I am taking your advice, Persephone, and using Severus' and Jess' escapades in the fic! It's a rather good idea thanks

And thanks to all whom gave me positive reviews. For all who didn't, DONT READ THE DAMN FIC IF YOU DONT LIKE IT

The memories of the times she and Severus shared had been almost erased from her memory. She had been fine forgetting everything that happened even though it left a void in her heart, but there past few days had brought the memories back. Her sitting on a windowsill in the Library didnt help at all either. For this too had been a place filled with memories of Severus. Her thoughts went back to the time when she lived in a dream and a nightmare.

Jessica enjoyed a comic book on a windowsill in the library. Sirius had given the book to her a year earlier. It was a while since she an Sirius had spoken, of course he was keeping his promise as always. The past few weeks had been hell for her. No interaction with her brother or friends. She often cried at night, in the library, and somehow Severus would turn up and hold her. It made her think.

She placed her book down and looked around the library. There she saw Severus. She smiled and kept looking at him.

Severus looked at the list that contained the books he would need to read for his Charms assignment when he, sensed, someone watching him. He looked around until his eyes were set on Jessica. She was smiling at him. He didnt know what it was about her, but she made him smile, she made him laugh even. Most importantly of all, she mad him feel.

He sent her a smile back and made his way towards the windowsill upon which she sat.

" Hello." He said as a smile played upon his lips.

" Hello." Jessica replied. The smile on her lips never faltered. With no care in the world she leaned in and gave a hug. Sure, not as big as a kiss, but it was to them. " How has you day been?" she asked kindly as she let him go.

Severus had slightly returned the hug and had slightly smiled back at her. " Tedious. The same routine over and over again. How about you? Entertaining yourself with useless magazines I see."

" It's called a comic book, and its funny. Sirius gave it to me last year."

" Ah."

There was silence. Not awkward, but a comfortable silence as Severus looked at Jessica, and she looked down to the comic " Severus?"

" Yes?"

" I don't mean to be...obnoxious, but how is it that you are always the one who finds me here?"

" I don't know." Severus answered honestly. " I just come up here and there you are, on the floor, crying."

(A/N: this is the part where you say...hmm...this doesn't sound like Severus...let me remind you this is my own AU and i can make him the pope if I wanted to (not that I do). and there for he can be " sweet" if you can write a better more realistic Severus, please email me or IM me and OrkDorkColdness AIM. If you have MSN messenger IM me at elektranoangel13. Now on with the story.)

It was an hour later, and they had already discussed all their favorite books, and Jessica lectured Severus on why it was important for a person to have some musical interest after he reveled to her that he didnt care for music.

" So, I better go. It's almost 9 (PM) and i don't want to be caught out of the tower and end up getting a detention." Jessica said.

" Right, I might as well look for these books tomorrow."

" What books are they?"

Severus showed her the list so she could look over it.

" Oh, i know where these books are exactly. I can show you tomorrow if you'd like?" Jessica asked him.

" I'd like that." Severus said. " Thank you."

Jessica smiled and leaned in to kiss him. It was times like these that she felt at peace, that she felt loved? It does not do well to dwell on dreams, and this, was a dream. A dream what would soon end.

Severus had watched her unnoticed. She sat in the same spot she had sat on those 16 year ago, when he found her reading that same comic. It seemed nothing had changed. He was about to approach her when she took something out of her pocket, a photograph of someone. She smiled and kissed he photo lightly.

Severus moved a bit closer to see whom the picture was of when he accidentally made a book drop to the floor with a thud.

She looked at the photograph of her son and smiled. How she missed him, he had been her reason for living for the past 16 years. Moving around had taken its toll on him, and it angered him so. A few weeks before she went back to Hogwarts, she had decided to let him stay with some muggle friends instead of dragging him around more, and she missed him. A day ago he had owled her, asking if he could live with her, telling her he missed her. Jessica accepted. With an escort of Dumbledore's choice, he was to be escorted to Hogwarts and would arrive tomorrow around lunchtime. She could wait.

Jessica lightly kissed the photo of her son, and that's when she heard the thud. She put the photo down and looked around.

" Hello? Is anyone there?" She asked but got no response.

Jessica grabbed her comic and placed it inside her old school bag that she still carried around with her. Forgetting the picture, she quickly walked out of the library without seeing Severus.

Severus had noticed she left the photograph by the windowsill and walked over to pick it up. There he saw him, the man or should he say boy, Jessica was looking at.

" What on earth does she see in him? He's too young for her!" He thought to himself. He pocketed the picture and walked out of the library, keeping in mind to speak with Jessica about this matter in the morn.
