Chapter 2

One year later...

Jessica sat at the window seat in her bedroom watching the snow fall outside and thinking about the year that passed so quickly. The news her aunt Susan had revealed were a shock and everything that followed was strange and exciting, but if someone had told her two years ago that her life would turn out like that she would have laughed at them.

Recollecting the events of the previous year and all the magic she had witnessed and performed, Jessica couldn't imagine her world without it. After her aunt had revealed who she was Jessica wanted to know everything.

So her aunt told her that in their family every other generation a mage was born and that there are different type of mages. The thing that made mages different from witches was that they could controll the elements, so there were mages who controlled the air, the fire, the water and the earth. They were named for the element they controlled so there were Fire Mages, Water Mages etc.

But once in a while there was a mage who could controll all four elements and in addition to those had white magic, but they were very rare and very powerfull. In their family there had been only two before Jessica.

When her aunt had reached that point in her story she got up from the table and went to her room. When she returned she carried a small jewelery box, which she put on the table and motioned for Jessica to open. When she did so Jessica saw a clear diamond inside so beautiful it reflected the light that fell on it in all the directions. Her aunt told her diamonds are very good for storing magic and that this particular one belonged to the first mage in their family. It had been passed from one mage to the next and each one put their knowledge and spells and everything they thought would be helpfull to future generations in it. To open and unlock the magic in it, the next mage had to bleed on it, it would recognize the blood and reveal everything to that person and it had to be worn by the mage at all times.

Remembering that point of the events of the previous year, Jessica reached up to touch the nose ring she wore. She always wanted to pierce her nose and when she looked at the diamond in its little box that was the first thought she had. She had asked her aunt to shrink it magically and put in white gold casing and went the very next day to pierce her nose. When she got home she cut her finger and put it on the diamond. At first nothing happened, but after a few seconds the stone absorbed her blood and became blood red. It seemed to pulsate and then it shone a pure white light almost blinding, making Jessica blink. When she could open her eyes properly again the ring looked normal and there were no traces of blood, even her finger looked normal, as if it were never cut.

That night when she could finally fall asleep, Jessica saw all her mage relatives in her dream. She could see what each of them had put in the diamond and it all became her own. One of har relatives had photographic memory and only had to read something once or see something and would remember it forever. The next one, who inherited the photographic memory, had the ability to store the knowledge it her head in categories, to be able to access whenever she wished. Another knew different languages. All of them had put the spells they knew and had learned in the stone, some of them so old that they weren't used anymore and some invented by the mages themselves.

From the other two white mages she learned she could teleport, but only to places she had been before, and she could teleport objects and flying spells and direct them where she wanted. She could also use the white magic to create a magic barrier around her thoughts, so that not even the most powerful legilimens could read her thoughts.

Jessica had slept three whole days through her learning, making her aunt quite worried. When she woke up her aunt looked at her surprised and then chuckled, saying that finally the glamour that was put on her as a child must have lifted while she learned. Jessica ran to the mirror, confused what her aunt ment. What she saw in the mirror almost made her faint.

Instead of the plain brown hair and eyes she was used to seeing, she saw a different person. She now had very long black wavy hair, it almost reached her hips, and vivid green almond shaped eyes, that looked very exotic. Her normal nose was now small and cute and her lips full. She was also taller, almost 5'7''.

'' Now I guess you will need a wand, huh?'' her aunt said looking at her with a smile. Even though mages could do wandless magic, a wand was a natural thing to have.

'' If I remember correctly'' Jessica said indicating the ring'' the best wands are made by vampires around here.''

After that her aunt had taken some weeks off work and they went to North Russia where the vampires lived. They were hostile at first, but when they find out that Jessica was a mage they changed their mind and let the stay. A wand was made for Jessica to use, but the wand maker refused to tell from what, saying that his wands were unique and especially made for each person so as to be perfect. When they had to leave, Jessica was offered the choice to stay as long as she wanted and she had accepted. She had stayed there almost ten months and had returned only a few weeks ago home. Her aunt had promised to tell her what had happened in the magical world and what the situation was these days, tonight at dinner.

Jessica couldn't wait to learn the truth. After all she adored the Harry Potter books and especially Sirius Black for whom she had cried when he was killed in the Order of the Phoenix book.

A/N. OK sorry if this was boring and long. I just wanted you to know what her powers were and didn't want to linger on her learning them. I will try to make it more interesting.
