Chapter 4:

The Swan Lady's Mark

Jasmine was packing her trunks.

The plan had worked just like she thought it would; fireworks had bursted throw the school, frogs with wings had flied (while singing) around students, Madame Roussel was transfigurated into a little dog and she had burnt the Swan Lady's Mark (picture above) in the Great Hall's doors.

The Swan Lady was the biggest prankster ever and every school (soon Hogwarts as well) had lived to see her pranks. Nobody had suspected her; would you suspect the shy, smart girl, that doesn't talk much and is victim of most of the pranks? No. It's not like you would be able to see her, either; she would always wear a white dress and white mask, hiding her fiery red hair.

Every time she wanted to move on, she either let herself being caught (which wasn't easy as she was very sneaky) or she confessed. As soon as Madame Maxime entered, demanding the Swan Lady to make an appearance, Jasmine had stood up and said : ,,It was me".

Obviously nobody believed her, but a couple of tricks showed the Headmistress everything she needed to know and soon, she was expelled. At first Madame Maxine didn't want to; Jasmine Evans was her best student and gave her school better reputation! But then she remembered all that pranks she had played and made he decision.

Beaming, Jasmine had sent her parents a letter (who weren't that happy about her expulsion) and had wrote Professor Dumbledore, who was more than happy to accept her.

And now, there she was, her trunks packing themselves in record speed (thank god she was a witch) while she was writing two letters; after all she would need to tell Severus and Petunia!

Dear Tuney, she wrote,

I hope everything is going alright at home. Are mom and dad okay? Are you okay? I hope so. Guess what? Yes, I've been expelled from Beauxbatons, (I maybe confessed that I was the Swan Lady) and now I am going to Hogwarts! I can't believe it and I am so exited! The only thing I dread of is seeing Lily again. She's so mean, isn't she? Talking about Lily, have you been drinking the potion I made you? The lilac one? As I said, you need to drink it every day and the bruises she left you would be gone in a couple of days. I hope you are getting better

Lots of love,

Jasmine

Jasmine folded the letter and gave it to her owl, Crystal. Crystal was a beautiful, snowy owl and Jasmine head bought her at the age of eleven, while Lily (ugh, Lily) had bought a barn owl, named Hades (coincidence?). However, Petunia had caught Lily pretending that her owl' name was Crystal. Instantly, she had informed Jasmine via letter and Jasmine, getting angry because Lily was jumping in her life, stealing her life, had played the prank that sent her out of h first school.

But that didn't matter now; she was going to Hogwarts and that was all what mattered! Next se wrote a letter to Severus, informing him and left her room, her trunks floating behind her. She went to the Hall, entered the chimney, threw floo powder and clearly said: ,,Hogwarts!"

Then everything started whirling around.
