HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT

CHAPTER 22

The rest of the summer flew by for Jade. She was sitting in a compartment with Draco. As planed they were waiting for the rest of the student to arrive. Jade was lost in thought about her visit to the twins joke shop.

Jade talked her father into letting her go to Diagon Alley with Tonks to pick up the pranks the twins made for her. Much to her surprise Ron was there. The twins informed her that part of his punishment was to work in their store stocking and showing all the customers how the products worked. She had only been in the store for twenty minutes and he turned into a skunk, a canary, a pig and had a really bad rash. She thought that he deserved everything he got. She could hardly wait for the end of the feast. She was going to use the gender switching gum drops and spray some Veela charm potion on him. The house elves agreed to make sure that everyone at the feast would get a normal gum drop. Dobby was in charge of making sure that Ron had the gender switching candy. All Jade had to do was spray some Veela charm potion and cast a word delay charm so that it would only activate when Dumbledore said the word bed.

Jade was sitting next to Draco when Pansy entered the compartment. "Jade I can't tell you how excited, I am to see you here, I was afraid that I would have to wait till the train arrived at Hogwarts to see you. So what did you do this summer?"

"Hello Pansy. I spent most of the summer with my father and Draco. It's been one of the best summers I have ever had." She said sharing a smile with Draco.

"I'm so jealous. Draco how could you spend your summer with my new best friend. I should have been the one to spend it with her" Pansy pouted.

Before anyone could say anything else, the door to their compartment door slammed open. They all turned to see who was interrupting them. It turned out to be Ron Weasley.

"Jade, what do you think you are doing? You have no business sitting with a bunch of snakes. I guess it is up to me to inform you that these people are junior death eaters." Ron stated as he grabbed her and started dragging her out of the compartment.

"Weasel who do you think you are? You have no right touching my girlfriend let alone try to drag her anywhere." Draco said before Jade could say anything.

"You expect me to believe that Jade would ever look at you twice. No one in their right mind would choose you over me. You do remember when you tried to get Harry to be your friend. I prevented that from happening and I will do the same now. "Ron said arrogantly.

While the boys were arguing Jade quickly sprayed the potion and cast the charm on Ron.

"Funny you should mention Potter. Just where is your famous friend? You are his friend right?" Draco asked.

"Of course I'm Harry's friend. Why would you ask a question like that?" Ron asked.

"I always thought you were a little dim but. I really expected Granger to know better. How foolish can you guys be? You were out in public talking about your plan to use Potter. He was not the only one that over heard you two talking. You really should have made sure no one could hear you. No matter how forgiving Potter might be. He will never forgive either of you for something like that." Draco laughed.

"I'm sorry to interrupt such an interesting conversation but, I feel that I have the right to choose whom I want to be my friends." Jade said.

I don't need to wait for her to tell us who she would prefer to be friends with. Anyone would choose me over you any day of the week. Just like Harry did. I took him away from you with so little effort. If I had not been with him when you talked to him on the train he would have been your friend. I stole him from you like I will steal Jade away from you." Ron laughed.

"I can't believe you're such an arrogant prick. I need to tell you that I find your lack of manors disgusting. First you shove your way into our compartment. Then you try to drag me out of here. Now you show how disloyal you really are. You came up to me in the book store bragging about being Harry Potter's friend and now you talking, like he is a needy person that will follow your every suggestion" Jade said. Then she walked over to Draco and kissed him.

"Just incase you can't figure it out. I will tell you straight out. I don't need or want your help to find friends. My boyfriend will be more than happy to help me." Jade informed him.

Ron left in a huff. The three teenagers spent the rest of the trip talking. When the train arrived at Hogwarts, they quickly climbed into the first carriage. Once they were at the front doors, Jade's father informed them that Jade would be sorted after the first year's. After telling them she would see them later she joined Professor McGonagall.

The sorting of the first years didn't take very long before it was Jade's turn.

The Headmaster stood up and got everybody's attention. As most of you have probably noticed, Harry Potter is not here. Harry has been taken to an undisclosed location for specialized training for the fight against Voldemort. On a Happier note we have a new sixth year student. She has been home schooled until now. Her father thought that it would be safer for her to be with him at Hogwarts now that Voldemort is back. He nodded to Professor McGonagall.

"Jade Snape" McGonagall called.

Jade could hear everyone whispering. She knew they were finding it hard to believe that Professor Snape had a daughter. She just walked to McGonagall with her head high.

"Well look, what we have here. Harry Potter getting resorted under a new name and gender. This time I will not be having any begging or arguing. I am going to place you where I think suits you. Do you understand me?" The sorting hat told her.

"Yes. I am willing to go wherever you think is best. I have come to the conclusion that I really don't belong in Gryffindor. I should have listened to you the first time. Please place me where you believe I should be." Jade told the hat.

"This is a very nice change. Well like I told you before in your first and second year. You could be great and Slytherin will help you on your way. Anything you want to say? Well then it better be Slytherin!" The hat said.

Jade looked at her father to see his reaction. She almost laughed when she saw he was smirking at the headmaster. Then she looked at Draco who was also smirking. She headed over to her new house that was cheering and clapping. She couldn't help but think about how much fun this year was going to be.
