2. The First Meeting.
"Oliver! Wait for her will ya, boy!" Oliver's father screamed to his son, but his son just walked down the King Cross Station with his trolley without looking back. Jessica was late. Well, maybe because she is new to London's hectic situation.
Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Boys dorm…
I never met her…what did she looks like I never know…Oliver's mind spoke.
I do not blame her for all this, I will bet she does not even like this either…
I guess living her at the station is a wrong thing…
She never gets to London before, what if she gets lost or something...If it is that so…I really on a big trouble! He still felt guilty. He is now lying on his bed in the boys' dorm.
"Argh…" He groaned to himself.
Downstairs at the Gryffindor common room…
A girl just came in, nobody realized her (I assume it is Jessica).
Okay Jess, Chill, you can do this…She spoke with her mind.
Just smile and introduce yourself to everyone.
"Take a breath..." She whispered.
"Hey people…I'm new here…" She smiled. What a moron…That is just a moron who said things like that...MORON! Her mind grumbled.
"Oh, Hey!" Fred Weasly came to her and gave his hand.
"I'm Fred Weasly, you must be Oliver's step sister." Jessica and Fred shook hand.
"Yeah…I guess." She sounded grumble.
"Hey everybody, we got a new friend here!" Fred screamed to everybody at the common room. Now everybody was looking at her. They are all gave their smiles.
This is not bad...they all look nice... Jessica spoke to her mind.
Now everybody sat all around her. Everyone seems excited to know more about her. Maybe that is because she is half-Chinese and half British. She has a black long hair, big brown eyes and pink lips (she looks pretty I guess...).
"Hi I'm Alicia Spinnet, 7th Grade too." A brunette girl came across and sits beside her.
"Oh, hey. I'm Jessica...err...Wood" Jessica smiled.
"So how was Oliver at home?" George Weasly asked her with a grin on his face.
"Err...actually we never meet before..." Jessica felt uncomfortable with that question. Now everyone was looking at her with a suspicious look.
"It's not like you guys think, it's just…"
"See...my Mom and his Dad were just married about a couple of month ago…and this is my first time get here to United Kingdom."
Silence…
"Where do you came from then?" A girl with a big hair asked her. (I supposed it's Hermione.)
"Hong Kong, I used to live in Hong Kong…" Jessica answered.
Boys' Dorm, Oliver's bed…
What is that sound…why is so crowded downstairs? He felt curious. He got up and decided to go downstairs, to see what happen.
The Gryffindor common room, so noisy…
"Hey what's up guys?" Said Oliver lined down the stairs. He saw someone's back with a black long hair; It is a girl.
"Hey Oliver! This is your stepsister…" Said George.
"Who's you've been looking for…" Fred added with a devil smile. The girl turned around and looked at him.
Father was right...she is...p...
"Hey…" She speaks ! Oliver's heart bumped.
"Hey…so you are…" Oliver gave his hand. They're shook hand.
"You're stepsister…I guess…" Jessica smiled.
Nice smile... Oliver heart still bumped.
"Thanks…" Jessica blushed. She can hear me! Oliver's eyes almost jumped out.
"You! You can…No! No way…" Said Oliver, blushed too.
"Still learning…" Jessica said that calmly. (Another Hermione…I supposed.)
"WHAT??" Fred and George said that almost at the same time. Everyone looked confused too.
"Okay...you guys I think Jessica is tired and she just met her stepbrother, I guess we should leave them alone." Percy (like who else!) Weasly rose and shoo everybody around Jessica and Oliver.
"Be careful with Oliver, Jess, He's untamed!" Said Fred, grinned.
"Roar!" George and Lee made sound of a lion. Everybody giggled, Jessica too.
"Shut up you guys!" Oliver's face got red.
"They are always like that…" Oliver smiled and sat beside her.
"They are look fun thought." Jessica smiled back.
"Yeah, right!" Oliver grumbled. Jessica giggled to hear that.
My stepbrother, eh? Not bad. She spoke silently
"I'm sorry about the station…" said Oliver again. His face looked so worry.
"That's okay; I can understand...I was late anyway…" Jessica tied her long black hair.
"Thank God, I caught the train…"
"Really? How come I didn't see you?" Oliver feels a bit confused.
"We were in the different compartment I guess, I am new student, remember?" Jessica rolled her eyes.
"Oh, yeah...sure..." Oliver smiled. Funny, saw her rolled up her brown eyes.
"So do tell me…How you can get into Gryffindor, I didn't see you in the great hall…" Oliver asked her.
"Oh, yeah…Prof. McGonagall shorted me with the sorting head after the first year, at her office..." she continued, "Maybe that's because I 'm not first year; I'm a new student."
"Oh, I see…so that's why I didn't see your face in the great hall, you must be waiting for Prof. McGonagall at her office." said Oliver. He understood everything now.
"Yeah…"
"But they gave you your dinner, didn't they?" Oliver looked worried.
"Yes, of course they did, if it's not I'll be starving to dead by now…" Jessica once again rolled up her eyes.
"Ha ha ha ha ha…stupid me…yes of course…" Oliver laughed out loud.
He laugh…he's not pretty bad looking…for my stepbrother… Jessica's mind played.
"Oliver, I want to tell you something…" Jessica looked uncomfortable.
"Yeah, what is it?" Oliver listened carefully.
"Actually, I 'm not really happy…I mean…with my mom marriage," She said it pretty carefully. She was too afraid to hurt Oliver's feeling.
"I mean…I know she deserve to be happy…but I never know your father before…" She said it more carefully this time.
"I know what you mean…I feel the same…but don't you worry, my Father is a good man…" Oliver smiled. He thinks his bet was right.
"Yeah, but my father, my biological father I mean, He left my mom and me about ten years ago…" Jessica looked sad when she said that.
"Because he hates witches…"
"I'm sorry…" Oliver patted her back. Then he lifted his hand off, what am I doing? He thinks...
"Well, I guess, my mom marrying your father is the best choice for her." She smiled.
"I hope so…" Oliver smiled back.
"Do you pure Chinese? I mean...your eyes..." Oliver changed the topic. He promised to himself, he will care for her as a brother to his sister. She needed it.
"Big?" Jessica added.
"Yeah…" Oliver looked into her eyes.
"That's because I'm not, I am half British...my muggle Father is British." She said that with a plain tone, as if she regretted it. She is, I believe.
"Oh…" Oliver lost his words.
"So I heard that you are the Gryffindor quidditch team captain?" Jessica suddenly erased her sad face.
"Yeah, it's not a big deal…" Oliver scratched his head.
"I think you should go to bed now…you…err…look tired…" said Oliver stood up.
"Yeah, I think you're right…brother." Jessica giggled.
"I think I have to get used to that word – Brother…" she continued. She stood up to her feet.
"Yeah…me too - Sister." Oliver laughed. "Let me take you luggage…" Oliver bent to take Jessica's luggage.
"Oh, No…I'm okay with that…" Jessica took her luggage first. "Thanks…" Jessica smiled.
They walked together to the girls' dorm.
"I think this is it." Jessica looked at Oliver.
"Yeah, it is your dorm." He answered.
"Good night brother." Jessica grinned.
"Oh, please…do call me Oliver…" said Oliver, smiled. "Anyways…We are at the same age, aright?"
"Yeah, okay." Jessica nodded. "Good night Oliver…" She added with a smile.
"Ah, that's sound better…err…sister or Jessica?" Now he confused. He played his eyebrow up and down, funny.
"Jessica will be better too." She grinned.
"Good night, Jessica." He smiled. Then Jessica walked trough the dorm's door and shut it down.
This is going to be a totally different season, I can feel it…Said Oliver to himself.
Thanks father…Oliver put a big happy smile on his face and he believes he is going to sleep tight tonight.
