Chapter 12. Diagonally, hormones and the return to Hogwarts.
As the parsel tongue turned around, he saw a girl with black curly hair swaying in the light breeze wearing a red summer dress, freckles highlighting her smile that would make anyone blush.
Saliza slithered up on his arm, and he stood.
"I'm sorry for not being with the rest of my family to greet you. I was not aware that you had arrived."
Amy shrugged and walked over to him, giving him a hug and Jakob, who had never hugged her before, had to fight his emotions to think clearly and hugged her back.
"You have a strong hug, Jakob, or are you happy to see me again?"
Whispered Amy, and when the boy realised she had a point, he released her.
"Can't it be both?"
Amy smiled but then frowned for a half second.
She raised her hand and moved it from his head to hers, measuring that he was now almost as tall as herself.
"You have grown a lot of sense since we saw each other last."
"I grow al the time" said jakob chuckeling.
Amy smirked and then glanced over, seeing Saliza slither up behind Jakobs back, looking back at her.
"She is so beautiful," said Amy mesmerised.
"How do you know it's her?" asked a confused Jakob.
"Only a princess could look so beautiful and deadly simultaneously. Can I hold her?"
Jacob opened his mouth but closed it again, looking a bit torn.
"It's okay, Jakob. I already saw you speak the tongue."
"It's not just that. No one in my family knows about Saliza yet, and they would kill me if they knew that I messed up showing you."
Amy grinned.
"Well, it seems like I have something I can use if I need to, but I won't tell them anything right now, at least."
Jacob, who had missed Amy, remembered that her cunning and ambition always came with her.
"Saliza, she wants to hold you."
The snake hissed something back, and Jakob smirked.
"What did she say?" asked Amy excited.
"You can reach out your hand, and she will decide if she will bite or not."
Amy looked at Saliza, who had opened her mouth, showing her black fangs and then closed it, watching Amy's next move.
Amy slowly reached out her hand, and the snake leaned in, tasting her fingers with her black tongue before slithering up and placing herself like she had done on Jakob's shoulders.
"She smells like a shade of the darkness. I like her."
Jacob frowned and looked at Amy, who noticed the glance.
"What did this marvellous princess say?" she asked, dragging her finger on the top of Salizas head and down her body, making the snake hiss in enjoyment.
"She told me that you smelled good and that she likes you. Which is weird because she doesn't like anyone except me and possibly one more.
Amy smiled at the saliza and sat down in the grass beside Jakob.
"You have a beautiful home, Jakob. I would never imagen you lived such a luxurious life even though I know your name."
"All you see here." said the Slytherin boy and continued.
"Belongs to my father. Yes, one day, if I'm lucky and do as I am told, I will inherit this, but a pretty high price to pay just for some land and the last name."
"I see that Slytherin's rules have done something to you."
"This was before Slytherin. I have a plan for my life, and doing what I'm told is not how I'm gonna get there," said Jakob, nodding.
Amy smiled, and they sat there for a while, watching and listening to the different sounds of the world.
After a while, they heard distant voices, and Amy gently let Saliza down on the grass.
"I will see you tonight, saliza", hissed Jakob, and the snake slithered away, looking for her next prey.
"There you are," Thomas said as he walked over with Antony, Emma and Susie.
Jakob and Amy stood up, and the boy greeted Amy's father.
"Welcome, Mr Frome. I hope you will enjoy your stay here."
"Heir Quade, I have heard so much about you," he said, smiling and then looked a bit confused.
"I'm sorry for questioning this, but I had the understanding that you were in the second year? "
Jakob nodded and gave a smile.
"I will start the second year after this summer end. You are correct."
The lord Frome looked to Thomas.
"your son continues to impress me, lord Quade."
Thomas, who loved being praised, smiled and gave a slight nod.
"I will talk with lord Frome in my office and do not wish for us to be disturbed. Susie, we will need refreshments."
Susie curtsied and followed the men into the house.
"Say, miss Frome would love to hear about the things at Hogwarts that my brother can't see. Do you mind if I borrow you for a while?"
"Of course, miss Quade. It would be my pleasure."
The two girls walked away, and Jakob, who stood there all by himself again, wondered what his sister and friend would talk about.
Maybe I can test something, he thought.
"Emma and Amy were sitting in one of the Quade's living rooms, and he could hear when they laughed, but he suspected that Emma had put some sort of silencing charm so people outside would not listen to what the words were.
Jakob stood in the kitchen and had some kitchen supplies ready. If someone walked inside.
"Serpensortia", he whispered, and a small snake appeared before him.
"I need you to go inside that room as quietly as you can." Jakob gestured at the doors, and the snake's head looked over and then at Jakob again.
"and listen to what the two are talking about."
The snake looked at Jakob for a while. The boy wondered if the snake had turned into a statue. It took some time, but suddenly, it hissed.
"you give me food?"
Now it was Jakobs turn to look like a statue, and he signed.
"Alright, you are clearly useless.
"Vipera evanesca."
The snake burned up, and Jakob thought for a moment.
Saliza would be able to do this, so why not another snake. Maybe if I push another sort of power into the spell?.
"Serpensortia." He hissed, and a larger cobra-like snake appeared.
Jakob explained the same thing to this snake and waited for a response.
"I will, but after I'm done, I require food."
"yes. Yes, I will bring you food. Now get on with it."
The boy had gotten a bit irritated. Why are all the snakes hungry all the time?
The snake slithered away and opened the swing doors.
After what seemed an eternity, the snake returned.
"What did you learn?" asked Jakob hopefully.
"They are talking about someone called Jakob." hissed the snake.
The boy's eyes widen.
"What are they saying?"
The snake hissed one word in answer.
"Food."
Jakob sighed and transfigured two spoons into mice, and the snake took its time to devour them.
"Now tell me, what did they say?"
The snake looked confused back at the boy.
"They talked about someone named Jakob."
Jakob stared at the snake. He took his fingers and pinged his nose. Bridge.
He pointed his wand at the snake and shot the spell burning it away.
So snakes are all useless except for Saliza, then. Good to know.
Just then, the doors opened, and Emma, who had laughed at something, quieted down and smirked as she saw her little brother pinching his nose bridge. as her eyes glanced down, she saw two piles of ashes that looked like they had been snakes.
"So they could not listen to our private conversation, little brother?"
Jakob, who now realised he was not alone, quickly turned and grabbed a tray with two big sandwiches and two goblets of butterbeers.
"No, I was just trying something out while I made some snacks for you.
Emma looked at the tray, and the smirk turned into a smile.
"Don't worry, jake, she is making a good impression."
Jakob hoped that Emma did not see him relax, but the smirk she showed told him she had.
"Thank you for the…" she looked down at the massive sandwiches that would fill a grown man's stomach."
"snacks, I will let amuck know what a provider you are."
Emma turned around and walked back.
When the evening came, Jakob sat at dinner in front of Amy and her father. Emma sat beside him, and Thomas sat at his seat at the end of the table.
Susie and Feemey were putting out the different dinners, and Jakob internally cringed at the show his father was putting on.
"Say, that house elf has nicer clothes than anyone I have seen. Is there a special reason for that?"
Said Amy turning to Thomas
Thomas shrugged and said.
"It's my son's house elf, miss Frome. You will have to ask him."
Amy looked at Jakob and raised an eyebrow.
"You own a house elf at the age of 12? Impressive."
Jakob tried to hide his blush and said.
"I received it as a gift from my father when he saw my grades. And to answer your question, miss Frome. I want people to know that you will always be treated well if you serve me.
"So would you treat muggles like that as well?" asked his father and Jakob, who knew that his father said this to let them know where his son stood.
They all looked at the boy waiting for an answer.
"I would not have muggles as slaves." said jako. Shortly.
"What would you have them do then, heir Quade?" asked Antony, interested in what Jakob could say now.
"Why would I use them for anything, lord Frome? Lord Grindelwald showed the world how dangerous muggles were, but the light side refused to listen."
Everyone at the table looked surprised at Jakob for bringing up the dark lord before, he who must not be named. Jakob continued saying.
"If I could decide, I would exterminate every single one of them."
Finished Jakob, and Thomas looked proudly and a little confused at his son.
"Well said, my son, it's not quite what the dark lord wanted, but I would see no reason for him to oppose those words if he was dining with us tonight. Those muggle filth are not even worth being slaves."
They all talked that dinner about Grindelwald and the other dark lord but Jakob. Thought in his mind as he agreed to the statements his father and the lord Frome said.
They believe that muggles are like chattels, but they don't understand that they could wipe us out if they knew about our existence.
When Jakob said good night to everyone and went upstairs, he prepared himself for bed.
He had just put on his pyjama shorts, feeling like he had become too warm with the whole set and maybe too old?
The boy was walking out of his bathroom when he heard a knock on his door.
He went to open it, but no one was there.
He looked down the corridor with a frown and saw something rounding the corner.
He went outside and closed his door.
"Hello?" he said, but no one answered.
He walked, and when he turned the corner, he saw Amy standing in a dark blue nightgown. His eyes wandered down, and he saw that freckles were portraying on her, starting from her shoulders down to her cleavage. Jakob reddened as his eyes wandered down even further, seeing her bare white legs and feet.
Amy, who had been expecting the stare from the boy, did not expect him to be bare-chested, and she had to focus on not giving him the same look.
She spoke when she was satisfied with the looks he had given her.
"I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am to be shown this hospitality by your family."
Jakob gulped and nodded, not trusting the words coming from his mouth right now.
Amy walked slowly towards him, and Jakob, who stood frozen in place, could only watch as the older girl raised her arms and hugged him.
Jakob felt the smell of lavender perfume and the apple that originated from her hair. When he could control his body again, he raised his arm and hugged her back.
Jakob's head almost started to vibrate from the chaos, Feeling her body against his and her colder skin warming up by his, they stood there for a moment.
When they heard a noise, both released each other and looked at where the noise had originated and when they understood that no one was there, Jakob turned back and saw that his hands and not entirely released Amy.
He had them around her waist. He let go and looked at Amy, who smirked but was also blushing, breathing faster than usual.
"God, night, Jakob, " she said, turned to her door and walked in, closing it.
Jakob stood there for a few seconds, and then remembering where he was, he walked faster than he used to back to his own room.
When he entered, he lay down in his bed, and Saliza, already on his right side, was sleeping.
Jakob could only think about the situation that had played up in his mind.
He felt that sensation that he had felt when she kissed him on the cheek that night in the Slytherin common room.
He frowned, felt something was not as it used to be, and lifted his cover.
"holy shit, did she see this?"
The shameful boy took a pillow over his head and screamed.
The next day they all sat and ate breakfast together, and Jakob tried his best not to throw glances at the Slytherin prefect in front of him, that wore a subtle smirk and gave him a discrete wink.
"So you will go to Diagon alley today and get your Hogwarts supplies ?" Thomas asked the two Slytherins.
"Yes, I would believe it best to do it today. There will be a lot of people if we get late tough," said Amy giving a smile to lord Quade.
"Emma will you come with us?" asked Jakob looking like he did not care.
His sister, who gave Amy a quick look that Jakob did not register, said to her brother.
"No, I have already got my things, so I won't need anything."
Jakob tries not to look too happy.
When they had eaten up, Jakob went into his room and changed to look his best but not so they would know that he had made some effort in choosing his clothes.
Saliza, who had been under his bed covers. Stuck her head out.
"Why are you behaving like that?"
"Behaving like what?" Hissed Jakob back.
"Like you are preparing to mate."
Jakob turned around, staring at his snake with an open mouth, still holding the clothes up.
"how do you even know what mating is? You are practically a baby?"
"I meet other snakes, and they have whispered things. Are you preparing to mate?"
"No!" hissed Jakob and looked affronted.
"wait a second. Saliza, are snakes desiring to mate with you?
"They are, but I have swallowed them before they could try."
"Saliza you... swallowed? Anyway, you can't mate with other snakes now, okay? Said Jakob baffled over the things his snake was telling him right now.
"Okay then, " said the snake, returning its head under the cover.
Jakob signed and then walked out.
When Jakob came down, he saw that Thomas and Antony were waiting for him in the floo.
"Ah, dressed for the occasion, I see," chuckled his father and Jakob cursed himself for being so obvious.
Antony gave him a smile and nodded his approval.
"the gesture is sure to be appreciated, young man."
Jakob gave him a nod, and Amy walked in.
Amy had her hair up, only letting a few locks hang down and wore a coat-like robe. It was a tight fit around her body and waist but let loose around her legs, and when she walked forward, the Slytherin boy could glimpse black pantyhose ending with black shoes.
"Another one dresses for the occasion," mumbled Thomas to Antony, who chuckled.
When they were ready to leave, Thomas gave Jakob a pouch and bent a little lower while Antony gave his daughter a list of everything she needed to buy.
"There is a time when not to waste Galleons on things," whispered Thomas, glancing over at Amy.
"This is the Time. There are enough galleons in that pouch to buy a house, so I want you to show them the generosity of house Quade."
Jakob smiled at his father and shot a nervous glance towards Amy, who nodded to something her father had said.
"I will, father, thank you."
His father smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Take good care of her now."
Jakob nodded.
Amy and Jakob took the floo and ended up at the leaky cauldron.
They looked around, and then when Jakob proceeded to walk to the door, he felt Amy grab his arm, hooking her with him.
"Are you sure you want everyone to see us like this?" asked Jakob.
"When we are at school, I am your prefect, and it would not be... Suitable for you to show this behaviour or me, but we are not in school now, right now we are miss Frome and Heir Quade. She said, removing an imaginary hair from his robes. Jakob discreetly hid his family crest, knowing that it would draw attention and right now, he just wanted to be with Amy.
"You look very handsome today Heir Quade," she said, giving him a squeeze on his arm, and they walked out into the Diagon alley.
As they passed different stores, Jakob asked her where she would like to go first.
Amy took out her list, and they started to check off the different shops.
When they had exited their fourth store, Slug and Jiggers, and gotten their potion ingredients that Feemey collected and popped away again, they walked on the street, and suddenly Amy stopped in front of a store called Twillfit and Tattings. Jakob had heard Narcissa talk about this shop, and he got the understanding that this was an elite clothing store.
"I love this place," said Amy looking back at Jakob.
"Would you mind if we went inside and took a look?"
Jakob nodded and opened the door for the older witch.
When they walked in, Jakob saw that Narcissa had not made it justice. Different dresses were hanging on display that looked very expensive, and charmed shop dolls took different poses with various dresses, hats, shoes and even lingerie.
While Jakob stood there watching in amazement, Amy walked around and looked at the different things.
"Can I help you with something?" said an older thin witch looking at Jakob like he was lost. Jakob saw a nametag that read Mrs. Twilfitt.
"No, I was just amazed at your collection. I'm here with her." Jakob pointed at Amy, who was now taking some clothes and looked at them.
"Dear boy, this shop is Quite expensive, and I don't think-"
Jakob gave the older woman a slight unimpressed look.
"Oh, I'm sure it is. I was told by Narcissa Malfoy that this was the best place in Diagon alley."
Now looking a little more interested, the older woman looked back at Amy, who had picked up a Blue dress.
"Dear, I'm afraid this dress is reserved for another one."
Jakob saw the smile Amy gave, trying to hide her disappointment.
Jakob leaned in.
"How much is it?"
The older witch looked back at Jakob as if he had not heard her, but when she was about to say something, Jakob got irritated by the arrogance she wore.
"listen", whispered Jakob.
" This girl will have whatever she likes in this shop, and you will be helping her with everything she needs. And by the way, you said that dress she just picked was reserved? I will pay three times the original cost. Just make her happy."
Mrs Twilfitt looked at the boy like he had lost his mind. Jakob sighed and revealed the family crest that he had hidden.
When the older witch saw it, her eyes widened, and she took a bow.
"I deeply apologise, Heir Quade. I will get a discount for you as an apology."
"No need," said Jake in a low voice. Just make that girl feel like she is a Queen, and I will pay for the troubles."
The older witch retook a quick bow and rushed to Amy, who looked surprised at the witch who suddenly changed her behaviour to thread her like some kind of royalty.
"Jakob sat on a chair while Mrs Twilfitt waved her wand and tried different clothes on Amy that would match her eyes, hair, and everything else.
Amy was smiling and nodding but had a worried face after a while.
Every time Amy nodded when the older witch asked if she liked anything she had tried on. The witch had waved her want to let the clothes, shoes and everything else be packaged in exclusive boxes, and they were starting to pile up.
"Um, I really appreciate all this, but I can't afford this," whispered the girl who was being clothed with a new dress to the dresser.
"Don't think of it. The gentleman over there is paying for everything. Just tell me what you like and enjoy." the older witch whispered back with a smile.
Amy looked over at Jakob with wide eyes, and when he looked confused back at her, she blushed and turned away, answering what the clerk was asking her.
When they were done, Amy looked at the different pages and could not count everything.
"There, that will be 9000 Galleons and 13 silver sickles."
Amy stared at the witch and then looked at Jakob, who took up the pouch.
"Jakob, I really appreciate this, but this is way too much. You can't be spending these Galleons on me."
Jakob gave her a small smile and then turned towards the older witch.
"The black dress, is it there?"
The clerk thought for a moment as she had forgotten and then when she realised what he had meant she held up a finger and went to the dresses and Amy saw the dress she had fallen for but had been reserved get picked up and put in another package.
"There." said the old witch." a little tired. That will be 10000 Galleons and 13 sickles.
"Hold it said Amy holding up a hand." The tag said 334 Galleons. How come you switched it to 1000?"
"Don't worry about it; it's yours now said Jakob giving her a wink.
As Jakob took a breath, prepared to call Feemey to collect the boxes, they heard the doorbell, and a voice greeted them.
"What do we have here."
Jakob knew that sound and turned around to see Lucius and the one who had talked, Narcissa.
"Jakob, it's so good to see you, and I can now understand why your father had said that you would not be able to come with us today. Who is your lucky friend here?" said the older woman walking up and giving Jakob a hug and then looking at the boxes with a raised eyebrow.
"It's always a pleasure to see you, Narcissa and you too, Lucius."
Said Jakob, receiving a nod and smile from the Malfoy lord in return.
" This is my friend Amy, and we were just done here."
"I can see that young boy. What on earth are you going to do with all these clothes ?"
"They are for miss Frome, a gift for keeping me company," said Jakob giving a small smile to the girl who had been standing there quietly.
Amy smiled back, but he felt she was a little uncomfortable where she stood.
"I'm glad to see that you listened to me when I taught you and my son how to treat women correctly. Said the mother of Jakobs best friend.
Narcissa walked over to the girl and shook her hand, and Lucius stood behind his wife, giving a slight bow.
" I can see that young Jakob here cares for you, so a friend of Jakob's is always a friend to the Malfoys. What's your name, girl" said Narcissa taking her hand gently in hers.
"It's Amy lady Malfoy, Amy Frome. It's a pleasure to meet you both."
" Amy, I recognise that name. Are you a prefect in Slytherin?"
Amy nodded.
" yes, lord Malfoy, I am."
" ah, I see. Then you do a good service to both the house and school."
Narcissa rolled her eyes.
"My husband was a prefect and head boy. You have already been approved in his eyes."
Amy took a slight bow when Lucius cast a small smile towards the girl.
" Honey, we should let the youths continue with their shopping," said Lucius, and after he had told his goodbye, he walked further into the store.
It's been a pleasure to meet you both, " said Narcissa and hugged Amy. When she was released, she said.
"Jakob's mother and I were close friends, and I think of Jakob as a nephew. Don't be strangers and come and visit the manor. I would enjoy spending some more time getting to know you miss Frome."
Amy nodded and smiled back.
" I hope we will have that chance."
" of course, Narcissa, I will look into a date when we are available as soon as I get home," said Jakob as he received a hug from the woman.
As she went further in with her husband Jakob, she saw Amy breathe out a sigh of relief, but he did not comment on it.
It took feemey three trips to get all the boxes, and when they were done, Amy and Jakob decided that ice cream was next on their list. Amy insisted on paying.
Sitting on a bench, they saw different people walking from one shop to another. Jakob took a lick of his ice cream and then asked Amy something that had been on his mind.
" Did I say something in the store that offended you?"
" What?" asked Amy, who was about to take a lick on hers.
" In the store. You looked so tense. I just try to figure out what I did wrong so I can apologise if it's needed."
Amy smiled at him.
" you did nothing wrong, Jakob, but you must understand one thing.
Jakob listened. And Amy sighed a little.
"Where I come from. There is no grand mansion or shopping like that, and people like your family and Malfoy don't look twice at me even if I'm a pureblood."
Jakob frowned.
" I saw you."
" Yes, but you are special. You have a life that people would only dream about having, and seeing how close you are to the Malfoy and seeing them notice me, it's just. Different."
Amy took his hand.
" I really enjoy your company, and I know there are many powerful people I need to impress if I want to keep enjoying it."
Jakob frowned. And spoke
" I can understand what you mean, but you don't need to impress anyone. You are my friend; if I care about you, so will everyone else."
Amy squeezed his hand and looked out to the street.
" I am just happy to have gotten these two days with you. People would kill to have that."
They got up and threw their ice cream in the bins.
Jakob looked at her.
" Today, I will show you the perks of my house."
Amy took his arm, and they started to walk again.
This time it was Jakob's turn to choose a shop, and they walked inside.
It had all the different things one might need, from bags and chests with extensions charms to jewellery.
Jakob walked up to a Chest and picked it up. It was black dragon hide leather and had a handle on the side made from acromantula silk. On it, there was a note reading.
Includes Extension charms. 3 rooms. Lock by a spoken password. Warming charm(rooms one and 2). Silencing charm.
Jakob raised an eyebrow.
"How much for this?" he said, holding up the bag to the clerk.
The clerk walked over to Jakob, seeing the crest on his chest.
"ah, I see you like the new collection. It costs 1500 Galleons, and if you add 200, you will have 2 complimentary visits to get the latest charms if any new ones are implemented.
Jakob nodded and let the clerk take the bag and bag it up.
The boy then went over to Amy, looking at a pair of earrings. They looked like silver snowflakes with purple gems in the middle.
"They would match your eyes," said Jakob and continued.
"You like them?"
"I do, but-"
"Then they are yours." he waved to the older man, who took them out and put them in a box.
Amy gave him a smile and said.
"you are really spoiling me today Heir Quade.
Jakob gave her a shrug and a smirk.
"I told you I would let you see the perks of my house today."
They looked a bit more in the store, and Jakob got Amy a smaller bag that matched his black dragon hide. It also came with a spoken password and an extension charm.
When they walked out, Amy took out her list and said.
"We need to get our new books." Amy nodded, and they shifted direction to the bookstore.
When they entered, there were full of people that stood in line.
"What's going on?" asked Jakob, and an older woman turned around.
" Gilleroy Lockheart is here and signing books," she said excitedly, and Jakob rolled his eyes.
Amy, who had heard what the witch said, looked at Jakob and smirked.
" Oh, don't you like the charming hero?"
" He is worse than Potter, and I almost feel disgusted saying that out loud."
Amy laughed and walked up the stairs getting away from the crowd downstairs.
" I know, but you have to give some cred. That prick knows how to make young girls and older ladies swoon over him."
Jakob glanced at her.
"what about you then? Should we stand in line?" Jakob smirked.
Amy pinched his arm.
When they were on the second floor, they looked out over the downstairs chaos.
"I am not any girl Jakob. I only fall for boys that catch my interest."
Jakob seeing her gaze had to fight the urge to kiss her right there on the spot.
He smiled and turned around, looking out over the crowd trying his best to calm down.
Damned, this shit hormone, he thought.
Amy had seen the look he had given her, and for a moment, she noticed that something in his eyes had turned feral for just one second, and she had felt s shiver down her spine.
When Jakob saw a family of redheads, he noticed that the Potters were with them.
They stood in line, and Amy, who had seen the look he had been maintaining, glanced out.
" Oh, how cute, blood traitors and mudbloods," she said disgustingly."
Jakob, who still looked out, said nothing but agreed with her.
Then Lucius came inside with Draco. They started to talk with the two families, and Jakob noticed that Lucius became more irritated.
"This is not good, and there are many of them."
Amy observed and nodded.
" you have an idea?"
Jacob took out his wand.
"Serpensortia," a snake came out, and Jakob bowed down.
"bite the redhead boy down there", Jakob hissed in a low voice.
The snake nodded and slithered down the steps.
"What did you tell it?"
Asked Amy looking down at the loud voices from the Potters and Weasleys.
"I told it to bite the redheaded boy.",
Said Jakob, smirking while also looking down.
"There are a lot of them down there. You did not specify more?"
Jakob looked at her.
"Why? They are all blood traitors." Both were giving each other an agreed smirk when they suddenly heard it.
A Readhead boy screamed and the crowned dispursed, and Percey fell down, clutching his ankle.
The Potter head of house took out his wand and transfigured a book into an arrow that pierced the snake.
The Weasley quickly took their leave with the Potters, all except the Potter father, who started to look around.
" Quickly start to flirt with me," said Jakob as he saw that the man had started walking up the stairs, not noticing them yet.
Amy understood what he meant and caressed his cheek with her hand, and when the Potter had walked up and glanced their way, she leaned in and kissed the boy.
Jakob, who first looked surprised, soon closed his eyes. A firework in his body started, and he did not care about anything. He took his hand behind her back and the other behind her head and pulled her body closer to him.
He heard her make a slight sound and then felt her arms embrace him back.
The Potter head of house tried his best not to look at the two smooching teenagers and walked past them.
When Amy broke the kiss, he noted that the Potter father wasn't present anymore, and Jakob, now understanding what he had done, looked at the girl smirking back at him.
" You are full of surprised heir Quade," she said and then took his arm.
" If you surprise me like that, why can't I do the same?" he asked back while they descended the stairs.
" That was some surprise, Amy almost purred back.
When they had come down, they collected their books and walked out of the store.
They decided to eat lunch at the leaky cauldron, and as they sat there, Jakob asked Amy something he had been thinking about.
" Amy, do you know who will be the next queen or king?"
" Yes", answered the Slytherin girl. Taking a sip of her drink.
" And I suppose you won't tell me?"
Amy shook her head.
" Sorry, but only the Slytherin fives knows, and we aren't allowed to tell anyone else."
Jakob studied her while asking his next question.
" So if I asked if you would be the next in line, what would you tell me."
The girl put down her goblet.
"It's not me yet. I can tell you that much, but…." The girl stopped raising her goblet once again.
"But what?"
" I can't say.. just yet."
When they were done, they left the famous shopping street and flooded back home.
Well, at home, they were greeted by Emma and Susie, who had been waiting for them.
Emma had seen the packages and wanted to see what Amy had gotten, so they took the evening going through all the boxes giving Jake some well-deserved rest.
Ella, who would go there tomorrow and get everything she needed, had asked Jakob about the best stores and what wand she should choose at Ollivander's.
Jakob had, in the end, succeeded in making the girl leave, and he was just preparing for bed when he heard a knock on his door.
His heart rate went a bit faster, hopping. He walked over to the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Amy in another nightgown. This one, he could tell, was from the shop they had visited.
" I wanted you to see it. The Slytherin prefect said, tilting her head and showing him her snow earrings. She then walked inside his room.
He backed as the girl walked closer to him.
The nightgown was black and had small details that made her look like a night goddess.
He gulped.
"It's beautiful." He said.
" You think?" Amy said, turning A little, and Jakob saw the nightgown spinning up, showing more of her legs.
"You know, Jakob, this is the last night, and I can only think of one thing."
"What would that be, Amy?" he asked, taking a step towards her.
She saw the glint in his eyes again. The same sparkle that gave her chills. She took one step towards him.
" The kiss in the bookstore. It came from nowhere, and I would like to feel it again before school starts."
Jakob took a step closer and raised one of his hands, placing it on her back.
She leaned in when he did, and their lips met again but slower this time.
Jakob embraced her again; this time, she was ready and embraced him back, still kissing him.
When Jakob almost felt Dizzy, Amy broke it and looked at him.
"What's going to be different in school?" He asked.
" When we return, we can't do this. If they found out, it could spell trouble for both of us. I'm a prefect, and you are an heir to the Quade family. Rumours that we are using each other could be our downfall."
Jakob knew she was right, but he did not want to.
She saw the disappointed look and kissed him once more before releasing him and handing him an envelope.
"Something to look at if you start to miss me too much," she said and then walked out and closed the door.
"Are you done mating?" hissed saliza in her hole.
" We did not, mate, and can you stop saying that word? It's weird!" hissed.
Jakob went back, getting into his bed and opening the envelope.
Inside was a moving picture of Amy posing with her nightgown in different poses while winking at him and giving him a blow-kiss.
Holy shit, thought Jakob, and after a good while, when he had observed every second of the moving picture, he turned it around. There was s text that read.
For your eyes and only yours/Amy.
Ps: if you show anyone, I'm going to kill you.
Jakob chuckled and turned it around again.
He would sleep good tonight.
When Amy and her father stood to say goodbye to the Quade, Jakob shook the man's hand and hugged Amy.
"I'm going to miss you," she whispered, and he whispered back.
"Me too."
When they released, Amy smiled at him, and the green flames took them away.
Emma saw that Jakob looked a bit disappointed seeing them leave, so she took it upon herself to be with him for the rest of the day.
Ella came home during the evening and had bought a lot of different things that she needed for school, and Susie had thanked Thomas while the old man tried to wave it off.
" She has to go to school, and she represents the house of Quade. Of course, she is having the best." he had said, but the Twitch on his lips when he saw Ella energic and wanting to learn spells by Jakob told that he was happy for the girl.
The day arrived, and Ella stood on the platform saying goodbye to Susie, who, for the first time, could hug one of the children in public that was going on board. Jakob said goodbye to Thomas, and Emma, who was already at her own school, had said goodbye before.
Jakob, who had put Saliza in his bag, had not been pleased about Jakob not telling his family about her yet, but when he described where they were going, she had calmed down a bit.
When they entered the train, Ella walked before Jakob and talked to him about the different things she would try when she got to Hogwarts. Jakob nodded and smiled back at the ecstatic kid in front of him.
She turned around as she walked, and Jakob, who had eye contact with the happy girl, did not see that she had walked into someone and almost fallen over if it was not for Jakob catching her in time.
The dark-haired girl turned around to see who it was, and Jakob, who was about to apologise, heard the person say.
"Bloody hell, watch where you are going."
Jakob glared and took out his wand. Harry Potter, who had stabilised himself, glared back at Ella and glared even more when he realised who the girl was with. Behind him stood the Weasley boy and Ivy. They all looked at each other with different types of expressions.
Jakob had only one thought in his mind seeing the glare Harry had given his Ella. Oh.. he is dead.
Authors note: I wanted to show that only Saliza is smart enough to understand longer commands. I don't want Jakob to be able to have snakes in the whole school that gives him information. I have read it before, and it makes it harder for the mc to actually get up and do some investigating. Snakes summoned with parsel tongue can do somewhat more complex tasks but are focused on being stronger.
I need you, the readers, to help with something. I'm thinking of giving Harry and maybe Ivy an ability. I don't know what, and that's where you come in. If you have any suggestions, pm me and write what you would want to see harry or/and Ivy have. I will see what I pick, and That ability will be posted in either this next chapter or the chapter after.
