Harry sat there, shocked out of his mind. "Cousin?" he managed to
reply. A dozen questions flew into his head at once. "Which side of the
family?" "How distant?" "Why don't I live with her instead of the
Dursleys?"
Jessica, however giggled at his reaction. "Um, yeah! Er, at least that's what they tell me" she smiled warmly yet somehow nervously. Dumbledore chuckled now too.
"Well," he started, "Your father had a younger brother by the name of Daniel. He was also a wizard who married the witch Cassandra. Jessica's circumstances are very similar to yours. You were about a year old when your parents were attacked by Voldemort. She was only a month old. He killed her parents and would have killed her too, but she was at her grandmothers house at the time. She has been living with relatives on her mothers side, they wouldn't give you the kind of protection that you need. Anything else you would like to know?"
"Um," Harry began, "Why was Voldemort after her parents, my uncle and aunt?" he said ended quickly.
Dumbledore made a small nod to Jessica,
"Well," she began somewhat cheerfully, "My mom kinda had one foot in the magical world and one in the muggle world."
Harry gave her a confused look. "Like, um, she was a very popular American singer, but she played to both muggles and wizards. So I guess Voldemort must not have like it that she came in contact with so many muggles, he must have thought it betraying. My mom was a pure-blood" she ended somewhat hastily.
"I see." said Harry thoughtfully.
"Jessica has very good connections inside of the wizarding world. The American Ministry of Magic thinks highly of her, she is the most prominent political witch figure in the muggle world, she is very rich," Here Jessica smirked and murmured "Oh yea, lucky me" sarcastically under her breath "She is known all around the world, and she is a member of the Order of the Phoenix."
"How is she known in the muggle world?" asked Harry
"Oh! Um, well, like um, I'm kinda like my mom. I am also a singer. But I also sing to many different countrys as well because I can sing in different languages." Said Jessica.
It suddenly struck Harry that she was very shy as a trait and really acts when she's on stage. "But she's is very normal, just shy about her career" he thought to himself.
"So, why are you here?" asked Harry aloud.
Jessica, however giggled at his reaction. "Um, yeah! Er, at least that's what they tell me" she smiled warmly yet somehow nervously. Dumbledore chuckled now too.
