Chapter Seven
Jade was glad that class have finally ended for the day. All through the day she had received nervous glances and stares from the students. It reminded her of her earlier years at Hogwarts when she was still Harry Potter 'the boy who lived.' She was sure that one of the reasons for the students was because of her looks. But something told her there was more to it than that. But what she was not sure. No one seemed to want to talk to her. Whenever she tried to talk to someone they would get nervous and make excuses to get away. It made her feel lonely, as when she was younger and still lived with the Dursleys.
Currently she was in the library. Over the summer holidays Jade had found a chest filled with books while she was cleaning in the basement. The Dursleys were out for the day so Jade had dragged the chest to her room. The amount of dust layering the chest showed quite clearly that these books were not used for some time, so no one would notice it missing, if the Dursleys even knew it was there. Whenever she was bored she would read one of the many novels found in the chest. She had quite enjoyed reading about heroes and heroines in made-up fantasy worlds. She read romances, mystery, crime, adventure, fantasy and sci-fiction.
Because she had no one to talk to, Jade had decided to go to the library and read. She could imagine the faces of Ron and Hermione if they knew their friend Harry was in the library, reading by choice. This thought brought a small sad smile to her face. She missed arguing with Ron and being scolded by Hermione for leaving homework to the last minute. Ron would never accept her as the old Harry with her being put into Slytherin. She looked over the rows of books and finally decided on a fantasy novel written by a muggle author. She was soon absorbed in the book and was oblivious to everything around her.
Harmione
Hermione walked through the halls with her bag slung over her shoulder, and books held in her arms. She was heading towards the library. Ron was playing wizard's chess with Seamus in the common room. She walked into the library, returned her borrowed books and looked for a table. She was about to sit down at a table when she noticed Jade sitting in a corner reading by herself. Hermione had noticed the reactions of the students when she came near them. She had often seen Jade look sad before putting up her mask whenever somebody made an excuse and fled from the green-eyed girl. She knew the reasons for their behavior. Jade felt almost unnatural. Whenever she came near students would get chills down their spines and get goosebumps. And the silver in her eyes seemed to swim through emerald green, ever changing patterns. She also moves with a grace that no ordinary human could possibly posses and an air of mystery surrounded her. The first few days, people had been distracted with Jade's appearance. Now that most have gotten sort of used to her appearance, they began to notice the aura surrounding her.
/She must be lonely \
Hermione sat down across from Jade. The girl didn't seem to notice her. Hermione took her homework from her bag and started on her Transfiguration. When she finished she looked at what Jade was reading. She was surprised to find the Slytherin reading a muggle book. The book had a red serpent on the cover.
"I never thought I would see a Slytherin reading a muggle book"
The girl jumped and dropped her book. She blushed a little and picked up her book." Sorry, didn't see you sitting there" Jade mumbled. Hermione smiled ignoring the strange feeling she was getting from the girl. Jade laughed softly "I'm probably the only Slytherin you would ever see reading a muggle book." She said grinning slightly. "You like fantasy?" Hermione asked. "Yes, it's most interesting what different world and creatures the muggles come up with, especially when it include wizards and witches." Jade replied, "Wizards casting Abra Kadabra, and evil witches kidnapping little children, living in spooky mansions." Hermione giggled as Jade waved her hands and changed her voice for emphasis and Jade grinned. The two girls continued to talk about books and ideas till it was time for dinner. The two girls walked to the doors of the hall.
Jade sighed, "Time to put the mask back up." She said dryly. "Thank you Hermione" the green-eyed girl said and walked into the hall, head held high. Hermione waited a minute before she too walked into the hall and sat down next to Ron at her house table. Both girls had agreed to meet again in the library. Their friendship was better left unknown, as Jade would surely be ripped apart by the other Slytherins for befriending a mudblood Gryffindor. She looked over at the Slytherin table once before she turned her attention to the conversation at hand. She still wondered why Jade's eyes were so alike to Harry's.
