Cherry gaped at the woman standing in front of her. Her mother was here?! She hadn't seen her in five years! She found herself leaping over the sofa and hugging her.

"Mum! Oh my god! How'd you know I was here?" she cried. Amanda grinned.

"A reliable source" she told her. Cherry raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not even going to ask" Amanda laughed.

"Aw, sweetie, I've missed you. It's not the same without my daughter around" she told her.

"Oi! I thought I was your best friend!" Cherry said, pretending to look hurt.

"You are!"

"Right! So, how's your music career going?"

"Great. I've got two songs that are in the top ten"

"Wicked"

"How's your love life?" Cherry immediately looked sad.

"It's terrible now that you ask"

"Uh-oh. Who was it this time?"

"Well . . . it was Logan" she said quietly. Amanda gaped at her.

"Logan? As in Logan Lupin? The guy that you absolutely loathed and pranked all the time that you were in school?"

"We started going out in sixth year" Cherry replied defensively "And our relationship was really serious"

"Well, what happened that made it not serious?"

"He proposed to me" Cherry now looked on the verge of tears.

"Why didn't you say yes?" Amanda queried.

"You know why! You know who my father is! You know exactly what he'd do if he found out who I was to marry!" Amanda sighed.

"Alright, I'm sorry. So, what's going on between you and Logan now?"

"We've gone back into our prank war again" Cherry told her sadly "I love him and he's just being a complete asshole" Amanda pulled a sympathetic face.

"Most men are like that when they're rejected"

"I don't know what to do anymore"

"Give him a good kick up the ass!" she told her. Cherry laughed weakly.

"Yeah"

"Ems. You'll do fine, I promise" Logan told her. Emily paced nervously back and forth in the Gryffindor changing rooms. There was a space for Gryffindor Chaser seeing as Katie Bell had quit from her studies getting in the way of Quidditch practice, now there was a space and Emily was going to give it a try.

"I'm still really nervous! What if I drop the Quaffle when it's passed to me or-"

"Stop thinking about the negatives and think about the positives!" Logan said firmly "If you think negative, you'll do badly!" Emily nodded, still looking nervous.

"Emily? You're up next!" Harry yelled to her. Emily took a deep breath as she walked out of the Gryffindor changing rooms.

"Let's do this" Emily whispered to herself.

Sirius eventually found Jay lying on his bed, face down. Glancing around nervously, he approached him and sat down on the edge of his bed.

"Go away" came the muffled reply from the pillow. Sirius tapped him on the shoulder, only to receive a punch in the jaw. Sirius stared at his son in shock, then narrowed his eyes.

"Listen here, young man! What's going on?" Sirius demanded.

"It's none of your business!" Jay snarled.

"Knowing what's making my son act like this is my business, so if you don't mind, I would like to know"

"Go screw yourself" Jay snapped. Something inside Sirius snapped as he smacked his son around the head.

"Don't you dare speak to me like that!" he roared "Now, you're going to tell me what's going on!"

"Oh, so you're gonna abuse me now? Go on then. It'll make me feel better. I deserve it anyway" Jay replied, sounding both angry and sad. All thoughts of smacking his son into telling him flew out of his head as Sirius saw a tear run down Jay's face.

"What's happened?" Sirius asked quietly.

"Why'd I have to be like you?" Jay cried "Why'd I have to be a goddamn player?!" he screamed. Sirius looked at him, taken aback.

"What's happened?" Sirius repeated quietly.

"Emily" Jay sniffed sadly, another tear falling down his cheek. Sirius raised an eyebrow.

"What about her?"

"She hates me"

"No she doesn't! Why would she hate you?"

"She saw me snogging Lavender Brown in the broom closet" Sirius continued to look confused.

"But I thought she didn't like you in that way"

"So did I, until I saw the look on her face-and those eyes!" Jay moaned.

"What look on her face?"

"The one of betrayal and-and anger and hatred" Jay said, his voice wavering "And I knew straight away that I'd lost her, she-she called me Black. She's never called me that before, well, only jokingly, but she yelled at me, then she ran off crying and-and I've lost her" Sirius looked at his son sympathetically. It was obvious that Jay was madly in love with Emily, but snogging other girls was a way to get his mind off of her.

"I think she was gonna say yes" Jay said even more quietly.

"What?"

"I asked her out on Valentines' Day and I think she was gonna say yes, now that Emily hates me, I don't know what to do anymore"

"Try sending her flowers and chocolates?" Sirius suggested "To show you're sorry" Jay nodded and brightened.

"Great idea dad! Thanks!" and with that, he dashed off.

Amanda wandered Hogwarts alone. Cherry said that she needed to do something, so she was left to try and find her way around the school. Now, she thought, I've gotten myself lost. She shivered; everything around her was dark and cold. She was definitely in the dungeons. Starting to get freaked out by how quiet everything was, she started running, only to almost bump into someone, she skidded and landed on the floor, looking at the person towering above her in horror.

It was a man, dressed in black and a surprised look on his face. It was Snape. Amanda shook her head, looking terrified.

"NO!" She screamed, turning around and bolting the other way "NOOO! NOOO!"

She collided into someone else, but carried on crawling as fast as her arms and legs could take her. The person, who turned out to be Lupin grabbed a hold of her.

"What's wrong?"

"No! Let me go! He'll kill me! He'll kill me! HE'LL KILL ME!" Amanda screamed, trying to get out of the Lupin's grip. Lupin glanced up to see Snape walking towards them. Amanda was still struggling to get out of his grip.

"Lupin, move out of the way" Snape told him. Lupin looked from Amanda to Snape, then back to Amanda again. He hesitantly moved out of the way, only for Amanda to start screaming and crawling backwards. Suddenly, there was a cry from the other end of the hallway.

"MUM!" Cherry ran down the hallway to her mother and crouched down next to her.

"Mum, are you okay?" Amanda still carried staring at Snape in terror, until Cherry's shouting made her stop and stare at her daughter.

"He's going to kill me!" Amanda shouted.

"No, he's not" Cherry said quietly.

Snape held out his hand to help her up.

"Are you alright?" he asked her. Amanda looked at Snape's hand, then recoiled.

"I know what you're doing and it isn't going to work! You're going to try and get me to trust you then you're going to kill me" she whimpered.

"I'm not"

"He isn't. He works for Dumbledore mum. He's a spy for Dumbledore. He isn't a Death Eater" Cherry whispered. Amanda still carried on looking scared, then slowly, she took Snape's hand and stood up.

"I did it! I'm in! Wa-hoo!" Emily cried out "I MADE THE GRYFFINDOR QUIDDITCH TEAM!" She shouted happily.

"Way to go Ems! High five!" Harry and Emily high-fived each other. Hermione embraced Emily in a hug, while Ron shook her hand.

"Nice one Ems. That was brilliant!" Emily blushed.

"Thanks"

"Where's Jay? I haven't seen him all day. Hey that rhymes!" Ron said brightly. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Such an Einstein, isn't he?" Emily laughed.

"That's a good question actually. I haven't seen him since he stormed off in class. Do any of you guys know why he acted like that?" They all shrugged.

Suddenly, an owl flew down to Emily carrying a red rose and a box of chocolates. Emily stared at them, as a note fluttered down to her hands. She read it once, her expression turned to disgust as she screwed it up, threw it on the ground, then she tied the chocolates and the rose back to the owl and told it to return it back to the owner. The owl took off again.

"Who was that from?"

"No one"

"Yeah right. You must know who it's from"

"No, it was just a disgusting love poem" Ron snorted with laughter.

"Well, I'm gonna go and get changed, see you guys in a few minutes" and with that, she rushed off to the changing rooms. Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail and Lils rushed down from the stands.

"How's it going? That was pretty exciting, wasn't it?" Prongs said, with a grin.

"Yeah, it was. Hey Lils, what are you doing?" Padfoot asked, seeing Lils pick up a screwed up note.

"What's this?" Lils asked.

"Emily said it was a disgusting love poem. Whoever it was, sent a red rose and a box of chocolates too, but she refused them and told the owl to send it back to the person who had sent them" Lils paled.

"Um . . . did she mention who it was from?" she questioned them. Harry shook his head.

"No"

"Well, it was from Jay" she told them.

"WHAT?!" They all cried out in unison. Hermione snatched the letter from Lils and scanned through it, then she gasped.

"Emily rejected it? How could she! That's so mean!"

"What? What does it say?" Prongs asked, looking curious. Hermione cleared her throat as she read out:

"To Emily.

I'm really sorry for what happened at the Valentines' Ball. I was being an absolute jerk by snogging Lavender in the broom closet. I guess I never expected you to say yes, but seeing you so upset, I realized that you did like me in that way. I hope you can forgive me. No matter what I do or say, I'll always love you. Please meet me by the lake tonight at seven. If not, then I'll understand.

Lots of love

Jay"

They all looked at Hermione in astonishment as she finished.

"And all Emily did was screw it up, she wasn't even going to consider it"

"We're gonna have to get those two to talk. If it's because of her that Jay's acting like this, then something needs to be done" they all nodded and agreed to convince Emily to get her to meet him that night. Suddenly, a gasp behind them made them whirl around. It was Emily and she looked shocked.

"What are you doing?" They all narrowed their eyes at her as Remus stepped forward.

"We'd like a word with you"
