So, I was taken off guard this mourning. I woke up around 5:00. Went back to bed and for about fifty minutes I would wake up every ten minutes waiting for my alarm to go off. Then finally when I fall asleep… my alarm goes off. I was so pissed! Also, friends and viewers of this story, thanks for all the helpful and positive feed back. Also I miss spelled Allyson's name. It was a giant mistake and she and Prongs told me that I spelled it wrong… Also girly you review! I know where you live!
DO not OWN Harry Potter. Wish I did, but I DO not. Ha ha, see what I did there?
How did I get into the middle of this?… There was a weird feeling in the room. It was like a weight was pressing down from the top of the room. "Vance go back to your dormitory." Snape said, taking a step in. James glared at him, "No Jess, stay here." There was a giant decision to make. Either she listen to a man she called her Uncle or a man she had to spend seven years with and who could potentially make her life a living hell for that time. "Vance dorms now!" Snape snapped.
"Don't you speak to her like that!"
"Can I just go to bed?" Jess asked, she was tired and didn't want to listen to arguing… Why are they even glaring at each other? "Ms. Vance, go back to your dorms." it was Albus this time. He looked irritated in the doorway. Jess turned, ducked under Albus's arm, and ran to the Slytherin dormitories. Zack was sitting in a chair reading a comic book while Sierra was painting her nails Green and Silver. The portrait door opened then slammed shut, "Careful!" it shouted from the other side. Zack looked up, "Oh, hey. How you detention?" he asked. Zack was let go early because he kept talking during the whole punishment. Jess shrugged, "I washed cauldrons. That's about it but I don't think he'll make me do that the whole time." she muttered. Sierra glanced up as Jess slumped next to her, "Tired sweetie?" she asked. Jess nodded and started to doze off on Sierra's shoulder. Once small snores filled the room Zack stood up, "Oh, what are we going to do with her?" he asked, picking her up. Sierra shrugged, "Feed her to the Squid in the lake?" To be honest that wasn't a bad idea.
It finally was Friday. It seemed like everything was happy and joyful but it couldn't have been worse. "Jess, it will be fine. Snape isn't that bad if you stay on his good side." Katie said as they made their way out of the Great Hall. "Yea, but I haven't seen him or had detention since Tuesday. I have no idea if Uncle James and him got into it. And he might want to kill me!" Jess said, counting each thing off her finger. Katie rolled her eyes, "First, you don't need to see him. Second, James is smarter than picking a fight with a Professor. Third, He wont kill you! Anyway, I got to go to Transfiguration. See you later." she said, running up the stairs. Jess swallowed hard as she made her way down the steps to the dungeons. It was cold down there, an evil chill. "Jessie wait up!" Sierra called, running down the steps. "Potions, I'm going to fail. But I really don't care." she laughed. Jess nodded as she checked for anything over her shoulder. As she turned back around Zack popped out from behind a suit of armor, "RAWR!" he shouted. The two girls screamed, "You ass Zack!" Sierra snapped. He started to laugh as they stopped in front of the potions lab, "I hate this door." Jess whispered. The others looked at her, "Why?" Zack said, grabbing the knob and trying to turn it. "The hell?" he muttered. "Enter!" Snape shouted from the inside. A crowd started to form out the door, "We can't. Open the door and we can!" someone shouted in the crowd. Zack jiggled the handle, "OPEN!" he shouted, putting his feet on both sides of the doorknob and pulling. Everyone started to talk at once, "Just open the door!" Snape shouted from the other side. Finally the door swung the opposite way Zack was pulling, "I did it!" he shouted. Jess and Sierra shook their heads while Snape glared at Zack, who was still on the door. Once everyone was settled into their seats, Jess sitting next to Sierra. And Zack to his horror next to Erin. "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion making," he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word - like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." Jess felt that the last sentence was aimed at her. Just a little bit. Then he started to go down the row of students, "Harry…Potter." he sneered. Uh oh, he's going to pick on the Boy Who Lived. Poor kid, better him then me though. Questions were asked, people laughed. Sierra was cracking up while Snape kept sneering. Jess shook her head, they were all rude. "Hmm, let's try you Kelly." Sierra went white and that's when Jess snickered into her hand. "Professor you just picked on the wrong person. I know nothing about anything that you just said and I will never want to learn about what you just said." Sierra said. "Vance, shove it!" Snape snapped. Jess went red and looked at her lap. She started to giggle loudly, this always happened when a teacher yelled at her. "You think it's funny. Fine, Vance what happens if you do not put boomslang skin in a pollyjuice potion?" he growled. Polly what? I don't know, but I can't say that. He'll chew me out. "Um… I pass?" she said. This made him very upset and he got right in her face. He's going to kill me! Katie was wrong! "For your information it's a DNA extract. Ten points from Slytherin!" He shouted. He turned from her but Sierra had to hold Jess back as she jumped out of her seat to kill him. Finally after a long hour of Potions and emotions abuse they were let free. Jess was rubbing her temples on the way to the Great Hall. Katie caught up with them and as they walked in, discussing what had happened no one saw Erin stick her leg out as they were walking by. It happened all so fast, Jess caught it and started to fall forward. Casey went and grabbed her cloak, trying to stop her but she turned mid fall and landed on her leg with a deafening pop and a crunch.
