When Joanna made it back into the future she didn't know what to expect. But what she defiantly wasn't expecting was James ignoring her, it seemed every time she was around James would find an excuse to leave and he always seemed nervous around her. It was only two weeks before they were graduating and the way things were happening it looked like Joanna was going to loose James forever. She couldn't handle that after everything they went tough she was hoping they could finally be together. Maybe she shouldn't have kissed him, that way she would still have her best friend. Everyone else was trying to convince Joanna that everything was going to be okay, and James was just trying to figure things out.

One morning at breakfast, after James dashed out taking a piece of toast with him saying he forgot his potions essay in the common room, Joanna received a letter. She looked at the letter with confusion, the return address said Sweden and Joanna was fairly certain that she didn't know anyone from Sweden. Joanna opened the letter wondering what it would say.

"Dear Joanna Willow,

We here at the Swedish Dragon Reserve have heard that you are looking for a job working with Dragons. We received an amazing recommendation letter from one Charles Weasley saying that you have helped him before and that your knowledge of Dragons is quite advanced. We have also heard that you are graduating from Hogwarts within the next couple of weeks. We are looking for a dragon trainer to work in the nursery with the younger Dragons. If you would like to accept our offer we would love to here from you within the next week or two and we would need you to be hear as soon as possible. Contact us with your decision we look forward to hearing from you

Sincerely,

Alma Evensen"

Wow this was not something Joanna was expecting, she thought she would have to wait at least a year or two before she would even be offered a job working with Dragons. She would have to thank James's Uncle Charlie as soon as possible.

And that's when it hit her, James, how would he take this. Even though the two weren't talking right now she was hoping James would come to his senses soon and hoping that something could happen between them, but what with Joanna living to Sweden and James still back here in England how would that work. Joanna knew that James was never the type for relationships let alone a long distance one. Before she could even know what to do she would have to talk to James first and see where they stood or if they even stood at all.

When Joanna made her way to potions she saw that James was already there and sitting at a desk with some Ravenclaw that Joanna didn't know. The closest seat by James was across from Him and next to Fred, who looked to be having a conversation with James himself. Joanna took the seat next to Fred sending him a smile while James tried his best to ignore the new intruder and turning back towards the front completely blocking off the conversation he was just having. Seeing this Fred sends Joanna a sympathetic glance her way after seeing the hurt in her eyes.

During lesson Joanna took out another piece of paper, jotting down something before folding in and sending it James's way.

"James we need to talk about this please."

James just ignored the letter and continued with his notes, so Joanna sent one after another, she needed to talk to James.

"James please."

"James I have important news to talk to you about."

"Come on James you're my best friend don't be like this."

"James it's really important, I need to talk to you."

Right before Joanna was going to give up hope she got a message back.

"Please just listen to me Joanna, I don't really feel like talking right now. There are somethings I have to work out. Just please give me sometime."

'I don't have all that much time' was all Joanna could think as she read the note.

"Joanna, James quit passing notes detention for both of you tomorrow night." Said Teddy having caught the two. He had just gotten back a few weeks ago.

"But Teddy…" Both of the teenagers yelled

"Not buts and it's Professor in class, would you like a second detention."

"No" came the gloomy reply.

After that last note Joanna was dreading the detention she had with James but she was hoping that they could find some time to talk.

The rest of the Day and the next day seemed to drag on, all the while James still ignoring Joanna. He had stopped leaving the room when she would appear. But now he was just acting as if Joanna didn't even exist and that seemed to hurt Joanna more. Making her dread the detention and pretty much left her with no hope of ever being able to talk to James tonight.

The night came and Joanna had made her way down to the dungeons for detention with Teddy and James. By the time Joanna had made her way down there she saw that James wasn't here yet. She was hoping that James wasn't going to be ditching tonight. She was determined to find out where they stood even if it killed her.

"Hey Anna, I would like to talk to you before you get started. I asked James to come a little bit later so we could talk alone." Said Teddy; he had taken to calling her Anna since she was a little girl always coming over to the Potter house.

"Sure, what's up?"

"I was just wondering if something happened between you and James. You both seem very distant recently and I know Harry and Ginny would be very mad at me if I didn't try to help."

"Well actually there is, James doesn't really want to talk to me right now and he seems to be ignoring me since I…." And Joanna trailed off from there.

"Since you what?"

"Since I kissed him the other night."

"Wow, didn't see that one coming, I always thought James would be the one to make the first move."

"Well, evidently not seeing as he is now ignoring me as if his life depended on it."

"I think I have an idea, I'm going to be leaving you two alone for a little while tonight, try to see if you can talk things out. It would be a shame to loose a friendship over something like this. Now in the mean time organized the ingredients in the cabinet, this is detention after all." Teddy said with a smirk.

"Thanks Teddy." Joanna hugged him and got started on organizing, but soon found herself distracted.

About twenty minutes into Joanna working the door opened. Knowing this was probably James Joanna heart began to race, she still didn't know what to say. Teddy got James started on cleaning cauldrons and asked Joanna to do the same as soon as she was done organizing. She continued working and about ten or fifteen minutes later she heard Teddy make an excuse saying he had to leave and have a meeting with Professor Longbottom. Silence ensued, neither of the pair saying anything. After Joanna was done organizing she made her way into the main room where James was cleaning cauldrons.

"James…" came a small reluctant voice. James didn't even looked up but carried on as if nothing happened.

"James!" Joanna said a little bit louder having been annoyed at being ignored yet again.

"What Jo." James's voice came out a harsh and scolding.

"Listen James we need to talk…"

"No we don't Joanna, we don't need to do anything."

"James, just listen…"

"No! You listen! Joanna we have already talked about this, I just need some time to think I need to work things out on my own. Joanna you of all people know how annoyed I get at people trying to force me to do stuff. I told you I'm not ready to talk yet so until I am just Leave Me Alone!" James grabbed his wand and used a spell cleaning all the cauldrons before storming out and leaving Joanna there.

When Joanna made he way back to the castle she had made a decision. Grabbing a paper, pen and ink well Joanna started writing the letter that would change her life. For better or worse she wouldn't know but she had to make this decision and this seemed like the best one.

"Dear Alma Evensen,"
