"What did you do that for?" Harry shouted.
"I wanted to."
"Change it back."
"I won't"
"Why not?"
"Do you know what its like to have everyone hate you for what your family has done? I am not like my brother or my father yet people hate me anyway. I have had enough of being a Malfoy."
"Jade not everyone hates you. Change it back."
"I refuse. I am Jade Black now and I am not taking it back."
"Fine." Harry said before going to the boy's dormitory. Jade stared after him and sat back down. The whole common room was silent during her fight with Harry but now that he was gone they started talking again. She sat beside Hermione and watched as Ron rushed to do all his homework. Neither Ron nor Hermione knew what to say to her. Finally, Hermione decided to ask Jade why she really had changed her name.
"Jade what's really going on with you?"
"Nothing. I just didn't want to be a Malfoy anymore. You wouldn't understand."
"Did you ever think that I would understand?" Ron asked her.
"It's different Ron. I was born a Malfoy. You are a Weasley. Your family isn't one of Voldemort's followers."
"I still know what your going through and the difference between us is that your running from who you are and I'm not."
"I'm not running. Just leave me alone." Jade said before getting up and going to her dormitory. The dormitory door slammed behind her and she sat on her bed.
It was late at night before Harry went back down to the dormitory. He just didn't understand why Jade would change her last name now and he didn't know why it made him so mad. He was sitting staring at the fire when saw someone sitting down beside him.
"Hey Harry." Jade said quietly.
"Hi."
Jade sat beside him and fidgeted nervously while waiting for him to talk. She didn't want to say anything that would get him yelling again.
"Listen Jade I'm sorry about earlier. Just tell me why you did it."
"Harry I told you I did it for me."
"Can you promise me you did it only for you and not me."
"No. It was mostly for me and maybe a little bit for you."
"Why would you do something like that?"
"I don't want to argue. Can't you just accept why I did it?"
"I guess."
"Good. So where does this leave us?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are we still just friends or are we girlfriend/boyfriend. What are we?"
"That's easy Jade. You're my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend. Anything else you need to know?"
"That's all I need to know."
Jade smiled at him and leaned closer to him. He started to kiss her and pushed his tongue into her mouth. There tongues danced in her mouth and Harry ran his hands over her body. She was okay with this and let him continue until he started to go farther. Putting her hands against his chest she pushed him off of her. "Sorry Harry not here."
"That's okay. We should get some sleep anyway. We can wait until your ready." He said hugging her close to his body. The walked to the staircases that led to the dormitories, she gave him one last kiss and they both went into their dormitories.
The next morning she crawled out of bed and changed into her school robes. She met her friends down at the great hall at the gryffindor table. They were eating and talking when Professor McGonagall came up to them.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Black, come with me please." She said. Harry and Jade got up and followed her to Dumbledore's office. Saying the password she sent them up the spiral staircase and they knocked on his door. "Enter." He said. They walked in and sat down waiting for him to speak. "I have a surprise for both of you." He said mysteriously.
"What is it." They asked together.
"Turn around." He told them. Jade and Harry stood up and turned around. What they saw made Jade faint. She fell to the floor and left Harry standing there in shock.
"No way. You're dead." Harry said in disbelief. He turned to Jade and shook her awake. Carefully she got up and stood before Harry. She turned to Dumbledore. "This is a joke. He died."
"I assure both of you he is alive. Why don't all of you sit down and talk." Dumbledore said.
"Sirius your truly alive?" Jade asked warily.
"I am." Sirius said.
"Prove it. What shape does my patronous take?" Harry asked.
"A stag. Satisfied with my answer?" Sirius said.
Harry nodded and Jade stared. She just couldn't believe that he was alive. "I don't get it. We saw you fall through that veil. How did you get out?" Jade said.
"I refused to die. I fought my way out. I got a second chance and I'm not going to lose it." Said Sirius.
Jade ran over to Sirius and gave him a hug. "I've missed you. You don't know how hard it has been." She said.
Harry, Sirius, and Jade talked in Dumbledore's office for over an hour. They finally went to class after Sirius promised he would talk to them later. On their way to class Jade looked over to Harry. "I'm just so happy he's alive." He returned her smile and said, "Me too." They turned left and walked into the charms classroom.
