1 Chapter 3

A short time later, the guys were making their way down to the common room. It was then that Jordan was reminded of an upcoming quidditch game against Ravenclaw (Jordan was the team captain for Slytherin). He sighed deeply, bidding farewell to his three friends as they headed off for a little quidditch session. He sat himself down on a comfy couch, alone in the common room for the moment, until the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs filled his ears, and Draco appears in the doorway, an overly satisfied sneer on his face as he sets his eyes on Jordan.

"Well well Jordan, who has a dirty little secret here?" Draco said in a very superior voice.

"Excuse me?" replied Jordan with a very bewildered expression on his face. "Did he hear us?" he thought to himself.

"Oh, I bet you're wondering if I heard you this morning, you should learn to be more quiet when you talk about such "important" things. I know you're a monster, and now you had better watch yourself Jordan, and do what I ask of you, or I will tell Professor Snape at once." He spoke in an even more superior tone, if that was possible, which with Draco Malfoy, it indeed was. He stuck his nose straight up in the air, with a most satisfied and haughty smirk on his face as he walked through the Common room, his eyes never leaving Jordan's slightly shocked face. "I will be watching you." He then disappeared out the door.

Jordan stared at the door for a few moments before he was greeted by a soft, sweet female voice, he turned to meet Adara's gaze. Adara had entered through a secret passage, she was about 24 years old, a teacher aid at Hogwarts, she was Snape's aid in particular. She was younger looking then her age, a tiny little frame, and was quite nice to look at in Jordan's opinion. He offered a smile as he saw her.

"'Ello Adara, how are you this fine morning?"

"Just fine, Jordan. So what was going on between you and Draco? He sounds like he's trying to blackmail you." inquired Adara, as she took a seat on the couch, smoothing her dress out, looking over at Jordan.

With a sigh he responded, "If only you knew." He then turned to her with a smile, admiring her for a moment when she wasn't paying attention.

"I've got the time." she said with a half smile as she looked at him. Rumors had been flying, and had been confirmed, that Adara was head over heels for her professor, Snape. It was a depressing thought for Jordan since he was quite taken with her.

"Ah, I don't feel like talking about it now," he replied with a sigh. "As if it isn't an annoying enough thought that he has 'dirt' on me, and every intention of using it against me."

"I understand. but have you been doing things against the rules that could get you in trouble? Because I'd have to inform the professor of that, sadly enough." She said as she looked at him in a concerned manner, she wouldn't rat him out though.

With a slight shake of his head he replied, "No, it's something I can't help, I'll handle it, but thank you Adara."

She nodded to him, reaching over somewhat reluctantly to touch his hand, "Well, mon chere, I will see you later all right?" she removed her hand as she stood, smoothing her dress down her slender shapely thighs.

He couldn't help but look her over, though hid it as he did, looking up at her "Of course, amor, bye." he too stood, and they went their separate ways.
