Chapter 15—Wonderwall
Can you save me from this world of mine
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation
You are the one look what you've done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke
You're just a kid
You weren't ready for what you did
Jessica watched Tonks as if she had just grown a head, and this description was not far from the truth.
"How in the world?" Jessica asked with shock.
"It's really all about thinking of the person you want to imitate or just think of the features you want to have and then do it," Tonks said with bounce.
Jessica opened her mouth to ask a question but she was interrupted by the purple haired witch.
"See, I'm going to change my features to look like you."
Jessica watched with fascination as Tonks closed her eyes tightly and stared in awe as her features began to gradually change to match her own.
"See, easy as can be," she said grinning madly.
"Jessica, love, I need…" Sirius' voice trailed off as his eyes saw double. He narrowed his eyes between the two Jessica's.
"Tonks?" he asked.
"Wotcher. How'd you know?" The witch asked while switching back to her normal appearance.
"Well for one the two of you have different smells, and two, you both dress differently," he said running his eyes over Jessica's body appreciatively. She blushed minutely.
"What did you need, Sirius?" Jessica asked smiling.
"Weeellll, I need you to come with me right noooowwww," he said bouncing happily.
"I was just about to start practicing changing my appearance," she said, "Can it wait for an hour or so?" she asked sweetly.
Sirius frowned. "I mean it could, but—"
"Well then it's settled then. I'll practice for an hour and then I'll meet you."
Sirius frowned further. "But, but, Jessica, I really need to talk to you," he said cryptically.
"You just said it could wait."
"Well…I did…"
"Good," she said giving him a tender kiss on the lips.
"Where should I meet you," she asked sweetly, her arms wrapped loosely around his neck.
"If you have to ask, you'll never know," Sirius said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before walking in the direction of the kitchen, leaving behind a stunned Jessica.
Jessica smiled at his retreating back, shaking her head in mirth, before turning back to Tonks.
"So features. What do I have to do? Just concentrate and do it?" she asked.
"Yep," Tonks said cheerfully, "Start with something basic, like eye color and work your way to the more complicated stuff like lips and eye shape."
"Right. Well here goes," she said before shutting her eyes and concentrating on changing her eyes from their warm brown color to a cool calming grey. She thought of Sirius eyes and willed her eyes to match his.
Jessica opened her eyes and looked at Tonks apprehensively, "Did I do it? Did it work?" she asked eagerly.
"Oh, it worked alright. I guess we had a little inspiration in this recent change," Tonks said raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"Do you have a mirror?" She asked with pink tinged cheeks.
"Here ya go," Tonks said passing Jessica a medium sized mirror.
Jessica examined herself. She was happy she had accomplished the task of changing her features, but she was less than thrilled when she saw what she looked like with grey eyes.
"I think I'll be sticking with brown," she said.
"Okay let's do a few more and then you can go find my cousin," Tonks said moving her eyebrows once more.
"And you can go find Remus," Jessica said closing her eyes to begin the changes once more.
Tonks blushed but ignored it and watched as Jessica's features began to slightly resemble Remus'.
"Why you little witch," Tonks said jokingly.
"What ever is wrong, dear Tonks?" Jessica asked innocently.
"Nothing," she said smirking at Jessica, "I think we've done enough today, you better get going or my cousin will give you a spanking for being late," she said with a smug look on her face.
Remus' features fell from Jessica's face as she stared at Tonks with shock. She opened her mouth to say something, but found no words come out, so she instead walked away.
"You win this time, Nymphadora, but believe me tomorrow will be a different story," she said smiling as the red haired witch shriek that her name was Tonks.
Jessica laughed and continued to walk away. She felt good. And she didn't know why, but she felt that today was going to be a good day. But she knew that if her grasp of her powers were any indication then this day would be very good.
On her way to Sirius' bedroom, she passed a full-length mirror. She stared deeply into the mirror and looked at herself for a long time. Jessica noticed that she looked a lot better than she had a few days ago. She wasn't as pale as she had been and her eyes looked much browner, which was a clear indication that she was happy.
And she knew that her change wasn't merely outward because she felt it inside too. Jessica felt her confidence coming back tenfold with each triumph she experienced with her powers. Sirius had been right; her fear had been holding her back. But she was proud to have conquered that feat.
Jessica left the mirror with an even bigger smile on her face. She walked into Sirius' bedroom and found him lounging on the bed, with his eyes closed. She smiled at his calm demeanor. She stood staring at him for a few minutes, before climbing onto bed with him and laying her head on his chest.
Sirius opened his eyes when he felt Jessica's head hit his chest. He took a moment to watch her, before placing a locking charm on the room.
"Jessica," he whispered softly, "Are you awake?" he asked in a loud stage whisper.
"Well if I was, I'm not anymore," she said grinning up at him.
"Oh good then," he said before taking her lips in a heated kiss, "I've missed you," he murmured against her lips.
"You just saw me," she groaned as his hands trailed over her body tantalizingly.
"Well, obviously that wasn't enough," he said.
Jessica tried to retort, but all that escaped her mouth was a breathy moan.
Sirius smiled, his plan to her alone had been accomplished.
The two lay in each others arms hours later, with a few clothing items missing from their bodies. (AN: No they have not had sex yet.) Jessica smiled at Sirius happily. She didn't know how he always managed to make her happy, but she was glad he did.
"I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Jessica smiled as she heard Sirius' sweet voice in her ears.
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me"
"That was good, but I thought you didn't sing," she said smirking.
"For you I'll sing anything," he whispered while placing a sweet kiss on her lips.
"Ordinary," sang by Train on the "Spiderman II" soundtrack.
"Wonderwall," sang by Oasis on the "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" album.
