The first two months of the school year passed quicker than ever at Hogwarts. Nothing out of the ordinary had occurred, not even a single thread of someones sanity was pushed to its limits, everything seemed to be almost perfect. Jared and Hermione had begun to talk to each other becoming friends almost instantly before they spoke a single word. Eve and Draco have been at each other's neck more than usual, fights between them broke out almost three times a day. Abby had found a love interest of her own too, she has had her eye on Ron ever since they both walked onto the grounds of Hogwarts. Everyone informed Jared about Harry and how he wasn't going to return to school this year. Jared was shocked by Harry's decision but understood that Harry knows what he must do to ensure Voldemort's demise.

Jared arises from his slumber as the sunlight hit his skin energizing him for the day ahead. He hops out of bed stumbling on the floor and flying out the sleep quarters down the stairs into the common room. "Shit" Jared screams as he bashes his skull into the table. Hermione jumps from the book she is reading and run over to Jared to check if he is ok. "Jared please talk to me...Are you ok" she says as a tear rolls off her eyelash light breaking on Jared's nose. His eye slowly open as he sees Hermione hovering over him in tears. Jared smiles and hugs her rubbing her back as her tears slowly dry away. Hermione looks at Jared smiling , so happy that he is ok. Jared runs his hand over his head checking for blood but none is found, just one painfully bump. Eve stumbles down the stairs yawning crazily. "What was with the noise" she says rubbing her eyes as she sees Hermione and Jared holding each other "And what the bloody hell did I miss" she says sitting down on the chair.

Jared pulls away from Hermione and begins to explain "Okay well I fell down the stair and hit my head" he is cut off by Hermione "And well he got knocked out and I went to check on him, he woke up and hugged me because I thought he died" she says thinking that she sounds really stupid. Eve laughs "Well Jared you're a smart one aren't you" she says almost falling out of the chair. Jared smirks and flips her off as Hermione looks at Jared with widened eyes and slaps him in the back of the head. Jared looks at Hermione "Sorry btu come on she deserve that" Jared say trying to defend himself. Hermione crosses her arms around her chest and shakes her head going back to her book. Jared gets up off the ground, still in his jeans and t-shirt he fell asleep in and lays down on the couch. "I hate waking up early" Jared says looking up at the ceiling. Abby moan angrily as she walks down the stairs slowly. "Jared you know what I hate, being woken up by all you bloody gits in the morning" she says throwing the pillow that was clenches in her hand.

Jared laughs as Hermione and Eve say their good morning and hellos to each other. Jared stays laying on the couch as Abby sits on the other end pushing away Jared's legs from tat area. "So where the hell is Ron" Jared says looking around to see if he is behind him. Abby suddenly get a spike of energy and begins to check if she is looking good in a nearby mirror. Eve smiles and gets up "I have no clue...lazy git is probably still asleep" she says sitting back down in her chair with a glass of water. Ron comes stumbling down the stairs as his semi-long orange hair waves with every step he makes. Abby begins to get perky as Ron enters the room "Good morning Ron" she says smiling a dn running up to hug him. "Morning Abs" Ron says smiling back and rubbing his eye grabbing a glass of pumpkin juice. Jared hops off the couch and runs back to Hermione purposely reading over her shoulder.

Hermione feels Jared's head lay upon her should as she lightly swats him in the face. Jared quietly laughs as she closes her book and turn her head giving him a death glare. Jared smiles as she continues to glare but breaks into laughter as Jared licks her nose. Eve laughs as Hermione smirks and kicks Jared in the groin. Ron spits up the pumpkin juice in his mouth and break down in laughter as Jared falls to the ground getting into the fetal position. Abby looks tat him with slight concern "Okay well I think we should just let hm soak in his pleasure right now" she says kicking him in the ass. Jared slowly gets up off the ground checking all around him to see if he is safe. "Well thank you Hermz" Jared says in a very high squeaky voice as he lays back down on the couch. Hermione smiles and hugs Jared laying on top of him. Jared winces in pain as she notices something is wrong and slides off of him.

Jared smiles and slowly arises from the couch trying not to bring himself anymore pain. Eve , Abby and Hermione leave the common room to shower before starting their day as Jared and Ron continue to sit around. "Hey I'm outta here, I need a shower before I fowl up the common room" Jared says patting Ron hard on the back as he escapes to the shower. Ron sighs looking around in the common room as Abby quickly enters the room. "Hi again Ron" Abby says smiling to him. Ron smiles back and slowly gets up as she drops her books. He quickly runs over and helps her pick them up "Hey you gotta be more careful" he says staring into her eyes. Abby smiles as she become really nervous and thanks him before turning away and running off to class early. Ron stands there for a moment and thinks as he walks to the shower, Did I do something wrong.

Jared walks out of the sleeping quarters fully dressed in his black robe. He heads down the stairs and back into the common room with his books for his first class Potions with Professor Snape. Hermione looks up at Jared as he walks through the common room and arises running after him. "So you ready for the quiz today" Hermione says smiling at Jared. Jared looks at her puzzled "What quiz" he says sounding nervous. Hermione laughs slightly "I was joking sorry to scare you" she says rubbing her hand against his as they walk together through the Great Hall towards the Dungeons. Jared sighs losing himself in her eyes. Hermione smiles "What are you looking at" she says raising an eyebrow to him. Jared come back to reality "Ohh nothing sorry I zoned out" he says trying to cover up that he likes her. Hermione smiles laughing slightly as they enter the potions room together.

"Thank you for joining us" Professor Snape says staring as Jared and Hermione enter the class obviously late. Hermione looks down at the grounds and quickly runs to her seat, as Jared follows behind her to his seat. "Well let us continue then" Professor Snape says continuing his lesson. Jared loses interest in the lesson as Hermione turns around and smiles to him then quickly shoots back at the board as Snape begins to write. Jared tries to keep interest but over hears Draco in the background talking to his lackeys Eve and Abby. Jared looks back at Draco as they both get glare into each others eye evilly. They continue to stare at each other never looking away or blinking completely locking into the chains that bind their eyes together.

Snape's class ends as Jared and Draco continue to remain locked into each others eyes. Hermione walks over to Jared and whispers into his ear "He's not worth it" she says running her hand down his back. Jared squirms as her hand runs down his back and he breaks out of the chains baring Draco and him into each others eyes. Jared follows Hermione out as she looks at him like he is a child. Jared stares back and waves good-bye as he accidently knocks down a reddish brown haired girl. Jared looks down at her helping her up and handing her the books she dropped. "I'm so sorry uhhh whats your name" Jared says feeling embarrassed. She smiles and arises "Well my names Nelissa" Nelissa says smiling at Jared. "Well its nice meeting you " Jared says shaking hands with her.

Jared walks out of the dungeon as Draco cuts him off cornering him into the wall. "What do you want Malfoy" Jared says staring Draco hard in the eye. Draco snickers as he draws his wand lightly touching it to Jared's neck. Jared doesn't move an inch as the wand digs deeper into his neck. "Well Jared I see you have a problem with me" he says twisting his wand against Jared's neck. "Well Malfoy I do but right now isn't a good time" Jared says grabbing Draco's wand and throwing it to the ground. Draco stands there as the anger builds inside of him. He grabs his wand and raises it into the air "Waddiwasi" he yells pointing to the brick and having it smash into the back of Jared's head. Jared falls to the ground unconscience as Draco snickers fleeing the scene. Jared lies on the ground as blood oozes from the back of his skull to the floor.
