Disclaimer: Sorry about all the grammar mistakes in the last chapter. I forget to read it over and I was tired when I was writing it. Anyways, I only own Jade, her mom, and someone else I just realized you comes up in later chapters but I'm not gonna tell who. . .it's a surprise. Enjoy!!!!!

"Jade, Jade wake up." Jade's blueish green eyes fluttered open and all she saw were large emerald eyes. She just stared at them for a few seconds before Harry's voice brought her out of the daze.
"You have to change into your uniform before we arrive, which is in about two or three minutes."
Jade shot up from the compartment seat, arousing laughs from Ron and Hermione. She turned a slight shade of red before grabbing her backpack and heading to a nearby bathroom. By the time she was finished, the train had stopped and Harry, Ron, Hermione were waiting for her to exit. It was still raining hard as the four left the train and stood on the Platform. Umbrellas were beginning to pop up everywhere.
"Well Ron and I have to go with the Prefects," Hermione said as she grabbed Ron's arm. "See you two at dinner."
She pulled Ron off before Jade or Harry could utter a good-bye, leaving the two alone. "We should get a carriage," Harry suggested. "We don't want to get too wet."
"I like the rain," Jade said slowly. "I think it's soothing and calming."

"I think it gets you wet really fast, and I don't want that," Harry said.
Jade laughed. "Then we'll get a carriage."

The two began to walk over to the dozens of carriages waiting for students to bring to the castle.
"What's up with the creepy horses?" she asked as Harry as he helped her into an empty carriage.
"You can see them?" he asked astonished.

"Yes," she said uneasily. "Doesn't everyone?"
"No, they are Thestrals," Harry explained slowly. "You can only see them if you've witnessed someone die."
Jade grew quiet as she sat down in a seat. Harry followed her in and sat next to her. He stared at her, waiting for her to explain who she had seen die.
"Do you see them?" she asked softly.

"Yes," he replied. "I saw Cedric Diggory die to the hands of Lord Voldemort in my Fourth Year and last year I saw. . . . ."
"My father," she finished for him. "You saw him die."

Harry nodded as the door to the carriage opened.
"Any room in here?" a voice asked.

"Yes," Harry replied as two bodies helped themselves into the carriage.
One person had sandy colored hair and definitely seemed to be Irish, Jade could tell he had been the one that had been speaking because of the accent. He had the Gryffindor cloak wrapped around him but took it off as he sat down across from Jade. She had to admit that he was sort of cute, not cute like Harry but a different kind of cute. The other person was a boy too, he was slightly overweight and was also wearing the Gryffindor cloak. He had a toad clutched between his fingers.
"Who are you?" the Irish boy with the sandy hair asked.

"Oh sorry, my name is Jade, Jade Black," she said as she extended her hand.
The sandy haired boy's eyes grew wide, as did the chubby boy's. "Black as in Sirius Black?" the sandy haired boy asked.
"Yes," Jade said slowly. "He was my father."

The sandy haired boy slowly extended his hand to shake Jade's. "Seamus Finnigan."
"Pleasure to meet you," she said smiling.
Seamus smiled back and his cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.
"I'm Neville Longbottom," the other boy said smiling. "I would shake your hand but I don't want to lose my toad Trevor, I've lost him enough in my day."
Jade smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Neville."

She looked over at Harry who was frowning slightly. "Something wrong?"
"Oh no," Harry said slowly. The truth was, he was jealous. Jealous that someone else was blushing because of something Jade said. Jealous that Jade was laughing at someone else. He tried not to let it show though.
The carriage began to move and Jade scooted over toward the window so she could look out. Jade gasped out loud. Even though it was pouring, the beauty of Hogwarts could be seen. It was a wonderfully large castle, looking at least seven stories high, with many towers. She looked over at the large lake and the many small boats floating across it. She gazed at the enormous forest, with hidden dangers in them. It was beautiful, purely beautiful.

Author's Note-Review people, I wanna know if these chapters have been up to par. And again I'm really sorry for the grammar mistakes. I am writing this at like 11:30 and I'm really tired, but I wanna keep writing. I have planned out the rest of the story in my mind and I think it's gonna be good. Lots of surprises!
