Chapter 3

Jade was in the common room trying to work on homework. Finally slamming her book shut she got up and walked through the portrait hole. She was walking through the corridor heading for the first floor so she could go outside. Pushing open the castle doors she stepped outside into the snow. She walked around just to get some fresh air and clear her head but it didn't work. Frustrated she kicked some snow and started for the castle again.

"You should really watch where you're kicking that snow." Harry said. Jade turned around and looked at him.

"Sorry. I didn't see you." she said.

"Then I guess I forgive you. What are you doing out here anyway?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious and its snowing outside and everyone else is in the castle."

"I needed to clear my head."

"Something I can help with?"

"No."

Jade turned and started walking to the castle again. A snowball hit her in the head and she turned around to see Harry laughing. She scooped up some snow and threw it back at Harry. Snow hit him in the face and he bent over to get more snow when a second snowball hit him on the head. They threw snowballs back and forth but when the last time Harry turned around Jade had disappeared. He stared at the spot she had been and was surprised to find himself laying in the snow face first. While he had been distracted Jade had knocked him over. Jade started laughing and Harry sat up. He grabbed her leg and pulled her to the ground. She hit the ground with a small thud but she kept laughing. Once Jade stopped laughing she stood up and held out her hand to help Harry up. Harry stood up and they walked back to the castle together. They went back up to the gryffindor common room and sat down next to Ron and Hermione. They sat doing homework for hours without much conversation and around ten Jade got up. She said goodnight to all of them and she went up to the dormitory. She waited for awhile then grabbed her stuff and went to the prefects bathroom to take a bath. She said the password and opened the door. Coming in she shut it and took off her robes. She looked up and saw Harry standing in front of the tub running water. She was in her bra and underwear so she wasn't getting dressed and leaving. Sneaking up behind Harry she gave him a shove. His quick quidditch reflexes took effect and he grabbed her wrist. They fell into the water and Harry looked at her.

"Jade what the hell are you doing?"

"Nothing. I was going to take a bath but you were here. Did you ever think to lock the door?"

"I forgot. Well, what are you going to do now?"

"If you don't mind I am going to take a bath."

"With me still here?"

"Yes. You can't see me anyway."

"So you got to see me but I don't get to see you? I don't think that's fair."

"Get over it." she said as she washed her hair.

Harry watched as Jade bathed. He couldn't believe she was actually here bathing in front of him. There was an awkward silence because Harry wasn't sure what to say and Jade didn't help him out by talking. He watched as Jade swam to the edge to climb out. Reaching up she grabbed the ledge and pulled herself out of the water. She walked to where she had left her towels and clothes. She picked them up and walked around the corner so Harry couldn't see her. Harry watched as she went around the corner and then pulled himself out of the water. He walked silently and peeked around the corner. He watched as Jade pulled off her wet bra and underwear. She dried herself off and put on dry clothes. Getting the feeling someone was watching her she looked up and saw Harry staring at her. Harry knew she had seen him so he came around the corner to stand right in front of her.

"Why were you looking at me?" Jade asked.

"I told you it wasn't fair that you got to see me but I didn't get to see you. You saw me and I just saw you so were even."

"Okay. Just don't do it again and next time lock the door."

Harry looked at her and nodded. Remembering he had to dress he hurried off and pulled on his clothes. Jade watched as he went and dried her hair with a towel. Why didn't I tell him how much I love him? Today would have been a great time to tell him. We were alone most of the day and Draco was nowhere to be found. I am such an idiot. Sighing Jade picked up her stuff and waited for Harry to finish dressing.

Harry finished dressing and told Jade he was done dressing. She walked out of the corner and met him at the door. She was reaching for the doorknob when he reached out and stopped her. He moved closer to her and lowered his lips to hers. To Jade it seemed like forever but it was only just a few minutes. Harry pulled away and looked at her. "Jade, I have something to ask you."
