On entering Potions class, Harry quickly seated himself between Ron and
Hermione. Lils seated herself next to Hermione and giggled on remembering
James with the florescent pink hair. Snape strode into the classroom, his
robes billowing behind him. He had his usual sneer on his face and Prongs
was glaring at him.
"Right, all of you, get out your parchment and quills so you can take down notes. Now!" he said sharply. While most people shared bitter looks, they all started getting out their things for class.
"Now, who can tell me-" Right at that moment, Jay and Emily burst into the class, panting for breath and looking exhausted.
"Sorry we're late Professor" Emily gasped as she quickly sat down next to Ron. Snape's eye twitched.
"Black! Lupin! Detention for being late! I will see you both after class!" he barked. Emily's jaw dropped in disbelief. She thrust her hand up in the air.
"But Professor, that's not fair, we've only just started here at this school, so we're not familiar with our surroundings and we don't know where to go!" she protested. Snape acted as if he didn't hear her.
"Now who can tell me-" he stopped abruptly on seeing Emily's hand up in the air again.
"Yes, Miss Lupin?"
"I'm sorry Professor, but I don't think you heard me" Snape's usual pale face turned brick red. Emily didn't back down as she stared at him defiantly.
"I heard you Miss Lupin. Now please do me a favour and shut up! Now- WHAT?!" He cried. Emily put her hand down.
"I don't think that you should hate myself, Harry and Jay for what our fathers did to you at school" she said matter-of-factly. Snape was getting madder by the minute, but Emily seemed oblivious to it. She just continued staring at him innocently.
"Right, that's it! Five points from-"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Emily shrieked, looking outraged.
"WATCH ME! NOW LUPIN, IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, I'LL TAKE FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR, SO IF I WERE YOU, I'D-"
"But, you're not me sir" Emily said with a grin. Suddenly, there was an explosion in the room and everyone gasped. When the smoke cleared, Snape was wearing what appeared to be robes with the Gryffindor colours. He also seemed to be wearing a hat that kept flashing the words "Gryffindor is the best!" Everyone, except the Slytherins, burst out laughing, while Emily giggled. Jay grinned and gave Emily the thumbs-up and a wink. Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying their hardest not to laugh, while the Marauders were in hysterics.
"BLACK! LUPIN! SEE ME AFTER CLASS!" Snape bellowed "AND FIFTY POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" That shut all the Gryffindors up.
"Now, let's begin the class" Snape said, while waving his wand to get his robes back to normal "Who can tell me what ingredients you use in a healing potion?"
=========== ==================== ==============
Emily sat down in the Great Hall, fuming. Jay was looking particularly sour as he mumbled something incoherent.
"You two alright?" Lupin questioned them both.
"I hate Snape!" Emily cried "He gave me detention and that's to clean all the trophies in the trophy room without magic!" Lupin blinked a few times.
"What did you do in his class to earn such a bad detention?"
"I just told him that he shouldn't hate myself, Harry and Jay because of you guys and how you treated him at school and I said that it wasn't fair that we should get detention because we were late. We don't know our surroundings around the school yet!" Sirius let out a bark-like laugh.
"If you try and tell Snape that, he's gonna get offended"
"Plus, we lost fifty points from Gryffindor because Jay pulled a prank on him" Emily added. Harry grinned.
"Aw, c'mon, it was worth it to see the look on Snape's face. It was hilarious!"
Emily went to pick up her bronze fork, but as she did, it somehow turned silver. She screamed as she dropped it, whilst clutching her hand and whimpering. Harry looked at her with concern.
"Are you alright?"
"Someone just hexed my fork to turn silver" she sobbed, then she burst into tears as she ran off. All the Slytherins were laughing.
"I forgot. Werewolves can't touch silver, can they?" Malfoy questioned, looking amused. Jay growled angrily as he lunged at Malfoy and they both went hurtling to the floor. All hell broke loose as the Gryffindors ended up getting into a fight with the Slytherins. Hermione, Cherry, Rose, Sally, Lils and Lily sneaked out in search for Emily, while everyone (yes, including Lupin) were fighting. Snape tried to sneak out too, but Lupin grabbed a hold of him and punched him in the gob.
=========== ==================== ==============
"Emily? Are you alright in there?" Hermione questioned on hearing sobs in the girls toilets.
"I-It really h-hurts!" Emily wailed.
"Come on out sweetie" Sally said gently "Stick it under some cold water, it'll help" Emily opened the cubicle door and stepped out. Her eyes were puffy red and she was still whimpering. She quickly stuck her hand under freezing cold water. Hermione giggled.
"All hell has broken loose in the Great Hall!" she exclaimed "Jay started a fight with Malfoy. It was Malfoy that turned your fork silver by the way" Hermione told her. Emily smiled weakly.
"I think Jay's so sweet, he sticks by you through everything and he fights for you too" Rose said with a smile. Emily blushed.
"Yeah, I know" she said.
"Hey! Its gonna be Valentines Day soon!" Hermione said suddenly. Lils just stared at her.
"Mione, it's only just the beginning of January. What on earth possessed you to talk about Valentines Day?"
"Well, we have a Ball on every Valentines Day" Hermione told her "and most people have *dates*" Emily sighed as she realized what Hermione was hinting.
"Maybe. Only because he can be a player" Hermione grinned.
"It's obvious you like him" Emily's jaw dropped in horror.
"As a friend, yes"
"We've had this little chat before. You like him. End of discussion" Emily rolled her eyes. Sally, Cherry, Rose and Lily smiled at each other knowingly.
"I don't want to go out there yet. No doubt there will be a lot of fuss and I don't want that" Emily whispered. Everyone else nodded in understanding.
"We'll go back to the common room, alright?" Emily nodded and with that, they all made their way back to the Gryffindor common room.
=========== ==================== ==============
As soon as Jay saw Emily, he threw his arms around her.
"You're alright! I was worried!" Emily felt her cheeks go hot.
"I-I'm fine, yeah" When Jay pulled away, Emily noticed that he had a black eye. She gasped.
"Your eye!" she said in shock.
"Nah, its fine. It doesn't hurt that much, I didn't get as beat up badly as Ron though. He's unconscious in the Hospital Wing" Hermione winced.
"Where's Harry?"
"James is just seeing to his glasses. They got broken while him and Malfoy were dueling. I've gotta say though, he's a bloody good dueler!" Hermione smiled broadly.
"He is, isn't he?" Jay nodded.
Suddenly, there was an audible gasp and everyone looked to see Cherry staring open-mouthed at Logan, who had a black eye and several scars on his arms.
"What happened to you?" she cried.
"A few of the Slytherins thought it would be funny to attack me with silver cutlery" Logan said with a shrug "I'm alright though, I just need to- OW!" he yelped on moving a bit to his side. Cherry knelt down next to him.
"I'm taking you to the Hospital Wing. You're not in a fit state!" Cherry said, grabbing a hold of his arm "Come on, move it!"
"Where's Dad?" Emily questioned, noticing that Lupin wasn't in the room.
"Oh, he's in the Hospital Wing too. Snape hexed him. Bad one too. Good thing I helped out otherwise god knows what would have happened" Sirius said, scowling.
"What about Dad's younger self?"
"In the Hospital Wing as well" Sirius said with a laugh "He got hexed badly by one of the Slytherins"
"Well, it seems all the males in the Lupin family are injured. Typical" Everyone laughed.
=========== ==================== ==============
Everyone was seated in the common room. It was nighttime and they were all talking and laughing. It ended up with Hermione and Emily arguing about boys' sensitivity with Harry, Jay and Ron.
"I reckon boys could be a bit more in touch with their feelings!" Hermione said.
"Oh nonononono, don't give me that! Guys are just as sensitive as girls!" Jay said, waving his hand offhandedly. Emily snorted. Suddenly, a pretty sixth year girl with slim legs walked out of the girls' dormitory and out of the Gryffindor common room. Harry, Jay and Ron just stared.
"Whoa, check *that* out!" Harry said his eye wide. Jay whistled.
"That is one hot babe!"
"That is one sexy chick!" Ron said with a grin. All three boys were literally drooling. Hermione and Emily both rolled their eyes.
"Oh yeah, really sensitive!" Hermione said sarcastically. Emily giggled. "The three barbarians more like"
Harry, Ron and Jay pretended to look insulted.
"We are sensitive!" they cried in unison.
"Yeah right!"
=========== ==================== ==============
Cherry jogged around the school. It was one of her exercises; to jog around the entire school in the morning and at night. As she jogged down into the dungeons, she collided with someone and went flying backwards.
"Ow!" Cherry said, rubbing her head.
"Sorry" A man muttered, not really sounding sorry at all and made to walk off. Cherry's head snapped up at the voice.
"Severus?" Snape stopped walking, turned around and his eyes widened.
"You! What are *you* doing here?!" he cried.
"I-I was-I've missed you so much!" she cried joyfully, throwing her arms around his neck. Snape stumbled backwards, looking stunned, then he returned the hug. When she let go, she smiled.
"I simply *had* to come and see you. So, tell me, how's it going?" she asked. Snape, for once in his life, grinned.
"Why do you ask when you know that I hate teaching?"
"Why do you teach?"
"To be near Dumbledore, why else?" Snape said, rolling his eyes. Cherry giggled.
"Yeah, well, I've missed ya. Not been the same without you" she said. Snape raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, right. What about the Lupin's? I see you're quite close to Logan" Cherry nodded.
"Yup. But you know I *love* you more" she said with a wink. Snape snorted.
"Right, whatever. I best be off, got a meeting in the staff room about Potter's, Black's and Lupin's"
"Which ones?"
"All of them! Both James', both Sirius', both Remus', Harry, Jay and Emily!" Snape said, looking exasperated, then he regained his composure "Come to my office at seven and we'll talk, how about that?" Cherry nodded and grinned, then she kissed Snape on the cheek.
"Sure thing hon. See you then" and with that, Cherry jogged off, while Snape was left chuckling to himself as he made his way to the staff room.
"Right, all of you, get out your parchment and quills so you can take down notes. Now!" he said sharply. While most people shared bitter looks, they all started getting out their things for class.
"Now, who can tell me-" Right at that moment, Jay and Emily burst into the class, panting for breath and looking exhausted.
