Remus Lupin watched as his crush flipped through her History of Magic
book. Getting fed up she slammed the book causing Madam Pince to glare at
her. Remus tried not to laugh as Jessica slide down in her seat.
From their hiding spot James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew saw how
their friend watched the American exchange student Jessica Turner. James
let out a short laugh, which was quickly covered by Sirius who put his hand
over James’ mouth. “You want to give us away?” Sirius hissed.
Jessica looked up to see Remus looking at her and quickly turned away.
She gripped her book and walked down one of the aisles of books. Her
thoughts were lost somewhere in time and space and time was something that she
did not have. Unknown to the rest of the students was the truth behind
her.
The girl that everybody knew as Jessica Turner was actually Jessica Black and
Sirius Black’s daughter. She had lived in America all her life until a
couple of weeks ago when she had moved because she had wanted to go to
Hogwartz. It was still holiday vacation in there so she wandered around
and ended up meeting Harry Potter and his friends. They had hit it off quite
well to her delight and she even found out where she had come from.
They had taken her to a man by the name of Albus Dumbledore who pieced the
pieces of the puzzle together. Sirius about two years before the betrayal
of Lily and James had went to America to search out rumors of Death Eaters
there. He had met up with a woman by the name of Isabel Turner and had
fell in love. When he had to leave he promised her he would return to
her, but he never got the chance. Jessica seemed to be the end result of
their love.
Then Dumbledore told her of Sirius’ fate and his sacrifice to protect
Harry. Harry turned away during the telling of this and Jessica was sure
he was trying not to cry. She took this in stride with little effort she
was use to heartache and pain after watching her mother and uncle died when she
was only eight. The other three immediately accepted her as one of the
group even though sometimes Jessica caught Harry staring at her like he was
looking for something inside her.
Her friendship with them was though almost tested immediately and that landed
her here in the past. Voldemort was gunning to kill Harry and he had to
go in hiding, but the only thing that could save him was a Secret-Keeper.
He hadn’t been to keen on the idea because that was how his parents had met
their fate. Jessica couldn’t bear to see a friend in such pain and
volunteered to become the keeper for Harry. At first the idea of her
doing it seemed unreal, but her logic won out.
Voldemort didn’t know about her or her past and so wouldn’t be thought of as a
keeper. They then would have an advantage over the Dark Lord. Luck
though wasn’t on their side at all. Voldemort found out about Jessica and
went after her. Dumbledore as a last resort sent her to the past so
Voldemort would never find her.

“Hello, pretty exchange student. Can we talk?” Jessica looked
around to come face to face with her past father. She was lucky that
Dumbledore had prepared her for this and so smiled gently back. All she
really wanted to do was yell because he had forced her out of her thoughts.
“About?” She didn’t want to talk, but she thought she should at least
listen to him.

His eyes glittered as he replied, “A friend of mine likes you. His name
is Remus Lupin. He happens to be a prefect here.”
Jessica already knew this and knew no matter what she thought she couldn’t
pursue this for it would mess up time. “So?” She made her tone
hasher trying to make it seem like she didn’t care even though it was far from
the truth.
&;&nb;
It was the wrong thing to say to Sirius for his eyes flashed and he leaned into
her causing her take a step back. “That is all you have to say about
it. You don’t even know him and you say that. I don’t know how he
could like someone like you.” He walked away growling about stupid girls.

James snuck up on Remus as he stood up to leave. “Hey, Moony. Do
any studying … of the girl kind?” James had a wicked grin plastered on
his face.
Remus seemed taken back by this turn of events and looked at him questioningly.
“What do you mean?” He had a gut feeling that he already knew.
“Jessica Turner.” James watched as a blush went across his friend’s
features and Remus ducked his head, muttering something. “Sorry, didn’t
catch that old boy.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Remus said a little loudly
getting his own glare from Madam Pince.
“I think you do.” James grinned walking away toward Sirius who was
wearing a frown. Little did any of the three know that Jessica had heard
everything and had another secret to add to the one’s she already had.
She liked Remus just as much as he liked her.
