Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any other character except Jade. I'm not making any money and I'm just doing this because I'm really bored and for fun.
(AN: Jade is the same age as James Potter and has known Harry since his 2nd year.)
Sorry Ch.1
(jade's POV)
I walked into the great hall earlier than the students, so that i would get a chance to talk with the headmaster when half way to the teacher's table I finally notice Snape standing infront of three hooded figures, I stopped in shock and slowly turned to see Voldemort.
-The Dark Lord here at Hogwarts! Impossible!- I thought.
Quickly, I dropped to my knees not knowing what else to do
"My Lord?" I said.
"Jesslynn..." Voldemort said.
As he placed two fingers under my chin and lifted my head up,
"Arise..."
Slowly I got off my knees and looked down at once.
-SHIT!- i think as i see harry just walk through the doors with his friends
"My dear Jesslynn, you need not to bow to your father."
my eyes open wide, He didn't just say that. I chance a glance at Harry and saw eyes full of hatred for me.
"Come and stand beside me where you belong." He hissed to me.
Once at his side a deatheater draped a cloak of black velvet over me. My eyes are cast down in guilt because Harry had to find out that I, Jesslynn or Jade as I better known as, am the daughter of his enemy. I can only imagine the betrayal he must feel now. Oh how I wished to tell him I am on his side.
Another glance...the three had moved to the farthest edge of the great hal. harry infront of his two friends as if to protect them, his wand ready to attack if need be
-Harry- I think as hard as I can -Please believe me I am on your side not his-
but its no use he can not read my mind or look in my eyes. He has eyes on the other deatheaters that are waiting for the order to attak. I barely hear my father call to me. He wants me to come with him. i know that if i refuse he will kill me here and now, but if i can get the protection spell out before that, i can at least keep the students safe...
"No father." I say in a soft voice.
He turns to me, my mind races with the words of the spell over and over waiting for him to cast the killing curse
"What was that?" he asks.
My body is shaking badly, every fiber in my being is screaming form ne to run but i hold my ground
"I said no. I am not leaving Hogwarts," my voice is filled with courage that I didn't have.
Fury filled his eyes, i can hear the students outside the great hall screaming and running.
"HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED IS IN HOGWARTS!" was being screamed
"Then you have dug your own grave," was all he said and with a flash they and snape were gone
I stand there in complete shock. Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder, and turn to find Dumbledore at my side.
"it wasnt him was it" i asked
"no my dear, it was only a image casted by his followers" Dumbledore said. "Jade if you would be so kind as to wait in my office."
A simple nod was all I could manage at the moment, and left. The students that crowded around the entrance parted as i walked thru, i didnt even try to look at harry.
"That was a very admirable thing you did awhile ago. Standing up to your father like that." he said entering
I look up at him and raise an eyebrow
"Admirable or stupid?" I countered "besides it was never him"
Dumbledore sits at his desk examining some muggle candy.
"That Jesslynn is in the eye of the beholder" he answers. I wince as he uses my real name. The name my father gave me... "and you did not know that when you declined him"
-it doesnt matter if it he was or wasnt real. i will never be trusted again by either side-i think sadly
"and what the few students that was there saw will be no more than rumors by weeks end"
My temper is at its boiling point by now.
-How is it that he can seem to read my thoughts no matter how i block them- I think as I stare at the old man, again thinking of how the order will salvage the situation
"Jesslynn..." the headmaster starts
"No don't you dare call me that again!" I yell at him "I hate that name!"
He sighs and starts again
"Jade I know you wondering about my reaction to this...situation." He continues after I nod "I have been worried about where your loyalties lie, in the Order or with Voldemort."
I'm stunned at what he said
"How could you even think that!"
"Well your attitude toward him has changed greatly..."
"Headmaster I was only acting my part as a spy. Do you really believe that I could be loyal to the man who killed James and lily? The same man who's fault it is the Sirius is dead!" I yell
I can see that he regrets what he said.
"... if you can be so kind as to forgive an old man of his foolishness?"
"Its not foolishness to want to protect the Order and the students." I sigh "But it was to think that I would freely want to be at my father's side."
A silence falls over us.
"now what of harry" I ask
"Tell him the truth" he said simply
"That's the last thing I want him to know" I mutter and look away. Turning back to the headmaster with tired eyes "if that is all..."
"No... there is one other thing that needs attention..."
"And that is...?
"Since Severus has left with Voldemort a replacement is needed for his classes"
"What does that have to do with me..." realization hits "no I can't teach Potions"
"You are the only one with the skills to handle the classes"
"You could find any one else?... " he shakes his head
"not at this short notice"
"Fine I'll take over the classes"
I make my way down to the dungeons. By time I reach the potion's room all the students are there (First year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw). The students gasp in shock, even with the heamaster's reassuence they will still believe what they heard from the students that were in the great hall. By midday I look at the schedule to see the next class is 6th year Griffendor and Slytherin. I take a breath and lay out the ingredients for the potion they are to make. The moment Harry walks in I can see he wished he hadn't as do many of the other students.
"the aging potion..." the class begins
At the end of the class I ask Harry to stay after. We wait for the last of the students to leave the room, Hermione and Ron stay close to the door incase harry should need help.
"Harry I just..." I started out.
"Why didn't you tell me you are Voldemort's daughter!?" Harry yells and raises his wand.
"Harry, I just thought it better if I didn't mention that part of my life..."
"That part of your life? You make it sound as if its something you can forget!"
"And everyday I wish I could forget"
I go to sit on a desk and look at Harry, his wand still out and pointed at my throat
"Well, you know now...now what?" I ask not even trying to protect myself
he walks to a desk across from me with his wand still in hand.
"...so then you're not trying to kill me?" his voice uncertain
"No Harry I'm not. Just the opposite I promised your father that I wouldn't let anything happen to you and I plan to keep that promise."
"..." Harry lowers his wand and looks at the floor
more later maybe once finals are over...once iwrite more of the story you'd find out more about jade. and the relationship between Jade and Harry
