Chapter 05: A Tan and rides

Jaci looked up as Severus walked into the living room, he had finished the fruit salad and then sat her on the couch as he served both of them. He sat next to her and passed her a bowl. Jaci smiled.

"Thank you," she whispered. Severus nodded. They ate in silence and then washed the dishes. Severus looked out of the window and smiled, the clouds were being blown away and the sun was shinning through. Apparently Jaci noticed as well and grinned as she looked over at him. He smiled, but when Jaci turned away he frowned.

He was upset; he wanted to know what it was that Jaci's father would do to her when it stormed. It had to be something Jake did to her, why else would she be so afraid of the storms?

"Hey Severus," Jaci's voice cut through his thoughts. He turned to look at her.

"Yes?"

"Let's go outside and swim or something." Severus smiled.

"All right."

Jaci shivered, the water was way too cold to swim in, but she was shocked as she saw Severus jump right in. He surfaced and looked at her curiously.

"Aren't you cold?" Jaci asked him. He laughed.

"It's not cold, it's nice and cool." Jaci gaped at him.

"That water's freezing cold!" he laughed. He swam up to where she was standing.

"No it's not here, touch my hand." He extended his hand. Jaci took it and screamed as he pulled down into the water.

She surfaced sputtering and shivering. She could hear Severus laughing she growled. Oh he was going to get it now. She quickly dove back under the water and swam up to him, punching him in the stomach.

Severus' laughing stopped and he doubled over, Jaci resurfaced, grinning. He glared up at her.

"That's not fair I can't hit you back." He mumbled. Jaci laughed. She swam up to him slowly.

"Yeah you could, if you wanted," she purred. He glared at her and she laughed again. Then she shivered. "I'm getting out and tanning." She began to move out to the stairs of the pool. "Want to join me?" Severus looked at her and shrugged.

"I guess." He followed her and lay down on his back on a pool chair like she had. The sun was heating up his cool skin, he sighed. It felt good to lie in the sun, soon he dozed off to sleep. Jaci looked up at Severus and smiled, he had fallen asleep, good. Now he would get some sun, he was so pale! She sighed and closed her eyes as well.

Severus groaned, he felt smooth cream on his back and strong hands massaging his back. He sighed and opened his eyes. It was Jaci, she was putting more sun block on his back. He smiled at her and sat up.

"You should turn on your back now Severus, you're super dark on your back," Jaci whispered. Severus, who was still a bit asleep only nodded and turned to lie on his back and went back to sleep with Jaci massaging more sun block into his shoulders.

"Severus," Jaci shook him slightly, "Severus."

"Hmm?"

"Come on get up, I've made lupper."

"Lupper?"

"Yes, lunch and supper." Severus laughed and opened his eyes to look at her and was shocked to see that the sun had gone down already. She was standing over him, hair falling into his face. He smiled and ran his hand through her hair.

"Ok, let's go."

Jaci was dying to get Severus to go and look in a mirror because he would not recognize himself at all! Most people take a while to tan, but he caught the sun incredibly fast! She had started laughing herself when she saw him.

Severus sat down at the table and ate as Jaci rushed around doing other things, she had eaten earlier. When he was finished they both washed dishes and moved to the living room where Jaci put a video on and she watched it. Severus sighed and spread out on the couch while Jaci got a chair. They watched the movie for a while, but Severus and Jaci felt their eyelids start to droop at around 1 in the morning so they shut off the TV and headed up to Severus' room.

Jaci felt back onto the bed and closed her eyes, snuggling into the blankets. Severus smiled and began to walk away from the bed.

"Where are you going?" he heard Jaci mumble.

"To the bathroom."

"Oh, ok." Severus walked into the restroom and turned on the light, he walked over to the toilet and just as he was about to lift the seat caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He stood there for the longest time just staring back at himself, not believing what he was seeing.

He was a darker color! Not as bronze as Jaci, but a nice color. He stared at himself. He did a full circle, trying to turn his head to see his back, yup, he was a totally different color. He sighed and walked back to the bedroom, boy was he going to shock Hogwarts.

At around 12 the next morning, Severus woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. He groaned and put the pillow over his head, but he heard Jaci go and answer the door, she yelled. He shot up from the bed and took off downstairs.

"Oh, so this is why you haven't gone to my house," Severus heard a male's voice say as he stopped in the living room. He saw a man, a bit older than Jaci, maybe a few years, black curly hair, brown eyes, standing there with Jaci in a headlock. Just then Jaci kicked his shin and he went down, cursing. Jaci shot up and smiled.

"Oh course cuz," she said, grinning. She walked over to Severus and ran her hand through his hair, smoothing it down. The man stood up, wincing and drew Jaci back into his arms, hugging her tightly.

"Ok, just came to check up on you, you dad owled me last night, saying that you were alone with this dude, just had to make sure that it was all right." The man looked up at Severus, glaring at him. "And it is all right, right?" The man looked down at Jaci who rolled her eyes.

"Of course Freddie, we're fine." Freddie raised his left eyebrow and Jaci did the same, they laughed and Freddie hugged her again.

"All right then, I'll see you later cuz." With that Freddie walked out of the house. Jaci locked the door and turned to look at Severus, smiling.

"To answer your first question, he's not really my cousin, he's my friend Mandy's brother, but we've been so close that I call him my cousin."

"Ok." Severus thought that was a bit strange, but didn't want to say any thing that might upset Jaci.

"So what do you want to do today?" she asked Severus, walking over and smoothing his hair down more. He shrugged. "Good, just what I wanted to hear. Go get dressed, put some shorts on and a light t-shirt, preferably a white one, oh wait here." In her hands appeared a white muscle shirt, Severus looked at her shocked.

"How did you do that? You didn't have a wand!"

"Oh, yeah, I took wandless magic training, it's okay, but I didn't take the full course so I only know how to do certain things." Jaci shrugged, she handed him the shirt. "Here, go, shower change, hurry!" Severus nodded and ran up the stairs to shower and change.

When he came back down, Jaci was wearing the top to her bathing suit and shorts. She was carrying a backpack that had a few things in it and her sunglasses. He looked at her curiously.

"Where are we going?" he asked her. Jaci smiled. She held out her hand and he took it.

"We're going to apperate somewhere just focus on me, ok?" Severus nodded. Soon they were standing in a room, Severus looked at her confused and Jaci grinned. They stepped out of the room and they greeted by the scorching heat, the smell of sun block, sweat, food, and water. Severus saw so many people, most of the burned, wearing muscle shirts like his. He looked at Jaci confused. She grinned.

"It's called an amusement park."
