Sorry it has taken so long to update this story. I had major writers block.
"Jesse, I really, really like you," Hermione said looking up into Jesse's eyes. Hermione couldn't help getting lost in his eyes. She had never noticed that he had yellow flecks in his eyes before. Jesse took Hermione's hand in his and smiled at her.
"Good, because I really like you, too, hey do you want to come by my house tomorrow, we're going to go over to Aunt Piper's and I want you to meet Chris and Wyatt," Jesse asked.
"Sure, why not," Hermione said. Jesse looked at Hermione funny for a second.
"What," Hermione asked when she noticed the look Jesse was giving her.
"Shouldn't you ask your mom and dad if you should go," Jesse asked getting up off the bed. He walked over to the door and started to open it. There was a burst of loud yelling coming through the door. Jesse shut the door as soon as he heard the yelling then the noise went away.
"Do they always fight like that," Jesse asked pointing to the door. Hermione just smiled and nodded. Jesse walked back over to the bed and sat down. He put an arm around Hermione's waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Hey Jesse," Hermione said looking up at him.
"Yeah," He said.
"Why did you tell me that your dad was in the army, when he is a white lighter," Hermione asked. She didn't know why she asked him, she already knew the answer.
"Well at the time I didn't know you where witches, so I had to lie to you," Jesse said looking down at Hermione smiling, "Why, don't you have to keep your magic a secret here in England," Jesse asked smiling at Hermione.
"Yes, we have to keep out magic a secret, just like your family does," Hermione said. She moved Jesse hand and stood up off the bed and grabbed a pen off her dresser. She walked over to her calendar and marked off another day.
"What are you doing," Jesse asked.
"Counting down the days until we go back to Hogwarts," Hermione said as she sat down the pen. Hermione didn't sit down instead she walked around her room and stopped to look out her window.
"You're not thinking about sneaking out again are you," Jesse asked when he saw Hermione stop and look out of the window. Hermione just looked back at Jesse and smiled.
"No, not until they start making up," Hermione sat laughing. Jesse just gave her a funny face and stood up off the bed. He walked over to Hermione and put his arms around her, than he put his head on hers. Hermione could smell his cologne (Sorry if I miss spelled I can't spell if my life depended on it). He smelled really good to Hermione.
"What are you wearing," Hermione asked looking up at Jesse. He gave her another funny face and looked down at her, "Clothes," he said. Hermione laughed at him for a second.
"No your cologne," Hermione said turning around to face Jesse.
"Oh, ax," Jesse said smiling. "Hey I want to take you somewhere, but you have to promises not to freak out when you find out where we are going," Jesse said looking down at Hermione.
"Ok, hold on let me write a note telling my mom where I am. She always comes up here and checks on me," Hermione said walking away. She grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled something down on it.
"Let's go," Hermione said throwing her arms around Jesse. Again Hermione saw the white lights and felt her feet leave the ground. When she felt her feet hit solid again she let go of Jesse and put her hands on her knees.
"I was wondering when you would get sick from orbing," Jesse said smiling. He leaned over and put a hand on Hermione's back. Hermione started to straiten up and saw a bunch of lights. She looked down and noticed that they where on a bridge, but not any bridge, they where on the golden gate bridge.
"Jesse, why are we on a bridge," Hermione asked while she was looking down at the cars. She felt Jesse's hand on hip and looked at him.
"Try not to look down at the cars, look ahead at the city lights," Jesse said pointing to all the buildings. Hermione followed his hand and looked at the lights. It really was pretty she could see almost every building in the city.
"Why are we here," Hermione asked.
"I wanted to show you where I go when I need to clear my head, this is where I used to live," Jesse said. Hermione looked at Jesse and noticed that he was in a Trans like state when he looked at the light of the city.
"Why did you really move to England," Hermione asked. She had thought back to the first night they had met and remembered Jesse said he moved there because his father was in the army. Well know Hermione knew that he had lied about that.
"Um, my family was caught using magic, and we had to erase a couple of memories. We had to move so that we didn't trigger the memories of the people who had had caught us. I'm still going come back here every chance I get," Jesse said. Hermione could tell that the move had really been hard on Jesse, but she could also tell that he didn't want to talk about it, but she also knew that sometimes the things you don't want to talk about are the thing you need to talk about. Hermione had made the decision to make Jesse talk about his problems.
"I'm sorry. Why didn't you stay, it's not like someone died in the process of all of that," Hermione asked.
"The last time that my family's magic was exposed my mom and her sister, Piper, lost their older sister. It wasn't until Prew's funeral that they discovered that they had another sister, Aunt Paige," Jesse said, he was finally looking at Hermione as he was talking. Hermione couldn't help but feel sorry for Jesse. His family had given up so much to help people, and even after his mother had lost a sister, she still helped people.
"So why didn't Piper and Paige move here with you and your family," Hermione asked.
"They had to stay to protect the nexus under the manor," Jesse said. He had set his sights back on the city and wasn't looking at Hermione.
"Jesse, why didn't you just stay with Piper or Paige," Hermione asked.
"Because they have enough problems as it is. They don't need me around to make things worse. I'd rather stay with my parents anyways," Jesse said. Hermione put her hand around Jesse, but he jerked his hand away.
"I don't need you to feel sorry for me, Hermione. I need someone to be here for me when I need them. Do you know what I mean?" Jesse asked. Hermione looked out to the lights of the city again. She knew what he meant she just didn't understand what he was going through. What he was going through was something that Harry would understand.
"Yeah, I get what you mean. You know you should talk to Harry more. He goes through some things that are similar to what you deal with," Hermione said. She felt Jesse's arm go around her waist and then she saw the lights in front of her face and she soon felt her feet leave the ground.
When Hermione looked around she noticed that they where back at her room. She looked up at Jesse and noticed a smile on his face.
"What's so funny," Hermione asked.
"That we've only known each other for one day and we know almost everything about each other," Jesse said.
"You don't know everything about me," Hermione said with a little smile.
"No, but I will," Jesse said.
