Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one except the obvious characters. Jessie being the main one. The amazing things go to JK Rowling, that lucky woman.
By the way my pottermore username is SpellJinx140 if anyone is interested. I have recived my welcome email. :) Infact because of it, this chapter is up.
Perviously-
When she finished her cereal and put the bowl in the sink. "I'll read them when I wake up." She said walking to their room, stepping over her sleeping dog in the middle of the hallway, then crawling into her bed still wearing her uniform. Sirius came in after her and laid on the other side of the bed he was on before he went to the kitchen.
"Are you changing?" He asked.
"No." she said, closing her eyes. "Good night."
Rose walked into her kitchen when she woke up the next morning and watched her dad butter his toast.
"I talked to Victoria last night." He said, not looking at her. "She thinks you should go to school."
"Does that mean we can go to Diagon Alley?" She asked excitedly.
He sighed and looked at her. "I'm still not sure."
Rose frowned "Alright… I could always go by myself if you can't take me."
He frowned back. "You're going to go no matter what I say, aren't you."
She nodded.
"Fine. I'll take you later." He said angrily, putting his piece of toast onto a plate with pancakes.
Rose nodded, still unhappy he didn't want her to go. She went up to her room and began to pack.
"Jess." Sirius poked Jessie as she lay with her face covered by the blankets.
She slapped his hand away "Noooo… I don't want to go to work."
"Get up! It's already 9am."
She rolled onto her side and frowned at him as she tucked her tangled, loose curls behind her ear. "Then why would you wake me up? I go at noon!"
"Because," he started seriously "A letter came for you. I think it's from someone at the ministry and once again I cannot open it." He held the letter in front of her face.
She snatched it out of his hands and opened it. The letter came out of the envelope the and floated in front of them, the fold opened and closed as it said loudly:
Dear Ms. Scott,
Your presence is requested in my office at 10:00am today, July 30th.
Your Minister, Cornelius Fudge.
Jessie rolled out of bed and hurried to the shower. She used her wand to throw her uniform out of the washroom and onto the bed. "Can you wash those?" She called as she started the water, not waiting for a reply.
Sirius picked up the robed and sniffed them before cringing. "These smell worse than my clothes." He closed the washroom door before quickly throwing the dirty robes in the hamper and grabbing her a fresh pair and laid them out on the bed for her.
"Just wear clean ones!" He told her before going to the kitchen.
Jessie hurried to get dressed and brush her teeth before drying her hair.
As she walked out of the bedroom she grabbed the other letters she had gotten the day before and opened the one from Rose and frowned as she read it over.
Jessie walked towards the fireplace, stuffing the letter in her pocket while leaving the one from Severus on the kitchen counter. "I need to get going… If you need anything else just owl" Quickly she hurried to work before something else stopped her.
Before Sirius could say anything she was gone. He frowned and looked at the unopened envelope she had left behind. He sighed and grabbed it, holding it up to the light trying to read what as on the parchment inside. There were quite a few pages, making it very difficult to read.
His eyes fell on the wax seal keeping it closed. Sirius tried to lift it off with his fingers but as soon as he touched it, it became sticky. Finally he began to try and bite the wax off, but his lips became stuck to it.
He groaned.
Once Jessie was at the ministry she looked at a clock and saw she was a little early but merged with the large crowd of ministry employees and went to Fudge's office.
Once there his secretary sends her into his office and she sees Kingsley, Barty Crouch Sr., and Fudge looking at her.
"Ah, Jamie!" Fudge smiled "How are you this lovely morning?"
She smiled back "I'm well Sir, thank you." She stood next to Kingsley, they both looked at the other two men.
"We have come to inform you that the Tri Wizard Tournament will be help at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will have students and their headmasters coming to Hogwarts to participate in this event." Crouch told them. "I'm sure you two understand what a big deal this is."
The two nodded in unison.
"Students have died in this tournament and we are determined to not let it happen this year along with any cheating." Fudge said "We have one person we think needs to be watch."
"Who might that be?" Jessie raised a brow.
"Egor Karkaroff."
Silence filled the room for a moment before Jessie asked in clarification "You would like us to keep our eyes on Egor Karkaroff during this school year… so you are sending us to Hogwarts?"
Fudge grinned "You should feel right at home. You've taught at Hogwarts for the past two years now the only difference is you won't be attending any class."
She sighed, not looking forward to going back to Hogwarts.
"Will you two accept?"
"I will." Kingsley said, looking at Jessie who reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Splendid!" He clapped his hands together. "You two will arrive with Mr. Crouch. You are dismissed for the day. Tomorrow you will leave for Durmstrang and from there you will go to Hogwarts!"
Kingsley followed Jessie partner out of the office. "So much for hoping our work load would decrease." He muttered "I feel as though there will be more twenty-four hour work days."
"The Tri Wizard Tournament is something we all need to be prepared for." Dumbledore told the staff in his office. "In preparation I have invited Alastor Moody to come teach with us and he accepted gladly." He smiled to them all. "The minister has been kind enough to have a few Aurors come to Hogwarts to prevent any harm coming to the champions during and in between tasks. No teacher is allowed to assist any of the champions and no student under the age of seventeen can enter. With more Durmstrang restrictions and supervisors we are hoping to keep things as safe as possible with the tasks we are giving them."
"Aurors?" Minerva asked, raising a brow. "You are letting more ministry employees interfere with Hogwarts?"
"They will not be interfering with Hogwarts. They are watching over the champions." He told her seriously. "I'm sure some of the Aurors will be more than willing to work with us." The old mad paused. He turned his attention to one staff member in particular. "Severus?"
Severus looked up threw his long hair. "Yes, Headmaster?"
"Have you heard from-"
"No." He said with a hint of anger. His black eyes glistened as they looked onto the headmaster's blue ones.
"Oh." Dumbledore paused for moment. "Have you written h-"
"No." He lied coolly.
"Ahh." He nodded once, not believing it for a moment. "I'm sure she will be here soon enough." Dumbledore grinned at Severus, whose body stiffened.
"Very well." He replied.
"Excellent." Dumbledore continued to grin at his whole staff. "You are all free to the rest of your evenings."
They fled from the office, going back to their own quarters.
"It's strange, don't the two of you usually write to one another?" Minerva asked, walking next to Severus.
He scowled and didn't look at her as he replied defensively "Why would I waist my valuable time writing to someone who probably wouldn't even write back? My life doesn't revolve around some headstrong woman I've known for over half my life. If I had something I needed to say to her surely I would have done it in person.
Minerva sighed "It would be sensible! One would thing you would keep in touch with her."
"Well I don't." He snapped.
She rolled her eyes and continued to her room.
Severus walked quickly down to the dungeons, his robes blowing behind him.
Sirius finally pulled the envelope off of his lips, leaving behind a few small chunks of wax, and looked around the house for Roxy. He found her laying on the bed and he walked over to her, placing his index finger on one side of her mouth and his thumb on the other trying to open it.
"Come on, don't you want to rip up something?"
Roxy looked at him and growled.
He continued to try and to open her mouth, only earning more growls and a loud back. He growled back angrily at her before trying to rip off the top of the envelope.
"What are you doing?"
He jumped and spun around. "Jessie… What are you doing home?"
Jessie stood in the door way "I'm being sent to Durmstrang and then to Hogwarts to supervise with Kingsley."
He raised a brow "Supervise?"
"What are you doing?" She asked, walking in front of him, looking at the wax on his lips and the letter in his hand.
"I'm…" He stared at her, "Admiring your beauty."
"With wax from the seal on your lips?" She crossed her arms.
Sirius frowned "I want to know what's in this letter." He held it up.
Jessie frowned and took the letter out of his hand "It's obviously private, besides I don't even know what it is."
"Why is Snape writing you?" He spat his name.
"Why is Remus writing you?"
Sirius frowned deeper "Fine, I won't try to read your mail. Now why are you going to Durmstrang… and Hogwarts?"
Jessie sighed "To babysit."
Thanks so much to my reviewers! The exciting thing should start in the next chapter. I am trying to hurry along the boring parts.
