Ch 4 - Revelations:
That night, Jade hardly got any sleep. She was thinking so hard about what Harry had said about Draco. She had no doubt in her mind that it was true. But she would miss Draco -- as sick as it sounds, she would miss him. But then she thought harder, and she knew why he was even with her in the first place. To get the password. To harass her friends. She was just grateful that she didn't let him get that far -- he would have hurt her friends and it would have been her fault.
In the morning of Jade's sleepless night, she was eager to talk to Neville Longbottom. Maybe it was because she wanted to double check that she was thinking the truth.
"Neville? I was just wondering, what's the password?" Jade inquired.
"Billygoat's gruff. Why?" Neville questioned.
"Just checking, thanks a bunch!" Jade said, trying to maintain a cheerful tone of voice.
"Are you okay?" Neville could almost be positive that her blood was literally boiling.
"Fine, fine!" Jade said through gritted teeth, "Well, I must be off now, Ta ta!" And with that, Jade left for breakfast.
Jennie noticed that Jade was tense during breakfast. Jade insisted everything was fine. She wanted to break the news of the affair with Draco when all of her friends were together. This way she doesn't have to tell the story a million times, thus causing herself more anxiety. She told Jennie to meet her after school in a secluded hallway, and to bring everyone. Jade refused to tell her more then that, and off she went to her first period class.
When Potions rolled around, Jade had to calm herself down before all hell broke loose. She decided to tell Draco that it's over between them, when they went to get supplies for Snape. When the time came for Snape to send out the errand people, he sounded mischievous.
"Malfoy and.. hmm let's have a change today. Malfoy and Granger, go get the supplies," He simply said, and then droned on with the lesson. When they left, Jade wasn't surprised to see Malfoy with the same look he used to give her. And Hermione was looking eager and excited to go off and get supplies. Jade's heart was broken. She had all the proof she wanted to break it off with Draco. So after class, she wanted to get it over with.
Surprisingly, he pulled her to the side, in an empty hallway, and didn't even give her the chance to speak.
"Listen hun, it's not working between us. I want a relationship that I don't have to keep a secret. We just don't click! Your a worthless mudblood and I might as well be royalty. You can start kissing my feet now if you'd like," Draco snickered evily. Jade and Draco have fought before, but those were just acts. Jade was now even doubting that he was acting during those times.
Jade laughed, "Show's how much you know about me. I'm not even a mudblood! And I don't respect you for dissing them like that anyway! I should have gone with my instinct that I had about you. That you are the lieing, cheating, selfish bastard that I always felt that you were. Now you should really get out of my way, and I hope your oh-so-secretive relationship with *HERMIONE GRANGER* lasts a while too. Now scram, loser."
Jade walked away before Draco could even think of a response. She officially loathed him.
Just when she thought the worst was over and she could rest after that encounter, she couldn't. She still had to break the news to her friends by explaining everything.
Jade met up with all of her friends, Bunny, Julia, Jennie, and Ellie in the secluded hallway. She told them everything. They were shocked and appalled. But they were certainly glad that the relationship was not in effect anymore.
"Hermione with Draco??" Ellie said with a sly grin, "Are you serious? Your absolutely positive??"
"Yes, oh we must know why you seem so thrilled, Ellie?" Jennie moved closer to Ellie so she could hear her loud and clear. Jennie has been known to fail a hearing test here and there.
Ellie felt suffocated with everyone's eyes upon her. She had to get something off of her back and she had to do it now, "I like Ron!!!" she covered her face as soon as she said it.
"Geez, finally she admits to it! We've been waiting forever to hear you say that!" Julia said.
"And you're probably very happy knowing Hermione is out of the picture. Ron must want to strangle her for being with Draco--if he even knows about her and Draco.." Jennie said.
"Well then, that's you Gryffindor-peoples job now! Find out if he knows please? Oh but whatever you do, PLEASE do not tell him anything about me?? Don't even bring me up in the conversation, actually!!" Ellie said, all fired up.
"Okay," Jennie and Jade said together.
"So, you know that boy Ryan, Jade?" Julia started to say.
"Yeah? He's got some strange speaking problem," Jade said while looking puzzled, "Why?"
"No, he speaks just fine. We just wanted to know if you knew who he was," Bunny said with a grin.
"Well he's a nice boy, why don't you go out with him, Bunny??" Jade nudged her.
"NO! He's too weird for me. He's not my type at all," Bunny replied wearing a grossed out face.
"I was thinking also, I talked with this boy Neville Longbottom, he seems like such a sweetheart!! Now there's someone you should go for!" Jade persuaded.
"Are you out of your mind? Neville Longbottom! Hah Hah! He's so forgetful and clumsy and his mind is absolutely vacant," Bunny laughed at the thought of Neville and her. She thought it was the most absurd thing anyone has ever said to her.
"You don't know how he really is unless you get to know him, so don't say things like that so quickly, Bunny. He can be the man of your dreams, standing right in front of you, and you will never know because you won't give him a chance. You should just try it, you never know!"
"Oh, and what happened to the Harry Potter shtick?" Bunny added.
"Oh, well, nothing, er,"
"You like him," The group all said in perfect harmony.
"I don't know, maybe," Jade looked all glazed over, "C'mon Jennie we should get going. We have a job to do for Ellie."
Jade and Jennie were off to Gryffindor Tower. In the common room sat Ron and Harry sitting comfortably and talking. Jennie pushed Jade over to talk to them and said, "You're turn to do all the talking."
Jade walked over to them and sat down, "So, where's Hermione?"
"Dunno. Probably with that Draco Malfoy. Boy, he really makes me sick, and now she makes me sick too!" said Ron defiantly.
"Yeah, sorry to hear about that. She's so smart, she should know better. She should know better then me at least.." Jade looked at Harry, "and thanks for filling me in on the truth."
"No problem," Harry smiled.
"So I never got to talk to you about Bunny--"
"Jennie told me, but, I'm not interested. Neither is Bunny I hear."
"Oh. Well scrap that plan then. On to Neville.."
"Neville..? Are you sure?"
"It's worth a shot.."
As it was getting later and later, more and more people were leaving the common room to get to bed. Jade had a hectic day, and felt as though she was high on caffeine. She was far from ready to sleep. Soon Jennie had left, and Ron had left. It was only Harry and Jade.
It was just Harry, Harry Potter, the one who.. ohhh, saved the wizarding world a few times? Maybe it was destiny, maybe it was fate, maybe it was just meant to be! Or maybe it was just lack of sleep.. -- but for some odd reason, Harry and Jade ended up lip locking during those late hours in the common room.
After they both snapped into consciousness, they realized how tired they were, and went to bed (not with each other).
