"Ree?" I heard a familiar voice calling.

Walking out of the kitchen, I saw Rose lying on the couch. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"What?" She asked looking at me.

"Nothing." I said as I jumped at her and put my arms and head on her stomach.

She shreiked, I laughed. It wasn't new for us. We did this usually with, sometimes with the parts changing.

"Umm... are we interupting?" I heard someone say after clearing their throat.

I looked up from Rose's stomach to find a smirking James and an awkward Louis standing near my door.

"Uh... what?" I asked clearly not understanding Louis' awkwardness.

He gave a cough and pointed at us.

It took me a moment to understand what he was on about. Rose meanwhile had started laughing.

"Oh! God. Louis. We always do this. This is our thing. I have Scorp, remember. And I am not cheating on him." Rose spoke up as I climbed off her while making showing quotation around 'thing' with her fingers.

I shook my head, trying to hide my smile.

"So... what's up?" I asked both the boys as they sat down on the opposite couch after I beckoned at thrm to do so.

"Just wanted to know if you found anything." James spoke up.

"I actually looked up for Bernard. Gathered as much information as I could from everyone, but nothing seems suspicious. Nothing connected to our family that would lead to revenge or anything." Rose said seriously.

"I got someone named Toby Allen. Teddy gave me a copy of his files. Nothing." I said.

"Scorp's trying to find something from his contacts. Nothing till now." Rose said again.

"So, we got to wait till the others finish their files." I said.

The other three nodded.

After a bit of silence I cleared my throat and asked. "You guys want anything?"

"I won't mind a tea Ree." James said.

I nodded and looked at the other two in question.

"Same." They replied.

I stood up to go to the kitchen. I had only just started making tea when I heard Louis say. "You know, I just realized that this is the first time, I have been to your home."

I turned to face him, not knowing what to say. He was observing the kitchen. Only if he knew that it was his home too.

"Yeah!" I said at last and turned away to put the now boiling water in four cups.

"You want some help?" I heard from behind me.

"Nah. I can manage." I spoke up lifting the tray containing our drinks. "On second thoughts, actually I do. Grab the biscuits will you? It's on that shelf there." I nodded towards the shelf.

Louis did as asked and as we walked out of the kitchen to the living room, I saw the other two were missing.

"Where are the others?" I asked as I put down the tray.

"Rose went to the bathroom, James is on a call."

We sat down ready to begin our tea.

"Great. Tea's ready." I heard Rose say as she entered the room.

It was a good evening for me after a long time. Louis was in the house despite not remembering it. I kept that part hidden away in some lone corner of my brain. But, it was a good evening. With some of my favourite people there with me.

And, therefore nothing could have prepared me or anyone else of the shock we received the next evening.

...

It's been about half of an hour but it seems more. Sitting here with the Wotters once again, waiting for news. I hated it.

The only difference between this time and last was that, this time we were all sitting at the burrow.

Suddenly, the door opened revealing Molly and a battered Louis and Scorpius. I stood from my chair and looked at the person who had just come out. He didn't look that bad. I had imagined worse. He seemed almost fine. Scorp looked fine though.

"You okay?" It was Rose who first asked it.

"Yeah! Fine. Thanks to Scorpius here." He replied.

-2 hours earlier-

James and I apparated away to his apartment. It was after practise. We had been to mine where I showered and changed but then made our way over to his.

"Rosie, Lils what's up?" James asked as soon as he saw his cousin and sister occupying the couch.

They didn't look good. Angry and moody were the two words I would use actually.

"I can't believe it." Lily spat out.

"Err... what can't you believe Lily?" I asked softly.

She glared at me. I flinched.

"Ree..." Rose began. "Louis is going out with a girl called Stephenie."

I stared at her. My chest burned. It hurt. I couldn't even manage to think anything. Rose's words running in my head. Louis was going out with someone else.

Fuck. It hurts.

"Oh." I managed at last.

Rose looked at me sadly. "I am sorry Ree." She started once again. I shook my head at her. "Lily and I came here to spend time with him after work. Scorp tagged along. When we told him about having dinner togather, he gave us the news. Scorp stormed out."

I smiled at her sadly.

"Oh! Hey! When did you two come?" Louis began as soon as he saw us.

James shrugged but I couldn't make myself to look at him. It hurt. Too much. He was kind of replacing me without knowing. And that hurt even more.

"So, who are you going with Lou?" James asked with a smirk.

Louis rolled his eyes. "I am sure you already know it's Stephenie."

"Ian's sister. You are going out with Ian's sister." I jumped up, realization suddenly dawning on me.

"Fuck." James cursed. "Damn. Dude."

"Is it... wrong?" Louis asked. Clearly he hadn't thought about us reacting this way.

I had started pacing the room. "This is bad. Did you tell her? About your amnesia?"

He nodded. I glared at him. Hell, I wanted to strangle him. Out of all the people in the whole wide world, he had to tell Stephenie.

"Louis, Ian doesn't freaking know you have amnesia. His sister knowing blew that up. Damn. It's messed up." Lily almost screamed. The other two had come to conclusion once hearing me.

"Oh." Was the only thing to come out of his mouth.

"It's okay. You go. We'll think of something." I mumbled.

The other three looked at me with varying stages of protest. It wasn't any use. He already blew up the cover. And though it hurt but he seemed happy.

About an hour later we were still sitting on James' couch. All of us except Louis. He had gone. I admit I teared up. It freaking hurt to see him go to someone else.

Rose had just made coffee. We were about to drink that when the front door opened with a bang revealing a wild looking Albus.

"Guys. He's attacked. Louis. Scorp and I were tailing them and someone came and... We need to go."
