Hey everyone, Please R&R. Luv. L.
Chapter Six: Silent Philosophy
Aniko watched Jade slink away from the doorway, and cross the room. She sat gracefully on the end of her bed and stared at her with sad green eyes. Jade took Ani's hand in hers; held it for a moment. Then she dropped it like a hot stone onto the white crisp bed linens. The black dog, that was on her bed, was now bounding out of the room and down the hall to somewhere else.
"He misses you, everyday he knows that he couldn't be with you. Yet he just wants to make sure you're ok. I didn't tell him about what happened. I know he would have rushed here and try to save you. Oh by the way your mom's here."
"At AsVoria?" Ani asked her.
"Yes, it seems that when something major happens to one of her children she races over." Jade said sarcatilcally.
"Funny really, oh is that dogs hers?"
"Yea, his names is Padfoot. Weird name I thought, it really doesn't suit the dog he's more of a Scruffy. He's always dirty the school maid are having a great time cleaning up after him." Jade said making small talk. Ani knew why she was here.
"Jade! I know what you're not asking, and some times I'm not sure why you're related to the wizard Potters. You're really not that arrogant, but you are courageous. The reason I blanked out and destroyed that room was because I just couldn't take it anymore." Ani spoke calmly to her tense best friend.
"What do you mean, "Just couldn't take it anymore" Ani? You're not making any sense." Retorted Jade trying to ignore her. Aniko sighed heavily and kept on talking. Jade just sat there, and listened to what she was saying.
"Ok here's the thing. I see my dad with Potter and it sends me to a not so pretty place. I just don't get how he always puts that wizard boy first. Like my brothers and me don't even exist. It's not fair really, he's my dad, but my mom never did tell him that we surivived the death eaters. I always wonder what would have happened if she had told him."
"Ok, yet what happened with the room thing?" Jade asked confused.
"I drank too much, it's no big deal, and it's not like anything I do is by the rules anyway." Ani laughed slightly.
"Ani don't act so coolly about all this, what you're doing is very dangerous." Jade hissed at her.
"Right Potter, chill a little will you." Ani answered arrogantly.
"Don't tell me to chill, Black, I have every right to be mad, I was the ONE WHO FOUND YOU!" Jade screamed.
"Common Potter, I know you couldn't care less, you're like everyone else who thinks I'm doing something to be named G of L, cus there's no way I could have been chosen because I'm gifted, all you guys see is a Half blood Aired. Well get this Jade, both my parents are half, so I become full." Ani spoke coolly to Jade.
"FUCK YOU BLACK, I'm sorry I cared." Jade yelled at her got up and left Aniko alone in the floor to ceiling marble room. She stormed out of the room, while Ani kicked herself for saying all those horrible things. It wasn't Jade's fault her dad didn't know about her. She felt like crap now, all she wanted was a helping hand, or someone to hug her. All of a sudden her mom's new dog came trotting in. How the hell did he always know the right time to reappear. The dog came over to Ani, climbed up onto the bed and layed his head compassionately on her lap.
"Padfoot, I don't deserve a friend right now."
Padfoot looked at her with his big black eyes and gave her a look of 'yes you do". Aniko buried her face into the black dogs back. She started to cry thick wet tears that soaked his clean but matted fur. Jade slid down the wall outside of the hospital, hearing Ani cry inside made her notice how much of a strong front she puts up. It made her hurt inside, she was a true Luminus loyal and brave, living with the hurt of seeing your father's love being given to someone else. That had to hurt. Jade placed her head into her hands. Jade was a horrible friend but Ani didn't make it easy to love her. It was a constant up hill battle.
(Head Master Gryffindor's Office)
"Head Master, please tell me again why no one had seen a change in Aniko's behavior until now?" Amelia Dumbledore spoke smoothly.
"Majesty, we really could not tell. She's not one to talk about her feelings." Gryffindor answered the Empress.
"Yes, I know this may have been my fault from an action I did long ago."
The Empress was now standing at the large leaded glass window that faced south. Her green eyes hid broken sad memories. Her long white blonde hair shimmered at her waist as she starred at the setting sun from behind the window. The sunrise casted a rainbow of colours across the black lake.
"What happened, My Lady?" the Headmaster asked her.
