The next Saturday morning, Lily and Nia came downstairs around 7:20. They were coming down because Lily had forget one of her books downstairs, as soon as they came downstairs, they saw Tasha and Blake sleeping on the couch. Lily and Nia's mouth dropped in open in amusing surprise, "RISE AND SHINE!" Lily yelled to them. At once they Blake got up, realizing where he was, and who was looking at him expectantly, and blushed. "Nothing happened, I swear," was the first thing out of his mouth. Nia raised an eyebrow at him, but they both believed him.
Tasha was still peacefully sleeping on the couch. Blake gently kissed her on her cheek, and her eyes fluttered open. She looked at Nia and Lily and immediately blushed. "Nothing happened, guys!" she said to them.
They smiled, "We know. Blake told us,"
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Good,"
Blake said, "I have to head upstairs. Be back soon,"
Tasha smiled at him, "Okay," she said as she headed up the stairs, closely followed by Lily and Nia.
As she headed to her bed, Lily and Nia immediately told her, "Spill,"
Tasha grinned, but told them everything about last night, including how he rated as a kisser, an 8. Lily and Nia sighed dreamily, and Nia said, "I wish I had someone like that,"
Tasha looked at her strangely, "I've seen Remus looking at you a couple times. Why don't you invite him to tonight's dance thing,"
Nia blushed, while Lily's emerald green eyes went as wide as they could be. "THE DANCE! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT!" she screamed.
"Relax, it's hours away," Tasha said calmly.
"You've obviously never been to a Hogwarts dance," Nia stated matter- of-factly to her.
"I've only just arrived. DUH?" Tasha retorted.
"It's a figure of speech," Lily rolled her eyes. For the rest of the morning until breakfast, they told her about the dances.
In the boy's dorm however, James and Sirius bombarded Blake with questions, while Remus sat there, grinning widely, nudging Blake from time to time. "Who were you with, and what happened, buddy?" Sirius grinned at him, raising his eyebrows, making Blake laugh.
"I was with Tasha if you must know, and nothing happened. Except the fact that we kissed. A lot," Blake grinned dreamily.
James and Remus laughed out loud, and Sirius nudged Blake with a player's look on his face, "Was she a good kisser,?"
Blake grinned, "Hell yeah," He high-fived Sirius, while James asked him, "Are you going to ask her to tonight's dance?"
Blake shrugged, "Probably. She's so sweet!" James, Remus, and Sirius looked at each other.
"Sweet isn't a word to describe her. More like testy," Remus said carefully.
Blake lightly punched him on the shoulder, making Remus punch him back, making James and Sirius join in, laughing and being boys.
At around 9:00, Lily, Nia, and Tasha headed downstairs, each sporting a classy outfit. Lily was in khaki cargos, and a peasant shirt, with a emerald green while Nia was wearing a light blue tank with a butterfly fluttering on it, with forest green capris. She was wearing her birthstone earrings, and her locket. Tasha was wearing a long, dark denim skirt, that had various pins all around the pockets, and she wore her black leather bikini top as a bra, and a halter shirt, that had netting from a few inches above her belly button and down. She wore simple black Diesel's and her black choker.
They headed downstairs, and as they reached the Great Hall, they realized they were one of the last one's their. They blushed at all the heads that turned their way, and they sheepishly got into seats near the boys. Dumbledore cleared his throat, "Now that everyone's here," he smiled at the blushing girls, "Our feast must begin! But first, let me see all of the 6th and 7th years who will be present at tonight's dance,"
While all of the older students headed up toward the Head Table, all the younger students looked longingly at them, before remembering the small party in the dungeons, and turned back to their waiting food.
"Ahem. Tonight's dance will be dress robes only. Since you only came to Hogwarts just yesterday, the teachers and myself have kindly agreed to decorate the Great Hall. This is considered the fall dance for this year. The dance will began at 7:00. Oh yes, one more thing. For this dance, the boys can only ask the girls, and not vice versa. For the masquerade/costume party during the spring, the girls will ask the boys. Thank you, you may feast," he said dismissing them all, before turning to his food, and talking to Professor Sprout.
As the group of friends headed back to the Gryffindor table, they were shocked that the boys could pick the girls this time, but still pleasantly surprised. They were only eating and talking for a few minutes, when they heard a huge roar of owls, coming in the Great Hall. One owl landed in front of Remus, bearing the Daily Prophet. He paid the owl a knut, and it took off.
There was also a letter for Tasha. She was surprised, "I wonder whom this is from," She wondered out loud as they eagerly crowded around her, awaiting the letter. It said:
Dearest Natasha,
How is Hogwarts so far? I'm terribly sorry for the lack of time we spent together during your visit. I surely hope you will again stay with us next year. Since we never got to spend much time, I absent- mindedly forgot to give you this. As you now, your mother and our family, were the deepest of friends. So deep, that in her will, she gave me most of her jewelry, with instructions to keep it safe for you. Well, I'm returning what is rightfully yours, and I hope you keep it to yourself. I've also took the liberty of putting a charm on it, so that whoever besides you wears it, something absolutely dreadful will happen to them. Stay as sweet as always, dear. With all My Love, Susan Potter
P.S. My husband's letter is also enclosed in this envelope!
She looked inside the envelope, and indeed found another letter. She carefully opened it, and read the writing:
Hello Natasha, I trust that James is treating you kindly? Well, I believe Susan has told you everything you need to know in her letter, so I'll keep mine short and sweet. Enclosed in this letter is something very valuable. I gave one to James, Sirius, and Remus, and I will give one to you. It's a magical artifact that will allow you to tell if someone is telling the truth or lying. I'm giving one to you because I trust that you will guard it and take care of it. I gave one to them because. Well, I don't know why I gave it to them. But, good luck in Hogwarts, and I hope to see you next year!
Love, Thomas Potter
Tasha eagerly looked in the envelope and saw a simple pair of sunglasses. It was very cute. It was black, with dark black lenses like a mirror. It looked very suave, and when she put it on, she could see little readings and markings if she pressed a tiny button on the side of the glasses. "Yeah, we have those," Remus said to her awed, "Except our style is different,"
Tasha grinned, tilting the glasses, "I like this,"
They all laughed. Next, she looked through the medium-sized jewelry box that had a picture of her mom. She choked back a tear, and reached carefully inside. She drew out a beautiful pair of earrings that had diamonds on the part that was hanging out like a chain. "If that's diamonds, why is it black?" Tasha wondered, confused.
They were all confused, except for Lily who looked truly amazed. "I once saw that at Hogsmeade, in one of the small jewelry stores up north. Those are black diamonds. The most rare kind of jewel in the whole world. the muggle world hasn't even seen one! It only is in the magical world. One small diamond is worth about 10,000 galleons!" Lily concluded.
Sirius gave a low whistle, while Tasha sat there with her mouth open. "Wow." was all she said. She looked in the box some more, and saw a whole set of black diamond jewelry. There were 3 pairs of earrings, 2 necklaces, 4 bracelets, 5 rings, and 2 anklets. "Where did she get all this?" she muttered. She continued to look through the jewelry. She also saw a couple of emerald, jade, amethyst, diamond, and ruby jewelry. She was truly shocked. She headed upstairs, after telling her friends to meet her outside in the courtyard at 10:00, about an hour away.
As Tasha headed up to the common room, she was still shocked. She carefully put the jewelry box in the black drawer, with various quotes in pink on it. She locked it, and put a charm on it, so that only her could touch the box, and open the drawer. It had to be truly her, and no polyjuice potion or something could work.
She sighed, and fell on her bed. She rested for a while, until she decided to take a walk before meeting her friends at the courtyard.
