The Daughter of Phoenix 2 [George Weasley]

Chapter 24

"Professor?" Jessie enters Dumbledore's office.

"Come, Jessie." He lets her sit down. "I know we are all unhappy with that, but I'll need to ask you some questions concerning your vision you had earlier."

Her vision? Jessie nearly forgot how serious her vision was.

"Did you see Arthur Weasley die, in your vision?"
"...Sir, I didn't exactly see him die, but I saw his family crying over his grave. It says Arthur Weasley....

1950-1995?!

...It didn't happen??"

It's 1996 now.
A mistake in her vision?? She's never experienced a vision that didn't happen in real life.

Dumbledore starts walking around, thinking deeply.
"There's only one way to explain this-"

"It's not a vision?" Jessie asks in shock.

"Did you...experience anything special you've never experienced before?"

"...I've heard something... It's like a voice, a voice telling me what to do. He told me to tell you about the things I've seen. I don't know who that is."
"...Very well." He pauses and looks at her. What is it inside his mind?

"Am I not a seer, professor?" She realises the inaccuracy of her vision. A seer will not experience that.
"To be honest, Jessie, I am not quite sure." He takes off his glasses and looks at Fawkes, his phoenix.

"How would you describe the voice which told you what to do?"
"It sounds quite familiar to me... But I'm quite sure I've never heard of it. A male for sure."

"...Right." he carries Fawkes on his arm and brings it to Jessie's. What is he trying to do?
"...Do you like phoenixes, Jessie?"

That's one weird question.

"... Umm I find them quite interesting, but I don't really understand why they like staring at people to be honest." She says as she avoids eye contact with Fawkes, who has been staring at her every time they meet. She can't really tolerate being stared.

"Oh they don't stare at anyone, Jessie."
"...Really?"
"They only stare at interesting people," he says and looks at Fawkes.

"Or people who matter."

She looks at Dumbledore. What is he trying to express?

"Jessie..." He's getting more and more serious, "you might need to be aware of anything you feel or experience from now on. We may be expecting something we've never expected."

"...What does phoenixes really do with that, professor?" She asks directly.

"...Nothing, actually. Sorry for the misleading topic." He says and smiles. "Oh one thing, Jessie." He says. "Take care of Potter, will you?"

"No problem, sir." She understands what to do hearing his tone. He must be has something big to deal with.

"As for your mother, if you're aware of that... We'll keep you safe, you're part of Hogwarts."

"...Thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate that."

"When you feel like to, Jessie, you may want to check out the fictional section in the library." Dumbledore's word has always left her puzzled. Though she replies with a simple nod, the mystery within him has never failed to excite her.

"One thing, sir..." She suddenly pauses before she leaves.

"... Do students get expelled...if they have broken the law?"

She asks with a serious face.

"Unfortunately, that would be the case." He replies. "What's the matter?"

"...Nothing." she smiles and leaves.

Dumbledore looks at her back when she has finally left and closes the door. There must be something Jessie didn't tell him.

After transfiguration, Jessie's suddenly greeted by George at the entrance. He usually goes for Lee and Angelina after class.
"... Hi?" She smiles at him confusedly. "What are you doing here?"

"Do I have to have a reason?" He looks at her while taking the books for her.
"...Yeah?" She says directly with her logic.
"...You're right." He nods. "We're going to the D.A meeting isn't it?"

"I thought you'd go with Lee and the others-"
"You know I can actually go with you right?"

"Of course you can," she holds back her smile without looking at him, "you know I can go with the first years too."
Hermione instantly holds back her smile hearing Jessie. She's learnt how to be cheeky around him.

"Sis, you've got to be kidding."
He then casually grabs her hand and holds it as they walk in the corridor. They may seem close to each other since long ago, but it's actually their first time holding hands!

"Not now, Georgie. People are watching." Jessie whispers to him looking and patting his palm. Her heart starts pounding a bit doing this in public.
"I can't, you're being too attractive."

She is so annoyed by him, yet so happy at this moment. She has literally told him that sounding flirty won't make her fall for him, but look at her now! She's totally melted by him as she tries her hardest to hold back her smile with her gradually blushing face and butterflies hitting hard in her stomach.

Looking at them from behind, Harry doesn't know what to feel though it's great to see her being happy with George. Seems like Hermione has realised his eyes.

"You've got your mind too busy, Harry." Hermione says without looking at him. "You confuse yourself."

"Seriously do you really think I didn't know this?" Harry says back without hesitation. Of course he knows his mind is currently a mess.

"She's really kind to everyone. You'll soon realise that there's nothing more."
"I bet so." He says.
"Don't mix her up with Cho." Hermione thinks Harry finds them quite similar.

"Cho is way more stable." They both chuckle knowing Jessie appears freaky everytime.

"...Does she know this? Jessie."
"I'm afraid so."
"But that's alright. There's nothing awkward possibly going to happen as long as it's her, isn't it? She always understands before you do."

"Ya."
