Emma knocked on Bo's door. Since the thing with his mum he'd felt really angry. Kara had tried to comfort him but she'd come out rather annoyed. Bo and her had been shouting and Emma, Harry, Hermione and Rhia had heard from the kitchen.
"Who is it?" Bo muttered from inside. Emma put her head against the door.
"It's Emma." She said gently. There was silence in the room. Emma sighed and turned ready to go and join Ginny, who was trying to catch Kaylee, after Kaylee had stolen her broom. The door opened behind her.
"Emma" Bo said. Emma turned and smiled. Bo was standing in the doorway. He looked as though he hadn't gotten out of bed. All he was actually wearing were his boxer shorts. There were a few scars over his stomach and chest, Emma knew there were more on his back.
"Do you want to talk?" Emma asked. Bo looked at her and gave her a soft smile and moved aside. Emma went into his room and Bo closed the door behind her and locked it. "I'm allowed in Bo's Haven." She said with a laugh, "Well, I must be privileged." Emma said. She turned and watched Bo walking back over to his bed.
"Yeah, incredibly" Bo said sarcastically. He flopped on his bed. Emma rolled her eyes and went to the bed and sat down next to Bo's still body.
"It's not your fault that your mum has gone. She was suffering from depression, your mum is an idiot." Emma said. Bo frowned into the pillow then looked at Emma. "Ok, so that's a bit harsh, but she is! Who'd leave you on your lonesome. Ok, sure you are seventeen and handsome and well off and really sweet and lovely but your mum is an idiot for leaving you on your own, just because she lost your dad. It's a bit pathetic but kinda sweet if you ask me." Emma said. Bo looked at her with a scowl.
"I didn't ask you." Bo said. "If you're gonna talk about my mum you can leave Emma." Bo said.
"Ok, no talking about your mum." Emma said with a smile. She forced Bo to roll over so that she had more space on the bed. He lay on his back staring at Emma. "So, how are you feeling?" She asked.
"I don't know. Why are you so happy?" Bo asked. Emma lay on the bed next to him and put her head on her hand.
"I don't know." Emma said. "Well, I do know. I met this really cool guy at St. Mungos." Emma said. She traced a few of Bo's scars with her fingers. They were just so cool.
"A guy?" Bo asked. "What's he called?" He asked, Emma smiled.
"Jason, he's so amazing, he's smart, fit, responsible and he wants to go out with me, even if mum and dad say no." She said. She turned onto her front and propped her chin in her hands.
"Why would they say no?" Bo asked
"He's nineteen." Emma sighed. She turned back to Bo and traced a particularly long scar that ran the length of Bo's stomach, up past his chest and nearly to his shoulders. Bo's body itself was really very nice. He tried to keep himself fit for the Transformations, which meant a lot of exercise, which meant a body to die for. Emma had always wondered why he'd got that particularly long scar. He'd never told her, she knew Harry and Jessie knew.
"Bo." Emma said.
"Hmm." He said, just staring at her and enjoying her touch on his chest.
"Where did you get this scar from?" She asked. Bo looked down and followed Emma's hands.
"Oh, well, one of my transformations." He said.
"I know that. But how did you get it?" Emma said, "You won't tell me!" She pouted slightly. Bo smirked.
"That's because if I told you, you'll get a little angry with the person responsible." Bo said.
"No I won't, please!" Emma begged. Bo shook his head. "I won't touch you ever again and I won't give you hugs and I won't be nice to you." She said, moving her hand away from Bo's chest. Bo caught her hand and laughed.
"Ok." He said. Emma grinned and sat up.
"So?"
"Your dad did it." Bo said. Emma frowned. "Well, Prongs did. He was trying to control me in one of my transformations a few years ago."
"The one where you met me in the woods?" Emma asked.
"No, not that one." Bo said, he looked away for a moment before looking back at Emma. "You remember that?" Emma smiled.
"It's one of my earliest memories." She said. Bo smiled.
"It's one of my best." He said.
"Well it would be wouldn't it?" Emma teased, "I was in it."
"True, all my best memories do have you in them, well most of them." Bo said thoughtfully.
"Just proves that you love me, no matter what you say." Emma said hitting Bo lightly on the arm.
"No I don't." Bo said, rolling his eyes.
"You do, admit it." Emma said. Bo shook his head.
"I'm not falling in love with a player like you." Bo said with a smile. Emma gave him a shrewd look for a moment.
"You're horrible." Emma said.
"But truthful, you admit it this time. You are a female player." Bo said. Emma couldn't help grinning.
"I can't help it if boys keep falling madly in love with me." She said in a posh accent.
"What like Dennis Creevey?" Bo asked. Emma smiled cheekily.
"He wasn't my fault." Emma said.
"He proposed to you Emma!"
"I maintain that was not my fault." Emma said.
"Ok, how about Seamus?" Bo asked. Emma laughed.
"He's a gimp." Emma said.
"What other boys are there?" Bo asked. Emma shrugged innocently. "You're so lucky I don't tell Harry."
"NO! Don't tell him. He'll kill me and all the boys in the school!" Emma said urgently. "Don't tell him, for my sake, please!" Emma pretended to break down crying. Bo had completely forgotten his bitter feelings towards his mum and grief for his dad. Emma put her head against Bo's shoulder as he laughed at her. A grin formed on her face so he couldn't see.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." Bo said. Emma nodded, "And Orion and Rhia and Kara, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and everyone else who's too afraid to tell Harry." Bo said. Emma grinned widely.
"Thanks." She gave Bo a quick peck on the cheek. "You're one of my bestest friends." She said. Bo pouted
"Why not your best friend?" He asked.
"Rhia is my best friend." Emma said. "Then you then Kara." Emma said brightly.
"Ginny?"
"Oh yeah, and Ginny" Emma said. "You know you want to dump Kara and come with me."
"Sorry, you'll just play me like everyone else." Bo said, "I know you." He put a finger to Emma's forehead. Emma batted his hand away.
"Why do you have to be so difficult!" Emma said.
"It's not like you love me back." Bo said.
"True." Emma agreed. "Well, I would probably cheat on you and then blame you for everything anyway. I think you're better off with Kara." Bo laughed and put his arms around Emma. Emma laughed and tried to struggle free.
"You are too truthful young lady." Bo said. Emma told him to let go as she felt his fingers begin to tickle her.
"Please, Bo. Don't tickle me, don't!" She screamed in laughter. Bo laughed and stopped. Emma lay on his chest and hit him lightly. "You're a bastard."
"I know." Bo muttered.
"Well, I have to go, Rhia wants me to help her with her song." Emma kissed his chest quickly. "Bye." She got up and skipped to the door.
"You have got to let me hear you one day." Bo said. Emma laughed as she opened the door.
"Maybe." She said. She closed the door behind her leaving Bo smiling slightly. Emma grinned as she closed the door. Men were like putty in her hands, Bo would be after her in no time, but she wasn't particularly fussed at that moment. She had Jason. A Healer, she grinned at the thought and went to her bedroom where Rhia was in the process of kicking the life out of her amplifier. Kara seemed too scared to go near her.
"Whoa, Rhia!" Kara said, "Calm down."
"No I will NOT calm down!" Rhia screamed at her. Emma closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Emma asked, her happiness disappeared within a second.
"Harry!" Rhia said, "That's what's wrong!" Emma looked at Kara confused.
"What about him?" Emma asked.
"He's going out with Hermione!" Rhia screamed. "They told Ron today! ARGH!" Rhia turned and kicked over her electric keyboard and slammed her foot into the amplifier. Her screams of frustration were soon replaced with screams of pain as she hopped to her bed and pulled the duvet over her as she jumped in. Emma ran over to the bed, jumping over the broken amplifier.
"Rhia, it's not that big a deal." Emma said.
"It is!" Rhia cried, "He's supposed to be with me." Kara got up and joined Emma on Rhia's bed.
"Well, we could see it coming though, you told me yourself that they were kissing at Godric's Hollow." Kara said as Emma put a hand on Rhia's back. She seemed to be crying, her face was buried in a pillow.
"Come on Rhia, you said yourself that Harry doesn't love you like that. You weren't even expecting him to give you a second look." Emma said. Rhia pushed Emma's hand off her back and pulled the duvet around her more completely.
"Leave me alone." She muttered. Kara and Emma looked at each other uncertainly. Rhia hadn't reacted like this when Harry had dated Cho. Rhia had gone a bit quiet but other then that she was fine. Of course, they realised that maybe Harry could have done a few things differently. When he had taken Rhia to the Yule ball Rhia had talked to no end about how great it was, how great He was. Emma got so sick of hearing Rhia talking about Harry but now she just wanted to go and punch her brother in the face. Emma nodded to the door and Kara got up. They left the room as silently as they could.
"Rhia definitely isn't taking it well" Emma said.
"Wow, what gave you that impression?" Kara asked.
"The fact that she was screaming and-" Emma looked at Kara, who was smirking in amusement. "Get lost. But what do we do about it?"
"Get April?" Kara asked.
"Rhia won't talk to April about boy troubles." Emma said.
"Sirius?" Kara suggested. Emma looked at Kara with a nod.
"And if we can't find Sirius, Rhia's known for talking to my mum as well."
"Then off we go to find the adults." Kara said. They started down the stairs when they were stopped by Ginny.
"Order meeting." Ginny whispered. Emma scowled as Ginny looked over the banister. Orion had a piece of fleshy coloured string in his ear. Harry and Ron were pressed up against the door while Hermione was sitting on the bottom step, reading a book.
"What's so important about this one?" Kara asked.
"It's about Jenny." Ginny said. "They're trying to find her."
"What's happened to Jenny?" Emma asked.
"Voldemort got her." Kaylee muttered from above them. Emma looked up to see Kaylee and Jessie hanging from hooks on the wall. Emma scowled.
"What are you doing up there?" Kara asked.
"Ginny." Kaylee muttered. Both twins had their arms crossed and glared at Ginny. Ginny smiled and went around Hermione and to the door.
"It's impossible, why would Jenny go to Voldemort at her own free will?" April shouted at Lily.
"I don't know but you of all people should know what she's been thinking recently!" Lily shouted back at April. "You know she's so upset she'd do something like that just to get killed!" James stood between the two shouting women.
"April, Lily, please! We aren't getting anything done by shouting at each other." James snapped at the two.
"Fine, where do you think Jenny is then James?" April asked.
"I don't know." James snapped at her. "How am I supposed to know?"
"You're the Minister!" April said.
"Well you're head auror!" James snapped. Sirius rolled his eyes and banged his head on the table.
"What so I'm supposed to know everything?" April asked, "I've just lost my partner to politics!" She said like the word was the worst thing that could be said.
"Oh god, my husband is a politician." Lily said putting a hand against her forehead.
"What's wrong with that?" James asked Lily.
"Nothing darling." Lily said in a sweet voice.
"Anyway, back to Jenny-" Sirius said. He waited to see what would happen.
"It's all your fault!" April and Lily said, turning on Sirius. Sirius looked incredibly stunned.
"What-why? My fault?" Sirius asked.
"Yes." April said.
"How'd you figure that?" Came Jenny's voice.
"Because it's Sirius' stupid house elf that tricked Harry into going to the Ministry. If you'd just let that house elf free like Hermione said then Jenny wouldn't be standing right here!" James said pointing to where Jenny stood in the middle of the kitchen, having just apparated from Voldemort's office.
"Jenny!" Lily said, pulling Jenny into a hug. "Where have you been? Voldemort told me you were with him." Lily let go.
"Um, I was with him." Jenny said quietly. "I had to see him about something." Jenny muttered.
"What about?" James asked. Jenny bit her lip and clenched her fists. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." Jenny said. She put her arms behind her back and held onto her forearm. It burned so badly, how was anyone able to cope with it day after day? Lily scowled, as did April.
"Sit down, you've been missing for a while and Bo really needs to talk to you." April said. Jenny stopped.
"Bo." Jenny said nervously. "I kind of forgot about him. Um, how is he?" She asked.
"You forgot about Bo?" Sirius asked, "Merlin, you're worse then me!" April shot him a sharp look and Sirius shut up.
"Well I didn't forget about him, I've just been really busy and I've had stuff to do and-"
"It's alright, Jenny." Lily said with a smile. "Have something to eat. Molly left so that we could have a discussion, she'll be back in a minute." Jenny nodded and sat down opposite Sirius. She tapped her fingers on the surface of the table. Sirius put a hand over hers after it started to become intensely annoying.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Sirius asked. Jenny nodded.
"I'm fine." Jenny said. "Just fine. I think I should see Bo." Jenny said standing up.
"Ok, he's in the spare bedroom." Lily said. "And Jenny." Jenny turned to look at Lily.
"Don't try and hurt him." April finished for Lily. "He won't see anyone except Emma." Jenny smiled slightly. She knew how much Bo loved Emma. He's gone to her several times in the past when he'd been upset about Emma being too young or not available or what ever reason. Jenny opened the door suddenly. Harry and Ron lost their balance and fell through the now empty doorway while Orion was perched in a crouch.
"Harry!" James said. Harry got to his feet.
"Dad! Nice to see you at last." Harry said, pretending to be overjoyed.
"What did you three hear?" Sirius asked, getting to his feet.
"Do you want an exact quote?" Ron asked. The adults looked at them and Ron cleared his throat. "ok....spare bedroom...try...wont...except Emma...HARRY!" Ron said.
"Don't be funny." Lily said to Ron.
"Yes Lily." Ron said rather quickly.
"But that's what we heard." Orion protested. April went to Orion and held his arm.
"You are going to your bedroom and staying there." April said.
"No! Don't leave me with Jaylee!" Orion said.
"Jaylee?" James asked.
"Jessie and Kaylee." Harry told him. April pulled Orion after her. Kaylee and Jessie were now on the stairs trying to inspect their backs but were going around in circles.
"You two, bed. It's nearly midnight." April said. Kaylee and Jessie ran off and Orion followed them, dragging his feet. April saw Ginny and Hermione disappearing into their room and Emma and Kara sitting outside theirs.
"What are you two doing out of your room?" April asked.
"Rhia's crying." Emma said. April frowned.
"She is?" April asked. Kara nodded. April opened the bedroom door and went in. Rhia crying was never a good thing. She had barely opened the door and said Rhia's name when a keyboard pedal flew at her.
"Reducto!" April said instinctively to protect herself. The pedal shattered and Rhia looked up.
"Mum, get lost!" She shouted.
"You need to talk to someone." April said.
"I don't need to talk to anyone." Rhia said. She picked up one of her school textbooks and was about to throw it when April nodded and left the room. She shut the door as a loud thud came from it. Emma gave April a smile.
"Had fun?" She asked.
"What happened to her?" April asked.
"Harry happened." Kara said. April scowled and turned to go downstairs. Harry and Ron were talking about something, April heard the word scar and dream but she wasn't too concerned right now. Sirius and James were having a heated debate over quidditch, again. Molly had returned and was helping Lily make something to eat. If April hadn't known any better, she could have thought that Lily was actually learning to cook from Molly. April had learnt to stay clear from most of Lily's cooking but it was getting a lot better recently.
"Sirius." April said putting her arms around Sirius' neck.
"Yes April." He said, his anger at James' insistence that the Harpies were going to lose disappeared from his face.
"You need to speak to your daughter, she's upset and angry and nearly killed me with her keyboard pedal" April said.
"Didn't you talk to her?" Sirius asked.
"You know how she prefers you over me. If you talk to her maybe she won't kill you." April said
"What's wrong?" James asked.
"I don't know, but Emma and Kara it has something to do with Rhia's love life." April said. She glanced at Harry, who looked determined to carry on his conversation with Ron, though Ron looked like he wanted to listen to the adults.
"Ah, I get it." Sirius said, "Be back in a minute people." He got up and left the room. April sat down in Sirius' empty seat and sighed.
"Teenagers." She muttered.
A/N:-Sorry aint updated in a while. I been REALLY busy. Damn School, Damn UCAS, Damn Unis, DAMN EVERYTHING TO HELL!! Sorry about my language, as you can see i'm really stressed. Which is really surprising as I weren't this stressed last year. Will you excuse me while i do something (hits head on wall) Why people? why do you make it so much harder for me to decide between Hermione and Rhia? WHY!!! URgh, this is really bugging me. I swear if i can't decide by next week I'll just kill both of htem to save me hte decision....it's what i always do, character Annoying you? why not kill him or her? always works! But as I said, while i decide what i'm going to do please put up with HArry and Hermione if you don't like it. If you do like it, well I like you too. But i don't really wanna make this a RonHermione fic but i will if i have to, tho i really am against that pairing. I also want to say....there is WAY too much slash art out there. Do you know how much NC-17 slash Art i found while searching HArry and Hermione pairing art? God, are people not normal in this world. And what's with the crossdressing of HArry Potter Characters, to my knowledge DRACO MALFOY IS NOT GAY!! neither is RON or HARRY and they DO NOT dress in womans clothes. JAmes would NOT have kissed or had sex with Sirius, especially in the post-hogwarts MWPP pics and the trio (HArry, Ron and HErmione) DO NOT have threesomes! Well that's my arty rant over with. But i have to admit that some slash art is done really well.
