Jade opened her eyes to the darkness. She blinked, feeling herself rock back and forth. Clearly she was on the carriage.
"I'm blind! I can't see anything!" Jade shrieked, lifting herself up.
"No! You're not blind! Go back to sleep!" Hermione hissed, pushing Jade gently back down to her lap. Jade removed the cloth from her eyes as saw Hermione glare at her.
"What happened to me?" Jade asked. Hermione went to roughly push her back to sleep but Harry spoke up.
"It was a mess. You're lucky your brains didn't explode, you're mad Jay." Harry said touching her hand.
"But I don't feel anything." Jade said, touching her head.
"Yes…I know, because you were taken to St. Mungos, look what time it is." Harry said.
Jade looked out the window. It was dark. The moon was up and she looked back at Harry, Ron sitting right next to him. "What is the time?" Jade asked.
"11:30, you were out cold for 6 hours. Now lie back down and don't speak!" Hermione scolded.
"Chill! Wow…what happened then?" Jade asked, turning to Harry, her head still lying on Hermione's lap.
"Then you were just bleeding a fountain. I thought you had died…scared me to death you know." Harry said, squeezing her hand a little tighter.
"Go get a room the two of you." Ron said rolling his eyes.
"Weasel-fuck! Mother-"
"Jade! Ron! Shut up! Both of you! Honestly! You can't seem to keep your mouth shut and you missy; you just came out of a near death experience that could have led to a coma, yet you still rile yourself up to do it again!" Hermione said.
"Hey, hey, hey. It could have led to a coma but it didn't did it? That's pretty horrible though, thank you for telling me. And I didn't start it! He was picking on the sick." Jade said pointing to Ron, who looked outraged.
"She does that a lot." Hermione and Harry chorused.
"She's a mental runaway from a mental hospital." Ron spat, shooting a dirty look towards Jade who grinned.
"Does anyone have a cig on them? I swear I-"
"Jade, one more word and I will have your head, I swear." Hermione said impatiently.
The carriage slowed down and steadied to a halt. Harry and Ron stepped out and helped Jade get out. Harry swung her on to his arms as Hermione gently cradled her head in her hands.
"Please be careful!" Hermione squeaked.
"Yes! We do not want my fragile skull to break!" Jade hollered.
"What did I say? She's crazy isn't she?!" Ron defended himself.
"Will you please not start?!" Hermione snarled.
Jade stuck her tongue out at Ron who shook his head, muttering obscenities under his breath.
"Stop doing that to him." Harry warned lightly.
"Not you too." Jade said seeing him look down and grin again. Jade grinned back and touched his cheek with her thumb. Her head started to feel light, not because she was staring at him, but she felt the blood run out, making her head lull into his chest.
"You need a lot of rest and sleep." Harry said as they entered the castle. They walked through the corridors and hallways, taking the route to Gryffindor.
"Hold it!" a voice snapped.
Jade could barely keep her eyes open. Her head was throbbing.
"Potter, you can't carry your girlfriend around like you're in some bloody park. This is a school."
Jade blinked to see Draco standing in front of her, taken aback when he saw her. Did she really look that horrible to him?
"What did you do to her?" Draco asked infuriatingly, walking over to them.
"You mean what she did to herself?" Harry asked.
"There's blood all over her." Draco said touching Jade's shirt.
"I saw these white stars when I flew…" Jade said in a high pitched falsetto.
"I can't believe no one sees it." Ron burst out.
"She's gone crazy! She's lost her mind! No! Jay you-" Draco exclaimed.
"I quit!" Hermione shouted. She stomped off and pulled Harry away from Draco and Ron.
"You have to tell me what happened. How did she get herself into this? Would it help if she rested in my room? Jade? Do you want to stay in my room?" Draco asked, touching her hand softly. His soft hand on hers, made herself feel as if there was an anvil, pressing her heart flat. She stared at him, the concern on his face. She moved her body to feel more of him but Harry ripped her from him and walked away.
"No thank you Malfoy. We'll take her before you throw her away again like some used tissue." Harry said bitterly.
Jade winced at the words. She couldn't blame Harry, Draco did deserve it. She peeked from Harry's arms and saw Draco watch her disappear into the Gryffindor common room.
Harry stopped at the foot of the staircase to the girl's dormitory. "I'm going to set you down. See if you can walk on your own." Harry said setting Jade on her feet gently.
"I can do it." Jade said swooning dangerously. She felt the blood climb down through her head, making the room spin. She caught on to Hermione's arm as they slowly ascended the stairs.
"Be careful and sleep tight." Harry said seeing them leave.
Jade slowly walked up the stairs and Hermione opened the door for her, quickly clearing anything in Jade's path that could prove as a threat for the next head blow. That would include the small rug, a pen and the unlit cigarette that Jade dropped on the floor.
"Jeez Hermione, give me a break, I'm fine." Jade said as Hermione set her down.
"Yes I'll give you a nice break, somewhere around your arms or legs if you don't stop complaining!" Hermione fussed.
"I thought I was supposed to do the threats about breaking bones. You're rubbing off on me Mione…you're getting god at this." Jade said seeing a small smile from Hermione.
"Just go to sleep Jade." She whispered, smoothing Jade's short hair. Jade shook her head and closed her eyes, drifting off to another sleep.
In the morning, Jade woke up, feeling much better from last night. She remembered how bad her head throbbed and how careful everyone was, getting her back to the castle. Hermione was gracious enough to bring breakfast in bed and they spoke as Jade ate. Jade told Hermione how great the date went; before she rammed herself head first into a tree with the motorcycle. She briefly went through the kiss, but Hermione made her tell her every detail.
"Detail?! What the fuck for?" Jade asked. She always wondered why girls went into the deepest and most detailed snogging session. It made Jade uncomfortable to talk about anything else than 'we just kissed.' It didn't seem to satisfy Hermione.
"And then?" Hermione asked, expecting something gross.
"And then I fucked myself up!" Jade answered. Hermione shook her head and threw her hands up.
