The Daughter of Phoenix 2 [George Weasley]

Chapter 14

They all look down at the ground, it's Angelina.

"...Who are you talking to?" Jessie is just amazed by her attitude. Who doesn't know she's calling Jessie?

"Don't even think about it." Angelina says and crosses her arms, thinking Jessie will escape from her.
"...What do you want??" Jessie crosses her arms after a sigh.

"Don't you dare to leave the ground before you can fly."

"Dude-" George is about to stop her.
"Leave or wait over there, both of you." Angelina commands the twins, who are currently so shocked with her act. Fred then pulls George away and head to the audience area, knowing this is too of a serious matter for them to interrupt.

Jessie is frozen hearing what Angelina just said, she doesn't even have the chance to escape with so many eyes looking.

"Have you brought it with you??? The bottle-"
"She wouldn't need it." Angelina has heard Hermione.

"...I don't want to fly!" Jessie whispers to the trio with her trembling voice.

"Jessie don't worry you can yell stop whenever you feel like to," says Hermione, "Remember to let us know if you're not feeling well."

"Get me out of here, Harry!" Jessie stares at Harry in no time.
"I think you can do it this time." Harry pats her shoulder and says confidently. "Give it one more try Jess."

Even the trio does not have the intention to help her escape. Jessie feels like she's more alone than ever. Her heart pounds and sweat starts coming out. Looks like she hasn't got any choice. She wants to scream so hard as she walks down.

"Look, I don't want to waste time." Angelina throws Jessie a broomstick. "Please cooperate."

Quickly, she's in the air looking down at Jessie.

"This is going to take hours if you continue to be like this."

Is she trying to show off her flying or something? Jessie sighs and rides on the broom which gradually goes higher and reaches Angelina's height. She looks at Angelina firmly without looking at the ground with her stress level reaching the top. The feeling of her legs hanging in the air is making her tremble.

"Right," says Angelina,
"You can leave if you can catch me."

She then flies away immediately at full speed.

Jessie stares at her back in fear with her eye water rushing out. She DID NOT expect this.

George looks at Jessie who is currently terrified. He's very much more nervous than anyone else watching her, for he doesn't want her to be stressed and he's kind of the reason Angelina forces her to do so.

After a deep breath, she starts speeding up and follows Angelina.

"You call this chasing? Don't be so pathetic." Angelina teases her as she goes even higher. Jessie looks up hopelessly, she doesn't think she wants to go on.

"Jessie you can do this!" Hermione yells to her.

Jessie grabs her broom tightly and starts panting that she wants to close her eyes tight but that's even scarier. However she also understands the quicker she finishes this, the earlier she can leave. Therefore she tries to shut her emotions down and speed up, just to touch Angelina's back for a moment, this is all she needs to do.

The wind is slapping Jessie's face as she goes higher. Realising the height, she immediately takes out her bottle, just in case.

"...Is she having it?" George frowns and stands up as he notices Jessie taking out her medicine. If she really has a heart attack right now, he doesn't even know if it's his fault. He shouldn't let Angelina do this to her.

"Chill, brother. That is Angelina training her." Fred tries to loosen up George a bit, believing Angelina should know what she's doing.

"I just wish she'll be fine." Hermione nervously looks at Jessie. "You know Angelina probably won't understand how flying is difficult for Jessie."

"I actually don't understand it either. Does she always skip her flying lessons in France?" Ron says.

Checking out the bottle she just took out, Jessie finds that the bottle is empty. It has dried out! Seeing the bottle being emptier than her heart, she rolls her eyes and frustratedly throws her bottle away. Dying isn't even a threat at this point.

As Jessie tries to go full speed with her life, she is getting closer and closer that her finger is only a few inches away from Angelina's back.

The moment her finger touches her back for less than one second, she suddenly feels a kind of force pulling her down.

Turns out it's her broom suddenly being out of control that it loses its magic and falls down vertically from meters high.

Everyone stands up and rushes down to the ground, how does this happen? What is wrong with the broom? Why is something bad happening when Jessie finally succeeds a bit?

She falls down with her feet landed on the floor first, it feels like burning.
