CHAPTER 3

By the time Ginny was ready to go it was around 11 o'clock. She said it was crucial that we did not get caught. As much as I just wanted to break apart I kept a happy face on. While waiting for the right time to leave, I promised myself that I was going to make more friends in my house. Ginny wanting to show me something.. out of all her friends.. made me feel like I could actually gain Gryffindor respect since I had been hanging with Slytherin my whole time at Hogwarts. I was also very curious to what was so important.

"Kay, be quiet be ver- MY GOD JENNIFER HOW CAN YOU STEP ON EVERY LOUD STEP!" Ginny put her hand over her mouth as she realized she screamed the last part. She looked around and grabbed my hand and started sprinting towards where ever we were going.

She started slowing down as we got to a giant room. Ginny quickly unlocked the door and pushed me inside. She turned on the lights and I noticed the room was completely bare.

"Ginny.. this is really great. Can I go to bed now?" I asked, I was slightly disappointed, I was expecting something big.. not just a useless room.

"Oh shut up!" She whipped out her wand and I defensively went to get mine, great now she wanted to duel. "No, Put that back." she started pointing at my wand. She started talking really fast making hand movements and gasping for breath between every long long sentence.

"Ginny...slow the fuck down." I sat down in the middle of the room, tucking a loose stand of hair behind my ear.

"I found this spell, I don't know what it does." She paused, looking a bit worried. "The counter curse isn't really known yet. And uh, anything that happens in the room.. does NOT go to the headmaster kay?" I nodded.. not sure what was about to happen.

"So, you want to try it out or something?" I wondered why she didn't choose Hermione to do this daring task.

"Well yea.. except it has to be used on a person." She smiled innocently.

"WHAT!" I'm sure my eyes widened as I realized she wanted to do this spell.. on me. I jumped off the floor and started shaking my head and backing away.

"You have to! It's for a class." She whimpered. I was about to say something but she squinted and pointed her wand at me. "Tempore!" She screeched, closing her eyes.

"Fuck!" I yelled and started seeing Ginny and the rest of the room fade as I was hit with a world of black.

I woke up with a pounding headache and sore all over. Looking around I noticed I was back in the Gryffindor girl's dormitories. Something was different.. I just couldn't place it. I stumbled out of bed and thankful that Ginny made me go out with my school clothes on as I was unable to find my other belongings. Just as I was about walk out the door for breakfast a girl that reminded me of Ginny, because of the red hair, burst into the dorm. I had never seen her in my entire life but she was gorgeous. Her auburn hair was tired in a perfect ponytail and her grass green eyes tinted with just the right amount of makeup. It didn't surprise me that I had never seen her before, since I didn't pay much attention to anyone other then May or Draco since as long as I could remember.

"Uhm hi." I said, not really meaning to say anything at all. I internally kicked myself for speaking.

"Oh hello there!" She smiled showing off great white teeth. A shade of confusion swept over her face. "If you don't mind me sounding blunt but, who are you?" She questioned.

"Oh I'm Jennifer Geynivlle. Sixth year." I held out my hand and she quickly shook it. "And who are you?" I asked, now wondering why she was attempting to gather things from a room that she didn't use.

"I'm Lily Evans... say, would you like to join me in breakfast once I'm don- why are you looking at me like that?" She put her hands on her hips and awaited my response.

I had only heard that name about a thousand times. Lily Evans. That was the name of Harry Potter's mother. Harry Potter's mother had red hair and green eyes. Harry Potter's mother died before I was even considered a witch. Something was defiantly wrong here.

"So would you?" She asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I nodded yes and sat on the bed waiting for her to finish gathering all different sorts of things. She placed piles of clothes on a smooth well made bed and turned around to look at me again. "Do you want this Daily Prophet? I might be like five more minutes.." She didn't wait for me to answer and shoved the paper into my hands. I looked at the date: September 2, 1976. What the hell?

"This is an old paper right?" I asked, not taking my eyes off the date.

"Uh.. no?" She didn't turn to look at me this time and finally stopped doing who-knows-what and straightened up.

"What the fuck did Ginny do?" I asked aloud, and quickly apologized for saying my thoughts aloud as Lily just gave me an awkward look.

"So uh, you ready to go?" She slipped into her robe and motioned for me to join her. I hurried after her as she fast walked down the corridor trying to reach the Great Hall before breakfast was over.

Once we reached the Gyriffindor table Lily sat down next to a brunette girl and across from four good-looking boys. She looked up at me and patted the chair next to her and I immediately sat down. "This is Jennifer Geynivlle, she's well.. I haven't seen her before and I don't know why." She squinted at me with confusion but shrugged and looked away. I bit my lip, thinking about what happened with Ginny.

"I'm James Potter." Said one of the guys across the table. He was a spitting image of Harry, only James was handsomer and has even messier hair. If that was possible. I smiled his way and he continued speaking. "This is Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew." He said pointing to each member as he said their name. I see Lily rolling her eyes as Potter spoke. Remus was well built and had brown hair that would randomly poke out in different places. Peter wasn't as handsome as the others but wasn't terribly ugly. He was only slightly chubby and was nervous. He was the only one that didn't smile when being introduced. Sirius took the cake for me. His black hair grazing his eyebrows and had dark eyes that were filled with laughter. He was absolutely, undoubtedly, and undeniably hot. Just plain hot. I was just about to start a conversation with him when I was tapped on the shoulder by a concerned looking Dumbledore.

"My office. Now." He waited for my to get out of my seat and Lily mouthed something I didn't understand. I walked behind the headmaster as every single Hogwarts student looked at me with questioning eyes. He lead me to his office and I sat in a plush seat.

"So Jennifer. Tell me how you got here?" He sat behind his desk, popping tart looking candies in his mouth.

"Well.." I wondered how he could possibly know. I looked at him with the question in my eyes.

"Ahh. I see." He smiled and continued on. "I do not remember seeing you.. at all. I went and asked all the professors and all the students and not one has heard of you. So tell me Jennifer, how did you get here?" I still had questions to ask him like how he knew my name and why he cared so much that he had not seen me. Yet I knew that I would have to tell him about Ginny. I had to tell him about everything.

After about fifteen minutes of me just telling him about the whole thing, he just nodded and asked, "What did the girl say again?" He asked.

"Tempore." I remembered.

"Oh dear, I'm afraid that undoing that spell has not been done before." He went into a distorted look and waved it away immediately. "I'll have to figure something out. until then, I will tell the professors that you are to be taking classes here." He got up from behind his desk and looked into my eyes. "I'll get you out of this alright?" The old headmaster then handed me a new course sheet that his wand made appear. I sighed and left the office.
