In Fine Print
Jessica jumped at first, but then she recognized her mother's voice. She was home for lunch. Jessica quickly checked the time; It was already 12:30, and she was starving. She put her wand back on her night side table, and stuffed the Marauder's Map under her pillow. She then left her room, went down the stairs, and entered the kitchen.
"Hey Mum."
"Hey honey. Want some lunch?"
"Yes, please," Jessica replied.
As Ginny made and served their lunch, Jessica said very little. She kept thinking about what she read, or actually, saw, in her mother's journal. Like how her cousin, Ryan Weasley, resembled both his parents very much. He was a big joker like her Uncle Ron, but yet very smart like her Aunt Hermione. He was in her year at Hogwarts, and also a Gryffindor. They got along pretty well.
She also compared her enemy, Megan, to her father. Draco Malfoy acted exactly like her. She was a Slytherin, no doubt, and a snob.
She then realized that Neville and Julia were standing together in the Great Hall the day her parents got together. She found this uncanny because, to this day, her parents are still friends with the married couple. Jessica began thinking of her two best friends, Nicole and Lauren. They were her dorm mates, and practically her sisters. She began to miss them, even though she only left school for the summer holidays a week ago.
Soon enough, Ginny had to get back to St. Mungo's and with a quick kiss to Jessica, she disapparated. Jessica cleaned up, and ran back up to her room, and retrieved her wand and the Map. She waited a few moments to make sure nothing would interrupt her, when she finally did the spell.
She pointed her wand on the blank wad of parchment and chanted, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."
Black ink started appearing on the parchment, and Jessica grew excited. She couldn't wait to see who was walking along the Hogwarts corridors on this summer day. But when the picture became clear, it wasn't what she expected at all. Hogwarts wasn't shown on the Map. Instead, it was a map of Great Britain.
"Bloody hell, I'm confused," Jessica exclaimed. She studied the map. Nothing looked unusual, except for the fact it wasn't a map of Hogwarts. It looked like a Muggle map. As she continued surveying it, she noticed a phrase in the corner, written in fine, but tiny print. She squinted to read it. It said: Sugarplum.
"Sugarplum?" Jessica asked rhetorically.
The feeling in the pit of her stomach told her she'd be viewing the past, again.
