What Last Forever

Chapter 21

In Grimmulds place, somewhere in London, time unknown.

Everyone was still staring at the two men in a dumbfounded silence. And Snape didn't like that. Actually, he never liked to be stared at, that's why he usually managed to prevent it. But not now. So he reacted like any self respected potion master, slimy extraordinary slytherin would.

"It wasn't me! He was the one!" he said and pointed at Remus who immediately growled at him like only a werewolf could do. But this time Snape was far too concerned about proving himself innocent so he didn't take the clear warning to heart and continued to splutter about how it was all Lupin's doing.

"I just happened to be there at the time," he continued and everyone raised an eyebrow.

"Why would you be there during the time they were doing that? Enjoying it that way, you pervert?" Tonks teased him.

Snape's cheeks coloured and tingled sweet pink.

"That's not what happened!" Remus said quickly. "I was attacked!"

"Remus, from what I've heard Jamez was pissed out his mind during the time, how could he possible have attacked you, and even if he did, how could you possible not being able to defend yourself from a pissed teen?" Hermione asked.

"I was shocked!" Remus said feebly.

"Yeah, we didn't see that one coming. Besides, it's not everyday you get attacked like that," Snape cut in. When everyone else stared that time he joined them. What the hell did he mean by that? He didn't even know that himself. And with onlyone singlecomment he had managed to revel severalthings which he never did when he was in his right mind. 1) he said that he wasn't used to be attacked like that, unintentionally telling everyone he wasn't attractive to people. 2) He openly told them that he was lacking at his spy skills during that time. 3) he was acting Gryffindor!

"Er, what I mean is that he's not a person, or didn't seem like a person who would do that… er, he's normally very guarded…" Snape continued to ramble with hopes to perhaps manage to save some dignity but it only made matters worse.

"So why didn't you defend yourself Remus?" Tonks asked, effectively taking the attention away from the spluttering potion master.

"I was shocked," Remus repeated.

"Terrified, frozen, spaced out," Snape clarified.

Remus nodded gratefully.

"Yeah, my mind were somewhere else. I didn't know what was happening."

"Why only Remus through, why not you Snape?" Moody asked.

"Look, can we not talk about this?" Remus burst out when Snape seemed to have lost his speech. Snape nodded at Remus's suggestion.

"Yeah, I can hardly see why this is relevant to the story!" Snape burst out.

"All right, you've had your fun. Hermione please give us your report," Dumbledore finally spoke, taking pity on the two flustered men.

Hermione nodded and stood up in front of everyone while Lupin and Snape sat down in their previous seats.

"I went over to USA a few months after Professor Snape and Lupin. I was a bit worried over the fact that I would be neglecting my studies but I worked it out with Professor Mcgonagall, she said-" but Snape cut her off.

"Please stick to what's relevant," Snape said irritated.

"Oh sorry," she said and blushed. "Well anyway, I went to the club because we got the short reports from the Professors telling us on any big steps forward. I began to work in the club under the name Sarah Clearwater. I worked in the bar together with Anders and Thomas. Harry works as a DJ so I wasn't near him which wasn't very satisfying but it was the best I could do. I began to ask people about Jamez. They seemed very unwilling to give out any information about him."

Lupin and Snape nodded. They had experienced the same thing.

"When I asked one question here and there they seemed less suspicious."

"Well of course you stupid girl!" Snape spat out impatiently. "How you survived the weeks there without being kicked out is beyond me! You don't know the first thing about spying, and books won't help you there," he said sourly and Lupin silenced him from spitting out anything else with a hand on his shoulder. Lupin had found out that it was a very effective way to put a stopper in Snape's mouth for a while. Merlin knows he had needed it during their missions.

Hermione looked a bit crushed over the cruel words but continued on bravely like only a Gryffindor would.

"I met Harry on my third night, I hadn't seen him before. I asked him where he had been and he said he had been on a vacation to get away from the club life. He used very shocking words to tell me," she remembered and looked a bit offended at it.

"I tried to talk about England but he was very unapproachable on the subject. He was about to go and I tried to catch his interest so I asked him about Harry. Then he told me to go back where I came from. He also called me Granger," she said and looked a bit hurt at that when she remembered the tone he had used with her. "He told me that Harry had warned him about me, and that's when I realised that they were the same person because, like I said earlier, you must know me very well to recognize me. And he didn't outright deny it either when I told him I thought he was Harry. He just told me to prove it. I tried to tell Remus and Professor Snape but they wouldn't listen," she said and looked at the two men angrily. They didn't seemed faced by it. From there you know what happened," she finished.

"So the conclusion of all this is that Lupin and Snape doesn't think he's Harry while you however do… And that leads us where exactly?" Moody asked.

"We need more time. The reason why we haven't moved on is because there is something about Jamez that we need to figure out. He knows something important that we do not and he knows Potter. We can't let him out of our sight which has happened now. And there's another thing, Jamez is innocently convicted. The cops and judges and whatnot were corrupted. Also Jamez choose a muggle trial before a wizarding one even through he knew that it was likely to be convicted and sent to a muggle prison. We need to figure out why he would to that when he could have gone to a wizarding trail and be cleared of all charges. I believe that's the key, or one of them, to the mystery which is Jamez. We need to know why he fears the wizarding world. And we also need to know why someone is out to get Jamez. Why would they want him in prison?" Snape said.

Everyone thought for a moment.

"I'm more confused now than I was before you gave your reports," Tonks announced and there was a several murmurs that told everyone they agreed with her.

"It's like Pandora's box. Whenever you uncover one secret there's a another one, even bigger underneath it," Arthur said.

"It's many layers alright," Snape murmured but only Lupin heard him and whole heartedly agreed with him.

"It never seems to stop. The poor boy!" Molly said.

"That's another thing that resembles him with Harry!" Hermione exclaimed triumphal and every one, even Lupin and Snape had to agree with that.

"So what now, are you going back to USA?" Moody asked Lupin.

"Yes, and first and foremost we must find where they sent Jamez to. Perhaps we could do some undercover work there. Posing as a prisoner or a officer, hack."

"Good thinking," Moody commented.

"I was not finished with my report!" Hermione said loudly and everyone looked at her. "I was attacked," she said and began to shake ever so slightly.

"What?" Molly and a several other shouted.

"I was on my way home to the flat I stayed in when I was attacked by a tall figure in black. He began to choke me but had to let me go when two patrolling officers came by," she said fearfully.

"Probably some burglars," Snape brushed it off and everyone glared at him for his insensitivity.

"How are you dear?" Molly Weasley said and took her into a bone-crushing hug. Hermione let out a sob and Snape rolled his eyes. What surprised most people was that Lupin didn't look overly concerned either.

"It was probably one from the club, wanting to give hr some payback for that staff meeting," Lupin whispered in Snape's ear, making them both share a quick grin. They had heard Spike whine about it to Jamez on a several occasions and they had also noticed the other co worker's disgust for the girl when they were roaming through the club.

"Yeah, well, I think it's time to break up, we need to get some work done," Lupin said finally and rose together with Snape. They headed for the door and a several good lucks and suggestions hit their backs on their way out.

X 899- Earlier

"Hey! Get your hands off my scar!" he said incredulous. No one had ever touched his scar and he'd be damned if he'd let anyone do it without a fight!

"Oh so sorry," said Marcus with a grin and stroked Jamez's hair instead. He didn't look concerned at all over Jamez's anger. Jamez tried to back out of the embrace while he spoke.

"You're not sorry at all you sick fuck! Let me go. What are you? Some god damn fag?" he said. He was seething.

Marcus tilted his head on the side like a dog would do when it tried to understand you.

"You're no fun," he said slowly. Jamez glared at him.

"I'm the best you can do in here. Believe me when I say you're gonna need somebody. It get's lonely," he said sweetly.

"Oh yeah? Well to bad I don't bend your way! Go find yourself another bitch!" he spat.

Marcus laughed. He seemed to find something very funny but Jamez could see nothing amusing. But then again this was Marcus Malfoy. He wondered if he didn't like the other Malfoys better after all. At least they were predictable and normal if yet a bit evil.

"Who said you'd be my bitch? Perhaps I'd like to be your bitch," he said. Jamez stared. Alright, so maybe that wasn't what he had been expecting. What was going on in Malfoys head? Was he being serious or was he just fucking around? It was impossible to tell.

"You know what, just shut up! I'm going back to bed. And I don't want to hear another fucking word from you, got that Malfoy?" he said and wrenched free from the blonds grasp.

"Crystal," Malfoy said dryly. Jamez turned his back to him when he thought it was alright to do so and was about to climb up on his bed again when he felt a body pressed tightly against his back.

"I can be silent while at it, you know," Malfoy said in a seductive voice.

Jamez whirled around and showed the blond away from him.

"That's it! Tomorrow I'll ask to be transferred to another pod! A horny gay Malfoy is just one thing I can't handle!" he screeched.

"Schyyssh!" Malfoy said playfully. "You'll attract the hacks!" he said, but not without seriousness.

"So? You know what? I'd rather spend my night and days in Unit B. As a mater of fact, I think I'll scream right now so they can come and take me there!" he said and opened his moth to scream. Malfoy was in front of him so fast that he didn't even see him move from one place to another. Malfoy's strong hand laid over his mouth, making sure no sound sipped out.

"Shut up!" Malfoy hissed viciously. "Are you out of you mind? I was just joking!" he hissed angrily, not unlike like a cat. "You have no idea what you're playing with Jade! You cannot go to Unit B, you don't know how this place works but I do. And you do not what to go there," Malfoy said with conviction. Jamez glared at him since he could make no sound. "I'm gonna let you go now, but you scream and you'll wish you were never born," he threatened before he let him go.

Jamez rubbed his jaw and glared.

"Now I start to recognize you!" he spat and though of Lucius and Draco.

"Don't you dare to compare me with them!" Marcus said angrily. Apparently he knew what he was thinking "If you weren't such and thick headed idiot I wouldn't have had to do that!"

"Shut up, you started it. I refuse to have an verbal argument with you because it's childish. Now, if you'll oh so kindly let me go to my bed I'll see you in the morning," he said sarcastically.

"Fine!" Malfoy huffed.

When both had finally settled down on their own beds and Jamez was starting to drift off to sleep he heard Marcus's voice but he was to tired to respond.

"You know, I wasn't serious earlier, but if you ever get too lonely I can suck your diamond cock if you suck mine," the voice floated up to him.

Some people never gives up, he thought. But now he had realised that Marcus only said those things to get a rise out of him. To disturb hisGryffindor side. You wait 'til morning and I'll show you my slytherin side, he thought tiredly.

One hour later, still in the middle of the night an alarm system went off, effectively waking everyone. When he got down from his bed Marcus was already at the window looking out. The noise of every other prisoner pondering on the Plexiglas window could be heard even through the alarm was deafening. Marcus began to pounder too, all through, not as viciously.

"What's going on?" Jamez yelled over the noise. Marcus turned around and gave him a scary smile, ice apparent in his eyes.
