Jade didn't go to two of the D.A meetings after the Quidditch match. She assumed she wasn't welcome anymore, especially when she hadn't talked to Ron during all that time and Draco's action ended up in Umbridge banning the twins and Potter from the Quidditch team forever.

"Don't be silly," Ron told her when he asked her why she hadn't gone and she explained it to him. "No one blames you for what happened. Their problem is with Malfoy and even Umbridge, but not you."

"So... your brothers don't hate me? Or Potter?"

"Why would we?" Fred said as he was passing by. "We saw and heard you trying to stop Malfoy."

"You could have used the Impedimenta charm later, though," George added. "I still had a few punches for that git."

"So, will you come tonight?" Ron asked and she nodded.

When they met later that night, Potter as usual asked them to find a partner. Jade couldn't help but run towards Zacharias and choose him as her partner, which surprised Ron and Zacharias.

As every other meeting, Potter walked between the people and explained what they were doing that night. They were going to practice two spells for about ten to fifteen minutes before learning to do a new one.

"Depulso!" Jade exclaimed as she pointed her wand at Zacharias. They weren't practicing that spell, so everyone was shocked to see the Hufflepuff sort of flying across the room and crashing against the opposite wall. Ignoring the whispers and stares, Jade walked quickly to him, and casted another spell, this time his teeth grew and she was going to do something else when Harry used Expelliarmus on her and her wand flew out of her hand.

But that wasn't going to stop Jade, she lunged at the guy and started hitting him with her bare hands. She could be a girl but she had strength and had no hesitation.

"What's going on?" Potter asked in shock as he managed to grab Jade by the waist and dragged her away. He let her go and stood in front of her so she wouldn't go after Zacharias once again, which she tried.

"Ask him," Jade told him. She didn't sound angry despite her actions showing she was furious.

Zacharias could barely speak because of the size of his teeth, but Jade knew he wasn't telling what really happened.

"This cockroach here told everyone that not only I was dating Ron," Jade spoke, making Ron go red immediately. "But that I also had flings with the twins."

"What?" Fred and George asked astonished.

"Okay..." Harry said awkwardly. "It's not nice I agree but..."

"He called me a whore, Potter! And if it wasn't for him, the three of you wouldn't have been banned from Quidditch!"

"You are crazy!" Zacharias exclaimed, getting up to his feet. "I didn't tell Malfoy to do anything!"

"Zacharias did it deliberately, I don't know why or how he knew but he did know that would make Draco go mad."

"Why would Malfoy go mad?" Granger asked and Jade cursed silently.

She bit her lip and tried to think of something to say but time was running out and she couldn't come up with a good-enough lie.

"Because he has a crush on me," Jade said quietly.

"He has more than a crush on you!" Zacharias exclaimed, his teeth had stopped growing and started to shrink thanks to Granger. "You two were kissing in the Quidditch field the other day."

Jade blushed, probably deeper than Ron. Everyone was staring at her. She took a deep breath. She didn't have her wand, which was picked up by George, but she had showed she had fists and strength. She could try to get to him, if she was quick enough and Potter slow enough to not catch her.

"See? He knew and he did it on purpose, why would he make up a lie like that without a reason?" Jade exclaimed. "And we weren't kissing!"

"Honestly, I don't see what's the big deal here!" Zacharias said. "I said that, so? I didn't think you would be banned... I only wanted her out of this group! She's a Slytherin, her parents are obviously on You-know-Who's side. I can't understand why she is here, she shouldn't be here."

"You don't know anything about her family," Fred said after a long and uncomfortable silence.

"And even if you were right, if you hadn't noticed, she's here with us now, not with them, so your point is invalid," George added.

As they didn't want to waste time, they decided to discuss the matter later and didn't allow Jade near Zacharias again. All of them went back to practicing and George gave Jade her wand back. Potter kept an eye on her the whole time.

"Look, I'm not excusing Draco's behaviour. I know he's usually a jerk to all of you, I used to be too," Jade said when only the Weasleys and Potter were left in the Room of Requirement. "But this time he was more of a jerk because of what Zacharias said. I mean... he knows I spent a few days of the summer with you and he wasn't nasty then, was he?"

"Were you really kissing him?" George asked with a wink.

"No!" Jade exclaimed, slightly blushing.

Jade kept saying no because she was scared of people finding out and eventually her parents finding out and then Cassius finding out. Not like it wasn't allowed for now but Jade knew her parents wouldn't approve.

"Do you like him back?" Fred asked.

"No."

"How do you know he likes you?" Potter asked.

"Because Blaise told me a couple of weeks ago," Jade said shrugging. "Why is everyone so interested in my love life? Do you have any more questions?"

"Did you ever like Ronnie?" Fred asked with a smirk, slightly patting Ron on the back.

"Sorry but no," Jade said flashing Ron a small smile.

"Hmm, thought you did, why would you help him practice if you didn't?" George asked.

"Did you really do that?" Potter asked, his eyes getting wide.

"Yes and I did it because I knew he was struggling a bit and I needed to practice too. Not a big deal."

"By the way, if you are indeed into redheads and sort of want to make what Zacharias said, true, then I wouldn't mind," Fred said blinking at Jade and as a nice gesture he gave her a piece of gum he got from his pocket. Jade glared at him while the other three laughed but she accepted the gum.

"You wish," Jade said turning around and left the room. Little did she know that the gum was one of the Weasley Twins' inventions.

So here I am posting again, because why not? And it's kinda short anyway.

I feel like making a video but I don't know about what or what song... But I have like the urge.

Between if anyone was wondering (I thought about this last night) Lias is pronounced like Lee-ah-s.
