Part 1: Strength of a Guardian
 
Chapter One: Crushes
 
Remus Lupin watched as his crush flipped through her History of Magic book. She had long jet black hair to her hips tied back in a part ponytail by a red ribbon that Remus noticed that she never took out. She was chewing on her lower lip and her lower eyes showed worry. Whatever she was looking for seemed to be out of her reach.  Getting fed up she slammed the book causing Madam Pince to glare at her.  Remus tried not to laugh as she 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. Remus who was usually good at knowing when his friends were hiding around the corner didn't seem to realize they were peeking on him today.  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. “Jessie,” Jessica heard from behind her. It was Lily Evans with a small smile on her face. “You're doing Potions right?” Jessica nodded and Lily handed her a book. “This should help.”
“Thanks, Lily.” Lily nodded and headed out of the library for peace of the six year girl dormitories. Jessica gripped her book and walked down one of the aisles of books.  Her violet eyes were glazed in thought and lost somewhere in time and space. Sadly enough, time was something that she did not have.  Unknown to the rest of the students of Hogwarts 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 Hogwarts.  It was still holiday vacation 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 was able to figure out her heritage.  Sirius about two years before the betrayal of Lily and James had gone 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 fallen 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. She had made friends with all the girls in her dorm which excluded Lily. She put the book back and decided to look at the book that Lily gave 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 scared her.
Once her heart had calmed down she smiled happily at him. Jessica was hoping for a chance to actually talk to her father and her it was.
 
“About?”  She didn't want to seem rude, but she had feeling she already knew what it was about.
 
His eyes glittered as he replied, “A friend of mine likes you.  His name is Remus Lupin. He happens to be a prefect here.” Sirius seemed to be quite happy with himself at the thought of getting one of his best friends a girlfriend.
 
Jessica already knew that Remus liked her and knew no matter what she thought she couldn't pursue this for it would mess up time. She also didn't have the time for it and knew that she could never really be herself around him.  “So?”  She made her tone hasher trying to make it seem like she didn't care even though it was far from the truth.
 
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. He wondered how Sirius was handling the exchange student. He couldn't wait until he saw his best friend on the arm of a decent girl and Jessica Turner seemed to be just that.
 
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. He wondered how they had figured it out though, but then again these were the same boys who had figured out their other secrets.
 
“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.” James held in a chuckle at his friend's face.
 
“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. There was also nothing she could do about it. Jessica gathered her books and headed up for the girl's dorm to drop off her books. Then she would head for lunch.

Lucius Malfoy watched Jessica as she walked to her house table for lunch.  Her long black hair sparkled as she tugged the red ribbon out of her hair. She folded the ribbion carefully and put it in her pocket. This was the first time in this time period that she had ever pulled it out in front of others. Lucius found that it only made her more breathtaking.  He could tell by her walk though that something was bothering her.  Looking up the table he found the Marauders, one of which, was glaring at her. “Black, I don't know what your problem is, but stay away from Turner.”
 
Jessica sat beside Lily and a couple of Lily's friends. They were just finishing eating. They liked to get there early so the marauders (James) wouldn't give Lily a hard time. Feeling someone's eyes on her, Jessica looked over at the Slytherin table to find Lucius Malfoy staring at her. “Pleeasse… Get a life, jerk.” She didn't understand why Malfoy was looking at her in the first place. “Wait…It's the same look Remus gives me sometimes.  E-wwwww!”
 
“E-www, what, Turner?” James' voice came from behind her.  He sounded angry and Jessica had a good idea why. She really didn't want to face a ticked Potter if Harry was any example of what a mad Potter could do. She had never really seen Harry angry, but she heard what he did to Dumbledore's office.
 
She wanted to ignore him, but she figured it would make him worse so she turned to face him.  “Malfoy is e-ww, Potter. He keeps staring at me.”  James' eyes flicked over to where Malfoy was sitting and then turned back to her a dark look in his hazel eyes.
 
“You two would probably make a good couple,” James said with venom catching Jessica off guard.  She glared in reply as he started to walk away from her.
 
“How dare you!” She hissed giving him a deadly look making him turn back toward her.  He looked like he was close to cursing her.  It seemed to make him take a step back when he saw tears in her eyes.  He sneered at her thinking the tears were just for show.
 
“You have no reason to cry, Turner.” His hazel eyes had become cold as ice.
 
“I have plenty to cry about, Potter.  You have no idea about what's going through my mind.  I may like Remus-” Jessica immediately shut up after realizing what she had said.  James stared at her for a moment letting her words sink in and then a grin spread a crossed his face. “I shouldn't have said that I…I…I”
 
 James put his right hand on her shoulder still smiling at her making her gulp in surprise.  “What are you afraid of Jessica?”
 
The question caught her so off guard she wasn't sure how to response and with each passing second James' grin grew wider if that was even possible.  She looked at him like she had been doing something she should have never done.  Still grinning like a maniac he went back to the other Marauders.  “Great.  Why does life have to be so confusing? And what do I do now?”
 
Remus, Sirius, and Peter watched as James came from a heated talk with Jessica a grin across his gorgeous features.  “What did she have to say, Prongs?” Sirius asked the moment he sat down.
 
“Good news, Moony, old boy.  She does like you, but she's just to shy to say it.”  James sat back to watch Remus' face as the news hit him.  For the first time since the full moon his face broke into a grin, an honest grin. 
 
“How did you to get that out of her?” Peter asked; glad to see his friend finally happy.
 
“Actually I think she let it slip by accident because she looked upset at herself.  I don't know why, but she seemed to clam up after she said it.” James now had a confused look on his face.
 
“Maybe she is scared about her own feelings toward Moony and needs a little push,” Sirius raised an eyebrow at James with a wicked grin.  James getting the idea also started grinning back at Sirius with crazy things to get Jessica and Remus together.
 
 Remus' voice cut through their thoughts. “Don't even think about trying to play match maker you two. Let the rest to me.  I think I can handle this better than you.”  James and Sirius nodded even though they didn't look too happy about the idea of not helping their friend.
 
Smacking Sirius, James exclaimed, “I just remembered something Jess told me.”
Sirius grumbled, “You're suppose to hit yourself not me when you remember something imporant.” But no one was paying attention to him.
 
“Malfoy's after her, Remus.  He could be major trouble especially if he goes after her.” Remus' eyes turned dark and none of them had to ask what that meant. The four boys watched as Jessica stood up to go back up to the tower and saw Malfoy also standing up.
 
“What's that git up to?” James wondered aloud.
