The next morning, Jessica woke up with her head buried into Fred and Lily staring at her.
Jessy jumped slightly at the sight of Lily there, "Jeez, Lily, give me a heart attack, why don't you?" Jessica's hands were wrapped around Fred's neck, her head was in his chest, and her body was sitting on his lap.
"Hey, you're the one shamelessly throwing yourself at Fred," She replied.
"I am doing no such thing!" Jess whisper-shouted, "He always starts it," at this point, Jessica was already off of Fred and sitting next to him.
"Just be glad George didn't see you doing that. He would be angry; he's very jealous of you two," Lily informed Jessica.
"How can you tell?"
"It's in his eyes. Now I'm gonna go get ready, I'll leave you to wake Sleeping Beauty up," Lily said leaving.
Jess scoffed at her and stared at Fred. 'Lily is a lot like a character I saw in a cartoon about mermaids….Anyway….How am I going to wake him up?' Jessica stared a little longer and decided to shake him awake. Fred unconsciously pushed her away. Then she tried to make noise to wake him up. He swatted her away again. Then she tried whispering in his ear, "Fred, breakfast is ready. We made pancakes," And with that Fred was awake.
"You lied. There are no pancakes," Fred complained.
Jessica laughed. "Just come to breakfast with me, but we should change first…." She said looking at her wrinkled uniform.
"Haha, yeah I'll be back."
TIME SKIP!
It is now October. Nothing much has happened in the past few weeks except George got to spend more time with Jessica, and practice that spell. Homework was regular, although Professor Snape's homework seemed to be worse than the other teachers'. Lily seemed to blossom a little bit, she was still kind of motherly and looked out for Jess a lot, but she began to be very feminine. Anyway, on with the story!
"I really don't like this Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. It's almost as if he knows nothing!" Jessica said one day after class, "He got fairies and pixies mixed up, there's a very distinct difference between the two."
"I don't know, and I don't care to find out. I'm just glad the lesson is done and we received no homework, thanks to someone's over-achieving," Fred said, ruffling Jessica's hair a bit, "I'll see you in Potions, if I'm late again, Snape will smite me where I stand!"
George had already left the class, but was hanging around the outside, waiting for Fred to leave. Once he saw Fred run to Potions, George walked close to the door. He pointed his wand at Jessy's books and whispered, "Alarte Ascendare." Right away, Jessica's books flew up and went all over the classroom. "DANG IT!" he heard Jess shout. George backed up and bit and walked by the door like it wasn't all planned.
"Oh, wow, your books are everywhere….Want some help with that?" He asked.
"Do as you'd like," She responded, with a lot of attitude.
George began to gather up her things and slowly made his way close to her. His original plan was just to have some alone time, but what actually happened changed everything.
George and Jessica raised their heads at the same time, and with a one in a million chance, they kissed. George closed his eyes like he had been waiting for this. Jessica, on the other hand, rose up her hand, and whipped it across George's face. She then threw her books back on the floor, covered her mouth, ran up and put her back on the door, and slipped out of the classroom, with tears in her eyes.
'This isn't how things happen. Ever. I feel so disgusting….' Jessica just kept running through the hallways, trying to find a bathroom she could take shelter in before the next class.
George was still in the classroom, happy, but horribly guilty. He hated himself for doing that to Jessica. She was so innocent. How could this happen? He continued to clean up her books and brought them to the Potions chamber.
"Mr. Weasley, I don't have you for this class. Care to explain why you are here?" Professor Snape said coldly.
"Jessica wasn't feeling well and insisted I bring her books here. She told me she would be here soon though," George said.
"Well I don't allow this. If she isn't ill, Ms. Flynn should attend my class. I'm taking 10 points each from Gryffindor," Snape responded. The Gryffindors all groaned, "Kindly put the books down next to the other Weasley and take your leave."
George did so and left without another word. He felt like a jerk. A giant jerk who forces girls to do things they don't want to do. The look at Jessica's face made him upset. He still liked her, but not as much as he did in the beginning. It was clear to him that Jessy was Fred's, and that he was a third wheel. It wasn't true, but he felt that way. George decided that he would tell Fred that Jessica was all his during History of Magic.
'It's for the best, honestly. They like each other deeply, and I can see them growing old together, like into their 300's. It'll work out in the end,' George thought.
Jessica had found a bathroom to cry in for a bit, but it was Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She was in no mood to put up with Myrtle. Jessica made sure to wrap up her moodiness before Myrtle got a hold of her. Jessica left the bathroom and went to Potions, very thankful that she didn't see George along the way.
"I have already taken points away from Gryffindor for this little….episode….you have pulled here," Snape snarled.
"I understand, Professor."
"Good, now go to your seat. Have Mr. Weasley catch you up."
Weasley…her heart panged just hearing that name. She didn't want to remember. This was one memory that was better off not being a memory at all.
"Are you alright? George came in saying you weren't well. Do you need my help?" Fred asked, extremely concerned.
"It's nothing. Nothing happened. Don't mention this to me, please," Jessica pleaded.
"Anything you wish, princess. Here's what we were working on."
Jessica avoided George for the rest of the day. She would hide behind Lily, Lee, or Fred. George knew that he and Jess were done; he didn't mind there wasn't really a 'them' to begin with. So at History of Magic, George told Fred that Jessica was all his. Fred took the news surprisingly bad. There was some tension between the two of them, but with Fred and Jess being together, Fred felt that all problems would disappear.
That night, at dinner, Fred told Jessica that George had given up. A weight was lifted off of her heart. She no longer felt guilty, it was an accident. She also knew that she and Fred could finally be in a relationship. Everything happens for a reason, she knew. 'And now Ginny won't be upset!'
"Well I'm not going to date you now," Jessica said, "It's a little too early. Wait a bit longer. Not a year, but just a bit. It's not a big deal." Jess put her finger on Fred's lips to silence him.
Very soon, the real story will begin.
(I didn't intend for the fanfic to be like this, but hey, go with the flow!)
