-An annual event-

12:56, 15 June 2024

Snape struts into the room, closing all the blinds. Dramatic as always.

"Turn to page 394"

"Need help turning the pages." I tease looking at Draco.

"Excuse me, sir. Where's Professor Lupin?"

"That's not really your concern is it , Potter. Suffice it to say your Professor find himself incapable of teaching at the present time. Turn to page 394"

"Werewolves?" Ron looks at the page.

"But sir, we just learned about red caps and hinkypunks" Hermione turns around. "We're not meant to start that for weeks"

"Quiet. Now which one of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf?" Hermione immediately raises her hand but Snap ignores it "No one? How disappointing."

"Please, sir. An Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice." Hermione calls out. "With each full moon he transform. He no longer remembers who he is. He'd kill his best friend. Furthermore the werewolf only response to the call of its own kind."

Draco looks at me and howls, I shove my hand over his mouth, shutting him up. He removes my hand and moves onto doodling something.

"Thank you Mr Malfoy." Snape states. "That's the second time you've spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?"

"He's got a point, you know." I hear Ron whisper, and I press my lips together.

"Five points from Gryffindor."

I watch as Draco folds up a drawing of what I presume is my brother being hit my lightening on a broomstick and flies it over to him.

"Seriously?" I look at him and he just shrugs.

"As an antidote to your ignorance, and on my desk, by Monday morning, two rolls of parchment on the werewolf, with emphasis on recognising it."

"But sir its Quidditch tomorrow." Harry protests.

"Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr Potter. Loss of limb will not excuse you."

"Exactly Draco." I tease looking at his arm.

"Can you write it for me?"

"Uh, no." I bop his nose as Harry opens the note from Draco, and looks over. They both glare at each other, boy this match is going to be interesting.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Right guys. I know the weather isn't great but that's no excuse" Flint tells us.

"Yeah but if i get hit by lightening and die, Im haunting you" I point to him.

"Well then lucky me." He smirks and I gag. "Right, Malfoy's injured so Potter, you're Seeker this game "

...

The weather was atrocious, I could barely see "Just get the snitch quickly."I mutter to myself following Harry up into the clouds. I loose him for a moment amongst the fog. I fly further into them when i feel it getting colder, I look down and spot ice forming on my broom.

I look up and spot Harry along with two dementors. Shit, what are they doing here? More and more start to appear. "Harry!" I call out as the snitch appears in front of me. I grab it but as I do a dementors appears in front of Harry, knocking him off his broom.

"Harry!" I race after him as he falls to the ground. If only I had my wand on me I could slow him down. I try to reach my hand out to grab ahold of him when a cloud of smokes reaches out grabbing his and pulling him into my grip. "What?" i gasp in shock. Getting scarily close to the ground I pull my broomstick up but Harry's feet hit the ground causing us to launch forwards on to the pitch. I feel the wind get knocked out of me as Harry's hand leaves mine. My body grazes across the pitch finally coming to a stop, and I lay there on my back, exhausted.

"Jade! Are you okay?" I hear as Draco appears above me, but there's two of him.

"Wait when did you become a twin Draco" I giggle, reaching my hand out to touch his heads.

"What? What are you on about, there is only one of me." He looks down concerned.

"No, there's two. One. Two." I point. "Oh now there's three."

"Professor" Draco calls out.

"Hey look what I have." I hold up the snitch.

"Well done Miss Potter, but now we need to get you to the Hospital wing." Snape now appears, pointing his wand at me I feel myself hover off the ground as my vision darkens.

....

"When do you think she will wake up?" I hear a girl ask.

"Can't be long, Potter has only just woken up" I hear another voice.

"What happened up there?"

"Dementors." I groan, as my eyes flutter open.

"Jade!" I spot Pansy smile.

"How are you feeling?" Draco asks.

"Sore. Tired. Thirsty"

"Here." Pansy hands me a glass of water.

"How's Harry?" I ask taking a sip.

Draco looks behind him "Um seems fine, little peaky or he just might always be that pale but good news, we won the match."

I laugh shaking my head, " Of course we did. You better watch out Draco, Im coming for your position."

"Yeah whatever, can't wait to rub it in Potters face."

I roll my eyes, sitting up. "Hey, hey, Jade, take it slow.

"No Im fine, see Draco this is how you handle an injury."

Everyone laughs except him. I tug his hand, grinning at him, as he sulks.

"And at this point knocking myself out has become an annual event."

"That can't be good for you Jade." Draco sighs as the others start to leave.

"Um Draco, did you see what happened?"

"When?" He asks, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"When I was flying after Harry."

"Uh no, I mean I could see two figures but the weather was so bad there wasn't much point of an audience being there. Why?"

"Oh um.. well I was reading out for Harry but he was too far away." I look around before motioning for Draco to come closer. "And smoke came out of my hand a bit like in the boggart and It pulled Harry closer to me."

"Smoke? How does that work?" Draco whispers back.

"I don't know. Magic?" I suggest looking at Draco. He gulps and I realise how close our faces are to each other but neither of us move. "Are you going to tell Professor Lupin?"

"Yeah, yea. I will... um right." I start to get out of the bed.

"Whoa." Draco holds his hands out, "Not now, you need to rest."

"Im fine. Look." I stand up for a second before stumbling, Draco grabs my arms, holding me up. "Fine hmm? Lay back down Jade. I'll stay... if you like."

I nod, sitting back down. Draco sits next to me on the edge of the bed. "Wait." I scoot over and pat the spot next to me, "You look so awkward sat there, come here."

"Imagine Potter walks past right now." Draco smirks moving next to me.

"Do you want to make him jealous or something?" I tease. He scoffs and I lean my head on his shoulder. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like if Harry agreed to be your friend in first year?"

"At first yes, but not anymore. I only really wanted to do it because he was Harry Potter and-."

"He was famous."

"Basically."

I mindlessly start to play with his hand, "I can't believe it 's only been two years. Feels like an eternity." He hums. " I think it still bugs you Draco, the fact Harry rejected you cause why else do you constantly give him hell?"

"Because he needs humbling and it's fun." he looks down at our hands, "Anyway, I ended up befriending the better Potter."

"Too right you did. Never getting rid of me now."I smile, and he chuckles.

"Well lucky me... also I though you'd like to know that, I should be getting this off soon." He motions to his arm.

"About time." I yawn.

"Boring you am I?" Draco teases.

"Mmmh." I hum, adjusting so that I was now leaning on his chest. "Who knew being knocked out could be so tiring."

"Doesn't rain also tire you out?"

"Yeah I heard about that." I yawn again and Draco chuckles. "Dra- the other night... in the Great Hall."

"What about it?" He ask, playing with a strand of my hair.

"What were you dreaming about?"

"Uhhh dreaming?"

"Well sounded more like a nightmare."

"I was talking?" He asks and I nod. "oh.. umm."

"Don't listen to the others... about the boggart." I mumble, barley being able to keep my eyes open. "They just finally have something to tease you about."

As I feel myself drifting off I hear him whisper, "Yeah, I think Pansy's just jealous. That i-"

"What are you doing?" I hear Harry's voice.

"Shut up Potter, what do you think i'm doing? Playing chess?"

"Jus-just ... don't do anything to her." He huffs before walking away.

"Pfft, god I hate him." He mumbles to himself, "Why would I do anything to Jade?"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Ahh I love the snow." I exhale as we walk to Hogsmead.

"Really?" Draco asks.

"Yes, everything just looks so peaceful, yet bright. Don't tell me you're not a fan?" I turn to face him.

He shrugs, "Im a fan of being warm and dry. Snow does the exact opposite."

"So you mean you're a fan of being boring." I poke his nose.

"Whatever, lets go this way." He drags me away from the village center, and his minions follow. We walk for a bit when I notice Ron and Hermione looking at the Shrieking Shack.

"Well, well. Look who's here." Ah this is why he wanted to go this way. "You two shopping for your new dream home? Bit grand for you, isn't it, Weasle-bee? Don't your family sleep in one room?"

I wack Draco in the chest, trying to stop him.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy." Ron groans.

"Ooh not very friendly. Boys, I think it's time we teach Weasle-Bee how to respect his superiors"

I start laughing and so does Hermione "Hope you don't mean yourself?"

"How dare you talk to me! Filthy little mudblood!"

"Draco, what the-" I yell but i'm interrupted by a snow ball flying at Draco out of nowhere.

"Who is that?" Draco calls out looking terrified. More and more snowballs coming flying at Draco and his 'boys'

"Don't stand there do something!" Draco tells them.

"What?" they exclaim. I stand there watching and laughing as they all get pushed around. Draco gets dragged through the snow "Help. Jade. Help me." He cries.

"Im okay." I laugh as Ron calls out, "What's up Malfoy? Lost your Skis?"

Draco stands up and start to run off, pushing Crabbe out the way.

"Catch you later!" I yell as the three boys run for their lives. Hermione laughs as a strand of her hair raises. "Harry!"

Harry appears out of nowhere. "Blood Hell, Harry. That was not funny."

We all laugh.

...

"Those weasels! Never told me about any Marauder's Map"

"Harry isn't going to keep it. he'll turn it over to Professor McGonagall. Aren't you? " Hermione asks

"What's the fun in that?" I ask. " Might as well hand in the invisibility cloak too. You have to let me borrow it Harry" He nods.

"Oh look who it is Madame Rosmerta. Ron fancies her." Hermione smiles.

"That's not true!"

"Into older women are we now Ronald." I tease as we spot Fudge arrive.
