I don't own anything. But I do remember that I own Keyla, so you can't sue
me for owning her (doesn't that sound nasty).
*self thoughts* bold =yelling and or shouting
A few weeks had gone by since Jade had sent the owl (with Keylas help, of course), and she went back to her daily activities. She hadn't heard for Hogwarts and had completely forgotten all about the school when on day at the bar a came it. Nothing remarkable about him: black hair, glasses, green eyes, medium build and average height. Nothing stood out. He was clothed in jeans and an orange and red stripped polo shirt. He seemed to be of about 16 years of age, but possibly older. He sat down at the bar and began looking at the drinks behind the counter.
"Can I help you?" asked a grey haired man of about 60.
"Yes. I'm looking for a Jade la Lee. I was told she works here." asked the young man.
"Yah. Hey Jade, ya gotta kid here who wants ta talk to ya."
"Thanks Wilson." cried back Jade.
Walking over to the boy who Wilson had just left, Jade looked him over, sizing him up. She didn't know who he was, but she hoped it wasn't a new recruit from the X-Men here to get her and bring her back. That's the last thing she wanted but the first thing that popped into her head."
"You want to talk to me?" she asked.
"Yes. My name is Harry Potter. I'm from Hogwarts. I'm here to help you get your things organized." He replied promptly. He hadn't expected her to be Jade la Lee. He was thinking that she was a blond French girl, like some of the other waitresses appeared to be. He was wrong. She seemed to be thinking for a moment, as if she didn't know anything he was talking about. Then she apparently remembered.
"Oh. Yah. Sorry, I didn't know you were coming today."
Jade was relieved. She now remembered that Hogwarts was going to send someone to help her with her things.
"You should have gotten an owl ahead of time. I went to your apartment but you didn't answer and your friend said this was were you worked. She said she would call ahead to tell you"
"She didn't call me and I didn't get an owl." Jade stated flatly.
Just then, Wilson stuck his head out of the kitchen.
"Hey Jade. Your friend Keyla called and said you got a message that someone was coming to see you about a school. Then she called again to say that a Mr. Potter from the school was here to see you and that she was sending him down to talk to you."
Wilson went back in the kitchen. Jade looked miffed.
"Let me rephrase that. I got both messages but my friend got them and called here and no one checked the answering machine."
"Anyway, I have the information about the school for you." Harry said.
"'Kay." She then stuck her head in the kitchen. "Hey Wilson, can I get off early today?"
"Sure. It's a slow day and Connie can handle it." came a voice from within the kitchen.
"Thanks." Turning back to Harry, "'Kay, lets go."
Harry and Jade made there way outside, neither of them making a word, just enjoying the silence and each others company. Jade broke the silence after a few minutes of walking.
"So, where exactly is Hogwarts?" Jade had been wondering about it since she couldn't find anything about it on the internet.
"Its a few hours drive north of London." Harry said simply.
"It's near London? Did you just get off a plane? Its, what, an eleven hour flight? You must be exhausted."
"Yes. It was a very tiring flight."
"That's it then. Before we get into the whole Hogwarts magic stuff, you are taking a nap."
"But I don't need one."
"O.K. then, how about this. I won't discuss anything with you until you've had a nap."
"Fine then. But I don't think I need one."
"Trust me. Once you hit the pillow, you'll be off in dreamland."
True to her word, once they got back to her apartment, Harry fell asleep on the couch right as he hit the pillow. Jade changed into her workout cloths and sent Keyla over to watch on him in case he wakes up and she's not there. 2 and a half hours later, Harry woke up feeling refreshed. Upon seeing that Jade was no longer in the apartment but that her friend Keyla was, he asked her were Jade had gone off to.
"Oh, she went to the dojo."
"What's a dojo?" Harry asked, having never heard that word before.
"It's were a person goes to practice martial arts or with Asian-style weapons. I can take you there if you want."
Harry agreed and they went off to the dojo. After 5 minutes of walking, they finally reached it and went inside. Jade was currently practicing with the sai, and was going against her trainer who had a long bo staff.
"What is she fighting with?" Harry asked.
"Those are called sai. I think they're from Japan, but I might be wrong. Her opponent is fighting with a long bo staff." replied Keyla.
They watched Jade for a few moments on until she finally saw them and quickly ended the practice. She bowed to her instructor, grabbed her towel and gym bag, put her sai away and headed over to Harry and Keyla.
"Hey guys. I see you woke up, Harry."
"Yes, and Keyla told me you were down here so we came down to see you practice. I hope you don't mind." said Harry, sheepishly.
"I don't mind. I actually like people watching. Then I can show off my stuff."
Harry seemed to relax. Then he felt braver.
"That was amazing."
"Thanks. It's not the only thing I do though, just one of the best." said Jade.
"You mean you fight with other weapons too?" Harry sounded genuinely impressed. He had never met anyone like Jade before, and it was nice to get away from the usual personalities at Hogwarts.
"She also fights with long and short swords, long and short bo staffs, chain whips and shiraken." Keyla said for Jade.
"Don't forget throwing knives or my ninja training or my gymnastics." added Jade.
"Yah. That too." said Keyla.
Harry had his mouth hanging open, stile trying to absorb the list of what she can do. Having heard about these things from Muggle friends, Harry only knew a small amount of information about these things.
"You can close your mouth now, you know." said Jade.
Shaken out of his stupor, Harry shook his head.
"That's all amazing. I've never known anyone who can do those things and nobody at Hogwarts cares about these things."
"Nobody?' asked Jade.
"Nobody." said Harry.
"Sad. Anyway, tell me about Hogwarts."
And so he did. Keyla had to leave for work at 5:30 and Jade and Harry discussed the school and what she needed.
