CHAPTER 14: Tradition

Jessie slowly walked down the stairs to common room, she peeked to ensure Seamus wasn't around, when she say that he wasn't she walked into the common room.

"Hurry up!" Fred whined "You're SO slow!"

Jessie ruffled Fred's hair before sitting on the floor in front of George "I was tired last night."

"Long night?" George asked.

Jessie leaned her head back to look up at him "Not persay. Just draining."

"Ahh." George nodded.

Jessie tilted her head back towards the fire place at the same time Ron and Harry came bursting into the Common Room.

"Took you two long enough." Fred grumbled.

"We where tired!" Ron defended, sitting on the plushy chair closest to George.

"So was Jessie and she was up before you lot."

"Leave me out of this!" Jessie complained.

Later that afternoon Jesse and Danya where walking across the thick snow covered ground by the lake.

"I still can't get over how beautiful this place is!" Danya smiled.

"Same here." Jessie replied.

"Oh FIRSTIE!" A voice called behind them.

"Shit!" Jessie gasped, diving behind the large tree."

"What?" Danya asked curiously glancing between Jessie and the approaching twins.

"Every Christmas since I was 11 Fred and George have chucked me in a snow drift. It's pretty much a tradition now."

"So why are you hiding if its a tradition?"

"Because." Jessie smirked "Me trying to get away from them is a tradition too!"

Jessie suddenly bolted out from behind the tree.

"Grab her!" George shouted running after her, Fred on his heels.

Danya simply smirked shaking her head, before heading off to find Ginny.

Jessie sprinted across the snow covered grounds.

"You can't run forever Jessie!" Fred called, still a ways behind her.

"Wanna bet!" Jessie shouted back, glancing over her shoulder "GAH!"

George was suddenly in front her and she ran directly into his chest, knocking him too the ground.

Jessie tired to scrambled off him, but he grabbed her around the middle and rolled over so she was effectively pinned underneath him, despite the cold snow on her back, Jessie felt hot. Especially when she realized their hips where touching.

"Got her!" George said triumphantly as Fred reached them.

Together the twins pulled Jessie to her feet.

"Snow dunking time firstie!" Fred grinned pushing Jessie towards a large snowbank.

"No no!" Jessie exclaimed digging her heels into the snow.

"George if you will." Fred said.

"Gladly."

"George no!" Jessie cried as George scooped up her feet.

Jessie squirmed trying to get away from the twins.

"Ladies first firstie!" Fred cackled as he and George chucked her into the snowbank.

"Say it again Harry?"

"Come seek us where our voices sound."

"Well that's the Black Lake. That's obvious."

"An hour long you'll have to look."

"Again, obvious. Thought admittedly potentially problematic."

"Potentially problematic? When was the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour, Hermione?"

"What if it has something to do with the Merpeople?" Jessie guessed "I mean it was them singing."

"If you can call it that." Ron snorted.

Jessie sniggered.

Hermione shot Jessie and Ron dirty looks "We have to figure out what it is!"

"We are!" Jessie said holding up the book that was open on her lap.

Hermione grumbled before going back to scanning the bookshelf.

"Weasley. Granger." Moody said coming down the asile, causing all four teenagers to jump. "Professor Mcgonagall would like you to go to her office. Right now."

"But sir!" Hermione protested "The second task is tomorrow."

"I'm sure Mr. Potter's prepared enough and could do with a good nights rest. Off with you. Now!"

Ron and Hermione jumped and quickly left the library.

"Longbottom!" Moody called "Help Mr. Potter and Ms. Black put away their books."

Moody left as Neville walked toward them. Jessie hopped off the desk she'd been sitting on and began putting away what books she could.

"You know." Neville said reading the spine of one of the books "If you're, interested in plants, you should use Goshawks Guide to Herbology. There's someone in Tibet who's growing gravity resistant trees."

Harry sighed "No offence Neville, but I don't really care about plants. Now, if there's a Tibetan turnip that will help me breath underwater for an hour, great! But otherwise-"

"I don't know about turnips, but you could always use gillyweed."

Jessie grinned "You're brilliant Neville!"

Neville blushed "Thanks."

Together the trio put the books away in record time. They headed back to the common room, then Jessie split off to head to bed. When she got into the dorm Lavender and Pavarti where having a hushed conversation, which immediately stopped when Jessie walked in.

"Hi." Jessie said awkwardly, then glanced at Hermione's empty bed "Where's Hermione?"

"Don't know." Lavender said pulling herself off Pavarti's bed "Thought she was with you."

Jessie sighed before quickly changing into her PJ's, and crawling into bed. She laid awake for about an hour, Pavarti and Lavender resumed their hushed conversation just as she dozed off.

"So you're absolutely sure about this?" Jessie asked Neville the next morning as she, Harry and Neville headed down the Lake.

"Absolutely!"

"For an hour?" Harry asked.

"Most likely."

"Most likely!" Harry and Jessie said in unison.

"Well, there is some debated among herbologists about its effectiveness in fresh water as opposed to salt water."

"You're telling me this now!" Harry hissed.

Neville shrugged slightly.

The Gillyweed worked! Not only had Harry saved Ron, but he also saved Fleur Delacour's little sister.

Jessie laughed as she followed Harry through the woods, Hagrid, Ron, and Hermione where ahead of them singing the school song.

"Do you really think I can win this thing?" Harry asked.

Jessie threw her arm around Harry's shoulders. "Of course I do Harry!"

Harry smiled and looped his arm loosely around Jessie's waist as they continued to walk.

"What's that?" Jessie asked hesitating slightly as they neared a tree.

Harry slowly pulled away from Jessie and walked closer to the tree. Jessie followed him around the tree.

"Oh my god!" Jessie gasped.

Leaning against the tree was Barty Crouch. He was dead.

"HAGRID!" Harry shouted.

I went with Jessie discovering Crouch with Harry because I will use that later on :)

Review! :D
