Chapter 3

Jaelie hurried up to the dorm to tell Hermione what had happened, but when she got there it wasn't Hermione waiting there, it was Harry.

"Oh hi Harry" said Jaelie "Where's Hermione"

"She'll be back soon" replied Harry "She's just gone to see Ron"

"How's he doing?" asked Jaelie

"He will be out before dinner" replied Harry

"Oh ok then" said Jaelie "I'm going to go and do my Potions essay now" Jaelie sat down at the table in front of the fireplace and began writing. A white owl then appeared at the window.

"Hedwig!" shouted Harry

"Oh what a pretty owl!" said Jaelie, she stood up and walked over to the window to let Hedwig in. Harry noticed Hedwig was holding a letter, he quickly ran over to the window where Jaelie stood and began to untie the letter. The letter said…

Dear 'Arry

Hope yer aven a good year so far, wouldn't min' a viset from yer though, come roun' tonight maybe'

Hagrid

"It's from Hagrid" said Harry excitedly "He wants me to go and see him tonight"

"Who's Hagrid?" asked Jaelie

"He's the Magical Creatures Teacher" replied Harry "Do you want to come and meet him?"

"Oh ok I guess so" said Jaelie.

Hermione entered the room.

"Ron will be out in the next hour" she said "Oh Harry, you have a letter, who's it from?"

"Hagrid" replied Harry "I'm going to see him tonight, Jaelie's coming with me"

"Do you want to come?" Jaelie asked Hermione

Hermione paused for a second "Oh no thanks, too much homework"

"Ok then" said Jaelie "We better start heading for our next class, lunch is almost over"

The rest of the day seemed to drag for Harry, but finally dinner time arose and all the students made their way into the great hall and sat down at their tables. Dumbledore sat down in his seat and food appeared on the plates once more.

"So how was your first day at Hogwarts Jaelie?" asked Hermione

"It was great!" replied Jaelie

"Im glad you had a good day" groaned Ron, Jaelie smiled and looked over at the Hufflepuff table, Cedrick was looking at her, he waved and then turned back to his friends.

"What are you looking at?" asked Hermione

"Oh nothing" replied Jaelie quickly turning back to face her friends

"You better get moving if you want to see Hagrid" suggest Hermione "While the teachers are all here"

"Good idea!" said Harry, jumping out of his seat "Let's go Jaelie"

Harry and Jaelie made there way out of the great hall only to find Draco Malfoy standing around the corner waiting for them.

"Going somewhere Potter?" he snarled

"That's none of your business Malfoy" snapped Harry, Malfoy grinned and looked at Jaelie

"You must be the famous new witch my father told me about" he said

"Im not a witch" replied Jaelie

"Oh that's right" chucked Malfoy "You were sent here so that Dumbledore could figure out what you were, well I doubt he will ever find out, personally I don't know why the ministry even put him up to the job"

"Shut up Malfoy!" snapped Harry

"You shouldn't be hanging around with this loser Jaelie" began Malfoy, he grabbed Jaelie's arm and pulled her closer to him. "You deserve better, you should be hanging around with people like me, talented and powerful"

"Arh… no thanks" replied Jaelie pulling away from Malfoy

"Oh come on" nagged Malfoy once more grabbing Jaelie's arm and pulling her towards him.

"Let her go Malfoy!" shouted Harry

"Touched a nerve there did I Potter" teased Malfoy

"Get your hands off her Draco!" yelled another voice, it was Cedrick, he walked over to Malfoy and pulled his hand of Jaelie's arm and gave him a little push. Malfoy just walked off.

"Are you ok?" asked Cedrick

"Im fine thanks" replied Jaelie smiling

"Ok let's go" said Harry quickly

"What's the rush Potter" said Cedrick still looking at Jaelie

"Just got a lot of homework" said Harry

"In that case , I'll let you go" said Cedrick "We still meeting for lunch tomorrow Jaelie?"

"Sure" said Jaelie

"Great" said Cedrick, he kissed her on the cheek and then walked back into the great hall.

Harry felt a surge of anger flush threw him, it soon died down though. He quickly stuck his head into the great hall only to notice that the teachers were no longer sitting at their table.

"The teachers have finished eating" said Harry

"Is that bad…" asked Jaelie

"Yes" replied Harry "It means we will have to wait until bed time before we can leave"

"Ok, ill do some homework then" said Jaelie

"I'll come with you" replied Harry

Three hours later, students were going to bed, the teachers were surely in their office so Harry decided it was time to go and see Hagrid. He rapt his cloak around Jaelie and himself and then they headed for Hagrid's house. They turned a corner and nearly walked straight into McGonagall and Dumbledore. Dumbledore was holding a thick book with a padlock on it.

"Surely not" McGonagall was saying

"It is true" began Dumbledore "Voldemort is returning"

Jaelie almost gasped but Harry quickly put his hand over her mouth

"You would have felt his presence Albus" said McGonagall, "It can't be true"

"I can only feel his presence when he is corporeal" said Dumbledore "And I am sure he is not"

"We must tell Potter" said McGonagall "He is in the most danger"

"Yes, but there is another student who maybe in more danger than Potter" said Dumbledore

"Who?" asked McGonagall Puzzled

"Miss Jaelie Housen" said Dumbledore
