Chapter 20: Bowing Kreacher.
Jessica turned her head looking at MacNair as he leered at her from across the table. "Scusa" she uttered her voice suddenly breaking up as she tried to hold her composure as his words caught her unawares.
"What are you going on about Walden?" Umbridge snapped annoy with his sudden preoccupation with the old Hag.
"She's no old hag" he snarled at her "It's Jessica Black".
"Oh don't be so ridiculous Walden, I think you've had one too many brandy's" Umbridge said but uncertainty crept into her voice as she looked over to her.
Jessica slipped her wand out of her skirt as Snuffles stood readying himself for what was about to transpire, she looked over to Remus and Tonks as they stood near Harry and Nicole, Remus looked over at her as she slipped off her glasses.
"Harry, you and Nicole get back up to the school now!" he said seizing Harry by the shoulders.
"Professor Lupin!!" Harry and Nicole exclaimed shocked to see him standing in front of them.
Tonks grabbed them forcefully ushered them towards the door, Nicole looked over at the old lady her eyes making contact with Nicole, the connection was instant .
"That's my mum" Nicole said trying to pull away from Tonks as she shoved them out the door, Hermione and Luna quickly following to see what was going on.
Jessica waited till Tonks had the kids safely out the door before letting go of Snuffles she turned facing Walden one hand leaning on the table the other gripping her wand under the it, she looked him squarely in the eye. "Muggles do carry wands" she said thrusting her wand into his groin as he grabbed her arm.
He let slip an agonizing groan as Umbridge suddenly realized what was going on, his grip on her arm tightening as she tried to move away.
"Emit" Jessica said determinedly, a small but extremely painful charge sparked from her wand reducing MacNair to a quivering mass of tears as his groin area burned with excruciating pain, Jessica slipped out from the seat giving the utterly perplexed Umbridge a threatening smile before grabbing Snuffles and making a hasty exit.
Remus quickly moved stepping in front of Umbridge as she headed for the door after them, "You don't want to do that" he warned her.
She looked up at him her face rapidly draining of colour, as she was face to face with the one person she feared most 'a werewolf'.
Snuffles was no more than six feet from The Three Broomsticks before he changed back into Sirius, he grabbed her hand as they ran through the pouring rain, Jessica discarding her cumbersome shoes, shawl and bag along the way.
Her pace slowed considerably as they reached the trail up to the cave, her legs ached from the weight of her waterlogged clothes, Sirius put his arm around her forcing her to keep moving, her body protesting in pain as the rain continued to bucket down.
Both of them collapsed to the cave floor their chests rising and falling rapidly as they laid trying to catch their breath, neither of them uttered a word for the longest time, Sirius lifted his head looking over at Jessica her body trembling with the coldness of her wet clothes. "Let's get you out of them clothes" He said getting up and moving over to her.
She sat up as Sirius handed her the backpack, "I screwed up" she said softly as she pulled off her saturated clothes.
Sirius crouch in front of her as she slipped on her jumper, "Nah you weren't to know that pratt would turn up there and anyway I thought you handled situation brilliantly, you held your own and didn't panic" he said leaning forward and kissing the top of her head.
Jessica smiled kindly up at him as his words comforted her Sirius gave her a queasy smile as he looked at her face before reaching into the backpack and pulling out the Flectere potion and waved it in front of her.
Jessica pulled on her joggers then pulled out the small mirror and started applying the Flectere potion as Sirius suddenly got up pulling out his wand alerted by the sound of sloshing footsteps coming towards them.
Two drowned rats suddenly stood in the cave entrance 'Harry and Nicole' soaked to the bone both shivering but both smiling broadly.
"What. what are you pair doing up here?" Sirius said pulling them into an embrace as Jessica rushed over joining the group hug.
"That's what I'd like to know" Remus said breathlessly coming up behind them grabbing both of them by the scruff of the collar, "I distinctly remember telling both of you to get back up to the school".
"We just wanted to make sure you's were alright" Harry said looking up at Sirius, who smiled as he gave Harry a friendly clip across the ear.
"Well as you can see they're both safe, now come on Tonks is waiting down the bottom of the track she going to see you's safely to the shack and you can make your way back up to the school through the tunnel" Remus said as he tugged on both there arms.
"Please can't we just stay for a little while" Nicole pleaded.
" Alright One minute but that's all" Remus said reluctantly as all their eyes pleaded to him.
Sirius pulled Harry aside warning him about Umbridge's conversation with MacNair, while Nicole was more interested in how her mother managed to change her appearance so drastically, Jessica pulled the small pink bottle of Rugosus potion from her bag showing it to her.
"Times up" Remus told them as Nicole slipped the bottle of potion into her pocket before hugging her mother and father goodbye.
Harry looked at Sirius a twinge niggled in his stomach as he said his good-byes, "You's might want to get a move on" Remus suggested to Sirius as he escort Harry and Nicole from the cave and down to Tonks.
Sirius quickly gathered their things together as he heeded Remus's words then they made there way down to the bike.
The rain beat down on them all the way back to Grimmwauld Place, it was well after ten before the front door opened and they traipsed in, Sirius pushed the bike into the sitting room before grabbing a towel and wiping the bike down .
Jessica headed down to the kitchen where Tonks and Remus sat awaiting there return Remus looked down at her feet as she slopped across the kitchen floor her shoes soaked with water.
"I'm off to bed" Tonks said yawning loudly as she put her cup in the sink and headed out the door.
Jessica pulled her jumper off spreading it out across the back of the chair in front of the fire to dry then made a coffee for Sirius and herself, she looked over to Remus as she stirred the coffee's "Thanks for all your help today".
"The pleasure was all mine" Remus smiled looking up from the paper at her, "For once in my life I felt proud being a werewolf, even if it was only to scare the pants off that conceded hag Umbridge".
"Well I'm going to have my coffee a lovely hot shower then hit the sack so I'll see ya in the morning" she said as she left the room.
Sirius was still drying his bike as Jessica came in handing him his coffee, he watched her as she started to rummage through the backpack the soft light of the desk lantern highlighting the gentle curves of her body as her wet shirt started to cling to her skin, "I'm sure I put that potion back in the bag" she said as she tucked a few loss strands of hair behind her ear.
"Sirius - Hello" Jessica said waving her hands in front of him as he stared in a trance.
"Hmm, I wouldn't worry it's not like your going to need it again" he smiled tossing the towel onto the couch.
"Returned finally" Phineas scowled at Jessica as she made her way along the corridor to the bedroom, she rested her cup on the tall boy as she slipped off her sodden shoes then grabbed her towel and headed across to the bathroom.
A pile of clothes already laid on the floor near the sink she noticed as she turned the shower on, she looked over as the door closed and Sirius stood bare naked smiling at her.
"Oh so now your frisky" she said pulling off her shirt as he watched silently, he moved over to her pinning her against the wall as his desire to have her peaked, he pulled back on her hair exposing her neck to him, his hand tracing down her face, neck, lingering around the tip of her bra before moving down and undoing her jeans as his eyes intently watched hers for her reactions, his lips caressed down her neck as his hands skillfully removed her remaining undergarments.
She looked at him as he lifted his face to hers "So it is only my face that turns you on is it?" she whispered breathless in his ear arousing him even more as her hand glided down below his waist line, he closed his eyes as a deep groan rose from the pit of his throat rendering him incapable of words at that moment.
He opened his eyes, his hand ran up the back of her neck clenching a handful of hair again pulling her head back, his lips brushed her cheek as they moved to her lips he gazed down at her "Every inch of you turns me on" he uttered softly before bringing his lips down on hers as he guided her into the shower.
Their bodies melted together as their passionate kissing intensified under the sensual feel of the warm water as it cascaded over their skin, Sirius's hands explored the intricate shape of her body as his lips tasted her, he knew every inch of her and her every desire, he lifted her up her legs instinctively wrapped around him, his muscular arms supporting her, her head resting against the tiles, he watched the beads of water glide over her body as he experienced every move she made.
Remus rapped lightly on the bathroom door as Tonks came down the stairs muttering under her breath peeved at being woken, he watched her descend the stairs as she headed for the kitchen, he opened the bathroom door after getting no response, "Padfoot, Albus is here he wants you and Jess downstairs".
He heard a groan of annoyance come from behind the shower curtain before Sirius acknowledged him, "We'll be down shortly" Sirius grumble at the intrusion.
"He said now" Remus said tentatively.
A flurry of language spilled from Sirius's mouth as he was not only interrupted but now he had to rush through his intimate liaison.
^^^^^^
Sirius tapped his fingers on the table impatiently as Dumbledore stood in front of the fire, "How many times do you pair have to be told not to leave the house before it actually starts to sink in" he said calmly as he turned and looked at Sirius and Jessica.
Sirius open his mouth to respond but Dumbledore silenced him, "You four not only risked being exposed today you endangered the two people you went to protect, not to mention a pub full of students who could have been caught up in anything that could of arisen"
"It was my fault, MacNair recognized the ring on my finger" Jessica said putting her head down.
Dumbledore glanced down at her hand before glaring back at her "You shouldn't have been there in the first place!".
"Well no one else was there to look out for them" Sirius snapped "And don't tell me Dung was there because he bloody wasn't".
"We were the only ones there" Remus added.
Dumbledore's eyes flicked with anger as Mundungus once again let the order down with his neglect of duty, "I shall be dealing with Mundungus Fletcher that will be certain".
He sighed out of frustration as he looked at the four of them, "This is your last warning if you leave the house again even for one of your little midnight strolls I will place a restrictive charm on both of you, your bike has been disabled to remove that temptation too".
"What!!" Sirius bellowed rising to his feet "You can't just expect us to sit around this damn house"- "That's exactly what I expect" Dumbledore shouted back at Sirius "There is two kids up at that school that need you two and you two seem determined to line yourselves up as targets for Voldemort and the Ministry, if you can't be responsible then I will make you" He snapped, pointing his finger firmly in Sirius's chest.
Sirius shoved his hand away and pushed past him as he stormed from the room, deep down he knew Albus was right but he wasn't about to stand there and let him see that.
The room fell silent as Dumbledore regained his composure, "If that's all I'm going back to bed" Tonks said as she rose from her seat.
"I expected more sense from you Nymphadora" Dumbledore uttered in a disheartened tone as he held the door opened for her before following her out.
Jessica looked over to Remus his eyes already gazing at her "If anything were to"-
"You don't even have to ask Jess," he said reading her look "You know I would look after them".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The months seem to drag on endlessly as April drifted into May and May into June, they had complied with Dumbledore's wishes and had not left the house since his lecture. Sirius relieved his boredom with his imagination as he devised games that not only stimulated his mind but annoyed Kreacher.
Remus had stopped looking into the drawing when he knew they were playing wizard chess, a pile of clothes usually Jessica's lay on the floor as she lost another game to Sirius. He watched as their confinement drew them even closer both of them surviving off the other, their bonds unexplainable as they read each other's thoughts and feelings.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thursday morning: A week before the kids were due home, it started like every other day, a lazy breakfast followed by a read of the Daily Prophet, Remus ambled into the kitchen in his boxers and a T- shirt, followed by Tonks in her teddy, getting dressed for breakfast had long been dispensed with . Jessica looked over as she rested back on Sirius as they both glanced through the paper.
"So what's on the agenda today?" Tonks asked enjoying the relaxed mood on her day off.
"Oh maybe a trip into Harrods followed by lunch at the Ritz and then we might stretch out on the sun deck and work on our tan" Jessica teased.
"Lunch at the Ritz?" Sirius questioned with raised eyebrows "Who do you think you are the high priestess, you wouldn't make it past the first step".
"Your not serious?" she scoffed looking up at him, an obvious groan was heard from Remus.
"Yes I am" he stated with a smirk on his face "Arh but are you Jessathena?".
"No! But you will be talking like a girl if you keep that up" she warned as Sirius quickly moved back in his seat as her hand reached down between his legs.
"For your information I have been to the Ritz, I went with my mother when I was about ten" she said looking up at him a broad grin greeted her "And don't even think of saying what you are thinking".
"What?" he laughed
"No she didn't go there for a pick up.... I don't think" she said frowning slightly.
Remus sat back laughing his arm resting on Tonks.
"Well I'm going up to make the bed" Jessica said getting up and running her finger nail across the back of Sirius's neck.
Sirius watched her cross the floor to the door a glance between them brought him to his feet, "I think I'll just give her a hand" he said moving briskly to the door.
"Yeah right make it or roll in it" Tonks laughed as he left the room.
Remus and Tonks didn't see them for the rest of the morning but a lot of squealing and giggling from Jessica was heard coming from their room.
Kreacher looked up at Jessica as she headed down to the kitchen, he bowed graciously at her as they past in the corridor before laughing with delight as he ran up the stair to his favorite haunt the attic.
"That is one deranged house elf" Tonks said coming up behind Jessica.
"You don't think he's been up to something" Jessica said as she cautiously opened the kitchen door, "I mean it's not like him to bow at me it's usually just a torrid of abuse".
Tonks looked around the kitchen to see what he had done but found nothing, "Just deranged" she reaffirmed.
Jessica grabbed Sirius a glass of water while Tonks made Remus and herself a afternoon snack, they laid the warm afternoon away Sirius dozing off as Jessica rested her head on his thigh reading. Jessica got up as she heard Remus talking in the hallway, "What's going on?" she asked poking her head out the door.
"Phineas wanted to know if Sirius was here" Remus said looking puzzled.
"Why?" she questioned
Remus shook his head still looking perplexed, "Severus asked him to find out, Phineas didn't know why Severus wanted to know".
Jessica walked over to him both of them glancing up at the now empty frame, they looked at each other "It's probably nothing" Remus said but his eyes filled with concern.
"Coffee" Tonks called from the bottom of the stairs, Remus smiled reassuringly before he headed down stairs.
Jessica went back to the room waking Sirius, "You put my book back and I'll make you a coffee" Jessica said as they headed for the door.
"Deal and I'll have a sandwich to go with it, I'm starved" Sirius smiled as he headed into the drawing room.
Jessica stood making Sirius a ham and cheese sandwich when he bound into the kitchen looking like the cat who swallow the preverbal canary.
"What are you grinning about?" Tonks asked as he past her picking Jessica up spinning around with her.
"What?" She laughed when he put her back down, his smiling making them all grin in anticipation.
"You have no idea" he beamed at her.
"Ah.. you found Kreacher dead on the stairs?" Jessica guessed.
"Ooh that would be good but nah wrong no cigar my dear" he said raising his eyebrows teasingly.
"Well are you going to tell us?" Remus said busting to know.
Sirius looked back at Jessica the smile still firmly plastered across his face, a spluttering cough drew all their attention to the fire place as Dumbledore's head appeared.
"Harry, Nicole, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna all entered the ministry of magic ten minutes ago"
Jessica and Tonks ran for the stairs while Sirius and Remus collected the information off Albus.
Jessica ran into the room grabbing hers and Sirius's robes and wands she instinctively pulled her hair up into a ponytail as she did all those years ago when they were heading into what they knew would be a battle, she pulled her robe on and toss Sirius his.
"We know there is at least five Deatheaters in there, Kingsley and Moody are meeting us there", Remus said as he removed the charms from the door.
The door closed behind them the house almost silent the only sound came from up in the attic a gleeful sniggering from Kreacher as he watched them Apparate

Jessica turned her head looking at MacNair as he leered at her from across the table. "Scusa" she uttered her voice suddenly breaking up as she tried to hold her composure as his words caught her unawares.
"What are you going on about Walden?" Umbridge snapped annoy with his sudden preoccupation with the old Hag.
"She's no old hag" he snarled at her "It's Jessica Black".
"Oh don't be so ridiculous Walden, I think you've had one too many brandy's" Umbridge said but uncertainty crept into her voice as she looked over to her.
Jessica slipped her wand out of her skirt as Snuffles stood readying himself for what was about to transpire, she looked over to Remus and Tonks as they stood near Harry and Nicole, Remus looked over at her as she slipped off her glasses.

Jessica stood making Sirius a ham and cheese sandwich when he bound into the kitchen looking like the cat who swallow the preverbal canary.
"What are you grinning about?" Tonks asked as he past her picking Jessica up spinning around with her.
"What?" She laughed when he put her back down, his smiling making them all grin in anticipation.
"You have no idea" he beamed at her.
"Ah.. you found Kreacher dead on the stairs?" Jessica guessed.
"Ooh that would be good but nah wrong no cigar my dear" he said raising his eyebrows teasingly.
"Well are you going to tell us?" Remus said busting to know.
Sirius looked back at Jessica the smile still firmly plastered across his face, a spluttering cough drew all their attention to the fire place as Dumbledore's head appeared.
"Harry, Nicole, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna all entered the ministry of magic ten minutes ago"
Jessica and Tonks ran for the stairs while Sirius and Remus collected the information off Albus.
Jessica ran into the room grabbing hers and Sirius's robes and wands she instinctively pulled her hair up into a ponytail as she did all those years ago when they were heading into what they knew would be a battle, she pulled her robe on and toss Sirius his.
"We know there is at least five Deatheaters in there, Kingsley and Moody are meeting us there", Remus said as he removed the charms from the door.
The door closed behind them the house almost silent the only sound came from up in the attic a gleeful sniggering from Kreacher as he watched them Apparate
