Relief washed over Jade. She could breathe again. Sirius was innocent and the charges would be dropped. Everything would go back to how it used to be. How could Peter betray Sirius like that? Hell, how could he betray Lily and James like that? Jade shaked at the thought of what she would do to Peter if she ever again saw him. She never liked Peter as much as the rest of the group, nor did she completely trust him, but she was friends with Peter. And he was best friends with James and Sirius!
Jade calmed herself down and enjoyed the possibility of Sirius being free with her. Jade walked to the back of her house, in the back of her closet was a brown leather bound book. The one she had taken from Sirius' house all those years ago, before Lily and James had died. She opened it up.
It wasn't a book at all, but cleverly disguised so. In it, Jade kept a sketch that Sirius had drawn of her on Christmas morning. The morning after they had made love to each other for the first time.
It was beautiful. She stared at it for a moment but was interrupted when there was a knock at the door. Quickly, she put the picture back into the leather casing and tied it up.
Jade opened the front door, somewhat socked, but pleasantly surprised at who she saw.
"Have we met?" Jade asked, a smile creeping onto her face.
"Never. May I come in?" Patrick smiled. He was holding out tiger-lily flowers to her.
"Sure." Jade opened the door wider and he stepped in, giving her the flowers.
She walked to the kitchen and magiced a vase to fill with water, then she put them in the vase and set it by her sink window.
"What's this?" Patrick asked, picking up the leather book.
Jade snatched it out of his hands quickly. "Nothing!" She made the book zoom out of her room and go upstairs.
Patrick raised an eyebrow but Jade pretended as if nothing had happened.
"I was wondering what you were doing for dinner." Patrick asked, moving his light hair out of his eyes.
"Oh! Well... I-"
"Because if you're not doing anything, I know this great muggle restaurant in down-town London. You know, just something casual."
Patrick was at least eight years younger than Jade, probably more, but this didn't seem to bother him at all. Besides, he was knew, and probably didn't have many friends at work yet.
"Alright. Casual, that's cool."
Patrick smiled. It was quite nice, actually.
I'll be back at six to pick you up, if that's alright."
"No, no, six is good."
