Jordan put her head in her hands and sighed deeply as she remembered all that had happen within the past few days. She had gone, insane. Okay, not literally but she was yelling at everyone who asked what was wrong with Katie, or tried to "help" her with her "problem." Truth, was...she didn't have a problem. She controlled every ounce of her "problem" and knew when to stop. But, with them yelling at her....she just didn't know what to do.
She didn't need people yelling at her at the moment. And she realized she needed to stop blaming herself for all this, but most of it was her fault. Most of it was her fault, and she was the only person who really understood why. No one would ever listen to her, they just sat there and yelled and tried to help someone who didn't need help. People kept asking her, "What would Katie do if she knew?" and, Jordan just couldn't answer truthfully. Because, she knew exactly what Katie would do...she would do the same thing. They wouldn't believe her if Jordan told them that, but Jordan knew Katie better than anyone.
Just then she realized she was in the middle of the road in Hogsmeade and she had to get out of the way. Hearing people yell at her to move she quickly dove out of the way of a carriage. She rolled in the snow and looked up at the sky as she stopped rolling. She raised her hand, and pulled down her sleeve, but quickly pulled it up when she saw someone she knew coming towards her.

Justin was sitting alone in Zonkos ,deep in thought. Though it was not one of his strong points he was thinking about why his parents were still mad. He then stood up after he had finished his butterbeer. He walked outside and went over to Zonko. As he entered he felt the warmth greet him. He saw a few friends ,but not many and said hi as they greeted him. He saw some new stuff ,but nothing compared to what Fred and George had made. He decided that he would buy some fireworks and left after he bought his purchases.
When he stepped out into the cold day he saw a girl in the road that he knew. It was Jordan Cortes and she was about to be run over by a carriage. He yelled aloud for her to jump or move or run. She jumped out of the way and rolled in the snow ,so he went over to check on her. As he wlked up he noticed that she quickly pulled up her sleeve. He kneeled beside her and said " Hey Jordan ,you okay? That was quite a tumble." He held out his hand to help her up.

Jordan looked up at Justin, took his hand greatfully, and pulled herself up. Once she was standing, she brushed some snow off her yellow jacket and managed a small smile.
"Yeah, the snow cushioned my fall. Were you the one who told me to get out of the way?" She asked, as she pulled her sleeves down over her frozen fingers. It was cold and she didn't have any gloves with her. Looking around she spotted the Three Broomsticks, and wondered if it was as busy as the night before.
"Let's go someplace where my limbs aren't frozen." She said, before he could answer. She amde her way to the Three Broomsticks, anticipating the warmth. As she opened the door, she smiled and shook slightly from the warmth.

Justin smiled and said " Yeah it was me." He then followed her over to the Three Broomsticks. He led the way to the booth and sid " Well Jodan what are you up to today? I'm hear just to walk around." Just then Madam Rosmerta walked over and Justin said " I'd like a butterbeer please and what would you like Jordan?" He was looking around the pub and sa that they were the only students there. At least it was as crowded as usual.

"Oh, um nothing thanks."Jordan said to Madame Rosmerta with a smile, she then turned to Justin. She did owe him an apology, and she knew this...but how does one say they are sorry for acting like a total jerk? She would have to ask Chris sometime, considering he did it nearly every day.
"I'm just...thinking. Lots to think about. Katie. My 'problem.' And how to apologize for my attitude the other day. I'm sorry I yelled at you. It's just everyone's been all up in my business. Asking me what happened, and all...I just, got sick of it. So, I'm sorry." She answered. She looked out the window and watched some littler kids having a snowball fight, they were so care-free.Why couldn't she be that way?

Justin smiled and said " It's ok I understand ,you do'nt have to apologise." He then looked at the fire and had a sudden thought. He grinned and said " Hey you wanna meet my brother and go snowboarding for the day? It'd be an easy way of forgetting about your problems for a little while and it would finaly make my brother believe that I have been meeting my friends and not avoiding meeting his girlfriend. So how 'bout it?" He said this all hopefully and cheerily.

Jordan smiled a laughing smile, something she hadn't done in ages, and shook her head.
"Me?Snowboard? Justin, I can bearly walk right...what makes you think I can snowboard?" Jordan laughed. She then tugged at her sleeve. Anything was better then a blade, she thought.
"Okay, let's go." She said with a smile. She pulled her hair back out of her eyes took one look outside the window at the little kids. Maybe she could be like that...it'll just take time.

Justin beamed at Jordan and gave a laugh at her joke he then said " Do you have everything? Good follow me." He led her to the fireplace and said " Grab a pinch of floo powder and say " Jay Lionhearts Cabin in Weinig Zug. You got it down?" he was still beaming ,finally one of his friends could have some fun with him and his brother would finally believe that he was'nt trying to avoid his girlfriend and her sister. He still had'nt met them. He waited for Jordan to go first.

Jordan tucked some hair behind her ear, took a pinch of the floo powder, and stepped into the fireplace.
"Jay Lionheart's Cabin in Weinig Zug." She said clearly. But, before she could finish she was wisked away. Passing fireplaces, and houses. Great, she thought, MY jacket's going to get all sooty. Finally she stopped and was spit out of a fireplace in a cabin.
"Oi!" She said as she crashed into a wall. She stood up and brushed the soot off, not bad...but, as good as it was going to get.

Justin watched as Jordan dissappeared into the fire and Justin the grabbed him some floo powder ,threw it in the fire and said " Jay Lionhearts Cabin ,Weing Zug." he felt the usual feeling when traveling by floo powder and finally reached his brothers cabin and stepped out. He brushed himself off and wlked over to Jordan ,just as his brother walked in. Justin said " Hey Jay this is my friend Jordan Cortes ,Jordan this is my brother Jay Lionheart." His brother said " Nice to meet you Jordan and Justin said " Wait right here while I get the extra snowboarding outfit. He ran into his room and grabbed his extra borad and then went into the closet and grabbed the extra girls out fit and said " Here you go Jordan ,you can put it on in my room and I'll change in my brothers room." He grabbed his suit and his board and led Jordan to his room. His room had been designed like his one back in Texas and had snowboards on the wall and a couple of posters. He then went to his brothers room and changed.

Jordan looked up and smiled at Jay.
"Hi." She said, as Justin ran off. He came back, handed her a suit and told her where to change. With a nod she entered the room, closed the door and pulled up her sleeve. THe cuts were healing, but only just. She then finished changing and stuffed her clothes in her shoulderbag. Fixing her hair into a pony tail, she left the room.

Jordan sighed and followed Justin as she began wondering how in the world she was going to snowboard. She had never touched the thing in her life! And here she was just willing to try it...something had gotten into her.
"Now, if I die. I leave all my things to Katie." She said in a joking tone. She knew she would fall, it was something that was just bound to happen.

Justin laughed and said "Do'nt worry ,this is just a baby hill. If you were experienced I would take you over there." He pointed over to the sloped that said Mad Skills. He then said " Hey look over there." He pointed at a doe and it's fawn and said " Do you know what they're called?"

"Baby hill? Are you serious?! I can still die on this thing.." She exclaimed with amusement. She then laughed at her fright, and turned to look where he was pointing. He then asked if she knew what they were called. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
"Deer?" She asked, with that sort of 'duh' tone in her voice she gets when she is asked a stupid question. She smiled then and looked again. Where was her sketchbook? Oh, yeah, at home with all her other art supplies. Oi,she thought.

Justin sort of had a bemused smile on his face. He said "You wo'nt die ,unless of course you happen to hit a tree ,then you might be knocked unconcious." He then decided to correct what he had said about the deer. So he said " Well of course they're deer ,but do you know what they are, like a male deer is a buck." Justin then pointed at the bigger one and said " That's a doe and the other is a fawn." He then continued on the way up the path. He reached the top and said " Well do you want to go to the pro shop first , or go over to that cafe and get something hot to drink or snowborad?" He flashed a smile and waited to hear her input.

Jordan tilted her head in that sort of annoying way she did when she got agitated or was just plain bewildered. He then explained what he meant and Jordan smiled as she shook her head.
"Oh, well, yes I did know that. Anyway, let's see what to do first...hmm pro shop, cafe, or dying? So hard of a choice. How 'bout we go in order, then I can die last and say I was too chicken to die first because I wanted coffee. Sound good?" Jordan said with a smile. She was enjoying herself, even if it was blistering cold. Jordan put her arm behind her back, and reached her fingers up for her hair to twirl around her index finger. It was nasty habit that she knew she should break, but it never really ceased. She usually did it when she was anxious or just nervous, in this case it was anxiety.

Justin grinned and said " With that attitude ,what do you have to lose and besides that the oly way yo can die is if you were to not be surrounded by wizards and witches." He looked down the slopes just in time to see a kid go face first into a pine tree and then what was more all the snow that was on the tree fell on the kid. He laughed a little and said "Did you see that? Man that had to suck. Anyways ,lets get a move on." He then led the way over to the pro shop and held the door open.

Jordan smiled and shook her head, as if to say "If you say so." She then watched as someone ran straight into a tree and got covered in snow. She laughed lightly and looked at Justin.
"Trust me. I will do much worse." She said as they walked down the path to the pro. shop. Her eyes wandered around a bit and she looked, seeing many artisitic points of the place in which they were at. If only she had her sketchbook. She stepped inside and didn't leave her artisitc eye outside, she continued to see things from a point where she could draw it.
