I own nothing except Jessie and Other characters you do not recognize. She is my character =P. The rest is all JK Rowling Oh and I am making no money by writing this story… =(
And one more thing before you start… This story is going to go with another story of mine so there will be a twist with Lily and James
Let the story begin
Jessie sat in Albus Dumbledore's office one cold rainy night with Sirius Black, waiting for the headmaster. She was brought there against her will when Sirius found her bleeding outside the headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. She didn't want to be there. All she wanted to do was go home, shower, throw away her clothes, and never talk about this again. Maybe cry for a while. But she knew she never wanted to relive the awful accident. Sirius wouldn't let her leave unless she told him. But she wouldn't. She didn't want anyone to know. Although her wounds were fresh and still bleeding, they didn't need to know how she got them. She could heal them when she got home so Poppy would never ask.
"Jessie" Sirius whispered softly "Please tell me what happened. All I want is to help you and to make sure this person never hurts you again."
"Why?" she snapped angrily "You hate me!"
"No. I never hated you. I've always liked you. I've learned to accept you."
"What would make you do that?"
"Your not a normal Slytherin."
"Yes! I am! I just chose a different path, apart form… others."
"Did Snape do this!"
"NO! I haven't seen him since the last day…" She felt a tear come down her cheek. Not from the pain of her wounds, but from the fact that she hadn't seen Severus in almost a year. She didn't even know if he was alive.
"It's better that way."
"Don't you dare act like you know what's best for me you-"
"Enough!" Dumbledore's voice rang threw the office.
Sirius turned and looked at him. Jessie didn't even flinch. Dumbledore was startled by her condition. He went to her side "Jessie… what-"
"Nothing, sir. Please let me go home."
"No! Headmaster, she needs help."
"Jessie… I must insist you, at least, allow Poppy to heal you."
"No! I can do it myself. Please… just let me leave. Let me go home. Please" she pleaded.
Dumbledore had a pretty good idea of what had happened. "Sirius… the best thing we can do is… take her home."
"But sir! She needs-"
"To go home and rest. But she needs to come back tomorrow. We can't make her do something she doesn't want to do."
"Thank you headmaster. I will come back."
"I know you will. Sirius, please take her home."
He nodded and took Jessie home but didn't completely agree.
Jessie showered as soon as Sirius left, but it wasn't good enough. No matter how many times she washed she still felt dirty. But finally after four showers she put on clean clothes and threw the old ones in the fireplace to burn them later. Then she layed in her bed and began to cry. She cried as hard as she could until there was a loud knock on the door. She pulled her self together, took out her wand, and answered the door. Severus was hunched over in pain.
"Jessie… please… help me." His voice was horse and low.
She quickly brought him inside and took him to the second room of the apartment. She felt he was shaking and layed him down on the bed. She turned to leave but he grabbed her wrist "Please Jess… don't leave me. Please."
"Severus… I'm getting you something for the pain. I promise you I will be right back." She couldn't believe he just… begged.
She hurried to the cabenit where she kept all her potions, for when her visions are more then she can take, and grabbed the one labeled: pain relieving. Then ran back to him. "You need to drink this." He nodded and used most of his strength to grab the vial and drink it.
"Please don't leave." He told her, sounding as if the potion had already started to work.
She nodded "Ok. But don't leave in the morning until I talk to you." She whispered. If she could tell anyone what happened it would be him.
Jessie walked to the other side of the bed and layed next to him. "Are you feeling any better?"
He turned to look at her and nodded. "Thank you." He whispered
She nodded.
"Your eyes are red. You were crying before I came. Why?"
"… I'll tell you in the morning. Good night Sev."
"Good night Jessie."
Severus woke up and noticed his arm around Jessie but didn't move it. Instead He called her name, expecting it to take forever to wake her. But she let out a scream and sat up. After a minute she realized where she was. "I'm sorry."
He sat up, his eyes filled with concern "What's wrong?"
"… I need coffee first." She got out of the bed and went into the kitchen to get coffee.
Severus slowly followed; he was still sore from the previous night. As he went to the couch he saw a pair of muggle clothes in the fireplace. "Jessie why are your clothes in the fireplace?"
She waved her wand as she sat in a armchair, causing the clothes burst into flames. "I will answer your questions after you answer mine… where have you been for the past ten months?"
"… Away. You know I can't tell you everything."
"Ok. Well why have you not written to me? I'm left sitting here like an idiot wondering if you even alive!" she said angrily
"You are not an idiot .I am very sorry. Really I am… I needed someone to help me last night. You told me you would always help me."
"And I did. I will always help you."
"Thank you…. Is their anymore questions or may I ask mine?"
She sighed "Yes. Ask."
"Why were you crying?"
"That happens when you are sad."
He rolled his eyes at her answer and moved to the next question "Why were your clothes in the fireplace? And don't say 'because I wanted to burn them.' Tell me everything. You know you can."
She looked down. "This is hard for me ok? I know I can tell you. So I will…. Last night I was… I was raped." She closed her eyes to stop the tears. She felt him by her side. "When I got away… I went someplace and Sirius Black found me. He took me to Dumbledore but I told them I was fine… all I needed to do was go home and that I would heal myself."
"But you didn't. And your not fine." He knelt down in front of her. "Open your eyes."
She did but kept her gaze on her feet. She knew she was crying and she didn't like people seeing her cry. She felt him healing her wounds, using the spell they invented.
"Thanks." She whispered.
"Who did this to you?" he sounded angry.
"Severus you don't-"
"WHO? Tell me who did this to you! They're going to pay for it!"
"Severus! Please!" she was crying and didn't care who saw. "Please just forget in! At least for now!"
He had never seen her cry. Not even when her dad died. Not ever. "Someone hurt you… and I cant forget that. But I won't talk to you about it today."
"Thank you." She said just before hugging him.
All he did was hold her until she stopped crying. Seeing her like this gave him one of the worst feelings he had ever had.
"I'm going to take a shower." She said "Then I have to see Dumbledore."
"… May I come?"
Jessie was shocked "Yes! That would be great! But why?"
"I needed to talk to Dumbledore about something."
"Ok."
Ok so how was that for the first chapter? Ok? Awful? Great? Tell me what you think.
