HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT.
I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT COMES WITH IT.
CHAPTER 17
Draco was staring at Jade. He couldn't believe he made such a stupid mistake. 'Jade was not the type of girl that would sit by and let him take charge of her life. A lot of girls would feel flattered that he wanted her to be his girl. I guess that living most of her life as a boy would make her more assertive. I will definitely need to remember that the only way to stay in a relationship with her was to have an equal relationship. That way, she could make her own decisions. I have never had a relationship like that but, he was going to have to get use to it. Who knows I might even like it. It should be interesting. Even I get tired of girls following me around like a puppy.' Draco thought.
"You are right. I should have let you have the option of rather or not you wanted to date someone else." He said.
"Do you want to tell me why?"
"I've been waiting to ask you out but, I wanted everything to calm down before I asked you but, with everything that has happened the last two days. I didn't feel it was right to add more complications for you to deal with. Then those Weasleys find out you're a beautiful girl and they jump right in and ask you out. One of them already kissed you. I guess I thought that since you have been friends with them for years. You might want to date someone you like to be around. I on the other hand have been anything but your friend. I didn't think that if you had a choice you wouldn't date me. " Draco said.
"Ok I understand but. You better not do it again. Oh if you're interested. Fred and George are like brothers to me. Besides I have already seen them naked. At least with you, there is still an element of surprise." She laughed.
They headed back to Hogwarts. They were both walking silently. Draco was thinking about asking her out of a date. While Jade was thinking about what Draco had just said.
'He has been waiting to ask me out. Yes! He is so cute and he is probably the only guy my father wouldn't kill or try to scare off. When is he going to ask me? I hope it is soon. I really hate waiting. I know. I will give him a couple of weeks and if he still doesn't ask I will ask him out myself. Maybe it would be better if I ask him that way Professor Snape can really say anything about it. ' She thought with a smile.
When they got back to the castle, they entered Professor Snape's rooms to find Severus sitting there relaxing. He asked them how the little meeting with the twins went.
"Fred and George were not aware of the plot to use me. In fact, they didn't think there was one. They are going to look into what Ron said and find out if Ron made it all up. When I stop and think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He has always been jealous of my fame and money. Which I find stupid because I would give up everything I have to have a family like his."
They went on to explain the reactions the twins had to the potion. "Oh, before I forget you had some mail come while you were out. I left it on the kitchen table." Her father told her. She left the room to get her mail. It was from Ron and Hermoine.
Harry;
We wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and to let you know that were still waiting for your gift to get here. It is currently back order. We should get it within a week and we will send it as soon as it arrives.
I also wanted to ask how you did on your OWLS. I heard that you almost tied with me. Oh I am ever so proud of you. Now that I know you can get good grades I expect you to keep up those scores. I even hope that you can beat me in a class or two. As your best friend .
Jade stopped reading the letter at this point. She was mad at herself. If she hadn't over heard them talking, she would still believe that they were her friends. 'How could someone be that good at acting? I never once doubted that they were my friends. She thought about How they must be laughing at my stupidity.' She was really getting angry the more Jade thought about her ex best friends the angrier she would get.
Back in the sitting room Draco was talking to Severus. When they heard, glass breaking and the kitchen door blow open with a gust of wind. They both ran into the kitchen to find out what was going on. They got there just in time to see the letter burst into flames. Draco was not too surprised that Jade was causing all the commotion. He had seen her do this before but, her father was just standing there in shock but gathered his wits a moment later. He started trying to get her attention but it wasn't working. By then the ground was shaking.
"Professor, I know how to get her to stop." Draco said. "This same thing happened earlier." Draco hurried over to her and kissed her.
After a minute or so Draco pulled back. He looked around and saw that the wind had died down and the ground had stopped shaking but, there were broken plates and glasses all around the room. He also noticed that the headmaster had arrived sometime during the commotion.
"Malfoy, when I said that you could try to stop her. I didn't mean that you could kiss her. That is my daughter you keep latching your lips on. There had to be a different way." Snape said with a glare.
"When this happened earlier, I didn't really have time to think. We were at the Leaky Caldron and everybody was trying to find who was responsible. I knew that we wouldn't want anyone to know that Jade was capable of wild magic or whatever this is, So I tried the first thing I could think of. I'm sorry but. It worked." Draco said with a grin.
"This is a very impressive development. Maybe we should go to the sitting room and find out what caused it." Dumbledore stated.
Jade was a little uncomfortable with everyone watching her. Luckily the headmaster quickly started asking her questions
"Jade the first thing I need to know is what caused the disturbance?"
"I got a letter from Ron and Hermoine. I have been angry with them ever since I overheard them talking about me. So when I started to read their letter everything they wrote was a lie. It made me mad. The more I read the angrier I became. So I stopped reading but, I guess I started thinking about everything they said and all the lies and you saw the results." She said
"What happened in the Leaky Caldron?" Severus asked.
"I got angry when Weasley and Granger walked in the pub. I guess just seeing them was enough to set me off."
"Why are you calling them by their last names? Can you tell me what you overheard them saying?"
As far as I'm concerned they are not my friends so I will never call them by name again. As for what I heard them say." She stopped talking. She could tell she was losing control her temper.
There was a strong gust of wind blowing thru the room. 'What's going on? There shouldn't be any wind there were any windows down here in the dungeons. There is no way I could be making the wind blow. There has to be an explanation for this.' She thought.
She calmed down when Draco took her hand. She turned to the headmaster and asked. "Do you think Draco or Professor Snape can tell you later? If I tell, you know who know what I might accidentally do."
"That's fine." The Headmaster said.
"So both times you lost control of your magic you were angry?" Her Father asked.
Jade wasn't sure if she should tell them about the time she blew up her aunt. So she didn't answer right away.
"Today isn't the first time she lost control of her magic. Jade, you need to tell them about what happened with your aunt." Draco said.
She could feel them all looking at her. 'They would keep asking if I don't tell them. I might as well get it over with.'
"I have done lots of things when I was angry or upset. What Draco is talking about happened back in the summer before third year. Uncle Vernon's sister came for a week long visit. She been ragging me all week about my parent and I lost it one night. She blew up like a balloon. She was floating on the ceiling when I left." She told them.
"I am aware of what happened to your aunt. Everyone assumed you used your wand." The Headmaster said. "You did that without your wand?" When she nodded, he asked.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I thought it was just normal accidental magic. Draco told me today that most accidental magic is small things like changing hair color. Is that true?"
"Yes Jade blowing up your aunt is not accidental magic." Her father told her.
"Jade I need you to tell me everything you did that you thought was accidental magic no matter how small. We need to know everything so we know what we are dealing with and how to help you control it." Albus said. " If you can remember, we also need to know what was going on when it happened."
"I did some small things like turning my cup of water into juice and turning my teacher's hair blue. One time I was being chased by Dudley and his friends. I tried to jump behind a garbage can to hide. I ended up on top of the school's roof. Another time my aunt cut my hair so that all I had are my bangs. The next morning my hair was back to normal. Once I was in trouble because the plants in my aunt's garden were dying. I touched the flowers and they perked right back to normal. The only other thing I can remember is while at the Zoo I was talking to a snake when Dudley punched me and shoved me to the ground. I got mad and somehow made the glass window disappear. Other than what happened today I think is it." She answered.
Ok I think I know what is going on now. If you and your father would meet me in my office in an hour, I will have some of the answers and books for you to read. The headmaster said. Then he quickly left.
