-Happy memories-

"Hello sir, hope im not interrupting anything." I say, walking into Professor Lupin's classroom.

"No, no. Just setting up for my next class."

"Okay, good because something happened." He turns his attention to me. "At the Quidditch match, when Harry was falling out the sky I was trying to reach for him and a hand of smoke appeared and grabbed him because I was too far away."

"Smoke?"

"Yes, it looked like the kind my boggart had except it grabbed Harry, I don't know how that's possible?."

"Do you think you could produce it now?"

I look down at my hands and focus really hard but nothing happens. "oh well, um i could draw it for you."

"Yes.. let's start there." He nods, handing me parchment and I draw out what happens.

"You see, the smoke actually looked like a hand" I point. "Do you think that just because I needed to grab it."

"Quite possible, yes. By the looks of it, your power will come in small sparks to begin with... as long as you keep tabs on it there is honestly nothing to worry about."

"Okay, cool." I nod.

"Oh also Jade, Im teaching Harry how to protect himself against Dementors after Christmas, it might be useful for you to come along, if you want." 

"Yeah that would be great actually."

"Perfect, well have a nice Christmas."

"You too sir." I smile before leaving the classroom.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Harry. Jade, good of you to join us. Now are you sure about this? This is very advanced magic well beyond the Ordinary Wizarding Level." Lupin explains. 

"Im sure."

"Me too."

"Well, everything's prepared. Now the spell im going to teach you is called the Patronus Charm. Did you ever hear of it?"

We both shake our heads

"No? Well... A Patronus is a positive force. For the wizard or witch who conjures one it works something like a shield, with the dementor feeding on it rather than him or her. But in order for it to work, you need to think of a memory. Not just any memory, a very happy memory, a very powerful memory. Can you two do this?"

We nod.

"Yes. Very well. Close your eyes. Concentrate. Explore your past. Do you have a memory?"

"Yea."

"Allow it to fill you up. Lose yourself within it. Then speak the incantation, Expecto Patronum. Harry you go first."

"Expecto Patronum."

"Very good, Jade?"

"Expecto Patronum."

"Excellent. Now shall we? Wand at the ready Harry." Lupin stands by the box as I step aside, watching him. A dementor comes out of it and Harry yells, "Expecto Patronum. Expecto ... Expecto." Nothing happens and he starts to get weaker.

"Jade." Lupin nods as Harry starts to fall. I take a deep breath before pointing the wand at the Dementor, "Expecto Patronum!"

A stream of light comes out my wand, pushing against the dementor until he gets back into the box.

"Well done, Jade." Lupin laughs. "That was quite remarkable."

I chuckle before looking down at Harry. "Thanks. Poor Harry though."

"Yes,  I was expecting that to happen to at least one of you, seem like he drew the short straw again." Lupin states as he kneels down by him  "Here we go. Come on, sit up. Deep breathes. It's all right, most people don't do it the first time. Here, eat this. You'll feel better." He hands Harry some chocolate.

"That's one nasty dementor."

"oh, no, no, no. That was a boggart, Harry. A boggart. The real thing would be worse. Much, much worse."

"Oh great." i sigh.

"Did you manage Jade?" Harry asks while standing up.

"Slightly." I say, grabbing his elbow as he wobbles.

"Ah yes, it was quite impressive Jade. As a matter of interest what were you two thinking?" Lupin asks and I look at Harry to answer first.

"The first time I rode a broom."

"That's not good enough. Not nearly good enough. You, jade?"

"Umm when Draco and I decided to become best friends." I look over at Harry cautiously.

"That's your happiest memory?" He asks.

"Well, ignore who the person is Harry but it was the feeling of finally having friends, after all those years alone at the Dursley's. You know what I mean?"

"Yeah I guess so... the fact it has to be Malfoy sucks though."

"Well, deal with it." I shrug. "Do you have another memory?"

"Yes. It's not happy, exactly. Well, it is. It's the happiest I've ever felt but it's complicated."

"Is it strong?" Lupin asks and Harry nods.  "Then let's give it a try. You feel ready?"

"Just do it." Harry states confidently pointing his wand. The dementor-boggart appears again and Harry yells, "Expecto Patronum. Expecto Patronum.!" A white beam shoots out his wand, just like what happened with me.

"Well done Harry!" Lupin cheers.

"I think i've had enough for today."

"Yes. Sit down." Lupin states handing him more chocolate.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

We're in divination again and I can feel myself drifting asleep. 

"Broaden your minds. You must look beyond. The art of crystal gazing is in the clearing of the Inner Eye. Only than can you see. Try again...."

"Hey." I nudge Draco. " I heard you got Buckbeak sentenced to death? Really? Couldn't you of just sent him away or something."

"The animal attacked me Jade. It's either that or Hagrid can get fired."

"You're awful sometimes."

Draco stares at the glass ball before tapping it. "Well I just don't think he should be allowed to get away with it."

"Whatever."

"It's happening this evening, you coming to watch?"

"Do I have a choice?" I snark as a  ball rolls onto the ground,  I look up to see Hermione storming out the class.

"Oh my gosh, Trelawney has gone and cracked Hermione." I grin.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Draco. Binoculars really?  This is awful, how can you watch this. Poor Buckbeak, you still have time to stop this." I complain as we look down on Hagrid's hut.

"No. It'll teach that oaf a lesson. Plus Father said I can keep the Hippogriff's head. I'll donate it to the Gryffindor's common room."

"Oaf? Don't call Hagrid that. Honestly Draco that's-" I start but Goyle interrupts me "Look who's here." I spin around spotting the Golden trio.

"Ahh come to see the show?" Draco teases .

"You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" Hermione points her wand at Draco's next.

"Hermione, no! He's not worth it." Ron tells us as Draco starts sobbing.

"Don't be pathetic Draco." I roll my eyes, Hermione turns to leave and he starts laughing. In a split second she turns back round punching him right in the nose. I cringe at the sound of it cracking.

"Malfoy, are you okay?" Goyle asks. "Let's go." They run off. "Not a word to anyone."

"That was a clean hit, Hermione. Im impressed." I smile.

"Thanks."

"Also I tried to get him to change his mind. Sorry but." I shake my head, before following the three idiots.

"Draco!" I call after him, he stops holding his nose. "What! come to laugh at me."

"Sort of..." I look at the other two. "Um you guys can leave. Shoo" They walk off leaving the two of us alone, I point my wand at Draco's nose.

"What are you doing?" He panics.

"Hold still...Episkey." I state and hear his nose click back into place. He groans in pain. "Now no one will know that you just got punched."

"Yeah by a mudbl-" I slap my hand across his mouth.

"Don't. Why are you being so horrible today?" He looks down and i hear him mumble something. "What was that? hmm?"

"Im sorry, okay-"

I smile "Draco Malfoy apologising? Maybe Hermione knocked some sense into you."

"Shut up. I swear if you tell anyone-" He pushes me against the wall.

"That you're a big softie sometimes. " I tease.

"Jade." He warns.

"Everyone. Draco Malfoy is a big old softie." I say a little louder.

"Be quiet." He wraps his hand around my wrists, standing closer to me. I look up and down at my wrists and him.

"Sorry." He lets go but doesn't step back. I smirk and whisper "Softie."

He just rolls his eyes. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about Draco. It's cute." I tease.

"Stop calling me  cute too!"

"But it's true." I grin biting my bottom lip. I watch him glance down at it before leaning in slightly. 

"Can't you think of another adjective?" He whispers.

"Nope. Draco Malfoy, a cutie, a softie and cares more than he'll let on." I poke his chest.

"That's not true!"

"Really?" I tilt my head up and our noses are almost touching.

"Really." He looks down at my lips again and gulps.  "Also you know I car- care. "

"You care enough that im your boggart, which means..."  I whisper, leaning closer.

"So what? It's- it's not... It doesn't mean..."

"It doesn't mean what?"

He huffs, "I was going to say it doesn't mean anything."

"But that a lie?"  I wrap my arm around his neck.

"Yeah." He mumbles against my lips, " A big one. You're the-"  I cut him off by closing the gap between us. The kiss was soft and sweet but it didn't last long as someone clears their throat behind Draco. I pull back and spot Professor Lupin.

"Um, hello Professor." I cough awkwardly.

"Miss Potter I need you to come with me, as for you Mr Malfoy, I assume you have homework that needs doing?"

"No."

"Draco, it's fine." I wave him to leave before following Professor Lupin.

A/N hehehe. The romance begins... slow(ish) burn cause they're still young...
