A/N: Whoa, Long time, no update! Don't kill me, eh? Beth's started a new story! feenixchild Go see! It's brilliant ;-) Oh yeah Beth, just another thing, I almost keep calling Marcus, "Shane" in this story, it's driving me mad!

"You did what?!"

Tom shrugged at Jessi as if he was completely innocent. Despite the fact Jessi was furious with him, he glared at the small red head as if he didn't have a care in the world. "Someone had to tell her, she had it coming"

News was in; Tom had a go at Beth on their first meeting. Yes. Never met before, and he calls her shallow. What was he?! Stupid?

"I don't care Tom! That's NOT how you treat people!" Jessi growled at her brother.

Tom repeated his causal oh-look-I'm-so-cool shrug and glanced at the floor with the slightest bit of guilt haunting him. Jessi couldn't really understand herself why she was telling him off for his faults on someone she didn't even know either. Something told her it was probably best to keep out of trouble with this girl for future references, and she would have to be the one saving Tom's ass again.

Tom had obviously had enough and before Jess could open her mouth to shout at him some more, he turned his back onto her and stomped off to the boys dorms. Sighing, Jess retreated back to her arm chair in the open fire. Hope this Beth girl hadn't taken too much offensive over her stupid brother's behavior.

The slytherin table was filled with the constant chatter of gossip or in most cases, bitching. It was an amazingly beautiful day for autumn weather, clear blue cloudless skies overhead on the great halls glass roof as Hogwarts sat down for lunch.

Jessi, Razzy and Tom weren't exactly as close seated to Emily, Bec and Marcus. Sway, Kirsty, Kristy and Beth were somewhere in between the six, keeping the border line of enemy lines. As usual, Razzy was staring straight at Emily and Marcus with pure hatred.

"Look at her" she sneered, taking a small sip out of her goblet before pulling a high pitched fake voice in mimic "Oh look! I'm dating the Quidditch Captain! I'm a stupid little slu-"

"Razz, you've got Tom" Jessi interrupted, tilting her head in the direction of Tom, opposite them and listening to every word they were saying.

"I know, I was pointing out how pathetic she is" Razzy grinned at Tom innocently who replied with a not-so-happy half smile before returning to his lunch. The three ignored the food fight on the other half and only paid attention when Tom stood up and paraded over to Marcus and Beth. Jess rolled her eyes. This only meant more trouble.

"Ooh, what's Tom doing?" Razzy asked, curiously looking over the heads of people to catch a glimpse of Tom and Marcus talking

"Starting a fight, nothing new" Jessi answered, not bothering to look up from the table

"Why can't they just get along?"

"Maybe because they've been fighting over you for years?"

Razzy stared at Jessi.

"Just a suggestion" Jessi sighed dropping her fork onto her plate signaling she had finished her lunch. Razz smiled, missing the sarcasm dripping in her voice.

"Come on, I'm sick of this, lets go"

Jessi nodded in agreement as the two girls arose from their seats together, leaving the scene without another word. Razzy's long dead straight black hair bounced as she walked along side of Jessi, her own her tied in small pony tail roughly behind her head.

As the two turned the corner, Razz let out a small gasp of excitement to see a tall, brown headed Ravenclaw across the other side of the hall talking to a fellow ravenclaw student. This gasp, however, wasn't fear or surprise but excitement. Razz had a long history of switching from male to male constantly. Usually, it was Tom, Marcus and this Ravenclaw standing here, Anthony.

Anthony had never appealed to Jessi as anything special. He adored Razz and treated her like a princess so of course she's going to react to attention like that. Jessi wasn't being hard on her best friend, she loved Razz to bits. Just sometimes she couldn't understand why she couldn't be happy with just one guy. The thought of her cheating on her brother also haunted her too.

"Anthony!" she squealed and ran over to him, practically leaping into arms, kissing him on the cheek. Anthony grinned and wrapped his arms around Razz's body, just as happy to see her. Jessi rolled her eyes, turning at her heel and began walking in the opposite direction to the couple. What would Tom say when he found out his girlfriend was with another male...again?
