Regulus was waiting for his friends in the Slytherin common room so they could go to eat Breakfast. There is one week left till the winter holidays and everyone is happy about it.
But Jessica is not. That means that she will have to go home and see her fucking family. And yes, she had planned to stay, but she got a letter from Euphemia some days ago that broke her.
---------------------
Jessica was sitting in her bed listening to David Bowie while drawing something in a sketchbook she had, when she noticed something outside her window. It was her family owl. She let the owl come in and then she took the letter to read it.
Dear Jessica E. Potter
We know you've been fighting with your brother James and we are really disappointed. After you ended up in Slytherin, you are very different. It's been six years and you're still mean to everyone.
We are sending you this for you to apologize to James and also to tell you that unfortunately, you are coming home for the holidays. We hate to say that we've been invited to a very important celebration and you can't stay in hogwarts. Try to change yourself and be a nice girl for us. This "Party" is extremely important and if you dare ruin it, the consequence will be even bigger than sending you to Beauxbatons.
Also, we got a letter from Dumbledore saying that you're the new PA of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good job, but don't think that being good at that will help you to stay in Hogwarts. The decision is done and you should thank your brother by helping us. He's our lovely son and you are just being mean to him.
----------------------------
When Peter, Remus and Sirius took her to the forest, they showed her that they were animagus too. They also said that James was one as well but she really didn't care.
She sat in the great hall with Regulus, Severus and Evan waiting for Dumbledore to start his talk.
"Good evening everyone. You may be wondering why we gathered you here today. The answer for that is very simple. Some of you may have heard of the Triwizard tournament. A three tasks competition with two other schools. This year, we thought of something great with the schools Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. As the Triwizard tournament is a very dangerous competition and only one person from each school can participate, we had a better idea. Most of you love quidditch, and we had the idea to set up a quidditch "tournament". Each school will have three teams with different students and you will compete for the final Cup. If you are interested in entering one of these teams, then I invite you tomorrow to the quidditch pitch to the tryouts. If your skills are good enough, you will be randomly chosen to one of the three teams. I want to clarify that the tryouts are for people who are older than 14 and the captains of each team are: Evan Rosier team one, James Potter team two, and Regulus Black team three. Also, the foreighn students will come tomorrow and at the end of the week, we will have a ball to celebrate the tournament so I recommend you to choose your date to the dance before this friday arrives. You can begin to eat"he said after his long speech.
"Sooo" Evan said smiling to us "Who are you taking to the ball?" he asked with a smile in his face
"Don't know. I'm probably not going" Jessica said
"Why not? Please don't leave me alone with this two idiots" Severus said
"Please Severus. We both know you are not going either" She said laughing
"You're right. In that case, don't let them alone. They are too stupid to be left alone in such an important event" he said
"Both of you, shut up please. We're not that stupid" Regulus said defending him and Evan
"You know you are" Jessica said
"I don't know if you guys remembered I asked something literally a minute ago" Evan said complaining because no one focused on his question
"Yeah Rosier, we remember. I said no one because I'm not going, Severus isn't going as well and dear Reggie didn't say anything" She said
"You both should come" Regulus said "It will be fun and we can go as friends. The four of us"
"Fine. I'll go. But don't expect me to go with anyone of you because you three are dickheads" she said leaving the hall to go to the dorms
"I'm sure she will find a date by the end of the week" Evan said
"No way. She's going alone" Severus said
"She will probably come with me" Regulus said and both of his friends looked at him with a smile "What? I mean, she's like my sister. She will come with me" He said
"Yeah sure. And I'm in love with Slughorn" Evan said "Let's bet. We all disagree, so the one who is right will win twenty galleons"
"I'm in" Severus said
"Me too" Regulus agreed
