Chapter 8: Missing You
The rest of Jane's day was pretty good except for the fact that she was gone for most of her first class and her professor, Professor Snape wasn't so happy about it. When she had first got into class he asked why she was so late getting here. She told him that she had to go talk to the headmaster about something that had come up. He wasn't so keen on having her arrive late, so he let it slip this time, but if she was late again her house will lose house points. Jane had made a mental note about that.
But, besides that, she had had a good morning. She had Transfiguration for her second class and that was good. Then she had Charms for her third class. Finally, she had Herbology as her fourth class. Jane as four classes in the morning and then lunch in the Great Hall. Jane was actually on her way back to the Great Hall when she met up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Hello Jane," Hermione said greeting Jane. "How has your morning been?"
"It has been good except for my first class with Professor Snape," answered Jane.
"Ah, yes. Professor Snape," Ron said grouchily. "He always has to ruin your day, but at least you have it first so you can just get it out of the way."
"Yep, luckily I have it first," agreed Jane. There was a loud noise as the four students walked into the Great Hall.
"What was the sound?" asked Jane.
"Probably Ron's stomach," suggested Hermione.
"You're probably right Hermione," agreed Harry.
"Hey! I have feelings too, you know," Ron argued. All four of them laughed as they all sat down to eat their lunch.
Before Jane knew it, all of her classes were done and she had the afternoon to finish all of her homework. Jane had just got out of her last class and started to walk towards the Gryffindor Common room. On her way there, she met up with Harry and Ron.
"Hey, Jane! How have your classes been?" wondered Harry.
"My classes have been good. I got some homework to do for some of my classes, but nothing much as happened. How about you?"
"Classes going pretty good. I also have homework to do. I suggest you do your homework in the library. It is much quieter there besides the Gryffindor Common Room," suggested Harry.
"Thanks for the suggestion Harry, but I am going to the common room," Jane said back to Harry. "Are you going to the common room?" she asked Harry and Ron.
"Nope, we have somewhere else to go, but we will see you in the common room before dinner. Okay? See yah!" Ron said as Harry and Ron left. Jane just kept on walking towards the common room.
That night, Jane had a great dinner in the Great Hall. She ate some pasta with some chicken, salad, carrots, and broccoli along with some milk to drink. She met some new people also. She met Ron's twin brothers, Fred and George Weasley. Jane also met Ron's only sister, Ginny, which she found out that this is her first year at Hogwarts also. Once Jane got back to the Gryffindor Common Room, she was stuffed from the dinner. She sat down on the couch next to the fireplace.
"Ugh. I'm stuffed," she said.
"I bet you are," Ron bet. Ron sat down next to Jane on the red-orange couch. Jane sighed.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Ron questioned.
"No, no. Nothing is wrong, it's just that I am full," was all Jane said. As the night went on, people kept on going to bed and soon it was just Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Jane that were up. All of the other students had gone to bed. The fireplace was on. Jane watched from the couch as the flames of the fire danced in circles. The fire felt hot and warm as Jane put out her feet.
"We should get to bed," Hermione said. "It's getting late."
"I agree, Hermione," Jane said. So, Hermione and Jane went up to their dorm room and went to bed. The two boys stayed downstairs for a little bit, until they too, would go to bed. In bed, Jane thought about her first day here and how exciting it was. She had her classes and she loved them all except for potions. She got to learn how to fly a broomstick, which was totally awesome. "I think I might even try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Harry had told me that he was the seeker for the team, so maybe I can be part of the team." All of these thoughts rushed through her head like a car race where they go like 70-80 or more miles per hour. Jane had seen car races but never got really interested in them. Sarah's husband was interested in the race cars. Jane remembered when she as like 7 or 8 and going to see a car race. Sarah had decided to go see one for Jane's birthday. Jane liked it a lot, but after that, she never really wanted to go see one again. Just the thought of Sarah, made Jane cry and for the first time in her life, she cried. Jane has never cried before. She has only cried when her guardians, Sarah, and her husband, got her something big for her birthday and when they did that, Jane would burst into tears, but those tears aren't because she is sad. Those tears were tears of happiness and Sarah knew that every time she would do it. Jane sighed and wiped the tears away. She turned over on her side. "I need to write a letter to Sarah," thought Jane. "You know what, that's what I will do tomorrow in the afternoon. I will write a letter to Sarah explaining everything that has happened so far. I love you, Sarah!" With that thought in mind, Jane closed her eyes and dreamed she was with Sarah, back at her home in England and before she knew it, she was sound asleep.
AN: I don't own Harry Potter. The only characters I own are Jane, Sarah, and any other characters that I made up. (Last edited 3/7/17)
