The First Impression

Harry was sick of it. He was sick of hearing all about Dudley's new girlfriend, he was sick of having to deal with the Dursley's ,he was sick of being told what to do, and last of all he was sick of being stuck at Privet Drive. DING – DONG!!

"That's her:" Harry muttered to himself. He started out of his bedroom and down the stairs. Half way down the stairs he looked up and he about fainted. There standing in front of the door shaking hands with Aunt Petunia was a "pretty girl". He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yup she was still there. Harry almost laughed aloud as he saw her give his Uncle Vernon a fake smile and then as Uncle Vernon turned to lead her to the Sitting room her eyes widened and she looked a bit frightened as he almost hit her with a bulge of fat.

"Oh and that's my cousin Harry." Dudley said pointing to him, "He lives with us here because his parents died."

Harry had to resist the urge to pull out his wand and curse Dudley. It was then that he saw the expression on the girls face. She didn't look like she pitied him she looked at him like he was an equal.

"Hi," she said giving him a sincere smile, "I'm Jessica." She then started to follow Dudley who had an arm around her waist into the Sitting room.

While the group talked Harry couldn't help but wonder what a girl like her was doing with a guy like Dudley.

"And what school do you go to Harry?" Jessica asked him breaking him out of his thoughts.

"Oh I.... I go to Brunswics school for misbehaving boys ( I don't know for sure if that's it. If someone remembers will they please tell me?)." Harry replied cursing himself slightly for making him look like a fool in front of her.

"What school do you go to dear?" Aunt Petunia asked Jessica trying to get the subject off her unimportant nephew.

"Well I just barely moved here from France and there I went to a boarding school in the South, but here I'm going to a boarding school up north." Jessica replied in one breath.

At this comment Harry snapped his head up. Hogwarts was up North. Could it be possible? No, it couldn't. But then again there was something weird about her.

"Exactly which one?" Harry inquired.

"Oh um.... I'm not quite sure." She replied a little caught off guard. Was it just Harry or did it seem that Jessica was hiding something.

"Enough about schooling I'm starved. Let's go eat the delicious meal Petunia made for us." Uncle Vernon said glaring at Harry for speaking out of turn.

And at that they went into the dining room. Harry who was going last walked straight with his head up staring at the back of Jessica's head.

"She's hiding something," Harry thought to himself, "And I'm going to find out what it is."
