The Daughter of Phoenix 2 [George Weasley]

Chapter 30

The theory of charms OWL is coming. Having it as one of her weakest subjects, Jessie's currently looking for reference books in the library.

"You know, you shouldn't study for exams." George suddenly comes and whispers into her ear.
"Tsk don't be so creepy..." She is scared by his sudden whisper. "I'm definitely failing it if I don't work on it." She walks as she talks.

"Is it that important?" He leans on the shelf and blocks her way.
"Yeah." She grabs his waist and moves him aside. "Of course you wouldn't mind it, you're leaving anyway."

He stops her and gently pinches her face, knowing how she's really feeling.

"How about we cancel it? Just for you." He grins and says.
"That'd be perfect, Georgie. Please do so-"
She jokes without looking at him but suddenly pauses. There's a book on the shelf right above George's head that has caught her eye. It's the fictional section they're standing in.

"The Daughter of the Phoenix"

The golden shimmering large font appears right in front of her. The shiny font is so attractive to her that it looks like it's telling her to take it.

"That?" George gets the book gets the book with the support of her shoulder as he realises her pause. The book is obviously too high for her to reach.

"Tsk. Easily distracted." He shakes his head as he watches her happily get the book from his hand.
"Hehe I'm borrowing this." She walks to the librarians.

"Of course, you've got plenty of time." He puts his arm over her shoulders. He's never seen her reading a novel, he wonders why she's so attracted by this book.

"The Daughter of Phoenix? Where did you get it?" Hermione asks Jessie as she has just sat down and joined the table for lunch with George.

"I just found it in the fictional section."
"Really? I've never seen it before." She takes the book and flips it.

"It's too lengthy though. I just want to know what it's about but I don't really want to read every page." She chuckles and covers her face.

"You know, Hermione, you enjoy reading...Do you think you can-"
"Alright." She rolls here eyes, knowing Jessie wants her to tell her the plot after reading it for her.
"Hahahaaa love you." Jessie winks at her. She barely reads apart from books about potions.

"...Jessie Kenwood."

Here comes Nigel, again. Jessie instantly smirks and pats on George's lap

"Er...There's a letter from someone." He hesitately hands her the letter.

"He said no one else can read it, so I think you should read it alone.

Jessie glances at Michael, who's been sitting far away watching them, then looks back at Nigel.

"Alright then, thanks." She suddenly finds the whole thing suspicious.

"Open it Jess." Ron excitedly tells Jessie. Everyone can't wait to be disgusted.

To their surprise, Jessie didn't open the letter even after Nigel's left.

"...What's wrong?" Hermione asks.

Instead of opening it, Jessie carefully presses the envelope, trying to feel what's inside. She then even starts sniffing it.

Fred is obviously amused by her action.
"Love does smell good to you-"

She suddenly tear it into pieces, throws them into a cup and takes her wand out, burning them with a violent flame.

"Bloody hell???" Her act has scared everyone.
"What are you doing??" Ron exclaims.

"...Love potion."

She covers her face then stares at Michael, who knows he's in trouble.

"Yes...Yes you're right, Jessie. The flame is blue." Hermione says as she observes the burning flame.

"Blimey, Jess. He's got little patience." Ginny says in amaze.

She then stands up and quickly walks to the first years, with an unbeatable aggressive aura around her.

"She's got style, Georgie." Fred says into George's ears as they stare behind her back.

"Look, kids," Jessie says directly to the first years, including Michael,

"anyone planning to use love potion should give up now. Pick up your courage to approach instead of using these meaningless tools. If I see any love potion among you all, I will tell the headmistress."

She says in a serious tone. Though she didn't directly calls out Michael's name, he feels extremely guilty and scared. She bets the first year won't find her attractive anymore.

"Yeahh~~~" she comes back with the twins clapping. She instantly rolls her eyes and pushes their hands away.
"That unbeatable sass, my love." George whispers to her ear.

"You two do stop giving out love potions to them. Gosh, why is this even legal?"
She does not understand why love potion could be used without restrictions.

"Cause it's the greatest invention of all the time." George says and rests his jaw on his palm.
"You better brew one, may come in handy in the future." She does the same gesture and says to his face.

"I wouldn't need it would I?"
"I have no idea."
