*To Draco, in the kitchens* I'll be back soon. *Floos to Hagrids house and steps out in time to hear Jade saying things out loud*
G - Jade...*brings the surfboard inland via her wand* Jadie...You can't protect me from Life. We're not always going to be there to protect each other. And you don't have to protect me from Draco. I swear to you. Do you trust me?
J - *nods slowly, still sniffling* Yeah...I guess I do.
G - Then trust me on this. I know Draco like no other. There's nothing to fear from him. Besides...You're not breaking your promise. I swear. You're only fighting me about something that neither of us can change. So let's just put it behind us and give Draco a chance to prove he's not the person you think he is...Besides...there's someone under that tree who wants to see you.
*The sisters hug and walk arm in arm over to Harry*

*Jade and Gumi walk over to Harry under the tree*
Harry- *sees Jade's puffy, red, tear stained face* Jade, you look-
Jade- Don't you say it.
Harry- I was gonna say, you look, human, I think this is the first time I've seen you cry.... ever.
Jade- And if I had my way, it wouldn't have ever come up.
Harry- What's so wrong about crying?
Jade- I'm the tough one, ok? I'm not allowed to cry. I can't show emotion. Because then, I'll be seen as, weak.

Har - That’s ridiculous, Love. It really is.
J - But it’s the way I’ve always been.
G - Just like I’ve always been the bookish, quiet one. *giggles * Jade used to call me a doormat, cause I let everyone walk all over me. But really, it was that I was gathering dirt for blackmail later.
Har - You sound like a Slytherin.
G - *Thoughtfully * that’s funny…The Sorting Hat almost put me in Slytherin. It was only when it saw that I had the guts to say “No, I won’t go” that it put me in Gryffindor. It had a really hard time with Sorting me right.
J - So come on…Let’s go. Toast isn’t a lot, you know.
G - Then let’s go get something to eat.
~IN the Kitchens~
*Gumi shushes Harry and Jade, opening the door to the kitchens and pointing someone out to them. It is Draco Malfoy, wearing a frilly pink apron over his Slytherin Robes, cooking some Crepe Suzette. Jade looks at Gumi* How did he know my favorite food?
G - I told him. And we’ll all be eating the same thing. Out of the same pan. So nothing can happen to us. *walks over and pulls a bottle of brandy from a cupboard, setting the crepes on fire after they’d been flipped the last time. Draco kisses her cheek and smiles at her, obviously not knowing that they’re being watched*
D - I love you…
G - You’re silly.
*Jade and Harry sit down at a small table covered with a white tablecloth, set with Roses for Jade and Kagumi and a floral arrangement in the center. Goblets and pumpkin juice, as well as Butterbeers, sit along the table, along with four plates and cutlery*

Jade- *stands along wall* *mixtured look on face*
Gumi- Honey, what's up?
Jade- *talks with teeth clenched* I'm trying not to cry again. I'm not allowed to cry.
Draco- What? Since when are you not allowed to cry?
Gumi- She thinks she's not allowed to cry because then she says she'll be seen as weak.
Draco- *looks back at Jade* Since when have you ever been weak? You weren't weak when I pushed you into the well, which I'm sorry for by the way. You couldv'e let yourself drown, but you didn't. You kept yourself afloat for three days.
Jade- Well, someone has to look after her, and if I let myself drown, I wouldn't be there.
Harry- Jade, sweetie, it's not bad to cry. I think everyone has to cry once in a while otherwise, you end up, well, like Snape.
Jade- *to Harry* Just because I don't cry, doesn't mean I'm gonna stop bathing and grow a hooked nose.

*Walks along all day not saying anything, thinking about what was learned* *Talks quietly to self* Well, he has seemed to have gotten quieter, and slightly nicer. Everyone has someone they can't stand and will be nasty to them only. But who uses arranged marriages anymore?.... ((i can't be on as often as you guys...for all that i seem to be on a lot))

(Self-advertisements suck...)
ATTENTION!

Ignore this message and we shall get back to the stories. Terribly sorry about interrupting, but I'm utterly bored and comissions (such as banners for gaia gold. The amount of gold charged will depend on the complexity of the banner) always help pass the time.
EDIT: I will not be taking gold! No profit is going to be gained from this excursion at ALL.

BACK TO THE STORY!
*Draco and Gumi laugh at that for a good five minutes, even many of the House-Elves are laughing*
G - Whoo…*wipes tears from eyes* Ah…good comeback, sis. I can say that for you.
D - *still trying not to laugh* Alright. I give up. That was pretty humorous.
Har - *still laughing*
*there is a hush as the door opens and Professor Severus Snape walks in, yawning. He stops when he sees the four students. Harry snorts behind his hands; Draco is the next one to lose it and begins to chuckle quietly. Kagumi is next, trying to stem the short bursts of giggles that keep issuing themselves from her mouth. Jade is the last to crack, and finally the four of them are laughing so hard that Kagumi is banging on the table, Harry and Jade crying in each other’s arms and Draco bent over double against the wall, laughing so hard that he’s beginning to get winded.*
S - Uh…*turns and walks out, wondering vaguely if there is a nest of Billywigs in the castle somewhere*

*everyone still laughing*
Harry- Do you think he knew?
Gumi- I doubt it. Most stuff goes right over his head.
Jade- His greasy head. Did you see his hair? He looked almost like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals.

D - More like he stuck his head in one of those...what do you call 'em? Muggle deep-fryers
*And of course, this sets off a whole new round of laughter, lasting so long that the House-Elves have to keep the food warm enough to eat...*
G - Come on...let's eat already. its's...*looks at watch* Merlin's Robes, it's noon almost! *she brings the plates around, each with a slice of fruit of the diner's choice along with some Butterbeer and Pumpkin juice, respectively*

Jade- *looks at food* I'm not really hungry. If it's all the same, I think I'll just drink some butterbeer.
Gumi and Harry- Why aren't you hungry?
Jade- I just got done sobbing. When I get like that, I don't eat. *takes butterbeer bottle, takes off cap and sips it*

G - *glares at Jade and whispers in her ear* You just don't trust the food...*digs into her own plate, as does Draco and Harry, occasionally getting up to make more crepes for the boys*

G - *shrugs* I was just kidding...usually she can tell...Wonder if she's PMSing...might explain all the sudden mood swings. *thoughtfully eats another bite of her crepes and takes a swig of Butterbeer*
D - I don't know, Sweet.
G - *idea* Kady! *a female house-elf appears and bows*
K - Yes, Miss Pheonix?
G - Go find my sister and tell her to get her PMSing bum back down here, and that I was just kidding. And my orders are to say exactly those words. Do not rephrase it, please. *The Elf disappears with a small pop and Gumi leans back in her chair*

Jade- *sitting on floor across from Room Of Requirement, silently crying*
Kady- *pops up in front of her* Miss Jade? If there something that Kady can help you with? *gives Jade a tissue*
Jade- I don't think so, Kady. *takes tissue* Thanks. What are you doing up here?
Kady- Miss Jade's sister has ordered me to give you an exact message.
Jade- That being?
Kady- The message I am to give is this: Get your PMSing bum back down here, and that I was just kidding.
Jade- Well, Kady, tell her that I said this: I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request, and if you wants to have further inquiries with me today, you may find me quenching my buyers thirst in the village. *gets up and walks away*
