(Jess)
"Jess sweetie, we need to talk to you." Mum said to me, leading me into the lounge and shutting the door so the boys couldn't hear.
"What is it? Who are they?" I asked, looking at Harry and three strangely dressed men sitting on our big chocolate brown sofa.
"This isn't going to be easy, but I'm just going to say it. Jess, we're not your parents. I wish we were but we/re not. You're adopted." Dad said holding my hand.
What do they mean, I was adopted? There are pictures of mum holding me when I was a baby! They were all lies. No, this has got to be a joke, I thought.
"Hahaha, very funny, dad. Now really, what is it you wanted to tell me?" I joked with him.
"Jess I'm not lying! This is Harry, your real brother." dad said seriously.
"And that not it, sweetie. This is going to sound crazy, but you're... a witch. As in, a magic witch." Mum said.
I stood up shaking. No one, and I mean no one told me, in the 14 years that I had been alive, that 1) I was adopted and 2) that I was some sort of witch. Oh my God that explained so much! Like the time a rat appeared on Katie Swallow's head in year 3 because she was being mean to me, and like the time the light in the dining room exploded because I couldn't sit next to my friend. Everything now made sense.
"Why, why now? Why are you telling me now? What's so special about NOW?" I shouted at everyone.
"Because you're in mortal danger." one of the strange men said simply.
"Right let me get this straight. I'm adopted, I have 'magic' powers and he's my bloody brother." I snapped at them all.
One of the strange men brought a strange wooden thing out of his pocket and pointed at the candles mum was obsessed with rearranging every week.
"Lumen Ignis." He said. The candles lit almost immediately.
"Oh my God." I said in shock.
"Your brother was marked for death when you were six months old by an evil wizard called Lord Voldemort. Your parents both agreed to send you into hiding and to protect Harry. When Voldemort went to kill Harry, he ended up killing both of your parents. However, when he tried to kill Harry the curse failed and rebound and hit him, but last year he returned from, well, not exactly the dead…he returned to full strength. Now some of his followers have found where you are and will stop at nothing to get you." said the strangest look of the all wizards sitting on my sofa as he had a very weird glass eye, which was round as a coin and electric blue.
I couldn't take it. This was just all too much. I could feel it all about to come out. I felt a massive tear roll down my cheek. I made a run for it up the stairs to my very messy room. I grabbed my desk and pushed it up against the door and started pilling heavy things on top of it.
My whole life had been lies. The people I had called family weren't my family at all. I needed to let my feelings out. I grabbed my CD player and turned on to full volume Mcfly's Party Girl. I glared at my alarm clock on the wall and it smashed in a thousand pieces. I sat down on my bed and start to cry. I needed to talk to someone and fast. Georgia, that was who. She was the most supportive of my friends.
"Hello, hello!" Georgia said chirpily, obviously not knowing what had happened.
"Georgia." I said in a stuffily.
"Hey, hey. What's up, sweetie?" She said sympathetically, with an edge of panic to her voice. Georgia didn't like it when people cried.
"I'm adopted! Actually bloody adopted and my parents didn't tell me!" I cried, starting cry again.
"Oh sweetie! Oh my God! Ok, umm, do you wanna come to mine? Or it might be better for you to go to Jade's as it would be really tight with you staying here." She whispered so her parents couldn't hear.
"Ok I'm going to go to Jade's. I'm gonna pack my bag and I'm going. I'll call you when I get to Jade's." I said with no need to whisper as my McFly CD was covering up my every word.
I ran across my room and upended my school bag onto my bed. I shoved most the clothes from one draw in the bag and some clothes I had on the floor. I could hear someone trying to push the door open, and I knew I had to be quick. Grabbing my uniform and some socks and pushing them in I zipped my bag up. I grabbed my black Halloween lipstick and wrote one word on my mirror: 'SORRY X'.
I opened the window as far as it would go and threw the bag out of it. I grabbed the gutter and started climb down. It was really cold, and when I reached the ground I ran.

When we finally managed to get the bedroom door opened I could see the all of the doors of Jess's chest of drawers were open and completely empty. Her CD player was playing a loud song, obviously to cover the noise of what she was doing.
I turned around to see that on her mirror written in black was 'SORRY X'
I knew what that meant. She'd gone. I didn't know where but all I knew is that she had run away.
I sat down on her bed and buried my head in my hands. Her room was quite messy but pretty. The theme was clearly black and white. Most of the things were black and white apart from a bright pink cuddly rabbit that was lying in her pillow with pride.
"That's Tesco. A bit of a weird name I know, but she loves it to bits. I gave it to her when she was born." Sirius said, picking the rabbit up.
I look round and saw a picture of five teenage girls looking as though they were having so much fun. The picture had clearly been edited on a computer as all the girls had their name under their picture.
One of the girls is Jess. She has her arm around a girl with bright red hair and heavy black eye make-up wearing a pink jumper dress, black leggings and Uggs who is labelled Georgia. Georgia is standing next to a girl with purpley-brown hair wearing a black leather jacket, black skinny jeans and black biker boots who is labelled Emma. Emma is next to a girl with dark brown hair named Jade, who's wearing jeggings and a long purple t-shirt with Converse shoes. Jade is next to a girl with red/brown hair in basic jeans and a hoodie with trainers who is labelled Amy.
They are all laughing at the camera and each girl has their arm around the person next to them.
I picked the photo up and looked at it. Jess looked like she loved these girls a lot. This meant she could be at one of their houses!
"Look Harry, maybe she needs some space to take all of this in." Lupin said patting me on the shoulder.
Looking round her room, I noticed she had a guitar sitting in the corne of the room with music sheets laid messily around it.
She had many posters on her walls of bands like One Direction and Mcfly and of a film called The Twilight Saga. Most of the surfaces were covered in either make-up, screwed up pieces of paper, CDs, DVDs and other rubbish.
"We will find her, Harry, ok?" Sirius told me, giving me a reassuring hug.
'Ok.' I agreed.
I hope you liked it please review, any will be welcome anything you would like happening, helpful criticism or just that you like it. I will update soon promise!
