gather my things and took me to my class. Ever since we've been best friends and Jessica has made it her personal mission to make my life a living hell." She said sadly.
"Don't let her get you down. You have Cody, right?" Hermione said, trying to cheer her up.
She smiled. "Yeah, most of the time. Other times he's too busy drooling over our new friend, Tatiana. She just moved here at the beginning of the year. Both of their heads are way too far up their butts to notice that they like each other." She rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Hermione smirked. "And is there anyone you like?" she asked slyly.
Kylie snorted. "There's no one good enough around this town to like." She said. They both laughed. "You know, my friends and I hang out at Cody's mom's restaurant every week day around twelve. It's kind of our hang out. You should come sometime so I can introduce you to my friends. I'm sure they'd love to meet you. Maybe you could bring some of your siblings too." She asked nervously, wringing her fingers together.
Hermione smiled at the girl. "I'd love to meet them. I really need to make some friends outside of these nutters." She motioned to the boys who were all wrestling on the ground, even Chris.
Kylie laughed. "I would too."
"And I would love to meet this Jessica girl." Hermione said calmly, slowly smiling evilly. Kylie shivered.
I have a feeling that when they meet Jessica should pray for her life. Kylie thought anxiously before smiling at the thought.
There you go guys! What do you think of the Jacksons? In almost every Harry Potter/ Twilight story I've read Mike is always an ass hole, so I decided I wanted to go a different route. I never read the books, only watched the movies (Twilight not HP), so I don't know how he was portrayed in the books. He seemed decent in the movies. I absolutely hate Jessica, I think she's a stuck up bitch, which is funny because I love Anna Kendrick. So, hoped you liked this chapter, REVIEW!
VOTE: I putting up a poll to see who you want to be paired up with Harry. The choices are Padma, Angela, Claire (who I'll obviously make older if chosen), or Pansy who I'm planning to bring in later in the story. So go on my profile to vote! It'll probably be open for a while.
Lots of Love,
