Jessie squeaked in surprise as she almost ran into a boy.  His voice startled her out of her determined walk.  She nearly dropped the stack of books she had gotten from the library, but caught most of them.  The topmost book slipped off before she could move to catch it. It clattered to the floor, flopping over the boy's foot.

"Oh, sorry!" She said.  Jessie shifted the books in her arms to try and allow herself to bend over to pick up the unruly book that had leaped from her stack.  With her tongue stuck out in concentration, she began to lower herself towards the book.

"Quick, over here!" Leah said, motioning towards the four-poster bed that hadn't been filled for years.  It had sat unused in the corner, and no one had bothered to get rid of it.  She ran to the curtains and slid between them, sitting quietly on the bed.

If a teacher really was coming, this would have to work for a hiding place.  There wasn't much else to choose from, and certainly nothing large enough to hold three people.

["Why... Why have you been avoiding me these past weeks?"]

As Albus' eyes stared back into her own, Jessie was lost for words.  He seemed so angry, but sad at the same time... So many emotions flashed through his beautiful brown eyes, Jessie had a hard time trying to track them. He took a step towards her, and she swayed on her feet. She wanted to run to him so badly, but she couldn't manage to make her feet take a single step.

"Why... Why have you been avoiding me these past weeks?"

Hearing Albus' voice, sounding so hurt, Jessie's feet finally gained momentum.  She took a step or two in his direction, but then he exploded. She stepped backward frantically, tripping over her clumsy feet. Tears began to stream silently down her face.  Everything that she had kept pent up for the past few weeks poured out, as though it had been waiting to escape and this was it's only chance.

"I... I..." Jessie stumbled for words, her throat tight.  "How can you say that? You know that you mean the world to me! These past weeks... they've been the longest of all the time that I've been at Hogwarts."  Jessie stopped to take a breath.  Her voice was so soft, she wasn't sure if Albus could actually hear her. 

"I need you in my life, Albus.  I can't stay sane without you."  Her throat finally clenched too tight to continue speaking.  Jessie looked up at him from her spot on the ground.  Her bright blue eyes stuck out more than usual against her red, tear stained cheeks. She looked and felt like a total mess, but none of that mattered.  If she lost Albus now, her entire life would be a mess.

Leah peered around the corner anxiously. She had heard that Billie was coming back, but didn't want to get her hopes up.  The rumor was that Billie would return today, and Leah had choked down her breakfast before running noisily up to the Gryffindor common room.

She took some calming breaths, trying to prepare herself in case Billie wasn't there. Once she had herself under control, she walked up to the door of her dormitory and looked inside. When Leah saw the brown hair and blue eyes of her old friend, she began to squeal. She ran out from behind the door, jumping up and down. All of the control that she had just gained was lost in an instant.

"BILLIE! Oh my goodness! HI!!!"  Leah could hardly string any words together, she was so excited.

She stood in the center of the room, opening and closing her mouth, trying to say something.  However, so many thoughts were running through her head that she couldn't manage to say any of them.  Her hands kept flexing, not knowing what to do. 

Jessie burst out of the main doors, stalking off onto the Hogwarts grounds. She needed a walk.  Badly.  The warm air felt fantastic on her face, and the breeze rustled her hair ever so slightly.  With her hands stuffed into her pockets, Jessie tried to take some calming breaths.  She needed to relax her angrily stomping feet.  She had been hoping for more of a stroll than a march.

Once Jessie had herself under control, she started to think about what had gone wrong.  She was so stressed lately. Jessie's schoolwork had been getting the best of her, and she was ignoring her friends... a lot.  She had been secluding herself from everyone that was a distraction to her, especially Albus.  If they started talking, Jessie knew she wouldn't get any work done.  So she had taken to doing her homework on her four-poster bed with the curtains drawn.  She had really only intended to do this for a week or so, but it had been almost three, and people were getting upset.

Leah had finally said something about it, and it had pushed Jessie's stress level over the edge.  She just hoped that she didn't have to have a similar conversation with Albus.  She wasn't sure if she could handle it at the time.

Without realizing it, Jessie had been zoning out, staring at her feet absentmindedly as she walked.  Before she had time to notice, Jessie had walked right into someone.  She startled herself so much that she had fallen over.  Her heart was racing from the sudden surprise, and her breathing had sped up too.  When she looked up to see who she had bumped into, her breathing seemed to stop altogether.

((Sorry, I couldn't really think of anything :/))

Yay!! I'm so glad! It seems as though everyone decided to come back :)

Minus the shrimp, yum!

Animal crackers!

Yay! Just go ahead and start it when you get the chance, and let me know what it's called!

I WOULD LIKE TO RP!! Seriously. Just start it and I am SO THERE.

So I play ultimate frisbee, and it's the best thing in the world.
At practice last week, one of the guys I play with caught his cleat on my shoelaces and ripped it, but I didn't find out until today, and I had to duct tape my cleats! Now they're all sticky and gross.  But I also have a reason to go get cool laces :)

I AM SO TIRED BLAHHHHH

I want to go to bed right now. Buuuut I'm going to watch a documentary about corn instead. Yeah buddy. Get it get it.

Hi! I'm back too! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who left for a while... Hopefully we can RP together soon :) I'd rather not have to be the one to start a new thread... I feel like I would mess it up.

HI!!!

What's on my mind? Uhm... THIS! I had totally forgotten how much I love it, and how much I definitely miss it.

Anyone want to RP?

Not going to lie, I've been stalking the forum and basically the only new posts have been to this. That's pretty sad.  I'm up for changing it though!

I'm going to try my hardest to keep coming back, but it might get a little tough.  That's okay though because facebook is starting to bore me.

Hello everyone!

After watching the HP movie, I came to this startling realization: All of the HP movies have been made.  Sure, there might be continuations and such, but it just won't be the same. It won't be the original. So then I decided that there would always be one place where HP would continue, and that place was here! I know I haven't been around for a very long time, but I was thinking of trying to get back into it.  What do you say? Anyone want to RP? :)

<3 Jessie

Blah. That sounds really gross Sky!!

I'm broke.  Even though it was just my birthday, and I got some money...
I'm peeling and it's gross...
Just made some really good granola, but it's too hot to eat! :(
I miss HPF! I haven't been on in forever!! Does anyone know why it wasn't working for a while?

I'm taking you with me- Relient K

24 days, 22 hours and 47 minutes :)
