CHAPTER 21
Jaime entered Professor McGonagall's office, she was asked by the Headmistress to meet her in her office for a small talk, maybe Professor McGonagall will resume Jaime's lessons. Jaime walked inside the empty office, "Professor? Professor McGonagall?"

"Over here, Potter." Professor McGonagall called.

Jaime followed Professor McGonagall's voice and found the Headmistress by the portrait of Professor Dumbledoor. Professor McGongall was smiling as she observed the deceased Headmaster's portrait, while Dumbledoor smiled at her and Jaime, Dumbledoor nodded in Jaime's presence and gave her a proud and happy smile.

"Professor, you asked for me?" Jaime asked.

"Yes, yes..." Professor McGonagall said, "I've heard from Professor Kirkwood about your improvement in Alchemy."

"Professor?"

"After your holidays – once you come back to Hogwatrs, we will resume your lessons, Potter."

Jaime smiled and ran up to Professor McGonagall to give her a hug. Fazed with Jaime's sudden actions, Professor McGonagall hesitantly returned the gesture and patted Jaime at the back.

"Now, Potter, you must go back – I believe you still have classes to attend too." Professor McGonagall said.

"Yes, Professor." Jaime lets go of the Headmistress.

"I shall see you in Transfiguration." Professor McGonagall said.

"Of course... Professor... bye." Jaime left the Headmistress' office and ran through the busy halls of Hogwarts, she can't wait to tell Hermoine and Ginny and Harry! Jaime slammed to someone, causing her and the person she ran over to fall to the floor. Jaime groaned as she got up from the person's body, "I'm really sorry – I wasn't looking where I was going." Jaime apologized.

"Mind telling me why you're running in the halls, Jaime?" Draco groaned. Theodore watched in amusement as Draco and Jaime groaned in pain, he didn't even bother to help them up.

"Draco!" Jaime suddenly hugged Draco, Draco blushed in her sudden action, he even turned to Theodore for help, but Theodore was too busy laughing. "What's with the hugging?" Draco asked.

"Thank you so much!" Jaime said, then lets go of Draco, "Professor McGonagall is finally resuming our lessons!"

"That's great, Jaime." Draco said as he collected his and Jaime's scattered things. Jaime helped him and then got up. "Are you done laughing, Theodore?" Draco turned to Theodore, who was still trying to get some air.

"Just a second." Theodore said, "Never thought that a girl can actually knock you off your feet Draco – and it's Jaime!"

"And what does that mean?" Jaime asked, her arms crossed over her chest.

"You're practically smaller and lighter than Draco." Theodore chuckled, "You're such a wimp, Malfoy."

"Shut up." Draco said, "And come on, we still have class... we'll see you later, Jaime."

"See you later!" Jaime said as she took her books from Draco's hand. Draco and Theodore waved goodbye at Jaime then left for their first period, which was Potions with Slughorn. Jaime sighed happily then headed to her class, Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Wait, so McGonagall is actually resuming your lessons?" Ginny asked. Ennervate! Ginny jinxed Jaime's stunning spell, it was their Defense Against the Dark Arts and Challis was letting the class practice their non-verbal spells for the whole period.

"Yes, right after the holidays, we're starting again." Jaime said, Levicorpus!
Ginny then jinxed Jaime's Levicorpus.

"By the way, how's your lessons with Malfoy?" Ginny asked, she vomited a little when she mentioned Draco's last name.
