The next morning Laura woke up to find the only person that was in was Jess, it seemed the other two still hadn't returned from last night.

"So how was your date?" Jess asked, "David seemed nice."

"To be honest it didn't really go all that well." Laura said making her self some coffee.

"How come?" Jess asked.

"I don't know," Laura lied the reason why it didn't go well was because all she could think of was Remus, she felt like she was betraying him, but that was just stupid she wasn't doing anything wrong.

"Well at least your getting back into the swing of things." Jess said.

"Was Remus upset that I was going on a date?" Laura asked casually.

"Not really, he was just saying that he should be getting on with his own life," Jess said, "no point dwelling on the past."

"Right." Laura said, "I'm going down to the library to do some work on my healer paper."

"But it's Saturday." Jess said.

"I know but I have tonnes of work to do." Laura said as she went off to get dressed.

Laura had just left when Lily apparated into the house with a grin plastered across her face.

She came into the kitchen humming a tune and smiling to herself.

"You look a lot happier then Laura did." Jess said, "may I ask why?"

Lily just smiled more.

"James?" Jess asked although she already knew the answer.

"It was so romantic, he rented a boat on the Thames in the centre of London and we had a candle lit dinner with dancing." Lily said her eyes glossed over

"And I'm guessing, as you didn't come home last night, things went pretty well after that as well." Jess said.

Lily just nodded her head.

"De-tails." Jess said eagerly.

"Well-" She begun but she was cut off by Emma apparating in.

Emma also had a wide grin on her face.

She saw them and squealed, "I have something to tell you." She said in a excited whisper. "Is Laura here?"

"No, she's gone out." Jess said.

"Oh well, I'll tell her later." Emma said.

"Come o tell us." Lily said.

"Well last night, after dinner." Emma said.

"Yeah," Lily sand Jess said waiting with baited breath.

"Well Sirius, he, we're." Emma could find words to say what she wanted to so she just held out her hand where there was a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.

Lily and Jess started screaming and they all ended up in a big group hug, jumping round the room. When they had finally finished Lily conjured a bottle of champagne and they celebrated Emma's news.

"We really should have waited for Laura." Lily said.

"Sorry, but I couldn't hold I in much longer." Emma said.

"You know, I never thought that Sirius would be the first out of the boys to purpose," Jess said, "I would have thought he would be the least likely."

"I know what you mean." Lily agreed, "no offence to you." She added to Emma.

"None taken, in all honesty, I thought I would be the last to get engaged." Emma said sipping her drink.

"In all honesty, so did I." Jess said.

"Same here." Lily said.

There was a small silence while everyone sipped from their glasses.

"I'm so happy, I'm engaged to the most perfect man in the whole world, I have three great friends and I'm training to be a healer, my life is perfect." Emma squealed suddenly.

Jess smiled, so did Lily. Emma deserved to be happy.

"Right I'm going to go and tell my Mum and Dad the good news," Emma said and she ran off to get changed before leaving.

Lily and Jess were still sitting in the kitchen, Lily had been explaining in great detail her date last night with James.

"It seems that I was the only one without romance last night." Jess said.

"It wasn't that bad was it?" Lily asked.

"No," Jess said and she had to try and stop a smile creeping across her face. "Remus kept me company."

Lily looked at Jess. "Is there something going on between you two?"

"No," Jess said with a sigh.

"But you would like there to be." Lily said looking at Jess straight in the eyes.

Jess thought about denying it but she wanted to tell someone. "Fine, fine, I like him……….. a lot."

"I knew it." Lily said. "How long have you liked him?"

"Sine before Laura started going out with him." Jess said.

"That's a long time." Lily said.

"Tell me about it." Jess said.

"Did anything ever happen between you two?" Lily asked, although she already thought she knew the answer, Jess was loyal she would never do anything to hurt Laura.

"No, I knew he didn't feel the same way." Jess said a little guiltily thinking about the incident she had had with Remus last year.

"How did you know if you never asked him." Lily said going over to the sink with their empty glasses.

Jess thought about lying again but it would be good to get it off her chest. "Well lets just say I did ask him, but he just doesn't remember." Jess said fidgeting with her sleeve, "come to think of it I was so drunk I can hardly remember either."

"What happened." Lily asked coming back over to the table.

"Well, please don't hate me when I say this," Jess took a deep breath. "Well during practical week at school I was in Remus' dormitory, and we got very drunk, and I told him that I loved him and kissed him."

Lily just looked at Jess with a blank expression. "Um…. What happened?" She asked.

"Well he told me he loved Laura and wanted nothing to do with me." Jess said fidgeting with her sleeve.

"God," Lily said, "How come he never told anyone about this."

"Well I kind of put a small memory charm on his so he would forget." Jess said shamefully, "but I would never do anything to intentionally hurt anyone while sober, and I felt so bad after I did that I could barley look Laura in the eye."

"Jess don't worry we all make mistakes when we are drunk, we all loose our inhibitions." Lily said.

"You don't know how good it feels to get that off my chest." Jess said.

"You know Laura and Remus are moving on with their lives now, why don't you try again." Lily suggested, "accept maybe don't jump on his while he's drunk!"

Jess let out a small laugh, "I don't know, maybe." She said.

"The worst he can say is no." Lily said.

"But he just doesn't see me that way." Jess said.

"Sometimes we don't see what's right in front of our faces."

Laura sat in the hospital library in silence, she was meant to be doing research for her paper, but she just couldn't concentrate. Her mind kept creeping back to last night and to her shambles of a date.

The problem wasn't that she didn't like David, she thought he was great, but all the time she kept seeing Remus in her head. She felt like she was cheating on him, which was ridiculous. She had been all fired out for her date until she saw him in the kitchen, part if her was even hoping he would be jealous.

She banged her head noisily against the table she was sitting at and everyone looked around, the old librarian put her bony finger up to her lips and scowled at her, but she didn't care. Banging her head seem to knock some sense into her. It6 had been staring her in the face all the time but she didn't see it.

Maybe the reason her date was so unsuccessful was because she didn't want it to work, maybe she was trying to tell herself that the only person she should ever date is Remus.

I'm back from skiing, it was sssssssssooooooooooo great, I can now say that I've skied in the alps! I so want to go back, it's quite depressing going from skiing in the snow to boring school where all the teachers are like, we have to knuckle down to prepare for SAT's. SAT's don't even count for anything!

Anyway I'm back into writing, while I was away I completely forgot what the hell I was writing about, woops!

That's all for now, don't forget to review!
