An Unnatural attraction

Chapter 4: Non-accidental accident

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own any of the said characters from Harry Potter. J.K Rowling owns all of them. Jade is mine. All mine!

Jade lay awake in her bed. Sleep just didn't come as often as it should by normal standards. The curtains of her four poster bed moved slightly as wind swept inside through her open window. The weather outside was claming to her restless soul. "Did this night actually happen?" she kept asking herself. After what seemed to be hours on end, silently sleep took her as its hostage.

Remus lay in his new bed. He wasn't used to not being in then same dorm with his longtime best friends James, Sirius and Peter. But he some how felt quite at home. Knowledge that the one person he had silently longed for sleeping in the room next to him was calming.

The night gave surrender to day. Jade woke up and completed her daily routine of showering and then heading down to breakfast. When she walked into the great hall things seemed to stir a bit. But, she took it as the fact that she, being a usual bookworm and teachers pet was trying out for the Quidditch team. As she sat down a swarm of girls surrounded her. "Were you really caught snogging with Remus last night?" one of them asked her. She whirled around, eyes widened. "What did you just ask me?" she asked shocked. A few tables over she could see a certain blond boy sneering, and surrounding him was the usual gang of Slytherins that followed Lucious Malfoy. Less than a second later she pushed the girls out of her way and headed for Malfoy.

Lucious stood up as he noticed the displeased expression on her face. "Is there something wrong my dear Jade?" he questioned with his usual slimy tone. "Don't play your stupid games with me Malfoy. What are you trying to get at?" Jade demanded. "What are you talking about I could never do anything to you my sweet" He replied as he stepped closer to her. "I told you no games… I knew we weren't alone on the grounds, you went and told McGonagal didn't you?" she questioned.

"I will not admit to anything," Lucious said. "If you will not admit to anything therefore you have something to hide." She said smartly. "Blood traitors should not mock those who are faithful" He responded becoming angry. "The only traitors that I see are you and your little groupies, and I suggest that you stop the stalking and mind your own business, all of you." With this she turned and began to walk away. "I wouldn't be worried about this little dispute. And if I were you I wouldn't get on my broom either" Jade spun around. "I beg your pardon, was that a threat?" she questioned he said nothing while the others surrounding became quiet. "I thought not and I'm sure if it was, Mr. Filch would enjoy your company this evening in detention." With that final statement she walked away and sat down at her table.

Remus walked into the Great Hall. Spotting Jade he went and sat down. "Well you were gone all night what were you up to? No good I would expect." James asked Remus as he sat down. "Actually I'm the new Head boy. Seems Malfoy's been up to no good as usual. I was in my new room last night" Remus replied helping himself to a piece of toast. "Umm new room? Care to explain?" Sirius questioned. "He's the new head boy" Jade replied before Remus had the chance to. "Really when did all this happen?" Peter asked as he looked as if he were just stabbed directly in his heart. "Professor McGonagal told me last night. Seems Malfoy's been up to no good again, but then again it doesn't surprise me much." Replied Remus as he looked at his watch. "Well off to the library then see you all later" He finished as he stood and picked up his books.

He smiled at Jade. And before he left, he reached for a final piece of toast and as he did so slipped a note into the girl's robes. See you at the match then?" Jade asked. "I wouldn't miss it." He replied as he walked out of the Great hall. Jade finished off her juice and stood up. "Well I'll see you all at the match then" she said as she walked out. She opened the note.

Jade

I hope that last night isn't going to make things awkward between us. And I really want you to know that I don't regret a thing and I care bout you a lot. Good luck at your match and don't worry I'll be there.

With all of my love

Remus

Jade changed direction and headed for the library instead of her common room. She found Remus in his usual spot in the back of the library. She pulled on his sleeve motioning for him to follow her. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for your match?" he asked as he followed her. "Yes" she replied. "And you are here why?" Remus asked. "Good luck" she said bluntly. "I thought you didn't believe in that kind of thin." He said. "I didn't until last night," she said. Jade pulled Remus into the darkest and oldest part of the library. "How is this supposed to help with good luck?" he asked. "I don't know I needed an excuse," she said as she kissed him. Remus pulled her against him and leaned her against a bookshelf. Jade wrapped her arms around his neck and continued kissing him. He ran his hand along her back.

In the back ground the clock bells chimed. "Oh no…" Jade said to her self. "What?" he asked. "I'm late, and James is going to kill me" She said as she looked at the clock, "I've got to go I'll see you after the match okay?" Jade said with a smile she kissed him on the cheek and headed for the door. "I'll see you there" he replied as he went to pack all of his books back into his backpack and headed for the stands.

Jade ran full speed for the locker rooms. When she burst in James and Sirius were standing at the door. "Where have you been? I hope you have an excuse because you're not even dressed yet and the match is about to start" James questioned. Jade took in a deep breath. "Excuse? No, ready? Yes. Give me 2 seconds." She said breathlessly as she ran into the girl's locker room. Seconds later she walked out completely changed. "Um if you don't mind me asking Jade, uh, how are you supposed to play with no broom?" Sirius questioned. She pulled out her wand when they got to the landing. She pointed it in the direction of the castle. "Accio broom" she whispered. Seconds later her broom flew through the air and landed I her hand. "I told you I'd be ready.

The game started fast. It drug on for what seemed to be nearly 2 hours before Jade's broom suddenly jerked to the side. She looked around her, alarmed. Then her broom jerked again. Remembering what Malfoy had said that morning she tried to fly closer to the ground but her broom had other ideas. The broom flew straight up. Within seconds Jade was upside down. And with another jerk of the broom she was free falling through the air. Sirius heard his sisters' screams and sped to catch her but he missed her hand by inches. James took his try but missed also from dodging a bludger, which in turn collided with Jades side. Soon another bludger slammed into her arm.

Remus watched in horror from the stands. Lucious and his crew burst into fits of laughter as the girl fell. Only to get louder when she hit the ground with a thud. Remus ran through the stands and out onto the pitch. By the time he reached Jade she was unconscious, and bleeding from the impact. Sirius had landed and was sitting on the ground with Jades head in his lap. Blood dripped over his hands from her head. Dumbledor rushed onto the pitch followed by Madame Pomfrey.

With out notice the cheering from the Slytherine stands stopped abruptly when James, inspite of the drama, caught the snitch. Winning the match for Gryffindor.

Hours had passed since Jade was carried into the hospital wing. Teammates and friends all still gathered at the door waiting for someone to give them at least the smallest bit of information. Sirius and Remus were leaning against the wall when the door opened and Madame Pomfrey came out. "Is she okay?" James asked before the two could mutter a word. "She'll live, she's gonna be feeling the aftermath of this one for quite a while, But she should be back to classes day after tomorrow, and I'm sorry Mr. Potter but you may want to find a new chaser, she won't be able to play any more this year." Madame Pomfrey said. "Can we see her?" Both Sirius and Remus questioned in unison. "She's asleep now but I don't see any harm in just you four going in, I'm afraid the rest of you will have to wait until another time." She said.

Madame Pomfrey showed them to a private room where Jade was put due to her extensive injuries. Lily gasped at the sight of the bloody bandages and had to walk out. Sirius sat down in a chair next to the bed; he couldn't believe the sight in front of him. James left to go and check on Lily and closed the door behind him. Remus who was leaning against the wall sighed. "Some good luck I am" he mumbled to himself. "Huh?" Sirius questioned without looking away from his battered sister. "Oh nothing" Remus replied.

"Moony, this was no accident," Sirius said after a while. "What do you mean it was no accident?" Remus asked as he sat down in the chair next to Sirius. "This morning she had an argument with that slimeball Malfoy. I know he had something to do with this and I'm not letting him get away with it." Sirius ranted as he stood and headed for the door. "I'm coming with you" Remus said standing up. "No, you stay here in case she wakes up. She'd like to wake up and see you there" Sirius finished before he left.
