The Flower's Past
Selena stayed and hung out with the four Gryffindors for the rest of the day, though Jasmine wasn't very good company. "I lost, I can't believe it... I actually lost!" She kept grumbling. After dinner time, Selena suddenly said that she had to go and dissapeared in a wisp of colorful smokey air.
The next day, a large tawny owl came to Hermione and gave her the Daily Prophet. She nearly spit out her pumpkin juice when she saw the headline. "Deatheaters behind an attack at The Museum of Elvish culture. It is believed that they have stolen a large book dating back to 1292, 'The encyclopedia of elemental Elves'." She read aloud. Jasmine paled.

"I thought that book was destroyed!" she looked outraged. "Ohh, Shit! This is really really really really really bad." She bit her nails. "I bet he's going to find out stuff like how to kill us or something," she looked like a nervous wreck. "What am I afraid of, he's just a wizard. Just a stupid, powerless wizard..." she went off muttering to herself.

Hermione read on to the other pages. "Deatheater attacks also in Surry- again, geez. Edinburgh, and newcastle. Wow. They're really not playing around." Harry snorted.

"Playing around? We're talking about Voldemort here- Ron!" The red haired boy had flinched at the use of the evil wizard's name. "You really have to get over this. Geez.

Classes seemed to go very slowly that day. Especially with Jasmine spaced out all day.

After dinner, Jasmine excused herself with the excuse that she had to do something. That didn't sound right. Harry, being the nosy person he was, waited a minute, then followed her. She went up to the Astronomy tower and just sat on the ledge, staring at the stars. Harry stood behind her silently.

"Do you see that star over there?" Jasmine asked suddenly. Harry jumped. He didn't know she knew he was there. He walked up next to her and looked in the direstion she was pointing. He saw a bright star and nodded his answer.

"So you ever miss him nowadays?" She was staring at the star the whole time, as if afraid to look away, as if it'd dissapear if she did.

"Who?" Harry was confused.

"Your godfather. I know you can't have forgotten him." Harry threw her a wary look. How did she know about Sirius?

She took his silence as an answer and said with a slight edge to her voice. "You know. Today's his birthday. You could always see that star so clearly on his birthday." Jasmine still hadn't looked at Harry, her eyes locked on the star.

Harry was still confused. He didn't want Jasmine to think he was weak about Sirius for some reason. "I don't miss him" he said stubbornly.

She tore her eyes off the star for a moment. "Don't you? I do. I always will. forever and ever and ever..."

By this time Harry was a little wierded out. "You know Sirius? How?"

"You do miss him" was her reply.

He nodded. "Well, you wouldn't be happy if one of the first and only people who cared for you died, would you?"

"Are you?"

"Yes. How did you know him?"

"How did you meet him?"

"Can you stop answering a question with a question?" Harry cried, exasperated.

"Can I?"

"AAAARGH!"

"Yes, I can. I met him when I went to Hogwarts. He, Remus and your parents were really cool people." She looked back to the dog star.

"You went to Hogwarts with them?! Why didn't you tell me?" Harry sounded angry but didn't feel angry. "Why do you go to school so often? If I was to live forever, I'd not spend half my life at school."

"You can always learn more things. If I only went to school in the Dark Ages, I'd be all medievil. That might freak a few people out, don'tcha think? Even Antonio goes to school every once in a while." A cloud covered Sirius' star, Jasmine looked away from it at Harry.

Harry looked like he had hundreds of questions to ask her, and started. "Was my dad really arrogant? Did my mum really like her? Was Pettigrew always evil? Were you close friends to them?"

"Woah, slow down there, buddy. "Was James arrogant? A little... Ok, a lot-" she let out a soft laugh. "But he started to stop being so arrogant in about sixth year, yeah. Yes your mother liked him! Why else would they get married? What were Your other questions?

Harry repeated them then started to ramble on with other questions, but Jasmine cut him off with the question asking, saying if he learned too much his head was liable to explode. "Haha, very funny," was his reply.

After their conversation, there was an odd silence as they both looked at the star. It wasn't an awkward one, just odd. Jasmine looked at Harry a minute and saw silent tears well up in his eyes. He hastily wiped them away before they fell, hoping she hadn't seen. She walked up to him and put a comforting arm over his shoulder.

"You know, Harry. He's always there watching over you. As long as that star comes out at night, he's here. He's never ever going to go away. He'll never forget you and one day, after Voldemort's defeated and you're old and gray, you'll see him again. Him and your parents."

The next day both Jasmine had gone about doing their school work and hadn't spoken of the night before until lunch.

"Do you miss my parents?" Harry had asked out of the blue. Hermione and Ron looked confused.

"Huh?" said Ron, "Does who miss your parents?"

Harry had a clouded look on his face, "Jasmine," he said somewhat distantly.

"Jasmine knew your parents, Harry?"

"I'm right here..." Jasmine informed them, laughing. She felt weird being talked about whilst she was sitting right in front of them.

Harry and Jasmine explained how Jasmine had gone to school with the Marauders. "OH! Harry, I've got the BEST baby picture of you!" Jasmine said, beggining to crack up laughing.

Harry turned red, wondering if she really had a baby picture of him.

"So," Harry said, returning to his original question. "Do you miss my parents?" He pushed his food aside, having given up on it a while before.

"Of course I do, I miss them all, even Peter-"

"But Peter's not dead."

"He's dead to me." She looked sad as she contimued. "However, I knew Sirius was going to have some sort of horrible fate, because I dated him"

Harry said "You dated him?" at the same time Hermione said, "Why," and Ron said "huh?"

"Yes I dated him. Not very serioulsly though- haha, no pun intended." Her face fell. "Antonio- stupi stupid STUPID Antonio- never told me that a fire elf cannot just date a witch, wizard or muggle. If they do, the witch, wizard or muggle shall have a horrible fate. You can only date a non-elemental elf being if you marry him or her. He told me this AFTER i'd dated quite a few non elemetal elves. I wanted to give him a horrible fate" she scowled. "In fact, you know one of the other people I dated."

"Who?" three voices chimed.

"Look behind you."

Harry looked behind him, but all he saw was Nearly Headless Nick.

Nearly Headless Nick...

I was going to leave a cliffie, but decided to be nice. I'm sorry the chapter is so short, I'm just so tired and really want to post this chappie today.
