Thank you fantasyluver714, awesomeami316, IrisstoneHPfan and Tayler Snape13 for reviewing you guys are the best. Here is the next chapter.

After visiting my dad, I have to say I felt much better. By the time we got there he was awake and strong. The healers were happy with his progress and he would be out of hospital in a week, just before Christmas. I feel stupid for worrying, he is strong. I should have listened to James. Dad said I'm not to worry so much, what happens happens and there is nothing anyone can do about it but let life take its course.

My friends were glad to hear dad was alright. We stayed up all that night talking about what we would do over our free two weeks. We even cornered lily about James. It's funny, to watch her blush and deny everything.

It's Wednesday and we are going to Diagon Alley to meet up with frank. I wake up at eleven. I'm not a morning person to say the least. I quickly shower and pull on a pair of skinny jeans and long sleeved red top. Everyone else is ready and had breakfast surprize surprize. I run down stairs quickly hoping there is time for breakfast.

My room looks much like our dormitory room at Hogwarts. There is now 4 beds in my room and we all have our own space. Lily's is completely tidy, Alice comes in a close second, Hestia's is kind of messy and mine is a complete square of untidiness. My bed is not made, there are clothes everywhere and I still have to unpack my trunk. I'm really am just lazy.

"Emma hurry up its 12 o'clock and frank will be waiting." Alice said in a worried tone, she is probably thinking about her boyfriend waiting all alone. It's not my fault no one woke me up.

"Why don't we leave now and Emma can leave with Sirius in an hour." James suggests. James and his friends decided to come with us to Diagon Alley as to pick us supplies, which probably means they have a prank lined up.

I don't mind going with Sirius but how are we supposed to get there if mum is bringing them. James must have known what I was thing as he answers. "Sirius can apparate."

"Since when?" Lily questioned

"His birthday in October." James replied

"I didn't know his birthday was in October." Quite frankly I didn't know when his birthday was until now. I feel kind of bad. "Is he even up yet?"

"If you happen to be talking about me then yes I am up." Sirius smiled from the door. He walks over and takes a seat beside me at the table. He grabs a slice of my toast and takes a bit out of it. "thanks." He winks.

"It's not nice to grab or take what isn't yours." I take the slice that now is half on his mouth out and take a bit myself. It's not long before we notice everybody has left and it's only us two. "How come you didn't tell me it was your birthday?"

"I didn't tell anyone, the only people who know are my family, who don't count, and James, Remus and Peter."

"Well happy late birthday." I smile.

"Don't I get a present with that?" He teased.

"Let's not forget who ate all my sugar quills while I was in the hospital wing."

"Fine, but I want an extra good Christmas present." He grins.

I stand up and head for the door so we can leave. "Who said I am even getting you a Christmas present?" he just continues to grin before getting up and following me out the door.

By the time we get to the leaky cauldron everyone is gone, clearly not patient enough to wait. Sirius and I decide to have a look around Diagon alley while we wait for our friends to find us. Yes we decided we would let them find us not the other way round.

First we go to Flourish and Blotts, I have to practically drag Sirius in but I know it is the best place to get something for Lily. I scan through the books until finally I find one I know Lily will love.

"Here is a book on boggarts." Sirius says. "Didn't you use to be afraid of one under your bed?" he smirks. I can't believe James told him that.

"James told me there was when we were six and I use to believe everything he said back then." I hit him in the shoulder playful as he laughs at my embarrassment.

After that I get lily some sugar quills, which I know are her favourite, to go with her book, I get Hestia a 6 month subscription to witch weekly as I know her old one is up and I get Alice a hat, gloves and scarf which all match a nice coat I bought in Twilfitt and Tatting's. I also I get Remus a book and lots of chocolate frogs and Peter a year supply of chocolate. That leaves James and Sirius.

"Emma, where have you been, its three o'clock." Lily shouts from a shop door as she spots Sirius and I walking done the street.

"Just doing a little Christmas shopping."I say holding up the bags in my hand.

"Sirius, the guys are in Gambol and Japes Wizarding Joke Shop." She waves him off. "Emma what will I get your brother?" she looks so worried.

"Lily I don't think it matters once it comes from you."

"Thanks."

We decide to go to Quality Quidditch Supplies, as if there is something to get my brother it's in there. I look around trying to find something for James and Sirius. In the end I buy the beaters bat I saw Sirius looking at earlier and get his name engraved on it as well as knight in shining armour as a joke. I get my brother a self-servicing broom kit and a book on quidditch tactics and tricks. I know he doesn't read but he will read anything if it's about quidditch. i get James new quidditch robes.

At five we meet up with Alice and Frank, who wanted to go for a walk pfft more like a snog, in the leaky cauldron. We all sit down at a table and ordered drinks off the bartender and owner tom. Later James, Sirius, Remus and Peter join us. We all laugh and talk until it's time to go. We say our goodbyes to Frank and meet mum outside.

Up in my room we all wrap our presents back to back so no one see what they got. "Emma what's going on between you and Sirius, it didn't look like you were trying to find us at all." Hestia questions

"We decided we'd let you find us and there is nothing going on we are just friends."

"Yeah yeah if you say so. Alice we have in denial lily over there and now in denial Emma." They both laugh as lily and I both look furious.

"I don't know what you are referring do by in denial but I'll have you know I am not in denial about James potter."

"How did you know I was talking about James?" Hestia asks

"Lils she has you there." Alice laughs.

"Fine I may have a small crush on James." Lily whispers. Did lily just say she likes my brother?

"It's a miracle. I can't wait to see James' face." I rejoice, as i stand up to go tell him.

"No you can't tell him. You have to wait till I'm ready."

"One down, one to go." Hestia turns around to look at me. "Anything you want to confess Emma?"

"Will you drop it, if I did which I'm not saying I do, I would tell him before I tell you. No offense Hestia but if I told you first he would probably know with in twenty minutes." I laugh.

"I can't help myself it just comes out." She laughs too.

"Did Lily Evans just say she likes me?" James asks. The marauders decided we would prank the girls but were stopped in our prank by overhearing there conversation.

"Well done mate, you finally got the love of your life to love you back." I clap him on the shoulder.

"I have to ask her on a date and it has to be really special." He starts to get flustered.

"So the answer to my question isn't a no." I hear Hestia's voice.

"No it's not a no." Emma's sweet voice comes from behind the door.

It's not a no to what? Why did we have to be talking?

Hope you enjoyed it. Please review and tell me what you think.
