Chapter 8: What is Good News Without Sharing It?
liesltheweasl- gracias for your support!
HaliJade Snape- lol i had no idea i had annonymous reviewers disabled. Yeah, Jake is the son of Ron and Hermione. Thanks for still reviewing!
becky - i'm glad you like how i did Jake, and thanks for reviewing. I guess it is kind of strange that Hermione and Ron's kids are older. I guess i
just thought that Hermione and Ron would start having kids soon after school, whereas Ginny and Harry would wait for a while.
Disclaimer - see early chapters
AN - Updates are going to be much less frequent now, not only do i have to write more of the story, not just edit it, but i have finals and all these
end of the year projects. It's like my teachers are like 'oh, its almost the end of the year? We must cram all this work we didn't give our students
down their throat!So basically i have less time. This chapter is really short too, sorry.
"So I take it you weren't punished then?" question Jimmie, slightly irritated as he had been doing an incredibly difficult to finish potions essay when Jake had dragged them all to a corner of the common room. The essay had taken Evie an hour to complete, which equaled three hours for him to complete.
"Of course he didn't. Shut up and listen." Evie scolded her brother, giving him a cold glare, which reminded him all too much of his mother, making him shiver. Evie then turned back to Jake, a brilliant proud grin on her face. "Tell them Jake." She squeaked. Jake smiled gratefully at her.
"Okay, you'll never believe it. I am good at something." He stated. They all stared at him for a minute as he looked at them expectantly. Jess cleared her throat.
"Um Jake, dear. I know that in itself is a great feat. However, I am sure that we would all be even more impressed than we already are if you would tell us what it is you are good at." Jake grinned wider.
"Oh right." He said, causing all of them to roll their eyes. "I am apparently a prodigy in wandless magic." He said, managing to uncontrollably puff out his chest slightly. Ethan grinned instantly, Jimmie thought for a second, trying to remember what exactly wandlesss magic was, even though it was painfully obvious. A look of realization crossed his face, then did the same as Ethan. Drea looked entirely lost, Ethan grabbed her wrist, whispered something in her ear, her eyes widened. She then squealed in happiness for Jake. This attracted the attention of several students around them. When Drea noticed this she blushed furiously and stepped closer to Evie. Evie turned to Jake.
"Well yes we're happy for you of course, but go tell your family!" she encouraged him. He nodded, and searched blindly through the common room. It was just curfew so most of the students in Gryffindor were in the common room, and hadn't turned in for bed yet. Leah was the first one he found, and he found her alone. He looked at her as if she was missing a head.
"Where's Lauren?" he asked, slightly perturbed. Leah glared at him.
"What we're not always together." She snapped. Then it dawned on him, they had had a fight. He opened his mouth to say some snide remark. But thought better and closed it.
"Okay whatever. Could you find her, and Aaron, and Em if you can possible find her. I have to tell you guys something." She looked slightly miffed at having to talk to her twin again, but nodded.
"Alright, for you little brother." She said with reluctance in her voice and walked off.
Soon, Jake had a small assembly in front of him. All of his siblings were there, except Emily of course, but that didn't surprise him. Being head girl she didn't even sleep in the Gryffindor common room.
Jake smiled nervously at them all, and then told his small little tale. Needless to say they were all very happy for him. Leah and Lauren immediately hugged him at the same time. Then proceeded to hug each other, obviously making up for whatever they were fighting about. Aaron gave him a pat on the back.
"Don't worry, I'll get word to Emily. Don't forget to write mum and dad. Night genius." He said and then Jake was alone yet again. Instead of pulling out the potions essay, the same assignment that Jimmie had been working on earlier, he dragged out a blank piece of parchment and quill.
Dear Mum and Dad,
You'll never believe it. You'll never even believe I'm actually writing to you. But seriously you can ask Headmaster McGonagall is you don't believe me. Apparently I'm incredibly gifted at wandless magic. I'm being transferred to the third year class. See I told you that you'd never believe me. See you guys as Christmas.
Love,
Jake Weasley
AN - even though this chapter was a little pointless, i would still love reviews on it
