Jackie laughed as she entered The Great Hall, she turned around to look at her cousin and sister who were still chasing her, and bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm so sorry," she said. She turned to look at whom she bumped into, and she blushed all over again. She felt Becca and Kristie stop right behind her.
"That's all right Jackie," Snape said with a smile. His eyes were totally fixed on Jackie, he place a strand of hair behind her ear. Jackie smiled up at him. Then Snape became aware of the people around him, and behind Jackie, for example, Kristie, Becca, and ALBUS DUMBLEDORE! "Be more careful next time, Miss Leza," Snape said, he walked away to his seat.
Jackie turned to look at her cousin and sister and wanted to burst out laughing because of the look on their faces, but she spotted someone else behind them. Albus Dumbledore! He walked past Becca and Kristie and stopped right in front of Jackie, he smiled down at her, then walked off to his own seat.
Jackie walked to her usual spot on the Gryffindor table, with Becca and Kristie following close behind.
"What was that all about?" Becca asked her, Jackie just smiled.
"I'll tell you guys later, when we're in our room," she said, and took a drink out of her glass. Kristie and Becca started to complain, but they stopped.
Jackie couldn't see because she had her back to him, but Snape was glaring at Becca and Kristie.
Albus looked down the table, to his left, to look at Snape. Every five or six minute, Snape would look over at Jackie. Albus smiled, he looked over at Jackie as well, he smiled, she was sitting with her family.
Lily quickly walked over to Kristie. "Hey Kristie, have you noticed that Professor Snape hasn't stopped looking at Jackles?"
Kristie turned to glare at him. "He'd better stay away from her, or I'll tell Dumbledore."
Jackie looked at her, she'd heard. "No you won't, I know what I'm doing!"
Kristie glared again. "He's poisoned your butterbeer hasn't he?" Jackie glared back at her. Freddie and Jesse walked up behind her; they both heard what Kristie was saying.
"Leave Snape alone," Freddie said. Jesse nodded.
"Well, I go for Kristie, he SHOULD leave her alone," Lily said. They all turned to look at Becca.
"Hey you know me, I'm not going to take any side," Becca told them, they all nodded. Jackie looked over at Snape, she smiled at him, and he smiled back. Then Jackie looked back at Kristie and Lily.
"Let's go to our table Jackie, besides Daniel wants to talk to you," Freddie said.
Not Daniel! He should KNOW by now that I don't like him, and he can't stop flirting, but I do want to get away from Kristie, she's REALLY mad.
"Um...okay, let's go." Jackie said, she followed Freddie and Jesse to the Slytherin table. When Jackie sat down, most of the Slytherins slid down; they didn't like any other table sitting with them, ESPECIALLY Gryffindor. But Daniel immediately went to go with Jackie.
"Hi Jackie," he said hugging her, Jackie rolled her eyes, but gave him a fake smile.
"Hey Daniel," she said to him.
"Long time no see," he said. Again when he wasn't looking Jackie rolled her eyes.
"Oh yeah, we ONLY talked this morning," she replied. Jackie heard Freddie and Jesse laughing in their cups.
"Well babe, for me, that's too long," he said as he slipped his arm around her shoulders and put his head on her shoulder.
"Stop it," Jackie, Freddie, and Jesse said at the same time.
"Right, right, sorry," Daniel said. So instead, he slipped his arm around Anna's waist, but still kept his head on her shoulder.
"DANIEL!" Jackie said.
"Mr. Torres, I believe that the young lady told you once already to leave her alone," a sly voice from behind said. Daniel looked up into the cold stare of Professor Snape. Jackie, Freddie, and Jesse smiled up at him, but he kept his stare on Daniel.
"I'm so..." Daniel started.
"Be quiet," snapped Snape. "THAT can be issued as harassment." Jackie quickly turned to see if Kristie was listening, because if she was, she would start something too, but she left already with Lily and Becca.
"For that," Snape continued, "you will receive one week's worth of detention, and ten points off Slytherin," he smiled briefly at Jackie, Freddie, and Jesse, then looked back at Daniel. "And DON'T le me catch you doing it that again." He said as he walked off. Daniel stood up and walked away also.
Jackie felt the eyes of all the Slytherins that were there, Snape NEVER gave them THAT much detention, maybe just for an hour, never a WEEK! And 10 points? He never took more than 5! And to top it all off, it was for a GRYFFINDOR student! It was unheard of.
"Come on," Freddie said. "Let's get out of here, now." They quickly got up and left, walking outside to the garden.
"That was soo strange," Jackie said as they sat on one of the benches.
"Tell me about it," Freddie said. But soon, they started talking about Christmas and watching the snowfall.
