"Jazz, I think you went too far this time," Sam said once Cedric was out of the hall, "look at his friends, he never really embarrassed you like that." Jazz shook her head and smiled widely.

"C'mon Sam, that was nothing compared to what I've planned," Jazz said gaining a disapproving look from Sam and a wide smile from Emma. "He's a jerk, he deserves it," she said simply and stood up. She walked over to the Gryffindor table looking for Harry, he saw her and stated to get up nervously.

"No don't do that," she smiled sweetly and he smiled in return "I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade later."

"Just you and me or with friends?" he was surprised when he realized he was hoping she asked him to go alone with her.

"Whatever you want," she said turning to leave "just let me know what you decided, I'll be in the library." She turned and left quickly. She found herself sitting alone in the library and hoping Harry chose to go with his friends, she wanted to go alone with him and it scared her. There was something about him that made her want to tell him everything, but she knew she couldn't do that if she wanted him to be her friend. She didn't want people to pity her, she wanted them to accept her for who she was and not because they felt sorry for her.

That night she went to Hogsmeade with all her friends. There was no time for a private conversation with Harry and she was grateful, since she didn't trust herself alone with him. The next day she spent it in the library doing her homework with Sam, they spent most of the day there and when they finally left it was already time for dinner. She sat with all her new friends and they all went together to the common room. By then she had a group of friends, they were 4 boys (including Ron and Harry) and 6 girls (including Hermione).

"Wake up, you only have ten minutes left" she opened her eyes and sighed as she pulled herself out of bed. Breakfast was uneventful but she ate slowly until everyone had already left, she had two hours of charms class alone.

"Good morning, Ms King" Filtwick said as she entered the room.

"Good morning sir," she sat in the front facing the teacher's desk, he smiled and started the lesson. It was easy to understand when she was the only student and the teacher could focus on her all the time but it also made the class seem longer, since there was no one to take the teacher's attention from her. After Charms she had History of Magic, the only class she shared with the Gryffindors on Mondays.

She sat next to Harry and they talked until the teacher started the class, he was saying something about how to learn history when she snapped out of her thoughts.

"…and I believe the best way for you to learn how to understand a biography is if you write one first," professor Binns said "I will assign you a partner and you will have to write a biography about your partner's life, trying to write some things about his family history but concentrating on them." Jazz felt herself tense, she couldn't tell some stranger about her family and she couldn't lie because it would affect her grade if she did and if it was discovered it would be much worse, but Binns was still talking "I will choose one biography and the writer will read it in front of the class, now please pay attention to your partners because I wont repeat." She didn't pay attention and instead tried to think of a way to get herself out of it, she could ask to do another project and that way she wouldn't fail…

"King, Jasmine will be working with," Binns said while he looked at the list on his desk, "Potter, Harry." She was relieved and worried all at the same time, she turned and tried to return Harry's smile but failed. She left the class quickly trying to avoid Harry but he was too fast and he caught up with her easily.

"If you didn't want to work with me you should've told Binns before," he looked hurt and she felt guilty knowing she'd caused that.

"It's not that I don't want to work with you," she said shaking her head "I just don't want everyone to know the story of my life, you know." He smiled and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the library.

"Don't worry about that now," he smiled and her stomach turned into a knot "we'll start with me and then we'll write yours together." She tensed again and walked to a deserted part of the library where she found an empty table and sat down; he soon joined her and smiled comfortingly. "Don't worry, we'll make your life sound really interesting," she laughed at that and he gave her a puzzled look.

"If that was the only problem we'd be finished by now, c'mon it's almost lunch time" she got up and walked to the door "we'll come back after dinner and finish this thing, ok?" he smiled and got up to follow her. They walked together until they reached the great hall and he went to sit with is friends in the Gryffindor table. She sat next to Jeremy who smiled her way before putting his head on his hands again; she looked at him and noticed he was really pale.

"Jeremy are you okay?" she asked putting a hand on his shoulder and forcing him to face her.

"I'm fine," he said "it's just my stomach, it hurts and I couldn't sleep last night" his face was a little green and his eyes kept closing like he was going to faint. She pulled him up to take him to the hospital wing.

"C'mon Jer, I'm taking you to see the nurse," she put his arm on her shoulder and hers on his waist, supporting his weight. They passed the fifth year students and were almost at the door when she felt Jeremy's full weight pushing her down, she looked up at him and his eyes were closed. "Hey Jer wake up," she said shaking him but his eyes remained closed, she wouldn't be able to support him any longer and they weren't even close to the hospital wing, "please wake up, please just a few more minutes." Nothing seemed to work and she was freaking out, she tried to get her friends' attention but they were deep in conversation. She hugged him tighter and took another step but he was too big for her and could feel his body slipping from her arms, she was sure he would fall any second so she just waited.

Cedric was sitting with his friends when he noticed her, she was just standing there hugging one of his friends, and he thought his name was something like Jeremy. It wasn't until Jasmine took another step that he noticed the guy was unconscious. He could see her struggling to keep him from falling and he thought of letting him fall just to have his revenge on her but he wasn't that kind of guy. He got up and ran to her side, taking one of the guy's arms and putting in over his shoulder as he steadied him.

"Thank you," she said relieve clearly on her voice, she obviously didn't know who was helping her. He kept quiet and they walked together to the nurse's office, Madame Pomfrey had them lay Jeremy on one of the beds and sent them away to their class. Jasmine's eyes were wide with shock when she realized he was helping her and she remained quiet most of the walk back.

"So, what happened to him?" he asked trying to make conversation, she kept her eyes on the floor and took a few minutes to answer.

"I don't know really," she looked up at him briefly before focusing on the floor again, he kept his gaze on her waiting for her to elaborate "he just said his stomach hurt and that he didn't sleep well last night, then I tried to take him to Pomfrey's office and he fainted before we even reached the door. You know the rest of the story," she looked a little uncomfortable "thanks for helping me, you really didn't have to do it." She shrugged like it was nothing but he smiled, he wanted to understand this girl and he wanted her to like him.

"It was nothing," he smiled her way but she wasn't looking at him, he felt a little hurt and then he worried if he was boring her.

"We should get to class, Snape will kill us if we're late" she said walking a little faster down the hall, he kept up easily and nodded.

"The homework was for Wednesday, right?" she shook her head and smiled.

"It's for today," she laughed as his face grew pale, "You didn't do it, did you?" he shook his head and ran his hand through his hair. He'd been so worried about the tournament he hadn't even thought of the homework.

"In my defense I did the first four questions, but it was too hard and I had other things to think about," she just laughed and he turned to her, "Did you do it?"

"Of course I did it," she'd always been very responsible and she laughed just at the thought of not doing her homework. They reached the room before Snape and Cedric went to talk with his friends, she sat alone in the same seat she'd taken the last class. She was hopping Cedric wouldn't sit with her this time because, even if he'd helped her and she enjoyed their small conversation, she could tell there was something different about him and she didn't want to be too involved with him.

"Hey, you're the new girl right?" she turned to see a black haired boy with blue eyes sitting next to her, he offered his hand and she took it smiling, "I'm Adrian Drake but please just call me Drake."

"I'm Jasmine King," she laughed and said, "but it would be kind of awkward if you called me King, so you can call me Jazz instead."

"Deal" he smiled and asked her a few questions about her and how she liked Hogwarts before Snape came in and Adrian left and took a seat next to another boy. Cedric rushed to her side as Snape made his way to the front, she sighed defeated when she saw him and noticed the puzzled look he gave her before she turned to look at Snape.

The class passed quickly and Cedric still couldn't understand the girl sitting next to him, she seemed nice when they talked before class but when he sat next to her she was her cold self again. She answered every question right and managed to keep herself busy the whole class so they couldn't talk. She just doesn't feel comfortable hanging with older students he kept telling himself, there was obviously nothing wrong with him so that was probably the best reason for her behavior. But this idea was shattered the second the class was finished because she rushed to the door where she was met by Adrian Drake, he watched them go and he asked himself what Drake had that he didn't.

She walked with Drake until she saw Harry waiting for her in the corner, she said bye to him and walked over to Harry. They walked together to the great hall and she kept looking for a good way to tell him about her family when they went to the library. But she knew she shouldn't worry about that, she could trust him as he could trust her. When they arrived at the Great Hall everyone was already there, they were all sitting in their respective tables and boys were shoving food into their mouths as fast as they could. Jazz walked quickly to the Hufflepuff table and took a seat next to Tyler.

"Hey Ty, why's everyone acting so weird?" she asked staring at the older students, he turned to look at her and shook his head.

"You really don't know?" he said rolling his eyes, "The champions will be announced today, for the Triwizard Tournament." She nodded quietly and thanked him for the update. She ate a piece of bread and drank a little juice before Dumbledore stood up and walked closer to the goblet. He gave one of his long speeches before announcing the champions.

"And now, the Durmstrang champion is… Victor Krum!" everyone cheered and Krum stood up and walked to the front, the goblet threw out another name as Dumbledore was saying "the Beauxbatons champion … Fleur Delacour!" just as with Krum, everyone cheered and Fleur made her way to the front of the room, "and at last, the Hogwarts champion is…" he made a pause as he waited for the name to come out, "Cedric Diggory!" everyone at Hufflepuff table went crazy and I sighed, three death sentences signed. Victor, Cedric and Fleur were standing in the front when the goblet started to change color again and another piece of paper came out. Dumbledore's face change as he read the name and it showed anger, concern and disappointment.

"Harry Potter!" everything went quiet and Jazz's head shout up as she searched for Harry in the crowd, he was as surprised as everyone else and his face was completely pale. "HARRY POTTER!" Dumbledore yelled and Harry got up and walked to the front, he went directly to the headmaster and they talked quietly for a few minutes. Harry and the other three champions were taken away and everyone returned to their common rooms, Jazz spotted Hermione and Ron and walked straight towards them.

"What the hell happened?" she asked Hermione, "How did his name end up in the goblet?" Hermione shook her head and Ron's face turned red.

"I don't know, I really don't," Hermione cried, Jazz walked a little closer and put her arms around her. "He knew it was dangerous he wouldn't have done that," she pulled away and looked back at the great hall "I'll wait for him and I'll let you know what happens as soon as I can." Jazz nodded and left.
