HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT

CHAPTER 21

The room was silent. The Headmaster knew Jade, a little better then anyone else in the room. He was hoping that she would react the way she normally would. Before that awful night he told her about the prophecy the night before her godfather died. She would just listen to what was being said. Then calmly discuss the matter. Now he wasn't sure how she would react. Her father readily admitted that he didn't know his daughter well enough to know how she would take the news. Draco on the other hand was waiting for things to start flying and the ground to shake. He figured that if just looking at her former best friends made her mad enough to lose control. Then finding out that she was supposed to kill the dark lord would make her angrier then ever before.

After a while they realized that Jade was taking the information calmly. They were not sure if that was a good sign or not.

Jade was getting tired of them staring at her "What? You are acting like all this is something surprising. If you stop and think about it you would know that you have suspected something like this all along. I know I thought that somewhere along the line I would have a hand in whatever was done about Voldemort. How many times has he either tried to get me to join him or kill me? I might have thought that I would help someone kill him. So instead I will be the one that gets rid of him. I don't think it comes as a real surprise to anyone. I mean, if you think about the other prophecy it is just one more saying the same thing."

Draco was looking at her strangely "How can you be so calm and accepting about it?"

"What good would it do to get all upset and worried about it? I might not know how I will be able to kill him. I know my father and Professor Dumbledore will help me prepare for what I have to do. Besides some once told me. 'There is no use worrying about what might come because we will deal with it when it gets here."' She said with a shrug.

Professor Dumbledore's eye's were twinkling. "Those are some very wise words. We will help you in any way we can but, remember that you don't have to do it all alone."

"I know you are the one that has to kill him but, I will be there at your side every step of the way." Her father told her.

The week that Jade spent at Snape Manor was a bonding experience. She spent most of her time with her father. They spent time just talking to each other. Jade was a little surprised that her father was nothing like she had thought. She found out that beneath the mask of a snarling angry man. Was a soft hearted and protective man. She thought that it was sad that he rarely let anyone see past the mask. She was starting to really care about him.

They would practice making potions and Jade was relieved to find that she was able to make some of the hardest, potions with very little effort. Draco helped her with her wandless magic. She was doing pretty well but, she still had a lot to learn yet. They were confident that she would be able to everything Draco was teaching her by Christmas.

Jade also worked on the air and earth elements. Her father was extremely pleased with the results. There was only so much she could do with the earth element without doing a lot of damage. So she made her father a garden with almost all the plants that he uses in his potions. It took a lot of trying before she finally got the hang of it. In the end she was able to make all the plants grow from seeds and cuttings.

When they arrived back at Hogwarts, she found a letter waiting for her.

To our beautiful Jade;

We write this letter to tell you about our conversation with Ron.

We wanted to find out what the git was doing. Since we wanted to be sure, he told us the truth we used one of our new inventions. We made some new candy for the order that is laced with truth serum. We named it confession candies.

We came home last night to find Ron in a big snit. Being the great brothers that we are, Naturally we wanted to find out what was bothering our baby brother. We slipped him some of the candy.

It was the most enlighten conversation we have ever had with our little brother. It turns out that Ron has been mad that you since the tri-wizard tournament. Hermione, has been upset since your third year. Something about your firebolt. And you get all the credit because she is a muggle born. Last summer they talked and decided to keep tabs on you so that they can find out what is going on. Then get you out of the way so that they can come running in to take all the credit and show everyone that they were the heroes all along. While you always did nothing but, get the attention.

After finding out what they have been up to we took Ron to mum and made him tell her everything. We have never seen her so mad. Ron will be having a very busy summer.

Mum wanted to know how we found out their plans. After we told her that you overheard Ron saying that the whole family was using you. She sent you a letter. When it came back, she asked us to tell you that she is very sorry about what Ron did and that she hopes you will believe that the only person that had been planning anything was Ron.

We should have the prank you wanted before school starts. If you can shop by in a couple of days we will have it ready for you.

Fred and George

Jade was not sure how to feel about the Weasleys. She was happy the twins thought that it was only Ron planning to use her. She really wanted to believe them but she wasn't sure if she should. She decided to see how everything went and go from there.
