Chapter Two
Earning Back My Reputation…
Authoress Notes: I just want to say, thanks for the three reviews I received…I'm happy about that…what I'm not happy about is the flame…technically it's not that bad of a flame but I'm still not happy…I get to choose my own OCs…whether you like it or not is not my business…I write for pleasure and enjoyment...not cause I want to send it to a publisher though many people tell me I should…I've come a long way with my stories and if you want to see my first so called "Mary-Sue" Jenna's not bad at all compared to her…so stop flaming, it's a waste of your time and mine…Jenna has a Firebolt V.2 because Madame Maxime has connections and got it for Jenna as a going away gift…now stop bugging me! Sowwie if this is kind of weird and the whole Hermione thing...gee...I don't really like doing fillers...and uhhm...yea...hope it doesn't seem to sudden...you'll see in the chap...okie? Someone who knows French...tell me I did the whole hazelnut thingie right...I got that from a book..."Mary, Bloody Mary"...so not sure
Jenna huffed as she walked back to the Gryffindor Dormitory Room, even though she hadn't been sorted she had been placed with Harry in the same house…bad thing was, that stupid Fred was in the same house too, even worse was, that Fred was supposed to be her guide…Jenna groaned. Stupid, dumb Fred…why does he have to become obsessed with me? I don't like him at all!
Yes, you do…a little voice said.
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT!
The voice quieted down but Jenna knew it was going to come back and taunt her later…Jenna put away her Firebolt V.2 and flopped down on her bed next to Lavender Brown, as much as Jenna hated the girl, she'd have to deal with it. Jenna opened her trunk and took out her clothes to go shower, then she put back the locking spell on it, that couldn't be broken with Alohamora…instead only a personal password would unlock it. Jenna walked to the lavatories and began stripping off her sweaty clothes…her mind drifted back to France where her true home was…and her true love. His name was Alexander, and he somehow was 3 years older than her, that wouldn't be bad, but it was, because during fifth year, he had already graduated and become a teacher, and if that wasn't worse, a rumor spread about a "forbidden erotic" student-teacher relationship…still their relationship had persevered, now Alexander was back in France teaching while Jenna was here, that had agreed on a long distance relationship and Jenna had yet to write him about arriving safely in Hogwarts.
(SEE! Jenna is not a total Mary-Sue…she has problems in her life! Just like you and me..)
Jenna toweled off and went back to her bed and whipped out a piece of parchment, as she rummaged around for her quill, her owl came flying in.
"Hey Noisette, what do you have for me?" Jenna asked untying the piece of parchment from Noisette's leg.
Noisette only hooted softly in response. Noisette was a falcon, in France, they used falcons because they were less obvious. Noisette was a particular hazel color and that's why Jenna named the owl Noisette which was French for Hazelnut.
(I think it is…)
Jenna unfolded the piece of parchment and read it.
Jenn-
Hope you got to Hogwarts safely, I've been waiting all day for your letter, but it didn't come, I'm getting worried, send a reply ASAP. Love you.
-Alexander
Jenna smiled and got to work writing her letter up, after half an hour of pouring all her thoughts out she was proud of her work.
Dear Alexander,
I'm sorry I haven't wrote all day, I did meet Harry as soon awhile after I got to Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore is quite nice and is letting me stay in the same house as Harry. I've also met his two friends, Hermione and Ron. They are pretty nice, except Hermione seems to be a know it all. I also met Ron's two brothers, you know, the owners of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes? Fred and George, they're okay. I pranked them as soon as I figured who they were. I guess I shouldn't have, because know Fred has become obsessed with me. I do admit that he's quite dashing but never fear, you're the only one I have eyes for. Tomorrow I start classes with the seventh years. Worst part is that Fred is to be my guide for the week. I can't believe my luck! Harry is quite good at Quidditch and we spent most of the evening playing. My new Firebolt from Madame Maxime works great! I hope you're doing well teaching Charms over in France. Send my wishes to my mum and dad and of course Michelle when you have the chance. I'm awaiting your reply. Lots of love.
-Jenna
Satisfied, Jenna sent it off with Noisette. Michelle was Jenna's "sister" her foster parent's daughter. Michelle was the same age only a couple months older than Jenna. They were really good friends and had always been together and there for each other. Jenna flopped back down onto her bed, reminicising the day's events. It had been exciting…I hope it gets better tomorrow, but knowing my luck, it probably won't, Jenna thought as she drifted off to sleep.
-Next Day (Great Hall) Breakfast-
Jenna had come down bright and early with Harry and his friends for breakfast. She was now spreading cream cheese onto a bagel and awaiting the morning post. So far it hadn't come and Jenna was getting impatient, she wanted to see the news from the Daily Prophet and a reply from Alexander. Harry was casually chatting with Dean Thomas while Seamus tried to strike up a conversation with Lavender. So far, it wasn't working. Meanwhile near the end, Parvati was playing footsie with her boyfriend. Jenna, all in all, was amused by this, highly amused. It was like her and Alexander, only there was no footsie and no public flirting, okay, maybe a kiss or two, but not too much PDA. Only in private. Just then a ton of owls came in swooping down and delivering the post. Noisette came to Jenna with the newspaper and a letter. Jenna opened the letter first, but before she could read it she was stopped by Harry.
"Is that a falcon?" He asked.
"Mmhmm." Jenna replied wanting to get to her letter.
"Why don't you have an owl?" Harry wondered as he fed his snowy owl, Hedwig some bacon.
"It's because in France we mostly use falcons." Jenna said.
"Oh, what's his or her name?" Harry asked again.
"Her name is Noisette. Yours?"
"She is Hedwig."
"Noisette? I believe it means hazelnut in French?" Hermione cut in.
"Yes, now I have a letter to read, can I please get to it?" Jenna interrupted.
Hermione shut up. Jenna opened the letter and found not one, but two letter inside.
Dear Jenna,
Finally you reply! I was getting very worried about you! If you have any problems with Fred or George, send the word and I'll hex them into oblivion. I believe though, that you can outprank them any day. I hope you have good teachers for your Charms class, Madame Maxime misses you terribly and keeps bugging me about you…of course I kept sodding her off with excuses…I'm sorry to make this short but I have a tutoring session to go to. I'll write more later.
Love,
Alexander
Jenna laughed, Madame Maxime was nice but she could be annoying sometimes. Jenna opened the second piece of parchment and found it was from Michelle.
Jenna!
I was about to go hex Alexander to see if he was keeping anything from me! I'm glad you're alright and I'm glad you found Harry, I hope Hogwarts is suiting you well, mum and dad send their wishes as well, I have to go now, Professor Gaston has eyes like an eagle…now you see why everyone hates History of Magic?
Toodles,
Michelle
Jenna smiled, who in their right mind would like Gaston? He, for one, was ugly and two, was a terrible teacher. Jenna took out her schedule and looked at it…today she had Double Charms with Hufflepuffs, Transfiguration with Ravenclaws, Potions with Slytherins, and History of Magic. She hadn't thought about electives today and was deciding upon Care of Magical Creatures since she liked that better than Divination or Muggle Studies…
Jenna then opened the newspaper and quickly threw it down after glancing at the front page…
The Boy Who Lived has Rumored Second Cousin?
Article by Rita Skeeter
Does the Boy Who Lived have a second cousin? Sources
reveal that he might have one!
Yesterday an anonymous source said that a
girl visited Harry at Hogwarts between
Charms and Herbology class, witnesses say
that she pulled out a family tree and it was said that
it looked like Harry had a second cousin!
Does this mean there are more
Mysterious family members to come?
We don't know that yet but hopefully there will
be good news for Harry in the future!
Turn to Page B17 for more…
Jenna fumed…did gossip go around this fast in school! What kind of school was this anyways? Considering that Harry had been through so much he still had to endure this kind of crap everyday? Jenna quickly burned the newspaper and went back to eating…until Fred and George came bounding into the Great Hall…
"Morning Hazelnut! We overheard that you named your falcon that…so why not call you that?" Fred said sweetly.
Jenna groaned…Extandable Ears of course…how could she have been so stupid? Then again, she sometimes was…
"Fancy going to Hogsmeade this weekend, Jenna?" Fred asked.
"No, I do not." Jenna replied curtly.
"And why would that be?" Fred smiled cheekily.
"Because…I have something called a boyfriend" Jenna hissed.
Fred looked stunned for a moment before saying something.
"A boyfriend, well, okay then, see you around." Fred said before leaving.
"Not to be rude, Jenna, but I think you hurt him." Hermione spoke up.
"I don't care! It would hurt Alexander more if I cheated on him!" Jenna said and got up, "I'm leaving, see you in Charms."
Harry nodded and went back to eating.
-With Fred And George-
"She has a boyfriend! A bloody boyfriend! How could I have not known? Her hazel brown hair, her deep green eyes…of course she has a boyfriend! What kind of nitwit wouldn't like her?" Fred ranted as George sat there reading Quidditch Monthly Magazine.
"Of course…what kind of nitwit?" George asked dully.
"ME! I couldn't see that before! How could I be so stupid and dumb? How! But a way through a girl's heart is through her stomach! I can take her to the kitchens!" Fred said.
"Frederick, you're confusing that quote…it's supposed to be the other way around…" George replied.
"Huh? You mean a way to a girl's stomach is through her heart?" Fred asked.
"No, you idiot! A way to a MAN'S heart is through his stomach…" George said.
"Oh, then what do I do?"
"How about stop being a bloody lovesick idiot and actually try to find out what she likes?" George suggested sarcastically.
"Of course! That's exactly what I'll do!" Fred said excitedly.
"Splendid…how are you going to do that? March up to her and say, I'd like to know what you like so I can court you?" George suggested.
"No, you dumbhead, I'm going to ask someone close to her! Someone like Harry!" Fred said excitedly.
"Well good luck then monsieur, I'll be in Potions waiting for you." George walked out the door.
But Fred did not hear, he was too busy scribbling away at his list of questions.
-Back to Jenna and the Golden Trio-
Double Charms had finished and now they were on their way to Transfiguration with the Ravenclaw students. Jenna and Hermione were in the third floor girl's bathroom straightening up before Transfiguration.
"Hermione/Jenna, list-" They both started at the same time.
"You go first." Jenna said.
"Jenna, I know I haven't been very nice when I first met you, and I might've been nosy. I'm sorry, how about we start over?" Hermione asked.
"Sure!" Jenna said, she had made her first friend here, not like she had any in Beubaxtons except Michelle, but that was different, Michelle was her sister, Hermione was a friend…a real friend.
"I also might've been overly grouchy, and cranky. Sorry." Jenna said apologizing.
"That's okay, oops, it's getting near Transfiguration, we should go."
Jenna nodded and the two left the bathroom heading towards Transfiguration.
-Back To Fred-
Fred had skipped Potions entirely…now he was in for it with Snape, but he didn't care, he had made his list.
The list looked long but it asked useful questions, at least to Fred…he looked quite proud at it and swaggered up to the seventh year boys dormitory.
That night Fred came back from the common room looking very proud, he sported two slap marks and many bruises, but he had gotten answers…not from Harry, but from Hermione, apparently the girls had been sharing facts about themselves with each other and within the day, Hermione had gotten to known a lot about Jenna and had told Jenna a lot about herself.
--
Ohhh…Fred's got answers! What're they gonna be? Stay tuned for the next chapter of Mesmerized By Your Eyes…even though it has literally nothing to do with eyes…it fits in somehow…Heehee…I love this story already, please review! No flames, constructive criticism only, and it better not be criticism on my OC…cuz that will be considered a flame! Specially if it's saying she's to Mary Sueish...excuse me for trying! Ohkay...enough pissy offing...Happy New Year everyone! Is now off to work on LL and DA and AR...am I missing any? Just updated CIF
