Stupid lack of girl scout training.
And cell phone charging. Because Jessica's phone is now a useless square of metal and plastic. Which means fire is the only means of getting light right now. Which means she needs to figure out how to MAKE one.
And rubbing two sticks together does not work the way it does on cartoons.

(Also she would probably end up there just on the basis of not belonging in any other house.)
"Okay. Good to know. Different class assignments, or what?"

Sirius gives her a smile that's about halfway between sheepish and smug.
"More like, Lily's not the kind of person to do illegal and dangerous things."

"I'm... really sorry."
Lame. So lame. But the right words don't exist in any language.

He leans against the wall, looking thoughtful.
"She and I aren't very good friends, but...I hope she gets through it okay. And I hope we can figure out a way to get back."
Sirius is SO not willing to accept that he's stuck here.

"Cool. Um, no vacuum cleaners, though?" That's a joke! That he's probably heard! But Jessica is not a comedian. She is a weird-looking high school student.
no subject
Sorry, Jessica.

THIS WILL CLEARLY GET HER POINT ACROSS PROPERLY.
"Nevermind. Except, I thought it was just witches that did the broom thing. Not... um, warlocks?" Whatever you call a boy witch.

Sirius is going to be very, very kind and not try to explain Quidditch to her.

Jessica is not much for sports, at least playing them. It's hard when your body occasionally decides it doesn't care much for this corporeality. She's the worst goalie ever.
