A/N: A new Chapter, one that I have forgotten that I have written. I had to read the story over again to remember everything, so that I could try and write another chapter. Today I looked back at the date I first published this fic and was shocked to find it about over a year ago. Never knew time to fly by so quickly. Anyway you know the procedure, R&R.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me, and I shall never dream of calling it my own. Some things in the story are mine and mine alone.

Chapter Eleven
Madam Pomfrey clicked her tongue as she examined Draco's foot. How'd you break it, she asked absentmindedly. "We had an accident" was all answer Jade gave smiling down at Draco. When she had brought him in she had casually dropped Draco on the bed and went in search for the nurse. Draco said nothing as he glared at Jade. They had left quite a few people giggling and goggling on the way to the Infirmary. Draco carried by a girl was not a common sight. Madam Pomfrey finished healing Draco's foot and turned to talk to both of them. Draco will have to stay off his foot till Monday. Turning on her heel Madam Pomfrey left.
Jade sighed. "Since it's my fault, I'll have to nurse you back to health" Jade said a bit too cheerfully. "No" Draco hissed glaring back at her. Jade laughed "You look so cute doing that" she told him, watching him blush. "Want me to carry you again?" Jade asked sweetly. Horror filled Draco's eyes as he practically jumped of the bed. "I'll take that as a no" Jade moved to open the door for the limping Draco." This is all your fault and you come off without any injuries" Draco muttered, scowling darkly at the slytherin girl.
Jade casually walked beside Draco, watching him out of the corner of her eye. Draco stumbled and Jade quickly caught him. When he was steady she let him go again. "You sure you don't want me to carry you?" she asked innocently. "Look, I don't want you to carry me so shut up!" he yelled. Jade just smiled and walked on. It was fun ruffling the little birds feathers. She paused and pondered on the term she had used. It fitted in greatly with her current state, which included the cat ears and tail. So she was the feline out hunting the birdie. She felt a sly grin form on her lips. She was looking forward to the little chase.
Draco almost fell over when Jade bumped into him. She blinked in surprise as she noticed that they had reached the slytherin dorms. She looked back at a scowling Draco. "Watch where you're going Embers!" Draco growled. Jade just smiled charmingly at him and entered the common room.
Draco stumbled into the room. He glared at Jade's back as she fell into the green sofa and stretched. She let out a contented sigh. As Draco turned to go to his dorm he paused. He had been sure that he had seen a white tail where Jade was sitting. When he turned back to where he thought he'd seen the tail, there was nothing there. He dismissed it from his mind as unimportant and stormed as best as he could to his bed.
Jade sighed in relief as Draco stormed off, half-limping. She had for a moment forgotten about her tail. She had quickly hid it when Draco had turned around to stare at her. Frowning Jade wondered once again about her condition. It was great not being 'The Boy Who Lived', although she did miss her friends in Gryffindor.
Suddenly restless Jade got up from the comfort of the sofa and headed out of the Common room into the hall. She decided to go to the library to see if Hermoine was there. Distracted Jade began to sing under her breath "Helian awluh gi Helian mora, Un dainti eurn, Lei morai wastan awluh.." *
Jade paused as she heard the words come from her mouth. The words she did not understand, and the more she tried to remember the words she had sung, the more the words faded from her. Frustrated, Jade gave up on remembering as she entered the Library. A few students were scattered around, doing homework and various other things. Jade spotted Hermoine at a far end, but felt reluctant to go over to her friend, as Hermoine was busy helping Ron with homework.
Suddenly feeling terribly nervous Jade hid behind a bookshelf trying to get herself together. Taking a deep breath Jade peeked out from behind the bookshelf to find herself staring into a tanned face. Cobalt eyes stared back at her, the face's mouth curling slightly as if to indicate a smile. Jade felt her cheeks light up in embarrassment as Valenie stared questioningly down at her. "Why are you hiding?" Valenie asked the embarrassed girl. "I wasn't hiding!" Jade hissed insulted. "Oh?" Valenie turned and looked in Hermoine's direction before turning back to Jade. Jade could feel her cheeks getting even warmer.
"You like him?"
The question confused Jade. "Like who?" she asked. Valenie sighed. " The Weasley boy" Jade felt her eyes go wide. For a good few minutes Jade couldn't say a word. "No!" she nearly cried out. How could she like her best friend Ron? The thought of her and Ron together was altogether strange. Valenie stared at her before shrugging and turning away. "If you say so" Valenie gathered her books from the table near the shelf Jade had been hiding behind and walked out of the Library head held high as most Slytherins did. If she had turned around she would have found a fuming girl glare daggers at her. And if she had she might also have noticed that Jade's eyes turned completely silver.

* a language I made up. Not the best but it will do for the story. I won't tell you what it means yet!
