My first fanfic, please be nice.

I do not own Harry Potter. Jade Mai, Mikki Song, Elizabeth Aaira, and Isabella Amherst are mine, however. :)

Enjoy.

Summary: Jade Mai had just transferred to Hogwarts, the school she had been dreaming to attend. She catches the interests of many students, however, one Slytherin prince has taken a liking in the brains and beauty. After an incident upon their meeting, Draco Malfoy requests for Jade to accompany him wherever until his injury was healed. Jade, feeling guilty, accepted. The two spend more time together than they bargained for and a certain Pansy Parkinson becomes jealous at their relationship. Mishaps occur and rumors are spread; will their bond stay the same?


Jade Mai sat quietly in the empty compartment on the Hogwarts Express, already changed into the school's required uniform. Today was going to be her first day at the school and she was excited, yet nervous. Jade would've entered Hogwarts when she was eleven like everyone else, but her parents decided to make her suffer and delay her enrollment.

The girl could feel eyes on her, so she turned her attention to the outside world. Jade was a beautiful girl, but she was clueless when people gave her compliments and confused at why they always gawked at her.

She had silky, jet-black hair that waved down to her waist. Her eyes were almond-shaped slits that were filled with emerald green hues. Her skin was milky and slightly tanned, almost flawless. Jade had a lip ring and a small mole next to her right eye. She was rather short for a fifteen year old, standing at four foot eleven since the fourth grade. She was slender with a curvaceous figure, a body of an athlete. However, with her appearance nearly perfect, Jade still finds her beauty to be average.

As she watched the outside world fly by her, Jade started to doze off. The peacefulness of the ride had caused to get sleepy, something that had always happened to her during long trips. Jade stayed asleep until the train came to a stop, causing her to wake.

Her eyes fluttered open, revealing her innocent green hues. She looked out the window to find a large castle before her – Hogwarts. Excitement and anxiety began to build in her quickly as she grabbed her belongings, rushing out of Hogwarts Express.

"We're here!" She exclaimed quietly as she ran down the steps. Jade took a deep breath of the fresh air, glad to finally be on her feet. She collected her trunks and the rest of her belongings and followed the first years as they were guided to the entrance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Jade Mai?" Someone called out, "Jade Mai?"

Someone had been looking for her. Jade turned around to see who it was; it was a lady with a strict outer appearance in a cloak and a witch's hat. Jade approached her rather shyly, her hands behind her back.

"Um, I'm Jade Mai," she said in a sweet yet timid voice, waving at the lady.

The elderly woman smiled, clasping her hands. "Oh, splendid! You're the transfer student!" She exclaimed, but didn't look as excited as she sound. "I'm Professor McGonagall and since it's your first day and you'll be enrolling as a fifth year, you'll be sorted into your house after the first years. I hope that's okay with you," she informed, her wrinkly face staring down at her.

Jade nodded her head, a nervous smile playing on her lips. "Of course, it's not a problem. Thank you, Professor."

Professor McGonagall smiled in return and that patted her shoulder. "Well then, we must get going. You'll be following the first years," she said and walked off, sticking her pointy nose in the air as her heels clicked against the concrete surface.

"O-okay," Jade followed her, trying to keep up with the professor and the first years.

They were led into the Great Hall in a moment's time. The Great Hall really spoke itself, Jade thought; it really was grand. There were massively long tables, one for each house and the staff and faculty. Professor Dumbledore was noticeable with his long white beard and wrinkled face standing behind the podium as he smiled at the incoming students.

When Jade and the first years were settled in, Professor Dumbledore clanked his spoon against his glass cup to get the student body's attention. It didn't take long for the students to settle down, and when they did, Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat rather loudly. He had a smile on his face that caused more wrinkles that he had already had.

"Welcome," he started off, lifting his arms to greet the new and old students, "the professors and I hope to have another wonderful year with you, here at Hogwarts and we hope that the new students enjoy their stay as well. The sorting of houses will start shortly," he finished.

Jade looked around the Great Hall in amazement. It was decorated elegantly with lovely tapestries and the room was lit brightly with hundreds of candles. Out of nowhere, she heard loud booming voices. Jade was surprised when she had seen four ghosts float joyfully into the Great Hall. Jade watched them as they floated towards their house table; the Fat Friar to the Hufflepuffs' table, the Grey Lady to the Ravenclaws', the Bloody Baron to the Slytherins', and Nearly Headless Nick to the Gryffindors'. The ghosts seemed to have caught everyone's attention and the students greatly enjoyed their presence, except for a few first years that feared them.

What seemed like five minutes passed since the ghosts made their arrival and the Sorting Hat was brought out. Professor McGonagall took out what looked like a scroll of names and unrolled it. She smiled and called out the first name.

"Elizabeth Aaira," she said and a small girl walked up.

She had auburn hair and shy eyes. She looked rather nervous and fidgeted as she sat in the chair, hesitating to put the Sorting Hat on her head. Elizabeth placed the hat on her, which was too big, and it fell over her eyes.

The students waited anxiously as the hat mumbled what seemed like notes to itself. "Ravenclaw!" It spat and the Ravenclaws cheered happily for their new addition, clapping and shouting wildly.

The process continued, students being called up one by one to have an over-sized talking hat to be placed on their heads. Each time someone had been placed into a table, the Great Hall roared with joy and excitement.

Finally, there was one last student – Jade Mai.

"Now, the next and last student is a transfer student," the crowd chucked as Professor McGonagall spoke, "she'll be enrolling into Hogwarts as a fifth year," Jade felt her cheeks rise in heat as she spoke about her, "Jade Mai." The professor said, clapping with a smile.

Jade walked up slowly, all eyes on her. She knew they were gawking for she heard chattering amongst the students. Her heart raced as she sat on the stool, waiting just as Elizabeth Aaira did.

She picked up the hat from the stool and sat down; placing the dirty Sorting Hat on her head of wavy, black hair and it, too, fell over her eyes. The hat muttered something; Jade was too nervous to even pay attention to what it was saying. After a while, the Sorting Hat finally came to a decision. It opened its big mouth and spat:

"Slytherin!" And the Slytherin table roared.

Jade was slightly confused; Slytherin? How was it so? Jade was rather dumbfounded for a second, but decided to accept the fact rather than pound her head on why. She walked proudly towards the roaring Slytherins, taking a seat at the end of the table.

"Welcome," a boy greeted her and she nodded her head in thanks. A couple more 'welcomes' were received and Jade thanked them with a grin on her face.

The ceremony ended with a long speech by Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall and an introduction of the staff. Not long after did food start to appear out of thin air, slowly filling the once empty tables.

"Enjoy your feast!" Professor Dumbledore concluded, sitting back down in his seat.

Jade's eyes widened, "Wow…" she muttered as she stared at the delicious food. However, the Slytherin newcomer didn't feel as hungry as she thought she was. She looked around; all the students were engulfed in chatter and eating. Jade sat quietly, ignoring everyone around her. Her tongue fiddled with her lip ring as she looked around the Great Hall.

"Hello," someone tapped her on the shoulders, startling her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," the girl smiled sweetly at Jade, holding out her slender hands. "I'm Isabella Amherst. I'm also a fifth year here."

"Oh," Jade smiled with relief and took the girl's hand, "I'm Jade Mai and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Isabella took the available seat next to her, her oak brown eyes shining. Isabella was a pretty girl, Jade thought. She had auburn hair like Elizabeth's, but hers was short with tight curls. Her eyes told everyone that she was outgoing and incredibly friendly, something Jade liked in a person. She had a feeling that they were going to be spending a lot of time together.

"Would you like me to show you around after dinner?" She asked with her sweet smile playing on her lips. It was hard to believe someone as friendly as Isabella was a Slytherin, or maybe Jade just overlooked them.

"That'd be great!" Jade exclaimed with a grin.

The two started to talk endlessly about different things like where they were from and what they liked to do. Isabella and Jade got along great and it turned out they had almost all the same interests. Both of the girls loved to read and Isabella planned to take Jade to Hogwarts' library when she toured her around the castle. Jade had also requested if Isabella would help her find her classes and she accepted without hesitation.

Out of nowhere, a few more students became interested in Jade and asked her all sorts of questions. People came up to her and asked her about herself; Jade didn't mind at all. She got to know a few students and made new friends. Before she knew it, dinner was over and it was time for Isabella to give her a tour of Hogwarts. She showed her places like the Astronomy Tower and the Slytherins' common room. She helped her find her classes and showed her the library, where they both agreed to meet in after class tomorrow.

At the end, they traveled back to the Slytherins' common room.

"Thank you so much for showing me around," Jade thanked Isabella with a hug, "I really appreciate it."

Isabella smiled gleefully, returning her hug. "It was my pleasure!"

Jade loved the outgoing attitude Isabella displayed. The new Slytherin was happy that she made so many friends so quickly; she fitted right in. The two went up to the girls' dormitories where Jade found out she was roommates with a fifth year named Mikki Song. Isabella's room was a few doors down and her roommate was a girl named Pansy Parkinson.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast." Isabella bade her farewells and scurried off to her room.

"'Kay, see you tomorrow." Jade called after her and walked into her room; she had to unpack.

Mikki Song, her roommate, sat quietly at her own four-poster bed reading a book. She didn't seem to notice Jade, maybe because she was listening to music as well. Jade debated whether she should introduce herself or not, but she really didn't want to disturb her. She thought it'd be best if she'd just start unpacking.

"Ugh, so heavy…" Jade heaved; she couldn't believe how thick the textbooks were! "Carrying these around everyday would be suicide!"

"Don't worry, you get used to them."

Jade whipped her head around, finding a pair of blood red eyes on her.

"Hi, I'm Mikki Song," she said with a cool tone as she walked over to Jade, holding her hand out, "You must be Jade Mai. It's a pleasure to meet you."

How did she know her name? "It's nice to meet you too," Jade grinned as she got up to take her hand.

"Are you a fifth year too?" She asked her, pushing a few locks of burgundy colored hair away from her ruby eyes. She had already changed out of her uniform and wore a pair of striped pajama pants and a tank top.

Jade nodded, "Yeah. I'm a transfer," she said with a grin.

"Oh I see," Mikki nodded her head, her hands on her slender hips. "Do you need help with unpacking?"

"No, it's okay. I don't want to be such a burden to you, but thanks anyway."

Mikki chuckled and turned to walk back to her bed. "Okay then. If you need help, feel free to ask."

Jade smiled, "You betcha."

The new Slytherin devoted the rest of the night to getting her things unpacked. She changed into her pajamas and brushed her teeth after she decided to call it a night. Jade looked at her watch which read twelve; Mikki was already sleeping. Jade yawned and crawled into her new bed, her eyes closing as soon as her head hit the pillow.
