"Black, I would appreciate if you could stop day dreaming, and pay attention in class." Snape snaped.

Jessica looked up, and shook her head to get out of her thoughts once, "Yes," she mumbled.

"Good," Snape said, "now, the pairings I've made are besides the board."

   Jessica gaped at him. He didn't even give her detention or take points off Gryffindor! Was this Snape, or someone else under Polyjuice potion? This just didn't seem like him.

   Jessica got rid of her thoughts, and looked to the pairings lost, hoping to have one of her Gryffindor friends as a partner. She wasn't prejudiced, but they were having the class with Slytherins, and she wasn't really friends with any Slytherins there, or any at all,  as a matter of fact.

"Black, you will partner up with Adrian Pucey." Snape sneered, and Jessica was sure he was hiding an evil batty smile.

   The news of Jessica punching Adrian Pucey in the nuts had spread across the school like wildfire. But that wasn't the only news concerning a Gryffindor girl beating up a jerky Slytherin boy.

   Hermione Granger, as Jessica found in the morning, had punched Draco Malfoy in the face, for being a git, and getting Hagrid, and his Hippogriff in toruble, for something that was his fault. Jessica was actually very proud of the girl, and had said so, to the blushing brunette.  

"Well, well, well, look who's here." Adrian chuckled.

   Jessica was honestly some what surprised. Where did the jerk's massive ego go, that he's chuckling in front of the girl, who punched him in the nuts — and everyone knows too.

"Get put of my way, Pussy cat." Jessica bumped into his shoulder hard, before making her way to the potions cabinet, to get the ingredients.

"Pussy cat?" Adrian asked.

"Yes, Pussy cat." Jessica said, bringing the ingredients to the table, and then taking Adrian by the shoulder, "now listen here, Pussy cat, I am in no mood to fail this, so suck it up, and work hard, do you understand?"

"Hey, I may be a bit of a jerk, but that doesn't mean that I get bad grades in stuff." Adrian insisted,

"Yeah whatever," Jessica said, following the instructions, and dropping an Ashwinder egg into the cauldron.

   Adrian over eagerly grabbed a handful of Rose throns, and ended up pricking himself.  Jessica shook her hand, and grabbed his hand, where he had pricked himself. She tried to get it out, but it was really sunk into his sink. It would probably require magic to get it out, and she didn't have her wand with her.

"Professor," Jessica called Snape, "Pussy — Pucey's pricked himself with a Rose Thorn."

"Idiot boy!" Snape glared at him, before taking out his wand, and taking the thorn out of Adrian's hand, who was bright red by now.

Snape rounded on Jessica, "I paired you with this dunderhead, so he wouldn't do nonsense like this!"

"I thought, you thought I was dunderhead." Jessica raised an eyebrow.

   Snape glared at her, and walked away from the table, leaving Jessica's question unanswered.

    Thankfully, the rest of the potion went well, and the class went on peacefully too — other than Snape watching them like a hawk — since Adrian was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Are you done?" Snape asked, and without waiting for an answer, got a flask out, and took the potion in it, as a sample for later.

"It's correct." he said, without looking at it.

Across the room, a Slytherin asked, "but you haven't even checked it yet, Professor."

"I think I'd know when a potion is right or not, Yaxley." Snape glared at the boy, and then turned to Jessica and Adrian, "I want you both to smell it, and tell me what scent you have."

"But, what is the need for that, when you know it's correct?" Jessica asked.

"Do as I say, Black." Snape said.

"Pucey can go first," Jessica said, and fixed the boy with a look, that made his aware that he didn't have a say in the matter.

He slowly looked over the cauldron, and took a sniff, "I smell grass, my home, and – umm . . . I don't know, some weird smell . . . metal? I don't know."

Snape turned to Jessica, and she couldn't think of am excuse now, so she gave a sigh of defeat and smelled the potion.

A beautiful scent entered her nostrils, "I smell . . . dogs . . . "

Aiden, who was sitting near her, stifled a laughter, and failed, getting a sharp look from Snape.

"and . . . fireworks . . . " Jessica turned bright red.

This time, Aiden gave a huge burst of laughter. Natalie, who had also heard, laughed out too, and Fred and George just sat there, looking confised.

"and . . . a rose."

An odd look passed over Snape's face, before it disappeared, and he checked something off of a list.

"Very well." he said, before disappearing out of view.

"Oh my goodness, this is absolute gold." Aiden clapped his hands, in front of Jessica in the room of requirememt, "I knew that George liked you for sure, but wow, you do too!"

"What are you talking about," Jessica avoided his gaze.

"Uhh, let's see. Who do we know, who smells like fireworks, and loves them too?" Aiden pretendied to think hard, "ah yes, GEORGE WEASLEY."

"We're here, for Occlumency and Legilemency classes, not your bullshit gossiping!" Jessica said.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me, you're done with Legilimency." Aiden said casually.

"Wait, really? You mean, that was it?" Jessica asked.

"That was it." Aiden agreed, "but, we need to have a little test first. Two final tests actually, before you're completely ready. First of all, Occlumency, I'm going to try to invade your mind, but you're going to block me, got it?"

"Got it," Jessica said and prepared herself.

"One . . . two . . . three, go!"

Jessica thought of nothing but black, white and grey. Black, white and grey. Black, white and grey. Black, white, and grey. Black, white and . . . grey.

"Oh damn!" Aiden panted, "that was good, that was good! Okay, now, final task, invade my mind . . . without a wand."

Jessica thought of the spell, with energy in her mind : Legilemens. She failed. She tried again : Legeliemens. She was in Aiden's mind.

She got out quickly, she didn't want to invade Aiden's private thoughts and memories, when he had been respectful with hers.

"Jessica Lily Black, you are officially a Legelimens and Occlumence."
