Previously…
"That's enough, Mr. Weasley." Any other time, she would have loved to hear all of that, it would amuse her. Then she would give the memory to Severus and he would see a Weasley break under pressure. But this times it the other information was to important.
"Come to my office." She said as Hermione glared at Ron.
*~*~*~*~ Going back a bit*~*~*~*~
Rose ran up the to get to Ron and Hermione but when she reached the top, she couldn't see them. Thinking they weren't there yet, she went back down the steps. Stepping off to the side from everyone else, she took off the invisibility cloak. As she took it off, the letter she had planned to give to Jessie flew out of her pocket. Rose bent down to pick it up but a rat grabbed it in it's mouth and ran off with it.
"Hey!" She said as she followed the rat a long ways and into the forest. Getting frustrated, she took out her wand "Stupefy"
The rat stopped moving and she picked up the letter then looked at the rat. It's fur was matted with blood and had a toe missing.
Rose frowned attempted to find her way back, but was lost.
Severus sneered.
Gryffindor had won the match, Jessie was no where in sight, Lucius has been there, and he had an unsettled feeling in his gut about what Jessie said she saw.
After the match was over Severus stayed behind to make sure no students ran off into the forest. As he walked back alone, he heard voices but wasn't sure who they were from. He followed them.
After what seemed like an hour, she finally heard someone coming.
"Pansy?" Rose looked at Pansy Parkinson who was walking toward her. "What are you doing here?"
Pansy took out her wand and glared at her "You took him!"
Rose stared at her "What? Who?"
Pansy glared "Draco!"
"D-… Draco? Draco is my friend! The only reason I have been talking with him is because he is the only one that has accepted me!"
"Expelliarmus!" Pansy shouted heatedly.
Rose whipped out her wand, blocking the spell.
The girls glared at each other before Pansy shouted, "Expelliarmus! Stupefy! Stupefy!"
Rose was only able to block the first spell and was hit with both Stupefies. She flew backwards and slammed into a tree then slumped to the ground.
Pansy waited for the spell to wear off, hoping to have another go at the girl she believe to have ruined her life.
Finally able to move again, Rose sat her self on her knees, her right arm pressed against her stomach. She grabbed her wand with her left hand.
Pansy glared with fire in her eyes as she said "Avad-"
"Expelliarmus!" Rose shouted and Pansy's wand flew out of her hand. "Obscuro." A blindfold appeared over her eyes and before she could rip it off, "Confundo!."
"Confundo!" Severus heard a familiar voice shout as he appeared at the scene.
Jessie stood behind her desk with her arms crossed and glared at the two students sitting in front of her. "How long has she been here?"
"O-over… half the year, Professor." Hermione answered fearfully as she stared into the piercing blue eyes that had always held some type of motherly warmth. Now they were full of anger and disappointment.
Hearing the footsteps inside the castle, Jessie knew the match was over. "Stay here while I get Potter." She looked at Roxy, who was sitting next to where she stood "watch." She commanded.
As she left the room, Ron tried to stand. But as soon as he made one movement to do so, Roxy growled loudly causing him to whimper.
Hermione gripped the arms of the chair and took deep breaths. "Oh Merlin, we are getting expelled."
Jessie walked to the entrance of the castle where a large amount of students and staff. She spotted Harry just as he looked at her. "My office, Potter. Granger and Weasley are waiting."
He saw her anger clearly and hurried to her office.
"What's all this about?" Jessie turned around and softened her expression when her eyes landed on Remus.
"I'll explain later… Have you seen Severus?"
He sighed, knowing she would tell Severus before anyone else "He stayed behind to make sure the students all returned promptly."
She nodded "Thanks." she gave him a smile before heading out of the castle and down the trail.
After several minutes she saw Severus standing still in the forest. Before Jessie had a chance to call him, he hurried deeper into the forest.
Sensing something was wrong, she ran after him.
He stopped and Jessie saw Rose on the ground. She continued running until she got to where Severus was standing.
Severus felt Jessie beside him before he hurried over to see who the hurt student was. He knelt down in front of the girl who was holding her wrist to he stomach. "Let me see." he said evenly.
The girl held out her wrist and look at him.
Severus saw her hold out her wrist and he examined it, not looking at her face. It had began to bruise and the large bump on the side told him it was in fact broken. He looked up at her and tensed.
Rose used her left hand to wipe the tears in her eyes away as she looked at Severus.
"P-professor?" Rose looked at him "Are you alright?"
"Severus…" Jessie said as she pulled the blindfold off of Pansy. He immediately looked at her. "Lets get them to the castle." She told him once she noticed how tense he had gotten. "I'll take R-"
"That bloody bitch attacked me!" Pansy told them once her confusion wore off.
Severus glared at her "Shut up, Parkinson, before I have you expelled! And 50 points from Slytherin for injuring an innocent student!" he said protectively. "And if you ever use that type of language toward another student it will be another 20 points."
"I'd shut it if I were you." Jessie frowned to the girl as she pushed her through the forest. "I believe detention with filtch for two moths is enough punushement." She stopped walking and looked to Severus and Rose. Severus was still looking at her. "I can-"
Severus turned back to Rose before he litened to the rest of the sentence "Are you hurt anywhere else?" He asked in a soft voice.
She shook her head. "I promise, I didn't attack her, Sir."
"I know." He said helping her up.
As they walked to the castle in silence, Rose avoided looking at Jessie, knowing she was probably upset with her.
When all four got to the hospital wing, Jessie send a Patronus to Albus along with Rose's dad. She looked at Severus, who was watching Rose as Poppy healed her wrist. "And you though I was going mad." She told him.
He looked at her, but said nothing.
She sighed "It's scary how alike they look…" she told him noticing rose had died her hair dark red, like Lily's was.
