It had started off as a calm day. Jessica Black woke up with a smile on her face. It was the first day of her 6th year, and the day she would head to the train station that held the train that would take her to Hogwarts.The one time that she didn't have to worry about exams or being too stressed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes letting out a yawn. She turned her head to the alarm clock she had hidden from her parents to look at the time. It was 7:00 am, a little earlier than she normally woke up during summer, but she could see why. Jess swung her legs to the side of her bed and jumped down. She cringed as her bare feet touched the cold floor. It was her usual routine, she would wake up and after feeling the floor's coldness, much like the coldness of most of her family, she would proceed to her private lavatory; washing her face and brushing her teeth, and that's what she was doing now.
She looked into the mirror and scolded at her reflection. Jess was 5'4, had beautiful black hair, and it reached her hips making it wave whenever she walked. Her eyes were a stunning brown that almost reached black, most confused it as black, but she never said anything. Her skin was a tan color from spending her free time in the sun and had a well proportioned body, some would say she didn't look 16, instead they mistaken her for a beautiful woman of 22 who had a career in muggle modeling. But this wasn't what she saw. She saw Jessica Ember Black, Sirius Black's little sister, short, un-proportional, and just plain ugly. She looked away from the mirror and walked back to her room.
Jess made her way to her closet and took out a pair of black baggy muggle pants and a black muggle tank top with different words on it. She set them down on her bed and walked back to her closet, getting out her black with red lining all stars, setting them down on the floor by her clothes. She took out a strapless bra and knickers. Jess walked back to her bed and swiftly took her nightgown off, replacing it with her bra and new knickers. Although it was summer, the black residence was still cold most of the time. She pulled her tank top over and pulled the pants up, zippering and buttoning them. She made her way quickly to her drawer and took out some black socks, putting them on her feet making the warmth come back.. Taking her shoes she slipped her feet in, not bothering to tie them up and she made her way out of her room.
Meanwhile…
Severus Snape was not one most socialized with. He was greasy hair that reached his shoulders and a pale complexion. Not to mention his nose was a sort of hook shape and his attitude was worse than being bitten by a dog with rabies. Severus was an early riser, but not a morning person. He had been awake since 5:00 am and by now he was sitting in the library at his home, reading another book about the dark arts. A scowl had taken over his face ages ago and had never left. Even when he was happy you could never tell, which wasn't a problem because he was never happy. He looked at the clock and saw he still had another two hours until he had to head off to Kings cross train station. He always left 2 hours early, since he lived rather far away. Severus continued reading his book to let the time pass…
Jess sat in the parlor, reading a book about romance when she heard the scream. It was their only human maid, Ms Charlotte or as Jess called her, the hag. She stood up and ran to the kitchen to see what the problem and was found Sirius standing by the door, laughing his arse off while the hag stood on a chair, looking down at a harmless mouse, screaming.
" AHH! SIRIUS BLACK YOU LITTLE BUGGER I'LL TELL YOUR MOTHER ON YOU! YOU'LL BE IN BIG TROUBLE!" Screamed out Charlotte.
All Sirius did was laugh and salute the hag. " Yes ma'am! I am afraid sir! I mean ma'am! "
" Sirius what did you do?" Jess said while at the same time trying to control her laughter.
" Oh nothing out of the ordinary, you know, Just set a mouse or two on the loose." He said rather calmly.
Jess couldn't hold it in any longer, she let out all of her laughter, making her face turn red. She couldn't stand it anymore so she walked away and back to the parlor, Sirius following her.
" Sirius, maybe we should leave for Hogwarts now, it is after all it is 10:00 already." She said, regaining her composure.
" yes master" Sirius responded in a mock tone. He walked to the main entrance and grabbed his trunk, which was already sitting there. " hurry up Jess!" He said rather bored.
Now it was Jess's turn to mock him. " yes oh great one. I am coming." She said bowing down and grabbing her trunk. She walked to the door and opened it.
" Age before beauty." Sirius said in a pansy kind of voice and walked out of the door.
" Yeah,Yeah" Jess responded, rolling her eyes.
Meanwhile…..
Severus was already in Kings cross-station, heading to the barrier to platform 9 ¾. He found the right location and calmly walked through it, his trunk in front of him.
" Severus, finally, you are here." It was a voice no one could mistake, Lucius Malfoy.
Severus turned to his right and saw Malfoy standing straight, looking at Severus in frustration.
" Where have you been Severus? I have saved us a compartment and I have Crabbe and Goyle guarding it. Get in the train Severus I don't have all day." Lucius said as he climbed up the steps into the train.
" Lucius may I remind you that you do not order me around." Severus sneered. He followed after Malfoy and climbed on the train.
" But I am older and you must respect your elders, Snape." He said with malice.
Severus sneered and followed Malfoy into the compartment, sitting down and opening a book to read.
Jess and Sirius passed through the barrier with ease. Just then they heard a voice calling to them. It was James Potter, Sirius's best friend and another brother to Jess.
"Sirius! Jess!" James Potter called. " Where have you been? The train leaves any minute!" He called from a window. Jess and Sirius ran into the train, knocking down a few people in the process, until the reached the compartment, both falling into their seats.
" Ello guys." Jess said, trying to catch her breath. " Where's Peter?"
James shrugged. " Don't know, we haven't seen him right Mooney?" He asked Remus.
Remus nodded his head and went back to staring out the window. And that's how the story starts.
