Jade Potter and the Halfblood Prince

Chapter 9

Jade, Henry, Hermione, Ginny, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Slughorn were in the hospital wing looking at Ron.

"Quick thinking on your part Jade, using bezoar. You should be very proud of your student Horace." Dumbledore said.

"Ah yes, very proud." he said.

"I think we agree, Potter's actions were heroic. The question is, why were they necessary?" McGonagall said.

"I, indeed. This appears to be a gift Horace. You don't remember who gave you this bottle? By the way, it possesses remarkably subtle hints of liquorice and cherry. When not polluted with poison." Dumbledore said.

"Actually I had intended to give it as a gift myself." Slughorn said.

"To whom might I ask?"

"To you headmaster."

"Where is he? Where's my won-won? Has he been asking for me?" Astrid said.

Then she saw Hermione sitting next to him.

"What is she doing here?"

"I might ask you the same thing." Hermione said.

"I happen to be his girlfriend!"

"I happen to be his, friend." she said.

"Don't make me laugh! You haven't spoken to him in weeks. I suppose you want to make it up to him now that he's suddenly all interesting?"

"He's been poisoned you daft dumbo! And for the record, I've always found him interesting." Hermione said.

Then Ron started to mutter something.

"See? He senses my presents. Don't worry Won-Won, I'm here. I'm here." she said.

"Hermione. Hermione. Hermione." Ron continued to say.

Astrid started crying and ran away.

"Oh to be young and to feel love's keen sting. Well, come over, everybody. Mr. Weasley's well attended." Day said.

"About time, don't you think?" Ginny said.

Jade and Henry nodded.

"Thank you." Henry said to Madam Pumfrey.

"Shut up." Hermione said while Jade and Henry smirked at her.

The next day Jade, Pansy, Daphne, Blaise and Theo were sitting there eating some lunch when they heard something.

"Katie, how are you?" he asked.

"I know you're going to ask Henry. But I don't know who cursed me. I've been trying to remember, I just can't." Katie said.

"Katie."

Then Henry turned around and saw Malfoy.

Malfoy turned around and rushed to the bathroom.

Henry followed him quickly.

Jade watched him go and stood to go see Snape.

"Professor, I saw Draco going to the bathroom and Henry was following him for some reason." she said.

He stood up and hurried to the bathroom.
