Chapter Two
A couple of weeks latter Jessica couldn't stand being inside any longer with all the cats and her grief, so she decided to stop hanging around the house, and go out and meet people. Who cares if their muggles they have to be better then siting around the house talking to bear and the cats. "come on Bear lets look around" Jessica walked to the door her grandmother was there, "Jess remember they are muggles and be good, plus most of them are prissy idiots anyway." "Im sure that some of them aren't that bad!" Then she saw her grandmothers gaze "you cant be serious. Oh well" Jessica shrugged her shoulders and started to walk out the door, while playful Bear ran ahead of her. "Oh and theres a park up the road, be back before dark, and watch out for that gang I told you about" Jessica nodded and followed Bear down the road.
Jessica walked through the open gates leading to the park. There were young girls and boys playing running around happily, there were all kinds of people here and there. Some looked towards Jessica noticing that she was new to this area Bear was running around with some little children as she smiled and walked past she whistled briefly and the dog ran ahead of her once more. Jessica picked up Bear and tickled her on the stomach Bear barked with pleasure, "hmm I wonder what's over their. doesn't seem to be any one over there" Bear looked around "lets go check it out" the puppy whispered.
They were behind a bush looking at the scene - a pare of boys. Pretty large boys probably around her age. They were breaking the swings. "I don't know why they fixed them when they know were going to break them again" Jessica was pulled back she landed on the grass, she turned to see a boy no younger then 11, "Your new, you don't want to mess with those guys, there dickheads. Bash kids up for no reason & break stuff as you can see. They think there cool" the boy said in a whisper quietly not wanting to be overheard, 'hmm, this may be the gang that gran was warning me about' she thought. "Thanks" Jessica said even though she didn't need his help, "is there anybody else here that I should worry about?" Jessica asked curiously, "well theres this Potter kid, see Dudley over there well hes his cousin. He goes to St Brutus's Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys. Oh Im Mark Evens by the way" "Jessica Nightshade." Jessica had forgotten about Bear. - Bear had crawled out from the bushes chasing a grass hopper, "oh no Bea.." the boy had covered her mouth and she noticed the bruises on his arm something told her that he new these boys very well. But it was to late they saw Bear and were walking towards the helpless puppy. "what a cute little dog. shame really" one of the boys said, but Bear took no notice and crawled back over to her mistress, "theres no chance hiding were going to have to face them" she whispered. Mark mumbled something but she couldn't understand but she knew he didn't want to be here.
Jessica stood up and dragged Mark to his feet. The boys stopped and smiled, "well Mark, Didn't Big D teach you your lesson last time" Mark spat on the ground, then the boys realised Jessica and looked her down. It was a hot day so she was wearing a short black skirt and a light blue top, "well, Mark looks like you haven't been so useless today, who's your new friend" Jessica scowled at the boys crossing her arms, "leave her alone. She's new" Mark took a step closer to Jessica, but one of the boys pushed him away - this had to be big D, "Leave him alone" Jessica said helping Mark up. Big D turned to her and pushed her up against the tree, and held her back against the tree "what's your name pretty girl" He said growling with his face near hers. too close for her safety, "get off me you over grown pig" he pushed her harder against the tree Jessica whimpered but held her ground when he got distracted she would make her move.
"Leave Her Alone Dudley" Jessica turned and saw a tall skinny boy with jet black hair, realising that Dudley was distracted she turned back to face the over grown beast. Kneed him hard in the family jewels and punched him so hard in the face that her hand was aching. He fell to the ground whimpering in pain. The tall boy was laughing, Bear was barking triumphantly. "Big D, man are you ok" the boys were around there Big companion, they picked him up and walked him down the park, Jessica rushed to Mark who was sitting up now, she was shaking her wrist cause it hurt really badly. But it was worth it. "are you ok" she said to Mark "yeah I'm fine." "Are you two alright" the tall skinny boy walked over them still smiling from the punch that Jessica had given Dudely. "yeah wher.." Jessica looked towards Mark he looked as if he saw a ghost and he shuffled back, "what" she demanded "its Harry Potter, the one I warned you about" 'Harry Potter, so her Grandmother had been telling the truth,' "oh, so he's so scary and horrible that he comes over to see if were alright!" Jessica looked at Mark. He didn't look convinced, He got up "thanks" he smiled unwontedly and basically ran out of the park.
"Well, that went rather well" Jessica said while holding her wrist, it still hurt from the hit she gave Dudley, "Im Jessica Nightshade. And this here is Bear" Jessica said smiling, "well you already now who I am. but wow that was great. What you just did knocking Dudley off his feet like that" Jessica just laughed slightly. "is your wrist ok" Jessica looked at Harry "oh yeah this its fine, but I really have to go, my grandmother is expecting me home early" Harry looked at Jessica "I'll see you around then" "yeah maybe" Jessica smiled and walked back to her Grandmothers house.
