- Double agenting-

I meet up with the golden trio and we walk towards the hog's head, for Hermione's plan to get Harry to teach us how to defend ourselves.

"This is mad. Who'd want to be taught by me? Im a nutter, remember?"

"Look on the bright side. You can't be any worse than old toad face."

"Thanks Ron."

"Who's supposed to be meeting us then?"

"Just a couple of people." Hermione states opening the door.

"Lovely place." I hum.

"I thought it would be safer somewhere off the beaten track." We walk into the room and there were a few more than a couple people. Harry and the other two head to the front, while I lean against the wall at the back.

"Um.. hi. So... you all know why we're here. We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who's had real experience defending themselves, against the dark arts"

"Why?" a boy asks.

"Why?! Cause You-Know-Who's back you tosspot." Ron replies.

"So he says."

"So Dumbledore says." Hermione corrects.

"So Dumbledore says because he says. The point is, where's the proof?"

"Jade was there too."

"Why can't Jade teach us?" George asks.

"Yeah, she's got that hand skill." Someone else calls out, and I pull a face.

"And she a lot nicer to look at than Harry." Fred smirks.

"Shut up Fred." I groan as everyone looks at me.

"Well If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed." Another boy starts, ah it was Zacharias Smith.

"Im not going to talk about Cedric, so if that's why you're here, you might as well clear out now." He turns and whisper something to Hermione.

I walk forward, "You want to know how Cedric died? Huh? You came here just to hear how a innocent boy lost his life? Honestly you should be ashamed." I stare at the two boys. "Fine, I'll tell you. Wait no let me demonstrate. Zacharias. Get up." I point .

"Jade. No." Harry warns

"Im not going to actually kill him Harry. Jeez. Now stand there." I point to the boy as I walk to the other side of the room. "Hold you wand up." He does as he's told. "Good, now get ready to ..." I point my wand at him, knocking him back into some chairs. "Pretend that was the killing curse and I was Wormtail."

"Jade!" Hermione scolds.

"What? he asked." I say walking to the back of the room, I look at the other boy. "Happy now?" Fred and George cheer and whistle.

"Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?" Luna asks Harry.

"Yes." Hermione answers for him. "I've seen it."

"Blimey, Harry, I didn't know you could do that."

"And he killed a Basilisk." Neville adds. "With the sword in Dumbledore's office."

"Third year, he fought off about 100 dementors at once." Ron explains

"And last year, he really did fight off you-know-who in the flesh."

"Wait. Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that but the truth is most of that was just luck." Harry admits, and I hum in agreement. "I didn't know what I was doing half the time, I nearly always had help."

"He's just being modest."

"No, Hermione, Im not. I mean, most of the time Jade was there."

Everyone looks at me, "But was I really much help Harry? In second year I was just chatting while Harry killed the Basilisk and then last year I was chained up the whole time"

"Which you managed to break free of without a wand."

"Whatever. Im trying to be nice, now get back to your speech." I wave.

"Okay. Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake you can just try again tomorrow. But out there, when you're a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes... you don't know what that's like." He sits down.

"You're right Harry, we don't. That's why we need your help. Because if we are going to have any chance of beating... Voldemort." Hermione agrees.

"He's really back?" A young boy asks and Harry nods.

...

Everyone lines up, writing their name on a piece of parchment, signing themselves up for Potter club. Cute. Apparently Hermione has bewitched it, so if anyone spills, we'd know. Personally, I don't write my name down, don't want to be contracted to anything, but I watch the Weasley twins sign it before they come over to me.

"Would've much preferred you as my teacher." Fred teases.

"I'd be useless. Also can't teach you this." I let a couple clouds of smoke appear. "Barley know how to use it myself."

"Wicked though." George admits.

"Yeah you're a little badass"

"Hey, the 'little' was unnecessary."

...

"Right we first need to find a place to practice where Umbridge won't find out." Harry starts as we all follow him

"The Shrieking shack?" Ginny suggest.

"That's too small."

"Forbidden Forest?"

"Not bloody likely." Ron says

"Harry what happens if Umbridge does find out?" Ginny asks.

"Who cares?" Hermione tells her. "I mean.. it's sort of exciting isn't it? Breaking the rules"

"Okay Hermione, you've been spending too much time with Jade." Ron laughs.

"Hey!"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

I walk next to Draco, as Umbridge announces another rule across the school. "So what did Potter want?"

"Hmm?" I look at him.

"You left me with Crabbe and Goyle in Hogsmeade to go find your brother."

"Aww, what's wrong with them two?" I tease.

"Nothing but I much rather hang out with you" He leans his arms over my shoulders.

"There now Draco, don't want Umbridge to see you being a rebel." I smirk.

"Okay, I have to admit that rule is ridiculous."

"Only cause you're obsessed with me. Admit it."

He rolls his eyes, "Of course, but you're also extremely self-absorbed. Must run in the family." I wack his arm. "I just wish we had somewhere to hang out... alone."

"That would be nice. Just the two of us. I blame Umbitch... for us not being able to hang out alone"

"Well I blame Potter, he keeps stealing you away."

"Ew. Don't say that." I scrunch my nose. Draco chuckles slightly when a door appears next to us. I look to the door then back at him. "Did you do that?"

"Uh no."

We both look as the door opens revealing an empty common room. I walk toward it, but Draco holds me back. "Jade, are you sure?"

"What it's just a room Draco, and you wanted somewhere for us to hang out. Your wish has been granted." I smile as he follows me in. The door closes behind us.

"Woah." I exhale, going over a sitting on a sofa.

"What is this place?" Draco sits down next to me.

"Wait. I think this may be the Room of Requirement."

"The what?" He looks at me.

"I remember Hermione talking about it once... it adapt to the seekers need."

"So it doesn't always look like this."

"Probably not." I turn to face Draco. "But I suppose this was our need. To be alone."

"Yep. So I can't complain."

"Draco Malfoy can't complain? Wow i'm speechless." I tease, poking his chest. He grabs my hand pulling me onto his lap.

"Speechless? Jade Potter has nothing to say?" He teases back. I grin holding his face. "Shhh" I giggle leaning in and pecking his lips. He immediately presses his lips against mine again, whilst his arm snake around my waist. The kiss quickly escalates, as we make the most of being alone.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"So how did you find this place Jade?" Ron asks after Hermione explains what it is.

"Uhhh I was just standing outside and the door appeared."

"Were you in need of something?" Hermione asks.

"Yes."

"What?"

"Lets just say it didn't look like this when I found it." I press my lips together, as George and Fred raise their eyebrows at me. "Shut up"

"Right." Harry states. "Shall we get started?"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Those wishing to join the inquisitorial Squad for extra credit may sign up at the High Inquisitors's office."

I watch as Draco and his squad look at the sign that Filch his currently nailing to the wall.

"You're not seriously considering joining that?"

"Why not? Extra credit and a chance to have authority over Potter and those Gryffindors. You should join too, get back on Umbridge's good side."

I think about it for a moment. If I join i would have inside scope, on both sides. Harry might not like it but he'll have to deal with it.

"Okay." I state

"Wait? Really? " I nod. "I didn't think you were going to actually agree."

"Like you said why not?  What harm will it do?"

"Potter might stop speaking to you again."

"I'll deal with him"

...

I watch Draco smile smugly as Umbridge places a medal on his cloak. I try my hardest to keep my face neutral.

"Miss Potter, didn't think I see you here."

"I've decided to clean up my act, you know with OWLs approaching. There's no point wasting my attention on things that aren't true." I smile.

"Very good. Im glad you've had a change of heart. Clearly Mr Malfoy, here has a good influence on you." 

I look over at Draco, "Don't think you need to boost his ego anymore Professor." I tell her and she just lets out that annoying giggle.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Harry, I need to speak to you." I walk into the Gryffindor common room.

"How did you get in here?" Ron jumps.

"It's really not that hard Ronald."

"What's on your cloak." Hermione asks. "Oh is that an Inquisitorial Squad badge. You've joined the other side?!"

"Jade what?!"

"No! I mean technically yes. But it's all tactical, im a double agent now. Don't worry I haven't told anyone."

"Gathered. We would know if you did."

"huh?" I look at Hermione. "Oh no you wouldn't."

"Yes. I jinxed the sign-up sheet."

"Yeah and I never wrote my name down. Anyway..." I turn to face Harry. "They're onto your little club. Filch already guards the door, and now Draco and his goons are helping it, it's only a matter of time."

"Can't you just deal with Malfoy?" Ron asks.

"Only for a while, yes. But you guys need to be more careful."

"We only have one more until Christmas, It'll be fine.You coming to this time Jade?"

"No, I can't make it. But I want to go to the Patronus one."

"Why, is it Malfoy again? You two have been spending a lot of time together." Harry stares at me.

"We alway hang out Harry, that's what friends do. Get used to it."

"Well i've been watching the way he looks at you and-"

"And I don't want to know. Besides he isn't the reason i can't make it."

"Just be careful, remember that his dad was there last year. You know there's only a matter of time before-"

"Harry I think she's gathered that already, but Malfoy is still her friend. You don't see her bashing Ron all the time." Hermione defends me.

"Thanks." I smile. "I'll meet up with you guys after. Don't miss me too much"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Hello Professor." I state walking into the Potions room. "Enjoying Umbridge's presence lately?"

"Hmm... I'd like for us to go outside for this practice" He states walking back out the room.

"Why?" I ask, trying to keep up with him.

"For you to progress, you're going to need more space... And I don't want Professor Umbridge walking in."

I laugh, "Fairs."

...

We end up at an opening near the forest,"So you've only managed to make small sparks on command, is that correct?" I nod. "Well today, I want you to try make lightening bolts."

I stare at him dumbfounded.

 "I want you to aim for the sky and try not to start a fire." Snape warns. 

"Right."

"You did it with the Dragons."

"I mean kind of."

"Then don't doubt yourself. I'd start by using your emotions, it shall be easier. Something that makes you mad, sad, protective even."

"Are you going to read my mind?"

"No."

I nod, taking a deep breath. I try to think of something that make me mad... Umbridge. I shoot my hands up and a small spark shoots out.

"You need something more powerful, let it build up too." Snape states.

"Alright." I think of Umbridge again but than I picture her making Draco write lines and she's holding me back. I take a minute for the emotions to build up and then try again.

Lightening bolts shoot out both of my hands, forcing me to take a step back. I close my palms and they disappear.

"Excellent Miss Potter."

"Am I going to have to think of something every time I do that?"

"To begin with, yes. But if you were to use it... in a situation, that situation might be enough. We will try that next week. For now, I want you to do it again. Think of something different."

This time I replay Wormtail killing Cedric, I picture me using my powers to stop him. I feel warmth around my hands, looking down they all covered in electricity and smoke.

"The sky ,Potter." Snape warns me.

I breathe in a try picture Wormtail in the sky, before shooting my hands up. The bolts are bigger this time and thunder cracks.  Huffing, I try not to stumble back.

"Again." Snape states.

....

Im walking back to the common room feeling so drained, physically and emotionally. When someone appears making me jump.

"Darling, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's you."I wrap my arms around him, feeling tears roll down my cheek.  "Just tired. I was with Snape, practising."

"How did it go?" He ask, leading me to the dungeons.

I sniff, "Really well actually. It just took a lot... of emotion and stuff. We want outside and I created lightning bolts,  kinda crazy."

"Sound cool though."

"Yeah. Where have you been?"

"Prefect duty and um spying. We think your brother has a little club set up somewhere. Know anything about it?"

I run my tongue across my teeth, "Uh, no. Im part of the Umbitch Squad anyway."

"Yeah but this is you. You haven't just given in to the woman."

I look up at him and smile. "Maybe I have? Guess you'll never know."

"Definitely haven't" He kiss the top of my head. "And I will find out."
