3. First lesson : Potion.
So, this is my first day…Jessica looked her reflection on the mirror in her dorm room. The other girls in her room were still in the bathroom.
"You look fantastic, good luck for your day!" said the mirror.
"Thanks…" She blushed. Stacey O'Neil, one of her roommates, came.
"Hey, you look great Jess!" said Stacey. She looked ready, with her books and parchments in her hands.
"Gee, thanks," "you smell good yourself!" said Jessica, smiled.
"Thanks…" Stacey smiled back.
"Yeah…but you look bad with your hair!" said the mirror with cynical tone.
"Oh, shut up!" Stacey and Jessica said it at the same time. Then they looked at each other and burst into laugh.
"Old mirror…" said Jessica, grumbled.
"Ah, never mind about that! Let's go to the great hall to get breakfast." said Stacey again. Jessica took her books and parchments with her and followed Stacey.
"Yeah, sure."
"Hey, guys wait up!" Karen Lou, blonde hair girl, rushed between the two girls.
They were walking trough the hall, chatted around. Suddenly two boys came. One is brown hair with hazel eyes and the other one is blonde hair with blue icy eyes. They were wearing the Gryffindor cloak.
"Hey, girls!" said the brown hair.
"Hey Ian! Hey…Sean!" greeted Stacey. Stacey blushed when she said Sean's name. Jessica obviously saw that.
Well, they are not bad, in fact, they are good looking! Jessica's mind spoke.
"Hey Jess!" said Ian the brown hair.
"Oh, hey…err…Ian?" She really did not have any idea who is this guy name. Ian seems noticed it.
"Oh, please apologize my mistake." "My name is Ian Green" Jessica almost laughing out loud when she heard that. It felt like talking with a royal family or something. Obviously, she's not the only one, Stacey and Karen already giggled softly behind her. Ian gave his hand.
"I'm Jessica Wood…err…Oliver's step sister."
"Yeah, I've heard…" "Oh, yeah, this is Sean Rivers." Ian introduced the quiet blonde hair
guy to her.
"Nice to meet you." Jessica smiled. Sean just nodded. Quiet, eh?
"Shall we go?" "We already late for breakfast…" Said Karen.
"Ah, yes…sure!" said Ian smiled. And gave our three ladies a way. (I really think that Ian is one of the Royal family! wanna bet?)
The Great Hall,
Jessica seated between Karen and Sean. Oliver seated right in front of Jessica. They were eating like they never eat for years.
No wonder they eat like this, it's obviously delicious. Jessica looked at people around her.
The great hall is full with laughter and sound of fork and knife touched the plate.
"I never know you can eat that much?" Oliver made his sound. He looked at Jessica with a surprise.
"What? Sorry…I didn't catch that…" Jessica really concentrated at her plate.
"I said I never know you can eat that much…" He replied again with a smile. (I could hardly die because of it…Ooops, sorry…)
"Oh, that…hehehe…I think that's just because my stomach is larger than everyone else…" She joked.
"I see…but how come you so tiny?" believe me, Oliver said that with a serious face. I think he did not get the joke.
"Eh?? Oliver! Please, that's just a joke!" Jessica looked so surprise when she heard her stepbrother answer. She burst into laugh.
"Oh…" Oliver blushed. And…surprisingly…Sean laughed too! (Even Sean laughed…)
"You can laugh?" Jessica looked at Sean, fascinated.
"Of course he can, he IS a human." Oliver giggled now.
"Sorry…it's just …he's so quiet, Oliver!" Jessica tried to explain, but sadly, nobody listened. They're just laugh.
"Oliver! Stopped giggled!" " You supposed to be my GOOD stepbrother!" Jessica started to act like she is angry.
"I Am A GOOD stepbrother!" He insisted yet laughed.
A boy with a green Slytherin cloak came. "Don't be noisy on the table, new girl…" ssounded really cynical. And he smiled coldly.
"I HAVE A NAME, you know…" Jessica smirked.
"Yeah right…" and then he just passed by.
"Who's he?" Jessica looked at Oliver. She tried to find the answer.
"Believe me, you don't want to know…" answered Oliver flatly.
"Who is he?" she replied her question again. (Stubborn, eh?)
"Marcus Flint, the Slytherin quidditch team captain." Oliver sounded grumble.
"He's a captain? " said Jessica, snorted. How come a snob boy like him is a captain…
Everybody looked at her, confused.
"Sorry…I just think that's funny…I mean look at him…" She giggled.
"Hey! I thought I am just only one who thought that way!" Oliver face looked so astonished.
"Well, I guess you're not the only one anymore…" Jessica smiled.
"But He looks scary, don't you think?" Jessica asked him again.
"Yeah, but inside he's just filthy coward!" Oliver grumbled again.
"He always cheated at the game…" Karen spoke while she chewed her bread.
"I see…"
Suddenly Sean stood up, "We should go now…" He spoke.
"Oh, yeah…" Jessica nodded and followed him. Oliver looked at them awkwardly. Then he managed himself to stand up too. Sean and Jessica went first, Oliver and one of his friends, Daniel Irving after them.
Along the hall, Sean and Jessica were talking about something that Oliver probably won't understand. It's about the Weezer band. (You know, the Emo band!). Accidentally Sean is half blood like Jessica and accidentally again, Sean likes Weezer too.
Nevertheless, someone was looking them both with an odd look; it was Oliver. I'm her brother, I should be in his position right now…He's mind grumbled.
And then, his face changed to a confused look. What's the matter with me? Oliver then, erased his bad thought immediately.
In the dungeon, Prof. Snape class.
Okay...this is my first lesson. Jessica's heart started to bump. With Snape - What a name? Now she began to scare. She was looking for an empty seated. Oliver waved from his seat. Jessica saw that, she came near him.
"Just take it easy, Jess..." Oliver whispered to her. Jessica smiled and nodded. At least she felt better now.
Okay, you'll pass this...Jessica spoke to herself as she sat down.
Everybody was on their seat now but Prof. Snape still didn't show up. Suddenly, "BANG!" the door just slammed hard. This creepy looking man walked inside.
"That's Snape..." Oliver, who right next to her, whispered carefully.
"He's not that as scary as his name..." Jessica said that with a serious look.
"Humph..." Oliver really tried not to laugh. Thank God! Snape didn't hear that.
"What???" Jessica didn't get why Oliver was snort.
Suddenly, "Ahem, well...well. it seems that we get a new student..." Snape was now right in front of her. With a scary look, like always...
"So, I believe you are Oliver Wood's step sister..." He continued with the same cold look.
What exactly he's doing? scare the crap out of me?? nah ah! Jessica's mind grumbled.
"Ms. Wood, do you know in what potion that Ashwinder is usually use?" Now he begun the torture part. The class is begun to noisy.
Is that the only question that he actually get??? piece of cake! Thought Jessica.
"Love potion." Jessica answered that with a smile. Prof. Snape face is so ruined, he surprised. And so did everybody.
"And in what part of Jobberknolls that usually use for potion?"
Again??? what happen with this guy...
"Um...their feather." Jessica handled that question with, again, a smile.
"And again...what potion is that?"
"Actually it's are, I mean there are two potions, the memory potion and the truth potion." My goodness, you have to see Snape's face! it's seem like his eyes wanna blow or something! And everybody in the class were fascinated. Oliver, who's beside her, just looked at her with his mouth almost open.
"Let's continue our Lesson now!" Snape obviously defeated, he changed the subject of conversation. He turned his face to the black board.
No complement or something?? What a teacher! Jessica smirked.
"Oh, god..." Jessica moaned.
"What's the matter?" Oliver whispered to her.
"Thinking made me hungry..." she touched her stomach. (What??)
"Humph..." Oliver snorted. He couldn't believe Jessica just said that.
"Quite, you two! you both don't want to a detention, aren't you?" Unfortunately, Snape heard that. (dammit!)
And, they two and the rest of the class spent their potion class with silence and paid attention. (well, they don't want a detention obviously!)
