Chapter 8

Note from me: These notes are getting tedious. Disclaimer: This goes for the rest of the story. I don't own Harry Potter and I never will.

Jessica looked around the room cautiously. Everyone in the room was staring at her unblinkingly, in fact it had been over twenty seconds and no one had blinked, moved, or even breathed. Jessica moved towards the unmoving Snape and quickly waved her had in front of his face. But Professor Snape didn't even move. Jessica quickly removed the spell that Kimberley was casting on her, making her face an ugly shade of green, and snarled towards the unmoving Kimberley.

'This is odd,' Jessica thought to herself. She walked around the room, moving peoples arms around, opening and closing their eyes. Making Draco's hair stick up. . .

"Perhaps it's like that movie, Clock Stoppers. It's not everybody who stopped moving, I'm just moving really fast. Yah that makes sense, since the potion is called vite. I wonder when it wears off," Jessica pondered aloud.

She sat down and stared at Snape. After about five minutes of this she got bored. But she did notice that Professor Snape had closed his eyes. Sighing she got up and headed towards the GoM dormitories, hoping to get a little homework done before the potion wore off.

Walking into the dormitory she headed up to her room and dug through her trunk to find some papers, when her eyes fell upon her Goblet of Fire book. She picked up the book and opened it to no page in particular.

The Triwizard Competition.

"Of course!" Jessica exclaimed. She didn't know how she forgot about the tournament. It was totally unfair that she wouldn't be allowed to compete, where Harry will be. Although, maybe she could prevent Harry from playing, therefore spoiling the plans of Crouch the Younger who at the moment was using Moody's body as a disguise.

But no. . . Perhaps there would be a way of getting into the tournament though. She just needed to have a little talk to a certain Ghost named the Caemlyn Tamarall, AKA the Bloody Baron. Maybe he would put her name in. She could bring much honor to her family, even if she didn't know anyone in it other than the Baron.

Maybe. . .

Jessica groaned as she stood up, stuffing her homework and her Goblet of Fire book into an extra bag that she had lying around. She then went back to the Potions classroom to find that nothing had changed.

About two hours later, after finishing all of her homework, Jessica noticed that Snape was no longer just standing there blinking. His face was in a confused and stupefied look. He probably wondered how I just disappeared, Jessica mused to herself. Looking around the room she noticed that Draco's hands were on his head, and he had a sour expression on his face while Kimberley was pointing and laughing at him. Then suddenly in a quick blur and a spinning of the room, everybody started moving and talking at the same time.

"My hair! How did that happen to my hair?!" Draco howled.

"I don't know, my arm was just suddenly there. . ." Ron blushed at a stupefied Kate. Jessica laughed knowing where his hand was.

"Miss Tamarell, can you please explain to me what has happened just now?" Snape said after he snarled to the class to stop their yappering.

"Well Sir, it's actually not all that complicated. I in fact had a long time to think about it. You see, in the muggle world there was this movie, it was called 'Clock Stoppers' but as you know, I didn't stop time, I only made myself go faster, with the help of the Vite potions." Jessica explained.

"That's impossible, the potions is to make Runners able to run a few seconds faster than usual. It is used on dogs to make them able to chase away robbers faster. It cannot make it so you can go as fast as you were going." Snape said.

"Well then, I don't know how to explain it. I took the potion and then I noticed that none of you were moving. So I moved a few of you, and nothing happened. I didn't know when it would wear off, so I went to go get some extra work, and I finished it. If it had been real time, I was sitting there for two hours getting my work done. I don't know how I did it, I just followed the instructions." Jessica tried to explain.

"I see, well. . . Could you give me the potion and I'll do some tests on it," Snape asked.

"Sure," Jessica smiled, and then she poured the rest of her potion into a jar and handed it over to the Professor.

"Well there is still time for all of you to finish your own potions. I suggest you start now," Snape said to the class.

The everybody got back to work, except the the GoMs who already finished.

"So, what was it like?" Kimberley asked Jessica.

"Boring, I didn't know what to do, so I ended up doing my homework," Jessica rolled her eyes.

"You could've done something more exciting or cool," Blaine said.

"Yah, but I didn't know when the potion would wear off, so maybe next time," Jessica said.

"I don't think that there'll be a next time. Snape wont let us make that potion again, if it means that we'll have an advantage on everything." Kate said.

"Yah that's true, but there was something that he doesn't know," Jessica laughed.

"What is that?" Matt asked.

"Well, I think that it had something to do with how much magic you possess. For example, if we all drank the potions, it'd probably be stronger, and last for a much longer time. That's why on dogs it only makes them speed up a little. They have no magic. But say Snape, he could probably talk and move much faster than a regular person could. Dumbledore may be able to do what I did, but not as long, about two minutes. But us, we're much stronger, especially because of our bond. Does that make any sense?" Jessica tried to explain, looking a little confused herself.

"I get it," Kate said.

"What about Harry, and the others?" Matt asked.

"I don't know," Jessica said.

"Alright class, you should be finished your potions, and since we have seen what has happened to Miss Tamarell, I think it would be wise not to test our potions. Please just clean up your stuff, and be on your way," Snape said, and then turned back to examine the potion.

"Well, I suppose that we can leave then, since we've finished our potion," Kimberley said looking at her watch.

"Good, I'm tired of school, we can quit now," Jessica sighed contentedly.

Then they walked out of the classroom and towards their dorm.

Note from me: I know that this is really short. But I'm on my Dad's laptop and I have to go to bed now. So Good night!
