Disclaimer: DER DE DER DER!!! You know I don't own HP and its characters (although I do wish I owned Draco!!). And if I did would I be writing this stuff??? NO! I would be rolling in the dough so therefore all this pretty much belongs to J.K.R. (except Jessica!!).

Chapter 2-------

            I got up the next morning with a simple plan in mind. It was obvious because of our encounter earlier I wouldn't be his favorite person right now, so if I sucked up to him maybe I had a good chance of him believing I really liked him.

            I knew now that all the Slytherins would hate me after we became a "couple". But what about Draco? If he hated Potter that much would he be the same towards me? But it really doesn't matter. He didn't fit into this picture. He couldn't. Why was I thinking so much about him for? Shit Jesse! Concentrate on what's important! Concentrate.

            My first class was potions with Professor Snape, head of Slytherin house. Before class though I went to the hospital wing to get my daily anti-bloodthirst shot. Madam Pomfrey greeted me and led me to a chair where I sat down and waited. She then pulled out a syringe with a crimson coloured liquid that was too clear to be blood, but it resembled it quite nicely.

"This only hurt a little deary." Madam Pomfrey said.

"I know no pain." I said. She then gave me a look a parent gives a child when they are confused about their actions.  But it was true I felt no pain.

            The needle hit the nape of my neck and the liquid dispensed into my veins, sending an ecstasy throughout my body. My pupils dilated and suddenly I felt refreshed. Madam Pomfrey was frightened for a moment but returned to her normal state when I calmed down.

"Well that was shocking. At least we know what to expect from you now." she said. I raised my eyebrow at this and walked out.

            I rushed to Snape's class and made it just in time. To my surprise half of the class were Slytherins and the other half Gryffidor.  Potter was making this too easy for me.

            I took a seat two rows behind him. The room filled up and everyone took a seat. Minutes later a pale man with black hair appeared in classroom, this could be non other than Professor Snape.

            The scared bastard. He was once a Death Eater, such as myself. When Voldemort lost power, he ran to Dumbledore. When the Dark Lord rose again, he went after Snape. The next thing you know is that is under protective custody of the headmaster. I guess though, I had to give him props for what he did do in the past, and after all, he did hate Potter as much as we all did. 

"Good morning class." he said in a very dreadful tone. "Today we will be beginning more in depth potions…"

            I paid very little attention to anything he was saying. I was writing a note to Potter, when Snape's words caught my attention.

"Today we will be learning how to concoct precautionary potions towards vampires."

"What?" I whispered to myself. "That asshole!"

"Crow!" he said sharply. "Is there something you would like to say that make you think you're too good to pay attention to a valuable lesson, of course, not that you'll need it." he told me with a sinister stare. The class began to whisper but ceased when he looked up at them.

            I rolled my eyes and he turned. I took this opportunity to flip him off, which made the class now giggle. This made him turn immediately and then he gave me a cold stare. Not like that of Draco's, but a stare of disgust and anger.

            Speaking of Draco, it seems that I had failed to notice he wasn't in the classroom. Most likely he was either ditching, or at a Headboy/Headgirl meeting.

"Is there something wrong Professor?" I asked innocently.

"As I was saying, a garlic based brew wards off vampires for a while. You need two heads of garlic, one newt…" he began again.

This was total B.S. Garlic never warded off vampires. This was only an age-old myth made up by peasants. We were only vulnerable to the sun or major inflicted damage, but the chances were still pretty low of us dying that easily. Me being a half blood, I had a name, as well as all the other half bloods, Daywalkers.

            Snape continued with his useless lesson, and finally class got out. He requested that we write two rolls of parchment on vampires' weaknesses. Me, because I "interrupted" the class got two and a half. Ooooooh so scary!

            Potter and his "gang" had already exited the classroom. I packed my bag up rapidly and caught up with him.

"Potter! Hey Potter! Wait up!" I called.

            All three stopped and turned. I walked up to him and took a deep breath.

"What do you want?" Granger asked.

I ignored her and turned to Potter, "I need to talk to you. Please."

            Potter warded off his group and grabbed my arm walking me into a corner.

"What do you want?" he said.

"Look I just wanna apologize for yesterday. I really don't know what got into me. I'm adjusting and it's hard, ya know. I'm really sorry." I replied putting on a convincing act.

"Yeah I kinda do know. Anyways, apology accepted. You better get back to Draco or he'll start to suspect something." he said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Malfoy likes you, you know. He might think something is going on between the two of us."

            I was a bit shocked. Did Draco like me?

"Let him, because the person I really like is you Harry." I said.

            Potter was speechless. I then kissed him on the cheek and he smiled.

"I'll see you around." I finished walking away slowly.

            As I turned the corner I crashed straight in to Draco, but I didn't realize it right away.

"Oh my God! I'm sorry… Draco?" I began. "Hey you, where were you in Potions?"

"That doesn't matter… what with you and Potter?" Draco demanded.

"Nothing Draco." I said nonchalantly.

"Bullshit! What was that kiss for?" he said angrily.

"Were you spying on me Draco?" I asked now getting pissed.

"More like looking out for you!"

"That's the most lamest thing I've ever heard. I don't fucking need you to look out for me." I yelled.

"You listen Jesse, and you listen good, stay away from Potter." he told me.

"Or else…" I questioned.

"Or else you'll have me to deal with."

"Fuck Off!" I yelled and ran off.

            That asshole!!! Right now I was so pissed at him there were just no words to describe it. But in the end I had to realize that this was gonna happen. I just didn't want it to.

            Herbology was next and once again it was Gryffindor and Slytherin in one class. I walked into the Green Room and soon after Draco followed. I hadn't intended too, but right when Draco walked in he gave me a sneer, so I took the seat right next to Potter and acted as if I were having a blast being next to him.

"Jessica," Potter started, "I've been thinking about what you said…you know, about you liking me and all. Well I've been thinking and I think I like you too. So what do you say?"

"I say we're getting somewhere." I replied smiling.

"You wanna go to Hogsmeade this weekend?" he asked.

"I'd like that Harry…I'd love to go."

"Really? Great! Meet me in the Great Hall then on Saturday."

"Alright."

            And this is how it went. This is how Potter and me got "together". I was still pissed at Draco thinking that he owned me but something still drew me to him. Like a magnetic reaction. Of course he wanted nothing to do with me, now that I was dating Potter. Then again none of the Slytherin house wanted anything to do to me. All except my roomies. For everyone I was a disgrace, a traitor. But did I give a damn? As long as I knew what the rewards would be in the end I was fine with being taunted and ridiculed by my house. I really was.

            On another case I couldn't even begin to explain how sappy Potter was. I had him in my pocket. He would constantly spoil me with gifts and confectionaries just to say he loved me. I sorta felt sorry for him in a way. Actually making him believe that I loved him. His best friend Granger worried me too.

            After the months had passed I caught Potter and the Mudblood having an interesting conversation about our relationship. Trying to keep cover I crept into a dark corner and listened closely.

"Harry… how can you actually believe that she loves you? She walks all over you, you know that right." Granger said.

"Hermione you don't know what you're talking about. Jessica and I have a great relationship, and I'm sorry if it's hard to accept, but we're happy together." Potter replied.

"Harry, you know that I love you, and I just don't want to see get hurt. Just hear me out, ok. When was the last time she ever said that she loves you, huh Harry. Does she even kiss you anymore? I'm not the kind of person to get involved, but I just want you to be careful. There's something about her that's not right Harry." Granger said.

            Potter said nothing in reply, and I began to fear that maybe she had gotten through to him. What if he began to suspect things? I peeped my head out just a twinge to see what was going on. Granger gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked off.

            This now meant extreme measurements. I couldn't have him suspecting anything now. Not when the game was so close to the end. I had to do what I had to do. Simple as that.

            I walked out of my corner and greeted Potter as if I had just come out of class.

"Hey love…I've been thinking. You've been treating me to almost everything a girl could ask for. I feel bad that I haven't given you anything in return. Do you know of anyplace where we could be alone?" I asked innocently

"There are plenty of places, Jessica. The astronomy tower, the Quidditch field, the list is never ending you just take you're pick." he replied

            I began to inch closer to him until our bodies were pressed up against each other's. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered in his ear. " I need a place where we can be totally, utterly, alone." The next thing I did was almost unbearable, but nothing compared to what I had in mind. I stuck my tongue in his ear and then nipped at it. This seemed to get his attention right away.

            I pulled away just a little and smiled.

"Umm… th- there's the r- room of requirement." he stuttered.

"Perfect. Meet me there 10 pm sharp." I said and kissed him on the lips, something I would hardly do.

            I walked away slowly, switching my hips, and occasionally looking back. I walked back to the Slytherin common room. Bella was there…with Draco. There she was rested on his lap fooling around. Not that I was jealous or anything. I didn't care it was her life right.

"Hey Jessica!" Bella said.

"Hi Bella…Draco." I replied raising my eyebrow at him. He let out a breath and looked away. Sure I was still pretty angry with him but the silent treatment he was giving me was beginning to hurt me.

"I don't want to be interrupting anything so I'll be in the room."

"Are you sure? You're not interrupting anything, you know." she replied.

"Don't worry about it. I have some…umm…work to do."

"Alright."

            I walked up to my room that was thankfully empty. I searched through my trunk for something sexy and slinky. It seemed to be empty all except for a black laced thong and a red spaghetti strap top, both which I wore as pajamas. I slipped the two on and looked in the mirror. The piece seemed to be quite fitting and showed of all of my curves. I threw my robe over myself and began to do my make up. Same layout I did for every other day, dark eyeshadow, blood red lipstick, plum colored blush, and heavy black eyeliner. Right when the time came to leave, Anna Maria and Karina came in.

"Hello, Jess!" Anna yelled. "Good Lord, girl, isn't bloody late to be wearing you're robes! OH your earrings are so shiny! Like stars."

            I looked at her skeptically, and then Karina spoke.

"Hi Jessica. Don't pay any attention to Anna right now."  she said.

"What happened? She seems…drunk." I said.

"Drunk…no, no. Lets just say she has had a bit too much of the 'magical plant'. She got some from her boyfriend Blaise Zabini, you know. He seemed to have given her his whole stash."

"Oh my God. Well, lets get her quiet. If Snape finds out it will be our heads."

            Karina nodded her head, and together we shut Anna up. She fell asleep and I, realizing the time, left immediately after she crashed, without answering Karina's question of where I was going.

            I ran down the corridors and up the stairs only to find a waiting Harry Potter at the entrance of the Room of Requirement.

"You're here. I was beginning to think you stood me up." Potter said.

"I'm sorry, baby, but my roommate came in high and I had to help calm her down before Snape ever found out." I replied.

"All right, so why are we here?" he asked.

"Don't tell me you don't know? Well, you'll find out."

            I thought of something romantic and something lustful. As we entered the room there were candles all over the place and soft music playing. In the middle of the room was a bed and surrounding it were rose petals.

"Whoa." Potter whispered.

A smirk came to face and I took his hand and led him to the bed. He was wearing a white tank top, covered by a blue plaid shirt that was left open, and a pair of blue jeans. I removed his shirts, kissed him, sat down and pulled him down with me. Then I sat up again to remove my robes and when my top and underwear were revealed Potter just stared.

"What?" I asked playfully.

"You're gorgeous you know." he replied.

"Thanks…" I said and teased him with another kiss.

            I began to undo the belt of his jeans when a flash hit me and my conscious took over. I stepped away with a shocked look. I shook it off and went back but the same thing happened again. Potter looked worried and he came over to me.

"What's wrong, baby?" he asked.

"I don't know…I was fine earlier, but now…I don't know." I replied.

"Jessica, are you ready for this?"

"Yes…and no." I said.

            What was going on in my head, I don't even know. A part of me said go ahead, but another part of me said stop because this isn't how you would want this to be. Whatever that meant.

"Something's wrong Jess. What is it?" he asked.

"Alright, earlier when you were talking to Granger, Hermione, I over herd her say that I didn't love you enough. I didn't want that to be the case."

He hugged me and then said, "You don't have to sleep with me to let me know that you love me. Okay?"

"Yeah." I replied.

"C'mon, lets take you back to your room."

I nodded and followed. I had almost blown it. The sensitive sucker in him kinda made me feel that he wasn't tackle anymore, but a friend. We walked back to the common room and we said goodnight. I kissed him and walked inside.

            When I walked into the common room, there was a fire lit, which was strange because all lights were out after 9. I stepped closer, and saw the shadowed figure of Draco Malfoy sitting on the couch.

"Hello, Jesse."
