She stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for a few days until it was time to go to King's Cross and get on the train to school. She was so excited, she couldn't wait to start. Her parents spoke so highly of the school…she stopped - the thought of her parents brought tears to her eyes. She shook her head as to get the thoughts out of her mind.

The time came for her to start packing. She made sure everything was straight in her trunk and headed off towards King's Cross Station. When she got there she proceeded through Platform ¾. She was amazed at how many kids were there. It was so noisy and loud but amazing. She hopped on to the train, found a compartment to herself, and sat down. It was a long trip to the school. She started to read her schoolbooks. Finally the train stopped and someone yelled," First years!"

She got up and followed him. He was a very tall man with a beard, but he didn't say his name. The moment she saw the school she was in awe. It was so beautiful. The castle was lit up so exuberantly. They walked inside the school.

She said, "This is amazing."

The walked into the Great Hall and she lost her breath. She and the rest of the first years walked to the front where Professor McGonagall was standing. She was ready to start school. She wasn't afraid of anything. She called out names in alphabetical order, and when she got to B, she called out "Black, Jess. "

She walked up and sat on the stool while Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on her head. The Sorting Hat sat there thinking and thinking…it was going between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. All she thought was 'I hope I get put in a good house.' It thought on this for a while and finally decided on Slytherin. She was excited to be in a house; any old house would do.

As her first year started, she went to Professor Dumbledore and asked him about changing her last name to Guesstoffnon. When he asked her why, she replied, "Because of my parents being killed. I don't know who killed them and whether or not he is after me, so I thought if I did that, then he won't be able to find me. Dumbledore agreed and let all the teachers know that she had changed her last name.

As the year went by, she studied all the time. She didn't really talk to anyone – besides, they all thought she was weird, and didn't understand how she got put in Slytherin. She certainly didn't seem to be like one of them. She was more timid then outspoken. She was very brave but she could think things through.

The year finally ended, and she went anywhere but home, because she didn't have a home anymore. She had money - she used what was in her parents' and her own bank account- so she lived on her own. No one even knew her parents were dead yet, so she could do what she wanted to.

The summer dragged on and nothing of interest happened. Normally she found herself in a library, reading away. She went to Diagon Alley and got her schoolbooks for the next year.

The summer finally ended she was ready to get back to school. She packed her things and headed to King's Cross Station.

The train ride went like it usually did, and she was happy that she was going somewhere where she could learn and study and be safe. She didn't really feel safe all summer because there was no one there to protect her.

The year started, and she kept to herself, studying all the time. She didn't have any friends - just her books and papers. People thought she was strange and didn't even want to talk to her, and as a result she was usually by herself. But she didn't mind, because that meant that she could work and study.

As the year came to an end, Dumbledore called Jess to his office and told her he found a family for her to stay with over the summer.

"Who?" she asked.

"The Malfoys," He told her.

So that summer she ended up staying with the Malfoys. They were the best of the wizard families. They had a son named Draco. They really didn't get along because he was younger than her. All through the summer she did work for Lucius. She cleaned house and odd sorts of things for them and didn't get to study at all. She hated living there - she wished she could go back to living on her own, but Dumbledore didn't want her to do that, and insisted that she stay with the Malfoys.

Finally, she got to go to Diagon Alley and get her books. "The summer is almost over," she thought to herself. She got to leave early because they said she could leave, and she headed for the train. She was so relived to finally leave.

Her third year started, and it went the same as the year before. She didn't talk to really anyone unless she had to, and as a result people said she was even more strange. However, everyone wanted to be her partner in class because she always made good grades. She knew they were using her, but she didn't mind because they would leave her alone and let her get her work done. She went through the year without worrying about anything except the end of the year, when she had to go back to the Malfoys.

The summer started, and it was the same as before, except this time Draco kept telling her that when school started she wasn't allowed to tell anyone that she was living with him and his family, because he didn't want to be known as the 'boy who has the weird girl living with him.' She agreed and went back to her work. She got to go get her books and was allowed this time to read them. Now when it came time to leave, she wasn't allowed to be seen with the Malfoy family, so she left earlier than they did, and was happy to do it. She got on the train and sat by herself all the way to the school.

Her fourth year started the same as usual. Throughout the year, Draco would nag her about not telling anyone about her staying with him over the summer.

She was starting to get really upset about it all and finally said, "Look, I get it. You don't want people to know that I am staying with you. And no one will find out. But you could stop nagging me? You know, someone might suspect something - you are always talking to me."

After that he stopped nagging her and starting hanging out with a guy in her year named Dorado. She had a crush on him but he didn't like her and she knew that. She kept up her way of studying and not letting anyone, or for that matter any guy, in. The year came to an end and she returned to the Malfoys' house.

The summer started they made her work all summer as punishment for the way she had treated Draco during school. At one point, Draco came up to her one and said,

"This will teach you to boss me around." She just shook her head. She really wanted to say something back to him in retaliation, but knew she couldn't - she would get more work. Finally, they went to get their books - of course not together, but she didn't mind that. The summer came to an end, and she was extremely happy.

They headed to the train like they had the summer before, but this time she wasn't by herself. This time she had to sit with Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Dorado. The majority of the time she sat looking out the window and didn't say anything. That didn't matter because they didn't even realize she was in there until she got up and got a book out of her trunk. They looked at her like she was scum, and then went back to talking about whatever they were talking about. The year started and she did the same as before kept to herself, made perfect grades and all of that. She wasn't ready for the summer to come but it did.

"I wasn't ready for what happened next and neither were some other people but it all happened and there wasn't anything anyone could have done to stop it." She stopped and continued with her story.
