CHAPTER TWO Sirius looked around the grounds. Everyone was out there this morning. "Why did the teachers give us off the whole morning?" James asked walking up next to him. "dunno... probably because Peeves "Sirius said watching a bunch of seventh years out in the open part of the grounds. They were mostly Slytherin but he also saw a bit of his fellow Gryffindors cheering on whatever was happening. A girl fell out of the circle and slowly and painfuly got up from the ground. It was Jessica.. And she had the look of loathing written all over her face, as a Slytherin boy stood there. "What? Is fighting against the American culture? You won't even try!" he yelled punching her again as she fell to the ground once more. "Hey!!!" James and his gang began running toward the small group that had gathered around the fight. Everyone including the Gryffindors had backed up as they rushed to Jessica, who was now laying limply on the ground. They all knew better than to get mixed up with the Marauders.. It did end pretty if they did.
Sirius bent down over her and carefully helped her sit. There was a small bruise forming just underneath her bangs and her lip was bleeding heavily. There were crystalline tears forming in the corner of her eyes as she tried to breath. He could tell it was very painful. "It's not Nice to hit girls... so I highly suggest that you lot.. Including the Gryffindors, clear out..... That is unless you'd like a hex on you" James snarled as everyone did just what he asked, and ran off. The other two marauders bent down with Sirius. Jessica's tears were now flowing out of her eyes. What was that all about?" James asked as she sniffed "S-Slytherin doesn't like the fact that... I am not interested.. And I ignore evil idiots....." she said "So they beat you up/"Reamus asked her as she nodded. "And.. I told them to fuck off..." "Then why didn't you fight back? You just stood there!" James asked as they helped her up toward the castle. "Well.. When I was in Florida.. I used to get into all sorts of fights.. My best friend made me promise not to fight here.. And I can't break a promise.." she said smiling to herself painfully. "That's dedication that is" Sirius said with admiration. "Well then we have no choice!! Consider us your personal bodyguards" James piped up as Jessica just stared at him. "What?" she asked as they all smiled. "Well we can't let a pretty girl go around getting clobbered all the time. And besides, you ARE Lily's cousin after all..."Sirius said as she giggled and nodded "I appreciate the help you guys" she said as Sirius and James burst through the doors as if she were some sort of royalty that needed to be respected.
Later that night Jessica came bolting out of the Gryffindor common room. She'd been trying to find night cloak but couldn't. "Oh I can't believe it was right under my freaking no-oof!!" as she turned the corner of the corridor she and someone else fell to the ground with a loud Thump! Jessica groaned and looked down into hazel eyes. Her own cerulean ones widened. "Sirius!!" she exclaimed as the boy grinned goofily and looked up at her. "Fancy meeting you here Lyf" he laughed "I'm sooo sorry!! I didn't see you there and I was in a hurry!" she said "It's fine I as sent to look for you anyway, by Lily.. She seemed to think a Slytherin git might have jinxed you" he said "No.. I'm fine I was in the common room" she said "that's good, um jess?" Sirius asked "Huh?" "I'm pretty sure your boyfriend wouldn't like to catch us in this uh... oh so comfortable position." he mumbled as she turned bright red and got up off of him. "So sorry" she mumbled both turning a bright shade of crimson. "No big deal, c'mon before all of the good food is gone!!" he said as the two of them walked down the hallway.
They didn't speak much on the way there.. The situation they had been in was still playing through their minds.. It wasn't everyday that you got to fall on the one you have a crush on.... "Hey Sirius?" he looked over to Jessica who looked reluctant to say what she was about to. "What?" he asked mentally kicking himself for the bluntness "You know.. I don't have a boyfriend" she said as he blinked "You.. You don't?" "No.. Never have..." she said smirking "So not even back in America?" he asked rather enthusiastically "No... Had a really close guy friend.. But we never went farther than skipping classes to goof off on the beach" she said as he grinned. Inside he was bursting with happiness like a drunken fool without a brain. "So.. So then.. Can I.. I mean.. We" she laughed as he scrambled around for words "If you're asking me to be your girlfriend..." she said looking back over he shoulder. "You're asking for a definite yes there padfoot" she said running into the great hall leaving him standing there.
It was a shock that she actually knew what he was going to ask.. But even more a shock that she said yes. He shook it off grinning as he placed his hands behind his head and walked into the great hall casually. Jessica looked up, smiled and continued with her conversation with Lily about unicorns and dragons. He sat next to James who looked at him weird. "You're positively beaming.. What's up?" he asked as Sirius looked at him. He wasn't about to blurt it out... Even if e was his best friend. "Padfoot just had a run in with a girl in the hallway..." Jessica said as Sirius looked at her. "And the two of them ended up on the floor.... really hysterical" she said nonchalantly as she pushed a piece of pork around her plate with a small smile. They all looked at Sirius "Way to go mate!!! what house was she from?" James asked clapping him on the back "Gryffindor" he said shrugging. "Name? Age? Looks!! C'mon Padfoot don't leave me hanging" James said as Sirius and Jessica looked at each other. She mouthed the words ' common room' and stood up to leave. "I'm not really hungry.. I'll see you later Lily" she said walking off "What?! I can't tell you everything now can I?" Sirius asked standing up as well as he walked out the great hall with her, the two of them laughing. The marauders and Lily all sat there. "What?! He can't tell me?! Padfoot can always tell me things!!!" James pouted "Oh isn't it obvious James!! Use your brain1 I know you have one in there somewhere" Reamus said grinning. "What!!!?" he asked at the same time as lily "Oh quit being prats you two.... who did Sirius come in with?" "Jess" "Who did he keep looking at?" "Lyf" "And who did he leave with?" "Jessica!!" James said getting the hint. "He's going out with her?!' Peter asked "Well if they are.. They make a cute couple" Lily said grabbing James's arm and pulling him out of the hall with Reamus and Peter in tow, sniggering at the look on James's face..
The next morning when everyone was walking toward care of magical creatures James confronted Sirius about him and Jessica. "So Padfoot.. Got yourself a girlfriend now?" he asked as Jessica looked back at the sudden question in which had interrupted Sirius's concentration.. "maybe?' he said absentmindedly, continuing to fold and wrap up the yellow piece of parchment . "Well now.. You can't keep her away from us! She'd be left out of the fun and the games" he said as Sirius groaned "Don't start prongs" Jessica said "What!? Not doing anything wrong? It's not like it's you or anything" he sniggered as she grinned evilly "You know it is James.. Stop playing the idiot" she said as he mocked a heart wrenching sob. "You hurt me Lyfling" he said as Sirius huffed and growled "How in the bloody hell. .Jessi!!!" he whined as she grinned "You still can't guess how I did it can you?" she asked as he whimpered "No!!" he said "What did you do?" Reamus asked as she pulled a small paper flower out of her pocket. "Origami?" he asked as she smiled "The ancient art of paper folding.. Wizards all over Japan use them for spying and getting notes to each other without others knowing..... I learned it from my aunt" she said as James Grinned "What? Did you use it to send Padfoot a note?" he asked as she smiled sarcastically. "Yeah actually she did.. Now I'm trying to figure the fucking thing out..."Sirius swore getting a very heavy giggle out of Jessica "So how do you do it?!" he asked as she grinned. "A secret you may never know" she said putting her finger to her lips and winking as she ran off. Sirius growled as the other three giggled. "You know Padfoot? I think she's teasing you..."James teased "no one teases me!!' Sirius said "Well she did.. You better go get her!" James snickered as Sirius stomped off after Jessi who'd stopped dead in her tracks, with her eyes wide in shock.
