HARRY POTTER WHEN SECRETS COME OUT

CHAPTER 24

Jade was busy trying to calm Draco down she didn't notice that the Ravenclaw that had accosted her was walking toward them.

"I took care of the problem. I really don't think he will try anything else." Jade told him.

"He shoved you up against the wall. I really don't think he will just let it go that easily."

I want you to tell me if he bothers you again. I know you can take care of yourself but, some guys will do anything they can to get what they want. I don't want anything to happen to you."

Jade was getting ready to ague about it when the seventh year interrupted them.

"I hope you don't think I'm done with you yet Jade. I will have you no matter who your boy friend is."

Draco stood up and looked at the boy that was talking his girlfriend and said. "For your information Jade is my girlfriend and I suggest that you stay away from her. I would think that a mudblood like you would know better then to mess around with my girl friend. That wouldn't be very good for your health. If you know what I mean."

Root knew he was in some serious trouble. No one but Harry Potter and his friends ever messed around with him. 'If I really want Jade, I will have to find a way to get her when he is not around. Now I will really need to save my own skin.

"I was unaware that she was your girlfriend. If I had known that she was yours I would have left her alone. Please accept my apologies." David said and rushed away.

Draco had a smirk on his face when he turned around. "I like the black eye you gave him. I really don't think you will have any problems with him anymore. The only person that has enough nerve to mess with me was the golden boy and his shadows."He said as he winked at her.

After they received their time tables, they quickly headed to their first class. They stood in front of the dungeons waiting for Professor Snape to unlock the door. Jade noticed that Hermione was watching her.

Draco was busy talking to Basil and didn't notice when Hermione started to talk to Jade.

"How do you like Hogwarts so far? I was hoping I could spend some time getting to know you. My name is Hermione Granger and you are?" Hermione asked.

"Jade Snape" She answered. "I wonder what she wants. I bet she thinks that if she's friends with me, father will leave her alone. She might think that she could get something out of a friendship with me.'

"I love. Potions don't you? None of my friends are taking potions this year. I was hoping that you could be my partner in class." Hermione asked.

"I am sorry but, if we get to pick our partners I will be with my boyfriend."

"Oh I didn't know you had a boyfriend already. I mean how could you have a boy friend when this is the first day of term and you didn't go here before?" Hermione asked.

"I spent most of the summer here at Hogwarts I had the opportunity to meet some of the students and luckily one of them turned out to be a great guy. I think I might have spent as much time with him as I did my father." Jade said.

Pansy was listening to the conversation between the two girls and decided to put her two cents in.

"So Granger I heard about you and Weasel talking about your so-called friendship with the golden boy. I'm surprised that you tried something so stupid. I would think that someone that is suppose to be so smart would have the brains to have that type of conversation where there would be little chance of someone over hearing you. "

Hermione was really embarrassed and was hoping that no one else was listening to them talk. "I don't have any idea what you are talking about."

"She is talking about the conversation you and Weasel were having in the Leaky Caldron about how you planning on betraying Potter. Jade and I were there when you were talking. Never in a million years would I have thought you would sink so low as to talk about your friend in such a way. You were laughing about how he thought you were his friend." Draco joined the conversation. "I really would hope that you have learned a lesson about being a friend but, on the safe side I highly doubt that Jade would want to have anything to do with you."

Everyone in the hall was quite listening to the interesting thing being revealed before them. "Malfoy, I really don't know what you hope to prove by making up such lies but I doubt anyone will believe you."

"Granger, Did you know that Potter was there also. He heard every word that you were saying. So no matter how hard you try to deny it. He will know the truth. I have heard how forgiving Potter is but I highly doubt he will have anything to do with you ever again." Draco said.

Hermione paled and said. "Harry was there and he heard what I was said. No wonder he never wrote me this summer"

When she realized what, she said her eyes got big and she put her hand over her mouth. She looked at everyone around her hoping against hope that they didn't hear what she just said. As she looked at the people around her, she knew that everyone had heard and were not happy about what had just been revealed to them. She shut here eyes knowing that by the end of the day everyone in the castle would have heard and with that many witnesses everyone would believe what they heard. She couldn't stand everyone looking at her in disgust so she grabbed her book bag and ran way as fast as she could.

Neville Longbottem was standing next to Dean Thomas. They turned to Malfoy and asked. "Did Harry really hear them talking about betraying him?"

It was Jade who answered them. "I had the opportunity to overhear them twice and the first time I saw a small teenager with shaggy hair and green eyes standing near by with a shocked look on his face. Draco told me that it was Harry Potter. I believe that he was there and heard the whole thing. They were saying some really mean thing about him. Maybe you could get the headmaster to get a letter to him so you know for sure that he really heard them."

They all nodded to themselves before anything else was said Professor Snape open the door to the potion lab and they all went inside.

The day seemed to fly by Jade had no problem in any of her classes. I seemed as all the training she had over the summer was really starting to pay off. It looked like Ron and Hermione was getting all the attention they had always wanted. For some reason they were not as happy as they thought they would be.
