Okay, I'm sorry to keep you all waiting. Here's the next chapter! :-D

Chapter #5: Jamie Potter

*~*

If only, if only

My heart knows enough

To see you grow-up

You're my baby

My little, wonderful Jamie
*~*

Jamie was lying in bed half-asleep and half-awake. She had been awoken by that lullaby that has been haunting her in her dreams. As well, owing to the fact that her cousin is screaming for more presents was also an answer to waking her up.

Jamie lived with her Aunt Wendy and Uncle Larry Henderson and their spoiled brat of a daughter Winter Henderson. Jamie hated them so much. Jamie always thought about running away and going live with Sam or Reese, but thought better of it. Jamie was also grateful for one thing: she'd be leaving these retched people. Jamie was going to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with the rest of the Marauder Girls.

"Potter!" screeched her Aunt Wendy, making Jamie fall out of her bed. "Get down here!"

Jamie rubbed her head in pain and got up. She never wanted to go down to the living room, were Winter would brag about all of the expensive gifts that everyone had bothered to get her. Jamie bounded downstairs and saw Aunt Wendy and Uncle Larry scowling. Jamie gave a gesture with her hands, as to ask what they wanted.

"Well, make Winter's breakfast!" snapped Mrs. Henderson for no apparent reason.

Jamie scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"I'm like their stupid maid!" muttered Jamie as she entered the kitchen.

Jamie was a witch and she knew it. But she had never met her parents. She's told that both of her parents were killed in a car crash. She, however, did not believe such a lie because of a certain dream she kept having ever since she was younger. Jamie was suddenly snapped out of her vision when Winter shoved her aside.

"Ouch!" Jamie winced, loudly.

Winter ignored and stepped over Jamie, as if she was part of the stone cold floor. Jamie got up and pretended that the incident didn't happen.

"Freak!" murmured Winter as she made her way to the kitchen table.

Jamie scowled and grabbed a plate in her hands. She stepped up in front of Winter and slammed the plate on the wooden table, almost breaking it in two. Winter jumped, clutching the bottom of her chair. Jamie ignored.

Jamie also knew the truth about how her parents really died. Her godfather, Sirius Black, had told her everything with Remus Lupin adding on to the story. Not wanting to reveal the details over in her mind again, she simply swore revenge on Lord Voldemort, the most powerful--and evil-- wizard that killed her parents. Pushing that thought aside, Jamie focus on the picture she had of her two parents, smiling and laughing without a care in the world. Sirius often told her that she looked extremely like her mother. Jamie would glow with pride. She sighed and started to hum a familiar tone. She was rudely interrupted by Winter's shrilling voice coming through her head.

"Hey, stupid!" cried Winter from across the kitchen. "Aren't you suppose to meet your idiotic friends today?"

Jamie let go of her crisis and smiled. She had almost forgotten about her first journey to Diagon Alley. She slowly turned around and looked Winter in the eyes.

"Yeah." replied Jamie, slowly. "Thanks for reminding me. Now I can go so I don't have to be here at your stupid party. See ya!"

With that, Jamie grabbed her cloak and rushed out the front door. Winter glared out of the window, located next to the kitchen sink. Jamie gave a look back at Winter and smirked, blowing a raspberry as well. She started to run down the block, leaving Winter dumbfounded.
