Post 74:
Two days after Jade sent the letters about Sirius, she woke up to find three men standing in her room, looking over at her.
"ARGGGHHHHH!!!!" She yelled and leaped to her feet, snatching her wand from underneath her pillow. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?"
One of them stepped forward; Jade recognized the Ministry crest on his robes and relaxed slightly. He looked younger than the other two, his hair was blonde and it flipped out at his neck, it was cute.
"Miss Loreen,"
"Lorien." She corrected him.
"We are here because we have reason to believe that Black may try to come in contact with you. Your letter was not received well yesterday also. How did you gain access to Black's files? Those are top- security. Only persons of the auror or unspeakable level may access them."
"I am an auror. Here-" she pulled out her badge from the desk drawer and handed it to the man to observe. He handed it back.
"I'm Jefferson, new. Office work mostly." He shook her hand.
"They always give office work to the new comers, you'll get to do some field work next year." The other men seemed to un-stiffen. Jade threw on a dressing robe and asked them if they wanted some tea. Jefferson accepted but the other two, since she wasn't going to put up any sort of fight, had to get back to the office.
"So, why do you think Si- Mr. Black would want to reach me?" Jade said as she poured two cups of green-tea.
Jefferson raised an eyebrow.
"Apparently you were seeing him for quite some time. You were going to get married, were you not?"
"What? No... no we weren't going to be married. And the relationship ended sometime before the Potter incident." Jade bit her lip. The Potter incident? What was she thinking? These were her friends! How could she speak so detachedly of them... Jade sat down by Jefferson and handed him his mug.
"If you don't want to-"
"No no, I should help you do your job."
"Lorien, Black's a madman. I know you want to believe he's innocent, but the facts are against them. Petigrew was not the smartest person alive, brave, but not smart. Very few people can master Animagi and his old Hogwarts records show he was- not good- in Transfiguration.
"What's more, Black has been spotted in this area. If he tries to contact you you could be in danger. Statements show that Azkaban had no real affect on him. He was doing crossword puzzles in his cell a week before he broke out!"
Jade smiled at this, he had always loved crosswords.
Jefferson took a gulp of his tea and made a face.
"What? Don't you like it?"
"I'm sorry, but this is not tea!"
"Yes, it's green- tea, it's just has an acquired taste."
"No no... I like green-tea... did you boil the water?"
"Listen buster, I know how to make tea. It's like making coffee, just with tea."
They started laughing and Jade suddenly felt very conscience of the fact her hair wasn't really brushed.
"Listen, the Ministry wants you to sign some papers stating that you have not been in contact with Black since he went to Azkaban. Why don't you come by my office around noon to sign them?"
"Sounds good."
"Alright, I should go."
"My tea's that horrible, eh?"
Jefferson paused for a minute.
"Yeah, yeah it is."
She smacked him playfully on the arm, pretending to be offended.
Jade walked him to the door.
"Now, if you don't come I'll have to go looking for you. So don't run off anywhere!" He smiled as she opened the door. He had a nice smile... kind of like Sirius'.
