Hey guys thank you so much for your patience on getting this chapter up. I got major writers block during the middle but its done now! Warning Spanking in this chapter.
***Bella/Violet's POV***
I woke up Monday morning to doors slamming. Draco was no longer in bed and our bedroom door was open. I groaned and put a pillow over my head. Fred came in and flopped on my bed.
"Your boyfriend's a prat." He said, pulling at the blanket covering me. I tugged harder to keep it on me, not wanting to deal with his dramatics this early. Or dealing with him seeing what I had on under the blanket. I kept the pillow over my head and a tight grip on my blanket. Fred continued to try to get the blanket and pillow away from me for a solid ten minutes. He was preventing me from falling back to sleep which was pretty aggravating.
"Oi Weasley, out of our room and especially out of our bed." Draco said coming back into the room, in just a towel. I felt Fred get off the bed.
"Finally Malfoy, you're out of the bathroom." Fred said walking out of the room and closing the door. I took the pillow off my head before I turned to glare at Draco who looked at me with an amused smile.
"You two are extremely loud." I complained cocooning myself further into the blankets. Draco came and sat on the bed next to me and began to run his fingers through my hair.
"I'm sorry we woke you up Princess, I was gonna wake you up after my shower. Let's have a good day though okay? Why don't you get up and get ready?" He asked, keeping his voice calm. I let my glare soften, I could never stay mad at Draco for long.
"Fine, but I'm still sleepy." I said, loosening the grip on the blankets as Draco dropped a kiss on my head before getting up. I watched him for a few moments before getting up myself. I grabbed a corduroy skirt with buttons down the front, a long sleeve red tight fitted shirt and a pair of tights before getting dressed. I kept my wand holstered on my hip. Draco put on a pair of jeans and a fitted green t and a black leather jacket. I turned to him and grabbed the gel off the dresser before musing with his hair. He smiled as he let me do his hair for the day.
"Baby will you grab my black heels out of the closet please?" I asked sweetly. He smirked at me and grabbed them before giving me a kiss. I put my shoes on kissing him again before opening the door to our room.
"Fred's out of the bathroom so I'm going to go do my hair and make up okay love? You can wait up here for me or you can go eat something with Fred and Remus." I told him before going into the bathroom. I curled my hair and pulled part of it back and did a quick makeup routine. I missed doing this on my hair especially because my hair rested a bit below the middle of my back, closer to my lower back. Bella's only fell onto her shoulder blades. I made my way out of the bathroom to see Draco not in our room. I grabbed my black leather jacket and my school bag before heading down stairs. I didn't hear fighting so I took that as a positive.
"Okay guys, it's 6:30. Fred, Dray and I have to be at school in about 50 minutes. We need to drop Moony off at the Cullens before we go, it's 15 minutes there then 30 to school so we need to go now. Fred for the love of god go change your shirt now." I said finally looking up and seeing Fred in a geometric neon yellow and green shirt. "Draco please help him, we don't need to stand out more than we already do." Draco nodded and went to help Fred find a shirt as Moony smiled at me.
"You definitely are just like your mother Starshine. You can bet she had the same problems getting James and Sirius ready in the morning. Sirius always tried to do crazy things and it was your mother and I's responsibility to reign him back in." Moony said looking at me fondly. Draco and Fred came back in, Fred now wearing a deep purple shirt.
"Much better lets go. Moony Fred grab whatever you need and Fred holster your wand" I said looking at them. They both moved out of the room again.
"Violet breakfast now." Draco said, giving me one of his looks. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet.
"Happy?" I asked, attitude dripping from my voice. Draco came over to me and landed a sharp swat to my bottom.
"I'll be happy when you drop the attitude Violet. I know you got woken up early and are grumpy but lose the attitude or you won't be very happy when we get home. Understood?" He said strictly
"Yes Dray I understand." I said quietly. He nodded and kissed me gently.
"Good Girl, now let's go." He said taking my hand. We met Moony and Fred by the front door before loading into the SUV.
"Vi are you excited to go home?" Remus asked as I started to drive. I shrugged not really wanting to talk about it. Draco took my hand and leaned over a bit.
"I don't think he speaks shrug darling." Draco said gently
"I guess." I said quietly hoping he'd drop it.
"What's wrong Darling, aren't you excited to see your brother and your friends?" Remus pushed.
"And just go back to being Harry Potter's sister. Thrilling." I said getting annoyed as Draco gave me a look. I knew he didn't care so much what I said but the attitude I had when saying it.
"Violet what are you talking about Starlight? You're more than Harry's sister, you know that right?" Remus said calmly
"Not to everyone else I'm not, everyone at school just sees me as Harry's sister. Harry's been treating me like crap since the triwizard tournament. I've been with Draco almost 3 years and Harry never noticed he didn't notice me sneaking out all the time. He used to watch me like a hawk then he stopped giving a fuck" I began to rant. Remus looked like he didn't know what to say when I looked in the rearview mirror.
"No one even notices me. All they see is Harry's sister, they want to be my friend because I'm Harry's sister. I hate being at Hogwarts, I hate being labeled the Golden Girl. I miss being there and learning and I do miss and love Harry but I don't miss how I'm treated. Everyone including the professors always talk about how Hermione and Draco are neck in neck for the smartest in our year. I love Draco and he is extremely smart but I got straight O's on my owls. I took ten OWLS the same amount as Hermione and she didn't make straight O's. Even the professors won't acknowledge it. Harry got one O and a fucking dreadful I get straight Os and no one cares. I'm not excited to go back to being ignored and not being able to hang around the one person who actually gives a damn." I said frustrated, Draco reached over and put a hand on my thigh, squeezing it in warning but I was too irritated to care.
"Violet honey…" Remus started but I interrupted him
"Don't Violet honey me I'm just as good at quidditch as him but I can only play when Harry gets himself in trouble or hurt, I'm really smart Remus but no one acknowledges it. I only got detention when I was following Harry or breaking up fights he was in. At Hogwarts I'm just his sister, the only people who don't see me like that are Draco Fred and George. And now Fred and George aren't there any more. Harry is going to have a fit when he finds out about Draco and I which I'm not ready to deal with. Harry's taken after Ron in the team don't give a shit about your sister. He pushes me away all the time, but because he has that damn lightning scar on his forehead everyone fawns over him. News flash I have scars too, I lost my parents too, it's my responsibility to get rid of Voldemort too. It's just been expected that I handle it better than him. He's allowed to throw fits and be a prat but I have to be respectful and on time and get the grades. So yea super thrilled to go back to the double standards. You guys are just lucky Draco's on the right side of the war." I finished ranting. Remus looked a bit shocked, Fred didn't look as shocked he already knew bits and pieces from talking to me while we were at Hogwarts and at the burrow.
"I'm sick of having to be the Gryffindor Golden girl, Little Miss Perfect. We're here and we need to get to school. I'll call Esme when schools out and see if you're here or at Charlie's. Bye Moony." I said coming to a stop in front of the Cullen home. I rested my head on the steering wheel. I could feel Moony looking at me as he got out of the car but he didn't say anything. I can't believe I let all of that out in less than 15 minutes. I'd kept that bottled up for years, since Harry started pulling away from me in 4th year.
Ron always treated Ginny kinda shitty and while I'm not her biggest fan I hated seeing that. After their fight over Harry and I getting pulled into the tournament, Harry started treating me like Ron treated Ginny. I love my brother dearly but he's a prat. He didn't even notice the next halloween when I didn't get out of bed at all. Ever since finding out how and when Mum and Dad died it always hit me really hard and for the first 4 years at Hogwarts, Harry kept me close to him, especially on Halloween. He was always hugging me and making sure I was okay. Now he could barely give me a second look unless he needed something, always planning with Ron and Hermione. Ignoring me like I was his annoying kid sister rather than his twin. I knew Draco wasn't happy with the attitude I gave Remus but I couldn't bring myself to care. Everyone looked at Harry like the sun shines out of his arse and I'm sick of it. Once we arrived at school Freddie came and gave me a tight hug.
"I'm proud of you Darling, you've needed to get that out for a long time." He said kissing the top of my head. Great now we get to deal with rumors at school. Draco came over and took my hand and I began walking to the office to get Freddie's time table.
"Morning Dearies, how can I help you?" Mrs. Cope asked as we entered.
"My cousin Fred is observing for the week as an exchange student from London, if you could get his schedule please?" I asked nicely. Mrs. Cope smiled at us bustling around the office and gathering the paperwork before giving it to us and wishing us a good day. We went back outside to head to the other building for class. Not before we got stopped by Jess, Angela and Mike.
"Bella, Draco, who's this?" Jess asked looking at Fred like he was a piece of meat.
"Guys this is my cousin Fred, he and my godfather are visiting for the week so Charlie arranged for Fred to come to school with us as an exchange student." I said the realization hitting me that I never had the forethought to check Fred's pockets or threaten him about pranks and muggles. I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to where I could comfortably whisper in his ear.
"You pull anything bizarre or magical on the muggles and I'll have your arse on a platter understand? I want anything bigger than a sparkler or popper in my bag in the next ten minutes'' I threatened quietly as Draco talked to the muggles. Fred gulped a bit and nodded knowing I would make his life hell if I had to follow through on my threat.
"Where are you from Fred?" Angela asked as we all made our way to math class.
"London, but I go to a private school in Scotland, just got out for the Christmas holidays and my dad sends me to more school." He laughed
"You cause too much trouble in your free time so Uncle Remus has to keep you occupied." I joked back "Freddie is a notorious prankster."
"I love your accent. How do you stay so fit?" Jessica flirted, Fred looked a bit uncomfortable and I knew the exact reason why.
"Jess I'd appreciate it if you didn't hit on my cousin." I said seriously as we walked into the classroom. "Do you want to sit with Fred or Ang?" I whispered in Draco's ear
"Weasley's your responsibility." Draco laughed before putting his stuff next to Angela's. I rolled my eyes and sat in front of them with Fred. School with him was interesting enough. I had to stop him from messing with everyone in nearly every class though I did allow him to put poppers on Alice Cullen's chair which Emmett found to be absolutely hilarious. We made it to lunch without any fires or major incidents, which with the co-founder of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes constantly trying to test new products, I would say it was a success.
Draco met us in the cafeteria where I brought Fred through the lunch line letting him pick whatever looked interesting to him. I just grabbed an apple before sitting at the table with the usual group. Draco joined us shortly, looking disapprovingly at my lunch before passing me a note.
'Go grab something more than an apple, I won't have you losing all the weight we worked on you gaining while we were here.I know you did not eat breakfast.'
I crumpled up the note. If I was already in trouble might as well make it worth it and besides I wasn't hungry. They spent the majority of the time talking to Fred who brought out a baggie of what looked like Bertie Bott's every flavor beans. I gave him a look and he smirked.
"I have to put a warning out there before you guys try them. These are joke jelly beans Fred gets from a candy shop in Scotland. They're either really good or absolutely disgusting. The time he got me to try them I got a soap flavored one. Okay continue at your own risk." I said sitting back and grabbing a red one hoping it would be cherry. Luckily I was correct but Jess and Mike were not as lucky. Mike got a chilli powder flavored one and Jess got earwax, Angela made it out with just a lemon flavored one.
"That was so nasty!" Jess exclaimed
"I did warn you." I laughed even Draco was laughing at their misfortune but alas that was the risk with Bernie Bott beans.
"Hey I thought they were good, but I'm not risking it again." Angela laughed. I laughed along with her. We left lunch shortly after and the rest of the day went as smooth as it could with Fred. Gym was particularly interesting trying to get him to understand the specifics regarding baseball, which was our new unit. I was still benched from my concussion so Draco got the pleasure of explaining it to him. We made our way to the car after gym, Jess following us like a lost puppy still fawning over Freddie. Mike was following her like the puppy he is.
"Bella! Do you guys want to hang out after school? A bunch of us are going to the diner to hang out for a bit!" She pestered. I thought about it for a moment and thought it would be a good idea to give Draco more time to calm down and potentially get me out of trouble. Before I could accept he cut in.
"Not today Jess, this weekend was a lot and Bella's been complaining of a headache from the concussion so we're just gonna go home so she can rest, maybe we can hang out another day this week." He said opening the door for me to get into the car. I did so reluctantly. He bid farewell to Jess and Mike before getting in the car with Fred following suit.
"Call Esme and find out where Moony is." I said sulkily, beginning to leave the school. Draco did so quietly.
"She dropped him off at Charlie's an hour ago." He told me and I drove home silently. Fred went straight inside but Draco and I hung back for a moment.
"We're getting this out of the way before we sit and talk to Remus and Fred more. I want you to go upstairs and wait for me and I am going to tell Remus that we need to have a conversation before you go apologize for your fit this morning, do you understand?" Draco said calmly.
"Yes Sir." I said quietly, gathering my school stuff and heading in behind Draco. He headed into the living room to talk. I made my way upstairs a little shaky. I haven't pissed Draco off like this in over a year. That's not saying I haven't gotten in trouble but I haven't gotten in trouble this badly. I planted myself on the bed waiting silently for Draco to come up. He didn't make me wait long, less than ten minutes. He also didn't wait long to start lecturing.
"Why are we here Violet Jasmine, especially when we could be having more fun doing something else?" He asked standing in front of me.
" I yelled a lot this morning and had an attitude and barely ate all day." I said quietly, training my eyes down towards the floor.
"Violet outside of some of the language you used this morning I have no problem with anything you said. But the way you said it was not appropriate. You were angry and you took it out on Remus. Had you told him you wanted to talk about it after school and had done so calmly we would not be having this conversation. But you choose to throw a tantrum and scream about it. You consistently ignored my warnings that you were having an attitude and needed to shape up which you know better than to do and you also didn't eat. We've talked about that too many times Violet Jasmine, your brother may let you get away with constantly skipping meals but I will not. Understood?" Draco asked strictly, I felt tears start welling up in my eyes knowing he was disappointed in me.
"Yes Sir." I answered quietly. Draco grabbed my hairbrush off the dresser and sat on the bed next to me.
"Up, let's get it over with Violet." He said gesturing to me to get up. I stood up a bit shakily standing on Draco's right side before he pulled me over his knee. I didn't fight him not wanting to make it worse for myself. I got myself as comfortable as I could, resting my head on my arms. Draco took a moment to rub my back before starting to swat me with his hand. He continued to swat over my skirt for a minute or two before lifting my skirt and exposing my panties. I squirmed a bit in embarrassment and discomfort. Draco began to swat me over my panties, I gasped after a moment as the sting started to build in my ass. He stayed on my panties for a few minutes, successfully getting me whining and swatted a few more times before his hand went to the top of my panties. My hand flew back grabbing the top of my panties.
"Nooo Dray please not on the bare, it hurts." I whined, He landed a few well placed swats to my sit spots before grabbing my wrist and pinning it to my back. Then he took my panties down. I let out a whine unhappy with the turn of events. Draco went back to swatting me with his hand and I began squirming in earnest. A few tears began streaming down my cheeks. After a good dozen swats or so he stopped, released my hand and began rubbing my bottom.
"Violet, why are we here?" He asked calmly.
"I yelled at Remus, ignored warnings and didn't eat." I said rubbing the tears in my eyes.
"And why isn't that okay?"
"Remus didn't do anything so it wasn't fair to him. Ignoring warnings gets me in trouble and not eating isn't healthy and we have a rule that I gotta eat 3 meals a day." I said putting my head down again.
"Exactly, are we going to do that again?" He asked
"No sir."
"That's right, because if you do, you'll end up in the same spot, getting spanked. Now I'm going to finish up with some swats from your hair brush, are you going to be able keep your hands up there or do you want to hold my hand?" He asked, rubbing my back softly.
"I wanna hold your hand Dray." I said quietly reaching my hand back. Draco took it and pinned it to my hip as he tightened his grip on my waist to lessen my squirming.
"We're almost done Baby just a bit more." Draco said, picking up the hair brush and beginning to swat me with it. I started squirming almost immediately, tears starting up again. Draco gave me about twenty swats with the brush focusing especially on the area where my butt met my the time he put the brush down I was sobbing and my bottom was on fire. He rubbed my back for a while as I calmed down before pulling my panties back up and lowering my skirt gently. Draco took a moment to gather me up in his arms before settling himself against the headboard as I buried my face in his neck.
"Shh Princess, you're okay, it's over, all forgiven." He continued to give me reassurance and run his fingers through my hair as I stopped crying. It took a little while but he never complained. He comforted me until I stopped burying my face against him in favor of resting my head on his shoulder. "There's my good girl. How are you feeling my love." He said, giving me a kiss on the head.
"Sore, I'm sorry I threw a tantrum this morning and didn't eat even though you gave me warnings." I said quietly
"Alls forgiven my love, but you do need to apologize to Remus, taking your anger out on others will never be okay. We can cuddle for a bit or we can go down stairs and see Fred and Remus." He said kissing my head again.
"I'd like to cuddle for a bit, I'm tired and not ready to see them Dray." I said curling closer to him. He moved us so we were laying down with me mainly on his chest, where I began to doze off trying to ignore the pain in my arse. I woke up from my little nap to Draco shaking me gently.
"Baby it's almost 4, you won't sleep tonight and I'm sure Remus and Fred think I'm murdering you or something. Why don't you go wash your face and we'll go down." He told me quietly, letting me wake up. I slowly got up and went into the bathroom, rubbing my sore bottom before washing my face. I went back into the bedroom and gave Draco a tight hug before allowing him to lead me down stairs. Draco sat on the couch and I planted myself in his lap. Remus and Fred watched us.
"I'm sorry Uncle Moony, I didn't mean to yell at you this morning." I said quietly looking at him.
"Violet why didn't you tell me or Sirius or another adult that it was this bad darling?" He asked gently.
"No one cared. When we got our OWLS Molly fretted over the boys but barely glanced at mine and at this point the professors just expect me to be top of the class, even while I'm here. Harry has more issues than me, they focus on him. Dumbledore even skipped me for prefect even though I have the best grades in Gryffindor." I said quietly.
"Violet I care. Mcgonagall Cares. Your professors do care." He said confidently.
"No they don't. They completely ignore my grades, my achievements. They're constantly focused on Harry, ignoring me and everyone else. Harry acts out and constantly gets detention or yells at someone or does something utterly stupid and gets himself hurt. They expect me to be the golden girl and keep him in line. Moony I had to stop studying with him in first year cause all he and Ron did was try to copy Hermione and I." I responded. "I just wanna be me, not Harry's sister. I like it here cause I'm not compared to him. I'm not ½ of the Potter twins, sure I have to pretend to be Bella but there's no expectation that I'm going to save the world just the expectation I do well in school."
"Violet I promise you I will be talking to the professors and Dumbledore. That is not okay, you are more than just Harry's sister. I will find out why Dumbledore skipped over you for prefect. And I will be speaking to Harry about how he's been treating you because that is not okay. I have seen how Ron treats Ginny and it's not pleasant." Moony assured me.
"Honestly George and I want to kick Ron's ass for how he treats Ginny but Mum won't let us." Freddie said from his spot in the recliner. I smiled slightly curling tighter into Draco.
"Violet it will change when we go back I promise you that." Moony said. We continued to chat for a while, before I went and made dinner. I made sure to give Remus a hug once I got up which he returned enthusiastically. Remus told us over dinner that all the Cullens were on our side and would be joining us in England after the Christmas holidays. The next day at school was a bit difficult because I was still sore but I made it through. Tuesday and Wednesday at school went semi-okay with Freddie still pulling as many pranks as he could get away with. Tuesday night we did end up hanging out with Jessica and Angela for the last time, Jess thoroughly making Fred uncomfortable for much of it. Wednesday night was full of packing and more packing for Draco and I. I left all the clothes that were here when I got here but I still had a lot of clothes that I had purchased.
We left for Seattle right after school on Thursday, Esme Cullen driving us. We couldn't risk a port key back to England so Dumbledore thought it best we take the muggle way. Our flight wasn't until 11 pm and with her terrifying driving we made it to Seattle by 4. Remus talked Draco and I into going to a nice dinner just the two of us, Esme giving me a beautiful emerald body con dress and silver heels to change into. I changed quickly in a bathroom and morphed myself back into my normal looks. I handed Moony my jeans and tee shirt to put into my backpack as he stared at me.
"Violet you look beautiful." Esme said brushing a piece of hair out of my face and using my real name for the first time. I smiled at her, noticing Draco had changed into a suit. Esme gestured us back into the car, driving us now to a fancy expensive restaurant in Seattle. She assured me she would take Remus and Fred for food before ushering us out of the car, telling us to call her when we were ready to be picked up. Remus told us to have a good time and Fred gave me a suspicious smirk, slipping something into my purse as I got out of the car. I followed holding his hand as he gave the maître d' his name. He had a reservation which made me slightly suspicious. We got lead to a table immediately.
"What's this about Draco?" I asked smiling
"Just want to treat my girl to a really nice meal before we go home to the shit show is all my love." He said, smiling, kissing my hand. The waiter came over before I could ask any more questions. I allowed Draco to order for us, lifting an eyebrow as he ordered a bottle of Champagne.
"And I will just need an ID from both of you before I can get that Mr. Malfoy." The waiter said smiling.
"Darling, I think I forgot my ID at home." I said shooting him a look as we were severely underage by American standards.
"I saw it on the counter before we left love, I slipped it in your purse." He said back, handing the waiter a passport book. I opened my bag and found a british passport with my real name and photo on it, listing my age as 21. The waiter took it and handed us both back the passports, heading off to get us the requested champagne. I let it go but definitely got a bit more suspicious. Before our meal came Draco went to the bathroom and I waited pondering what he may have been up too. We enjoyed dinner and champagne just talking and laughing. The meal we had was absolutely incredible, but I could tell Draco was getting a bit nervous.
"Darling why don't you send Esme a message to pick us up in about a half hour? That should give us enough time to finish dessert." He said smoothly taking a sip of his champagne. I gave him a look but did as he asked, noticing it was already 5:30 and we'd need to be at the airport soon.
"Violet if you had told me when we were 11 that I'd be sitting here with you right now, in America drinking champagne and having you in my bed every night, I would've said you were bloody insane. But now being here, living this life with you, I don't want anything else. You've shown me what love is and taken me for what I am, mistakes and all. You've never held my family against me and you've never wanted anything from me except me to be myself. You've made me a better person and I don't even want to think about the path I would've gone down if you didn't come into my life. So now I am going to ask you a very important question" He said standing up and bending down on one knee, I watched him in shock putting my hands to my face.
"Violet Jasmine Potter, Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Draco asked holding out a gorgeous ring with a ruby stone in the center surrounded by emeralds and diamonds on a silver band. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I all but launched myself into his arms.
"Yes Draco a million times yes." I said, pulling back to kiss him as he standed up with me. I vaguely heard clapping from the tables around us but I wasn't paying attention. I was lost in the moment with Draco as he kissed me and slipped the ring on my left hand. He gave me one more kiss before gesturing to my chair as a different waiter came over with our dessert. Once he set them down he refilled our champagne glasses as our waiter put a camera down on our table and congratulated us. We smiled and thanked him. We spent the rest of our time eating our dessert, sipping champagne and just enjoying each other's company. I could not stop staring at my ring. As it neared the time Esme was supposed to bring us to the airport, Draco paid the bill.
"It's time to head home Lady Malfoy." Draco said smiling and taking my hand. I put my leather jacket on and we headed outside where Esme was already waiting with Remus and Freddie. I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. I had just told Remus I was dating Draco, how was I going to tell him I was engaged to Draco.
"By the look on both your faces, I'm assuming she said yes?" Freddie said leaning against the car.
"You all knew?" I said shocked
"Of course we knew Starlight, Draco asked my permission the first night we were here. I am so happy for you Darling." Remus said pulling me into a hug and kissing my head. He pulled back and shook Draco's hand.
"Let me see the camera and we can take a few more photos before I drop you at the airport." Esme said, Draco handed her the camera and Remus pulled out one of his own. Draco led me over to the fountain outside the restaurant and while it wasn't running it was still lit up and beautifully covered in snow. We took some pictures before rushing off to the airport, making it by 6:30. Draco managed to get us upgraded to first class as we checked in for our flight and the people at the security check gave us odd looks, due to Draco and I's very formal outfits. Once we were through everything, I went into a bathroom, exchanging my heels for trainers and my dress for leggings and Draco's hoodie. Draco had changed out of his suit into jeans and his leather jacket. We boarded our flights, warning Fred no funny business before settling down for the ten hour flight back to London.
***AN***
AHHHH Violet and Draco are finally engaged! Next Up reuniting with Harry! How is Harry going to take the news that not only had Draco been with Violet for the last 4 months, but that they are not only dating but engaged? Please leave me reviews with your theories and any one shot suggestions. I am fully willing to write more one shots of their time in Forks and with Fred in Forks. Also why was Fred so uncomfortable with Jessica's advances? Let me know your thoughts!
