A Year Later

Jacob took in the sights and smells of Salem's alley once again this time it was his turn. After his sister's left Jacob had to pick up the slack around the house and his father had no one to fuss over after he came home from work anymore (so guess who became the target for that). Jacob waved his father's hands away for a third time when thery stepped away from the floo portal "i swear to god dad if you touch me one more time in the next 5 minutes i'm going to break one of your fingers" he said in a serious tone.

Jacob's mother stepped beside him "that's my boy" she said ruffling his hair "now not even i can tell if your joking" Olivia had groomed Jacob to be both sadistic and manipulitive but not to an insane degree she made sure to teach him there was still a line that had never to be crossed both in magic and physical. Jacob smiled at his mom "yeah i am but seriously ever since Jessica and Becky left he's been insufferable." he whispered to his mother to which she patted his back "i know but thank you for enduring it" she whispered back handing him a comb. Jacob sighed and took it_ sure they came home for the holiday's and we wrote letter's back and forth but Jessica was right its not the same. _he thought, he missed teasing them in person sending a howler with some of their most emberassing secret's wasn't the same as actually yelling them and dodging the fruit they would've flung at him.

Jacob was broken out of his revierie when while he was walking he bumped into someone sending potion supplies tumbling to the ground "oh i'm so sorry" he said bending down coming face to face with the girl he saw last time he was struck silent by how beautiful she looked up close the freckles going cheek to cheek crosing her nose and what looked like wild, curly red hair pulled back into a ponytail and he just had to guess her robes hid a very delicious figure. Jacob the quickly refocused on her eyes she had blue eyes that looked like the ocean but he smiled as he helped the woman with her supplies "It aint nothing to worry about nothing crushed but a hell of a way to introduce yourself" she said and Jacob noticed a slight irish accent but then blushed "yeah again sorry my name is Jacob but my friends call me Jake" he said finishing helping her making sure she had all her ingredient's back in her cauldron then held out his hand hoping against all hope his parent's had went on ahead. The girl smiled and straightened brushing off the front of her school robes "hello there jakey my name is Mia" she shook his hand and he noticed her strong grip he also noticed a strange glint in her eyes but wrote it off.

Jacob smiled "well i gotta go get my stuff so ill see you at the train?" he asked and Mia smirked "you a first year?" she asked and Jacob nodded and Mia's smirk widened "then yes if you take the train tonight and not tomorrow" she said mysteriously but without giving him a chance to ask any more questions she turned and walked away.
