Classes picked up all too quickly and things were very bleak and cold for the sixth year Gryffindors. They spent most of their time in the library and the common room. Doing homework and studying. Things went on pretty uneventfully for the Gryffindors. Jade and Sirius' relationship started to really develop though; with a stolen kiss here, holding hands under the table there, both were now the happiest they had ever been in their life.
Jade was probably happier. After Christmas she stopped taking her potions for a dreamless sleep and she wasn't having any more nightmares. Her life was almost fully back to normal and she knew it was mainly because of Sirius.
In March quidditch practices had picked up again. Gryffindor had won the cup each year since they had been at school and McGonagal was getting used to her house winning. All they needed was for Ravenclaw to beat Hufflepuff in the upcoming match, and then have Gryffindor beat Slytherin. Then they would win.

The Gryffindors did win the Quidditch game and they did win the House cup. Sirius and James felt compelled to remind Snivellus every time they saw him and Lily was nowhere around. She and James now had a truce and were becoming quiet good friends. Remus and Ophelia were still going out though they were past the completely mushy stage of the relationship, thankfully for Remus who needed a break from all the teasing Sirius and James did. Remus and James now knew about Lily and Ophelia though they somehow managed to leave Peter out of the secret. Jade felt that she should tell Lily and Ophelia about her being a Metemorphmagus, which they thought was really neat. She didn't really want James, Remus and Peter to know though. It was more Peter but when she was going to tell them Peter came back from the bathroom. All of her opportunities were cut short. Jade felt slightly sorry for Peter, the girl he had gone to the ball with told him 'I just want to be friends' in February. But she herself could never be happier, she never thought she could fall in love after she was raped, and she never thought she would fall in love so young.

Before Jade knew it, it was Easter holidays and students above third year who were staying over the break were aloud to go to Hogsmede. Jade was staying, as was Sirius, and Remus. Everyone else was going hoe to visit their families. Well, Jade had no one to go home to, Sirius hated his family, and Remus lived with his father who would be away then on an important business meeting. The three of them would, of course, go into Hogsmede.
The weather was beautiful and summer was well on its way. The sun was shining and it was that perfect temperature where you could wear shorts or pants, and still be comfortable. The three of them went to Honey dukes first, naturally, and then to Zonko's. At the end of the day all of them sat in front of the ice cream shop drinking sodas and chatting happily. Jade had decided to take the oppertunity to tell Remus she was a Metamorphmagus. They also laughed about when James flipped Snivellus upside down and revealed his boxers. Speaking of Snivellus...
he walked right by them, talking to someone who Jade could not see quietly. That voice sounded so familiar... where had she heard it before? They kept walking and Jade recognized that unforgettable blonde-silver hair, that stride.
"Mr. Malfoy, I think it would be to risky-"
"Shut up! Do you want everyone to know what we're talking about?"
Jade's insides froze. She started to shake and she gripped Sirius' arm. He looked at her, confused for a moment. Then he realized what was going on. He jumped up but she grabbed him and pulled him down again.
"Remus! Help!" Remus also held Sirius down.
"Don't, he's really powerful. He could kill you then disapperate in an instant."
Snape and Malfoy turned around and looked at the three Gryffindors, sitting at the patio.
"Why hello, Jade Loreen was it?" Malfoy said calmly. "What a pleasure."
Sirius looked furious. Malfoy smiled at him.
"You know her, Luscious? How?" Snape asked, looking to Malfoy and then to Jade.
"Are you friends with this girl?"
"Hardly."
"Then you will find it very amusing, I will tell you when you have proven yourself to the master." And with that, he put his arm around Snape and steered him away.
"What was that all about?" Remus asked.
"The master?" Repeated Jade, then she gasped. Of course! "You guys... Snivellus is a deatheater."
