"Wake up! Wake UP!" Ron's voice sliced through Jade's thick sleep and Jade jerked awake inside but opened one eye.
"What?" she asked seeing Ron hover over her, looking dead impatient.
"Where are my homework's?" Ron asked. Jade closed her eye but suddenly felt Ron's strong arms shake her awake. "Where is it?" he asked turning red.
Jade opened her eyes and pointed to a few rolls of parchment near her. He turned his head to her pointed direction and threw her back on the sofa. He bent over and picked his homework's up. He read through a few and looked up. "Did you make it sound like I wrote it?" he asked and Jade nodded, rubbing her head. She never had a good night's sleep since this year started. She was up all night trying to study for her classes and doing homework for Ron.
Sometimes Ron would make her do Harry's homework but Harry would be sympathetic and refuse for her to do his homework; so she did Ron's. Hermione knew all of this was going on, but the first time she said anything against her boyfriend, she would be shut down by him, completely. He couldn't bully Hermione around but he made sure that Jade was there to finish his assignments, because she never had a say in anything.
"Yes." Jade said quietly. Ron said nothing; he just got up and left. Jade checked the time and her eyes popped open. It was 10 minutes until her first class started. She gathered her things and ran upstairs to her dormitory where no one was seen. Everyone was either in breakfast or waiting for their first class to start, for Jade, she had Potions to worry about. Jade panicked, brushing her hair. It took 20 minutes to reach the dungeon and 10 if she ran.
Hoping that the Head Boy and Head Girl weren't in the hallways patrolling, Jade would reach her Potions class just in time, if not, a few minutes late. Jade ran down the steps of her dormitory, through the common room and out of the Fat Lady's portrait. She streaked through the halls and made sharp turns and to her luck, no one was in the hallways. As Jade ran down a flight of stairs, she secretly hoped that Snape would be delayed for only a short amount of time, just in time for her to reach class without any penalizations.
Reaching the foot of the stairs, Jade turned to run down the dungeon halls but slammed right into the back of someone. Rubbing her shoulder Jade did not stop, but took a quick glance at who she bumped into.
"You there...STOP!" Malfoy's voice rang out. Jade groaned inwardly. She did not need this right now. She stopped, a few yards from him and saw a little boy standing near Malfoy, looking terribly fearful. Obviously Malfoy had no one better to bully around. He saw the person who bumped into him turn and smirked evilly. "Why, if it isn't the Weasel running around in the corridors."
Jade couldn't say anything to defend herself. She never defended herself; she never had the backbone to. Whenever someone would viciously attack her, she'd feel as if her tongue knotted in her mouth and her mind go blank. She admired people that would stand up for themselves and in very rare times, people that would stand up for her; like Harry, but she couldn't fight or speak back for the life of it, that's why she always wrote.
"How many points should I take off today? What's wrong with you? Mute? Stupid? What are you going to write in the Newsletter this week Weaslette? How you were defenseless in front of a Head Boy?" he asked viciously. Jade wondered what the time was, how much time she was wasting standing around, listening to someone like Malfoy.
Jade saw the little boy try to slip away and when he went to make a run for it, Malfoy turned around and shouted for the boy to come back, instead, the little boy shouted a spell that made Malfoy's arms turn to jelly and sprout new jelly arms...like the loch in the lake. With this thought, Jade turned around and ran.
Jade reached the Potions classroom and opened the door. She walked in and saw the entire classroom turn their heads, looking at her. Professor Snape stood in front of the class, looking at her too and Jade flushed. "If it isn't our fashionably late journalist, Miss Weasley." Snape mocked. "Any reason why you've been late?" he snapped and Jade shook her head. "10 points from you. Approach here and hand in your homework. Jade walked up but handed nothing in. "Where is it?" he asked, an eyebrow rose. He loved to do this to her. It was very rare of her to hand in any overnight assignments. "Well?" he asked, his voice rising. "I...I don't have it." Jade said burning with shame.
She couldn't bear to turn around and look at Ron, who was probably sitting there in anger, for humiliating him to have a sister like her, in happiness because she was about to be seriously punished or smirking like Malfoy, because of her humiliation. Jade wondered how Harry looked right now. Thinking of him made Jade close her eyes, trying to stay calm.
"20 more points from you and see me after class." Snape said through his teeth. Jade nodded and sat down to the nearest chair. A Hufflepuff moved away from her, making a face as if she'd just seen something hideous and Jade apologized, putting her head down. After that embarrassing scene, Snape started to ask questions about the homework. Jade raised her hand to every single question and everyone looked at her with curiosity.
The bell rang and Snape once again reminded Jade to stay back. When everyone had left, Snape sat there, holding a piece of paper. "It's a bit strange to see someone answer every homework question correctly, with such preciseness and not write it down on a piece of paper. It's strange to think of a talented mind in Potions fail because they never do the homework. What's even more disturbing to see is that their thickheaded brother pass and finish overnight assignments and completely fail in class assignments? It's all a bit odd isn't it? I'm sure Ronald Weasley is an expert making the Elixir to induce euphoria. He and Hermione Granger are the only two people who have correctly written this down...and you have orally presented this potion, step by step without having to look in your notes." Snape told her.
Jade blushed and looked down and Snape handed her the paper. "Tell the truth, who had done Ronald Weasley's homework?" he asked. Jade didn't speak and Snape repeated again, this time, threatening detention.
"Ronald Weasley has done his own homework sir." Jade replied. Snape's expression faltered and he pointed to the door.
"Get out." he ordered. Jade nodded and left feeling incredibly guilty. She had nothing to give the rest of the classes and knew how disappointed her Professors were because of what she did. Only Snape had suspected her of doing Ron's homework and the rest thought she was just being lazy.
Jade took a visit to the Astronomy Tower after all of her classes and sat down watching the sun set, the colors reminding her of a sorbet. Pink, red, orange, purple, yellow. She reached into her bag and pulled out her journal.
She wrote unofficial newsletters for Hogwarts every week. Dumbledore didn't seem to mind and neither did the staff but the students were irked by it. Jade wrote about what was in the news, and what was going on in Hogwarts. She had great pleasure to strip the people who gave her a hard time by bits and pieces and expose them to everyone in Hogwarts. She did this to most of the Slytherins who had unmercifully made her life a living hell all through these 6 years of Hogwarts.
Sometimes she'd embarrass her brother and was pleased to find out that he never read any of it, unless someone would read it for him. 'Of course, he's so stupid he needs someone to read, write and learn manners. The only thing that arse can do is eat and follow Harry's tail.' Jade thought.
"Harry." Jade said feeling a lightheaded saying his name. He never looked at her that way. Why would he, she was constantly being ridiculed by Ron in front of him, what would he do fooling around with a girl like her? He kept to himself as always and moped before Cho Chang who left a few bloody years ago. He wasn't like most boys in Hogwarts, who'd change girlfriends like they changed robes every morning. When Harry Potter loved, he loved hard. Whoever the lucky woman would be, to be in Harry's arms and love, she'd be the luckiest woman alive. Jade thought that if Harry fell in love with her one day, she would have nothing else to worry about.
He always saved her from Ron, whenever he could and Jade appreciated him for that. She sometimes thought it was love but dismissed it knowing deep down inside, he did not feel for her the way she felt for him. Jade wiped a tear and looked down to her journal, wondering what to write. A small smile appeared on her lips. Draco Malfoy had hell to pay this week.
