The two were more distant than ever before. It was weird for them to be like this, they hadn't had a really big fight like this, unless you wanna count when they five and they wouldn't talk to each other for a week cause James had said that girls couldn't play quidditch. But it had been months since their fight and they still weren't talking.

It seemed that no one else was talking to James either. Everyone could not believe he would say something like that to Jo and they weren't gonna talk to them until he apologized. James spent most of his time sitting at the slytherin table with Monica and her friends, but anyone could tell he was struggling with everything going on.

Joanna was suffering too and it was worrying everyone. She was so silent; she wasn't talking to anyone anymore, and she only talked in classes when she had too. And not only was she not talking much, but she wasn't eating or sleeping all that much either. And James looked pretty much the same.

They months were going by fast but to both James and Joanna it seemed that they had life sentences to Azkaban at this point. But it was only two more weeks until everyone would be going home for winter break. Joanna couldn't wait, but everyone else was afraid, with the way Joanna was acting they were afraid she was gonna turn into a shut in, and stay in her room for the most part, and no one not even James wanted that.

"Hey have you gotten a dress for Teddy and Vics wedding yet?" Rose asked Jo on day trying to start a conversation with her.

"Oh I totally forgot about that"

"It's ok, there is a hogsmeade trip this weekend we can make it a girls day again, oh and Molly said she was gonna come and visit us this weekend when we go" at Molly's name Joanna perked up a little bit, she would finally get to see her best friend again sine the beginning of the school year, and she would finally get to vent about this whole James thing.

That weekend ended up coming up faster then Joanna thought it would. All of the girls met up by the doors of the Great Hall after breakfast that morning and then made there way down to the village. When they got down there they headed right over to Gladrag's Wizardwear. When they got there they saw that the guys were also there getting their last minute formal robes for the wedding too. Even more surprising they had James with them, but what surprised Joanna the most was the fact that Monica wasn't hanging all over James today. In fact she was no where to be scene, and word around Hogwarts was this whole drama between Joanna and James was really putting a strain on their relationship.

Joanna stared at James and it was evident that he was grieving about this thing just as much as she was. All of a sudden their eyes meet, so much sorrow could be seen in both sets of eyes but neither could tear away from the gaze. Finally Joanna looked away when Rose had asked her a question. It was then that James got a good look at her, she was thinner than ever and she looked like she hadn't slept for weeks. It was tearing him up inside know that he had done that to her.

Soon all the girls had their robes and paid for all of them before heading over to Three Broomsticks where they were gonna meet up with Molly. The second that got there Joanna spotted Molly.

"Molly!" Joanna yelled tackling her best friend into a hug. It was the happiest anyone had seen Jo in months. Pulling away from the hug was when Joanna noticed that she had three people with her. Joanna noticed that Sean and Louis were part of those three but she didn't recognize that third person at all, but Jo guessed that it was someone from Their quidditch team.

Molly sat down and took Sean's hand in hers. A few weeks ago she had sent Joanna a letter that her and Sean were dating and Joanna was happy for her friend.

"Hey Sean, Louis" Jo said before taking a seat. "And Hello my name it Joanna Willow" Jo says putting out her hand to the person she didn't know.

"Pleasure Paul Dupont" His french accent was apparent as he took Joanna's hand and kissed it. Jo blushed and giggled getting butterflies in her stomach. But they were soon disrupted as the bell to the door rang. Everyone turned to the door to find it was the guys, and James was still with them. The guys brought another table to the girls table and pulled up chairs. James made sure he got a seat as far from Joanna as possible.

He did look over at her though to find she was smiling. He found that he had missed that smile but a pang in his stomach told him he wished that he had been the one to put it on her face. It was then that he noticed Paul. He had met Paul earlier that summer when they had all gone to visit Louis. James didn't really like him; he had flirted with James's sister and all of his cousins when they had visited. And from what he had heard from Louis and Sean, Paul was quite the womanizer. In Sean's words 'he could put Sirius Black to same.' And now here he was flirting with Joanna and James couldn't help but feel the need to punch him in the face right there. He didn't want Joanna to be hurt by the likes of him.

Later that night James waited till he and Joanna were the only ones in the common room. Joanna hadn't noticed as her face was in her book.

"Hey" James said walking over to her. Joanna jumped as she thought she was alone but even more surprising to her was whose voice it was.

"Can we talk" James said after noticing that Jo wasn't going to talk, but he did deserve it. "So you met Paul"

"Yes he is very nice, what's it to you"

"I don't want you to get involved with him"

"As if you have a say in it"

"Look he is a flirt and a womanizer, I don't want you to get hurt"

"Well too late, but it wasn't Paul that hurt me. James it was you that hurt me, it wasn't Paul or anyone else but you, and you hurt me beyond belief. Now if you don't mind I'm going to bed" Jo said grabbing her book and heading up to the dorms.

James was left there. If his hear hadn't been hurt before it was surely shattered at that point. She had taken every piece and broken it.

Here is the next chapter hopefully I'll be able to post another one today but for now this is it. Hope you like it. Please review if you would and tell me how I'm doing :) thank you!
