Chapter 3- The Unforgivable Curses

All seven kids arrived at Hermione's house at 5:00 PM, just in time for dinner. "Hello guys," Mr. Granger greeted them as they walked in, "Who's your friend?"

"This is Jenna," Fred and George said in unison.

"I invited her for dinner if that's ok," Hermione said walking into the kitchen. Mr. Granger stroked his chin, "We already have eight people. What's one more?" They all smile. Happy that their new friend could stay.

"So, tell us a little about yourself Jenna," Mrs. Granger said as they started to eat dinner, "What do you like to do?"

"Well, I, Um, I like to read and write an awful lot," She said.

Hermione smiled, "I guess we have a lot in common then." Jenna smiled back and nodded. Jenna was strange indeed but the more unusual she was the more they wanted to talk to her. But everyone was silent for several moments as Fred and George talked among themselves. Harry finally spoke up. "Where are you staying," he asked Jenna.

"Oh, the Leaky Cauldron in London."

"With your parents?"

"By myself."

"Your mother doesn't mind?" Mrs. Granger asked. The question seemed to bother Jenna. Her face grew still and her eyes wandered down to her plate. "My mother is dead." They all grew silent as she spoke those horrifying words of her dark past. Jenna took another bite of her salad, thoughts racing through her head. Oh no they're going to ask what happened. I know it. Should I lie? I don't want to. I won't but it'll be a shock.

"I'm sorry," said Hermione out of the silence, "What happened?" Jenna took a deep breath and looked at Hermione. "My mother died under the imperious curse."

Mr. Granger spoke up immediately, "Well I'm sure that man is rotting in prison."

"I wish that were true," Jenna mumbled taking another bite of dinner.

"He's not in prison?"

"No," Jenna looked up at them, "Voldemort is too strong for any of the Aurors to catch him." Harry dropped his fork at the sound of the dark lord's name. "Voldemort!" he exclaimed, "Voldemort killed your mother?"

For the rest of dinner everyone was silent. But it was an awkward silence, much like when you are with a small group of people waiting for the news of your grandfather's death. A kind of silence where you don't know if you should say something or just wait for someone else to proceed. In this silence you feel dark and lonesome. The whole world stops spinning as you await the silence to be broken. Harry knew how to break this silence. He slid his foot gently touching Hermione's under the table. She looked up at him. He wanted her to speak so he egged her on with his eyes. Hermione smiled at him implying her giving into him.

"Dinner was excellent Mom," She said helping to clear the table. Everyone agreed. They all helped clean up and then the seven kids went into the living room.

"So," Hermione said, "Jenna I was interested in that book you're reading. Can you tall us a bit about it." Jenna nodded and reached for the book in her bag. Lord Voldemort and the Unforgivable curses

"Well," Jenna started, "It's about the three unforgivable curses. The Imperious curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Killing curse of course. The Cruciatus curse causes intolerable pain, a sort of torturing spell. The killing curse is self-explanatory. It kills someone instantly. Of course you know Harry here is the only one who ever survived which stuns me. And last there is the Imperious Curse, which cause you to be under all command of the spell caster. If you were to use any of them you'll be forced to go to Azkaban forever. It's dreadful."

Hermione thought for a moment. "You know," She said, "I have a book you might like. I'll go get." Hermione left the room along with Ron and Harry. And George left into the kitchen with Ginny, So, it was only Fred and Jenna. The two were silent for several moments. "Ya know," Fred finally spoke up, "All that dark magic stuff gives me the Hebbie Jebbies." Jenna laughed out loud at Fred's comment and Fred laughed too. "Ya know what else," Fred asked. Jenna shook her head.

Fred looked at her, "I think you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." Jenna looked around in confusion. "This was set up wasn't it."

"Well I asked them to leave so I could tell you."

Jenna smiled, "You're not too bad looking yourself." At that moment the doorbell rang interrupting their conversation. "That's probably my father," Fred said, "He's supposed to be picking me up." The two walked into the foyer and joined the rest of them. Mr. Weasley walked in and immediately recognized Jenna. "Why hello Jenna Riddle. I haven't seen you since you were a little girl." Jenna stood there wide-eyed. Hermione was first to question it, "I thought your name was Jenna Kowalzyk." Jenna grew very nervous as the truth started to unfold.
