~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry stared at Hermione curiously as she pulled the Slytherin tie out of her robe. It was then that both Harry and Ron had seen just what she was surprised about. There on the back of the tie was a pin. This was not just an ordinary pin for it was the exact replica of the dark mark. He was one of Voldemort's followers, but not just any for he was a junior death eater. Too young to have the dark mark imprinted on his arm, he had to settle for the pin, a symbol of his loyalty to Voldemort and a promise to join him in the future. It was one thing to suspect him, but to actually find out was something entirely different.
"I bloody knew it! I told you all Malfoys are no good! We should take this to Dumbledore!" Ron popped off while trying to grab the tie from Hermione but only to be beaten by Jasmine.
~~~
Jasmine gave the tie to Harry and laid her head on his shoulder contemplating what to do next. Harry looked down at her when it finally hit him. "Jasmine, you knew about this didn't you? Was this why you kept trying to get his tie?" Harry asked gently while pointing to the pin. The only response he got from her was a nod. Jamie leaned over and started rubbing her back trying to comfort her in the only way he could at the moment. Jasmine turned and looked down at Jamie and smiled gratefully as she snuggled into Harry.
~~~~~~
Even after a few days later Jasmine was still leery of Malfoy and wouldn't go near him. Much to his dislike, Jamie had taken to directing the brunt of his pranks on the Slytherin boy for retribution for what he had done to Jasmine. Even now Jamie had planned on getting a certain blond haired boy again. Hagrid was supposed to be watching him and Jasmine but he had snuck out of the cottage and headed towards the castle planning his next move.
~~~
Jamie snuck into the castle and kept an eye out for anyone that might spot him and alert Harry or even Hermione. He wasn't worried too much about running into Harry and Ron because they had quidditch practice at the moment and Hermione was studying in the library by herself. She had muttered something to Harry about getting behind in her studies from playing too much. He had only smiled and then nodded to her as he gently pushed her out of the common room and towards the library.
~~~
He turned the corner in the hallway and went to the passageway to his secret spot where he hid all of his 'treasures'. He quickly grabbed up what he needed and sprinted towards the nearest bathroom to implicate his plan. Malfoy would finally pay for what he had done and realize that Jamie was not a person that he would want to reckon with. He ran to the nearest stall and placed all his items down and turned to go to the sink for the much needed water. After he had gotten a bucket of water he sat down in the stall and started on his concoction.
~~~
Just as Jamie was tying a filled balloon he heard a shout of delight from behind. "What's this? Trying to cause some trouble are we? ' Tut, tut, tut. Naughty, naughty, you'll get caughty. ' Going to have to tell. Yes, I am." Jamie turned around and much to his discomfort faced Peeves. He then grinned up at him and simply asked, "Will you help me Peeves? Please. I need help tying them and I know that you love to throw water balloons because Harry told me that you did that to him one year." Peeves was a bit taken aback by this child's behavior and decided that he instantly liked him. He grinned deviously at the boy and quickly started to help him with his toils.
~~~
The two of them left the bathroom with their spoils and went to search for their victim. Peeves had went ahead of Jamie to make sure that the coast was clear as he trudged along with most of the water type filled missiles. They had come upon the top of the staircase above the main entrance of the castle when they saw them. The entire Slytherin quidditch team was just on their way out the door when Harry, Ron, Jasmine and the rest of the Gryffindor team was coming in. As soon as he saw the expression on Jasmine's face that she saw him, he launched the first one and hit Malfoy dead smack in the back of the head. After that, all pandemonium broke loose as the Slytherin students tried to run for cover as Jamie and Peeves bombarded them with the balloons.
~~~
By the time Professor McGonagall had arrived at the scene, the two had just finished throwing the last of the balloons they had and the entire Slytherin team was soaked to the bone. The changes wouldn't happen till later, much to Jamie's chagrin. "Peeves! What do you think you are doing soaking these students and enlisting the help of a child no less! I'm going to have to take this matter to Dumbledore at once." Professor McGonagall yelled at him a bit aghast. Just as Jamie was about to yell down to her the truth, Peeves stopped him and shook his head. He was going to take the full blame for this. Jamie looked up at him gratefully and vowed to help his new-found friend when it came time that he needed him.
~~~
Professor McGonagall swiftly went to see Dumbledore as the students cleared out of the hall. Harry took the twins up to the commonroom and sat down on the couch bursting into laughter along with the rest of the team. Everyone that had been in the common room looked at them quizzingly wondering why the outburst. They couldn't get any of them calmed down enough to get any answers and were starting to get a little irritated just as Hermione and Sirius walked through the portrait.
~~~
Hermione walked over to Harry and asked him if he knew what had happened in the corridors just a few minutes ago. This sent them into a bigger round of hysterics and Ron fell to the floor gasping for air. Hermione looked at them disapprovingly as she turned to see Jasmine give Jamie a hug and kiss him on the cheek. Jamie looked up at Hermione and stated, "I did it. I wanted to get Malfoy back for hurting Jasmine, so I threw water balloons at him."
"But Minerva said that Peeves had done it and that you helped him." Sirius blurted out.
"Nope! He found me in the bathroom putting them together. I thought he was going to tell at first, but then he started to help me after I asked him." Jamie said proudly.
"I thought Peeves hated everyone. I've never seen him take a liking to anyone." Ron asked finally getting his breath back as everyone listened intently to the conversation. Sirius shook his head and stated a bit unbelievably, "I've only seen him take a liking to only one person." As he said this, he looked at Harry.
~~~
Harry was fixing to question him on whom that person was, but Jamie interrupted him. "Wait till you see what happens next. You should notice it around dinner time. It wasn't just water that was in those balloons. Made it myself too, well Jasmine helped a little. She got me the items I needed." Jamie informed all of them as he looked around proudly at what he had accomplished. He couldn't wait till dinner time and see the look on all of their faces. It was going to be priceless!
~~~
Harry had tried to find out what exactly was in the balloons but to no avail. Jamie wouldn't tell and he certainly wouldn't spoil the surprise for them now that it was so close to dinnertime. He and Ron started up a game of wizard's chess while Hermione and Sirius talked and watched over the twins that were playing a game of exploding snap in front of the fireplace. Sirius had caught Hermione sneaking glances at Harry when she thought he wasn't looking. "What's this? She fancies him? Who would have thought?" Sirius thought as he watched with added interest.
~~~
Harry looked up as Hermione was staring at him and smiled sweetly at her as he made his next move and soon lost the game. She instantly blushed and looked away as Sirius ginned mischievously with knowing for sure now. He was going to have to enlist the twins help on this, but he knew that it would work out. He knew how the twins had grown attached to both Harry and Hermione and hoped that they would help out. Sirius sat back with satisfaction on his face as a plan began to brew in his head.
~~~
Dinnertime had come swiftly and the entire Gryffindor house awaited the arrival of the Slytherin team to see what will transpire. As the door to the hall had opened silence filled the room. Malfoy and his cronies entered unscathed and ventured towards the Slytherin table. Jamie smiled and started to snicker as just then the changes started to occur.
~~~
Should I stop here? Nah, I'm not that mean.
~~~
Right before the entire student body and to the Slytherins' horror, their transformation was going into full swing. Their skin had taken on a silvery tint with their hair turning bright neon green and their eyes glowed an eerie crimson red. This wouldn't have been so bad, for it was their house colors except that their skin had taken on the appearance of having scales also. The entire hall burst into laughter as the complete sight enfolded before them. Snape had jumped to his feet and ran quickly to them with McGonagall right behind him. "I want Peeves punished for this Minerva. He has got to stop these attacks on our students." Snape spat out with disgust.
"He means HIS students." Ron whispered to Harry.
Harry silently agreed with Ron and tried to listen to McGonagall and Snape talking to the Slytherin boys.
~~~
As they were walking back to their common room, Harry had noticed that Sirius had walked a few steps behind him with the twins in his arms talking quietly about something. He was wondering what his god-father was up to when Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side to let them pass. Not noticing that he had walked right by them, Sirius continued on to the common room. As he was whispering his plot to get the two together to the twins, Hermione pointed out to Harry that Sirius was definitely up to something. He nodded in agreement and they quickly followed behind to try to overhear what they were so secretive about. Just as Harry heard his name, Jasmine spotted him and squealed in alarm to Sirius. Sirius muttered that he would get together with them later and put the two down as he said his good-byes to everyone.

A.N. Ohh, a longer one! LOL I hope you enjoy this chapter…as for the next…Jamie retaliates against Professor McGonagall for punishing Peeves too harshly…prepare to spit your soda out for it is going to be a very out of character type of situation for her when he does this and I've been told that it is very funny and quite original. As for Harry and Hermione getting together…soon, very soon. Thanks for taking the time to read my humble story and I hope you've enjoyed it so far.
