The next morning, the adults awoke to find Jay and Emily asleep on the sofa. Jay had his arm draped over Emily's waist, while Emily had her face buried into Jay's chest. Jay had a small smile playing on his lips as he slept. Needless to say, it was a very sweet sight.

"Looks like we're going to have to give them 'the talk'" Sally whispered to Lupin, Sirius and Rose, who all nodded. James and Lily were smiling.

"I'm not looking forward to it. Jay hardly ever listens to me" Rose said, looking sad. Sirius put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her tight.

"I'll help. He's a lot like me and I know what can get his attention"

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Rose asked.

"Tell him that Emily won't want him if he doesn't listen to 'the talk'" Sirius winked at her and she rolled his eyes. Suddenly, there was a noise from the boys' dormitories and Logan stumbled into view, rubbing his eyes. He stopped, took one look at Jay and Emily on the sofa and grinned.

"Finally! I thought they'd never get it together! Wait a sec!" and with that, he disappeared from view only to reappear seconds later with a camera. He quickly took a picture of them and then put the camera into his pocket, grinning madly.

"This'll come in use later on" he told himself.

"If you're going to use that against your sister, I'll have you!" Sally warned him.

"Chill mum. I'm not going to" he rolled his eyes and was just about to walk back up to the boys' dormitories when Cherry decided to make an entrance.

"Morning all! It's so sweet, isn't it?" she asked, beaming at the couple lying on the sofa asleep.

"Hold on, you knew!" Logan asked, looking curious.

"Yeah, I was awake when they came back into the common room"

"Did you hear what they were saying? Or weren't they talking much?"

"Oh, they were talking. It was very sweet"

"What did they say?" Sirius asked, looking interested.

"How about I tell you later?" Cherry told him, glancing at Emily, who was stirring. They all nodded, then turned to see Jay and Emily wake up. Emily looked up to see all the adults staring at her and she quickly buried her face into Jay's chest again, although you could tell she was blushing. Jay looked at the adults and grinned.

"Morning all. What's up?" He questioned, as he poked Emily in the stomach. She wriggled away from him and fell off the sofa.

"Sorry" Jay said, looking at her flushed face.

Logan stepped forward, his eyes narrowed. Jay and Emily glanced at each other. Emily noticed that Jay was sweating from nerves, she gulped and turned her attention back to her brother.

"I've got two words to say to you two" he told them.

"W-What?"

"At last!" he said, then he burst out laughing. Jay grinned as he turned to Emily, who had buried her face in her hands.

"Leave it to you to embarrass me!" Emily said, through her hands. Jay looked at his watch and gasped.

"Uh . . . Ems?" he questioned her apprehensively.

"Yeah?"

"Um . . . it's eight o' clock" he told her.

"What about it?"

"The Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin starts in half an hour" Emily shot up as if she'd received an electric shock.

"Oh god!" she squeaked as she ran up into the girls' dormitories, ready to get changed. Jay's shoulders shook, then he burst out laughing.

"What?" Lily asked him.

"It's only seven" he told her "I just thought I'd see how fast she could get changed" All the men started laughing. The women didn't look too pleased. Rose rolled her eyes and tutted.

"That's so typical of you"

"Actually, I think I'm gonna go down to the Great Hall, I don't want to face her wrath" he said, then rushed out of the Gryffindor common room. Logan looked to Cherry, who visibly paled and clutched her stomach. Lily looked at her in alarm.

"Are you alright?"

"I don't feel so good" she whispered, then ran into the toilets to be sick. Sally looked alarmed. Logan tried his best not to look concerned, but he was failing miserably. Resigning to the fact that he had been acting immature for the last few weeks, he stepped outside the toilets and gingerly knocked on the door.

"Can I come in?" he asked. The door opened and Logan walked in.

"Look" Logan ran a hand through his hair "I'm sorry. I've been acting like an absolute jerk and I took your rejection badly, but that was no way to act. Sorry" He told her and bit his lip "Is there any way that you can forgive me?" he asked. Cherry threw her arms around his neck, then burst into tears.

"I-I thought you hated me" she choked through her tears "Please understand that I turned you down because of my family. They-they have a thing against, well . . ." she trailed off, looking at him apologetically. Logan nodded.

"I understand. I'm really sorry I took it so personally" Cherry nodded.

"It's alright" she then bit her lip as she paled again "I really don't feel so good"

"I think I might know" Lily told her.

"What is it?" Logan asked. Lily pushed something into Cherry's hand.

"Take it and see what the results are" she told her and left the toilets. Cherry's eyes widened when she realized what it was.

"Um . . . Logan, could you leave the toilet for a moment?" she asked him. Logan nodded, kissed her on the cheek and left. Cherry did the test, then looked at the little strip in front of her. Her eyes widened when it showed positive. Cherry was pregnant! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Amanda, at the time, was trying her best to not be intimidated by one Severus Snape. As long as her daughter trusted him, then Amanda felt that she could also.

"So, you um, you're one of my daughter's best friends?" she asked him, timidly. Snape nodded.

"I suppose you could say that" he told her as he stirred the cauldron. He noticed that she was rather pale and shaking uncontrollably.

"I understand if you don't want to be here. There's a Quidditch match in half an hour, why don't you go and get something to eat and then go to the stands? You'll feel a lot more comfortable, just be aware of Lucius Malfoy" he told her. She nodded, feeling scared.

"What will Malfoy do if he sees me? Will he kill me?" she whispered. Snape shook his head.

"He can't do that under the nose of Albus Dumbledore, but he can do other things that can affect you mentally. Just be careful" he said, trying to not let the concern show on his face. She nodded and shakily made to leave the dungeons, she stopped at the last minute.

"Will you come with me?" she asked. Snape's head shot up.

"What?" he asked sharply.

"Well, I'm scared of being alone and-and if Malfoy's after me, then he won't try and attack me if someone else is there with me"

"Having me there isn't a wise idea. Don't forget that Lucius Malfoy believes that I'm a Death Eater also, he will become suspicious as to why I'm walking and talking with you civilly when the Dark Lord has requested that any Death Eater whom is to come across you either kills you or . . . something else" He trailed off, not really wanting to scare the women any more. She looked on the verge of tears, yet she nodded and left. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Harry walked into the changing rooms, smiling encouragingly at Emily, who looked extremely sick.

"Don't worry Ems, Ron was the same in his first match, you'll do great, I promise" Harry assured her. Emily nodded, but didn't say anything. Angelina strode over to her and whispered something into Emily's ear. Emily laughed nervously.

"I'll do the best I can" she told the team. The Gryffindor team smiled.

"Good luck Emily" Fred winked at her. She smiled weakly as she stood next to Harry, ready to mount. Ron stood on the other side of her and patted her back.

"Just forget about the crowd and think of it as Quidditch practice" Emily stood frozen.

"I-I don't think I can do this" she whispered, looking terrified "What if I do something wrong?"

"Stop thinking negative" Alicia said gently "If you think negative, you'll do badly" Emily smiled inwardly, her brother had said exactly the same thing when she was doing Chaser tryouts. Suddenly, a whistle sounded out from the Quidditch pitch, signaling for the Gryffindor team to go. Harry and Ron smiled encouragingly at Emily one last time as they set off.

"And we have a new Chaser on Gryffindor folks! Miss Emily Lupin!" Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor end as Emily took place next to Angelina and Alicia. Harry smiled, Emily would do fine, he knew that much. He'd seen her at Chaser tryouts and she was brilliant. Looking up, he saw his rival: Draco Malfoy. Forgetting about Emily, he focused on getting the Snitch. It hadn't been let loose yet.

"And there goes the Bludgers!" Jordan called out "There goes the Snitch and the Quaffle is released!" As the Quaffle was thrown into the air, Emily caught it and sped off to the Slytherin goals.

"Come on Lupin! Gryffindor scores! 10-0 to Gryffindor! Well done to Lupin, I must say, she's a brilliant player and a rather attractive girl too"

"Jordan!" McGonagall warned.

"OI! THAT'S MY GIRL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" Jay shouted. Everyone in the Gryffindor stands quietened down and stared at Jay in astonishment and disbelief. Jordan grinned.

"Sorry Black, didn't know. Oh and look, Alicia has the Quaffle! She shoots, she scores!" Jordan cried. Harry cheered along with his house. They were doing well so far, yet he knew that the Slytherins would start playing dirty soon enough. It started as soon as Alicia had scored! The two Beaters of the Slytherin team had started bashing the Bludgers towards Alicia and Angelina, but it was luckily blocked by Fred and George. Emily whizzed past them and scored another goal, making the score 30-0 to Gryffindor.

Suddenly, Harry's heart did a double-flip. He'd seen the Snitch! He dived down at full speed on his Firebolt.

"Oh and Potter's seen the Snitch!" Jordan shouted. Suddenly, a Bludger came whizzing past Harry's ear. He'd narrowly missed it. All the Gryffindors were outraged.

"YOU CHEATING FOULING STUPID B-"

"JORDAN! IF I HEAR ANOTHER BAD WORD COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, YOU WILL GET DETENTION FOR THE NEXT MONTH!" McGonagall screamed. Jordan eventually calmed down, but he still looked angry. Harry flew around the pitch. He'd lost the Snitch and he couldn't see it anywhere. Suddenly, there were gasps from the Gryffindor end. Malfoy had seen the Snitch, but looking up, he saw something that made his heart stop. A Beater from the Slytherin team had aimed a Bludger right at Emily. It was heading right for her and she hadn't noticed, but the problem was, it was heading for her neck! If it hit her Adams apple, she'd die! Now Harry had a dilemma. Get the Snitch . . . or save Emily's life!
