Rhia sat with Emma in the library on one of the rare occasions that Emma wanted to work. Rhia didn't understand Emma at the moment. She seemed to be so angry it was scary. Rhia leafed through the parchment that was packed into a parcel. Emma looked away from her work and at the parchments that Rhia was looking at.
"What are you looking at?" She asked in a bored voice.
"Music." Rhia said. "I agreed that I'd do that thing for the Holyhead Harpies, so they sent me the playlist and music that they're performing." Rhia said in a hushed voice. "They said I can chose which pieces I play on the piano then they'll get their pianist to play the rest." Emma nodded and took a piece of parchment with a load of songs on it.
"This the playlist?" Emma asked. Rhia nodded as she looked at a particularly interesting piece of music. "Rhia Black: Lets do it lets fall in love, Day and Night, big spender, What is this thing called love…Rhia, half of these are Cole Porter songs." Emma said. She shrugged.
"I didn't chose them" Rhia said, "Catcher Stevens chose them" She muttered.
"Oh come on, Catcher Stevens is so good looking." Emma said, scanning the rest of the list. "Oh, you get to sing with him."
"Lucky me." Rhia said. "I have to find someone to help me practice the songs I sing with Catcher."
"Ask Harry." Emma muttered as she took some of the music. "This is all love and Christmas. Nothing interesting."
"All songs are about love, Emma. And I'm not asking your brother to sing." Rhia said.
"Why not, he's ok at singing." Emma said. She put the parchment back and looked around the library.
"And how would you know?" Rhia asked. Emma smirked at her best friend
"I've heard him singing in the shower." Emma laughed. Madam Pince hissed at them to be quiet.
"Well I could ask him." Rhia said. "Though, I could ask Orion but his voice just broke." Emma chuckled. Orion was now too embarrassed to even open his mouth. His voice had broken while he was talking to Ginny and that, to him, was the ultimate humiliation. Rhia was aware of her brother's crush on Ginny Weasley and she thought it was a little ridiculous.
"How about Bo?" Emma asked.
"I don't know if he can sing." Rhia said.
"Ha, true." Emma said. Across the Library Bo sat with Katie, helping her with her homework.
"No, you have to put moonstone there." Bo said with a grin.
"Oh be quiet." Katie said with a smile.
"And that's Wolfsbane." Bo said. Katie hit him lightly and Bo laughed softly. Katie laughed and then looked at Bo's homework.
"You haven't even done it." She said, "You can't be bossing me about if you haven't done it." Katie said.
"Yeah well." Bo said innocently. "I'm the head boy." Bo puffed out his chest as a joke to make a point. Katie poked him in the stomach and the two started laughing. Katie kissed the side of Bo's mouth.
"Ok, now do your own work." Katie said. Bo rolled his eyes and laughed. "You have to stir it three times." She said as Bo wrote down the potion they'd just done in Potions. Bo looked at Katie, who was looking around innocently. He went back to his work. "Then you let it simmer for five minutes." She said.
"Katie." Bo said in a mock warning voice.
"Yes Bo." She said sweetly.
"Please be quiet." Bo said sweetly. Katie put a finger to her mouth.
"That's a difficult thing to do." Katie said.
"Not really." Bo said. He kissed Katie gently on the lips. There was a sudden crash behind Katie. They broke apart and looked behind them. There was another crash and another. "Move!" Bo shouted as he pulled Katie away from the table as a huge bookshelf came tumbling down. It smashed the table as it came down and just knocked the next bookshelf off balance. The bookshelves went down in a domino effect. Students had realised what was happening. Bo turned to see Rhia and Emma just sitting there by the door.
"EMMA! RHIA!" Bo shouted. Rhia and Emma looked up and saw the bookshelves falling over. They packed their things quickly and ran out of the library. Madam Pince was aiming her wand at the bookshelves as they fell. Trying to get a good shot at them.
"Oh no." Katie muttered.
"Impedimenta" Madam Pince said. The bookshelf that would have fallen onto her desk froze and she looked around. Books had been flung everywhere. Tables were crushed but by the looks of things, no students had been hurt. Bo heard some books falling over. He turned around and saw Orion climbing sheepishly over a bookshelf. He seemed to try and get away unnoticed when Bo grabbed the back of Orion's shirt.
"Orion Black." Bo said.
"Ah! The anti-christ!" Orion said struggling to get away. Bo put his arms around the thirteen year olds chest, to stop him from running away.
"What did you do?" Bo said struggling with him.
"Nothing! It wasn't me, you can't prove I did anything!" Orion said very quickly. Bo glanced at Katie who smirked.
"It's ok Orion, just tell us if you did it and then we'll let you go." Katie said gently.
"You can't prove it was me." Orion said.
"Orion!" Mei called as she called over the bookshelf. "I found the lever you used." She said. Something was thrown over the bookshelf and then Mei appeared. Bo and Katie gave Orion the same doubtful look.
"Oops" He muttered. Madam Pince looked over and then, on seeing Orion, stormed over.
"Mr. Black!" She shouted. "Headmaster's office now!" Orion turned and glared at Mei who was whistling softly and walking away innocently.
"Mei Chang did it with me!" Orion said. Mei stopped and gave them all an innocent smile before trying to make a run. She got about a meter away before she ran into her older sister.
"Oh…crap" She said slowly. She turned to Orion who gave her a smirk.
"Headmaster, these two completely destroyed the library!" Madam Pince said pointing to Orion and Mei who stood sheepishly in front of Dumbledore. Dumbledore nodded.
"And how did they do this?" Dumbledore asked
"I'm not entirely sure but they caused all the library stacks to fall down like dominoes." Orion chuckled slightly but Mei stamped on his foot at Cho's look at her. Dumbledore's eyes sparkled slightly as he heard this. He looked at Orion and gave him a slight smile. Orion grinned.
"Well, as you cannot prove that Mr. Black and Miss. Chang destroyed the library I cannot do anything more then give them detentions. You two will assist Madam Pince and the head students in fixing the library." Dumbledore said.
"But I didn't do anything!" Mei said, "Orion dragged me with him again." Mei said.
"Mei Chang." Cho hissed at her. "Do not talk back to teachers."
"It is quite alright Cho." Dumbledore said holding his hand up. "Mei, I would like to remind you that you were found at the crime scene"
"But it was Orion who put the fireworks under the bookshelf in the first place" Mei mumbled to herself.
"Now now, Mei. I will assure you that I will not be telling your parents and neither will you sister" Dumbledore said looking at Cho.
"Yes sir." Cho grumbled. Bo smirked slightly at his cousins.
"As soon as school finishes all the prefects, the head students and you two will assist in the tidying of the library." Dumbledore said
"But Professor, I have some quidditch training to do." Cho said.
"Cho Chang, do not talk back to teachers" Mei said mimicking Cho. Cho hit her head from behind. "Ow." Mei said rubbing her head and looking at Cho.
"The team will not suffer and if you work efficiently you should be done by this weekend." Dumbledore said.
"Does that mean if we haven't finished we'll have to miss going to Hogsmeade?" Bo asked as the problem suddenly dawned on him.
"I'm afraid that it does Bo."
"I'm supposed to be meeting my mum." Bo said.
"I can always invite her into the school if need be. Now you may all go, I have some work to do." Dumbledore said. Madam Pince looked like she was about to protest but Dumbledore held up a hand. The two third years left as quickly as they could but Mei was caught by Cho moments after they were in the hall.
"Are you trying to get yourself expelled?" Cho asked Mei.
"No." Mei said.
"Then why do you keep being stupid?" Cho demanded.
"She's hardly stupid." Bo said to Cho.
"She is, by doing stupid things." Cho said.
"I think I prefer Bo." Mei said crossing her arms.
"Come on Mei." Orion said grabbing her hand and pulling her away. Cho was about to say something when Bo clapped a hand over her mouth.
"Remember what Dumbledore said." Bo said. Cho frowned and walked off muttering. Bo shrugged and strolled towards the Great Hall. His hands in his pockets, bag over one shoulder, despite being about a week until the full moon he felt great. He went through the great hall until he found Katie sitting with Scarlette.
"Hello." Bo said sitting down next to Katie.
"Hi." Katie said with a smile. She kissed his cheek.
"Bo, so what happened?" Scarlette asked.
"All prefects to help tidy up the library."
"What!" Scarlette asked. "No, I have homework and-"
"And we might be missing Hogsmeade weekend." Bo said. "If we get the library tidy quickly enough we can go." Scarlette stabbed a potato with her fork. Katie frowned.
"Aren't we supposed to be having dinner with your mum?" Katie asked. Bo nodded.
"We might have to cancel" Bo said. Katie nodded. "You're pleased about that aren't you?" Bo asked.
"Yes, I'm really nervous about meeting your mum." Katie said.
"It's nothing to be nervous about." Bo said. He gave Katie a quick kiss before getting some food for himself.
Bo walked sluggishly to the Hospital wing. They'd only just finished tidying the Library, it meant that he'd had to cancel on his mum and he was on the verge of killing Orion. Bo walked into the Hospital wing. Kaylee was sitting up in her bed swaying from side to side and singing to herself.
"How ya doing Kay?" Bo asked.
"I'm ok." She said with a smile. "I still get to have another week off school" She said with a grin. "I've already had two weeks off school. It's great." Kaylee said. She folded her hands together and pressed them into the duvet. She looked sweet and innocent in the bed. She had her usual cheeky grin.
"Your side still hurting?" Bo asked. Kaylee shook her head. Bo laughed and ruffled Kaylee's hair. Kaylee grinned up at him under messy hair. "Where's Lily?"
"Office." Kaylee said.
"Thanks" Bo said. He walked over to the office. Emma was slouched in a chair and glaring at her mum. Lily looked rather annoyed herself. "Hi." Bo said. Lily looked at him.
"Thank god you're here" Emma muttered.
"Emma!" Lily said sternly as she looked at Emma. Emma rolled her eyes and looked away. Lily turned back to Bo. "I'm really sorry but we don't actually have any Potion tonight. Emma came in here the other day and we had a talk." Lily said.
"So?" Bo said.
"She threw it on the floor." Lily said tiredly. "She's offered to keep you company during your transformation, even though I'd rather that she didn't."
"Mum, It's my choice and Bo won't hurt me anyway." Emma said getting up. She picked her jacket up off the back of the chair and swinging a drawstring bag onto her back. "Come on Bo." Bo watched Emma leave feeling slightly confused. Lily indicated for Bo to follow. She looked rather fed up and tired. Bo turned and followed Emma.
"Where are we going?" Bo asked.
"Shrieking shack" Emma answered simply.
"Oh, how are we going to get there Emma?" Bo asked.
"Easy, tunnels and passageways." Emma said. They left the castle and made their way to the whomping Willow.
"What happened between you and your mum. You usually get along really well." Bo said.
"Nothing, we had an argument." Emma said.
"About what?" Bo asked.
"Nothing." Emma said quietly. They went to the whomping willow and stopped. Emma picked up a stone and felt the weight in her hand.
"What are you going to do?" Bo asked. Emma threw the stone at a tiny knot on the trunk. Amazingly she hit it and the willow froze.
"Quickly, get in that hole there before it unfreezes." Emma said pointing to a gap between the roots. Bo ran over to a hole in the floor and slid through. He turned and caught Emma as she slid in as well. Emma shrugged Bo away and started down the passage.
"Emma, seriously, what's wrong?" Bo asked.
"I'm just annoyed ok." Emma said. "I'm fed up."
"With what?"
"With everything" Emma said. "My parents particularly. God, they're so possessive and clingy and I can work on my own." Emma said turning on Bo. "It's not like I can't do my work, I just don't want to do it. I could be a perfect student as well if I wanted to."
"I know you could." Bo said. He felt very slightly scared of Emma at that moment
"And I don't want to be a prefect, it's not like Harry's one anyway." Emma muttered as she continued.
"You can't be a prefect though until next year." Bo said.
"Exactly, that's what I tried to tell my mum but she wants me to be a prefect and to do that you have to get good grades and it's just frustrating me because I get good grades! I do, I've been getting nearly full marks on my tests and mum and dad are still on my back" Emma ranted. She pushed up something in the ceiling and tried to climb up. Bo helped her up then jumped up himself. They were in the shrieking shack. Bo closed the trap door and took off his jacket. Emma sighed.
"Well I guess I'm staying here for the night." She said. She looked at Bo. "You won't hurt me will you?"
"Hopefully not but if I do look like I'm going to hurt you I want you out as soon as you can, alright." Bo said. Emma nodded. She felt slightly calmer now. She sat on the floor and pulled off her bag. "Do you mind turning around while I take off my shirt." Emma pulled her knees up and rested her chin on her knees.
"I've seen you nearly naked before Bo." Emma said.
"That was before I got a girlfriend." Bo said. Emma looked at him slightly put out by that explanation but turned her head.
"Fine, but only because I love you." Emma said. Bo laughed.
"That'll be the day." He said. Emma laughed as well. She turned her head slightly towards Bo and glanced at him. He was in the process of taking his trousers and standing in his boxers. He looked painfully white and slightly ill. Emma couldn't help staring at him. Bo caught her gaze and looked back at her.
"Sorry." Emma said quickly as she turned away.
"It's ok." Bo said with a slight smile. Emma opened up her bag and took out a chocolate bar. She leant against the wall and looked at the opposite wall. Bo was pacing about in another part of the room. Suddenly his pacing stopped and he let out a shout of pain. Emma jumped in surprise and turned to look at Bo. He fell to his knees and held his hand. His back was arching weirdly.
"Bo." Emma said getting to her feet then she remembered that one of the worst things you could do was touch a werewolf while it was transforming. She stayed where she was as she watched Bo transform painfully into the werewolf he turned into every month. Emma frowned and felt like tearing her eyes off him but she couldn't. Bo turned to look at Emma, his eyes a bright feral yellow. He snarled for a moment and took a step towards her. Emma's hands itched for her wand as she stared back.
"Never use magic against a werewolf." She muttered to herself. She was about to dart to the trap door when Bo turned away and sniffed around the room. Emma relaxed and sank to the floor. She watched as Bo walked around the room. His fur was a light brown, nearly tan colour and looked quite shiny in the dull light. Emma whistled softly and Bo turned to look at her.
"Come here." She said. Bo padded softly over to her and nuzzled her. Emma smiled and kissed Bo's nose. "You're not a big scary werewolf are you?" Emma asked. Bo let out a sort of bark. Emma snapped a piece off Chocolate off her bar and held it out to Bo. He licked it off her hand and ate it as he padded into the other room. Emma smiled slightly and pulled out a blanket from her bag.
Bo shook his head slightly. He was shivering slightly and uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes. He was lying on his back on a hard wooden floor. He knew that Emma was sleeping on his chest. He remembered during the night Emma using him as a cushion. Now he felt her long soft hair spread all over his body. Her hair was far too long, he thought. He looked down and shook Emma gently. She groaned and rolled over so her head was further up Bo's chest. Bo blew some of her hair out of his mouth and shook her again.
"Emma, wake up" Bo said softly.
"No." Emma said, "too cold." Bo sighed and sat up. He caught Emma before she hit the floor. She sat up feeling rather annoyed and tired. "What was that for?" She muttered as she yawned.
"Can you pass me that blanket." Bo asked Emma. She pulled the blanket around her tighter.
"No." She muttered.
"Please Emma. I'm naked and I'm cold!" Bo said.
"Oh right." Emma said. She handed Bo the blanket and turned away. She yawned again and rested her head on her knees. Bo looked at Emma. She appeared to be blushing slightly. He stood up with the blanket around his waist. He picked up his clothes and pulled on his trousers and boxers first. He pulled away the blanket and threw it to Emma. She didn't bother trying to catch it and it covered her.
"Ah, darkness." She muttered under it. Bo laughed and pulled on his shirt.
"Come on, we better be getting back." Bo said.
"No." Emma said stubbornly. Bo rolled his eyes and zipped up his jacket. He picked up the bag and shoved the blanket into it. Emma groaned.
"Please don't make me go back." Emma said. "I hate Hogwarts." Bo crouched on the floor by Emma.
"Come on Emma. You have to go back" Bo said.
"No." Emma said. "I want to stay here." Bo sighed and stroked her hair gently.
"Come on. Your mum will be worrying."
"Who cares about my mum." Emma said. "I don't want to go back." Emma looked at Bo and suddenly leant forwards. She pressed her lips against Bo's. Bo was slightly taken aback at first. As much as he desperately wanted to return the kiss he pulled away.
"Emma, what are you doing?" He asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm upset." Emma said. Bo looked at Emma vaguely amazed that she'd do that. She pulled Bo closer and started kissing him. Bo returned the kiss against his better judgement and pulled Emma closer. Emma leant towards him more, forcing Bo to lean back slightly. He lost his balance and fell onto his back. Emma started as she fell with him. Bo looked at her slightly breathless. He leant up slightly so he was kissing her again. Emma moved slightly so she was on top of Bo. She put a hand on his chest and the other in his hair. Bo's hand's went to Emma's back and slowly down. They should have really been getting back to school and Bo's mind was spinning. He had a girlfriend, he had to get back to school, he had a girlfriend, he was going to get over Emma! He felt Emma pulled the zipper on his jacket down until his jacket was loose. Her hand was making its way down his stomach but he didn't want to stop it. His hands weren't exactly going any place innocent either though. Bo felt the top of Emma's legs as he felt Emma's hand go under his shirt. The touch of her hand on his skin seemed to pull Bo out of his temporary lustfulness. He pulled away and pushed Emma off. She fell backwards and hit her head on the windowsill.
"Emma, no!" Bo said as he scrambled to his feet. Emma looked rather annoyed. She pressed her palm against the back of her head.
"Shit Bo, did you have to do that?" She said. She pulled her hand away. There was a small red patch on it.
"Sorry. We shouldn't have done that." Bo said. "We have to get back to school" He pulled up the trap door.
"Bo, I'm bleeding." Emma said. Bo couldn't look at Emma at all.
"It's ok, no one will notice, your hair is red anyway." He said. He slipped through he trap door and disappeared.
"Bastard" Emma muttered to herself. She pulled herself off the floor and glanced around for her bag before she remembered that Bo had taken it. "Stupid god dammed bastard!" She muttered as she went through the trap door and caught up with Bo. "What the fuck was that for?" She asked Bo.
"You're asking me!" Bo asked. "You're the one who started kissing me!"
"You didn't have to throw me into the wall." Emma snapped at him.
"I didn't throw you, I pushed you off me and you fell into the wall" Bo said.
"What, and that's your entire explanation!" Emma asked, "Merlin! I thought that maybe, or all the bastards in the school you'd be different."
"Oh please, like you even think about me like that. You're just using me like every boy you've ever dated." Bo said.
"I don't use anyone!" Emma said defensively.
"Yes you do Emma, you're the biggest player I know! You're worse then Draco Malfoy" Emma opened her mouth in shock. "You used me because you're annoyed with your parents and you know I have a girlfriend." Bo said. Emma looked like she was going to snarl…snarl!
"Whatever Bo, like I'd ever go out with a werewolf. I have my standards as well, unfortunately you don't quite fit into them. Katie is just as thick as she looks. Doesn't she knows what'll happen if you date a werewolf! Look at your mum! God, I've had enough." Emma said storming off. Bo caught her arm.
"Don't you go insulting people like that. You've loved me as a brother or friend for god knows how long and now you let your feelings show?" Bo asked. Emma pulled her arm back and stormed through the tunnel. "Fine, go off and run back to your precious brother or darling Rhia but they won't have time for you Emma because they've got each other. I was mad to have ever loved you." Emma froze where she was. She turned around and looked at Bo.
"You loved me?" She asked.
"With all my heart. Merlin, I'd die for you Emma but you just treat me like I'm not worth anything. Now I know that it was all for nothing, you won't date a werewolf." He said. It was his turn to storm off. Emma stayed deadly still well after Bo had gone. Bo had loved her! What had she done? She'd completely screwed him up! But he'd said some really horrible things to her. She couldn't believe he'd said that. He'd said she was a user! She wasn't a user, and Rhia and Harry did have time for her. The only time they spent together was at Quidditch and a few hours a week because they were busy with other things. Emma felt like crying. The things Bo had said had really hurt and though she was incredibly angry with Bo she knew she'd just lost one of the best friends she'd ever had. She leant against the tunnel wall and fought back the tears. She hated her life, she really really did!
A/N:-AAAAHHH!! KILL ME NOW!! It's parent's evening tonight, granted it will be the last one i ever have but i've been avoiding them since year 8 and this year my dad is going to drag me there by the skin of my teeth if i refuse to go. I'm gonna die! I'm a good student, i really am...I'm just not clever! sob I'm going to die! I'm sorry i couldn't update on Sunday, The website decided to do updates so i couldn't log in....SO i did more writing...and more writing and more and more. I actually did some reading yesterday, I'm quite surprised cause i haven't read a proper book since you annoying peopl (jks) started pressurizing me to update and write and all that (particularly Kara...) Anyway. I have read some fanfiction and all that and i have a question...most of you are americans...so why do you INSIST! on calling Hogwarts the 'Hogwarts ACADEMY of witchcraft and wisardry'?? it's a school! and then don't you do your research properly? a) Surrey is COUNTY, the equivilent of a state, NOT a town b) The english DO NOT use Dollars, we use POUNDS! GET IT RIGHT!! c) (these are general) Babies can't talk and walk by the time they're 3 months old...if a baby could do that i'd die! d) Lily Evans was a MUGGLE not a witch lost at birth, or someone who has magical ancestors, a MUGGLE born, who had powers, much like Hermione e) Some people seem to forget that men can't physically have babies (you'd be surprised at the number of slash fics my frend and I have come across where Harry becomes pregnant) f) Are ANY writers out there over 13 years old (apart from me obviously) and then this one gets me the most g) HErmione/Draco and Ginny/Harry will NEVER happen. Draco is an fart who is a slimy bally git! he's not supposed to be as good looking as Tom Felton, Tom Felton is NOT the same as Draco Malfoy and Vice Versa. besides, HErmione/Draco is disgusting, will never happen, Draco will not suddenly change his ways and Ginny/Harry..PAH dream on! that's just disgusting....
Now try not to take any of this seriously, it's just Fanfiction has been generally annoying me for months now and my frends told me to shut up and rant to someone else. So, i'm ranting to you.....stupid fanfiction world. That may sound funny coming from me, afterall, i write the damned fanfiction BUT I will be giving it up soon. I'm pretty set on finishing this story and not continuing cause it's annoying me so much.
