Jessica's pov

I was sitting next to Alice. This class we had with Gryffindor. I met Harry Potter. I still don't know what's so special about him. The professor said we're learning about the Expecto Patronum spell today

"Okay who wants to try" the professor said "come on Jessica" he said "do I have to" I said "yes please "he said and I got up" okay, all you have to do is think of something happy that happened to you then stretch out your wand and say 'Expecto Patronum' "the professor said.

" professor i don't have happy memories " Jessica said I was sad for her "how  you don't have" the professor said "my parents are each the day they cast spells on me, you see I still have wounds, even though they went to Askaban five years ago "Jessica said.

Everyone was silent. "come on try it for sure there's something" the professor said "okay" she said. She looked at me. I looked her in the eyes. She closed her eyes and said "Expecto Patronum" a blue light came out of her wand and a huge tiger formed.

Wait, what was that look supposed to mean? Am I her happy memory.

"wow miss Wilson you see there is something lucky after all" the professor said "yes, there is one memory" she said "it seems that memory has changed your life" the professor said. Jessica laughed. Now she laughed because she was happy. Her smile is beautiful.

"wait if she's laughing that" Jake said as Jessica sat down. "yes and her smile is beautiful" I said "what" Tom turned to me Draco and Blaise turned to me too "um nothing" I said "what you said" Tom said "nothing" I said and I felt Tom trying to give me it enters my mind but I blocked it. "Brother, don't try to get in my head," I said

"then say what you said" Tom said "Mr. Riddle do you want to try please" Lupine said "which Riddle" Tom said "your brother" Lupin said and I got up "so I guess you don't have happy memories either neither does Jessica but try it ”Lupine said. I sighed deeply.

Jessica went through my head. She is my happy memory. I looked at her. She is certainly my happy memory. She makes me feel that, whatever that feeling is.

I closed my eyes and said "Expecto Patronum" blue light came out of my stick and a big dragon was created

"Well done Riddle and that one of your memories has a strong impact on you and your life" Lupin said "just like Jessica" said is "I know" I said and smiled. I sat down.

"What were you thinking" Jake said "that dragon was big means it's something big" Draco said "since you have happy memories" Tom looked at me. "since ... it's none of your business," I said, thinking of Jessica.

Does she really have that kind of influence on me. What is this. Love. No no chance. I have never felt love nor will I. But what if it is.

After class ...

I wanted to find Jessica. "Alice where Jessica is" I said "probably at the Astronomy tower there she usually spends time and looks at the sky" alice said. I went to the Astronomy tower.

Jessica's pov

I was sitting on the Astronomy tower. I had my little knife because Fred hadn't returned my knife yet.

I cut my hand. I wanted to get Mattheo out of my head. My life is awful. My life is insignificant. My life sucks. I want to die.

Tears streamed down my face. I cried harder and harder. "I knew I'd find you here" I heard a voice. "Go Mattheo," I said.

He approached me. he saw my hands. "hey hey hey don't. Stop it right now" he said "no,  get out of here" i said and cried even harder. Mattheo sat on the floor next to me “please give it to me” he said and took the knife from my hand. "look at me" he said in a soft voice. I didn't look at him. He  put his finger on my chin and lifted my head.

I looked at him with eyes full of tears. "What's wrong Jess," he said. Has he called me Jess now and since when is he so soft. "my life is pure shit, I want to die Mattheo" I said and the tears started even faster with going down my face.

He hugged me. He really hugged me now. If it was someone else, I  would probably punch him in the face. But I felt like I was actually starting to calm down.

"It's not all that bad," he said. put my head on his chest "yes everything is bad, nothing nice is happening to me my life is hell" i said.

He raised my head. He wiped away my tears. Our faces were close.

The door rang. One girl came in, saw me in Mattheo's arms and immediately came out.

"don't worry" he said "let me see" he said and took my hands. He took a handkerchief from his pocket. He started to clean the blood from my hands

"I know you don't feel pain but you can't do this because you lose blood and it can be bad" he said and looked me in the eyes.

I felt like I was melting in his eyes. I felt safe. I felt happy. After many years, I felt happy.

He cleaned the blood from my hands "promise me the next time you feel sad talk to me don't do this okay" he said "I promise" I said. He smiled and hugged me again

"I didn't know you could be like this" I said "but I like this side of you" I said "I didn't know that someone who looks so cold can cry" he said and laughed "and i have feelings i just don't show them because people wouldn't understand me "i said" i know but i fully understand you and i also don't show feelings because people wouldn't understand me "Mattheo said. We watched the sunset together.

Mattheo's pov

watched the sunset. I didn't let her out of my arms. Here is another memory of mine. I remembered when Jake told me that Fred and George were important to Jessica and that she was just crying in front of them. Maybe I'm important to her too. 

I felt her fall asleep on my chest. Can a girl do something like this to me? The night has already fallen. I slowly picked up Jessica. I sucked from the Astronomy tower with Jessica in her arms her arms were around my neck. I passed a couple of people who were looking at me strangely. Does this really look so weird.

I walked past the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. Fred and George came out "Matheo?" Fred said "she's asleep" I said.

I went into Slytherin's common room. "There you are" Draco said "what's going on" Tom said and looked at Jessica "nothing, she fell asleep" I said.

I carried her to her room and lowered her to the bed. I sat next to her and looked into her face. My happy memory. I got up and went to the common room.

"now explain that" Tom said "what" I said "what did you do with my sister" Jake said. "nothing I went to the Astronomy tower and she was trying to kill herself" I said "wait what" Jake said "she said her life was awful and she wanted to die and she started crying" I said "she cried next to you " Draco said "  yes" and then I calmed her down and then she fell asleep "I said

" and that's it "Blaise said" yes "I said" since you've been so soft "Tom said" and that to the girl "Jake said "just shut up" I said
