I am really sorry for this late update but I was really very busy and had an important work. But now on I would try to update as soon as I could.

So here is the new chapter. Thanks to MrsBates93 for editing.

Chapter 11: He Is Trouble

Five days.

It's been five fucking days since I was banned from working and any outings.

Wow.

I was dying for some fresh air and some excitement but when you had people watching over you like a hawk and restricting what you could do then what could say did I have?

Well, I suffered and took everything that was thrown at me. I couldn't fight them.

Why you might ask?

If you had met my mum, you would know how scary she could be when she got in her Mama Bear role and her wrath was like hell. It would have been easier to persuade her if she didn't have her back up.

Angie and Ginny.

They both supported my mum and the lectures I got from them were very painful. When I woke up, I was surprised to see so many people, everyone was here. Weasleys and soon to be Weasleys, mum and dad, Scamanders (Louis and Lorcan) hell even Scorpius was here. I thought they were all here to see how I was, which they were. Have you heard the famous saying?

What they did before sacrificing poor sheep?

Well they fatten them up.

So, firstly I was given food and everyone told me how worried they were about me. My mum hugged me tightly and told me how worried she was, I felt really bad and then BAM she slapped me. I was shocked and then I was scolded before everyone came and told me how disappointed they were that I was not taking care of myself.

And all this time, he stood in the corner watching and smirking at me. I wanted to kill him with my bare hands and if I had the strength I would have done.

If you had any doubt then I was talking about Potter.

Poor Charlie was not barred from this but I was as it was my fault, so I listened to everything they had to say with my head down. After they had finished, I was treat like I was five.

-I couldn't go to my apartment.

-I would be given healthy food to eat.

-I would be given first preference.

Wow, you might be thinking this was superb.

Now, hear the cons.

-I had to drink a disgusting potion.

-I wasn't allowed to go out.

-I was told off like a thousand times daily.

- My friends laughed at me for being so stupid.

And the worst of all,

- I would be seeing him daily.

I didn't even know why he was living here after so many months of not being around.

But today is the best day because, I was allowed to go home yesterday and most importantly; I am going back to work today.

Doesn't it feel good to go back to work?

You would think so too, if you were stuck at home for a week.

I was so happy and bouncing with excitement that even Shelly was looking at me like I was crazy.

"Good Morning, Shelly. How are you on this fine morning?"

To say that she was shocked would have been an understatement but I was feeling like I had escaped Azkaban.

"Fine, what happened to you?" she asked with her wide eyes and a small smile on her face. She knew I was not a morning person and hated that I had to wake up so early, even though I loved my job but watching me like this surprised her.

"I am feeling like a young bird ready to fly without any restrictions, like water which has been stopped by a dam, like a hunger finally being assuaged."

"Like an idiot given a brain," Amy remarked, smirking and coming to hand me today's schedule.

"Good morning to you too, sexy," I teased her.

"Ha ha, very funny you should be in the circus," she scoffed and started to look around the counter.

"No flowers today for you, Miss Boot," Shelly told her and this made me raise my eyebrows.

Flowers.

Who the hell was sending her flowers?

"Flowers?" I questioned, wanting to know who her secret admirer was.

"No one," Amy said and Shelly snickered but shut up when Amy glared at her.

What?

"What?" I asked, I was clearly in the dark about something.

"C'mon," Amy said and dragged me to the studio before going through my schedule with me.

"You're back, so I think you are going to start the show and then we will go with the news," Amy started; I knew what she was trying to change the subject.

She was sneaky, but I was a bitch.

"Who is he?" I asked her and she continued her rant and ignored me as if I hadn't said anything.

There was always other ways to find out her secret.

I groaned when I saw Shawn's smiling face.

Fuck me.

"Hello, Ciara. It's so nice to see you after your recovery. How are you feeling?" He asked, taking my hand and shaking it.

I wiped all the sweat off his hand on my pants.

Merlin!

At least he didn't hug me.

Phew.

"I am feeling perfectly fine," I replied and started to rummage in my bag so that I didn't have to talk to him. He is a sweet guy but just very clingy. You know the guy who doesn't understand that no means no.

"Good morning, guys, I am back with a bang. I know you all missed me and I totally missed you too but don't worry because your favourite Jordan is back. Sorry dad, you know I love you but I am their favourite," I joked with a big smile on my face knowing my father would be grinning like an idiot and shaking his head hearing this.

"Well, this is a fine morning, a morning to start afresh, a morning of bright colours and delicious aromas."

I heard someone groan behind me.

At least, she knew what I was going to do. It wasn't difficult to know where I was going with this morning thing.

I continued, "a morning of red roses. Yes guys, it is the morning of sending some beautiful girl who you like a boutique of red roses. Red roses emphasises your love for someone special. So if you guys have someone special in your life, then don't wait for Valentine's Day and just send them now. And if you have sent someone named Amelia some flowers, then call me and tell me your name. I would love to know who is going after the Boot and now let's start the show with a beautiful song called Gotta Find You."

I turned to Amy grinning from head to toe, facing her killing glare and laughing out loud.

"Wow. Red bull stop before you kill someone," I teased her and chuckled.

Wrong move.

She came pushing past Shelly and I jumped behind Shawn's chair to stop her from getting any closer.

"You're dead," she threatened me and we circled each other, with only a chair and Shawn between us.

"Holmes, fuck off!" she spat at him and he started to retreat. I held his shoulders and stopped him from moving.

"No, you don't. It's not my fault that you didn't tell me, so I thought of something else, and it was a fucking brilliant idea."

Just then our line started beeping.

"See," I said, pointing to the call as I continued, "we haven't started the call session and so many people are dying to call." I laughed and she moved for me and I moved in sync with her.

"Shelly take her, sweetheart we don't have time. The song is going to end soon," I said.

She huffed and started breathing to calm down.

Her silly yoga technique.

I sat on the chair and readjusted my microphone.

"So, what I was saying about flowers?"

It was fucking hilarious at the time but when Amy got to me, she started smacking me with the schedule.

I never thought a simple bundle of paper could hurt so much.

"You're an ass," she said sitting on her office chair and I was sitting in front of her table and spinning the paper holder. I always liked rolling them; they just fascinated me and I didn't even know why.

"Aw... but I'm your ass," I laughed. "Sorry that came out wrong. I'm not as hot as that one," I added, pointing towards her ass and this time her mouth twitched upwards.

Progress.

Before I could say anything else, Shelly knocked on the door. We both turned to her and she cleared her throat.

"C, someone is here for you," Amy raised her eyebrows as Shelly continued "a girl." That girl is waiting for me to start dating someone and when that day comes, she will give free beers to everyone.

"Coming," I said and with that I moved to the reception and looked at a tiny familiar figure standing with Shelly.

"C," her super excited voice sounding like bells said as she smiled at me before throwing her arms around me.

"Emma Creevey! Why the hell you have never called me?" I asked her with a stern voice and she blushed.

Ah, her familiar blush.

"Sorry, I've been quite busy and I wanted to talk to you but then plans got in the way." I waved my hand to stop her from continuing. She was very sweet and whenever something happened she always felt as if it was her fault.

"Nah, don't worry about it. So tell me how have you been?" I asked, dragging her towards the office.

"I'm fine, it's been like hell the past few weeks what with Rachael getting married and then my new job, its tiring," she said and I chuckled. I knew exactly how hectic last week had been.

"Don't worry, c'mon," I said and ushered her into Amy's office.

"Look what I've got for you Amy, another flower," I yelled and she jumped from her seat on hearing the word and relaxed when she saw Emma.

"Hey Em how have you been?" she asked, sitting on the couch in her office.

"I'm good thanks, how have you been Ms new producer?" We all laughed. "Good, due to this idiot," she said and I swatted her hand which was trying to mess my hair up.

"Hey, I'm the reason this show is rocking," I stated arrogantly.

"Wow you are so modest," Amy said sarcastically and I laughed.

"You know we missed you at the party, Colin told us you couldn't make it," I said and she smiled.

"Yeah with Rachael and everything, it was difficult but don't worry I am coming to wedding," she replied and I couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

"Who told you that you were invited?" I asked and she pouted and let me tell you her pout is very convincing.

"So what the great work C did that so you would meet us?" Amy asked, kicking me in the ribs.

"Ow!"

"Actually I came here to talk to you about an interview," she started nervously.

"Interview, ok tell us the details and we will get the schedule cleared," I told her but she smiled tightly.

"Actually, the interview has already happened," she answered and I raised my brows as she added, "technically speaking."

What did she mean by that?

"Technically, what do you mean?" Amy asked, not understanding anything she was saying. Emma chewed on her bottom lip and looked nervous.

The interview has already happened; I thought Emma was working for a Quidditch player.

What the hell did she mean by technically?

Hmmm.

NO!

NO!

"No!" I yelled, standing up from the couch and looked at her.

"Tell me you are not saying what I think your saying?" I said.

"What is going on here?" Amy asked, looking at Emma and then at me.

"Do you work for Potter?" I asked calmly and Amy's eyes widened and she looked at Emma who nodded.

"Well fuck me!" I exclaimed.

"Why the hell are you working for him? Don't you know his record? I mean he is a womanizer, he has had sex with each of his assistants and you're working for him," I asked squeezing her shoulders.

"He isn't that bad," she mumbled and shrunk back at my glare. "Look he is above those things but he doesn't see me like that and when you get to know him he is a nice guy," she said and I scoffed.

Nice, my ass.

"C, I am here to schedule another interview after that last disaster," she stated and before I could say no she continued, "Just hear me out, everyone would love to hear his interview and it would be much better if you interviewed him. Your show gets publicity and he gets to talk about his problems." She tried to make a deal.

"I am not doing another interview that idiot, I'm sorry but the answer is no. I was off sick last week because of that asshole," I told her, irritation clear in my voice. I'd kill him if I could get my hands on him.

"I think it's a good idea," Amy said and I glared at her. "No she is right, James Potter is the one of the most famous Quidditch players and remember how many people responded to the interview even when he didn't come. Just think how much people will like it if this happens. It could be a blast," Amy stated, trying to make me agree with the idea.

No!

"You get to ask him anything you want," Emma blurted out and my head snapped to look at her.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked with wide eyes.

"No, you can ask him anything that isn't too personal and which won't affect his status but he gets to answer them, accordingly and he can lie if he wants. What do you say?" she asked and I thought about the offer.

Anything I want to ask.

On air.

It was too tempting to decline.

"You know what I think? I think we have a deal," I replied, shaking Emma's hand and Amy grinned at me.

Well, James Potter, you are going down.

She handed me and Amy two envelopes and we looked at her questioningly.

"These are invites to a party that I am preparing," she said excitedly.

"What's the occasion?" Amy asked and I started opening the invite.

"16 September," I read before going any further.

"Parties on Sundays are cool. We will be there," Amy said, excited about letting her hair down for a change.

"There is no way in the hell that I'm going!" I exclaimed.

"Aw come on," Emma pleaded.

"Emma you are inviting me to Potter's birthday. Have you gone insane?" I asked her.

"No, I organized it and he said I could invite anyone and gave me invites and I want you guys to come," she replied and I shook my head. No way. "The Weasleys will be there so what's the problem?" Emma said and Amy groaned and we turned to look at her.

"What?" She looked like she had lost it for a second but then cooled herself down.

"C'mon I will stop anything bad happening and you get to enjoy the party with your friends, it's been too long since you all went to a party where the parents aren't invited," Emma stated and it was a tempting invite.

"I can't give you my answer right now, but I'll let you know," I replied.

I wasn't ready to think about it at the moment.

"Ok, but come if you can," she said and smiled.

To change the topic and awkwardness I said, "So, do you know someone sent Ms Boot red roses today?"

Amy groaned and I grinned.

Brilliant.

A/n: So here was the chapter, a tiring week for Ciara.

I would really appreciate if you took some time to review the chapter.
