"Why are you hear?" she asked not turning around

"Because I still love you" he said walking over to her. She could feel him right behind her and she turned around to become face to face with Josh

"Don't" she said silently avoiding his eyes. He leaned in and kissed her and she pulled away quickly

"Just leave me alone" she said. She tried to walk about but he grabbed her arm

"I can't do that" he said turning her to face him

"Why!?" she asks tears forming in her eyes

"Because I love you" he said still holding her arm

"Do you have any idea how much you hurt me, and even more how much you hurt Cheri!? I know she's trying to act tough so I won't be worried, but you should see her, she driving herself insane over you" Millie said

"Oh god, look ill talk to you later" he said running out of the hall and into the great hall. When he got there he looked for the Gryffindor flag and ran to that table. .when he didn't see her he ran to the closest person to him

"Do you know where I can find a girl named Cheri woods?" he asked

"No but, ask Sirius. He usually knows" the girl says

"Who's Sirius?" he asked

"Him" she said pointing at Sirius. So he ran over to Sirius

"Hey, your Sirius right?" he asked out of breath

"Yea, are you ok?" Sirius asked

"Fine, do you know where Cheri is?" he asked

"Why?" Sirius asked defendingly

"I need to talk to her" josh said

"OK, she said something about going outside to talk to Remus" Sirius said

"Ok, thanks" he said running outside, and sure enough he recognized her sitting on the bench.

"What's wrong?" he asked sitting next to her. She almost fell off the bench but instead stood up and back away

"How the hell did you get here!?" she asked

"Dumbledore said I could visit, seeing in how I already know about everything, and since I've been missing" he says walking towards her

"Stay away from me josh" Cheri said still backing away

"What do you think I'm going to rape you or something?" he asked still walking towards

"No, but still" she said

"But still what?" he asked

"I don't care about anything anymore, do you have any idea how much you hurt me?"

"I" he started

"I doubt you could've of done worse even if I was the one you tried to rape" she said. That made him shut up. He kind of just looked at her

"I'm sorry" he says

"Sorry for what exactly?" she asks

"For everything" he says

"Can I ask you something, why did you run?" Cheri asked now trying to calm down and stop crying

"Because I didn't want to go to jail" he says

"And you couldn't even call me? Do you think I would've turned you in?" she asks

"I" he started

"I don't want to know, just stay away from me" she said walking away. Josh started to walk back to the castle

"Are you Josh?" Remus voice came from behind him

"Yea why?" he asked turning around

"Just wanted to tell you something" Remus said before punching him and walking away

"What the hell?" he said holding his now bloody nose. After he cleared it up he went to find Millie but bumped into Sirius on the way

"What happened to Cheri?" Sirius asked

"What do you mean?" he asked

"Well I saw her crying" Sirius said.

Oh, that just some stuff that happened while ago" he said. Sirius taking it the wrong was pinned him to the wall

"What did you do to her?" Sirius asked threateningly

"Nothing, I swear" he said nervously

"Then what happened?" Sirius asked. And so josh explained everything

"And you expect her to forgive you?" Sirius asked

"Well yea" josh said

"Millie maybe, but honestly Cheri?" Sirius asked again

"I didn't say it would be simple, but I'm hoping she will" josh said

"Good luck on that one, and what happened to your nose?" Sirius asked

"I don't know some guy punched me" josh said

"Really what did he look like?" Sirius asked

"About the same height as you, and dirty blonde spiked hair" josh said

"Probably Remus, which mean Cheri probably told him, which means he probably your worst enemy right now" Sirius said

"Why?" josh asked

"Because that's Millie's new boyfriend" Sirius said walking away. Josh stood there for a moment banging his head against the wall. Before walking away to find mille. After searching forever he remembered Dumbledore giving him the password to the Gryffindor common room. So he went there. After he stepped through the portrait he saw that she wasn't there. And there was only other person that was

"Do you know where Millie is?" josh asked

"Um, up there" James said not paying attention and pointing up the girls staircase

"Thanks" he says walking towards them he started walking up them when they turned into a slide send9ing him back down on his ass

"Oh, yea I forgot to tell you they did that" James said walking over to him

"Yea, thanks" he said

"Ill go get her for you" James said

"Wait, how come you can get up the stairs?" josh asked as he watched James walk up them with no problems

"Because I'm a marauder" James said smiling leaving josh there thinking. He knew he heard of them. The pranksters but that didn't have anything to do with him getting up the stairs. Maybe because there also the four smartest ones

"Milling there a guy waiting downstairs for you" James said walking carelessly into the dorm and falling onto lily's bed

"Yea, don't knock James, and what does he look like?" Millie asked whipping her eyes

"I don't know he must be new, he's kind of tall with brown hair, blue eyes and not that built" James said dully opening lily top drawer and pulling out her diary

"James put that down! And go tell josh I don't want to see him" Millie said snatching the book from him and putting it back in the draw.

"So who is this kid?" James asked

"And old friend" Millie said

"So why don't you want to see him?" James asked curiously taking the diary back out, only for it to be snatched out of his hands again. And for millionth time that day the story of what happened with josh was explained

"Oh" James said getting up and putting the diary in hi pocket he walked towards the door

"James! Put the book back" Millie said

"Come get it" James said teasingly. She walked over to him and tried reaching in his pocket but it wasn't there

"Looking for this?" James said holding the book about his head

"Yea, now give it to me" Millie demanded

"Grab it" he said

"You know I can't reach that high" Millie said

"Fine, but only because you've had a rough day" James says handing her lily's diary and leaving the room. He walked down the stairs and josh was on the couch

"She's not there" James lied

"Yea right, I heard her yell at you" josh said getting up

"No that was someone else" James said

"Look I know her voice" josh said

"Really? It might have changed over the last few years" James said

"So you know too, great, why doesn't she write a book" josh said referring to Millie

"Don't talk about her like that" James said in a more threatening tone

"Well I'm mad that she wont talk to me" Josh said, little did he know Millie was sitting at the top of the stair listening

"And you honestly expect her too" James said almost yelling

"Yea" josh said

"She's been acting weird since she got back, and I'm glad I know why now. She's barely talking, eating or from what I heard she not sleeping much either. Three guesses why" James said

"Yea I know why, but I want to change things" josh said

"Yea you want to sweep her off her feet again so you can break her heart. Again" James said harshly

"James come on" Millie said grabbing his arm and taking him out of the room

"What?" he asks when they stepped out

"I just couldn't listen to it anymore, but thanks for sticking up for me" she said

Wow, sorry I haven't updated for while. I had this written but then my computer erased it. So I had to re write it. It's not as good but it will work for now. Hope you enjoyed it.
