Okay, guys, I know thins is short, but I have a truly evil cliffhanger, so sorry, deal
with it. To my fellow Americans, a late Happy Thanksgiving to ya. What the heck,
Happy Thanksgiving to every one! YEAH! Oh, and Ya'll should thank my bestest, or
one of 'em at least, bud in da world, The Big Crazy Insano. That's her SN on here.
So, have fun! Oh yarn! I forgot, check out TASAKAPEOTKAUU's Secrets. It's good
if a bit confusing. It's a Harry Potter Outsiders crossover thingy. Yup. Oh, PLEASE
excuse any mistakes, though I'd appreciate it if you pointed them out so I could fix them.
I don't have time to go over this. Tanky.
Sunlight glared down from the ceiling of the great hall, nearly blinding everyone.
Jacy had been here nearly 2 months now, as it was now early December. Snow had
yet to fall; though the air was bitter cold.
Her reputation was a constant source of amusement to her uncle. And if she were
to be honest, herself. The different houses seemed to think she would favor her old
house, Gryffindor. A small smirk appeared on her lips. Wrong. She was equal
opportunity. If you stepped out of line, you got a detention. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw,
Slytherin, or Gryffindor.
"Prof. Quinn? What do you think?" Prof. Sprout interrupted her thoughts.
"Excuse me? I'm afraid I wasn't paying attention."
"That horrid Sirius Black should have been caught by now and given the
Demenetor's kiss."
Dumbledore, Lupin, Hagrid, and Snape tensed. They knew Sirius was here, (in fact
he was in his dog form at Lupin's feet, listening closely for her response.) and of her
history with him.
"No," Jacy said quite calmly, "I don't."
Sprout gasped. "After what he did?"
"Yes, I mean he did some truly awful things. Awfully brave. If I were you I'd get
my facts straight before I said something like that. Black could be an ass, but he
was innocent. Not many people know this, though it's a matter of public record," she
stood, " he was not only NOT the Potter's secret keeper, he saved many lives,
including mine in a rather abstract way." Jacy drained her glass. " Now if you'll
excuse me, I've lost my appetite. Good night."
The entire hall was silent. They had stopped what they were doing to listen to the
"fight" between Sprout and Jacy. Dumbledore clapped his hands. "Finish your
meals." He turned to his side where Snape was sitting. "Severus will you..."
"Of course." Snape stood and strode after her. She had headed outside. However,
as soon as he reached the bottom of the steps outside the entrance, a searing pain
in his left forearm caused him to stumble. Hearing a whimper, he looked up to see
Jacy standing in front of him holding her own arm and staring at him like a doe
caught in the headlights of a muggle car.
****************
Sirius couldn't believe it. He had to talk with Jacy. When he went to stand, Remus
put a hand on his back and shook his head. Growling, he tried to pull away, but
Remus wouldn't let him.
Finally the meal ended and Sirius made to look for Jacy, but once again, Remus
stopped him. "Snuffles Dumbledore told you were to stay with me tonight. Come
boy."
Sirius waited until the door to Remus' chambers was shut and (wizard) locked.
Then he transformed. "Why can't I go look for her?"
"Dumbledore just said we in this room tonight. He didn't say why." Remus sank
into one of the recliners in front of the fireplace.
"But I need to..."he was cut off by Dumbledore's head appearing in the fireplace.
"Sirius, Remus, I'm afraid I have some bad news. Both Severus and Jacy seem to
be missing." Sirius started towards the door. "No Sirius. You mustn't leave this room
tonight. I've a bad feeling."
Sirius sat harshly on he other recliner. "You can't expect me to just sit here."
"I know this is hard. I borrowed the," he coughed and for a split second a twinkle
flashed in his eyes. ", Marauders' Map from young Mr. Potter. They aren't on
Hogwarts' grounds."
***************
"Severus. Jacy straightened the only sign of the searing call a slight tightness
around her lips.
"Jacy." Distrust flashed in his eyes.
"Sev, I'm on your side. Now we need to get to the gate." She pulled her wand
from her robes. "Accio broom." Her Nimbus 200 cam zooming at her and Severus
thought that it would knock her over. Amazingly, she caught it easily.
"Climb on." With that they speed to the gate and apparated to Voldemort's side.
There, in a dark room, lit only by the flames flickering in the fireplace, the dark lord
was seated. "Severus, Jacy."
They spoke at the same time.
"My lord." Severus bowed deeply.
Jacy didn't move. "Father."
