Chapter Six- Transferring and Transforming

Monday had come quickly. At breakfast all the girls sat down beside each other and began to talk about their dates. As soon as it was Casey's turn John and his friends came trampling over. John had had a crush on Jessica since the beginning of the school year.

"Hey Jess. What's shaking?" He asked.

"Nothing that involves you!" Jessica said sharply, "And its Jessica to you!"

"I love it when you're angry!" He said coolly back.

Jessica made a fist at him, like she was about to punch him but someone caught her by the hand.

"This guy annoying you?" Nick asked.

"Yes." Jessica replied.

Nick asked the guy to leave Jessica alone for the rest of the year and if he said no, he would have the worst year ever. John and his friends went running back to the Hufflepuff table.

"How did you know to come down?" Jessica asked.

"Well I had something to tell you but I decided it could what until he was gone." Nick explained, "Anyway, I switched all my classes to the ones you're taking."

"How did you do that?" Jessica asked.

"Well I did have some help from a teacher. But in the end it turned out ok, because we're taking every class together." Nick explained.

"Well we better get going because we have Transfiguration, and it starts in 3 minutes!" Jessica exclaimed.

They both gathered up their belongings and raced out the door.

When they reached the classroom they had 1 minute to spare so the went inside and sat with Riley, Casey, and Ginny. You see, 5 people could fit at one table.

"Since when are you taking Transfiguration with us?" Ginny asked.

"Since I changed my schedule to be the exact same as all of yours." Nick explained.

At that exact moment somebody walked through the doors. But it wasn't Professor McGonagall. Jessica looked up and gave a gasp, and then toppled off her seat. Every one looked at her. Then they turned their attention to the substitute teacher.

"Good morning everyone," the teacher said, "My name is Miss. Hampton. I'm Jessica's Aunt."

Eight days later Jessica woke up in the Hospital Wing. She was icy cold but she felt like flames when you touched her.

"Jessica! Are you alright?" Ginny asked worried.

"Yea I'm fine. Is my aunt still teaching Transfiguration?" Jessica asked.

"No. Professor McGonagall came back yesterday. You've been in hear for eight days." Ginny answered.

"What's to day?" Jessica asked.

"It's Tuesday. O, I have to tell you that Professor Dumbledore made an announcement last night that since everyone has been working really hard the whole school gets to take three weeks off of school." Ginny said.

"Awesome!" Jessica said very exited. Then turning to Miss.Pomfry (A/N- I don't really know how to spell it so bare with me ok?) Jessica asked, "When can I go?"

"After you eat, and get dressed." Miss.Pomfry said.

Jessica quickly and her food then she got dressed. Jessica and Ginny practically ran out the door to go back to the common room.

Its Friday. The whole school was so exited when their last class of the day was about to end, but Jessica felt like it was just starting. Just then the bell rang and all the students packed up their stuff and headed to their common room. But not Jessica, she headed strait for the library so she could start her home work.
