Jade Potter and the Halfblood Prince

Chapter 3

The next day Jade saw Henry and Ron standing there laughing at first years a little thinking about their trouble looking for everything.

She and her friends have a free period to but were going to the library to study for their NEWTs. They all wanted to be aurors so they had potions next.

She stood there and listened.

"History of Magic is upstairs,

ladies, not down. Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis, that is the girls' lavatory." McGonagall said.

Then looked and saw Henry and Ron.

"Potter."

"Oh this can't be good." Henry said.

"Enjoying ourselves are we?" she asked.

"Oh I had a free period Professor." he said.

"So I noticed. I would think that you would want to use it with potions. Or do you wish to be an aurar?"

"Well Professor Snape wanted an outstanding." Henry said.

"You got an outstanding Mr. Potter. When Professor Snape was the teacher. As for Professor Slughorn he accepts students with just an Exceeds Expectations."

"Alright, good. Well we'll go there straight away." he said.

"Good, and Potter, take Mr. Weasley with you. He looks far too entertained."

So they headed to class.

When they were gone Jade headed to the library.

After studying they headed to potions.

A few days later Jade was on her way to Dumbledore's office.

When she got there she knocked on the door.

"Come in." Dumbledore said.

When she got inside Dumbledore smiled.

"Ah Jade you got my message."

She nodded.

"Enjoying your new classes?"

"Yes." she said.

"Professor Slughorn is most impressive."

"I think he overestimates my abilities sir." she said.

Then Dumbledore stood up and headed to get something.

"You must be wonderful why I summoned you here. The answer is this. These are memories of one person: Voldemort."

She stood there in shock.

"Or as he once was called, Tom Riddle."

Then he picked up a memory and looked at them.

"This vial has most sufficient memory." he started.

Jade waited.

"The day I first met him. I'd like you to see it."

So he poured the pensive into his memory holder and then they went inside.

He mounted the few steps leading to the front door and knocked once. After a moment or two, the door was opened by a girl wearing an apron.

"Good afternoon. I have an appointment with a Mrs. Cole."

"Oh, alright. Just a moment, MRS. COLE!" she bellowed over her shoulder.

She turned back to Dumbledore.

"Come in, she's on her way."

Dumbledore stepped into a hallway tiled in black and white. The whole place was shabby but very clean. When the front door had closed behind them, a skinny, harassed-looking woman came toward them. She had a sharp-featured face that appeared and was talking over her shoulder to another aproned helper as she walked toward Dumbledore.
