"You….you what?" I was shocked. As if my life wasn't confusing enough.

"I want you back" Jason repeated. "I made a mistake. I know that now."

I scoffed. Who did he think he was? "Oh you know that now. That's alright then, I'll just come running back to you because 'you made a mistake and you know that now'. Piss off Davies." I then proceeded to run back to the castle, but not before I heard him yell, "DON'T THINK I'M GIVING UP THAT EASILY!"

Seriously? Some guys can be huge bastards. He thinks because he said sorry, and that he wanted me back, I was just going to jump right back into his arms. Well he can forget that.

Halfway back to the Gryffindor tower, There was a group of young students just standing in the middle of the corridor, chatting. "Excuse me." I asked, trying to keep my voice steady and calm. After all, rudeness wouldn't get me far right? However, these people were being annoying and didn't respond. "Excuse me!" Again, no response. I guess manners aren't going to work with these people.

"Out of my way!" Okay, when I was back to normal, I'd feel bad for pushing the first year over. And making her cry. But at the moment, I was just mad.

Storming into the Common Room, I searched thoroughly for any of the girls. Which is when I noticed nearly everyone staring at me. Talk about dramatic entrances.

"Umm…..does anyone know where Holly Winters is?" I asked sheepishly, my anger dropping down a notch. Almost as one, the majority of the room pointed over to a table by the window, where Holly was waving madly and Rose was trying not to associate herself with Holly.

The room was still staring at me, it was really uncomfortable. "Um…thanks." I walked over to their table, looking embarrassed.

"Wow Ames, you sure know how to cause a scene." Rose seemed slightly happier now that everyone had gone back to what they were doing.

"Shut up, I need someone to rant to." Rose sighed and stood up, gesturing me in the direction of the staircase. "Let's get this over with" she said.

Holly instantly jumped up. "Can I come? I'm bored." Nodding stiffly, I made my way up to the dorm. Once Holly had shut the door behind her and Rose, I let loose.

"JASON DAVIES IS A DICK! He's a knob and a cock! AND AN ASSHOLE!"

"Ames, I'm pretty sure most of those insults are just the same thing." Holly went quiet after I shot her one of my glares. That's right, I'm a scary pregnant woman. Fear me.

Rose gave Holly a warning look to say 'Stop talking now', before asking "What's he gone and done now?"

"He has the nerve to say that he didn't mean to hurt me and that he wants me back." I released some of the anger I was holding back. "AFTER HE SAID I WASN'T BLOODY WORTH IT!"

"He said he wanted you back? What did you say?" Rose was a good listener, I think I'll use her in the future.

"I told him that he was too late, but I don't think he's going to leave me alone."

Holly decided to have her input in the conversation. "You could just do what I do in difficult situation." Holly's statement made me perk up. "Yeah? What would you do if you were in my position."

Holly just shrugged and said "Ignore it until it goes away."


Walking to and from classes had gone from easy, to damn right difficult. Why?

Jason Davies had taken to following me from lesson to lesson, trying to convince me to give him another chance.

"Is he out there?" Which meant that I was making my friends act as lookouts. A job Al was not enjoying.

"Why don't you just look yourself? He grumbled, moping after having to stay in the last class of the day, five minutes after it ended. "I'm hungry, can't we just go?"

Rose smacked him across the head, as Dom said "Davies just will NOT leave Ames alone. Yesterday, he tried to follow us into the toilets." This made Holly snort, and Rose giggle.

"There is nothing funnier than watching Jason Davies get attacked by a stampede of shrieking girls. He screams like one as well." Holly smirked. I snorted before nudging Albus. "Please have a look Al." I put on my best puppy dog face. I could see him hesitating.

"Not the puppy dog face! I won't. I…." My chin started to tremble. "Fine! Just this once."

Puppy dog face: 1, Friends: 0

Albus dragged himself across the room and peeked through the door. "Yep. Still waiting at the end of the hall."

As we all groaned, Holly said "Man, that guy has patience." Trying to think of a plan, all of us had gone quiet, except for Albus who said "Now can we go?"

"NO!" Al instantly shrank back away from all of us yelling. "Alright, just asking."

"I got it!" Dom got really excited, jumping up and down. She then turned to Al. "You need to leave the room, walk towards Davies, and tell him that Amy left ages ago. Then you can go down to dinner and we'll meet you there."

"If I do this, I can go to dinner?" He looked hopeful as we all nodded. "Okay, I'll do it." He moved quickly over to the door, and walked through. We all lined up next to the door, and looked through the gap.

Al was walking over to Davies. "Hey mate, Amy left a while back. She's probably gone back to the tower or something."

He shook his head. "I got here before lessons finished. She hasn't come out yet. I was here at the start of lessons too, and I watched her go in."

Does anyone else think that is really weird?

"I thought I was joking when I called him a stalker." Rose mumbled quietly.

Albus was just standing there. "Right. Well, I'm going to dinner." He then passed Davies as he made his way to the Great Hall.

"Well that worked Dom." I said flatly, as Dom whispered "Traitor."

Rose then stated what everyone was thinking. "What do we do now?" Silence. Great.

Before long however, Holly was smiling. "You know how he ran away from the screaming girls in the toilet?" I was confused at what she was planning, however Rose and Dom's faces lit up.

Next thing I knew, Holly and Dom had pushed the door open all the way, and sprinted up to him screaming their heads off and shouting profanities. For the second time this week, Jason shrieked like a girl and ran off in the direction of the moving staircase.

I could actually make a hobby of watching Jason scream like a girl. It's hilarious.

After Davies and both Holly and Dom had disappeared out of view, Rose dragged me out of the room and in the opposite direction.

"Piece of cake." Rose was smiling. "I think Holly should come up with more plans like this." We both made our way through the secret passageway that would take us from the Seventh floor, to the fourth.

After a couple of minutes of silence, Rose decided to break it.

"You're going to have to have a word with him. We can't do this every time we need to leave a room." I sighed. I knew she was right. Thing is, I didn't want to speak to the jerk.

"I know. But not right now." As we exited the passageway, we headed to the stairs down to the Great Hall. While we were walking down them, Scorpius Malfoy was walking in the opposite direction. And then a lot happened within seconds.

Malfoy nodded. Rose smiled. Malfoy winked. Rose blushed.

I think someone's got a crush.

"Oh my god." I pulled Rose into an alcove, after he'd walked out of sight. "You like Malfoy."

"No I don't." She held her head higher and strutted off. I ran after her.

"You do. Anyone with eyes would have seen the silent conversation you both just had." I smirked. "Besides you have a tell when you lie."

She looked horrified. "I do not." I laughed as she blushed. I was enjoying this.

"So. A Weasley and a Malfoy. Family dinners are going to be awkward." Rose groaned. "Your family is not going to like it."

She went on the defensive, almost making me regret teasing her. "So what? I don't care what they think. I can…..date who I want to date. They don't get a say!"

"You say that," I tried to support her, but it was hard if she wasn't being truthful with herself. "But I know how important family is to you Weasleys. Plus I wasn't lying about that tell."

She visibly slumped. "I'm in a mess aren't I?"

"You and me both."


"Albus you git!" This was followed by a sharp whack to the back of his head by Rose.

"Ow, what was that for?" This was said while Al was eating, so the wonderful view of half masticated food made my stomach squirm. Welcome back, morning sickness. I missed you. Not.

"For walking off, when the plan failed!"

"Well, you said it yourself, the plan failed. And besides, Dom said I could go to dinner if I said what she told me to say." He turned to me, trying to look for backup. "You don't hold it against me do you?"

I smiled at him. Before whacking him across the back of the head as well.

"OW! Will everyone please stop hitting me!" We all chuckled, and sat down around him. Looking around, I noticed that both the other Potters were within hearing distance, James slightly further away.

"Hey Mini Potter." Lily turned to me with an exasperated look on her face.

"Must you call me that? I do have a real name you know." I smiled as I reached over for the jar of peanut butter.

"Yeah, but I like nicknames. I think they're cute."

Lily raised her eyebrows. "So you have nicknames for everyone else as well?"

I snorted. "Of course. Rose is…..well Rose. There are no nicknames really." Dom shook her head and poked Rose on the arm as she said "Actually there is. 'Rosie'."

Rose glared at Dom. "Which 'Rosie' hates."

I laughed, forgetting what we were talking about. "What was I saying? Oh yeah, nicknames. And Dom is 'Dommykins'."

Dom let her head fall down onto the table. "Oh God. I thought we were past that. It's so embarrassing." She lifted her head just enough to send me a pleading look, but when I just smirked, she let her head fall down again.

"Shouldn't have let me read a letter from your dad in first year then should you? Finally Holly is just known as 'crazy lady'."

Lily spat out the pumpkin juice she was drinking mid laugh. After apologising to the younger boy she had showered with juice, she turned back. "Crazy lady? Well at least I can see where you got that from."

"Tell me about it. She is going to corrupt LBP." I spooned in some peanut butter on its own.

"Um Ames?" Al looked bemused. "Who's LBP?"

Well done Amy. Foot. In. Mouth.

"It's….my cat."

The group surrounding me were looking at each other in a confused manner. Jack, who was sat by James, looked around at everyone's expressions. "I'll take this one." he said. "Ames, you don't have a cat."

"Yes I do." Very convincing. "It's a kitten, and it's living with our cousin Elena."

I need to go to lying classes. A.S.A.P.

Luckily for me however, Jack seemed to buy it. "Okay then. So what does LBP stand for?"

Think, Amy, think. Just say anything. "Lewis Barney…Pablo." Pablo? PABLO? I shock even myself.

Holly piped up then. "Why those names?" Okay, I think they are all trying to ruin me. I don't know how long I can keep this up.

"Well, Lewis is the name of my grandfather." I looked in the direction of Jack to confirm, seeing him nod. "Barney…is the name of my favourite dinosaur." This is just getting embarrassing now.

Sean, being pureblood, looked especially confused at what I said. "A dinosaur called Barney?"

Just to make this worse, I decided to add "He's purple." Sean gaped for a bit, before shaking his head and mumbling "I am not getting into this."

James, who was sat with an amused look on his face added "And, Pablo?"

I stood up quickly, shocking everyone. "I don't know! I like the name!" I moved away from the table. "I'm going to bed."

"Wait for me, I'll come with you." Holly stood up, linked arms with me, and pulled me along next to her. "When is LBP coming to Hogwarts? Him and Speedy can be best friends! They can share clothes, and go shopping together."

"You do know they're cats right?"


Getting ready for bed three hours later, after just hanging around the dorm with Holly, there came a knock on the door. Rose and Dom had since come up to the room, so it couldn't be them.

"Can one of you get that? I'm brushing my teeth." said Rose. Dom had fallen asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, and Holly was doing some sort of part yoga part praying exercise she thought looked fun.

"Guess it's me then" I whispered under my breath. Opening the door, I found an open box on the floor, containing a note, and small kitten with black fur. Picking up the note first, I opened it up and started to read.

Amy,

Thought that if a cat was your alibi, you at least needed evidence.

Take care of him.

- J

P.S. I've already named him. Check the collar.

He was adorable.

Picking him up, the kitten let out a soft miaow, before he started to purr. I turned the tag over to find it was engraved on both sides. On one side of the tag, there was a picture of a lightning bolt. On the other, were three letters.

LBP

Smiling, I turned and carried my new kitten into my dorm.
