I own nothing except Jessie and Other characters you do not recognize. She is my character =). The rest is all JK Rowling Oh and I am making no money by writing this story… =(

Previously…

He thought about what she was saying. "You are very much like your dad. You look like him too. I've never met you mother but you don't seem at all like her."

"Thank you for saying so."

"So you visited her?"

"Yes. She didn't believe me. But I didn't expect her too."

He shook his head slightly "So what happened."

"She yelled at me and said get out. I even slipped into her mind. I at least thought she would consider it. But she just thinks I'm a slut. She really thought that too."

"Sorry."

"It's ok. I'm used to it. Most of the time she shouted it at me. So are you ok?"

"Better."

"That's good." She smiled glad she could help. "I'm going to talk to Dumbledore."

"I think… I should talk to him about a job."


"You want a job at Hogwarts?"

"Yes. Maybe. I just want to talk to him."

"What about... umm…" she pointed to his forearm

"I am just talking to him!Not really asking for a job."

"Oh. Ok then. That would be cool if you did get a job. Right now I'm spending most of my time at Hogwarts."

"You are going into hiding today though!"

"Sure, Severus."

"Jessie you are."

"I never said I wasn't! That's one reason why I'm going to Dumbledore. So… can we hurry?" Jessie said trying to rush him! "Fudgy Buddy could be waiting for us right now!"

"You. Not us."

"Yeah. And if they are going to arrest me I want you to never forget me."

"You're not going to prison! They will use Veritaserum on you."

"Not if I admit to it."

"Don't."

"What does it matter? That way I don't have to go into hiding."

"But you would rather be giving to the Dementors?"

"Oh what does it matter to you? You wont see me either way."

He thought about weather he should tell her she was important to him. Then decided "You are needed for this war. You need to end it."

"Dumbledore can come visit me and I will tell him what I say."

"Won't the Dementors have an effect on you?"

"Who knows what they will do to me. But their working for Vol-… you know. Yeah you should know better than anyone! Now lets go"

"Why are you staying though?"

She walked over to the door "What do you mean" then opened it slightly, still looking at him."

"Why aren't you running away?''

"What about you? Why are you staying?"

They stared at each other straight in the eyes for a very long time, both trying to enter the others mind. But both failed

"Lets just get to Dumbledore." Severus stood up and walked to the fireplace with Jessie.


Just as Jessie thought, Fudge was waiting for… someone. But at this point it was hard to tell if they wanted her or Severus. He had brought two Aurors to assist him.

The three stared at Severus for a long moment. Then turned their attention to her.

"Jessica Marie Davidson-" Why my full name?!? "you are under arrest for the murder of Michael Thompson-"

"Minister" Dumbledore interrupted "I really think you should listen to what she has to say. It would really clear things up."

"Very well." Fudge said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Jessie looked at Severus who nodded. Then she saw that Erik was there. He had a look that made him almost seem scared. She sighed as she made up her mind "I-I want Veritaserum."

"If you could please interrogate her here. I'm sure she would be more comfortable."

Is Fudgy just listening to Dumbledore because he's scared of him? But he's… old.

"If that's what you feel is best." One of the Aurors pulled out a vial and gave it to Fudge, who motioned her to sit down. "Please open your mouth while I pour-"

"Yeah, I get it." She opened her mouth and Fudge poured a few drops on her tongue

"Is your name Jessica Marie Davidson?"

"Yes."

"Did you kill Michael Thompson?"

"Yes."

"We were informed that you were… raped and that this was an act of self defense. Is that true?"

Jessie kept her mouth closed, trying not to tell him.

"Please answer the question."

"Ye-" She tried to force her mouth closed. Finally she gained control "N…. N…" her voice was shaky. Finally she gave in "Yes."

"Are you pregnant with his child?"

She bit her lip to keep herself from answering until she could taste blood "Yes." Then wiped it away before anyone could notice.

"Is it true that you visited your mother this afternoon."

"Yes"

"Are you a visionest?"

Dumbledore spoke up "This is irrelevant." Then gave Jessie a look she took as him telling her to try her hardest not to let anyone find out.

"Ye… Y-…No." How did I do that now but not when I really wanted to? She looked at Severus, his expression was unreadable, as usual. Then to Erik, who seemed relieved, as did Dumbledore.

"I will decide what is irrelevant in this case and what isn't." Fudge said. "Miss Davidson, if you would please appear in court these days" he handed her a paper "You will, most likely, be proven innocent."

"And if I don't?"

"Jessie!" Erik spoke taking a step forward. Even Severus now had a hint of worry in his eyes.

"I am the victim! Why should I have to tell everybody in the wizarding world what happened?"

"If you do not go to court then I will have to lock you away. You are a suspect in this case and did not file a rape report. If you do not testify we will put you in Azkaban. It is the new law. And if you run, you will be found.."

"I will make sure she attends. Although there is one problem."

"What is it now Dumbledore?"

"She needs to go into hiding from Voldemort."

"Don't use his name!" Fudge shouted as everybody flinched except Jessie. "If that is what is necessary, Two Aurors will escort her to court. But I am to know where she is."

"What if there is a spy and word gets out?"

"That will not happen. Than information will not leave the Ministry."

"If you insist."

The three stepped over to the fireplace and took a hand full of floo powder "Good day to you all." And then they disappeared in the green flames, but not without another look at Severus.

"I'm not going to court!"

"Jessica you must." Dumbledore said forcefully.

"I can't!"

"It's the only way. I am sorry all this has happened to you but it has and you need to deal with it. I will have Professor McGonagall help you through this."

"No. She has more important things to do. You all do!! Were in a war! What happened to me isn't nearly as important as that! Once I go into hiding, no one should worry about what will happen to this baby or me! So I'm going home to pack up my stuff and then I should be taken to a safe house. I need a secret keeper."

"I can do it." Erik said. Dumbledore nodded.

"I'm going to pack up my stuff while you decide were I'm going."


Jessie stepped out of the fireplace and went to her room. After a few moments she heard someone else. Severus walked into her room and sat on the bed. "I couldn't hear them talk about it."

"Oh. Right." She waved her wand and her trunk was now filled with clothes.

"Don't think you're not important."

She turned to look at him. "What?" She couldn't believe what he just said.

"Because you are… t-to me." He looked up and saw her face "What?"

"Did you really just say that?"

"You really want to help me. The least I can do is say… I'm happy to be your friend." He said feeling uncomfortable.

Then she smiled at him and gave him a hug. She noticed that his body didn't become stiff like before and he was also hugging her back. For some reason she felt as if she could stay there all day.
