For the first few minutes Harry and Jessica walked silently to the
quidditch pitch.. She had no idea what Harry wanted to ask. The he started
asking questions about like when he was going to see her because of her
job, and what she thought of Dumbledore. It seemed as if Harry wanted to
her ask her another question but when they got to the Qudditch field they
both stopped.
"Do you like to play Quidditch?" asked Harry excitedly.
"Like it? I love it! I play Chaser, you?" she said excitedly as well.
"Seeker. I've never really tried to play a Chaser. Want to play?"
"Love to. But I warn, I'm good." She said in mock smugness.
"Are Americans always this well... frank?" Harry said cautiously
"Nope! Just me! But I'm always on a major sugar-high that might have something to do with it." She grinned and gave a look of mock sincerity
"Okay then, lets go." Said Harry brightly
It turned out that Jessica wasn't lying. She really was a good Quidditch player. While Harry on the other hand just plain stunk at playing Chaser. She got ten goals while Harry was still figuring how to steal the ball. When Harry got the ball it only took thirty seconds for Jessica to turn around in front of him and speed to her own goals, stealing the Quaffle on the way. The game ended 100 - 0.
"Okay, so I stink at Chaser. But let's see how good you are at Seeker." Harry said challenging.
"Fine by me" Jessica agreed.
Jessica was also good at Chaser but Harry was by far better. She presented a hard challenge because of all her new American moves. She even got Harry to fall for the Wronski Feint. That score ended 1250 - 500.
Harry showed her the rest of the castle that he knew off. He even offered to show her Hogsmeade but she said that was fine. Harry was really starting to like Jessica. She was really fun to be around. She told Harry some stories of her life in America and her family. She told him of her brothers there and in turn he told her of his cousin.
"You are so lucky you don't have siblings. I mean, they are really a pain in the arse." Jessica said, probably exaggerating.
"I have something worse, a cousin who thinks he's bigger than me, ad is bigger than me."
"At least he tries to ignore you most of the time. My brothers make a point of making my life a living hell. Like once, they both needed me to play a two player game and ended up pulling me by my arms. I ended up having a cast for my poor broken arm."
"Well, thanks to Dudley, I had absolutely no friends at all before Hogwarts. None." Said Harry, gloomily
"I'd rather not have friends then when they laugh at me."
"Why?"
"When I was in fourth grade, my brother had to write an essay on someone whom he admired. The thing was, he only admired himself! So he wrote an essay on how I miraculously recovered from brain cancer! Then he was the one who was going to the hospital for a broken arm." Jessica laughed
Then they talked about friends.
"I have these two really great friends. Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger. Ron is really funny at times and Hermione loves to read and. wait! You'll see them this year. So you'll get to meet them."
"Awesome. I have a best friend in the states. We keep up through email and aim. Her name is Lynn. She is very cool. She loves to read and is very funny." Said Jessica.
"Well, we better get back. Tonight, we can ride the Hogwarts Express through the night and be there when everyone comes in the morning."
"Did Dumbledore say we could?"
"He did. But he didn't say we could bring dungbombs and some things I found at Weaslys Wizard Wheezes. Any one in mind to use them?" Jessica said mischievously
"Yes indeed" replied Harry
"Do you like to play Quidditch?" asked Harry excitedly.
"Like it? I love it! I play Chaser, you?" she said excitedly as well.
