Chapter 5 now up! sorry it took so long


I sat at the end on the end of my bed really, really frustrated. I mean what you pack when you are going away for months on end and not return until winter break. That is like three months away! And all I have is two suitcases how am I going to fit all my clothes in two suitcases? Yes I know I am winging but clothes are nearly as important to me as Jesse is. Well not nearly as important. Nothing is as important to me as Jesse is but what ever.

Anyway, what about laundry, I don't want to be wearing gross smelling clothes, Jesse wont want to come near me if I stink. Ooooh damn it. This is going to be so difficult. Why did I even agree to this? Wait scratch that. I already know why, I was adopted and have a twin brother living in England.

"Mom!" I whined shouting down the stairs. "What do I pack?"

"Well you're going to England"

Duh. "I know that, I'm not stupid!"

"Honey, you're missing the point, in England its winter and is no doubt a touch colder than it is here in California"

Oh, she's good. Now why didn't I think of that? "Thank you!"

Ok so basically all I need to pack are t-shirts, jeans and anything warm and Skirts are defiantly a no then. Perhaps I could sneakily slip one in, so I can look good for Jesse. It's not as if it's a crime to look good for my boyfriend once in a while. Anyway I sincerely doubt that it is that cold in England


"Ah", my bags were finally packed and very skilfully if I do say so myself.

"Oh Shit!" Ahem pardon my French, but my shoes! I forgot to pack my shoes. Ok. Calm down Suze, just calm down. You're just going to have to unpack a whole two hours worth of luggage, nothing to get angry about.

David peered his head round my door, "Suze, is anything wrong, I thought I heard someone shouting?"

"Oh, no I'm fine, I was just err… singing."

"Singing?" He eyed me suspiciously.

"Yeah, singing, you know the one 'shine Jesus shine, fill this land with the father's glory- ahem and so on" I tried to look convincing, though I doubt he bought it

"I'm not sure if I'm familiar with that one, but if you're ok then I guess I'll be going now".

"Ok", I smiled as he walked out the door.


So I guess in about three hours I'll be leaving for England.

"HOLY CRAP! I'm leaving for England in three hours!"

"Language please Querida"

Ooops, Jesses here early. "I didn't hear you coming up the stairs"

"That is because you would have been to busy shouting obscenities at the time"

"Sorry" I mumbled.

"Though it's not as if I don't hear you swearing in Spanish all the time" "I do not!" he said in horror. I raised my eyebrows at that untrue statement, a useful trait which I have acquired from Jesse. "Alright" he confessed "maybe I do, but at least no one understands what I'm saying"

"True and I think that it is very unfair"

I mock punched him and wrapped my arm around his waist forgetting our pathetic argument.

"So are you all packed?" I inquired hoping to divert the to a different subject

"Si, but I don't think you can say the same, would you like me to help?" I didn't particularly want him to see my panties and bras and stuff, buthes gonna see them sooner or later so he better start getting used to them now.

"Please" I over exaggeratedly fluttered my eyes and gave him the poor pathetic puppy dog face.

"You know how do they expect me to fit all my stuff in two measly suitcases?"

"Well for starters Susannah, I doubt the people there are as vain as you", I laughed knowing that he was only teasing.


I jumped up of Jesse whom I had been passionately kissing for the past half hour when a tremendous explosion erupted from downstairs in the living room,

"What the hell was that!" I screamed whilst darting my head round the room like a crazy person.

"I'm not sure" I could hear the nervousness seeping into Jesse's voice, "let's go and see".

He gripped my hand tightly and we proceeded down the stairs.

There stood in the middle of the lounge was a man withred hair that was tied back into a pony tail, soon to be followed by a woman with pink hair and stripy socks casually striding out the fire place. Hello? Did my family not care? Am I the only one that is freaked out by two complete strangerswalking out the chimney like friggingSanta Claus? Oooh and they're in trouble, Andy's not going to be happy now they put soot all over his new Persian rug.

Red head started speaking in a very British accent and said, "How do you do. My name is Bill Weasly, and this is Nimpfadora (A/N s.p?) Tonks, and it is a pleasure to meet you". I held onto Jesse's hand tighter.

"I presume you are Susannah Simon and Hector de Silva".

"Huh?" I had barley been paying attention to what they were saying, my gaze was to transfixed on the woman with magic multicoloured hair that kept changing.

"Yes we are" Jesse said. He always keeps a level head in a crisis, that's one of the reasons why I love him.

"Well then, we better be going now" the lady said whist placing a silvery powder in my hand.

"Err what is this?" I asked whilst examining the stuff with a upturned nose. Jesse elbowed me in the side, "don't do that Querida or you'll get wrinkles". I scowled at his un-funniness but he continued to chuckle to himself.

They both grinned at each other noticing my slight frustration. "Its floo powder, you throw it into the fire and they say where you want to go."

"I don't want to" I stated matter of factly.

"but you have to" they glanced at each other with quizzical looks "It's the only way you can get to the Burrow with out travelling on one of those flying machines that muggles use". Muggle? What the hell is a muggle? It sounds like one of those lame insults the British use, he better not be insulting me or he's gonna get a taste of my fist in his face.

"Firstly do not call me things that I don't know the meaning of, it's bad enough when Jesse does it and secondly I'm not particularly enthusiastic about walking into a fire and getting my butt singed off"

They smirked at each other probably thinking I was a complete dense, and "don't get your panties in a twist, this fire is different and 100 safe".

"Ok then" I answered dubiously " I guess I trust you, but you guys can get my bags they weigh a ton" "Susannah" whatever Jesse, I wasn't being rude, my bags really were heavy!

With that they swished their wands (you know I gotta get me one of those) and both mine and Jesses bags appeared on the floor.

"Cool!"

If doing magic means you get to fun stuff like this then hand me a pen and sign my up right away.

I said goodbye to my mom who was already crying, I told her that I would be gone for only three month but that strangely made her cry even more, weird. Something that's even weirder though is that I actually hugged Dopey, I know! Strange, perhaps all this emotional stuff does something to the brain.

"Ladies first"

Jesse said gesturing toward the fire. Even now after I have strenuously tried to converthim into a 21st Century man he's still far too gentlemanly for his own good. Old habits die hard I guess. Personally I think he was just to chicken tom go in first ha!

I threw the glittery stuff into the fire and watched it swirl a bright green. Here goes nothing. I walked into the fire with my eyes tightly shut "The Burrow" then took a deep breath which instantly i knewwas a bad idea as my throat filled with dust and started coughing uncontrollably.

Moments later I landed flat on my face in the middle of a kitchen full of shocked people staring at me curiously. Shortly after that Jesse rolled along the floor hurtling towards me them squished me under his 6"2, 180 pound frame. Quite a scary thing when he is blocking off your air supply. He quickly jumped off when he saw me there and offered me a hand.

"Querida, are you ok"

"Yup I'm peachy" I said in an un-attractive raspy voice "no damage done". I brushed some invisible lint of my beige Capri pants and faced the crowd, seriously there were that many people. Also no one was speaking which felt really awkward they were just, staring.

"hmm this is difficult" I muttered inaudibly. "Hi…err… my name is Susannah Simon but you can call me Suze and this is my boyfriend Jesse de Silva".

A bigger version of David was first to speak, though by the sounds of it without the brains of David if ya know what I mean. "Who the bloody hell are you!" excuse me? Rude much. His mom hit him on the back of the head and gave me an apologetic smile.

"Nice to meet your acquaintance Mr is that an R on your sweater?"

"jeez this is a family full of mommies boys" the last part was only loud enough for Jesse to hear "Susannah be polite" he hissed. "Yeah, yeah, yeah" personally I couldn't care less. At least they were nice enough tot take me into their wonderful home, though the world interesting might be more fitting for it.

"Hello Susannah dear" she said very enthusiastically "I'm Molly, Molly Weasly. My I haven't seen you since you were only a couple of days old, but you sure do look like your mother same eyes and face. How is your Aunt Helen by the way?"

Wow she knew my mom, I mean my biological mom that is.

"Oh my mom- err Helen is great".

"Well that's good to hear". I smiled at her weakly.

I took in my surroundings and saw 6 people who I presumed were in the same family (they had the trade-mark red hair), a girl with wild, frizzy brown hair- boy could she use a good dose of frizz ease (Bad Suze! It's wrong to make comments on peoples appearances). Hmmm I wonder if she and Mr R are a couple they are sat daaangerously close. Lastly was a skinny and brown haired boy with green eyes. Oh god! This must be Harry I thought, suddenly I wasn't feeling so good, Jesse must have noticed as he slipped his hand in mine and squeezed it supportively. That is another reason why I love him; he calms me down when I panic or when things turn disastrously wrong.

"Hi, you must be Harry." I stuck out my hand to shake his "I'm Suze Simon or well I guess my real name is Suze Potter and um… I am your twin sister"

He coughed rather loudly, I think he was choking on some bread or something.

"Come again" his voice had also gone shy and squeaky, cute. It took him a while to process the information.

He nodded as if he were agreeing to something. "So you're my sister then?"

Well duh, that's what I just said.

"Yeah I got a letter from some Dumblweed guy and-"

"It's Dumbledore Susannah" Jesse interjected.

"Yeah that's the one. In the letter it says that there was a prophecy made about a boy born in June, and was to defeat a guy called Voldermort with the help of a powerful shifter, that shifter being me. A fake prophecy was made only mentioning you and that was to try and keep me safe, divert him from the real prophecy and stop him from conquering the world or something. Anyway I was shipped off to America and live with my aunt and to be raised like a normal child, but I wasn't normal because I can see ghosts and shift and – please stop me if I am making no sense" I cut off to get my breath back.

"Querida, it is a very hard art to learn Susannah talk and even I only caught a fraction of what you just said."

"Sorry"

Mr R, who I later found out is called Ronald started speaking again, man doesn't that guy ever stay quiet.

"Just out of plain curiosity what is a mediator/shifter?"

"Mediators are people who can see, speak to and touch the dead, allowing is to get a little physical when necessary. (Eeew, I mean punch them and stuff, not physical stuff!) Shifters can do all that but can also time travel, shift from place to place" I demonstrated this by shifting onto Ronald's back, he squealed like a sissy. Childish I know but I just couldn't resist the temptation, "and we can also move things telekinetically"

"Wow" Ronald said.

Do I have to keep calling him Ronald? Why not Ronny? You know when I was in 3rd grade we had an Australian Teacher called Ronny Grazdil. Me and Gina made this crazy song about him that goes 'Weener, Grazilina is a weener, he puts his hand down his pants oh yes!' Ahem sorry I'm getting a bit to carried away down memory lane. But that song cracked me up, little did we know the meaning of the song at the time hehe. God! Shut up Suze! They do not want to hear your creepy childhood memories!

"So when do I get to meet the famous Dumbledore then? He seems pretty cool".

They shuffled round nervously. Was it something I said?

"Dumbledore is dead Suze. He got murdered by one of our teachers last year"

"Oh"

"Why don't you children pop of to bed?" Molly said, "It's getting late and I'm sure Suze is tired, you have a big day ahead of you" I gave her an appreciative look.

"Ron, Jesse can stay with you and Harry, and Suze, you can stay with Ginny and Hermione".

They all hurriedly ran off to their rooms while Jesse and I walked at a much slower pace.

"Jesse, I'm scared. I miss mom and even Brad, it's not natural!"

"I'm sure you'll get used to it in time Querida" he was using that soft silky voice that he know makes me go all weak at the knees.

"I know but everything is changing, the only normal thing left that keeps me sane is you."

"well, I shall take that as a compliment them" and then he leaned down and gave me a very nice kiss on the lips thenonly to be disturbed by a red faced Hermione mumbling about how she had lost her cat. oh that was funny, have you never seen anyone kiss before?Now was a good enough time to bid our farewells.

"Night Jesse"

"Good night Querida, te amo"

"I love you to".


"So" Ginny said in a some what nosey manner "Your Jesse is very good looking isn't he. What do you think Hermione?" She nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes Jesse is very good lookingand he's mine ladies so hands off. I had to exorcise myself and time travel to make him alive again so you better not mess all that up" I know I was being rude but I was far to tired to sound respectable.

"What do you mean by make him alive again?" Jeez Simon why did you have to open you mouth?

"Well Jesse was murdered by his cousin Maria lover Diego, as she was in an arranged marriage to Jesse but wanted to marry Diego. His ghost lived in my bedroom for 150 years. Then some creep called Paul came along and he wanted me but couldn't have me as I loved Jesse. So he made a plan to go back to 1850 and stop him from dieing. Then Jesse and I jumped from a burning barn and I accidentally brought his body back to the present day resulting in Jesse being alive. God you guy have got to stop me, it's not a wise idea to encourage my rambling."

"That is so sweet you must really love him" I smiled a goofy smile at the thought.

Hermione had been very quiet, now was a perfect time to interrogate her. "Hermione I noticed that you and Ronald are very close, might I be right in thinking that you are a couple?" She blushed for like the 7 millionth time that day. You have got to keep that under control woman I , it's a dead give away.

"How old is Jesse? Random. I laughed at her patheticdiversion.

"20"

"That's a bit old for you don't you think? I doubt Harry will be very happy when he finds out"

"I have known Harry for a matter of hours; it's a bit presumptuous for him to think that he has any say in my love lifewhat so ever".

I let out a small huff and pulled the blankets over my head. Before I fell asleep I faintly remember hearing the sounds of giggling.

Pfft. You know what I bet their just jealous.
