James and Sirius sat together on the sofa in the Gryffindor common room, it was early morning and they decided to wait for their friend, it was now February, and Remus was worrying his friends he barely ate, he barely talked, he wasn't the happy boy they once knew. The girls kept telling them to give it time, to let him heal.

However it didn't stop them worrying about their friend. In fact none of them could stop worrying about him, but none of them really knew what to do.

"How do you think he is going to cope with Valentines day?" James asked suddenly, concern etched on his face, he knew realistically his friend wouldn't be feeling his best on that especially when everyone else was so loved up.

"I'd forgotten all about it," Sirius muttered, ashamedly.

"Lily doesn't want to do anything; she says Valentines Day is like a curse in the Evans family… Can't remember exactly what she told me…" James said thoughtfully, Sirius nodded, he'd heard Ivy say something along the same lines, and when in Hogwarts it could only be worse than usual.

Minutes later Remus appeared in the common room, he smiled weakly at his best friends, he looked tired, Sirius had told him that he hadn't been sleeping the last few nights.

"Guys, I'm sorry that I haven't…" Remus croaked, he looked worn out and slightly ill, more than slightly ill, he looked grey.

"Moony, Mate, you got nothing to apologise for," Sirius said slapping his friend on the back and walking with him towards the great Hall. "But you clearly need food, I smell chocolate cake, join us and revel in the wonder that is chocolate cake."

Ivy was nervous; she and Lily were sat on the couch in the Heads Common Room. It was Valentines Day, a day they both dreaded. This was the day where something went wrong, and a serious level of wrong. Their Mother had been put into hospital with severe food poisoning that their father had given her, in an attempt to brighten her day… Their grandmother had been left heartbroken in the middle of a London when her first love had been killed after being run over by the very horse and carriage that he had gotten to woo her with.

"Y'know, it could just be something in our imagination," Lily said, though knowing she was lying through her arse. Ivy raised an eyebrow at her redheaded twin. They knew the stories, and it always begun once they had found someone.

"You know it isn't," Ivy snapped, Lily let it slide, knowing that Ivy was probably under more pressure then her, she struggled more with being with Sirius, he still had a reputation.

"We're witches; it could be different for us," Lily insisted, not believing her own words.

"You know it isn't," Ivy repeated, and Lily sighed gloomily.

"I know."

Part of the Valentine celebrations for the seventh years was a party in the room of requirements, it happened every year and just for the seventh years. There was Music and Drinks, and a lot of dancing and well other stuff.

Robyn was dancing with a Hufflepuff boy, she tried to get Lily and Ivy to join in, but the twins were acting jumpy. So she decided to enjoy herself. She was about to excuse herself when she saw something that shocked the hell out of her.

In a dark corner, a boy was being pushed against a wall; there was a girl all over him. He seemed really drunk, and not to bothered by the girl, actually rather enjoying it. Robyn, left the poor Hufflepuff boy on his own, much to is confusion and ran towards the twins.

"Ivy!" Robyn yelled and beckoned the blonde girl towards her. "Ivy I'm so sorry but…" Robyn couldn't finish her sentence, she couldn't word what she needed to say, instead she looked over hr shoulder and into the dark corner.

Lily appeared by her twin, she looked at the same spot where Robyn was staring and gasped.

"Ivy…" Lily gasped, but too late, Ivy had seen it, her emerald eyes filled with tears, and she watched as the girl unbuckled his belt, and hitched her skirt up, and they were… Ivy couldn't breathe, she could see he was drunk, but…

Ivy forced her way towards the pair, tearing out of Lily's grip, she reached the pair and yanked the girl away by the hair, the music stopped, and everyone was staring, but she really didn't care.

"HOW COULD YOU?" Ivy screamed she punched him, once, twice, three times; he fell to the floor groaning. Someone grabbed Ivy around the waist, and pulled her kicking and screaming out of the room, then placed her as gently as he could on the floor. When she looked up it was to find Remus, looking down at her, trying to calm her down. Ivy broke down, a sobbing mass in the middle of the seventh floor corridor.

Not long after James appeared with Lily and Robyn, dragging a crying Sirius with them.

"Ivy, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry…" Sirius sobbed, he reached towards Ivy, but Lily got in his way, she grabbed him by the hair, forcing him to look at her.

"Don't talk to her, you haven't the right!" Lily spat before helping her twin to her feet and walking away, Robyn at their heels.

"James what am I going to do?" Sirius asked, he had tears falling steadily down his face as his heart broke.

"I really don't care right now…" James muttered before walking away.

Remus looked at his friend with sad eyes.

"You had it mate, she was yours for life… I've just lost Hannah to death, and you do something like that? What were you thinking you stupid idiot!" Remus said, his voice rising with every word, but it seemed he didn't care for an answer as he stormed off, following James.

They left Sirius there, alone in his misery, he didn't even know why he had started kissing that girl, he had no idea who she was, and then he was having sex with her before he even realised it…

"What have I done?" Sirius asked himself, sinking to the floor, his head in his hands as the reality of what he'd done washed over himself.
