Chapter 2
In the middle of October, Cho Chang told Jade to come and watch the next Ravenclaw's quidditch practice. So, after breakfast on a foggy Saturday morning, Jade and Rita went to the quidditch pitch and watched the practice. Two teams were practising at that time: Ravenclaw on one side, and Slytherin on the other. And, to be honest, Slytherins looked way better prepared than Ravenclaws. After an hour, Casey Jones, Ravenclaw's Captain, asked Jade to show them her quidditch skills. He lended her his Nimbus 2000 and released the snitch. Jade was really a good flyer, she caught the snitch after just a few seconds. Her second try was even better – she let the snitch fly off for a few minutes, and then she stormed after it. Casey was obviously shocked. »Girl, I think you're faster than Potter. And on a Nimbus. What would you do on a Firebolt, than? Welcome to the team.« »Well, thanks.« She had no idea it would go that easy, but on that broom, she felt like she could do almost anything. They practised for another hour and than headed towards the castle. »Hey, Jade.« She turned around and saw Malfoy sitting on the tribune. He wawed her to come closer, so she said Rita to meet her in the library and sat besides him on the wooden bench. »I saw you flying on that Nimbus. You're pretty good, you look way faster than Potter.« »Thanks, Draco. But I don't think I'm that fast. I'm sure...wait, is Harry Potter the Gryffindor seeker?« »Didn't you know? I thought everyone knew he was the youngest seeker in the last century.« »Oh, well, that doesn't mean he's the fastest, does it now?« Draco grinned. Jade thought he was really good-looking with his silvery hair and those pretty grey eyes. He was actually pretty tall, although he seemed rather short among his Slytherin friends who were mostly large bullies. »Look, I was thinking...erm...are you staying on Hogwarts for the Haloween?« »Yeah. At first, I was gonna go home to the States, but now, I think I'll stay here. You know, studying and all.« »Yeah, I get it. Well, if you'll stay here, will you go to Hogsmeade sometime? With your friends, I mean.« »Probably. I can't wait to see all those shops and Rita promissed me to show me the Shrieking Shack. I just gotta see that.« »Oh, yeah. That place is really haunted.« Draco thought of the time he saw Potter's head there and he got some pretty bad bumps, not to mention his ruined robes. It was almost lunch time, so they slowly headed towards the castle. »You know, this year almost everyone's staying on Hogwarts, 'cos Dumbledore promissed to organise a Haloween Ball.« »Yes, I heard that. I can't wait.« »Well...Oh, hi Pansy.« Pansy Parkinson and her friends were standing near the entrance and she was obviously waiting for Draco. »Hello, Draco. Listen, would you happen to have the Ancient Runes homework? I'm really confused about something.« »Um, well, actually I was just gonna go finish it, but...« »Oh, great. Then, we can do it together.« Pansy grabbed Draco's arm and pulled him towards the dungeons. »Um, bye, Jade.« »Bye, Draco. See ya.« Jade decided to go to the library and finish her homework. Luckily, Joy and Rita were already waiting for her, and Joy had already finished most of her homework.
