Chapter 12—Somewhere Only We Know
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Jessica stretched her body out richly on her nice satin bed sheets making a soft moan of comfort. She plopped back down exhaustedly and turned her head to her smooth sapphire pillow cover. Jessica fell from the bed in shock as she noticed the sleeping man beside her.
She groaned as pain flew through her back. She laid her head down on the dingy carpet and sighed. Jessica's eyes moved around her surroundings and her mouth fell in shock as she noticed nothing was the way she left it the previous night.
She looked at the bed and noticed that it was not covered in a satin sapphire blue comforter and white sheets, but the comforter was an unfathomable black with deep midnight blue sheets and each item was made of fine silk.
The carpet that her head rested on was dirty and a grotesque faded red, a stark contrast from the pure white carpet that lay on her bedroom floor.
Jessica lay on the unclean floor trying to assess her situation. She tried to think of what she did the previous night that could have brought her to such a strange and unidentifiable place. But the only thing that came to mind was a wacky dream that consisted of a door being blasted open, an old man dressed in ridiculous pajamas, and her dog actually being a man who was deeply in love with her. Jessica laughed at the ridiculousness of her dream but she immediately slapped her hands to her mouth when the stranger on the bed called her name.
"Jessica, where are you love?" he called with a deep yawn.
Jessica lay on the ground still as a board with her eyes shut tightly, hoping to keep attention from herself.
"Baby what are you doing down there?" Sirius asked chuckling at her.
Jessica opened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. There, a few inches above her, leaned a man with gorgeous grey eyes and sexy bed-hair, not just any man though, but the leading man from her dreams.
Sirius held a hand out to Jessica in offering. He frowned when she looked at it blankly. "Come on love, come back to bed," Sirius said running his hand down her stationary arm and taking her rigid hand while wrapping his other arm around her waist. He pulled Jessica into the bed with minimum effort and tried to snuggle with her.
Sirius looked at Jessica with a small frown on his face. "Darling what's wrong?" he asked while stroking her cheek softly.
"Man I must have gotten thoroughly wasted last night, which is…well just plain impossible because I don't drink," Jessica whispered silently, completely ignoring the wizard who lay beside her.
"Jessica," Sirius said sternly, "you didn't get drunk and this isn't a dream," he said with seriousness, "you and I are…well we are together. And everything will be explained to you today, once we get out of bed and have some breakfast, which we will have in here."
'That way I can make sure she doesn't see any unnecessary magic.'
"Bossy little bastard, aren't you?" Jessica asked him with scowl.
Sirius chuckled softly, "I just don't want to scare you away love," he said while dipping his head down to meet her lips tenderly, "I just want you here, with me."
"Scare me huh? You don't seem very scary," she said beginning to feel more comfortable with the dark haired man holding her.
"Hmm well I can be very scary when I want to be," Sirius whispered throatily in her ear, earning a shiver from the witch beside him.
Sirius kissed Jessica softly, barely brushing his lips against hers. Their months together had taught him the exact way to push her into overdrive. Sirius slowly began to add pressure and intensity to the kiss, making Jessica melt against him.
He rolled his body onto hers and slowly rubbed his hips into Jessica's, making her moan in desire. Sirius then ground his hips into hers harder receiving a gasp from Jessica. He repeated this gesture, but stopped abruptly when he heard an explosion come from behind him.
Jessica looked over Sirius' shoulder to see that there were shards of glass over the ground in an assortment of sizes and colors.
Sirius rolled off of Jessica onto the bed. He propped himself onto his elbows and surveyed the mess that lay before him and then looked at Jessica with wonder.
"What?" Jessica asked clueless.
"Nothing love, but maybe, and this is just a suggestion, but maybe we should learn how to control our emotions. But I understand that it's hard love because I know I have that effect on you," he said with a cocky smile before leaning in and kissing her tenderly on the mouth.
"What are you talking about, what do my emotions have to do with the crap in your room spontaneously combusting?" she asked with conjecture, "And who says that you have any sort of effect on me?" Jessica asked with playfulness.
"Well," Sirius said leaning his body on top of Jessica's, "the first question I will answer later, but the second question I can prove right here and now," he said placing his lips onto her neck.
Sirius slowly dragged his lips and teeth down the length of Jessica's neck leaving red blotches over her caramel skin. Sirius hands went to remove her shirt, which was actually his shirt, when the door swung open.
"Hey Sirius, mum wants to know if…"
Sirius' head snapped from Jessica's throat to the sight of the red faced Ron Weasley.
"Oh, uh…uh sorry Sirius, mate…I didn't know you had someone—"
"Goodbye Ron."
"Uh…right."
Sirius looked at Ron expectantly, "Is there anything else you need Ron?" Sirius asked Ron through clenched teeth.
"Mum says breakfast is ready," he said before walking out of the door, leaving it wide open.
Sirius grabbed his wand from the bedside table and closed the door with a small click before turning his eyes back to Jessica, who stared at him slacked jaw.
"What?"
"What is th—"
"It's my wand."
"Wand?"
"Yes, wand."
"What does this 'wand' do?" she asked making air quotes with her hand.
"Anything…within reason."
"So this whole wiz—"
"Yes I'm really a wizard and no, yesterday was not a dream," Sirius said with impatience.
"Did I ask you if yesterday was a dream?" Jessica snapped.
"No, but you were about to."
"How do you know?"
"I just know."
"Who are you? Freakin' Houdini?"
"Who's Houdini?" Sirius asked with ignorance and a blank face.
"He's a magician."
"Oh, but he couldn't do real magic, could he?" Sirius asked with superiority in his voice.
"No but that's besides the point."
"Well what's the point?"
"The point is…."
But Jessica never got to finish her statement, for at that exact moment her stomach growled loudly.
"The point is you're hungry," Sirius said laughing.
Jessica marveled at how Sirius' laugh mimicked the bark of the dog he had masqueraded as.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat," Sirius said rising slowly from the bed.
"Wait, I though we were eating in here…you know, something about keeping me hostage," Jessica said mockingly.
"We are, so you stay here and I'll go get some food for us to eat," Sirius said placing a light kiss on Jessica's lips.
"But you said—"
Once again Sirius' lips stopped her statement.
"I know what I said, I made a mistake, and right now I'm correcting it," Sirius said against her lips.
"I'll be right back," he said pulling away. Sirius walked from the room and shut the door behind him quietly.
Sirius walked into the kitchen to the sounds of catcalls. He turned his eyes to the Weasley twins with a raised eyebrow, before narrowing his eyes at the youngest Weasley male, making his face redden in response.
"Quiet down you two," Mrs. Weasley said chastising her sons. "Sirius where's your guest?" she asked in a soft motherly tone.
Sirius shot Ron a glare before answering the aging woman before him, "She's waiting for me to bring her breakfast. We're eating in my room," he said while moving towards the kitchen table.
"But do you really think it's best for the two of you to eat upstairs. There's plenty of room for you two down here," Molly said in a mollycoddling voice.
"Yes I do believe it's best for the two of us to eat upstairs," Sirius said in a defensive voice. "Jessica is just beginning to come to terms with the fact that magic actual exists in the world, and I don't want her to get too exposed to magic too soon. It might scare her away and I don't want that.
"Molly there is no need for you to worry about her. She's been left in my care and I'll determine what's best for her," he said before levitating plates of food and pitchers of juice with his wand.
Molly snorted unattractively, "Isn't that exposing her to magic," she said icily.
Sirius' body stiffened in response but he chose to ignore the comment made by the Weasley matriarch. He walked out of the kitchen in an irate huff with piles of food leading the way back to his room.
Jessica smiled when she saw the door open, but her smile was immediately replaced with a look of surprise.
"So that wand thing actually works."
"Yep the wand thing actually works," he replied with an amused expression and tone, forgetting the disagreement he just had with Mrs. Weasley.
Sirius placed the food on the bed and climbed in while pulling Jessica into his lap. Jessica looked back at Sirius with narrowed eyes, "What ever gave you the idea that I wanted to sit in your lap?" she asked trying to fight the smile from making its way onto her face.
"It was my idea, love, don't act like it wasn't a good one because I know you like being here, snuggled up against me," he whispered cockily in her ear.
Jessica shivered despite herself, while letting the smile spill forth. "Anyway," she said changing the topic, "what do we have here?"
Sirius grinned cheekily and placed a chaste kiss on her neck before answering, "We have pancakes, waffles, biscuits, sausage, bacon, eggs, French toast, and some fruit."
"Goodness that's a lot of food," she said with awe in her voice.
"Yes, well, Mrs. Weasley cooks enough food for an army," he said placing a kiss on her neck, "literally."
"What's that sup—" Jessica began to ask.
"Later, I promise," Sirius replied handing her a plate stacked with delectable food.
Jessica looked back at Sirius and smiled softly before grabbing the plate of food.
