Disclaimer: I Don't Own Anything to Do With Harry Potter.
Chapter 4: Conversations
Jasmine opened her eyes and found herself staring into the eyes of a red headed girl she didn't recognize at first, but then remembered how the second year Hufflepuff's thought she was the heir of Slytherin.
"Uhm, Susan, what are you here for?" asked Jasmine.
"Please excuse my niece for her lack of boundaries, but she wanted to say something to you before I start my interview with you." said a woman.
"I'm sorry I'm not giving any interviews. For one I have to pee really bad and two I don't know you…wait…Susan, do I remember you mentioning last year that your Aunt was the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?" asked Jasmine.
"Yep." said Susan laughing.
"Miss Potter go to the bathroom before you have an accident. Madam Bones has some questions for you and then we'll talk about your changes." said Madam Pomfrey while bustling over.
Jasmine hurried out of bed and almost lost her balance because of the weight she'd lost. She guessed there was a lot to talk about with her transition. She walked in the bathroom and suddenly remembered she didn't know what to do so she cracked the door open.
"Madam Pomfrey, can Hermione come in here?" asked Jasmine.
"Hermione went to the library." said Madam Pomfrey.
"Susan can you…?" said Jasmine trailing off.
Susan got up an went to the bathroom and Jasmine whispered in her ear, "I need you to help me pee."
Susan turned red and nodded before telling her Aunt she'd be right back.
Jasmine ran into the stall and sat down on the toilet.
"How do I go?" asked Jasmine.
"It's the same concept as before. You need to relax the muscles down there and it'll just happen." said Susan.
Jasmine started relaxing and sure enough she started going.
"Thank you, Susan. So what did you want to tell me?" asked Jasmine as she came out of the stall.
"I wanted to apologize for second year, but first you need to look at yourself, Jasmine." said Susan.
Susan grabbed Jasmine's hand and took her to the sink and had her look in the mirror. Jasmine gasped. She noticed that her Godmother had already lengthened and styled her hair. She also must've done a make-up charm. Then there were her breasts. Since she had just started puberty she assumed she wouldn't have much, but she was close to Susan's size already. She stared at the mirror and tears started to flow as she started crying.
"Why are you crying, Jasmine. You're beautiful." said Susan.
"Beautiful." echoed Jasmine.
Jasmine cleaned her face and washed her hands and started to go back to her bed.
"Jasmine Potter, I, Susan Amelia Bones do formerly apologize for my part in the slandering of you during the Heir of Slytherin fiasco last year. In addition to the apology, House Potter may ask one favor of House Bones." said Susan.
"I accept your apology, but I don't need a favor from House Bones." said Jasmine.
"The favor is yours. You don't have to tell us what you want now, but we are in your debt until you choose what you want from House Bones." said Susan.
Jasmine and Susan came out of the bathroom to Madam Pomfrey and Madam Bones waiting.
"What took you so long?" asked Madam Pomfrey.
"I was looking at myself in the mirror then I cried a bit and Susan apologized for last year's comments about the Heir of Slytherin." said Jasmine.
"Well Madam Bones has some important information for you and some questions. I'll be back after she's done." said Madam Pomfrey.
Jasmine got back in the bed while Susan started to head out of the Hospital Wing.
"Please stay, Susan." said Jasmine.
"What we're about to talk about is quite personal." said Madam Bones.
"I'm ok with it if it's allowed. It would be nice to have a friend here." said Jasmine.
"As long as you behave, you can stay, Susan." said Madam Bones.
"Thank you. Am I correct in assuming that this is about the abuse from my relatives?" asked Jasmine.
"Yes. I need for you to give me a copy of your memory of the abuse. I apologize, but you'll be reliving some of the trauma and pain you felt." said Madam Bones.
"Ok." said Jasmine grabbing hold of Susan's hand.
"What I need you to do is think of all the times you've been hurt by your relatives, including your cousin. When you have a strong enough hold on the memories I'll place my wand to your temple and retrieve the copy of the memories." said Madam Bones.
Jasmine nodded and started to think of everything that happened to her at the Dursley's. Every hit and broken bone to verbal and emotional abuse as well. She started shaking and a single tear ran down her cheek. Madam Bones then took the copy of the memory and waited for Jasmine to calm down. When she finally stopped shaking, Madam Bones said,
"Your relatives are all in holding cells waiting to be tried. Dudley can be tried as a juvenile or we can place him with his Aunt Marge. What I need you to decide is if you want them tried in our court or the Muggle's."
"I won't be like them and make them spend years in Azkaban. Let them be tried in the Muggle courts. As for Dudley, go ahead and turn him over to Marge." said Jasmine.
"Why are you being so lenient with them?" asked Susan to which Madam Bones gave her a stern glare.
"I'm not. Not really. Marge spoils Dudley, but she won't take him in unless he does work for her and I know Petunia and Vernon will get a lot of time in prison. There's no need to subject them to Azkaban where they're around wizards and witches." said Jasmine.
Susan surprise Jasmine with a hug.
"I'm so sorry for what you went through. I'll say it again. House Bones owes you any favor you want. I'm ashamed that I added to the verbal abuse you were already receiving." said Susan.
"Favor? Susan tell me you didn't do an official apology and say that House Bones will give House Potter anything they want." said Madam Bones.
"Uhm." said Susan.
"Susan! I've told you that you have to be careful of what you say and how you say it!" yelled Madam Bones.
"It's not a big deal. I didn't intend to ask for anything." said Jasmine.
"Miss Potter, Jasmine, have you ever had any lessons on House rules pertaining to the Heir and Head of House?" asked Madam Bones.
"Why would I have?" asked Jasmine.
"You are the Heir to the Potter family and when you come of age you'll be the Head." said Madam Bones.
"I can be the Head of House still?" asked Jasmine referring to her change.
"You mean because you are a girl? You are the last Potter so girl or not you'd be the Head of House. Susan's in the same situation. She's the Heir and will be the Head of House Bones when she turns 17. Right now I have conservatorship over the House and am acting as Head until then. Which brings me back to what Susan has done. She promised you a favor from House Bones. Not from her, but the whole House. You could literally ask for anything from money to a future marriage contract. You said you didn't intend to ask for anything, but because of the wording of the apology something has to be given. Until you make your choice House Bones will be allied with House Potter against your enemies and I must tell you that scares me with as much trouble you attract." said Madam Bones.
Jasmine knew she didn't mean to be mean and had to agree that trouble did seem to come after her a lot.
"Susan, it's time for us to go. We need to talk about this. It was nice meeting you, Jasmine. Oh, Susan is having more lessons over the summer. If you'd like I can arrange for you to have them with her." said Madam Bones.
"I'll ask Professor McGonagall and see what she says. Thank you, Madam Bones and thank you for your help earlier and for your hand, Susan." said Jasmine releasing Susan's hand causing them both to blush.
"You're welcome, Jasmine. I'll see you in a couple days after the New Year." said Susan before leaving with Madam Bones.
Madam Pomfrey came out of her office and sat down in the chair beside Jasmine's bed. She told her that there weren't any complications with the transition and gave her some potions she'd have to take for a month before asking if she had any questions.
"When can I get some new clothes and robes?" asked Jasmine.
"Professor McGonagall said she'd take you tomorrow afternoon so you'll be ready for classes after the New Year." said Madam Pomfrey.
"When do you think I'll have my first period?" asked Jasmine.
"Within the next week. We do have potions you can take for any discomfort you have and I'm sure Professor McGonagall will allow you a day of missed classes for your first one. Now there's a checkup once a month for all female students where you'll receive a birth control potion." said Madam Pomfrey.
"Madam Pomfrey. I assure you sex is not even remotely on my mind right now. I mean I don't even know who I'd be attracted to." said Jasmine.
"Be that as it may you'll receive the potion every month. Do you have any other questions?" asked Madam Pomfrey to which Jasmine shook her head.
"Very well. When Hermione comes back you can visit with her for one hour. Your body has been through a lot and I want you to rest." said Madam Pomfrey.
"Thank you for everything, Madam Pomfrey." said Jasmine.
"You're welcome, Jasmine." Said Madam Pomfrey before going back to her office.
Jasmine decided to go to sleep since she didn't know when Hermione would leave the library. The conversation about birth control had her thinking about who she did find attractive. Ron was growing into a good looking boy, but Hermione would murder her. Draco was cute in his own pompous way. Why do the good looking ones have to be jerks? Then she thought of Susan blushing and remembered that she had blushed too. Does Susan like me? Do I like Susan? Jasmine finally fell asleep with one last thought.
'Why is my life always complicated.'
Author's Note: Before anyone is mad about Susan I don't really know who Jasmine will end up with. Please leave a review with a suggestion on who to pair her with.
