Jade heard the bass and vibrations of music playing. She opened her eyes and saw a line of people waiting as a very large set man stood in front of the entrance. "This is the entrance for wizards. The other entrance is on the other side for muggles." Dean explained.
He dragged her towards the door and flashed a card in front of the bouncer. "What's your code?" the bouncer asked.
"Banana dung." Dean said. The bouncer nodded and allowed him to walk in with Jade. "We're in." Dean said.
Jade looked around the enormous club and looked up to see the suites where people smoked, drank and hired dancers for their private entertainment. Dean and Jade walked down the stairs and met with many strange and different people. The way some girls were dressed, Jade felt like a nun standing next to them. She looked towards Dean to say something but saw him eyeing every girl they passed by and winking at them.
"Hey Dean." A girl Jade's height and size said standing incredibly close to Dean. She traced a finger down his cheek and pouted when he moved back.
"Easy Tracy." He said winking and leaving, promising that he'd be back. Jade fumed in anger for being treated this way. Girls were fawning all over him and he flirted right in front of her. They reached the bar and Dean let go of her hand. "Let's get you loosened up." Dean said.
"I don't drink." Jade told him.
"Babe, if you come to parties, you have to drink." Dean said.
Draco hadn't touched a club since Hogwart's years. He felt too old to be visiting one and felt odd because he was neither interested in these types of girls, nor was he interested in drinking and neither was he interested in dancing.
"Loosen up man. Hey!" Blaise said greeting to what seemed like the club owner.
"Blaise. Is that Draco Malfoy? You actually did it! You bought the chairman of the Quidditch World Cup!" the club owner said shaking Draco's hand.
"It was no easy task you know." Blaise said as the club owner nodded.
"I'm very happy that you've come. Please, by all means enjoy. Every lady in the house is free on me for you two and drinks." The club owner said clapping Blaise on the shoulder.
"Mr. Malfoy." The club owner said shaking his hand once again.
"Any woman here is free tonight." Blaise said rubbing his hands together, looking around the club for a woman.
Draco never liked the idea of women being 'free' especially hated when women sold their bodies for scum called men. "Look around Draco, see which one you like." Blaise said as Draco shook his head.
"I'm not interested." He said placing his back against the wall, watching everyone coolly.
"Mr. Malfoy…not interested?" the club owner asked and Draco shook his head.
"See, he has a woman already. She tutors his-"
"That's not why I'm not interested. These girls aren't my type." Draco said.
"Well we have to find your type Mr. Malfoy! What about that one?" the club owner asked pointing to a girl with only a devil crown and heels. Blaise drooled and Draco clicked his teeth.
"Absolutely not." Draco said.
"He wants a woman that dresses even her eyeballs. Oh look over there. There's a woman there." Blaise said pointing to a woman across the room, sitting at the bar looking incredibly bored.
"No I'm not going." Draco said as Blaise shook his head.
"Draco, I'll do anything for you to just hit on a woman. Anything mate." Blaise said as Draco smirked.
"Good, because if I talk to that woman there, you better talk to a bloke." Draco said.
Blaise dropped his jaw and stared at his best friend. "A bloke? As in a man? Like me? How could you do this to me?" Blaise asked.
"Exactly, how could you possibly ask me to hit on a woman?" Draco asked.
"Well if you really wanted to hit on a man, I had no-all right, all right; I'll hit on a bloke for you! Just go and happy shagging." Blaise said encouraging Draco to leave.
"We're right behind you Mr. Malfoy. If she refuses, I'll kick her out. Remember, there are more women in here happy to take their clothes off for you Mr. Malfoy." The club owner said.
Jade watched Dean meet with Seamus and the two spoke and drank, looking around. She couldn't lie, she wasn't exactly bored. Watching people interested her. The way they interacted and danced with each other, without even knowing who one is, or they maybe did, Jade didn't know. This was a different atmosphere that was unfitting to her.
"Babe I'll be right back. I think I see Maxis." Dean said looking across the room.
"Whatever." Jade mumbled, pulling on the jacket tighter to her.
"Hey." A voice said.
Jade turned around and to her sheer surprise she saw Draco Malfoy take a seat next to her on the bar. Draco almost fell out of his seat when he saw Jade Harper staring back at him.
"What are you doing here?" the two asked unanimously.
"Not quite the Mother Teresa are you?" Draco asked.
"This is my first time in a club, unlike you. I bet you come to these types of parties every night don't you? All men are created equal." Jade said rolling her eyes.
"For your information Harper, I haven't been in a club for 8 years. This isn't exactly my cup of tea." Draco said.
"So why are you here?" Jade asked.
"Why are you here?" Draco asked.
The two were interrupted by Dean, Seamus, Blaise and the club owner Maxis. Blaise took one look at Jade and almost broke his neck by turning so fast.
"Blimey! Jade Harper! What are you doing here?!" Blaise asked.
"You know Jade? That's great! Sweet cheeks they know you! I haven't introduced you though to Maxis. Maxis, this is my fiancée. My wife to be Jade. Jade this is a dear friend of mine, the owner of this club, Maxis." Dean said introducing Jade to everyone.
Draco's face fell as he looked at Dean. Harper was marrying this sorry excuse?
"Malfoy! I haven't seen you in ages!" Dean said looking quite buzzed.
"And I thank the Gods above every day for not seeing you." Draco said quietly. He heard a small snort from Jade and glanced at her to see smiling.
"I heard there was Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry, why-"
"Maxis, you should know us by now. It's me, you, Blaise and Dean that go hunting the hottest spots in the world! My friends are your friends...and your friends are my friends!" Seamus declared.
"I'm sorry, are you cold Jade?" Maxis asked.
As Jade shook her head, Dean turned to Jade and saw that she was wearing the same jacket and hadn't opened it.
"What are you doing with that ridiculous jacket? Take it off." Dean said.
"No! Dean stop it." Jade said yanking herself away. She excused herself and left to go to the bathroom.
"You've got a feisty on there don't you?" Seamus asked grinning as Dean shrugged.
"She's boring. She doesn't party; all she does is work, work and work for these idiot kids." Dean said motioning the bartender for another drink.
"So why are you marrying her?" Draco asked.
Dean turned to Draco and grinned. "A man needs backup…always. When the Mrs. is occupied in home or work, you can always relax yourself to these beautiful women." Dean said winking at a woman passing by.
"Didn't you ever stop to think that she doesn't deserve that?" Blaise asked.
"If not her than who? Besides who'll marry her? I'm not saying this to seem like an arse. I'm just saying. Everyone has to get married one day. Why are we even talking about this? I'm going to go and get that jacket from her. Seamus, wait until you see what I got her to wear." Dean said. Dean left with Seamus and Maxis shook his head.
"I feel sorry for her. Imagine that. Anyways, I'll go see what's going on in my club. Enjoy yourselves." Maxis said leaving.
Blaise stood there with Draco, unable to understand how a person could give a shit about another.
"Bastard. That jerk, if I had a woman like that, I'd worship her. Bloody arses nowadays get these women with quality where quality men like me stand around here looking for cheap and hi sweetie, what's your name?" Blaise asked leaving Draco alone.
Draco didn't understand it either. How were intelligent women falling for men like that? As much as he didn't understand it, he was angry at her for letting him walk all over her that way. Draco felt insulted by the way Thomas insulted her organization for children. He had a child himself and couldn't imagine what he would have done if Dean made a cheap shot about him. She was passionate about the things she did, but it wasn't something to ridicule. Draco watched Jade walk out of the bathroom and Dean walk up to her, demanding that she take off her jacket.
"No! Please Dean, don't do this to me! I don't feel comfortable!" Jade said. Dean only ripped the jacket off of her and tossed it to Seamus, who drank up Jade in the skimpy green dress.
"Isn't it lovely on her?" Dean asked. Seamus nodded feverishly and grabbed Jade's hand.
"Is it all right if I have a dance with her?" Seamus asked.
Jade jerked her hand from him and shot the two death glares. She walked away and Seamus and Dean laughed behind her back. As Jade started to walk out of the club, she felt someone grab her from the sides and arms. She turned around and saw two men leering at her.
"Where are you going?" one of them asked. Jade went to walk away but they blocked her way. "You're tough. How much do you want?" he asked pulling her arm.
"You wear a costume that calls our attention and you leave without giving us any." The other said pushing Jade back.
Tears sprung to her eyes as she heard this. Everything was her fault. Everything. Dean wasn't at fault for anything, it was Jade. She let herself be controlled and the situation that played right now was because of her. She had no self-respect to say no to Dean and now, this was happening.She had a man that could care less about her. He was probably somewhere, already shagging some woman he had just met. Here was Jade, losing every ounce of respect, dignity and pride of herself.
She felt a warm silky cloth cover her from behind and turned to see Draco Malfoy wrapping a cloak around her. "Any problems you ought to discuss with me gentlemen?" Draco asked in a powerful but calm voice. The two men cowered in front of Draco and stepped back, shaking their heads. Draco turned around to Jade and nodded towards the exit. "I'll walk you home." Draco said. Jade nodded and let Draco guide her out of the club.
