Previously-

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her wand and made her way into the entrance as well at a safe distance from Severus. Listening to the voices but not sure what was being said, Jessie entered the Shack. Quietly she stepped up the old, dirty wood steps and made it to a hallway where a door was left open. It was easy to tell they were all in that room. She couldn't see Severus in the Hallway so she figured he must have already entered, thought she couldn't hear his voice.

Jessica took one last deep breath to compose herself before walking into the room.

"Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within." Remus said, pointing his wand at Sirius, who was lying on the ground.

"Remus!" Jessie said, stepping into the room with her wand at her side. She looked to Ron in the corner on the ground holding his rat, then to Harry and Hermione standing next to each other looking frightened and unsure. Now she looked back to Remus and Sirius. "What's going on?"

Remus knew how misleading the scene was looking to her so he helped Sirius up and the hugged each other.

Jessie let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding and relaxed, then looked around the room once more but didn't see Severus. She tenced again when she felt someone watching her from behind.

"I've found him." Sirius said.

"I know." Remus replied as Jessie stepped to the side so she was closer to the three students, making them feel a little safer.

"No!" Hermione shouted to Remus. "I trusted you! And all this time you were helping him."

"Hermione-" Jessie started, but was cut off by Hermione continuing.

"She turned to Harry "He's a werewolf! That's why Professors Scott and Snape have been taking over his classes." She looked back to the two men.

Jessie sighed lightly and looked to Remus.

"How long have you known?' He asked

"Since Professor Snape set the essay."

Jessie frowned, not knowing an essay was given on werewolves. She had missed that day obviously.

"Well, Hermione. You really are one of the brightest witches of your age I have ever met.." Remus commented.

"Enough talk Remus." Jessie turned her attention to Sirius as he spoke. He looked to her "Come on, lets kill him!"

The three students looked at her.

"Wait!" Remus told him.

"I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!" Sirius shouted, startling them all.

Jessie and Remus looked at each other. "Alright…" She said. Offering Sirius her wand. He took it.

"Professor!" Harry shouted in disbelief.

She looked at him "It's not what you think it is." Ste tried to explain calmly. "None of us here would ever hurtyou. Any of you."

"He betrayed my parents! He's the reason they're dead!" Harry told her, not knowing who he could trust. "How could you, after everything you've done for us!" He said, remembering how she went to the Chamber of Secrets with him and Ron.

"It wasn't him!" She said defencivly.

"Somebody did betray your parents that night, Harry." Remus explained more. "But it was someone, until quite recently, we believed to be dead!"

"Who was it then?" Harry asked, still not believing them.

"Peter Pettigrew." Sirius said the name scornfully. "And he's in this room! Right now!"

Jessie watched him worriedly. At this point he seemed ready to do whatever it took to any of them to get the rat.

"Come out, come out, Peter." He waves Jessie's wand in his hands "Come out, come out, and play!"

"Expelliarmus!" Severus stepped into the room and disarmed the two other men.

Jessie jumped back a little.

"Vengeance issweet. How I'd hoped I'd be the one to find you." Severus glared at Sirius and pointed his wand at him.

"Severus!" Jessie and Remus moved in front of their friend, standing side my side. "Wait." She pleaded to him.

"Move!" He told them both as he held his wand steady.

Slowly, the two moved out of the way knowing that without wands they couldn't defend anyone.

"I told Dumbledore you two were helping an old friend into the castle and now I have the proof."

Sirius stepped closer "Brilliant, Snape. As usual you put your keen mind to the task and come to the wrong conclusion. Now if you'll excuse us, we have some business to attend to."

Severus put his wand to Sirius's neck "Give me a reason, I beg you"

Jessie panicked, no longer remembering the three kids where there. "Severus, you're making a mistake!"

"He can't help it, it's a habit!" Sirius told her.

"Shut up!" She snapped at him.

"Shut up yourself!" He shot her a glare.

"Listen to you two, quarreling like an old married couple." Severus said scornfully.

"Why don't you go play with your chemistry set?"

Severus pushed his wand into Sirius's neck making the other adults flinch.. "I could do it you know. But why deny the dementors, their so longing to see you. The dementor's kiss, they say it's unbearable to witness but I'll do my best"

Sirius's face changed to show almost complete fear just as Jessie's. She summoned her wand but as took as she had it in her hand, harry had already grabbed Hermione's and shouted "Expelliarmus!" The spell knocked Severus off his feet, throwing him into Jessie. They both flew across the room, into the wall, and landed on the ground unconscious.

Erik walked back into the hospital wing with Roxy on her leash, struggling to go where Erik wanted her to. "I brought a visitor." He said, then looked at the empty bed and frowned. "Dammit!" he looked down at the dog wand let her off her leash, knowing she would know where to go.

Jessie slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes to see that no one was with her.

She groaned and stood up "Some gentlemen… no one even thought to take me out of this dust hole."

There was a loud howl and she began to panic once more. "Remus…" As quickly as she could she grabbed her wand and ran out of the room and down the stairs, trying to remember everything Sirius had told her about changing into her animagus form, something she had never done before. By the time she had gotten almost half way through the tunnel, she was running on all fours.

Severus made his way through the tunnel still fuming about what had just happened. He saw the three students standing together and made his way to Harry. "There you are, Potter. I-"

He saw Harry's green eyes full of fear and looking behind him. Severus turned around and saw a large werewolf coming at them. He covered the trio and prepared to be hit but before Remus could make his move a large white tiger pounced on him sending him to the ground. In seconds Jessie and Remus were standing few feet apart, lunging and cawing at each other until he threw her off of him and into the ground.

He let out another howl but Jessie let out a loud roar in case any other werewolves were around, not wanting them to hear it.

Severus watched the werewolf step closer to the tiger that was still lying on the ground. The sound of dogs barking made him look around and see Roxy, along with Sirius running towards Remus and jumping on him to knock him down. It took less than a second for him to get up and come at them full force clawing both dogs. He stopped and turned back to Severus, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Jessie slowly got up and crept behind him quietly, ready to jump. There was a loud howl from off in the distance making Remus stop and run off into the forest.

She looked to Sirius and Roxy.

Sirius was stumbling off down a hill and Roxy was slowly making her way to her owner.

"Sirius!" Harry called before running down the hill after him.

"Come back here Potter!" Severus called, keeping Hermione from running after him.

While everyone's attention was elsewhere, Jessie transformed into her normal self.

Hermione looked over to Jessie and gasped. "P-professor…Your…"

Severus turned to look at her.

Ron's jaw dropped.

"What?" She asked. Hearing footsteps she turned around and saw Erik walking down from the castle panting heavily.

He looked at the kids, then Jessie. "Oh no…"

"You're you…" Hermione told her.

Severus and Jessie waited quietly in Dumbledore's office after taking Ron to the Hospital wing, reapplying Jessie's charms, sending Erik home, healing Roxy's wounds, finding Harry and Sirius, and speaking with Poppy. Neither of them spoke a word; they were both angry with one another.

The door opened, letting Dumbledore and Fudge walk in.

Fudge grinned "Sirius Black has been caught thanks to the two of you."

Jessie gritted her teeth "I assure you, it was all Severus…"

"No need to be modest." He told her "You helped."

Fudge smiled "Jamie Scott is it? I've had Dumbledore show me your qualifications."

"Qualifications?" The two professors asked in unison.

Dumbedore went behind his desk and sat down.

"I received Ms. Scott's application only Yesterday and I believe it is clear you are perfect for an Auror."

Jessie raised a brow "I never sent in an application."

"Of course you did my dear." Fudge waved his wand and Jessie's application landed in her lap.

She blinked and picked it up, looking it over. It was the paper Dumbledore had given her to fill out in the middle of the year, the one Remus helped her with. "Oh… now I remember."

Severus gave her an odd look.

"Do you still want the position?" Fudge looked her over.

Quickly she thought it over. A new job would mean she wouldn't see Severus. That also meant no more fighting. "Of course."

She replied.

Fudge smiled "Splendid. You will start training week."

"Will that be all Minister?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, The Daily Prophet is wanting an interview with the two of you."

"I would like to respectfully decline, Sir," Jessie said quietly, looking at the paper in her hand before it vanished.

Severus watched her before looking back at Fudge. "I would like to do the same."

"Oh…" He sounded disappointed "Well then… I shall be off." He went to the fireplace and flooed away.

Jessie stood and walked out of the office to pack her things. Next year she would not be teaching at Hogwarts. She needed to make sure she took everything and left the next morning.

Hope you liked it. There may be one more short chapter... or not. I'm not sure. Review :)
