Jade Potter and the Halfblood Prince

Chapter 6

Sure enough it was the first game of the year.

While the game went on Ron wasn't getting every ball away from the goal hoops blocked. Aden was though.

Jade looked around for the snitch and watched him.

The Slytherins yelling Aden's name over and over again.

"YEAH! WHOA! YEAH!" Aden yelled.

When the game was over they were all cheering Aden's name.

"Malfoy! Malfoy! Malfoy!"

The next day the six Slytherins were in the library talking about the Christmas party Slughorn was having.

"Have you got a date?" Jade asked Pansy.

"Yes. Why?" she said.

"No, you?" she asked.

"Yes, Theo is coming with me."

They looked at Theo who shrugged.

"Why not? Besides, it's as friends." he said.

Later that night Jade and Theo were on their way to the party.

When they got there they saw Neville appeared with a drink at Henry and Luna.

"Drink?" he asked.

"Neville!" Henry said.

"He's going with Lovegood?" Theo said.

Jade snickered.

"That's just sad. She's nice and everything but still." she said.

Then they saw Hermione going behind a curtain.

A few seconds later Snape appeared.

"Potter, this is from Professor Dumbledore saying he wishes you two a happy Christmas. He's traveling now."

"Traveling where?" she asked.

Then Snape was interrupted by someone.

"Get your hand off me you squib!" Malfoy said.

"Professor Slughorn sir. I just discovered this boy lurking in the upstairs corridor. He claims to be invited to your party." Filch said.

"OK OK I was gate-crossing happy?" Malfoy said.

"I'll, escort him out." Snape said.

"Certainly, Professor." he said pulling his arm off Filch.

"Alright everyone, carry on, carry on." Slughorn said.

Jade looked at Theo.

"I just want to know what exactly he did." she said.

"I'll go with you then we can come back alright?" he said.

She nodded and then they followed Snape and Malfoy.

"Maybe I did hex that Bell girl. Maybe I didn't. What about you?" Malfoy said.

"I swore to protect you. I made the Unbreakable Vow!" Snape said.

"I don't need protection. I was chosen for this. This is my moment!"

Jade looked at Theo.

"An unbreakable vow?" they said together.
