Hogwarts Reborn

Chapter 7: Drama in Hogsmede

"Scorpious." Jenna said. "How do I look?" I glanced up from my breakfast to only choke on it.

"Oh god! I over did it, didn't I? I knew the dress would be to much!" Jenna said frantically. I wanted to stop choking and tell her she was wrong and looked amazing. Jenna was wearing a black t-shirt dress along with a wool cardigan, clearly the Hagrid in her. The paired it with brown leather boots and her hair was curled.

"You look awesome Jen." I smiled. "Casper's not gonna know what hit him."

"You mean like that pillow on class the other day?" Jenna teased as I blush. "What time is it?"

"I would say around 10:30."

"Is it actually 10:30?" Jenna asked "Or are you just teasing me?"

"It's really 10:30, you spent nearly an hour doing your hair and picking out an outfit." I replied.

"Oh no! I told Casper I would meet him by the Astronomy tower at 9:45. I'm late!" Jenna said quickly. Jenna hated to be late, it was one of her biggest Pet-peeves if she Is late for an event or if she keeps someone waiting on her she stresses out.

"Here." I said, fumbling in my jacket pocket. "My mother told me to only use it in emergencies, and I guess this is pretty urgent to you."

"It's a time Turner." Jenna gasped, taking the necklace from my hands. "I thought it was just a myth."

"It was my mother's, she got it her third year." I replied, watching Jenna hold carefully.

She handed it back to me. "I can't take this. I'll just explain myself to Casper."

I knew that was a terrible idea because Casper was currently snogging Petunia Clearwater, since I had so sneakily slipped some love potion into his pumpkin juice.

"That won't be nessacary." I shook my head. I had not known that Jenna felt so strongly about Casper. You could tell when she actually tried to look good. Something she had never done for me. "I'll put it on for you." Awkwardly, my hands slipped around her neck. I let my fingers linger for a second more then quickly tore them away.

"One turn should be enough."

"Thanks Scorpious." she said, hugging me tightly. We had done this lots as kids but stopped when we had gotten older. "See you in Hogsmede." And she was gone.

I walked alone, not far behind Casper and Jenna, who were holding hands and laughing. It made me sick.

Marilla's hand gently landed on my shoulder.

"Hey." I said casually as I could, trying not to look at the cute 'couple' before me.

"How are you? The last time I saw you was charms, where that whole pillow incident took place. What was that all about anyways?"

I blushed, shrugging off the last question completly. "I've had better days."

Marilla lips went into a straight line as if she were thinking of what else to say.

"Does it have anything to do with Jen-" but she was cut off when Rose ran up and greeted us both. I've never been happier to see her

"Hey Rose." I greeted.

"Have you guys seen the latest Nimbus? My Uncle Harry just sent me a letter telling me all about it. It's supposed to be the coolest one yet!" Rose cheered.

"I have heard about that! My father's a famous Quidditch player and whenever someone buys the new Nimbus, he donates money to St. Mongos." Marilla said, proud her father was someone important.

"My father is a Healer and my mother is a Ministry Worker." I added, wanting to add something to the discussion.

Both girls nodded and we chatted about anything and everything. I couldn't help but peek a couple times at Jenna, who seemed to be having the time of her life.

Once we got there, most of the students went to get some butter beer or Zonkos Joke Shop to get their friends silly gifts. I didn't know what I was going to get Jenna but I knew it would be spectacular. I had gotten dad and mom a huge photo album which I had created, much assistance from Jenna. Christopher had gotten something from Zonkos that would be sure to make him pee his pants. I had even gotten Rose and something: earrings that matched their house colours.

"Let's go get some butter beer." Marilla suggested, rubbing her hands together.

"I love butter beer." Rose smiled, licking her lips.

Luckily, Casper and Jenna were sitting only a couple booths away, Casper kissing her cheek every chance he got. I would keep an eye on them and if they started a full blown snog session, I would be here to stop them.

"Scorpious. Are you even listening?" Marilla asked, shaking  her hand in front of my space.

"Yeah. What?" My head snapped back in reality.

"The butter beers here." Marilla said smiling. She looked over my shoulder to where my eyes were just glued. Her attention snapped back to me with a knowing expression. I tried to shrug it off by gulping down half my butter beer. When I put down my mug, both girls burst out laughing, earning everyone's attention, including Jenna.

"What?" I whispered as I saw Jenna start laughing. She pointed to her top lip and I felt there. Foam.

"You have a mustache!" Rose squealed. My younger brother and his friends walked in then, wondering what the commotion was about.

I wiped the cream from my face, embarrassed. Jenna and Chris decided to come over then, Casper unfortunately in tow.

"What was that all about?" Christopher asked.

"Your brother doesn't know not to play with his food Chris." Jenna teased, wiping the rest of the drink off my mouth. My stomach flipped upside down.

"Come on Jen. Let's go check out some shops." Casper whined, pulling her away.
