She readjusted herself and began again with her story.
As she exited the train she saw all the frightened first years but she didn't show any sympathy towards them since she had to go through it. She hurried towards the horseless carriage and jumped in. Luckily no one was inside the carriage left before any more passengers could get in. She thought to herself 'This is turning out to be a good year….it is has only been a few hours…things will change… but for now I will just be happy.'
The carriage stopped and she jumped out and ran up to the school as to get out of the rain. She walked into the Great Hall and sat down near the end of the Slytherin table where she always sat. Seeing as she didn't like to talk people so she made it so she didn't have to converse with them so she sat by herself. No one liked to sit at the end so she would be by herself.
She watched as people came in and settled down at their tables. Finally everyone had come in except the first years but that was obvious because of the Sorting Ceremony. Dumbledore stood up and made everyone quiet down so he could say a few words. "Now we all know we are to be on our best behavior and help the first years out. Please this year try and do this." And he sat down, while some at their tables started giggling to themselves. She overheard someone say "Yeah, us help the first years, maybe help them in a trash can."
The first years were led in by Professor McGonagall. They were scared and weren't sure what was going on. One by one they were called to the front and Professor placed the Sorting Hat on their head and they were sorted. They were excited to finally be placed in a house and ran to the table and sat down. The Ceremony finished and everyone ate.
Time went by and everyone was getting settled into a routine so it made it easier. Well in Professor Snapes class he was starting to assign partners for a project that they would have to do. Secretly Professor Dumbledore told all of the Professors that if they had partner work they were to put Jessica and Dorado together they weren't sure why but they did as he said.
So the day Snape announced that they were getting partners everyone was excited except Jessica. Snape called out her name she went to the front of the room and then called out Dorado's name. Her heart raced as Dorado got up and came to the front of the room. She thought 'why am I getting placed with him…wait why should I care…I like him…but' she had lost her train of thought because Snape made them go sit down at a different table. She was happy but he looked miserable.
After class she had free time so she went to the common room to start on their project in her mind she knew he wasn't going to help her. So she walked into the common room and sat by the far window and started reading the assignment. A little while later Dorado comes in with his gang and they were just a yelling. Dorado was ticked because he had to work with me. He said "Why do I have to work with her she doesn't talk to anybody and she is just weird." She just listened to them all put her down and she realized that…that was how everyone thought about her. They didn't realize she was in there and she started crying and thought 'well I might as well run away now… there is no need to stay here anymore.' She got up to leave the room and that was when they saw her. They didn't feel guilty about anything and she just walked by them.
She left the common room and that is where she ran into Professor Dumbledore and he said he needed to talk to her. She said "Ok when do you want to talk?" He replied "Right now… just go up to my office and wait I have to do something." She nodded and watched him walk away then she headed straight towards his office. She walked up the statue "Cockroach Cluster" and the statue moved. She headed up the stairs and opened the door and she sat down. She looked at Fawkes and all the other random instruments in his office. She sat waiting for about fifteen minutes and then Dumbledore and Dorado walked in.
She was confused "Dumbledore I thought you wanted to talk to me?" she asked. Dorado was shocked to hear her speak "You know how to talk?" he teased. She just looked at him and then back to Dumbledore. Dumbledore motioned for them both to sit down. They both sat but not next to each other. She sat on the stairs behind Dumbledore and Dorado sat on the couch. Dumbledore made her go and sit on the couch. He sat down at his desk and began looking at some papers. Dorado says "Ok Dumbledore what did you want?" Dumbledore looked up from the papers and asked Dorado "Have your parents ever told you that you were to marry a certain person?" Dorado said "I was told that I was going to but then the girl's parents disappeared and they said it was off." He then turned to Jessica "Have your parents ever told you that?" She shook her head. Dumbledore picked up the papers he was looking at and handed them to Jessica and said do you recognize these papers. She looked at them and then said "Aren't these the ones that I gave you the night we left my parents house?" He nodded and then told her to read them. She read through them slowly and when she had finished she looked up at Dumbledore and then towards Dorado and back again. She was in shock from what she had just read. It couldn't be true, it just couldn't be. She finally said "Dumbledore this can't be true it just can't be I don't believe it." Dorado said "What is it?"
She stopped and said "I need a drink of water." Dorado ran to get a glass and he brought it back to her. "Thank You." And she started again.
