Jean Potter [Book1]

Chapter 3: Forgiveness

Dumbledore is bringing me to Hogsmade so I can speak to Severus. I saved Sev for last because he was hurt the most by my leaving. Only Lily and I were his friends and I kept James and Sirius from bullying him as much as I could. They both hated that so when I ran they made his life a living Hell and James stole Lily from even being Severus' friend. Severus is an unregistered Animagus. He turns into a Puma. His fur color is such a dark brown it looks black except in direct sunlight. Severus has agreed to come in his Puma form as I'm stuck in my Panther form. They are almost identical cats but I have barely visable black spots and he doesn't. Here he is. Wow he's gotten so big, well so have I. We both used to be house cat size now here we are in full grown size. "Hello Severus. It's great of you to come." "Jean." You sigh. "I'm so sorry Severus. I know I hurt you the most when I ran. I shouldn't have ran. I was scared, upset, angry, but most of all I was hurt. I was hurt that they did that and that you yelled at me to back off and called me a Bitch, just for trying to save you." "I'm sorry too Jean I shouldn't have called you that. The look on your face when I did still haunts me. Then you ran away and we didn't see you again. That was my biggest regret because making you leave changed the rest of my life." "Running that day was, is, my greatest regret. If James was still alive I would have to talk to him too. I'm sorry Severus, I truely am." "I am as well." "Still friends Sev? Please? I missed you." "Yes J." You smile as you're transforming back after many many years. "Ah finally, human again. Accio Wand." Your beautiful ebony wand comes to you. And you wave on some better fitting clothes than your  old school uniform. Severus  changes back too. You throw your  arms around him tearing up with how happy you are to not only have Sirius and Remus back but also being able to be human again. Not to mention having your best friend Sev back. He is shocked and awkwardly hugs you back. He probably hasn't hugged anyone since you two last hugged. You pull away. "Sorry I'm just so happy. I got my friends back and I can be human again. Also I missed my best friend." Severus nods. "I suspect you don't have a place to stay or any of your money to pay for a place?" "Correct as usual Sev. But at least I can use my wand again." "You could stay in the guestroom in my chambers back at Hogwarts if you'd like." You hug him again. "Thanks Sev that'd be great."
