Twenty-Eight: Family

Sirius smiled looking over his books at her, she was reading, studying for the History of Magic test they had tomorrow. Her beautiful sapphire eyes attentive and concentrating, her perfect lips moving noiselessly reading the text to herself, he loved to watch her study.

She looked up at him and rolled her eyes. "Will you stop staring?"

He couldn't help but notice the way her eyes smiled at him even as she was scolding him. He had gotten her and she was falling for him.

"Can I ask you something Red?"

She looked up and bit her lip. "Do I have a choice?"

He grinned and shrugged leaning back in his chair lazily.

"Well you don't have to answer."

"What do you want Black?"

He smiled victoriously and chuckled. "Alright, alright, don't get that cute little arse of yours in a bunch."

With that she punched his arm quite hard, glaring at him.

"One more remark on my ass and I will give yours a swift kick."

Sirius laughed. God she was so spunky and he loved it.

"Tell me why you have an American accent?" He said finally.

"I lived with my father in America till I was 7." Jude muttered matter of fact.

It had occurred to her that maybe she shouldn't be saying anything about her family to Sirius. That maybe stating the future before it happened wasn't a good idea.

"What brought you to Hogwarts then?" He shook his hair out of his eyes.

Jude shrugged. "I have family in London."

Sirius nodded seeming to take this as an acceptable answer.

"You must not change the Future." Dumbledore's voice loomed in her mind.

Was it possible that revealing too much of her own history could change her family?

She had expected Sirius to ask about her mum and when he didn't she felt a little relieved. Jude sighed turning the page but barely reading, as she sat here cozy in the Gryffindor common room her mother was somewhere in France at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.

A/N: I thought I would reveal a bit more of Jude's past to give you a clue of where her magical abilities come from. Please R&R and thanks for the reviews last time. Today the bribe is that if you review you will get to study with a character of your own choice. Please R&R and thanks :D
