Chapter 4:The Truth, Un-Ignored
Jessica stared at the man who stirred her youthful passions and opened her eyes up to love. It seemed like all the time between them had melted away. She felt like her seventeen year old, in love, just beginning adulthood self. She certainly felt the butterflies in her stomach like she had all those years ago when she first seen him, even though she'd infuriated him and driven him crazy, her arrogance made her figure that he'd warm up to her eventually, but surprisingly, she'd been right. She thought about earlier right before that boy had walked up to them. He'd leaned in like he was going to kiss her. Well, in her opinion, the time for it was definitely now.

Harry stared right back at the girl who'd not only infuriated him and driven him up the wall but who had also helped him through his pain, helped him save the world, and given all of her love to him, including the one muscle that supplied it, her heart. She'd definitely been demonic and angelic in her own way. He had once thought that he would be fighting with her for the rest of his life. Who would've thought that she show him another side of herself and make him fall in love with her? He knew that even his best friends had been proud but ultimately shocked when he'd told them that he loved her. Now finally he had the chance to get her back and rebuild the world he'd once had before this war. Breaking the silence between them, he spoke.

"Jessica, I understand why you didn't want Melody and James to get over-excited about me but I'm still a little hurt that you didn't at least tell them they had once had a father but I don't want to fight with you, especially not now." He paused, coming closer to her and pulling her against him. "I want us to be together again, I want us to ger re-engaged and get married and have a lot more children and cherish the time and the life we'll have together. I love you Jessica Dumbledore, and I always have."

A single tear slid down Jessica's cheek but she was smiling.

"I love you too Harry Potter, and I want the exact same things."

Harry couldn't nor did he want to stop the broad smile that was spreading across his face. He lowered his head down to kiss her. But their lips had barely brushed each other's when Jessica heard her grandfather shouting at her and Harry.

"Jessica!" "Harry!" "Come quickly!"

They hurried towards him. "What's wrong Grandfather?" Jessica asked him urgently.

"The children have been kidnapped!"

"You mean..."

"Yes, Melody, James, Harmony, Thomas, and Vanessa."

"What about Anastasia?"

"No the two Death Eaters in question left her alone because she was Draco's daughter."

"Death Eaters?" "I can't believe those idiots are still around."

"Where are they Grandfather?"

"They were heading towards the forest."

Jessica and Harry hurtled off towards the Forbidden Forest while Dumbledore sent letters to Oliver and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione.

Jessica and Harry were tearing through the forest as if their lives depended upon it.

"Man these Death Eaters must be moving fast." Harry commented.

Suddenly they heard cries for help.

They rushed towards the cries and heard very familiar voices.

"Once Potter and Dumbledore find out about their children, they'll come rushing here. You'll get Potter and I'll get to smash Dumbledore's pretty little head in."

"I recognize that voice, it's Bellatrix." "I guess grudges do carry on for an extremely long time." Jessica said half joking, half serious.

"Yes, I'll finally have Harry after all these years and have that little wench and her offspring out of the way." said a familiar voice.

They both knew it sounded familiar but they couldn't place their finger on who it was. But whoever it was, they were going to be locked up in jail or in a mental institution.

Jessica looked at Harry and said, "Let's go."

She started to walk off but he grabbed her arm. "I don't want you to get hurt." he said looking concerned.

"Harry we've got to save the children, now come on!"

They both raced to where they heard the voices and burst into a clearing.

"Ah Potter, Dumbledore, what took you so long?" Bellatrix said smiling evilly.

"Get away from my children, my nieces, and my nephew." Jessica growled.

"Not unless you and Potter come quietly, then we'll let the brats go but if not, we'll kill them."

"What do we look like to you? Simpletons?" "Idiots?" "We know good and well that you won't let those kids go so why don't we just duel and get this over with?" Jessica snapped.

"Eager to die Dumbledore?" Bellatrix chuckled.

Jessica just narrowed her eyes.

Harry grabbed her hand to calm her down and she did slightly but she was seething with anger and couldn't calm down.

She pulled out her wand and the battle began. Harry and Jessica were beating Bellatrix and the other Death Eater spectacularly when Bellatrix hit Jessica and she fell to the ground. But now before her own spell struck Bellatrix and she too, fell to the ground. Harry immediately dropped down beside Jessica and shook her.

"Jessica please don't be dead." Harry pleaded.

"It would be better if she was." said that familiar voice. Harry recognized that voice but he had to make sure. He stunned them and pulled off their hood. It was who he suspected.

Cho.

That girl had seriously flipped her lid.

"I'd never be with you anyways." he growled at her motionless body.

He turned back to Jessica. She still hadn't moved.

"Is our mom okay Professor Potter?"

Harry turned around and saw his daughter and son standing there, their bright blue-green eyes watering up.

"I'm not sure kids but I think there's something I should tell you two."

He took a deep breath and finally said the words that he'd wanted to say all this time.

"I'm your father kids."

"W-What?" they both asked surprised.

"James, have you wondered why you resembled me so much? I really am your father. Your mother didn't tell you about me because I was off fighting in a war and she feared I might not return so she didn't tell you two about me but I'm back now and your mother agreed to marry me soon. I hope you two can learn to accept me as your father."

To Harry's surprise, they both hugged him.

"Welcome to the family, dad." they both chorused.

"We'd better get Jessica to Poppy and quick." Harry said. The two kids nodded and they, along with Vanessa, Tommy, and Harmony, followed him to the castle as he rushed the love of his life to the hospital wing.

Sorry it took me so long to update. My schedule has been nothing but hectic. I tried to find a spare moment to write but it was impossible. Plus I was having serious writer's block for a while. Lame excuse I know but I'll get the next chapter up here sooner. I promise.
