In the morning, Jade woke up and found Hermione getting ready. "Are you going to Hogsmeade as well?" Jade asked seeing Hermione nod.
"Ron." She explained. Jade nodded and saw Ginny scribbling something down on a parchment, still in her pajamas.
"Have fun you two." Ginny said feebly.
"Thanks, you should come Ginny. It'll be fun." Hermione said. Ginny turned to Hermione, frowning slightly.
"I asked Draco the day before and he told me to get back to him later. I tried asking him last night but he walked away from me! I'm trying to send him owls but he wouldn't respond." Ginny said. Jade didn't feel bad for the girl. "I don't even know what I did wrong! Jade! Would you please speak to him for me?" Ginny asked.
Jade tried her best not to look hostile or annoyed at the poor girl. "I honestly don't know him anymore, so you can't ask me to speak to him for you. By the way, it'snot my relationship that I should go about and speak to him as if it were my problem. It's your boyfriend, your bloody problem." Jade said cruelly. Jade turned around and grabbed some clothes from her trunk.
She walked away to the bathroom and when she walked out, she saw Ginny, lumped under the covers, obviously crying very quietly. Hermione looked torn. She didn't want to see one of her friends this way, but Jade was right, Ginny should deal with the problem herself.
"Just talk to him, Gods, Ginny. I don't understand why people can't gather up the balls to talk to someone they give a fuck about! If you don't want to lose him, get your prissy arse up and talk to him as a human being." Jade said. Ginny remained unmoved. Jade grabbed the covers and snatched them off, seeing Ginny look irritated as she did.
"What's your problem?" Ginny asked hotly.
"The fact that you sit on your bed, crying like a little baby while my best friend needs you! He's already cast me off from his life to bring you in and if you leave him, he won't have anyone to turn to. He might not give 2 shits about me but I fucking do. If you don't get your arse up in the next 2 seconds and march into his Head Boy to make him happy again, I swear Ginny Molly Weasley; I'll rip your hair out and hang you by your tongue, so help me God." Jade barked.
Jade sat in the Gryffindor table and saw Ginny and Draco walking side by side, without holding hands. Draco looked like he had better things to do than to be brought along with his girlfriend. Ginny whispered something and looked teary eyed and placed a kiss on his cheek. Draco had his eyes set on Jade who looked away towards Harry, who was looking forward to their date. Draco walked towards them with Ginny and stopped, behind Harry, in front of Jade.
"Jay, I need to talk to you." Draco said.
"About?" Jade asked, popping a mini croissant in her mouth.
"About last night. I need to talk to you privately." Draco insisted but Jade only waved her hands around.
"Say what you've got to say in front of them." Jade said.
"It's none of their business." Draco said in a hard voice.
"Then I guess it's not my business either." Jade sighed.
Draco looked defeated. He gave one cold look towards Harry and left off, without giving another glance to any one of them.
When breakfast was over, the students who were ready to leave to go to Hogsmeade, prepared to leave. Jade saw Draco shoot out of the Great Hall and Ginny frantically trying to catch up to him. Jade didn't bother to wonder. Jade, Harry, Hermione and a begrudging Ron hopped into a carriage that took them to Hogsmeade. Sitting there and listening to some of the conversations between Harry and Ron were hilarious. It in a way, reminded her of how she and Draco used to joke around. Harry had definitely kept her mind off of Draco, even though Jade would unwillingly drift off into thoughts about him, Harry would notice and pull her back.
When they were in Hogsmeade, Ron and Hermione separated and promised to meet back up with them in a few hours. It was now, Harry and Jade. Jade started to panic. She had never been this nervous in her life before. To be on a date with a boy sent weird feelings through her and being alone with him was ever weirder.
"How about the tea shop?" Harry asked, pointing to the small tea shop. Jade looked uncomfortable. She wasn't a tea person.
"Isn't there anything else to do around here?" Jade asked looking around. Harry looked around and a sly smile crept across his face.
"Yes, and I know you're going to love this." He said. He grabbed her hand and quickly walked down a long lane.
"Where are we going?" Jade asked. They were walking pretty quickly, for a long time.
"We're almost there, hold on." Harry said with a grin. They made a small turn and passed by a few shops, towards a very big junkyard. Harry stopped and let Jade's hand go. He cupped his hands around the sides of his mouth and took a deep breath. "JACK!" Harry yelled.
There was a loud clutter and they heard heavy footsteps. "Who dead?!" a very large man with a bushy red beard asked, hobbling out of the wooden garage.
"Who died you mean, no one's dead, it's just me." Harry said putting out his hand for Jack to shake. Jack looked relieved. He wiped the sweat from his brow and clamped Harry's hand with his two enormous hands.
"Very, very, very pleased to see you back Mr. Potter!" Jack said shaking Harry's hand vigorously.
Harry tried to steady himself from falling and pointed to Jade. "This is Jay Harper, a friend." Harry introduced. "Jay, this is Jack Candy."
"Hey." Jade said with a nod.
"Hey! Nice to meet you!" Jack boomed.
Harry clapped his hands together and rubbed it as if he was ready for something. "Now, the reason why I actually brought you here Jay is because Jack has a junkyard, a very special junkyard." Harry said pointing to the junkyard behind the wooden garage. Jack turned and looked proud of his junkyard.
"It's eh junkyard full o jewels. People, who throw away their brooms or flying cars, throw them here and it gives us the liberrdy of nit pickin every part off to create a new one." Jack said.
Jade's eyes widened. "Oh…so you make cars and brooms here?!" Jade asked seeing them nod and grin. "Sweet!" Jade exclaimed.
Jack waved his gigantic hand to follow him. "Come on! Let's get you both started! Harry been o comin here fer a very long time! Tell her the story Harry!" Jack said.
"Actually, Fred and George introduced me to Jack a few years ago and I started spending time here whenever Hermione and Ron needed their alone time together in Hogsmeade. It's a hobby I started to develop and being with you today, I knew you would absolutely love this type of…date." Harry said.
"It's interesting actually, my first date, being this memorable and…I'm just out of words, I can't explain to you how happy I am. This is exactly my type of date. I wonder why we haven't met like this before." Jade said.
"And like I told you last time, we can start now." Harry said.
Jade and Harry followed Jack around the huge and cluttered junkyard. Various items of metal, broken brooms and parts were lying around, on top of each other, creating mountains. Jack picked up a few things as he babbled on about the junkyard that he had been storing for 40 plus years.
"Whew, so you must get all sorts of old stuff." Jade said looking around.
Jack grinned widely and quickly waved them towards him, to show them something.
"Look at that." Jack said, pointing to a very old broom.
"Wow, that is fucking ugly." Jade said wondering why he had that ugly broom on showcase.
"That's my beaudy! That's the first broom that's ever been made! By Elias Grimstone himself, the Oakshaft 79." Jack said, looking at the broom with adoration.
Jade raised her eyebrows and turned to Harry. "Well do you fly it around?" Jade asked seeing Jack give her an incredulous look.
"Why in hell would I do that?! It's about 200 years old!" he said seeing Jade shrug.
"Just a bit useless when you're not doing anything with it, that's all." Jade said. They followed Jack into the garage and Harry pulled out a broom.
"I just finished putting in their charms. I think I'm finished with it, I need to just polish the wood before I test it out." Harry said. Jade helped him with the coloring and polish, grinning and talking excitedly about the new broom. "I want to work on an actual auto, like a car." Harry said.
Jack looked up and hurried over to the corner of his garage. He whipped off a cover and revealed a shiny black motorcycle. "Look at this one. I fixed it myself with some of the parts lyin around here." He said. Jade and Harry stood up, inspecting the motorcycle.
"What is it?" Jade asked, fascinated by this piece of object with tires.
"It's a motorcycle. I'm assuming you've never ridden on one have you?" Harry asked as Jade shook her head.
"I've never seen something like it." Jade said.
"Jack! Hello-ah! Anyone there?" a voice shouted.
Jack dropped his tools and hurried out. "Customers!" he explained as he thumped out of the garage.
Harry had shown Jade how to sit on the motorcycle and Jade felt incredibly cool to be associated with something with this. If Harry knew how to actually ride the bloody thing, she would have gotten him to ride her around.
"I think that's the gas pedal. I think you twist it to get it started, I don't know." Harry said, testing the handles. He twisted it slightly, hearing the motor rev into life. Jade's eyes widened and she gasped, looking at Harry.
"It's like a broom! It's like a fucking broom! Sweet Merlin! I want one of these!" Jade said jumping on the seat. Harry smiled at her and shrugged.
"They're pricey…and you need to learn how to ride one before you actually buy one. Imagine buying a brand new motorcycle and you just crash the poor thing the next hour." Harry said shaking his head.
"You'll show me right? You'll teach me how to ride a motorcycle, and then I'll buy one. Maybe buy two so we…you know." Jade trailed off, smiling at his sweet face. There was something in his eyes that made Jade want to throw-no, gently place the motorcycle down and push him against the wall. There was this unexplained desire that spread through her chest, her arm, down to her stomach and her legs.
"One gets us closer. I'll lead…and sometimes, you'll lead." He said swinging his leg on the other side and placing himself behind her. Jade turned around to meet Harry's face. Her arms and legs started to feel weak and she let her arms relax from trying to grip the handles of the motorcycle. Harry placed a hand on one side of her face, the side where she couldn't turn any further. He brushed her lips across hers, sending a shock erupting in the dead center of her chest. Her whole body soon reacted, as goose bumps shot across her body. Another first. Harry kissed her this time, but placed her lips on hers, gently caressing her lips with his. Jade felt her breathing stop cold and her mind racing, even though her back went stiff. Harry smiled briefly against her lips and before he continued, two voices broke through.
"But yeh told me tomorro!" "Oh Clarke! I was busy!" Jack argued. Jack and another tremendous man entered the garage.
"Meh cousin…Clarke. Clarke, Mr. Harry Potter and his friend, Jay." Jack introduced. Harry got up from the motorcycle and greeted Clarke, who was more than happy to see him.
"Mr. Potter! Very, very happy to see you! Yeh know-"
"All right, shut yer yap and come ere." Jack said, clearly annoyed by his cousin's interruption.
Harry walked off to pick up his broom and Jade turned back to the motorcycle. All she needed to do was slowly move the crutch of the gas pedal to move. Easy. Jade wrenched the handle and did not expect the next second.
The last thing she was hitting the tree and white fireworks.
