YEAR FIVE!
"Well OWLs weren't that hard, were they?" Lily said, fruitlessly fanning herself with her hand.
It was June and the last day of the OWL examinations. So of course, a heat wave struck.
"Yes, well DADA was really easy but, Transfiguration.... I'll pull an Acceptable Level." Jade responded. They were sitting across the lake and even considered swimming in it like some other people, but the lake wasn't too clean. Both girls were feeling very hot and uncomfortable.
"You really need to stop hassling James and Sirius, you know." Jade told Lily a moment later.
Earlier on that day Lily had yelled at the boys for picking on a Slytherin student. Lily looked somewhat shocked at this news.
"Now really, don't give me that look! You know Snape does the exact thing to them, and he wasn't what you'd call appreciative towards you anyhow. They're boys, it's what they do." Jade said.
"Oh you're right. I just feel sorry for him. He doesn't seem to have many friends."
"Yes he does. He just spends the majority of his time studying." Jade looked at Lily and then smiled. "Besides, I know for a fact you think James is cute!"
"Hey! Shush! They're right across the lake!" Lily slapped her friends arm.
A while later they got up and made their way up to the castle, the boys caught up with them. Jade felt very dizzy from the heat. She was talking to Sirius about Quidditch but wasn't really paying attention. He walked in front of her to look at her in the face; he had asked her something and she completely ignored him.
"Jade?" He said looking at her. She wavered on the spot and collapsed. Sirius caught her in his arms.
"Jade!" He yelled. His friends turned to look at what was going on. James quickly made water spout out from his wand onto Jade. Her eyes fluttered open a moment later and she looked up into Sirius deep blue eyes. He looked into hers.... Their bodies were very close....
"Jade! Are you all right? You fainted!" Lily cried. Jade quickly stepped away from Sirius.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Then she realized she was soaked with water. "James?"
"I had to wake you!" He said. They walked to dinner in silence, but Lily seemed to be very impressed with James, she was having a bit of trouble hiding it.
YEAR FIVE! IN THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT!
"This heat is killing me! We need to go swimming!" Remus said. It was about 9:00 p.m. but the heat kept many people from sleeping.
"The lake is gross and the Prefect's bathroom would never fit the four of us." James said.
"You mean the seven of us." Jade said. Lily and Ophelia were standing behind her. "You know you're not going swimming without us."
"If we find a place that will fit all of us." Peter said.
"You know, I think it's time we use the Room of Requirement to it's full advantage." Remus said quietly.
"Wow! This room really out does it's self." Lily said. The room of Requirement had turned into a lagoon with white sand, clear blue water, and a waterfall off to the side. There were little changing stations in the corner of the room for each person.
Jade went behind her own to find a bikini already there for her. It was a marine-blue string bikini that fit her perfectly. When she came out everyone was already changed. Ophelia was wearing a plain black tan-kini while Lily wore a forest-green halter top with a matching string bottom. Peter was wearing plain black swimming shorts, James, Blue outlined with a yellow stripe, and Sirius sported black swimming shorts with a fire pattern going up the sides.
The water temperature was refreshingly perfect. Sirius came up from behind Jade and plunged her under the water. She came up a second later, smiling at him. Her hair, which was normally flipped and spiky, now lay flat on her head. Sirius laughed and started playing with her hair. A few minutes later she had devil horns and he had a Mohawk. They were close to the waterfall.
Sirius swam in the direction of the waterfall with his back to it so he could face Jade. He pulled her with him. They went under the waterfall and came out on the other side, behind the waterfall. Their hair was back to its original wet state. Both parties shook their heads vigorously. On this side, everything reflected blue and the sound of the water drowned out the noise of their friends. Behind here, no one could see them.
"Jade...." Sirius whispered looking up at her.
"Yes?" She asked. They were looking directly at each other. Being a beater for the Quidditch team was DEFINATELY paying off for Sirius' physical attractiveness....
"Could you do me a favor?" He took her hands in his.
"Just ask."
"Let me see you, just for a moment. The real you." Jade knew what he was talking about. She closed her eyes and her hair changed from red to black, and grew very straight and very long. The few freckles she had disappeared. When she opened her eyes they were blue, green, yellow, purple, and brown with a small familiar fleck of shimmering gold.
Sirius looked into those eyes and she looked into his. Their bodies were very close. Sirius leaned towards her, she to him. They were an inch away.
Slowly, their lips brushed against each other to form a sweet gentle kiss that lasted a lifetime. Jade's lips felt moist against Sirius'. They were smooth and fitted with his mouth perfectly. Sirius let go of Jade's hands and put his own around the small of her back. She rapped her arms around his neck while they briefly parted so that they could start kissing all over again. This time open mouthed.
A few minutes later the beach ball that everyone else was playing with hit Jade so that hey broke apart. Quickly, she changed back to the redhead with blue eyes, then took the ball back to her friends with Sirius. They stayed with the friends for the rest of the evening.
