Snape's Lost Love
Chapter Six (Part Two)
"The necklace that I gave you?" I asked trying to sound as if I didn't know what she was talking about. "He had too much to drink at the party," she sighed. "He saw the necklace and asked me where I came from, when I didn't answer he started yelling at me. Sirius tried to calm him down but he would listen. He hit me and then Jess jumped in and he turned around and hit her. He said that she should mind her own business and he hit her again, Sirius was furious. He pulled James away from Jess, he beat him so bad that he could barely walk. Sirius said that if he ever laid a hand on her or me again that he would kill him. I was so scared, Jessica and I went to our room. She told me that I should go see you, that I should tell you what happened. Did you really give me this necklace?" She asked holding the shimmering diamond heart in her hand. I nodded and she smiled, I was so glad that she smiled. I loved her smile, it made me feel good.
She moved closer to me, we were within inches of each other. I leaned down and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around me. Then she suddenly pulled away, I was taken aback. "I... can't," she shuttered. "James." She turned and ran away, I stood speechless for a long time. I didn't know how to get my feet to carry me back, I am not even sure how long I stood there and I don't remember when I got back to my room.
