Jassmine entered the Gryffindor common room, upset. She had know when she had punched Rae that she would be punished, yet she hadn't been punished the way she thought she would have been. She had figured what the heck, "I've already got detention so what's the harm in more?" But it hadn't been like that. Dumbledore had called her in and sat her down, giving her a firm lecture, nothing she hadn't heard before. But the real punishment was in Dumbledore's eyes. She hated that look. The one no one else could give except him. With sadness/concern, anger, frustration and most of all disappointment. He hadn't given her detention, or more writing assignments or even taken away points, though Snape was going to no doubt. No, Dumbledore was going to make her apologize! Apologise! Of all the fucking things he could have done! He was going to make her apologise!

She sat on the floor in front of the fire, where Oliver and Michele were frantically making out, and stared into the flames. For a second she thought she was beginning to see figures in the fire but when Michele realized Jass had sat down next to them and called her name the picture was gone. She turned to Michele, "You know Mich, your grandfather is evil. I can't believe he'd do this! Actually I can, which is why he's evil!" Jass told Mich, while ignoring her topless boyfriend.

Michele was taken by surprise for a second, "Why do you say that?" She got her shirt on straight and fixed her hair, and absently fixed Oliver's wet hair. She loved the way he looked after just getting out of the shower.

"I'm sure you heard what I did to Rae..." Jass paused.

"Yeah. I was so pleased. I just wish I had been there to see it. Was it fun?" Michele piped.

"God yes! It was an incredible feeling to just put all my frustration into my fist and smash it into her face. But Dumbledore is going to make me apologise to her! How can I apologise where I don't feel a bit of remorse." She explained

"Oh. Well that has to sux! But you know Granddad. He has his weird ways." She said and softly kissed Oliver's face.

Jass looked up at the two lovebirds. Michele had one of her legs over Oliver's lap and the other dangled over the front of the couch. One of Michele's arms were wrapped around Oliver's shoulders and his arm around her waist. Her other hand was entangled with his. And though Michele was paying attention to Jassmine, he delightfully kept his eyes on the girl he was in love with. Jassmine hated it! "Well I can see I'm interrupting your snogging session, so I'll get out of your hair so you can go about your disgusting exchange of saliva" Jass sarcastically snapped and left to go down to the kitchens. She departed and they did in deed got back to their snogging.

Down in the kitchen, Jassmine entered by tickling the pear in the painting, a trick her father had told her before she had came to Hogwarts, she found she was not the only one on a mission for a midnight snack. No, there sitting at a table was one of the read headed Weasley twins, though Jass had no clue which it was. Immediately after entering the kitchen Jass was surrounded by half a dozen little fury people with huge eyes and pillowcases for clothing, whom Jass knew were house elves. They were all asking what she would like, what they could do for her, all wanting to help. "Sea food and pack it on!" Jassmine always liked to indulge in seafood whenever she was depressed.

She went and sat across from the Weasley twin, who looked up from his ice dream to see her, "Sirius' daughter right?!" "Ya, names' Jassmine. And your one of the Weasley twins, which one might you be?" "Fred." "Where is your other half Fred?"

"Burnt himself bad earlier, he's in the Hospital Wing tonight. Stupid Snape! It's all his fault! If he hadn't... Oh it doesn't matter. It's his word against ours. But Georgie will be back tomorrow. That is why I am down here, what brings you down here?"

"Stuff. I kinda punched Rae Fox, a sixth year Slytherin, and my punishment is so ridiculous! I mean, I'm not getting any points taken away, no detention, no extra homework-" But she was cut off by Fred. "And this is a bad thing!!!? I don't understand? How can this be bad?"

"Well if you shut up and let me talk, maybe I could finish and you'd understand!" she waited, and he didn't say anything so she continued, "As I was saying, Dumbledore isn't giving them any of the usual things for punishment, he's making me apologise the next time Rae and I have a class with together. I can't do it, I won't! She's a god damn Slytherin! Gryffindor's do not, I repeat, DO NOT apologise to Slytherin's!" She stopped to take a breath.

"Oh. I see the problem now. But I don't think there is anything you can do but apologise, make nice for two seconds to spit the words out, then turn the other way. But if you ever want help pulling something on Rae or her gelled up baffoon of a boyfriend, Malfoy, George and I are at your service!" "Thanks, I may take you up on that!" They continued to talk until early hours of the morning, conversing in stories. It turned out that Jassmine was quite the prankster at her old school in America.

***

It had been exactly one week since they had shared their first kiss. Morning came. But Draco didn't want to get out of bed. He wanted to stay right were he was. He looked down at the girl lying next to him, Rae. She was snuggled in close to him, still asleep. He brushed a few strands of her short dark hair away from her face, not even noticing the dark mark around her eye. Her skin was so soft. Draco felt content, but not longing as he had once. He pushed the thought of a curtain bold brunette who had been his first away from his mind and again looked contently at Rae. Last night had been their first time together, but it had felt so familiar. It had been a very pleasant evening of romping he thought. Her movements stirred, he took his hand away, her eyes opened. Her voice was the first to make sound, "What time is it?" she said sleepily.

Draco looked over at the clock, "It's about 9am, why?"

Rae quickly sat up, "9am! Shit!" she exclaimed and frantically tried to get the blankets to untangle.

Draco jumped back in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"We have to get to class! I hate to be late!" The blankets began to loosen and move around the top of her body, allowing Draco's eyes a most enjoyable sight while playing hide n' seek with her breasts.

Draco chuckled and put and arm out to pull her back down, "It's Saturday, no classes." Rae relaxed and went back down to him, and he kissed her, "No classes, no nothing. We can just lay here all day and be content, maybe go a few more rounds to go along with last nights pleasure filled game?" he added.

Rae smiled and stretched, "Sounds good," ran her fingers down his firm front. But didn't get far cause Draco rolled over, got on top and filled her.

***

Monday came all to fast for Jassmine, because with it brought Potions as Gryffindor's and Slytherin's second class of the day. Jassmine walked slowly to potions class, but found even with that she was 10 minutes early. Rae as there of course, with Draco attached to her. Jassmine walked up to them and waited for a moment, when they didn't stop kissing she made a small coughing sound and Rae opened her eyes and saw Jassmine, she pulled away from Draco and he saw her too. They both straightened up and looked at her, loving the fact that she didn't want to be here. Jassmine didn't say anything so Rae piped in, "Dumbledore said you would talk to me before we started our next Potions class, and that you had something to tell me. So we are here, what is it? And do hurry up Black, as you can see we are busy, though I must thank you for getting me out of Herbology with those stupid Hufflepuffs."

Jass gave a look of disgust, "Right. I...I apologise." Rae and Draco had a blank looks, "What?!"

"That's it? I thought he was going to make you give some long speech and say how sorry you were. That you were out of line and that you should have kept that mongrel temper of yours in check. If you ask me Dumbledore has lost his rocker! He didn't even take points from your house, all so you could say two words that you don't even mean." Draco was about to continue where Rae left off when Rae's face and voice suddenly changed, "You really hurt me. How could you have been so mean? I didn't even do anything to you! It's not nice to attack people for no reason!" She said in a very sad, hurt and delicate voice.

Jassmine couldn't take it, Rae was being such a cow, "What?! Bull shit! You did everything, you brought this on yourself! You stupid cow! Attacking me! Me and my family and what I am! Your just a Slytherin wanna-be! And you know what I'm not sorry, not one little bit! In fact I wish I had hit you harder. Or maybe you'd like another black eye?!" Jass shouted as she admired her handy work that showed in Rae's black eye.

Just then Snape came rampaging out of his classroom, "MISS BLACK! HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ONE OF MY STUDENTS! 50 points from Gryffindor and you can be certain that the headmaster will here about this! Now get inside! All of you! Black you can start writing an essay on how to treat fellow students with respect!" He shouted. "What?" Jass started but Snape stopped her. "Don't argue with me Black! That essay will be 600 words long!! And if you don't want anymore, I'd suggest that you shut up and do as you are told!" He bellowed.

Jassmine was about to retort, but he shoved her into the room before she could. Draco and Rae followed, Snape went into the back room and Draco whispered to Rae, so that Jass couldn't hear them, "How did you know Snape was listening?"

"Oh well, have you ever noticed that Snape has that distinct smell?" Rae said "Ya." "Well when he slipped open the door just enough to hear, I smelt him, and so I put on the tears." Rae explained. "Your brilliant! I love you!" Draco continued to whisper and began kissing her until Snape came back in the room. They knew that Snape was very tolerant of Slytherin's, but that he hated kissy stuff.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the class, while Jass was supposed to be working on her essay she was really writing ways of killing Rae; poisoning her drink, pushing her and Draco off a cliff into the ocean to die together... Her thoughts were interrupted when the rest of the students came in. Michele and Ebony sat on either side of her, but it was Michele who asked, "So how did it go?"

"Don't ask." was all Jassmine said. The rest of the class went about as smoothly as a potions class with Gryffindor's and Slytherin's can go. When the class was dismissed they went to lunch. *** The first thing Jassmine saw when she entered the Great Hall that evening for dinner was two heads of bright red hair, "The Wesley's, of course!" She went over to Fred, grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the table and out into the hall. "What the?! Jass-" was all he managed to get out "You said if I wanted to pull something on Rae, you'd help right?!" She blurted

Fred got an evil look on his face and his smile reached ear-to-ear, "Ya! What did you have in mind?!" he asked blissfully.

"Well what is the thing she likes and wants most?!" She waited and he responded as she hoped. "Draco!" "Exactly! So we make it so he doesn't want to look at her, make it so he doesn't want her! And at the same time torment him!" She exclaimed!

Fred look completely entrapped by her, "How?! I can tell you have a plan! What is it?!"

"Well, we'll need Harry's help, but." Jassmine leaned closer and whispered into his ear. Fred only gained a bigger smirk. They left the great hall to plan and prepare into the night. *** The next morning the two were some of the first people into the Great Hall. They sat patiently waiting, then Rae and Draco finally entered, of course attached, and sat with their group of "friends" at the Slytherin table. Fred looked at Jassmine, "Ready?"

"Yep! Be right back." Jassmine got out of her seat and walked out of the Great Hall. Ten minutes later she returned with a pleased look on her face.

Fred looked anxious, "Well?" He said nearly bouncing out of his seat.

"Mission accomplished." She chirped. They both smiled.

~*~*~

Draco took his hand away from Rae to turn and talk to Marcus. Rae finished her sentence and, while listening to a 7th year Slytherin girl, took a long drink of her pumpkin juice. She turned, tapped Draco's shoulder to ask him something, he turned to look at her, but she began to go out of focus. He squinted to see properly, it didn't work. He blinked a few times, she began to come back into focus, but when she did it wasn't Rae's face her saw. Instead he saw white painted skin, fluffy Rainbow colored hair and a big blinking red nose. All toped off with a huge red painted smile and black triangles below and above the eyes; a clown!!! Draco screamed and fell back off out of his seat and tried to crawl away.

"Draco?! What's wrong?" Rae asked as she reached forward to help Draco up.

But all Draco heard when Rae spoke was a scary laugh and when she reached for him, he felt as if he was being attacked. He kicked her hand away and continued shouting, "Leave me alone!!! Get away!!! AHH!!!" He got up and ran from the hall screaming.

Rae was confused (to everyone else she looks normal) "Draco?!" She sat and pondered what she could have done wrong, she couldn't think of anything. Maybe now that Draco had had his way with fun with her he no longer desired her?!

Once out of the Great Hall, he continued to run. Soon he found himself in the Slytherin common room. Bending over and resting his hands on his knees, he stopped to catch his breath. Just as he was beginning to relax, Pansy Parkinson came out of her dorm room to see Draco there crouched over. She rushed to his side, "Draco?!"

He looked up at her and she went blurry and came back into focus (much faster than with Rae) as a white faced, fluffy hair, red nosed clown too! "AHH!!!!" he screamed just as Snape entered through the whole in the wall. "Draco?!"

Draco looked at Snape then to Pansy, now wishing he hadn't left his wand in his room. The two clowns approached him, Snape clown reached for Draco, Draco took a step back. When Snape again moved closer, Draco swung his arm at Snape. But Snape moved sideways so Draco missed and went spinning around colliding with the fireplace mantel and fell to the ground unconscious.

Snape hovered over Draco, "Draco? Better get him to Pompy. Any idea what's wrong with him?" He asked Pansy.

"No clue Sir" she replied.

(Later that day)

Jassmine enters Pennington Hall and seats herself on a couch across from Michele and Ebony, "Guess what?!!"

Ebony and Michele sat up and looked at Jassmine, "What?"

"Malfoy will be spending tonight in the hospital. I over heard the teachers saying something about it. They are guessing that 'Apparently' someone put a spell on Rae to make Draco see a clown when he looked at her. But the spell went wrong so he begun to see everyone as clowns!!! Isn't that funny?!!!" Jass proudly explained.

"Oh my goodness, is Draco alright?" Ebony exclaimed.

Jass frowned, "Ya ya. He'll be back in classes tomorrow. But here is the BEST part!!!! Pompy is keeping Rae in the hospital for a week as a 'safety' precaution!! No Rae for a week!!! YEY!!! The teachers said that they couldn't take the risk that all the other students that may be afraid of clowns saw her and have the same reaction as Draco. So they are locking her up for a whole week!!! How do you think we should celebrate?!!" Jass finished.

Michele's face lit up and she begun to add suggestions before Ebony piped up, "That's not very nice Jassmine! I'm going to see them." And she headed off for the hospital wing.

Jassmine and Michele made plans to celebrate the next night when Oliver came in and swept Michele away from Jassmine. But shortly after, Fred came and joined Jassmine, "Nice work today. So things didn't exactly go as planned, we obviously mixed up and the frilonioux crystal stuff. But I think it turned out alright, wouldn't you agree partner?" Fred noted.

"Yes, I think it all turned out wonderfully." She agreed and they both smiled mischievously.

~*~*~*~* AN *~*~*~*~ Ok, sorry to everyone who has patiently waited to see these new chapters. I seriously didn't mean for it to take so flippen long. I had a serious case of writers block, and just finally got over it. I hope to have a few more chapters within the next month.
