A/N: ok so this is the next installment in Jessica's story. Please review and tell me if you would rather have me use Jessica's real name when I talk use The name Jessie.
Summary (Sort of) This takes place in the summer after Harry's first year when Remus gives Jessica the letter from Albus thirteen years after she faked her death and moved to America, changing her name to Jamie Scott. She did this because she was raped by her step father and killed him. Fudge had to testify in court. On top of that Voldemort was after her because she can see small parts of the future. But anyway she decides to take up Dumbledore's offer and goes back to Hogwarts as Jamie to assist the new DADA teacher. Now she has to face Severus and decide if she ready to tell him who "Jamie" really is.
I don't own anyone except Jessie, Erik, Rose, and Richard... and anyone else that is unfimilar. They original harry potter characters belong to JK Rowling
someone missed it and Told me to make it more well known that this is the third story in a series. I'm really sorry the the person who missed it. there wasn't enough room in the summary. The first story is 'Days at Hogwarts' which isn't really ont that you have to read. It just tells you about my characters. The second one is 'The Beginning' which you have to read to get this story
"Remus I don't understand. I've been gone for so long and can't go back now. Why am I getting this?" Jessie asked
"Because It's time to come home, J." Remus told his best friend. Ever since he found her they had met for lunch as often as possible but with "Jamie's" busy schedule it was sometimes hard.
"Remus, Jessica Davidson is dead to the world. Just let her die as everybody else has."
"Why do you want this?"
"Its for the best. If she goes back she has to explain. Everybody will be angry and hate her. Even her best friend wont even be able to look at her. I wouldn't blame him."
He sighed "Why don't you go, Jamie?"
She lowered her voice as muggles passed by "I look like her. Someone would know. I kept my eyes, hair, and some facial features."
"Good. That way when your ready it will be easier. They will already suspect something."
"I will never want to tell anyone… except Erik."
"You want to tell him?"
"Yes. He's her brother."
He hated it when she acted like Jessica was someone else. She had become to used to Jamie and it was almost like a personality disorder. "Why not.. Severus?"
She looked him in the eyes. It had been so long since she heard that name. In fact for the longest time she never wanted to hear it again. "I can't… I won't go."
"Because of him?"
"Because of me. I just left without telling him. I left right after I told…" she stopped.
"Then go, just don't tell him."
"But if I go I will."
"If its supposed to happen it will happen. But please just come. Its Harry's second year and he needs someone."
"You don't expect me to tell him do you?"
"Dumbledore and I would like it if you did. But it is completely up to you weather you do or not."
"What about my previous job? Both of them? My classes with Rosie?"
"You can come back for your classes with her and spend Christmas with her and her dad like usual."
"I see you at Christmas too!"
"Yes and if you still want to come by you can. I just didn't want it to seem like you have too."
"I never feel like that, Remus. I love seeing you." She said honestly. Remus had been with her through everything that has happened in the last eight years. He would never take the place of Severus but when she needed someone Remus was always there. "So how is Harry?"
He let out a beep breath "I've never met him"
"Never?"
"No. He lives with Petunia and her husband, remember?"
"Yes but… I guess I forgot she doesn't like magic."
"I heard he didn't even know it was real."
"So many kids loose faith in magic but even muggle children have some."
"What do you mean?"
"Well I watch my bosses kids when he doesn't have anyone else and they're amazing. The things they can do with they're imagination… its like they're there and con really see it." she smiled "I'm sure I sound mental to you"
"Usually you do. But I actually understand what you mean. Its like they have this power that brings them where they want to go without ever leaving."
"Yes. But when they get older they loose faith. I hope that's not what happened to Harry before he got his letter. Its hard to watch sometimes. And I'm sorry you have never met him. I know that must be hard."
"It is sometimes. All I know is that you- know-who tried to come back with the stone."
last twelve years away. It would be like stepping back into the same war! And that's all it is going to be when it happens. The same war it was when I left."
"Then help us stop it when the time comes. Help us prepare Harry for what he must do. Come home J!"
"I need to think first because I know what it is like to be him. When he is older he will feel like he is just being used as a tool just like I felt for so long. And if I go back Dumbledore will do it to me too."
"All I'm asking you to do is think about it. Erik is getting married and you don't want to miss it." and he was sure that got her.
Jamie walked into the studio where she was teaching her next lesson with Rosie. As she got to the rows of chairs she saw a 13-year-old Rosie sitting with her dad.
"Hey Rose." Jamie said as she sat down across from the two.
"Hi, Jamie. What's going on?" said the red head girl as she noticed that Jamie didn't take her to the piano as usual.
"I need to tell you guys that I've decided to take a new job and its really far away. So we can continue the singing lessons if you'd like but we won't be able to have nearly as many."
"That's great that you got a new job! I know you weren't happy with the other one" Rose said happily "Of course I don't mind cutting back on the lessons. How far away is it."
"Ireland. At Hogwarts." she told the young witch
"That's amazing!"
"Congratulations J." Her dad said
"Thanks Richard."
"In fact I think we should all go out this evening to celebrate." he told them both "If you two don't mind missing this lesson. You both deserve a break and it will be my treat."
"Is that ok with you, Jamie?"
"I never turn down food. And if I'm not buying we better hurry so we can stay longer."
Rosie laughed knowing how much her mentor and loved food.
At Hogwarts, Albus called a staff meeting in the late evening when he received the letter from "Jamie"
"I have called you all here to tell you that I have found someone to fill the position of DADA."
"Is he going to try to kill students?" Severus asked angrily
But he was ignored "Gilderoy Lockhart will be taking the job."
Several staff members exchanged worried glances
"He wont even have to try." Minerva whispered to herself. Then she spoke out loud "Albus I fear he cant handle the job alone."
"Yes I thought about that. So I hired an assistant for him. She is very educated and is a tutor for children that are home schooled. I can guarantee she is able to handle the job and I have met her on several occasions."
"who is she?" Minerva asked
"Her name is Jamie Scott and she will be here in one week to get set up. As will Lockhart. After his book signing, of course."
"Of course." Severus muttered in a low voice
