At Dinner. You sit by Draco who had his hand on your thigh as he talked to Crabbe and Goyle. You hear a slight flutter and look up. A tawny owl swooped over to Dumbledore and gave him a letter before taking flight again. You turn back to Draco, who had asked you a question. "Sorry, what did you want?"

"I asked you if-"

Dumbledore stud and cut him off. "Will Miss Griffin and Miss Granger follow me please?"

You stiffly get up and Follow your half sister and headmaster into his office. He had you and Hermione sit and he fixed his eyes upon you and her. The sparkle was gone and he looked serious, his expression was grim. "What is wrong Professor?" Hermione asked alarmed by his face's appearance.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news for you two." He looks at you two and you silently wait for him to continue. "Your Mother, and Hermione's Father's house was attacked by a raid of Death Eaters." He said slowly and Hermione gasped. "They are alive, as far as I know. They have been taken to Saint Mungo's Hospital."

"But, Sir," you say calmly, "They are Muggles."

"It doesn't matter, they need a wizard's magic to live right now."

Hermione was in tears by now. But you stayed calm. "I-I-I w-want to-to see them!" Hermione cried loudly.

"Of coarse. You two will travel by Floo powder. Go ahead."

"W-when did this happen?"

"Yesterday. They sent an owl as soon as they knew, but it took a wile for the owl to get here."

Hermione ran to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo powder and was gone.

"Miss Griffin?"

"I think I'd rather stay at school."

"She is your mother, Miss Griffin, I know you live with your father and never really knew her, but she needs you there."

You sigh and take the Floo powder and step into the fireplace. "Saint Mungo's."

You follow the Healer to the room your Mother and her husband were. They lay on two identical white beds, there faces white and eyes closed. Hermione Ran to there sides and started to cry. You stud in the door, fidgeting with the bracelet your father had given you.

An hour later, you were still in the door and the healer in charge of your mother and her husband came in. "I know you want to stay by there sides, But I need to do my job. Why don't you two go down to eat something?"

You and Hermione obeyed. "Why did you even come?" Hermione asked you.

You say nothing and shoved a pumpkin pastry into your mouth.

"Jade, I-" a group of healers ran past you and Hermione and turned towards the hall your mother's room was. "NO!" Hermione ran after them and you follow her. They were in your mother's room. Hermione tried to get in, but a healer stopped her.

"Miss Granger, I'm sorry but you and your sister will have to wait out here." He closed the door.

You sat, leaning against the wall, watching Hermione pace before the door.

"What's taking so long? It's been HOURS!!"

"Only one, Hermione."

"I want to know!!"

"Maybe Mum's gone into a coma?"

"DON'T- YOU- EVEN- JOKE- ABOUT- THAT- JADE!!"

The door opened and a healer came out, looking sad and tired.

"Well? How's Mum and Dad?"

"Your Mother, she didn't make it. I'm sorry." He said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"NO!" Hermione sank to the ground sobbing. The healer walked away, expecting you to help her thru this. Hermione looked at your calm face and exploded. "HOW CAN YOU- BE SO CALM?! OUR MOTHER IS DEAD AND YOU ACT LIKE IT'S- IT'S NO BIG DEAL!!"

" I never knew her. She was just someone who I had to live with this summer. She's not my mother, she's yours."

"How can you be so cold?"

"It's true, Granger. My only family is my father. It's hard to love someone if you never get to know them."

"You never took the time to!"

You entered the Slytherin common room and started to descend the stairs to the girl's dorms. "Jade? Ware were you?" Asked a tired voice.

You turn to see a half asleep Draco sitting up on the black couch. "Saint Mungo's." you say yawning.

Draco was up now. "What? What happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I was visiting someone. Death Eaters attacked my idiot of a mother. Dumbledorek forced me to go see her."

"The muggle?"

"Yes. I know, it's odd."

"How is she?"

"Dead."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."

"I'm not. She was a muggle, and I hardly knew her. If, on the other hand, it was Father, I'd be a mess."

"So, was that why you and Mudblood were called to follow Dumbledorek at Dinner?"

"Yes. She's still there, thou, she refuses to leave her fathers side." You sat next to him on the couch and looked at him. "She won't be here for a wile." You smile.

Draco slipped his arm around your shoulders and you lean into him, your head on his shoulder. "I was worried about you."

"Why?"

"The look on Dumbledorek's face when he called your name. I don't know why."

You give a slight grown as you open your eyes to the dim light of the green lamps of the common room. Draco's arm was still around you. You give his lips a light kiss and his eyes flicker open. "Did we sleep here?"

"We must have drifted off to sleep when we were talking last night." You said standing and looking at your watch. "We should get ready. Class starts in an hour." You rushed down the steps to your dorm room and changed into fresh robes and meet Draco at the Slytherin table.

"Griffin, ware is Hermione?" asked Harry and Ron as they stud behind you.

"At Saint Mungo's." you say stuffing a slice of bacon into your mouth.

"What did you do to her?!!"

"Nothing, Potter. She's there visiting her bloody father." You hiss. "The old bloke got himself Crucio'd and his wife killed by some Death Eaters." You say in a bored voice.

"What?"

"You heard me." You finish your breakfast and stand gathering your books for class. "I'll see you in class, Draco." He nodded and you left the Great Hall. Harry and Ron followed you. "What do you two want?"

"How did it happen?"

"I don't know." You say continuing to walk. Ron grabs your arm and stops you.

"Stop being such a Slytherin for one minuet and tell us what we bloody want to know!" he said with force. "How is Hermione?"

"Glued to her father's bedside and crying from her mother's death." You say shaking his hand off you.

"When will she be back?"

You shrug. "Either after her father dies or he gets better."

"Why are you here? She was your mother too." Harry said.

"UG! Don't remind me, Potter!" you scowl and turn into your classroom.

"Jade, Why do you act this way? I don't, can't believe you're really like this. Do you act like this so the Slytherins will respect you?"

"Look around, Potter. Do you see any other Slytherins? No. Just because I have the same Bloody mother as that Granger Mudblood doesn't make me like her! Now, let me be!" you said pointing your wand at the two Gryffindors.

"Fine." Harry said putting his hands up and turning on his heel. Ron silently followed.
