A/N-Whoa! Sorry about the funky way that uploaded, but there's nothing' I can do about

it. My computer has decided to be a poo-head, and it's rather stubborn. By the way, I apologize. This chapter sucks... but I can't get it to work so.. here it is. So... Where is

this story leading? What other little twists could be a waiting in my head? Speaking of my

head, what's in there? I doubt brains.... Maybe an Evil Llama Empire...yeah...and the

llamas are making me write this story... they don't care that I have so many ideas

bouncing around in there I can't think. They like the ideas. It's their idea of snow. They

say they're pretty... but... wait... The multi-colored one and the indigo one are telling to

stop exposing their secrets and to get on with the bloody story...*bows* Yes my llama....

A/N-People... I need your help... there are these strange muggles dressed in white trying

to get my omnipotent butt into what looks like a white jacket... I resist and bite my thumb

at them! YEAH! By the way...I am quite crazy. Yup. *Evil deranged grin*


~Story~

The hospital wing was crowded with staff that had heard what had happened.

Snape had stumbled in through the main doors, carrying Jacy, who was unconscious.

There was a trail of blood drops from the doors to the infirmary. Both Severus' and

Jacy's clothes were soaked in blood.

Now, Jacy was awake and trying to fight of Madame Pomfrey, declaring that she

was fine and didn't need to be poked and bloody fucking prodded, least of all by her!

Madame Pomfrey looked up helplessly as Dumbledore entered. "Albus!"

Dumbledore clapped. "Everyone, I want you to leave, except Severus, and Remus.

Is Snuffles here?"

"Right over there Albus." Snuffles had his front paws on the edge of the bed. Jacy

stopped trying to fight off Madame Pomfrey and put her bloody hand on his head.

"Hey there boy."

Snuffles licked her hand and nudged Madame Pomfrey toward her.

"Jacy. I think perhaps it's time to tell us what happened." Dumbledore leaned

wearily against the bed next to hers.

"Albus... I can't... I'm not ready... And I doubt they'd understand." She

whispered. Remus looked hurt, Minerva shocked by her refusal, Snuffles growled and

jumped off the bed, and Snape's expression didn't change. Albus froze.

"Excuse me?"

"Albus, I promise I will explain. Please under..." Jacy broke into a fit of coughing,

and Albus backed off when she spat a little blood into a tissue.

Madame Pomfrey pulled a curtain around the bed and Jacy began swearing.

))))))))))))))*********(((((((((((((((((((((

"Remus." Sirius stood in front of the wet bar in Remus' chambers, swirling his beer in

the bottle. "What do you thinks going on? Who would beat her, or anyone like that?"

"I don't know. I hate this...not knowing. How someone could do that... There was so much

blood..." Remus closed his eyes and refilled his glass of Jack Daniels.

"Albus is her uncle you know. She never told us."

"We kept our own little secrets too. She doesn't know I'm a werewolf, or that the

Marauders became animagi..."

"Still.."

"Still nothing. I don't know what she's been through... but I know that she's mighty damn

strong for a woman who stands 5 foot 5 on her tiptoes. Most people would have rolled over and

died if they were hurt as badly as she was tonight and she..." He swallowed roughly.

"It's my turn to make rounds tonight." He set down his glass and nodded at Sirius.

After Remus had left, Sirius dropped down into the chair next to the fireplace and nursed

his drink. Thoughts of Jacy flitted through his mind. The first time he saw her... The night of

their first kiss... the night she left... the night he found out she was coming back to

Hogwarts...the night he saw her again for the first time after 15 years... Tonight. Sitting up

suddenly, he hurled his drink into the fireplace, watching calmly as the glass shattered and the

fire flared. Flames reflected eerily in his dark eyes.

Sirius came to a conclusion. Jacy may have hurt him... but she sure as hell shouldn't be

hurt like this. No one should.


))))))))))))))))))))***************(((((((((((((((((((((((((

Dumbledore sat at his desk, writing some unknown letter to some unknown person. Hearing a

knock on his door, he looked up. "Enter."

Jacy grimaced and limped into the room. "Albus, I wanted to apologize..."

"What are you doing out of bed?!" Albus stood and guided her into the nearest chair.

"And why would you want to apologize?"

"I didn't... tell. I know I should have..." She lowered her head, as if ashamed.

"Jacy... what happened tonight? What's wrong? It's been years since I've seen you like

this. Since the year after you left here."

"Albus...he wants me to kill him. Sirius."

"What? You..."

"Won't. I'd rather die. He... Albus, I still love him. It doesn't matter." Jacy stood,

strongly. "My father can do what he wishes... but if I have anything to do with it, he will never

harm another human being, or even animal after Christmas."

"How?" Dumbledore sat down in the chair behind his desk.

"You can't harm someone if you don't know how."
