He loves me, he loves me not. (A harry potter story)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

After the whole incident with Draco, Harry seemed to have a new found respect for this girl, and decided to take her to Hogesmeade with him, on the way there they talked a little bit about Jes's muggle life and Harry was facinated by the description of the muggle high school's. He himself had never been to one as his uncle and aunt forbad him, they told the neighbour's that he was away at a reform school- when in reality he was hidden away for 11 years in a cupboard.

He was glad that he was able to have a conversation with someone without hearing the words ''MERLIN! YOUR THE BOY WHO LIVED!'' Harry told Jeselle all about how he came to Hogwarts, and the Dursely's lying to him about his parents, how he met Ron and Hermione, about his adventures in the last few years and about Cedric Diggory's death.

At the end his rant, Jes sent him an apologetic look, ''It wasn't your fault, his death I mean.''

Harry gave a dry chuckle, ''You have no idea how many times I've heard that,'' they didn't have time to talk about anything else as they had reached Hogesmeade. He was about to ask her about her past when he heard someone call his name,

''Harry!'' they spun around to see Hermione Granger running to them slightly out of breath, Harry sent Jeselle an apologetic smile and walked over to his friend,

''Yes Hermione?'' he said as she reached them.

''Oh hello Jeselle, Harrry I must speak with you urgently and. Alone'' he gaze flickered to Jes and she shook her head at the two with the smile.

''Well I guess I'll see you lot later,'' she waved at them as Hermione dragged Harry away he was trying to say something to Jes but Hermione was talking his ear away. Jes looked away and around the area she was in, there were lots of people around her witches and wizards of all sorts. She even spotted some students from Hogwarts, and after wandering around aimlessly for awhile. She came to a stop at a small resturant-shop sort of a thing that had a sign written ''Three broomsticks''

''Jeselle, fancy seeing you here,'' she heard a sing-song voice say and almost immediately recognised it,

''Hello Luna,'' she said as she turned to her friend. Luna had a smile on her face and that faraway look in her eyes, her blonde waist-length hair was braided with leaves and tied with a lily at the end. She still had her jewellery- that consisted of a feather necklace, earrings that looked like they had been made of corks, and chunky vine bangles- she had slippers on although the temperature was freezing, a thin cardigan with a long fluffly scarf and jeans that had rips on the knees.

''H-hello Jeselle,'' she tore her gaze away from her er-colourful- friend to see a shy, awkward boy standing there looking rather nervously at his feet and offered him a warm smile,

''Hello Neville!'' he blushed slightly but gave a short wave.

''Gosh it's freezing isn't it?'' Jes said and pulled her heavy jumper around her tighter, Luna nodded in agreement,

''Oh I could do with a butterbeer right now! Shall we?'' she said and walked into the shop with Neville hot on her tail, Jes had no idead what a butterbeer was but shrugged and followed the two.

And boy was she glad she did.

As soon as she had walked in, warmth flooded her, there were dozens of people laughing and talking around her and a piano in the corner playing all by itself, there was a woman bustling around with huge kegs of a what seemed to be the colour of Ginger ale but with foam at the top. ''Pardon me lovlies!'' she told the three teenagers as she made her way to a table.

''That's the owner, Madam Rosmerta.'' Neville said shyly, nd Jes couldn't help but notice how pretty and young she looked, she was laughing at something a man was telling her before shaking her head and making her way back to the front of the pub. Jes immediately recognised the three people sitting on the tables that Madam Rosmerta was waiting,

''Fred! George!'' she yelled and waved to get their attention, they looked up slightly startled before grinning and beaconed her over to them.

Jes looked over at Luna and Neville hesitantly, Luna shook her head and smiled,

''Go on then, we'll meet you back at school,'' Jes hugged her friend and sent Neville a smile before walking over to the table at which the twins and Lee Jordon were sitting at,

 ''Hello there,'' Lee greeted and sent her a flirtatious smile she shook her head as Fred smacked him on the head,

''How'd you get here?'' George asked, as Lee muttered profanities at his mate, Jes sat on the empty chair and smiled at the three of them, Jes hesitated before telling them the incident with Draco and Harry, leaving out their talk- and how he brought her here, but had to go with Hermione and finished with meeting Luna and Neville. At the end of it all George and Lee had tears of laughter in their eyes,

''YOU slapped Draco Malfoy!? Merlin! I wish I saw that!'' Fred on the other hand remained silent which made Jes uncomfortable, after awhile their laughter died down. Turning into chuckles, George and Lee got up and Jes sent them a quizzical look.

''We're off then, to the shop. Freddie will explain, see you later Jes,'' George siad with a small laugh while Lee winked,

''Yeah, see you.''

Fred waited until they were out of sight, and exploded, ''I'll kill him, who does he think he is!? Threating you like that! A calling you a mudblood! I'll sort that git out I'll-''

''Fred calm down!'' she placed a hand on his arm and pulled him back down in his seat,

''Calm down!? How do I calm down Jeselle! That bloody bloke is going to get a taste of his own medicaine one of these days! First her now you...'' he muttered the last past so low Jes didn't get it at first, he was furious and that scared Jes, this boy. A boy she hardly knew, wanted to defend her from an asshole that insulted her. It warmed her heart but made her nervous all the while. She sighed in frustration.

''Fred! Calm. Bloody. Down. I took care of him, and he didn't hurt me Fred, he's all talk and no walk. Just please relax and sit down will you? People are looking!'' Fred looked at her and saw the worry in her eyes, she bit on her lower lip slighly and he sighed in defeat before nodding and slumped down in his seat.

''Alright, but one question?'' she nodded slowly and a grin broke out on his face.

''How did it feel to punch Draco Malfoy?''
