THIRD YEAR!

"We did it!" Jade yelled at Sirius as she ran up to him from the quidditch pitch. He was standing not too far from the doors to the castle.

"We made beaters!" She cried and jumped on him. He half- hugged, half- supported her.

"Are you joking?" He said looking at her. "This is excellent! James got seeker!"

"And Lily and Remus are doing commentary together! That will be interesting." She got off him and laughed- Lily liked to follow rules to the book but Remus was the type of guy who would boo Slytherin while commenting on a match.

Jade had not changed much since first year. She was still very wild and spontaneous and loved sneaking around. Now she had a few more piercing to add to her collection. On her left ear she had a thin metal bar go through one whole and come out the other, so that the bar went through her cartilage on an angle. Her red hair now had a few natural blonde streaks in them and it was cut short so she could spike it.

Sirius' black hair was always in his bright blue eyes and his smile lit up a room. He walked with a bit of a strut, hands in his pockets most of the time. He had an adorable habit of blowing on his hair from the corner of his mouth when it annoyed him.

Sirius looked into Jade's eyes. They were, like his own, bright blue. But there was something about hers' that intrigued him.... there was a small fleck of gold in them....

"Jade...your eyes, I never noticed, they're..." Sirius said quietly while looking into them. He couldn't really describe what they were.

"beautiful." He finished just as she closed them. When she opened her eyes the fleck was gone. Her eyes were lighter, duller. Sirius blinked and looked again. Her eyes looked different! Only really noticeable up front, but different all the same.

"Whoa.... I just thought..." He shook his head. "let's go to dinner."

THIRD YEAR, DAY BEFORE END OF TERM FEAST!

It was pitch dark in the castle, Jade had gone outside to go flying because she couldn't sleep and now she had to get back to bed without anyone noticing her. She slipped behind a curtain, sure of this shortcut. The moon loetin a considerable amount of light into this passageway....

Siruis couldn't sleep so he was aimlessly wandered the halls of his school, going through a short-cut full of moonlight. Suddenly he bumped into something very solid as he approached a corner.

"Ow!" Said a voice he recognized. It was Jade.

"Jade -oh sorry, I thought you were someone else." He said looking at her.

This girl had elbow-length, pitch black hair and eyes he had never seen before. They were blue, green, yellow, brown, purple, all at once. He couldn't really see the rest of her face.

"Hey! I've never seen you before, who are you?" He asked. The girl's eyes widened and she turned around and ran.

Sirius ran after her, she was quick, and ran very far. He caught up with her and grabbed her arm, swinging her into him and forcing her to face him. She tried to free herself but he was very strong. He held on to her, she was right up against his body.

"Who are you?" He asked her looking in to her eyes....blue, green, yellow, brown, purple, all at once. And a fleck of gold too. His mouth opened slightly.... the same golden fleck....

"Jade?" he whispered.

"Yes?" She said dully.

"How are you-, why do you-, what happened?"

"I'm a metamorphmagus. All the women in my family are. This- this is was I really look like, was I was born looking like. Black hair and technicoloured eyes. I thought my appearance might be a bit shockingly ugly, so I-"

"Ugly? You're- very nice looking." Sirius finished lamely.

"Don't tell anyone please. I haven't yet fully mastered it so I accidentally changed back when I bumped into you." She closed her eyes and her black hair shrunk, becoming redder as it went. When she opened her eyes they were her normal, dazzling blue with a small hint of gold.

Sirius and Jade walked back to the common room together.
