The Ministers Daughter

I Got Jinxed For This?

I was shattered by the time I got up to the common room my hand was cramping from the amount of writing I had done...stupid paperwork... The common room was empty and the fire was dying in the grate. I climbed the worn stairs up to the dormitory and fell on to my bed. When I woke there was a soft light coming in through my hangings the room was silent or so I thought. I pulled back the curtains to hear soft music playing through the room... I forgot about the silencing charm on the curtains.

"What is that?" I asked

"Jenn you're up!" Rose Lucy cried

"Yes I'm up what is the music all about" I asked again

"Elena was just showing us something"

"What?" I asked sitting up and swinging my legs out of bed, I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see Lucy her hair up in a pony tail wearing jeans and a polo top sitting with Elena and jess who both had messy hair and were still in their pj's... why is Lucy always so perfect?... Elena was sitting on her bed with a keyboard resting on her knees.

"Sorry did I wake you up?" She asked looking nervous

"Na the curtains have a silencing charm on them" I told her "You play piano?" I asked, she flushed red and jess grinned at her.

"Yeah a little" She mumbled

"A little!" Jess sounded scandalised "Elena your amazing!" she turned to me and said "She was just playing us a song she wrote yesterday, go on Elena play it" she urged her. Elena looked embarrassed

"It's not very good, I haven't finished yet" she placed her fingers on the keyboard and started to play, her graceful fingertips caressed the keys in waves of motion the music was soft it started out slow and got faster and faster still keeping its gentleness, it was like the beating of a heart... bloody hell aren't I getting poetic... but it was a beautiful song...

"Wow, how come I have never heard you play before?" I asked

"I don't play much" Elena mumbled kneeling up and putting the keyboard under her bed

"Well you're very good for someone who doesn't play much" I teased getting up and heading for the shower, I had a quick shower and tied my bush of hair in to a bun. I got dressed in jeans a baggy jumper and went to sit with the others.

"What no dress Jenn" Lucy asked sounding disappointed

"No sorry I went for the more traditional look" I replied sitting on my bed. My bed was opposite Lucy's and next to Rose's, between Lucy and Rose was Jess and opposite her Elena. Lucy gestured to the bed next to mine where Rose still slept

"Should we wake her?" she asked

"No it's a weekend let her have her nap, anyway we will need energy to keep up the guys tonight" I replied "Any way what did you get up to last night?" I asked Lucy

"We just sat up here and talked didn't we girls" Elena and Jess nodded

"Really? You didn't mention any chance how Elena likes Fred did we?" I asked grinning at Elena, who had gone bright red, she looked shocked her eyes were big and round.

"You won't tell him!" she asked her eyes pleading with me

"Of course not" I said sitting on my bed opposite her "besides I reckon he may have a soft spot for you" I said grinning at her

"Who has a soft spot for who?" I span around to see Rose sitting up in bed blinking at us through her mane of hair.

"Jenn reckons Fred likes Elena" Jess explained, grinning at Elena.
