Without thinking, Harry sped down to Emily. He couldn't risk losing a friend! Emily had now noticed the Bludger and had frozen out of sheer fear. Harry flattened himself out on the broom to make it go faster. 'Come on, faster, faster!' he urged in his mind. Everyone watching the Quidditch match had stopped to watch the scene in horror. The Bludger was now mere inches from her.

"EMILLYYYYY!" Harry screamed, quickly grabbing a hold of her and just missing the Bludger himself. Emily, who had had her eyes shut, opened them to find herself in Harry's arms.

"Emily, try and get round the back of the broom" Harry whispered to her. She nodded and quickly slung her leg around to the back of the broom and grabbed Harry from the back, around his stomach, her chin resting on the back of his shoulder.

"Now, HANG ON TIGHT!" He yelled and with that, he sped off, after the Snitch.

"Amazing! Potter's managed to save Lupin and is now after the Snitch!" Jordan bellowed. Malfoy had his hand mere inches from the Snitch until . . .

"ARGGGHHH!" Fred laughed at the Bludger that had just broken Malfoy's hand. He grinned and gave George the thumbs-up. Harry sped down to Malfoy, Emily screaming behind him. They were now neck-and-neck.

"You think you'll get the Snitch Potter? Well you're wrong!" Malfoy shouted.

"Think what you want Malfoy! We're gonna win!" Harry yelled back at him. Harry flattened himself against the broom, Emily, more or less, lying on top of him from keeping her arms around his stomach. At the last minute, Harry put on a burst of speed, did a back-flip and sped upwards, his fist clutching . . . . The Snitch! The Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff houses all burst into cheers and applause. It had been an amazing match to see. For the first time, a team member had managed to save another team member's life and catch the Snitch!

"The score makes it 180-0! Gryffindor wins! Well done to Potter!" Jordan screamed into the microphone. As Harry descended to the ground, Emily toppled off, then grabbed a hold of Harry; she swayed, looking incredibly pale.

"I think I'm gonna be sick" she whispered. Lupin, Sally, Logan and Jay ran over to her, looking concerned, yet happy that she was alive.

"You're alright" Sally cried, hugging Emily. Lupin shook Harry's hand.

"Thank you so much Harry! You saved her!" Harry waved it away.

"Hey, that's what friends do, isn't it? They protect each other, no matter what" Lupin beamed at him, while Logan was busy fussing over Emily. Jay approached Harry and hugged him.

"Thank you so much!" He cried "If anything had happened to her, I don't know what I would've done" Harry smiled sympathetically as he hugged Jay back. Lily and James ran over to him.

"Son, that was amazing. I'm proud of you" James told him "Even if you hadn't have gotten the Snitch, you saved another person's life" Lily nodded, tears streaming down her face.

"We thought you were going to get hit" she whispered.

"Hey, if it had hit me, I would've only have gotten hit on the head, whereas the Bludger was actually headed for Emily's neck, if it had hit her, she most probably would have died" Everyone looked shocked at this news.

"Let's go indoors, I think Emily and Harry have had enough excitement for one day" they all agreed and entered Hogwarts.

Cherry kept feeling ill. She couldn't tell anyone, especially her father. How long had she been pregnant? Thankfully, it hadn't started to show, but she was still scared. Going to see Snape, she shakily knocked on the door.

"Enter" replied the curt voice of Snape. Cherry couldn't be bothered to roll her eyes; it felt like using too much energy. She quickly walked in and shut the door. Snape raised an eyebrow at her sudden entry.

"Are you alright? Well actually, I don't need to ask, it's obvious you're not alright otherwise you wouldn't look so pale" Cherry felt like throwing up.

"I look pale?!" she whispered, looking terrified. Snape nodded.

"What's wrong?" he asked, standing up and walking over to her. Cherry lowered her gaze to the floor, unable to stare Snape in the eye. Snape put his hands on her shoulders, looking concerned.

"Tell me" Cherry's eyes watered as she turned to stare Snape in the eyes.

"I'm pregnant . . . I'm pregnant with Logan's child" she whispered. Snape froze.

As it entered June and everyone started packing up to go home for the summer holidays. Harry chatted merrily with Emily and Jay.

"You guys can come and see me during the hols. I wouldn't mind spending some time with my mum and dad though, ya know?" Emily and Jay nodded in understanding.

"No problem Prongs Jr" Jay said with a grin "We'll catch you later" Harry embraced them both with hugs. Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail and Lils were all looking rather lost.

"What about us?" Moony asked.

"Ah, that's no problem at all" James said with a grin "Lils and my younger self come with us three, Padfoot, you go with Jay, Sirius and Rose-" Padfoot looked doubtful.

"Just so long as they're not always snogging, I don't mind" Jay laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm probably gonna play a few pranks anyway"

"Moony, you go with your older self, Logan, Emily and Sally and-"

"What about me?" Peter asked, looking upset.

"We'll take him" Lupin said, forcing a smile. James and Sirius nodded.

"Right now that that's settled, let's go home!" Lily said, sounding excited.

"Wait!" A voice squeaked out. Harry turned around and saw to his surprise, that it was Dobby!

"Dobby?! What are you doing here?!" Harry asked incredulously.

"Dobby just wanted to come and say goodbye to Harry Potter sir. Dobby won't be seeing Harry Potter for a long time and Dobby wishes to give kind and noble Harry Potter a present for his birthday next month!" he told him. Dobby presented him with a scarf with little snitches on it. Harry smiled.

"Thanks Dobby!" Harry reached down and gave the House-Elf a hug. Jay, Emily, James and Lily looked at the House-Elf in amazement.

"He used to belong to the Malfoy's until I helped free him" Harry said with a grin.

"Yes, Harry Potter is kind and he treats Dobby like an equal!" Dobby exclaimed "Harry Potter is modest and great!" Harry blushed.

"Uh . . . thanks Dobby" Dobby beamed at him.

"I will be seeing you next year Harry Potter sir?" Harry nodded and made to leave, but stopped.

"Wait! Did Dumbledore say I was allowed to go straight home with you guys? Or do I have to go to the Dursley's?" Harry questioned, looking worried.

"No, you come straight home with us" James assured him.

"Oh, alright" he said, looking excited and with that, they walked into the Gryffindor fireplace and yelled out "Godric's Hollow!"

Harry stared around in awe at his home. It was amazing! The room that they'd entered was an emerald green. In front of him was a sofa, which he plopped himself on and stared around him. There was a well furnished sofa and a brilliantly polished wooden table next to the sofa, near a TV, which would come in useful at nights when there was nothing to do.

"Your friend Dobby is a very strange fellow, isn't he?" James asked, sitting down next to him. Harry grinned.

"Maybe so, but he's a very kind elf, he does almost anything for me" Lily sat down on the other side of Harry.

"It's nice that you treat House-Elves with the same respect as you give to people. They deserve it" Harry nodded. Prongs and Lils just stood there awkwardly.

"Um . . . do we have a room?" Prongs asked.

"Sure" James stood up and motioned for Prongs and Lils to follow him.

Harry leaned back and grinned from ear-to-ear, he was so happy. This was going to be the first summer with his parents! It was hard to believe, but it was true.

"Look at us! The sun's out and we're not sunbathing!" Lily exclaimed.

"Can't I at least settle in first, mum? Please?" Harry asked. Lily smiled.

"Alright, let me show you to your room" Lily stood up, hauling Harry up along with her. Harry groaned as he carried his trunk up the stairs. Panting heavily, he settled the trunk down on reaching the tenth step.

"Look on the bright side, only twenty more steps to go!" Lily told him. Harry clung tightly to the trunk so as not to let it fall.

"Need some help from your dear old dad?" James asked, seeing Harry struggle. Harry nodded, while panting heavily.

"Yes . . . please!" he gasped. James quickly got a strong hold on the other end of the trunk and together, as father and son, they lifted the trunk to the top. Both of them were panting heavily by the time they reached the landing.

"My word! You two males are so unfit!" Lily exclaimed. James and Harry both glared at her.

"Would you like to be the one to carry a trunk upstairs all on your *own*?" Harry questioned her. Lily chuckled.

"Not really, no"

"Then don't lecture us on how unfit we are!" James warned her "Or we might have to give you the tickle torture" Harry laughed.

Cherry moaned. She was definitely starting to show. Why couldn't she have just been a normal person? Why was she destined to be the 'Dark Lord's' daughter? She sat down, drinking a cup of coffee, feeling miserable, her mother seated opposite her. They were now back at Cherry's place in a wizarding apartment, not far from Godric's Hollow.

"So, are you going to tell him?" Amanda questioned her. Cherry shrugged.

"I would, but then he'd want it to go public. I can't risk it" Amanda nodded sympathetically.

"When you have the child, what are you going to call it?" Amanda asked.

"Well . . ." she stopped. She wanted to share this with Logan. Oh, how she wanted to, but she couldn't.

"Well, if it's a girl, then I want to call it Lily. I've always loved that name. Lily Lupin? Sounds good, doesn't it? I'm not copying it from Lily Potter!" Cherry told her mother. Amanda nodded.

"Lily's a lovely name, how about if it was a boy?"

"Um . . . what do you think of Jonathon? Jonathon Lupin? I dunno. Never really thought about a boys' name. Or . . . Or, how about Oliver?" Cherry trailed off, not really sure. Amanda put her hand over Cherry's and squeezed it.

"Don't worry. You can worry about all that when the baby is born! Oh, and I read that there's a 50-50 chance of the baby not being a werewolf, seeing as you aren't one" Cherry looked hopeful.

"Not being horrible to Logan in any way, but I'm sort of hoping that it doesn't turn out to be a werewolf" Amanda smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'd feel the same way if he knew" Little did either of the two know, that their conversation had been overheard . . . by Lucius Malfoy!
