Summary: What would happen if the daughter of Severus Snape and the daughter of Sirius Black met and became friends? And joined the golden trio! Run away!!
Chapter 1
Jessica Black walked into the great hall. Everyone was staring at her. She wished they'd stop. Of course everyone looked at her. She was the daughter of the infamous Sirius Black. Her great-great grandfather looked at her glowingly as she took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Now everyone was whispering about the new girl.
Jessica had been attending Evandale Witchcraft and Wizardry School in America. There she lived with her mother and half brother Johnny and her half sister Hannah. They were all attending Evandale but once their mother found out that Voldemort was back, she sent them away. Hannah and Johnny's uncle worked at the French Wizarding School and that's where they were sent. Jessica was sent to Hogwarts.
Her great-great grandfather Albus Dumbledore was the headmaster here. He had graciously let her stay here. She had no father and her grandfather was all she had besides her mother and siblings. For some reason her mother never wanted to talk about Jessica's father. She hoped now that she was here, the same school her father attended, she would now get insight about her father.
She could hear people whispering. All of them were saying, "who is she", "she surly can't be a first year", and "Boy does she look funny". Jessica noticed that people gasped when they found out she was Sirius Blacks' daughter. She sighed when she realized that this was Evandale all over again. She hated the attention she got because she had it for all the wrong reasons. Her father was an escaped and on the run supposed mass murderer while her mother was the great granddaughter of Dumbledore. Not because she was a brilliantly good witch.
It had taken her forever at Evandale for people to actually accept her as Jessica. Now she knew it would be much harder here due to the fact she had lived in America all this time and was now in her 6th year.
Professor Mgonagall followed by the first years entered the room. Jessica remembered the sorting hat. Her mother just left when Dumbledore brought out the sorting hat. He explained to her that she needed to be put in a house. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Gryffindor. She just hoped she would be put in the same house her father was in.
"Are you sure?" The hat asked her. She was frightened. She wondered if her grandfather had heard anything. His face remained as though transfixed on the hat.
"Yes. I see. Of course. It must be. That is how you will meet your life." Jessica was confused but didn't ask. It was just a stupid hat. "Gryffindor!" The hat said aloud.
"Good choice. I say it shall suit you well. You are what describes a true Gryffindor. And...." Dumbledore whispered softly, "it was the same house your father was in." Jessica had smirked.
At least one thing was going right for her. After the last first year was put in their house, her grandfather stood up and everyone fell silent.
"Welcome back everyone. We want to welcome our newest staff member Professor Adelie. He shall be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
Jessica noticed a man nod to indicate he was Professor Adelie. He was quite young and fairly handsome. He had green eyes with short brown hair. He only smirked and nodded to everything Dumbledore was saying.
"Now that Lord Voldemort is back, we advise everyone to stay away from the forbidden forest. Who knows what could be lurking out there? So enough of me talking. Let's eat."
Jessica's plate filled with food she loved. They could never do anything like this at Evandale. None of the teachers were skilled enough. She was constantly correcting her teachers. It was pathetic. Her teachers felt she had a knack for magic. She just thought her teachers were idiots.
Over on the other side of the Gryffindor table, she noticed a boy looking at her. He had glasses, shabby dark hair and green eyes. Then she noticed the lightning bolt scar. It was Harry Potter. He was looking right at her. It was making her uncomfortable, so she turned away from his gaze and started to talk to the person next to her.
* * * Hermione bumped Harry in the arm. "What are you looking at?" She asked.
"Nothing," Harry lied. "That girl. I wonder who she is. I've never seen her before."
A third year who overheard their conversation. "That's Sirius Blacks daughter. Her name is Jessica Black. Also she's Dumbledore great-great granddaughter." Harry's eyes widened. Sirius had a daughter! Why had he never said anything?
"She must have attended a less popular school. It is an American school called Evandale. It has high recommendations. One of the best schools in the world. I wanted to go there but my parents wouldn't let me leave the country," Hermione said.
Harry couldn't keep his eyes off of Jessica Black. Now that he truly looked at her, he could tell that they were related. She had dark hair like Sirius, and the eyes held the same playful glow when they laughed.
"I think she's cute," said Ron after he finished a bite full of food.
"All you can say about her is 'she's cute'?" Hermione said looking disgusted.
"Are you jealous Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Of her? No of course not. Of a Black. I'm sure..."
"Who the hell is that?" Ron said nearly spitting out his food. * * * Next to Jessica sat down Jade. She had met Jade over the summer. They both had been sorted the same day. She had remembered Jade only because she had been almost an hour late. Professor Mgonagall wasn't too happy about it.
(Flashback) "Where were you?"
"I got lost. Some nice boy by the name of Eric or Rick or something like that helped me. We got around the bathrooms and then..." Jade began.
"I don't want to hear it. Just make sure you remember which house your in." Mgonagall said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." That's when Jade noticed Jessica. "Wow you have really pretty eyes," she told her.
Jade had caught Jessica off guard and all she could say was, "Uh, you're really tall?" which was stated more as a question than a complement.
"I get that all the time. By the way, what's your name?" Jade said.
"Jessica...uh...uh...er...Black," She said softly.
"Are you related to Sirius Black?" Jessica nodded sadly. "Cool. I wish my dad was a mass murderer."
"My father was innocent!" Jessica said defensively.
"I'm sorry. It's just that...well, my dad's a teacher. A lousy stinking teacher. Here of all places! Oh yeah. My name is Jade."
Jessica waited for her to finish but she never did.
(End of flashback)
Jade was now talking to Jessica again. Jade was the only person Jessica trusted right now. She still wanted to know Jade's last name.
"So what do you think of those two boys over there?" Jade said. It was Harry Potter and a red haired boy. "I think they're both really cute. Well, at least Potter is anyway," Jade said.
"The red-haired one is cuter," Jessica said. "That's a Weasley. You can tell by the red hair and the freckles. His brothers are much cuter."
At that moment, Professor Sprout walked by and said, "I will be honored to have you both in my class Miss Black and Miss Snape."
Jade's face went pale. Jessica saw her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jade looked at her confused and said, "Didn't you hear my last name? Snape? As in the daughter of the evilest teacher at Hogwarts. You know, potions teacher?"
Jessica shook her head no. "Well now you know my name is Jade Snape."
She had said the last few words a little too loudly. Everyone at the table had stopped eating and were now staring at Jessica and Jade. Even Harry Hermione and Ron were staring with mouths wide open.
"She's...SNAPES! Harry said.
"He must have put some spell on her mother, or raped her or something. No sane woman would want to sleep with that!" Ron said tilting his head toward Snape who was now glaring at his daughter.
"You heard me. I'm Snape's beautiful daughter! And he's the best father in the whole world.
Snape stood up and pointed his finger at her and cried out, "She's not my daughter. She's, uh, my aunt!"
"Come on daddy. You know you love me," Jade said.
Snape sighed. "Who am I kidding. She's my daughter. What? Why are you all staring at me like that? I had a social life! Everyone go back to your dormitories!" Snape said.
Ron and Harry were still frozen still with their mouths wide open. Snape had a kid. And she is cute.
"How? Who? Is this some weird joke? I hope so," Harry said.
"She called him 'daddy'. The only person I though I'd ever see call him daddy would be Malfoy," Ron added.
"Come on you guys, its not that amazing. You can't expect Snape to have a normal life outside Hogwarts," Hermione protested.
"Yeah, but he's Snape. He's evil. He can't have a personal life. And kids." Harry and Ron both shuddered.
"Come on you guys, we have to get to the common room with the others. Then maybe we can talk with 'Miss Snape' and 'Miss Black'," Hermione said.
* * * Jade was furious. Jessica could tell.
"That little! I wanted to keep my name secret. I don't want to be taunted by them. I know how nasty my father can be. Especially to Harry and his friends. But now ugh!" Jade said as they climbed through the portrait hole.
Jade and Jessica walked into the room they were told was their. Again Hermiones' mouth dropped open when she saw her and Ginny's new roommates.
"Hey, I'm Jessie Black," Jessica said with a wave.
"And I am the all powerful Jade Snape. Yes. I am the evil Professor Snapes' beautiful and sexy daughter. Be mesmerized by my beautiful dark non-greasy hair and green eyes. Not all of you at once should say that I'm beautiful at once."
The others looked at Jade with 'you got to be kidding' written all over their face.
Jessica rolled her eyes. "You're so full of yourself Jade. Geez. No wonder why I' the only one who can stand you. You're hated because you're conceited and your father's hated because he's evil."
"Yeah, so. What's your point?" Jade asked.
"Don't think I have one."
Ginny whispered to Hermione, "Americans. They sure are a funny lot." Hermione nodded in agreement. Jessica had taken the closest bed to the window and Jade had hers beside it.
"So, what brings you to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked Jessica.
"Well, as you probably know Dumbledore is my grandfather. After Voldemort reports came, my mom decided to send us to safe places. Evandale wasn't one of them. My half-siblings were sent to the French School where their uncle is a teacher. My mother s scared for me because of my past. Dumbledore's great-granddaughter in all. But his place is much better than Evandale."
Hermione liked Jessica Black already. So much more easy going than Jade. Not as conceited either. "And you?" Ginny asked Jade.
"It's horrible! My mother, she abandoned me to live with my father over the summer. She said she just couldn't take it anymore. So I was brought here. And my father was so shocked. He cried and everything after I told him I was going to live with him from now on. I couldn't tell if he was happy or sad."
"Probably sad that you hadn't died," Jessica said.
"Shut up. You don't know anything. You never had a father." Jade said.
"I couldn't help that. Why don't you go find someone to screw you wannabe French whore!" Jessica said.
"What! My French accent is authentic!" Jade said.
"You live in France for what, a month?" Jessica asked.
"2 months." (A/N: She actually lived there most of her life.)
"So. At least my dad was good looking."
Hermione and Ginny weren't sure whether to stop them or not. It was quite interesting to listen to them insult each other.
"So. Well...uh...my dad is alive."
"Oh so what. I'm going to sleep." Without changing her clothes, Jessica got into bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
* * * Harry couldn't sleep. Jessica Black was still in his mind. He wanted to know her badly. He wondered if Ron was asleep already. He listened for a moment. All he could hear was the slow breathing of Dean and Seamus and their other roommates. Ron must still be awake.
"Ron." There came no answer. "I know you're awake."
"What do you want! I was trying to sleep."
"Sorry. It's just, what do you think of Jessica and Jade?"
"Sirius's daughter and Snapes' monster? Jade would be a lot more attractive if Snape wasn't her father. But Jessica, wow. Blimy she's gorgeous."
Harry thought the same thing about Jessica, but didn't say anything. Ron didn't have a girl, but Harry did have Cho. He had to admit though, Jade was a lot prettier than Cho. Jessica was about as or prettier than Jade.
Do ya think if I ask her to be my girl she'd say yes?" Ron asked. Harry's heart sank. He wanted Jessica to be his. Not Ron's but hen again, he did have Cho. 'Damn' he cursed himself. It was the first time since he'd laid eyed on Cho that he'd ever regretted kissing her let alone being her boyfriend.
"I don't know Ron. You really don't have a way with the ladies."
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
"Well most girls you come in contact with you either fight with them, call them batty, or tell them they are ugly. I can tell you Ron, that's not how you get a girlfriend."
"Is it because you like Jessica?" Harry blushed. He was glad there was a curtain to his red face from Ron.
"No. It's just. Well, she's Sirius's kid. The last thing I have left of Sirius. My last reminder f the great Godfather I had."
"I think you have the hots for her."
"That's what you said about Professor Mgonagall, Hermione, Ginny, and Malfoy." Both boys shivered.
"Well you and Malfoy fight so much you two could be married."
Harry wanted to hit Ron very hard. It was wrong to think that if were gay he'd be with Malfoy. Malfoy would be the last person on earth that he would choose to be his gay lover. He would go to Hagrid before Malfoy.
"This conversation can wait until tomorrow. Night Ron."
"I won't be able to sleep now. I got disturbing images of you and Malfoy making out stuck in my head."
"It's our own fault for bringing up thee fact that you thought I was gay with Malfoy. Now good night Ron." Harry turned on his side and fell asleep instantly.
* * * Jessica, Jade, Hermione and Ginny came into the common room just as Harry and Ron did.
"Harry, Ron! You now Jessica Black and Jade Snape." Hermione said gesturing to them both.
Harry's heart was racing. Jade and Jessica both looked beautiful. He hoped neither of them noticed him staring at them.
"I'm starving. Let's go eat." Jade said.
Harry wanted to stand next to Jessica but Ron took her left side and Jade was already on her right. He was stuck walking in between Jade and Hermione. Listening all the while and Ron tried, unsuccessfully to hit on Jessica all the way to the dining hall.
The dining hall was loud. But when Jade and Jessica walked in, it became quiet. As the small group walked in and down to the Gryffindor table, people began to whisper. Both Harry and Jessica hated it. Especially people calling Jade a freak. Only because she was Snapes' daughter. Harry didn't think Jade heard them for she was too busy talking to Hermione about something. Harry turned toward where Jessica was sitting.
She was weather looking at him or Ron. He looked right at her and her gaze didn't leave. She must have been looking at Ron. Again he got a sick feeling in his stomach. Maybe Jessica did like Ron. What did she see in him? 'The scarecrow, carrot haired freckled face idiot'. Harry thought to himself. Jealousy. Now he knew how Ron felt that he had gotten all the attention that he didn't want. But the one person he couldn't get attention from was the one he wanted the most attention from.
"Harry! Your schedule." Jade said passing it to him.
"Sorry." Harry said.
"No need." Jade sad smiling at him.
Jade was nothing like her father. If you minus the fact that she was Snapes' daughter she was actually prettier than Jessica. (Even though we all know she is just as pretty as Jessica is. Cough, cough.) "Oh. That's not fair. I have double potions on Friday afternoons." Jessica said.
Harry looked down on his schedule. He too had Double potions on Friday afternoons. Nobody else had that class with Jessica, or at least no one said anything.
"So, when do you have potions Harry?" Jessica asked.
Harry sat there stunned. Jessica was talking to him. "Uh, Friday afternoons."
"Cool. At least someone is in my class." Jessica said with a smile.
"Why are you so disappointed to have my dad on Fridays? He's not that bad."
"Compared to what? A dragon?" Ron said. Jade glared at him and went back to eating.
Harry still hadn't looked at his whole schedule yet. Mondays and Fridays potions. What a jip. Four hours a week being stuck in Snapes' class.
"So Harry. What's your first class today?" Jessica asked smiling sweetly at him.
He looked down. "Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Hermione, Ron, Jade, and Jessica all said me too.
"He's so hot!" Jade said.
"Who?" Jessica asked.
"Professor Adelie." Ginny, Hermione, Jessica, and Jade all sighed. "He is. I think I'm going to like that class very much." Jade said with a very dreamy look in her eye.
"That's probably going to be your only motivation to going to that class and getting a good grade. Just like the only reason why you ever wanted to go home was so you could see your step-father." Jessica said.
"Hey my step-father is hott."
"That's because he's Vincent Perez. Even I think he's hot." Jessica said.
"And your step-dad isn't."
"I don't care. Just make sure you don't walk in on Professor Adelie while he's taking a shower." Both Jade and Jessica bust our laughing with Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny all staring at them. The bell rang and reluctantly they all left to go to their first class.
"Bye Ginny." The girls waved as Ginny went off to her history class. Dumbledore came out of his office and looked at Jessica.
"Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione, Jade. Jessie, I need to talk to you."
"What's wrong?" Jessica sadi with fright in her face.
"Come with me." Dumbledore pulled Jessie into his office and the others went off the class.
"I wonder what's wrong," Jade said looking about as frightened as Jessica did.
* * * "Jess. Your mother has gone missing." Dumbledore said.
"What?! When?"
"Last night. Your step-father-"
"Probably killed her."
"No. I'm afraid not. He was found dead. They found there had been a struggle. I think Voldemort is reclaiming his Death Eaters."
"That's why she sent us away. Just in case. Are Hannah and Johnny okay?"
"I haven't told them yet. But I sent them an owl. They should know by tomorrow."
"I'm scared. She's all I have left." Jessica began to cry. "She hoped she could get us away from all of this!"
Dumbldore wrapped his arms tightly around his granddaughter. Jessica had always loved the smell of her grandfather. Always like lemon drops.
"We'll find your mother before it's too late, I promise." Jessica wanted to believe her great-grandfather but something deep down inside her heart said otherwise.
At lunch Jade was still wondering where Jessica was. Jessica didn't even show up for Herbology. Jessica wanted to be alone. 'This was exactly what I needed. I don't need a death eater for a mother. It's bad enough my father was Sirius Black.' She began to cry all over again. This was all Lord Voldemort's fault.
Her father wouldn't be dead and her mother wouldn't be a death eater. A lot of people wouldn't be dead if t weren't for him. A surge of anger overcame Jessica. Stupidly, she punched the wall next to her and felt pain as her fist came into contact with the stone wall. Another thing to blame Voldemort for.
As she rubbed the red marks on her fist she heard footsteps. They were light and quick of an old woman. Professor Mgonagall came into the bathroom that Jessica had run off to after he grandfather told her the news.
"Miss Black. Why aren't you in class?"
"I had to pee." Jessica said pulling her knees up to her chest.
"On the bathroom floor?"
"Yes. I'm magical, remember."
"Jessica. Please don't be cocky with me. Miss Black, why are you not in class?"
"Family problem."
"You still need to be in class."
"Please Professor. Don't make me go! I can't I don't want them to think that I'm a freak!" Jessica began to cry again.
Professor Mgonagall was at a loss for words. The only thing she could think of was send Jessica to potions.
"Come on now Miss Black. I'll walk you to class. What do you have now?"
"Potions. We're going to the dungeons aren't we?"
"Yes."
"I can't. I'm afraid of underground spaces. I was attacked by a ground hog when I was 4."
"Miss Black, do you really expect me to believe that?"
"No. Not really," Jessica said pouting.
Professor Mgonagall knocked on Snapes' door and he looked very irritated when they walked in.
"She had a little business with Dumbledore."
"Oh great another ungrateful brat...Oh Jessica. You can sit next to Potter. That's if it's all right with you?" Snape said sarcastically.
"Yes." Jessica sat down next to Harry with a little wiggle of her skirt.
"I thought I'd never see a Black and Potter in my class again and together." Snape said.
"We ain't lovers Severus. I mean Professor Snape." Snape glared at her and sniggers were heard from the Slytherin side.
Harry knew how much guts she had. A lot! She called Snape by his first name.
"Harry, can you lend me the notes from class?"
"Uhh. Yeah. Sure." Jessica read the board. They were making some antidote for fire burns. Expedium. Jessica aced potions making. Everyone watched in amazement as Jessica was the only one who had gotten theirs completely finished Snape scowled as he could find nothing wrong with Jessica's brew. Snape got to Harry's brew and smiled. Jessica looked over and instead of it being a clear silvery liquid, it was green.
"Potter? Do you know why I am speaking to you directly?"
Harry looked around to the other cauldrons. His and Neville's were the only ones that were green.
"Do you know why yours is different"
"No Sir"
"You forgot to add the Windem slowly and let it boil for 5 minutes."
"Oh. Well you know sir..."
"Do not speak to me in that tone Mr. Potter. 5 points from Gryffindor! Alright flask your brew and bring it up to my desk."
Jessica was furious. How could Jade call this man daddy? But being Dumbledore's great-granddaughter had its perks. As she walked up to the desk, she handed Snape her flask and whispered
"You don't want the promotion do you?"
Jessica smiled and walked back to her seat. Harry was shocked Snape's face had turned white. As Harry walked up to the desk Snape looked very irritated.
"Oh by the way Potter, 5 points will be awarded to Gryffindor."
Harry walked back to his desk confused. There was a smile across Jessica's face.
"What did you say to him?" Harry asked.
"Oh nothing that grandfather can't fix."
The bell rang and thankfully it was last of their classes. Harry and Jessica walked back to the common room.
"Why were you late?"
"I had to pee."
"It took you a half an hour to go to the bathroom," Harry asked.
"Also I'm afraid of underground spaces. I was attacked by a groundhog when I was 4.
"Professor Mcgongual didn't believe you did she?"
"Not the slightest."
Both Harry and Jessica laughed. Harry knew now that Jessica and he were destined to be friends. With their fathers being best friends made their destiny truer. All Harry hoped that Jessica would look beyond that and would someday that Jessica would consider them more than friends.
"Jessica! Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!" Jade yelled.
"Well you didn't look in the obvious place." Jessica replied.
Jade looked confused.
"The bathroom! I was in the girl's bathroom, Jade. And I'm sure you were checking the boy's bathroom with some boy."
"His name was Dean and how would I be able to see you if—never mind."
"I can't tell you here. Can we go into our room?"
"Yeah."
"Bye Hermonie, Ron, Ginny. It was great talking to you Harry. And I don't think Snape will be giving you anymore trouble."
With that said Jessica waved and bounded up the stairs with Jade.
"I was hoping I would be able to sit next to her in Herbology class. But she never showed up."
"Ron, don't tell me you think she'll be your girlfriend." Hermonie said as she did her homework.
"Do you think I have a chance with her, Harry?"
"Sure. Ron." 'Yeah just as much as the chance Snape would actually wash his greasy hair' Harry thought.
"So do you guys think I have a chance with her." Neither Harry or Hermonie spoke.
"Well I don't care what you two think, I won't leave her alone until she says yes." Ron stormed off.
"Wow. He's sickly in love with Jessica"
"Yeah I know, it's actually quite sad." Harry said. 'Besides I have an advantage. I'm her friend. Poor Ron I've already won her over.' Harry added as an after thought.
"See you later Hermonie." Harry said going up to his room so he could talk to Ron.

Chapter 1
Jessica Black walked into the great hall. Everyone was staring at her. She wished they'd stop. Of course everyone looked at her. She was the daughter of the infamous Sirius Black. Her great-great grandfather looked at her glowingly as she took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Now everyone was whispering about the new girl.
Jessica had been attending Evandale Witchcraft and Wizardry School in America. There she lived with her mother and half brother Johnny and her half sister Hannah. They were all attending Evandale but once their mother found out that Voldemort was back, she sent them away. Hannah and Johnny's uncle worked at the French Wizarding School and that's where they were sent. Jessica was sent to Hogwarts.
Her great-great grandfather Albus Dumbledore was the headmaster here. He had graciously let her stay here. She had no father and her grandfather was all she had besides her mother and siblings. For some reason her mother never wanted to talk about Jessica's father. She hoped now that she was here, the same school her father attended, she would now get insight about her father.
She could hear people whispering. All of them were saying, "who is she", "she surly can't be a first year", and "Boy does she look funny". Jessica noticed that people gasped when they found out she was Sirius Blacks' daughter. She sighed when she realized that this was Evandale all over again. She hated the attention she got because she had it for all the wrong reasons. Her father was an escaped and on the run supposed mass murderer while her mother was the great granddaughter of Dumbledore. Not because she was a brilliantly good witch.

Professor Mgonagall followed by the first years entered the room. Jessica remembered the sorting hat. Her mother just left when Dumbledore brought out the sorting hat. He explained to her that she needed to be put in a house. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Gryffindor. She just hoped she would be put in the same house her father was in.
"Are you sure?" The hat asked her. She was frightened. She wondered if her grandfather had heard anything. His face remained as though transfixed on the hat.

"Now that Lord Voldemort is back, we advise everyone to stay away from the forbidden forest. Who knows what could be lurking out there? So enough of me talking. Let's eat."
Jessica's plate filled with food she loved. They could never do anything like this at Evandale. None of the teachers were skilled enough. She was constantly correcting her teachers. It was pathetic. Her teachers felt she had a knack for magic. She just thought her teachers were idiots.
Over on the other side of the Gryffindor table, she noticed a boy looking at her. He had glasses, shabby dark hair and green eyes. Then she noticed the lightning bolt scar. It was Harry Potter. He was looking right at her. It was making her uncomfortable, so she turned away from his gaze and started to talk to the person next to her.
* * * Hermione bumped Harry in the arm. "What are you looking at?" She asked.

(Flashback) "Where were you?"
"I got lost. Some nice boy by the name of Eric or Rick or something like that helped me. We got around the bathrooms and then..." Jade began.
"I don't want to hear it. Just make sure you remember which house your in." Mgonagall said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." That's when Jade noticed Jessica. "Wow you have really pretty eyes," she told her.
Jade had caught Jessica off guard and all she could say was, "Uh, you're really tall?" which was stated more as a question than a complement.
"I get that all the time. By the way, what's your name?" Jade said.
"Jessica...uh...uh...er...Black," She said softly.
"Are you related to Sirius Black?" Jessica nodded sadly. "Cool. I wish my dad was a mass murderer."
"My father was innocent!" Jessica said defensively.
"I'm sorry. It's just that...well, my dad's a teacher. A lousy stinking teacher. Here of all places! Oh yeah. My name is Jade."
Jessica waited for her to finish but she never did.
(End of flashback)
Jade was now talking to Jessica again. Jade was the only person Jessica trusted right now. She still wanted to know Jade's last name.
"So what do you think of those two boys over there?" Jade said. It was Harry Potter and a red haired boy. "I think they're both really cute. Well, at least Potter is anyway," Jade said.
"The red-haired one is cuter," Jessica said. "That's a Weasley. You can tell by the red hair and the freckles. His brothers are much cuter."
At that moment, Professor Sprout walked by and said, "I will be honored to have you both in my class Miss Black and Miss Snape."
Jade's face went pale. Jessica saw her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jade looked at her confused and said, "Didn't you hear my last name? Snape? As in the daughter of the evilest teacher at Hogwarts. You know, potions teacher?"
Jessica shook her head no. "Well now you know my name is Jade Snape."
She had said the last few words a little too loudly. Everyone at the table had stopped eating and were now staring at Jessica and Jade. Even Harry Hermione and Ron were staring with mouths wide open.
"She's...SNAPES! Harry said.
"He must have put some spell on her mother, or raped her or something. No sane woman would want to sleep with that!" Ron said tilting his head toward Snape who was now glaring at his daughter.
"You heard me. I'm Snape's beautiful daughter! And he's the best father in the whole world.
Snape stood up and pointed his finger at her and cried out, "She's not my daughter. She's, uh, my aunt!"
"Come on daddy. You know you love me," Jade said.
Snape sighed. "Who am I kidding. She's my daughter. What? Why are you all staring at me like that? I had a social life! Everyone go back to your dormitories!" Snape said.
Ron and Harry were still frozen still with their mouths wide open. Snape had a kid. And she is cute.
"How? Who? Is this some weird joke? I hope so," Harry said.
"She called him 'daddy'. The only person I though I'd ever see call him daddy would be Malfoy," Ron added.
"Come on you guys, its not that amazing. You can't expect Snape to have a normal life outside Hogwarts," Hermione protested.
"Yeah, but he's Snape. He's evil. He can't have a personal life. And kids." Harry and Ron both shuddered.
"Come on you guys, we have to get to the common room with the others. Then maybe we can talk with 'Miss Snape' and 'Miss Black'," Hermione said.
* * * Jade was furious. Jessica could tell.
"That little! I wanted to keep my name secret. I don't want to be taunted by them. I know how nasty my father can be. Especially to Harry and his friends. But now ugh!" Jade said as they climbed through the portrait hole.
Jade and Jessica walked into the room they were told was their. Again Hermiones' mouth dropped open when she saw her and Ginny's new roommates.
"Hey, I'm Jessie Black," Jessica said with a wave.
"And I am the all powerful Jade Snape. Yes. I am the evil Professor Snapes' beautiful and sexy daughter. Be mesmerized by my beautiful dark non-greasy hair and green eyes. Not all of you at once should say that I'm beautiful at once."
The others looked at Jade with 'you got to be kidding' written all over their face.
Jessica rolled her eyes. "You're so full of yourself Jade. Geez. No wonder why I' the only one who can stand you. You're hated because you're conceited and your father's hated because he's evil."
"Yeah, so. What's your point?" Jade asked.
"Don't think I have one."
Ginny whispered to Hermione, "Americans. They sure are a funny lot." Hermione nodded in agreement. Jessica had taken the closest bed to the window and Jade had hers beside it.
"So, what brings you to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked Jessica.
"Well, as you probably know Dumbledore is my grandfather. After Voldemort reports came, my mom decided to send us to safe places. Evandale wasn't one of them. My half-siblings were sent to the French School where their uncle is a teacher. My mother s scared for me because of my past. Dumbledore's great-granddaughter in all. But his place is much better than Evandale."
Hermione liked Jessica Black already. So much more easy going than Jade. Not as conceited either. "And you?" Ginny asked Jade.
"It's horrible! My mother, she abandoned me to live with my father over the summer. She said she just couldn't take it anymore. So I was brought here. And my father was so shocked. He cried and everything after I told him I was going to live with him from now on. I couldn't tell if he was happy or sad."
"Probably sad that you hadn't died," Jessica said.
"Shut up. You don't know anything. You never had a father." Jade said.
"I couldn't help that. Why don't you go find someone to screw you wannabe French whore!" Jessica said.
"What! My French accent is authentic!" Jade said.
"You live in France for what, a month?" Jessica asked.
"2 months." (A/N: She actually lived there most of her life.)
"So. At least my dad was good looking."
Hermione and Ginny weren't sure whether to stop them or not. It was quite interesting to listen to them insult each other.
"So. Well...uh...my dad is alive."
"Oh so what. I'm going to sleep." Without changing her clothes, Jessica got into bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
* * * Harry couldn't sleep. Jessica Black was still in his mind. He wanted to know her badly. He wondered if Ron was asleep already. He listened for a moment. All he could hear was the slow breathing of Dean and Seamus and their other roommates. Ron must still be awake.
"Ron." There came no answer. "I know you're awake."
"What do you want! I was trying to sleep."
"Sorry. It's just, what do you think of Jessica and Jade?"
"Sirius's daughter and Snapes' monster? Jade would be a lot more attractive if Snape wasn't her father. But Jessica, wow. Blimy she's gorgeous."
Harry thought the same thing about Jessica, but didn't say anything. Ron didn't have a girl, but Harry did have Cho. He had to admit though, Jade was a lot prettier than Cho. Jessica was about as or prettier than Jade.
Do ya think if I ask her to be my girl she'd say yes?" Ron asked. Harry's heart sank. He wanted Jessica to be his. Not Ron's but hen again, he did have Cho. 'Damn' he cursed himself. It was the first time since he'd laid eyed on Cho that he'd ever regretted kissing her let alone being her boyfriend.
"I don't know Ron. You really don't have a way with the ladies."
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
"Well most girls you come in contact with you either fight with them, call them batty, or tell them they are ugly. I can tell you Ron, that's not how you get a girlfriend."
"Is it because you like Jessica?" Harry blushed. He was glad there was a curtain to his red face from Ron.
"No. It's just. Well, she's Sirius's kid. The last thing I have left of Sirius. My last reminder f the great Godfather I had."
"I think you have the hots for her."
"That's what you said about Professor Mgonagall, Hermione, Ginny, and Malfoy." Both boys shivered.
"Well you and Malfoy fight so much you two could be married."
Harry wanted to hit Ron very hard. It was wrong to think that if were gay he'd be with Malfoy. Malfoy would be the last person on earth that he would choose to be his gay lover. He would go to Hagrid before Malfoy.
"This conversation can wait until tomorrow. Night Ron."
"I won't be able to sleep now. I got disturbing images of you and Malfoy making out stuck in my head."
"It's our own fault for bringing up thee fact that you thought I was gay with Malfoy. Now good night Ron." Harry turned on his side and fell asleep instantly.
* * * Jessica, Jade, Hermione and Ginny came into the common room just as Harry and Ron did.
"Harry, Ron! You now Jessica Black and Jade Snape." Hermione said gesturing to them both.
Harry's heart was racing. Jade and Jessica both looked beautiful. He hoped neither of them noticed him staring at them.
"I'm starving. Let's go eat." Jade said.
Harry wanted to stand next to Jessica but Ron took her left side and Jade was already on her right. He was stuck walking in between Jade and Hermione. Listening all the while and Ron tried, unsuccessfully to hit on Jessica all the way to the dining hall.
The dining hall was loud. But when Jade and Jessica walked in, it became quiet. As the small group walked in and down to the Gryffindor table, people began to whisper. Both Harry and Jessica hated it. Especially people calling Jade a freak. Only because she was Snapes' daughter. Harry didn't think Jade heard them for she was too busy talking to Hermione about something. Harry turned toward where Jessica was sitting.
She was weather looking at him or Ron. He looked right at her and her gaze didn't leave. She must have been looking at Ron. Again he got a sick feeling in his stomach. Maybe Jessica did like Ron. What did she see in him? 'The scarecrow, carrot haired freckled face idiot'. Harry thought to himself. Jealousy. Now he knew how Ron felt that he had gotten all the attention that he didn't want. But the one person he couldn't get attention from was the one he wanted the most attention from.
"Harry! Your schedule." Jade said passing it to him.
"Sorry." Harry said.
"No need." Jade sad smiling at him.
Jade was nothing like her father. If you minus the fact that she was Snapes' daughter she was actually prettier than Jessica. (Even though we all know she is just as pretty as Jessica is. Cough, cough.) "Oh. That's not fair. I have double potions on Friday afternoons." Jessica said.
Harry looked down on his schedule. He too had Double potions on Friday afternoons. Nobody else had that class with Jessica, or at least no one said anything.
"So, when do you have potions Harry?" Jessica asked.
Harry sat there stunned. Jessica was talking to him. "Uh, Friday afternoons."
"Cool. At least someone is in my class." Jessica said with a smile.
"Why are you so disappointed to have my dad on Fridays? He's not that bad."
"Compared to what? A dragon?" Ron said. Jade glared at him and went back to eating.
Harry still hadn't looked at his whole schedule yet. Mondays and Fridays potions. What a jip. Four hours a week being stuck in Snapes' class.
"So Harry. What's your first class today?" Jessica asked smiling sweetly at him.
He looked down. "Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Hermione, Ron, Jade, and Jessica all said me too.
"He's so hot!" Jade said.
"Who?" Jessica asked.
"Professor Adelie." Ginny, Hermione, Jessica, and Jade all sighed. "He is. I think I'm going to like that class very much." Jade said with a very dreamy look in her eye.
"That's probably going to be your only motivation to going to that class and getting a good grade. Just like the only reason why you ever wanted to go home was so you could see your step-father." Jessica said.
"Hey my step-father is hott."
"That's because he's Vincent Perez. Even I think he's hot." Jessica said.
"And your step-dad isn't."
"I don't care. Just make sure you don't walk in on Professor Adelie while he's taking a shower." Both Jade and Jessica bust our laughing with Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny all staring at them. The bell rang and reluctantly they all left to go to their first class.
"Bye Ginny." The girls waved as Ginny went off to her history class. Dumbledore came out of his office and looked at Jessica.
"Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione, Jade. Jessie, I need to talk to you."
"What's wrong?" Jessica sadi with fright in her face.
"Come with me." Dumbledore pulled Jessie into his office and the others went off the class.
"I wonder what's wrong," Jade said looking about as frightened as Jessica did.
* * * "Jess. Your mother has gone missing." Dumbledore said.
"What?! When?"
"Last night. Your step-father-"
"Probably killed her."
"No. I'm afraid not. He was found dead. They found there had been a struggle. I think Voldemort is reclaiming his Death Eaters."
"That's why she sent us away. Just in case. Are Hannah and Johnny okay?"
"I haven't told them yet. But I sent them an owl. They should know by tomorrow."
"I'm scared. She's all I have left." Jessica began to cry. "She hoped she could get us away from all of this!"
Dumbldore wrapped his arms tightly around his granddaughter. Jessica had always loved the smell of her grandfather. Always like lemon drops.
"We'll find your mother before it's too late, I promise." Jessica wanted to believe her great-grandfather but something deep down inside her heart said otherwise.
At lunch Jade was still wondering where Jessica was. Jessica didn't even show up for Herbology. Jessica wanted to be alone. 'This was exactly what I needed. I don't need a death eater for a mother. It's bad enough my father was Sirius Black.' She began to cry all over again. This was all Lord Voldemort's fault.
Her father wouldn't be dead and her mother wouldn't be a death eater. A lot of people wouldn't be dead if t weren't for him. A surge of anger overcame Jessica. Stupidly, she punched the wall next to her and felt pain as her fist came into contact with the stone wall. Another thing to blame Voldemort for.
As she rubbed the red marks on her fist she heard footsteps. They were light and quick of an old woman. Professor Mgonagall came into the bathroom that Jessica had run off to after he grandfather told her the news.
"Miss Black. Why aren't you in class?"
"I had to pee." Jessica said pulling her knees up to her chest.
"On the bathroom floor?"
"Yes. I'm magical, remember."
"Jessica. Please don't be cocky with me. Miss Black, why are you not in class?"
"Family problem."
"You still need to be in class."
"Please Professor. Don't make me go! I can't I don't want them to think that I'm a freak!" Jessica began to cry again.
Professor Mgonagall was at a loss for words. The only thing she could think of was send Jessica to potions.
"Come on now Miss Black. I'll walk you to class. What do you have now?"
"Potions. We're going to the dungeons aren't we?"
"Yes."
"I can't. I'm afraid of underground spaces. I was attacked by a ground hog when I was 4."
"Miss Black, do you really expect me to believe that?"
"No. Not really," Jessica said pouting.
Professor Mgonagall knocked on Snapes' door and he looked very irritated when they walked in.
"She had a little business with Dumbledore."
"Oh great another ungrateful brat...Oh Jessica. You can sit next to Potter. That's if it's all right with you?" Snape said sarcastically.
"Yes." Jessica sat down next to Harry with a little wiggle of her skirt.
"I thought I'd never see a Black and Potter in my class again and together." Snape said.
"We ain't lovers Severus. I mean Professor Snape." Snape glared at her and sniggers were heard from the Slytherin side.
Harry knew how much guts she had. A lot! She called Snape by his first name.
"Harry, can you lend me the notes from class?"
"Uhh. Yeah. Sure." Jessica read the board. They were making some antidote for fire burns. Expedium. Jessica aced potions making. Everyone watched in amazement as Jessica was the only one who had gotten theirs completely finished Snape scowled as he could find nothing wrong with Jessica's brew. Snape got to Harry's brew and smiled. Jessica looked over and instead of it being a clear silvery liquid, it was green.
"Potter? Do you know why I am speaking to you directly?"
Harry looked around to the other cauldrons. His and Neville's were the only ones that were green.
"Do you know why yours is different"
"No Sir"
"You forgot to add the Windem slowly and let it boil for 5 minutes."
"Oh. Well you know sir..."
"Do not speak to me in that tone Mr. Potter. 5 points from Gryffindor! Alright flask your brew and bring it up to my desk."
Jessica was furious. How could Jade call this man daddy? But being Dumbledore's great-granddaughter had its perks. As she walked up to the desk, she handed Snape her flask and whispered
"You don't want the promotion do you?"
Jessica smiled and walked back to her seat. Harry was shocked Snape's face had turned white. As Harry walked up to the desk Snape looked very irritated.
"Oh by the way Potter, 5 points will be awarded to Gryffindor."
Harry walked back to his desk confused. There was a smile across Jessica's face.
"What did you say to him?" Harry asked.
"Oh nothing that grandfather can't fix."
The bell rang and thankfully it was last of their classes. Harry and Jessica walked back to the common room.
"Why were you late?"
"I had to pee."
"It took you a half an hour to go to the bathroom," Harry asked.
"Also I'm afraid of underground spaces. I was attacked by a groundhog when I was 4.
"Professor Mcgongual didn't believe you did she?"
"Not the slightest."
Both Harry and Jessica laughed. Harry knew now that Jessica and he were destined to be friends. With their fathers being best friends made their destiny truer. All Harry hoped that Jessica would look beyond that and would someday that Jessica would consider them more than friends.
"Jessica! Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!" Jade yelled.
"Well you didn't look in the obvious place." Jessica replied.
Jade looked confused.
"The bathroom! I was in the girl's bathroom, Jade. And I'm sure you were checking the boy's bathroom with some boy."
"His name was Dean and how would I be able to see you if—never mind."
"I can't tell you here. Can we go into our room?"
"Yeah."
"Bye Hermonie, Ron, Ginny. It was great talking to you Harry. And I don't think Snape will be giving you anymore trouble."
With that said Jessica waved and bounded up the stairs with Jade.
"I was hoping I would be able to sit next to her in Herbology class. But she never showed up."
"Ron, don't tell me you think she'll be your girlfriend." Hermonie said as she did her homework.
"Do you think I have a chance with her, Harry?"
"Sure. Ron." 'Yeah just as much as the chance Snape would actually wash his greasy hair' Harry thought.
"So do you guys think I have a chance with her." Neither Harry or Hermonie spoke.
"Well I don't care what you two think, I won't leave her alone until she says yes." Ron stormed off.
"Wow. He's sickly in love with Jessica"
"Yeah I know, it's actually quite sad." Harry said. 'Besides I have an advantage. I'm her friend. Poor Ron I've already won her over.' Harry added as an after thought.
"See you later Hermonie." Harry said going up to his room so he could talk to Ron.
THE END
