Chapter five

The Invisible Cloak

………

"HEY, IS THAT AN INVISIBLE CLOAK?" Sirius exclaimed.

"Quiet, do you want everyone to hear you?" James asked, glaring at his best friend.

"Sorry," Sirius apologized, as he looked the cloak over, "Who gave it to you?"

"I bought it before I came to Hogwarts," James explained, a smirk on his face.

"I couldn't sneak, and get one, because I have a big mouth, little brother!" Sirius complained, glumly.

"Hey, look on the bright side, we're in the same house, and you're not in Slythern," James said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Sirius agreed.

"Oh, yeah, and there's that beautiful, raven-haired girl, named Jasmine," he added in.

"And her best friend, Lily Evans," James said, nodding his head in agreement.

………….

"Well, I'm glad you think we're beautiful," said a familiar voice, and the boys turned around, and gasped at who they saw.

"How long have you been listening to us?" James questioned.

"Let's see, Lily just got in here when you said she was beautiful, and I was in here, when you two were talking about the Invisible Cloak, Sirius's big-mouthed, little brother, how he's glad he's not in Slythern, how beautiful Sirius thinks I am, and how beautiful you think Lily is," Jasmine said, answering James's question.

"Therefore, you heard our whole conversation," Sirius said, bluntly.

"Not quite, I missed the beginning when you were talking about the Invisible Cloak, but I heard the middle and the end," Jasmine corrected.

"But, you did hear the part where we were talking about you and Lily?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, I heard all of that," Jasmine smiled, mischievously.

"Umm, Lily?" James asked, as he walked over to her.

"Will you go out with me?" he asked, blushing slightly.

"No," Lily said, without hesitation.

"WHAT?" yelled James, as he started to curse!

"You need to wash out your mouth, Potter," Lily said, smiling at the shocked boy, and left to go to the girls' dormitory, where she shared a room with Jasmine, and a girl named, Clarissa.

"She has a point about the mouth washing thing, you know?" Jasmine said, looking at James.

"Who asked you?" James snapped!

"Well, SORRY!" Jasmine yelled, walking out of the common room, and slammed the door behind her.

………….

"Why'd you snap at her like that? She didn't do anything to you," Sirius said, staring at the now closed door.

"I don't know," James said, as he cooled down.

………..

"Can you believe him?" Lily asked.

"What? By asking you out like that?" Jasmine asked.

"Yeah, and the way he yelled at you!" Lily added.

"I guess now," Jasmine said, gloomily.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, her anger now forgotten.

"Nothing," Jasmine said, as she took off her shirt and blue jeans.

"WHY'S YOU SAY NO TO JAMES POTTER?" a girl, with her long blonde hair in a ponytail asked.

"Because, Clarissa…" Lily started.

"He's so cute!" Clarissa exclaimed.

"No, he's not!" Lily argued.

"Yes, he is, and you know it!" Clarissa said, staring intently at the red head.

………..

"I wonder what the girls are screaming about?" Sirius said to James.

"Wanna go see?" James asked a mischievous look on his face.

"Yep!" Sirius replied, a small smile grazing his lips, as the two boys got under the Invisibility Cloak, and made their way towards the girls' dormitory.

………..

"The boys are awfully quiet," Lily noted.

"Who cares?" Clarissa asked pajamas already on.

"What are you sleeping in?" Jasmine asked Lily, who just went into the bathroom.

"A green pajama shirt and matching pants," Lily said, coming out of the bathroom, and swirled around in her pajamas.

"Dangit, Lily got changed in the bathroom!" James complained, in a whispered voice.

"Did you hear something?" asked Jasmine, looking around the room, as she threw her shirt on the floor, along with her jeans.

"No," Lily said, getting into her bed, as Jasmine put on her knee-length, purple nightgown, not knowing that James and Sirius were watching the whole time.

………

"Get up, it's almost time for breakfast," Jasmine said, pulling on her dark purple miniskirt.

"We'll get up in a minute!" Lily grumbled, rolling over onto her side.

"NO! THEN, WE'LL MISS BREAKFAST AND BE LATE FOR CLASS!" Jasmine yelled.

"WHAT?" Lily exclaimed, jumping up, and running into the shower, and quickly got dressed in a light pink shirt, with some blue jeans, and her black robe.

"Aren't you going to put on a shirt?" Clarissa asked, as she got up, and looked over at Jasmine.

"Yes," the raven-haired girl answered, and pulled on a light purple halter-top.

………….

"JAMES, WAKE UP! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR BREAKFAST!" Sirius announced.

"Okay, I'm coming…" James sighed, as he pulled on some blue jeans, and a white t-shirt.

"What classes do we have today?" Lily asked.

"Let's see, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Astronomy, and Potions," Jasmine answered, as she sipped on her pumpkin juice that she found at her seat in the Great Hall, when the mail owls came.

………….

"Lily still looks beautiful," James said.

"I think Jasmine is pretty," Sirius said, laying his head in his hands.

………..

"LOOK! Here come the mail owls," Clarissa pointed.

"Oh, wow!" Jasmine said, sarcastically, as a big, brown hawk, with yellow eyes and feet swooped down, and dropped an envelope in front of her.

"What's that?" Lily asked, as everyone turned to see what Jasmine got.

"A howler," Jasmine stated, and opened it up to expect the worst.

"JASMINE YVETTE MALFOY, I TOLD YOU TO ONLY HANG OUT WITH PURE-BLOODS, AND YET, I JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOUR BEST FRIEND IS A MUDBLOOD!" Jasmine's mother yelled, across the dining hall. "YOU BETTER FIND SOME PURE-BLOODS TO BE FRIENDS WITH, AND DITCH THAT LILY EVANS GIRL!" her father joined in.

"I ALSO HEARD YOU'RE NOT IN SLYTHERN, LIKE ALL OF OUR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, AND THAT YOU'RE IN GRYFFINDOR. THOUGH, I GUESS YOU CAN'T HELP THAT, SO I'M COMING TO THE SCHOOL, TO TALK TO DUMBLEDORE, SO THAT YOU MAY BE PLACED IN SLYTHERN, AND WON'T DISHONOR OUR FAMILY!" her mother continued on.

"SEE YA LATER, SIS!" Taylor sneered.

"HI, JAZZY!" Sydney called, just before the letter burned into flames.

"I told you I was going to get a howler," Jasmine said, calmly, as she continued to drink her pumpkin juice.

………..

"Wow, that girl got a howler on the 2nd day of school," one boy sneered.

"Yeah," whispered another boy.

"Why don't you just SHUT UP?" Jasmine yelled, and with that the two snickering boys, didn't say another word.

………..

"She sure knows how to yell, doesn't she?" James asked.

"Yep," Sirius agreed, admiringly.

………..

"Hey, Jas, I didn't know your last name was Malfoy," Sirius said, walking over to the slightly angered girl.

"Huh? Yeah, strange coincidence, isn't it?" Jasmine asked nervously, trying to sound as though, she wasn't related to Lucius Malfoy, who at the moment was the most popular Slythern.

………….

"Who are you writing a letter to?" Lily asked, watching Jasmine pull out a piece of parchment, and start writing.

"My mum," Jasmine answered, not bothering to look up from her task.

"What are you…" Clarissa started.

"How does this sound?" Jasmine interrupted, "'Dear mum and dad, I'll choose whoever I want to be my friends, and I don't need your approval. I am my own person, and will do as I please!' love, your daughter, who is best friends with a muggle born, Jasmine Yvette Malfoy!"

"I like it," Clarissa said.

"Are you actually going to send that?" Lily asked, looking mortified.

"Of course," Jasmine and Clarissa said at the same time.

"Won't they get mad?" Lily asked.

"They're already mad!" Clarissa objected.

"Clarissa's right," Jasmine agreed, as she sent the letter to her parents, and then left the Great Hall to go back to the Common Room to get her school bag.

………..

"Jasmine's upset about something," Lily said, as she watched her best friend leave.

"Duh, look at her family," Clarissa said, stating the obvious.

"No, I mean, I think it has to do with someone here at the school," Lily explained.

"Whatever, Lily," Clarissa said, rolling her eyes, "I don't see how you can tell? We just met her yesterday."

………..

"Lily, I know, I asked you this yesterday, but will you go out with me?" James asked.

"Uh…I…yes…" Lily sighed, and left the room.

………..

"She said YES, Sirius!" James exclaimed.

"Good for you, mate," Sirius said, a small smile on his face, which quickly turned into a small frown.

"What's wrong?" asked James, suddenly concerned.

"Nothing," Sirius said, as he too went to the Common Room, with James right behind him.

"Are you ready, Lily? Class starts in a few minutes," Jasmine said, as she stood by the door.

"I'm ready," Lily said, picking up her bag, and following Jasmine out the door.

"Jasmine, can I talk to you for a minute?" Sirius asked stopping her at the door.

"SURE!" Jasmine said, a little too happily.

"Hurry it up, Jas, or you'll be late," Lily said, leaving Jasmine with Sirius, as she went to class.

………..

"Well, you see, there's a party tonight, and I wanted to know, if you'd go with me? That is, if you don't have another date," Sirius said.

"I'd love to go with you!" Jasmine smiled.

"Great, it starts at 8pm, so I'll meet you in the Common Room at 7:30pm," Sirius said, as he and Jasmine went there own ways.

"Okay!" Jasmine waved behind her, and ran to catch up with Lily.

………..

"What did Sirius want?" Lily asked, as she and Jasmine sat in there respected seats in Transfiguration class, right before the bell rang.

"He asked me to go with him to a party tonight," Jasmine replied, as though, it was no big deal.

"Let me guess, you said yes, right?" asked Lily.

"How did you know?" Jasmine asked.

"Well, it's obvious you like him," Lily said, knowingly.

"How's that?" Jasmine asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Because you blush every time you see him," Clarissa said, from her seat.

"I do?" Jasmine asked.

"YUP!" Lily exclaimed.

………..

"You can stay in the seats you have chosen, as long as you have a partner!" Professor Mcgonagall said.

"Jasmine, will you come here for a second, please?" Mcgonagall asked.

"Yes, Professor?" Jasmine said, and went up to the front of the class.

"I believe your mother and father, are coming to the school one day this week, so I advise you not to sit with Lily Evans, for the time being, in any of your classes, perhaps you should sit with a pure-blood, perhaps Lucius Malfoy, unless you have any friends that are pure-blood?" Mcgonagall whispered, "And I will tell Lily," she said, before Jasmine could argue.

"Narcissa Black and Clarissa Price, but Narcissa doesn't have you, until later," Jasmine said.

"Okay," Jasmine agreed.

"Lily, will you come here, please?" Mcgonagall asked.

"Yes," Lily said, walking up to the desk.

"Jasmine's parents are supposed to be coming to the school one day this week, so I think it would be best if you two did not sit with each other this week, that's what I told Jasmine, so you need to find another partner," Mcgonagall explained.

"Okay," Lily agreed, as she picked up her school bag, and moved beside Clarissa.

"I can't sit with Jasmine this week, because her parents are supposed to be coming to the school," Lily explained to Clarissa.

"Oh," Clarissa said, watching Jasmine take a seat beside the Slythern, Lucius Malfoy.

"Hey, Lucius," Jasmine greeted.

"Hey, Jas!" Lucius smirked.

………..

"Sorry, we're late! WE went to the wrong class!" two boys said, as they entered the Transfiguration class.

"Potter, Black, please take a seat!" Mcgonagall ordered.

………..

"Now, class, today we will be learning about the Animagus, or for the singular word, Animagi," Professor Mcgonagall said.

"I don't like the way Snape keeps looking at Jasmine," Sirius whispered.

"What do you care?" James asked.

"I'm taking Jasmine to the party tonight," Sirius explained.

"Man, I forgot to ask Lily if she wanted to go," James said, slapping his forehead in frustration.

"Mr. Potter, is there a problem?" Mcgonagall asked.

"No," James said.

"I'm gonna ask her if she wants to go after this class," James whispered.

"That's a good idea," Sirius whispered back.

………..

"Class is dismissed, you now go to Herbology, and girls, don't forget what I told you," Mcgonagall said!
