HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT.
CHAPTER 19
When everyone left the headmasters office, Draco went directly to the hospital ward to see his mother. He wanted to see her just to make sure see was all right. Draco recently loss his father and now his mother was hurt by the same people that killed his father. After talking to his mother he was finally reassured that she would be fine. Then he was immediately kicked out by the nurse.
Not feeling like going to bed just to toss and turn all night. He went outside to sit by the lake. When he arrived at the lake, He noticed that he wasn't the only one there.
Jade was sitting at the edge of the lake her feet gently splashing in the water. She looked up when he approached her. "How's your mum doing?"
"She had a broken arm some bumps and bruises but that has all been healed. She is being kept overnight so they can keep an eye on her."
"Draco I know what you are feeling. You think that if you had joined Voldemort your mother wouldn't have been hurt. You're wrong. Voldemort would have found a reason to hurt her." Jade said.
"How would you know?" Draco said angrily.
She sighed and said. "Not many people know but. I share a connection with Voldemort. The night he gave me this scar somehow he created a link between us. Sometimes when I'm asleep I get visions of what he is doing. I have seen him curse his death eaters just because he enjoys it. Sooner or later he would have hurt her."
"I know you're right but. I still feel responsible."
"I know what that is like. Look, what happened to my aunt and uncle. They were killed because they took me into their house but, even if I never lived with them they would have died because they were related to me and the fact they were muggles would have been an added bonus." She explained "Your mother and father wanted you to have a choice so don't throw it all away because your mum got hurt. Just remember that they loved you enough to give you the choice. She had to know that Voldemort would be furious but. She let you choose anyway."
They just sat there holding hands looking at the giant squid swim across the lake. That is how her father found them. He informed them it was time to head to bed.
The next morning Dumbledore gave them their school supply list early. It had been decided that the two teenagers should get all their supplies before everybody else received their lists. The adults worried that once the lists were out death eaters would be looking for Draco. Hoping to catch him, When he went to buy his school supplies.
After they had breakfast, the group of four walked in Diagon Alley. Narcissa Malfoy and Jade decided to look in a new clothing store that had just opened while the men went to Gringotts. Surprisingly the two ladies hit it right off. Pretty soon they were helping each other find outfits. They were having such a good time that they didn't notice that they were being watched.
Two racks away was Draco's ex girlfriend Pansy Parkinson. Draco's mother had never really liked her and she couldn't help to feel a little jealous. It didn't bother her that she and Draco broke up. It just bothered her that Draco's mother seemed to really like this girl. She was very curious to find out who this new girl was and if she was Draco's new girlfriend.
Narcissa was showing Jade a sexy green dress.
"Jade, I think I found the perfect dress for the date you were talking about. When are you going to ask him?" Jade had told her about what happened with the Weasley twins. Draco's mother found it funny that she was planning on asking Draco if he didn't ask her soon.
Jade tried the dress on and had to agree it was prefect. When she came back to Narcissa, she saw Pansy talking to her. Jade wasn't sure if she wanted to meet Pansy but figured it would be rude not to join them so she walked over to them.
"Jade how was the dress?" Narcissa asked
"You were right. The dress is wonderful. I can't wait to see the look on Draco's face " She laughed.
"Jade I would like you to meet Pansy Parkinson. Pansy, This is Jade Snape. Jade gave her a smile and said "It's nice to meet you, Pansy."
"It's nice to meet you too. Are you any relation to Severus Snape?" Pansy asked her.
"Yes, He is my father. I take it that you go to Hogwarts."
Pansy nodded. "I didn't know he had a daughter. What school do you go to?"
Draco and Severus arrived in time to hear Pansy's question.
"My daughter will be going to Hogwarts this year. She has been home schooled until now." Professor Snape said. "So I'm sure you will have plenty of time to get to know Jade once school starts. " He turned to Narcissa and Jade other two and asked "Are you done shopping? We still have a lot of places to stop at."
"Yes I believe we are done here. We need to pay for our selections then we can be off." Narcissa told him.
Jade started to walk over to pay for the clothes when her father took them from her and walked over to the register to paid for them. While Severus and Narcissa were paying for the purchases, Draco was stuck with the two girls. He was getting a little uncomfortable not sure what to say. Here he was standing with his ex girlfriend and what he hoped to be his new one. Talk about an uncomfortable situation.
Jade knew how uncomfortable Draco must be so she decided to break the awful silence "What house are you in at Hogwarts? I'm hoping to be in Slytherin myself."
"I'm in Slytherin. I hope you get in there with us. I don't really have anyone to talk to. There are a couple other girls in our year but, they're not the type that I can talk to about boys' and stuff. "
Draco laughed and said "I know what you mean. I have to room with Crabbe and Goyle. They are not what you would call great conversationalists. Zambni doesn't talk much either."
Jade, you shouldn't have any problem getting into Slytherin after all your fathers is the head of house. Where else would they put you. Oh I can wait for school to begin. Think about all the girl talk we can have. "
After talking a little more, it was time to finish their shopping. With a quick good bye they headed out of the shop. When they were away from Pansy, Draco started to tease Jade about her new best friend.
"At least I wasn't the one dating her. I just meet the girl and she talking on and on about girl talk. I'm not sure I know how to girl talk. My luck she will be wanting to paint my toenail while she talks about every guy in school. Who kissed who, who's going out this person and that person and who is cheating on their boyfriend. I don't think I can do this. It was easier being a boy." Jade said.
Everyone was laughing. "It sounds like you know what girl talk is " Narcissa said.
"Just because I know what it is doesn't mean I know how or even want to learn how. How am I supposed to deal with all that? "
The conversation stopped when they entered the robe shop. Draco and Jade both got five pairs of new school robes. Then they went to the apothecary and got all their potion supplies. The next stop was 'Flourish and Blotts '. This was where they spent the most time. Jade decided to pick up some extra books and magazines. She just put the last book in her shopping caldron when someone came up behind her.
When she looked behind her, she noticed that Ron was in the store. She found it hard to believe he was in the bookstore without someone dragging in. So she looked around and sure enough Hermione was a few rows over looking at some books. She decided that she wasn't going to let them get to her. She refused to give them that much power. She also wanted to see how Ron would act when he wasn't around Harry Potter.
"Hi you must be new around here. I'm Ron Weasley. I would like to offer you a tour around Diagon Ally." He said.
I'm Jade. Thank you for offering to show me around but, I don't know you. I will just have to find my own way around.
"I'm Harry Potters' best friend. So you can't find a better person." Ron said with his chest puffed out.
Jade couldn't believe it. Ron was using the fact that Harry was his friend to pick up girls. She decided to see how far he would go with the best friend bit.
"Oh I didn't know Harry Potter was your best friend. I heard that he's mentally unstable. My father said that he is a stuck- up twit. That he struts around Hogwarts like he owns the place."
Jade could tell he was trying to figure out the best way to answer her. "Harry Potter can strut a little but, He is the golden boy. As for being mentally unstable I would have to agree that he is not all there. He got hit with the killing curse on the head it must have caused some damage. He tries so hard to be the hero that everyone thinks he is but, I have to save him more often then not. He gets all the credit."
Draco had been listening to them talk and knew Jade was testing Weasel. He was surprised that she hadn't blown him up by now. He knew soon she wouldn't be able to stop herself so he walked over to them.
"Jade, are you aware that you are talking to Potter's shadow. He wants to be the hero but, can't get out from behind the golden boy. He's pathetic really. Let's go somewhere away from him before we catch something." Draco said.
Jade just took Draco's hand and walked way from Ron. They watched as he stalked over to Hermione to complain to her.
"What's wrong now?" Hermione asked.
"That damn Malfoy. I really hate him. He's such a git. Why do we have to put up with Malfoy he's almost as bad as Harry? "
"We at least you were smart enough to make sure that they weren't friends. Just think what it would be like if those two were friends. I still don't now how you pulled that off." She said to cheer him up.
"It wasn't hard Harry was so pathetic. I was the first person to be nice to him. I could tell him anything and he would've believed me." They both laughed.
"I need to tell you that the twins have been acting weird. I think they know that we really don't like Harry. You didn't tell anyone did you?"
"Don't be stupid Ron. I didn't tell anyone but with the way you run off at the mouth. I wouldn't be surprised if you let it slip. Do you think they told your parents?"
"I don't think they have. Believe me if my mum found out I was just using Harry. The whole world would have heard her yelling."
"I guess, we will need to find out if the twins know. If they do, we can wipe it out of their memory. I am not willing to let all our hard work pretending to be Harry's best friends go down the drain. Give me a half hour to finish picking out some books then we can go and see your brothers. I still need to find a book that will help us control Harry. He is starting to keep secrets from us. I will not let that happen." She told him.
Draco could tell Jade was getting mad. The magic around her was swelling. So he kissed her but, he was not quick enough. When They pulled away from each another they saw Harry' s ex friends dripping wet. It looked like someone threw water on them. They couldn't help but start laughing.
Ron and Hermione were looking around trying to find who was responsible. "It looks like someone doesn't like you very much. " Draco sneered.
"Now Draco, that wasn't very nice. Did you see who did it?" Jade said.
"No I wish I did so I can congratulate them."
"Oh well I guess you might never find out. Lets go get some Ice cream."
Once Draco and Jade were away from the store they quickly went to warn the twins.
While Ron and Hermione were talking with the twins' Jade was trying out wands hoping to find one that would suit her now. It seemed like she was going to try every wand in the shop. Mr. Ollivander was having the time of his life. He finally stopped to really look at her and said. I have a few really powerful wands in the back. I think we should try some of them. I have a feeling we are wasting our time with these." He went over to the entrance of his shop. He put the closed sign on the door and locked it. "I will be right back. I think I know the perfect wand for you." Then he walked out of the room. He returned a couple minutes later holding a wand case that was made of gold and put it on the tabletop and turned to Jade and said."
"I need you come over here and take the wand out of the case. This wand was made by my great-grandfather. He left instructions that he didn't want anyone but the true owner to touch the wand until it had time to bond with the owners magic. No one but the true owner should be able to open the case. "
Jade walked toward the gold case. She was a little nervous about trying to open the case. She glanced at her father hoping to get some kind of idea of that he thought of all this but, his face was masked all she got, was a sight nod of his head. If he thought that would reassure her, he was mistaken. She had to wonder if she would ever understand him. Since she was getting no help from her father, she took a deep breath and reach out to open the case. Her hands trembled as she eased it open. She picked up the wand and she felt like she had found a piece of herself that had been missing for a long time. She had never felt so peaceful nor has she ever felt so content.
Severus Snape stared in shock at his daughter. When she picked up the wand, her whole body started to glow. She had a golden glow that seemed to radiate peace and happiness.
The Wand maker seemed almost giddy with the wand finally finding its owner.
Jade continued to glow for five minutes then it slowly receded until all that was left was a healthy glow of skin that was a little brighter than it normality was and her eyes were twinkling like she reached up onto the sky and plucked two stars. Jade's eyes twinkled a lot like the Headmaster's.
"It would seem that you have found your new wand" Mr. Ollivander said understating the magnitude of the bonding of Jade's Magic and the wand. "Your new wand is also made out of Holly but this time your core is made from a hair from a Griffin's tail that has been soaked in phoenix tears.
Severus paid a hefty sum for her new wand and walked this star- struck daughter out of the store. He quickly gathered the Malfoy's and they made their way back to Hogwarts.
