I ish NOT happy right now! The original computer I had this chapter on, got a frickin VIRUS! And I lost my almost completed chapter.
Also, I got writer's block, and had to do a MAJOR T/S from where I put the original chapter…
Sorry for the late update, but I have been UBER busy. Also, if you want to join my Bleach Rp forum, I would greatly appreciate if you did! Most of the cannon charries are open!
And now, the chapter is around the time that Justin and Nearly-Headless Nick get attacked.
…
I sat upright in my bed, breathing heavily, a hand on my hand. The same dream…
"Jade, you alright?" Toshiro asked, looking in the window. I looked past him, the sun was already up, and it was snowing terribly hard out there.
"I'm fine." I stood, grabbing the cloak that Severus had let me borrow off of the table, and slipped it on, walking out to Toshiro.
"You really shouldn't stay out in the snow like this," I said, walking over to him, sitting by him, and slipping part of the cloak over him, "It's not good for you."
"It's even worse for you, you're still healing."
"Leave it alone, would ya? I'm FINE." I sighed.
"You always say that. Now, this time, will you actually tell me what the dream was about?"
I shook my head.
"Ok then…" Toshiro sighed, shaking his head.
"Well, I'm off to visit Hagrid!" I announced, standing, securing my cloak back.
"Jade-oh no you don't-"
"Bye Shiro!" I stuck my tounge out, and flashstepped.
I pulled my hood over my head, walking part of the way.
You refuse to stay put.
He refuses to let me out of his sight, both of them.
They have a solid point, you know.
But they-
Yes, I know. Anyways, have fun. I'm going back to sleep now.
I sighed, knocking on Hagrid's door.
"Heller-oh, it's you, Jade. Come on in." Hagrid said, opening the door.
"Thanks," I said, walking in, "How've you been-HOLY KAMI WHAT IS THAT!?" I exclaimed, pointing to a bloodied mass of feathers on the table.
Hagrid chuckled, "Second one this term, somethin's killin them. I was gonna go to Dumbledore to ask if I could use a charm to protect 'em."
"I can…attempt…to use a spell?" I shrugged.
Hagrid smiled, "Thanks for the offer, but Imma do it myself. You can come with, though."
I nodded, "I haven't seen Fawkes in a while!"
"Alrigh' let's go."
He grabbed (to my disgust) grabbed the dead chicken off of the table.
"Ewewewew…" I muttered, and he just chuckled.
A few minutes after we had entered the castle, I spotted Harry.
I crept up behind him, then tackled him in a hug, "Hiya bro!"
He turned around, "Oh, hi, Jade, and Hagrid. What's with the dead rooster?"
"Second one killed this term. He's going to ask Dumbledore if he can use a charm to protect them. Hagrid, you can go ahead, I'm going to walk a bit with Harry since I have the chance, and Hitsugaya's not going to be on my tail about it!"
Hagrid nodded, and set off to Dumbledore's office.
"You alright, Harry?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. You'd better go, I have Transfiguration next, and I have to pick up my books-"
"Harry, I'm your sister."
Harry shrugged as we rounded a corner, and then we froze.
There lay on the floor, a boy, and hovering beside him was Nearly-Headless Nick.
"Nick!" I breathed, walking over to him, placing a hand over him.
He felt like he was frozen…
"ATTACK! ATTACK, NO MORTAL OR GHOST SAFE! ATTACK!"
I whipped my head up, hearing many doors slam open, "Harry! I'm supposed to be dead, they can't see me like this!"
"Go!" Harry hissed.
I shook my head, "I have a better idea." I switched to my Animagius form, a small, black dragon, and curled around his midsection, hidden by his dark colored shirt and cloak.
Harry jumped slightly in surprise.
A crowd came rushing in, and I tightened my hold on him.
McGonagall came as well, and stared to lead Harry to Dumbledore's office, and unknowingly me.
She opened the door to the office, and told Harry-us-to wait there, and left him.
"You can come out now." Harry said, and I flew away from him, changing back in mid-air, and landed on the ground safely.
I walked over to the shelf where the Sorting Hat was, reaching a hand out to it, "I wonder…"
"What House you would be in?" Harry finished for me, "Dumbledore's not here, you might as well try."
I nodded in agreement, taking the Hat off of the shelf, and slipping it on my head.
"Ah, Jade Lillian Potter, I was wondering if I would get to see you." A small voice said in my ear, "I've always wanted to sort a Shinigami…"
"Wait-what-what d'you mean?! You know about Soul Reapers?"
"Yes, but the last time I saw a Shinigami was before the First Wizarding War…"
"Anyways…" I coughed, "Would you mind telling me-"
"Your House you would have been in?" The Hat finished for me, "You might want to sit down."
I gave a confused mental image to him, and sat down on the floor, and before I knew it, I was in my Inner World.
"Jade…Why is there a hat in here?" Sono Chi Aka Yuki said, and poked it with a claw.
"Watch where you're poking!" The Hat protested, and transformed into a human form…wait a second here…the-he's-Hat-WHAT!?
The…Hat…now have black hair down to his shoulders, brown eyes, dark coloured skin, and seemed to be in mid-thirties.
"How-" I started.
"It's been awhile since I've been in this form-my god why is it so cold here?" The….Hat….complained.
"Because I have an ice-type Zanpakuto, now will you answer my question?"
"Ah, yes. You're different than your brother in many ways, mostly in the way you were brought up. From what I can see of your memories, you grew up in the Rukon district, one of the harshest, and you used your slyness and cunning to survive. But yet you have the wisdom of a Ravenclaw, and yet again the bravery of a Gryffindor. Not to mention loyalty. Do you have a preference?"
"Wisdom I might add she learned from me!" Sono Chi Aka Yuki gave a dragon smirk.
"HEY!" I protested, then turned back to the Hat-Turned-Person, "No, I don't."
The Hat gave a thoughtful look, "You also speak Parseltounge, like your brother."
"That I did not know…" I said, and then my Inner World disappeared before my eyes.
"Then it best be Slytherin." The now-once-again-Hat said, and layed dormant again.
"So…you're a Slytherin." Harry said, looking at me as I set the Hat back.
I nodded, "Yeah, I speak Parseltounge, too."
Harry nodded, then his eyes went wide, and he backed away from me, "It all makes sense…" he murmered, "Y-You're the heiress of Slytherin….!"
My eyes widened, "Harry-!"
"You're the one who's been petrifying the students!"
"Harry, please-!"
"You...framed me!" Harry said in disbelief.
"Harry, please, you're just confused-" I pleaded, backing away towards an open window. Before he could say anything else, I went back into my dragon form, flying out of the window.
I flew until I got to the Forbidden Forest, landing in a tree. I didn't go out of my black dragon form, I just stayed there, Harry's words running again and again through my mind. I never though the day would happen when Harry would accuse me of such a thing… How could he even think that?!
Sono Chi Aka Yuki, for once, had nothing to say, she was as shocked as I was.
I didn't know how much time had past, but I heard a voice calling out my name.
"Jade! Where the hell are you?!" I heard Toshiro exclaim. I lifted my head slightly, letting out a small plus of reiatsu, making him turn him head towards me. I flew down to him, changing back, to be immeaditly smothered in a hug.
"God dammit, you scared the hell out of me, it's too cold for you out here!" Toshiro said, "Why were you out here?"
"It's nothing," I said, looking away from him.
Toshiro sighed, "Whatever you say, now come on, let's get inside. Snape's been worried as well."
I just nodded, and we headed back.
I couldn't help but wonder…
If Harry was the Heir of Slytherin.
