"How is she doing?" Jessica, Jackie's friend asked Freddie.
"She's fine, she just won't wake up, I'm beginning to lose hope," he said to her.
"Why isn't she waking up? I mean there has to be a antidote," Natalie said.
"Believe me, everyone is looking hard for one, we just haven't found one yet." Lily said.
"I'm beginning to worry about Snape, he doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, he either spends most of his time with Jackie, or in the library looking for an antidote," Jesse said, they all nodded, it was true. Everyone learned not to bother Snape if he was in the library or walking to the hospital wing. He would go stark raving mad, and no one wanted to bother him anymore, he looked sad, and always upset. Everyone knew that he blamed himself for what happened to Jackie.
Just then Gabby and Stephanie ran into The Great Hall. The looked for Freddie, Kristie, Lily, Becca, and Jesse, and ran to them.
"1 Bezor, 1 qt of Mandrake juice, and three wormwoods," they yelled. They all stared up at them, shocked and surprised.
"Wait a minute, why are we telling you?" Stephanie asked. They ran to the hospital wing, with everyone following them.
Snape was sitting with Jackie, he was holding her hand, and staring at her, as he usually did when he came to visit her. He was so upset with himself.
I can't believe I let that happen, I'm such an idiot, I should have been more careful with her, I shouldn't have done anything, I should have just kept my emotions...WHAT THE HELL?
Just then half of the school burst into the hospital wing.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOLE?" He asked, jumping to his feet, getting ready to take points off everyone.
"1 Bezor, 1 qt or Mandrake juice, and three Wormwoods," they all bellowed. Suddenly Snape smiled.
"THAT'S IT!" he yelled and ran from the hospital wing, and locked himself in the dungeons.
Three weeks later, Snape was walking to the hospital wing, no one knew that he had finished the potion, and he didn't want anyone to know yet.
He walked into the hospital wing and set the potion next to Jackie's bed. He gazed at her face, as Madam Pomfrey came into the room. He looked up at her.
"Is she still the same?" he asked, she nodded. He sighed. Soon Madam Pomfrey walked away, and he was alone with her once more.
Okay Jackie, let's try this.
He took in a deep breath and slow forced some of the potion down her throat, he could have sworn her eyes fluttered a bit, he quickly gave her some more, until the entire potion was gone. He sat and waited, hoping.
He heard a long sigh, and Jackie's eyes opened. She looked around, confused and dazed, the bright lights stinging her eyes.
What the hell is going on?
She tried to sit up, but she was dead tired, then everything came back to her. She quickly turned to her right, to see Severus sitting there gazing at her. She closed her eyes, thinking it was a dream, but when she felt his finger graze her cheek, she smiled, and opened her eyes again.
"Jackie, you're awake," Snape finally said.
"I was asleep?" she asked him.
"Yes," he replied pecking her lips. "Yes, you were asleep, but you're okay now. You're fine, and you're with me." He kissed her again. Jackie sat up and looked over at him.
"Severus, you're acting as if I died."
Snape suddenly looked at her seriously. "I thought you were. I walked in and saw you on the floor. My God Jackie, I thought I lost you forever."
Jackie looked at him seriously. She pondered for a moment.
"Severus, what happened?" she asked. He told her quickly, and she gasped when she found out about Voldemort. But he reassured her. At the end she smiled at him. "Well then, I guess I'm gonna have to thank a lot of people, especially you, for making the potion," Jackie said, bringing Snape closer to kiss him. Just before their lips met, Kristie came running in.
"Professor Snape, my aunt and uncle are here," she said, but she stopped dead when she saw Jackie sitting up.
"KRISTIE!" Jackie yelled out. "Kristie, you have to forgive me, I'm sorry I was being to so mean to you, do you forgive me?" Kristie was still in shock, from seeing Jackie awake, she quickly ran over to her.
"Oh you're such an idiot," Kristie said, hitting her on the head, then hugging her tightly. Then she hugged Professor Snape tightly as well. "Thank you so much Professor Snape, you did it!"
Kristie ran out of the hospital wing, and was back with about half the school two seconds later. Everyone poured in, hugging her, Snape, giving Jackie presents and wishing her good luck. Soon enough, Dumbledore walked into the hospital wing, and everyone made way for him and became silent.
"I'm glad that you're well Jackie, Severus, good job," he said. They both grinned.
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore," Jackie said. Dumbledore smiled.
"And, I have a surprise for you Jackie," he said, he stepped to the side and Jackie's smile grew.
"Mom! Dad!" Jackie yelled, they ran into her arms, hugging her tightly. Then her dad looked over at Snape.
"You saved her life, didn't you?" he asked. Snape nodded.
"But I had help," he said, winking at Kristie, Becca, Lily, Freddie, Jesse, Stephanie, Jessica, Christina, Rocio, and Gabby.
"Thank you," her dad said, shaking Snape's hand. Jackie smiled at Snape, who winked back at her.
