~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week had gone by and to the teachers surprise, the twins had acted quite nicely in and out of their classes with only a few minor pranks. Harry had been estatic that the weekend had finally came so that he could take Jamie flying on his Firebolt. Jasmine had finally started to calm down a little and had taken quite a liking to Hermione. As a result, the two were almost inseparble. Hermione had found out that Jasmine had just as much of a passion for reading as she did and she never tired of any of the stories of Harry and their escapades that Hermione told her.
~~~
Hermione peered up from her book to watch Jasmine looking through one of the books that she had asked her mum to send. She hadn't read them since she was just a child and thought that Jasmine might like it. It was one of her favorite children's book, but it didn't have a lot of difficult words in it to confuse her...it was because of these books that had gotten her so intently interested in books, for it opened a whole new world to her.[A.N.---It's Curious George---one of my favorites when I was a child! :)] She enjoyed watching the emotions on Jasmine's face when she was reading, for it was the embodiment of innocence and she wondered if she showed her emotions like that when she was reading also. She turned back to her book and started again on her homework not noticing how the time was flying by.
~~~
Hermione was so absorbed in her book that she didn't notice the commotion to her right until Jasmine ran to her and climbed into her lap trying to hide. It was then that she noticed that Malfoy was comming straight for them and was looking furious and tieless. She held back a snicker but couldn't control a smile comming to her face, for she knew that Jasmine must have grabbed his tie again. Draco walked up to them grabbed Jasmine's arm and litterally yanked her out of Hermione's lap with a yelp of pain. Hermione instantly shot up and launched herself to her feet and slapped Malfoy protecting Jasmine from him. "Let her go Malfoy! You're hurting her!" Hermione screamed vehemently at him alerting Madame Pince to the commotion and she quickly came over. "She has my tie again, Granger! Tell the little brat to give it back, or else." Draco spat out trying to watch what he said in front of the librarian.
"She doesn't have it Malfoy! See for yourself, it's not in her hand and don't you dare threaten her!" she yelled back at Malfoy while bringing Jasmine behind her. Madame Pince looked at the child and did notice that she didn't have anything in her possesion. "Mr. Malfoy, I do not see your tie in her possesion. If she took it, which I would seriously doubt that this child would, she clearly doesn't have it now. If I hear that you bother this child again, I'll have to take this matter to Dumbledore. Now, I do believe that you owe this child an appology for hurting her." Madame Pince sternly warned him.
"Sorry." Draco muttered as he brushed by them and quickly left the library.
~~~
Jamie screamed in triumph as he steered the Firebolt around the Quidditch Pitch. Harry threw his head back and laughed as Jamie was having the time of his life guiding them on the broom.[A.N. ~You really think that I was going to let the child fly it alone...LOL] They had been flying for over two hours and Harry had let Jamie take control and have fun. Harry had been having a great time up here with Jamie and was happy that he found that they had both loved to fly. Just as Jamie was steering it around the far tower Harry spotted Ron running towards him trying to flag him down. Harry grabbed control of the broom and quickly steered it to the ground and landed.
"Harry....Hermione....just....told....me....about....Draco....and....Jasmine....they're....in....the....commonroom." Ron managed to gasp out between taking in gulps of air. At this news, Harry's face drained of all it's colour and he sprinted to the castle with Jamie trailing closely behind him and leaving Ron to catch his breath.
~~~
Harry ran through the halls until he came upon the portrait of The Fat Lady. He quickly shouted 'sugar quills' and ran through the entrance with Jamie a few meters behind him trying desperately to keep up. As he came into the commonroom, he noticed Hermione over in the corner gently rocking Jasmine as she cradled her arm. He ran over and kneeled down in front of them taking Jasmine in his arms and comforting her as Hermione told him everything that had happened. "She didn't have it Harry and he still accused her of it. I'm glad that Madame Pince was there though." Hermione told him meekly. Harry looked at her gratefully for what she had done and sat down beside her with Jamie climbing in Hermione's lap looking concerned at Jasmine.
~~~
After a few awkward minutes, Jasmine finally looked up at Harry. What he saw surprised him, for he saw a mixture of emotions on her face...love, compassion, but what was most alarming was distrust and an intense look of hatred. As Jasmine looked at Harry, she tugged at Hermione's robe trying to get something out of the pocket. Hermione looked down at what she was doing and gasped at what she saw...Malfoy's tie. It wasn't the tie that had surprised her, but what she had saw on the inside of it.
