Finally Hosgeade weekend! Sure took long enoguth to get here, htere was so much going on back at school, he guessed it was understandable. But he was happy that he could finally make a trip to Zonko's. He hadn't been in a joke shop since shcool started andi t was killing him. He needed to get some new fireworks. Definally was running low. Payon had taken off somewhere, he assumed with a girl, Payton seemed to have more girl friend that anyone. He shrugged that off though, Zonkos was degfinatly the place of the day. As he was walking he saw a familiar grl with long brown hair, and he ran up behidn her tapping her shoulder.
"Hi"

Jordan wasn't really looking forward to the Hogsmeade weekend, she would rather stay at school and sulk. She wasn't one for much talking or laughing when she was upset or sad. The only good think about Hogsmeade that weekend was Zonko's. BUt even that couldn't cheer her up. She was walking around Hogsmeade, trying to clear her mind of all thoughts when someone tapped her on the shoulder and a familiar voice said hi. She turned to see Dillion, and managed a weak smile.
"Hey."She said in a voice that sounded nothing like herself. She sighed and stopped walking, trying to hold back some tears that had yet to shed. She thought she couldn't cry anymore, how wrong she was.

A confused expression crossed his face. That was defiantly not a Jordan was of responding. They wre so alike that he knew how she should have responded--how troublemakers respond when they are together! Why would someone so into trouble be so sad when they were on their way to Zonkos, there was nother a new bad of exploding candy woudln't make better!
"Whats wrong?"

Jordan sighed as he asked what was wrong. Should she bother him with her family problems? She fiddled with the pearls around her neck and closed her eyes.
"My mum passed away. Stupid brother won't tell me when or how." Jordan answered as she slowly opened her eyes and stopped fiddling with her mother's pearls.

"Wow"
How did you even reply to that, sure his own mum was long gone, but that was still a diffrent as he never remember her.
"I'm sorry. Can't imagine what what must be like. I mean....wow"

Jordan looked down at her feet.
"Mim and I were close. I remember, when I was little she would force me to make home made tortilla's. I would whine and cry but some how I always ended up having fun." Jordan sighed and looked back up.
"The only family I have is well Justin. Chris doesn't count. Jerk, that he is. My Da' well, he left when we were young. I have no aunts or uncles that I am aware of so..."Jordan trailed off and crossed her arms.
"I should get over this right? I mean, all it is, is an event in my meaningless life. It shouldn't bother me...at least that's what Chris says. Justin says, Chris misses her too but he has weird ways of showing it. If that's true I don't see why he has to go and say she didn't mean anything to him. I mean, the letter he wrote me about her death just had no emotion to it. It was like he was writing a letter to his boss about an employee being ill or sommit." She said with an irritated tone. She couldn't believe her older brother, she hated him so much.

He did manage to to talk while she went on. Woudln't be nice. And she was hurting.
"So its like me and my family. Besides the fact I have so many siblings. And its backwords, I mean my mum left and my pops stayed, but I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my Pops. I mean....yeah, wow. So I guess...I don't know."
He smiled slighly, and looked at her, not really knowing what to tell her% ut he did want to dos omething to make her feel better.

Jordan listened. She liked listening. Which was strange for her. But right now, she felt she was doing too much talking. When he had finished she sighed and managed a sad laugh.
"It sucks, doesn't it?" She asked looking away, hoping the tears that were about to fall wouldn't. Everything had been going great at Hogwarts that year! Then in one night, everything had changed.
"I guess I would have to go to her funeral right? I mean, it's only the right thing to do. But, I don't know if I want to go back there. Not when Chris is the way he is." Jordan inquired. She shook her head and fiddled with the necklace once more.
"This is a nightmare."She exclaimed before sitting down on a near by bench and putting her face in her hands.

He didn't know what to tell her.
"do you know hwne it is? I mean it woudl be hard to leave shcoo, I'm sure they wo0udl let you though, I mean a funeral seesm like a godo enoguth excuse. Never liked them personally. Everyon so sad. Always depressed me. And why be sad? I mean, sure there gone, and thats sad, But at least they lived right?"

Jordan looked up at Dillion. She tilted her head and thought about this for a minute.
"You're right. And it's not like Mim didn' t do anything while she was living. She was very successful in art, and photography." Jordan said thoughtfully. She then said,
"I dont know when the funeral is. Chris hasn't told me anything besides she left me her pearls and rubies. That's it." She rolled her eyes as she unlatched the necklace from around her neck. She held them out to Dillion.
"I can't believe she left these to me. They're..." Jordan trailed off and sighed again. He was helping her, she needed that. This was what she needed. Not pumpkin juice and getting ill at the ball like she had done.

He reached out and took the perls and looked at them for a moment before handing htem back
"Perls are nice.....They look....pretty"
He never was good wth girly things like that, dispite the fact taht he had six sisters. He tried to stear clear of them they they were in girlie moods, much easier to deal with.
"Sounds like a good life though. Art is good. Can do a lot with art"

"Ya. Mim was good. I mean really really good. My art is nothing compared to hers." Jordan replied taking the pearls back and putting them on. She then reached into her bag and pulled out a velvet pouch that held 4 rubies. She opened it up and withdrew one.
"I have no idea what to do with these." She said as she twirled it in between her fingers. The blood red color was reflecting the light and casting lights on walls and the ground.

He looked at the rubies for a second, definatly as confused as before. What did you do with rubies? I mean....they were nice enough, red was a good color and all, but they were still just shiny colored rocks. People put them in jewlery he guessed, girls always did that with shiny rocks right? Wait! That might not be a half bad idea...
"Could have someone put it a ring or something"

Jordan chuckled and looked at Dillion with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you really see me wearing rings?" She asked with a curious tone.
"Maybe I could donate them or something. I don't know. I was never good with money or jewels." Jordan said as she placed them back in her bag. She sighed and stood up, continuing to walk.
"Ahh, I feel a little better. MOre like myself. Wanna hit Zonko's?" She smiled and stuffed her hands in her hoodie pockets.

He was trying to picture Jordan wearing a ring, with little luck, when he heard Zonko's meantioned and his focus was immediatly switched to what troulbe he could cause.
"Zonkos! You read my mind!"
With out waiting for any other mind of reponse, he grabbed her arm and started to run towards the joke shop.

Jordan laughed as Dillion rushed her off to the joke shop.
"Dill! Slow it down a bit will ya?!" Jordan asked with a small laugh. She smiled as they reached the joke shop.
"Oi!" She said as she skidded to a stop and ran into Dillion.
"Sory." She apologized and straightened herself.

He stopped running the instant that she hinted and it and started to spin around ot face her when she skidded into him.
He laughed, his hand still on her arm.
"Not time for this come one! Limited Zonko's time already!"
He turned and started off again, this time instead of running, he was walking, though he was walking about as fast as he could manage

Jordan smiled as they entered the shop. Feeling mildly better she looked around the magnificent place.
"Oi vey.." She said in awe. She picked up a pack of dung bombs and smiled mischeviously.
"These will do fine in Potions." She said evilly.

His eyes lit up when he saw what she was holding up.
"Brilliant! The smell with match Snape perfectly!"
He was still laughting when he lookeda round, trying to figure out where the fireworks were. That was going to be his contrabution to potions.

"Oo..." Jordan said to his comment. She then grabbed many more packages. Her eyes looked around the brightly lit store and sparked up when she saw all the pranks that could be pulled.
"Wake me, I'm dreaming." She said with a small laugh.
