A/N: I know it took for ever, but it was the end of the trimester, what can you expect form me. Now, fun stuff is in order for you and my editor is going to freak out tonight when I send her Ch. 14. I Now enjoy and review. If you do, the next chappy might come tonight.

It was a cloudy Saturday day; two weeks after the Hogsmeade trip. The school was filing out to go to the Quidditch field. The first game of the year was between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. There were cheers and yells coming from all around, as the two teams came onto the field. Madame Hooch blew the whistle and the players kicked off.

"And Gryffindor has the Quaffle," came the voice of a girl from Ravenclaw. "Ginny Weasley passes it to Dean who takes it and… ooh… Hufflepuff intercepts."

After an hour and a half, the scores were tied, a 100 to a 100. Neither Seeker was close to finding the Snitch. An eruption of cheers came from the Gryffindors as another goal was scored.

"And Jacqueline Mireilli scores. Another point for Gryffindor."

"It's Mireille," yells Jacqueline flying past the stand.

"What is that? I think Harry Potter sees the Snitch."

Few second later.

"And he does. The Seekers are head to head as they dive to get it. What in the world? Jacqueline Mireille,"

"Thank you," screams out Jacqueline at hearing her name pronounced correctly.

"is heading toward the two Seekers. Is she trying to pass in-between them?"

There was no room between the two Seekers and everyone was watching anxiously at what Jacqueline was trying to attempt.

"And Brian Refreinson is forced to fly to the side as Jacqueline Mireille passes in-between the Seekers. With that Harry catches the Snitch! Gryffindor wins!"

A thunder of cheers erupts, as the two captains shake hands.

The Gryffindor Common Room was in an uproar. Everyone was gathered around Harry to congratulate him. The other was trying to explain that it wasn't anything at all. When the circle around him ceased, Harry tried to locate Jacqueline. But she was no where to be seen. He asked Hermione to check the Girls' Dormitory, but the answer was negative. A couple third years informed him later that she was seen heading for the library. Harry set off for the "bibliothèque". Jacqueline called it that. Something left over from her years in France. He entered the library and saw Jacqueline sitting in the far corner reading something. He went up to her. Jacqueline looked up and her eyes cooled when they fell on Harry.

"Yes?" she said trying to sound as pleasant as possible.

"Err, why aren't you at the party?"

Jacqueline just stared at through cold eyes. "I'm not used to commotion."

"Well," Harry knew what he had to say, but he couldn't find the words. "um… Thank you."

There he said it.

Jacqueline raised her eyebrows, clearly bemused.

"For what?" she smirked.

"For today during the game. If it hadn't been for you, we might have lost."

Jacqueline's eyes saddened. "It was my job. Don't mention it," she said quetly.

Harry got up and looked at Jacqueline trying to figure her out. But that seemed impossible. He glanced at the title of the book she was reading; Hogwarts A History: In Depth. He frowned, but didn't remark on it.

"See you later," he said.

"Right," she answered him.

"I can't figure her out," said Harry.

"That's the last thing you want to do, mate," said Ron.

"We just have to be cautious around her," said Hermione. "I know she's a good person, but as she said, there is a huge part of her we do not know."

The trio's eyes then followed Jacqueline, who crossed the room and headed for the girls' dormitory. Hermione got up and followed her. When she entered the room, Jacqueline was sitting on the edge of her bed, reading a letter that clearly came in just then (seeing the black owl perched on her shoulder). She sat down by her and didn't say anything and waited until Jacqueline finished reading the letter. Jacqueline folded the letter and looked at Hermione with cold arrogant eyes asking her the question, "And you are sitting here because?" Hermione studied her for a minute then said in a dead calm voice looking at her hands, "Jacqueline, I am not here to apologize for what I said back in Hogsmeade, I meant it. But, I just want you to know that I do not hate you. Only now do I realize that it wasn't right for me to blame you. I…"

"Stop. Right now," said Jacqueline putting up a hand in a gesture to silence. "Do not say it wasn't right of you to blame me, because you had every reason to. I can understand your hostility towards me, because from the beginning of the year, I've barged into your lives with out the slightest interest what you think of that."

"No, Jacqueline, let me explain," Hermione tried.

"Don't you interrupt me," mimicking her own self in a sarcastic manner. This made Hermione laugh.

"There goes your attitude again. Look, I know all of us can be fantastic friends it's just that…"

"That I'm a closed book. I know," said Jacqui with a smile.

"Right. And …"

Hermione was interrupted as a loud explosion came from the Common Room.

A/N: I left ya hanging. I had to 'cause my mom wants me to get off the computer and so yeah. Now all have to REVIEW in order for the next chappy to appear.
