Ok here's the fourth chapter! I haven't gotten any reviews though...eh...I figure if I keep putting out chapters that I will get at least one eventually.

Things in Jade's next class where LOADS better. The Gryffindors shared this class with the Hufflepuffs. Jade seemed to notice that the only class Gryffindor shared with Slytherin was normally potion, or Herbology. Which she seemed to have next. Luna had taken a look at the card and told her that it was exactly that. In the boys bathroom. Jade had wrinkled her nose at the idea. Though, she knew that selling products in school was against the rules anyway. So it did kind of make sense they would conduct their business in a bathroom. Jade decided to at least stop by there sometime and take a look at their little shop.

However, right now, class called her attention. Professor McGonagal wanted them to turn a pineapple into a Iguana. Jade was so nervous that she might mess up, that she didn't bother to pick up her wand. This resulting in her being paired up with the brightest student...Hermione. Jade could feel that pool of excitement. She was getting one step closer to giving Harry Potter total protection.

"What is the matter Jade?"

Jade jumped at least two feet out of her chair. Hermione had appeared at her side in a matter of seconds. Jade swallowed the nervous lump that had somehow formed in her throat.

"Well...you see...I haven't done magic a while...I'm afraid I'm a little rusty..." She muttered.

"The thing you should never do, is question your abilities as a witch." Hermione exclaimed confidently.

Jade wondered if she practiced saying that same sentence in front of a mirror. Hermione pulled out her wand, pointing it at the spiky fruit. She said the next sentence with so much confidence that it made her wonder about her own abilities even more.

"Frutacious Ignatum."

With a matter of seconds a living breathing iguanna was sitting on her desk. She smiled and looked over at Jade.

"Now you try."

Jade cleared her throat and pointed her wand at the pineapple.

"Frutacious Ignatum."

Purple sparks shot out of the tip of her wand. The pineapple morphed into a green Iguana. Though, it seemed to have a temper. Jade always expected that pineapples were angry fruit anyway. She couldn't help but feel a little proud over her victory. She smiled.

Hermione gave her a golfers clap and giggled.

"Congrats Jade! You did it!"

Jade lowered her head to hide the blush that had found it way on her cheeks. She looked over at everyone else and noticed a lot of them were having trouble. Maybe her magic wasn't so rusty after all. All of a sudden a paper bird flew through the air and landed on her desk. Jade's curiosity got the better of her and she opened it. It read:

I like the way you transfigure fruit.

Talk about being confused. Someone was awful with pickup lines.

"I like the way you transfigure fruit?" Hermione scoffed.

Shaking her head she looked at where the bird came from.

"Just like I though, from that no good George Weasley."

Jade couldn't help but squint at the pain in her chest. She looked at Hermione. George didn't seem like he was no good when he helped her up. Though...he was the one who pushed her.

"What do you mean no good?"

Class had ended by this point and Hermione was putting all her books away into her bag. She stopped momentarily to answer your question.

"He's nothing but a prankster. Gives everyone a headache. Not to mention he experiments on the first years with their new inventions."

Jade was speechless. What on earth did she mean by inventions?
Experimenting on little kids? What on earth? She shook her head, trying to dislodge any horrific images that decided to plague her mind. She didn't see George doing any of that stuff. She would ask him about it herself before jumping to any conclusions.

Hermione had already packed her bag and was out the door by the time Jade put her books in her bag. She lifted her bag onto her shoulder. She was going to get to the bottom of this. Though she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Was is possible for her to have a relationship with someone and protect Harry at the same time? She didn't know but she could try.

The halls were unnaturally quiet for just getting out of class. The hair stood up on end at the back of her neck. She kept her fingers wrapped loosely around her wand. She didn't know why she felt like she was being followed but it didn't make her happy. Her crimson eye's scanned the hallway. Not a single sould was around. Though for some strange reason it felt like all the happiness was sucked out of the world. If the situation didn't seem so serious she would think she just ran into her father.

All of a sudden things got really cold. She definitely knew something was wrong now. She was very familiar with this feeling. She lived with it for seven long years. She quickly pulled out her wand and ran to where the feeling was strongest. Her feet could be heard through the entire hallway. She reached the scene and whipped out her wand with snake like speed.

A dementor was floating over Luna. The poor girl was slumped on the cold stone floor. She was out like a light. She lifted her wand into the air, anger pulsed through her like no tomorrow. The angry of being tortured by these disgusting creatures for far to long. She was going to finally take out her hate on something worth it.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!"

A silver dragon burst forth from the tip of her wand. The silver dragon opened its jaws and a white flame burst forth, getting rid of the hooded monster. A feeling of warmth and happiness filled the halls of Hogwarts immediately. Jade ran over to Luna, she knelt down and turned her over. Luna opened her light blue hues and smiled. Jade couldn't help but laugh. Trust Luna to smile after being attacked like that.

"Lets get you to the hospital wing. "

Luna leaned up grabbing onto Jade for balance as she stood. Jade wrapped her arm around Luna's waist. They truged their way to the nurse and they both had smiles on their faces. However, when they made it, there was no more reason to smile. Madam Pomfrey was really fussy. She made Jade go to the headmaster's office. Said that she needed to learn not to tell lies about flying dementors. Though, while jade was telling her what was going on, she noticed the spike of fear in her eyes. Jade knew fear when she saw it and she was terrified. Jade couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable going to see Dumbledore. The last time she saw him it was on a very depressing note.

Jade noticed she was now in front of the Griffin statue. She couldn't but marvel at it a little. She jumped when it spoke though.

"Password?"

She lifted her hands in front of her.

"Pumpkin pastry."

With a loud groan the statue twisted and turned. A large spiral staircase could be seen. She stepped forward onto the staircase. It seemed to go on forever until she finally made it to a circular room. It was filled with all kinds of instruments. She looked at the walls around her, there were portraits of all the headmasters of the past. They seemed to go in a pattern. Gryffindor, slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw. Just like the houses. She walked over to the headmasters desk. To the right of the desk was a perch, she noticed a rather large phoenix was sleeping there. The chair turned around and Dumbledore gave her his famous crinckled smile.

"What brings you to my office Miss Winslet?"

Jade looked down at her shoes. She shuffled them on the persian rug. She lifted her head.

"I stopped some dementors and Madam Pomfrey doesn't believe me and so she sent me to you."

Dumbledore was no longer sitting behind his desk. Now he was in front of Jade, his elderly hands on her shoulders. She winced a little.

"Dementors? Are you sure? When? How?"

All the questions made Jade's head spin in circles. She couldn't help but feel a little aggravated though. She glared at the headmaster.

"No offense headmaster, but I did live with them for seven years! Yes Im sure! I took it out thirty minutes ago! Also! I dont know how!"

She huffed, her lungs expanding and deflating. Trying to catch her breath from all that yelling. Dumbledore walked over to his desk his shoulders hung. Distress was very evident in the room right now. Even the headmasters and headmistress's in the portraits seemed disgruntled. She couldn't help it that a monster seemed to make it way into the castle. Though, she couldn't help but feel as though she was at fault.

"It could only be two things."

Jades head snapped back to the headmaster. He figured it out that quickly? She was beginning to see why everyone admired him so much.

"What could it be Headmaster?"

Dumbledore turned around, he took off his half moon spectacles. Cleaning them on his long beard.

"It would seem Miss Winslet. That either the ministry is trying to make it so you would be out of my hands-"

Jade rushed over to him and grabbed him around his elderly arms. Desperation could be clearly seen in her eyes.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"

Dumbledore gently laid his hands on her shoulders once more. This time gently moving her back into a chair. Tears threatened to spill out of Jade's crimson eyes. She didn't want to go back to Azkaban. Not ever again. She didn't understand. Why would they do this?

"It would seem Jade, that the ministry doesn't like power being out of their hands. They might be doing this to make you lose sight of your job and go back. You do know you lost sight of Harry while saving Lovegood?"

Jade's heart fell. How could they possibly put her away for saving Luna just because she looked away from potter for thirty minutes? Was the ministry that power mad? Were they that blind? She would hope not. But then again they were the ones who put her in that cell for seven long years. She put her head into her hands. A feeling of dispare washed over her like a tidal wave. If the ministry was just going to dangle her freedom in her face like this...what was the point in even trying?

Jade felt a hand on her back. She lifted her tear streaked face. Dumbledore gave her another wrinkeld smile.

"Do not give up hope Jade. Without hope you are nothing."

Jade nodded. Suddenly she felt very tired. She had a very long first day at this school. Things were not like they were back home or in Azkaban. They were very strange indeed. Though, you hardly expect the norm in the wizarding world. Nothing was ever what it seemed. Jade stood up from the chair. She gave one bow to the headmaster.

"I'm afraid I am very tired headmaster. I must take my leave to my dorm."

Dumbledore only nodded. Minutes later Jade found her self sprawled across her four poster bed. She couldn't help but stay slightly awake due to her riddled mind. Things just seemed to go from good to bad in the span of ten minutes. Hopefully things would be better in the morning. Hope. That was all she had.
