-Blackrose

When I woke up the next morning I found my self completely alone. Emilee was gone. I looked around the room still slightly asleep.

With a sigh I rolled from my small twin sized bed and dressed in a hurry, eager to get out of this room and find my long lost friend. As I headed down stairs I ran into Lily. "Hey!" I said with a small wave toward her.

"Hi…well now here's a rare sight; you with out Emilee at your side." She said making me laugh.

"I know…you don't know where she is, do you?" I asked hopping she would.

"Oh…um…I actually haven't, have you been down to the commons yet, maybe she just got up a little early." Lily shrugged obviously she didn't know Emilee as well as I did. The thought of her getting up even five minutes before she had to was unbelievable.

"I don't think so." I shrugged as we walked down the long twisting stairs to the common room in hopes of finding Emilee.

When we got down there, she was in fact there only she was sound asleep on James shoulder. This made me laugh as I saw that Sirius was laying on hers. Lily looked at the three in disgust. "He's even head boy he should no better." She said before exciting the room leaving us alone with a few other wonderers.

I walked over to the sofa that they we're all asleep on and bent down. I touched Emilee on the shoulder lightly making her jump awake. "Sorry Professor I didn't mean." She started still half asleep she must have thought she was in class.

"I'm not a professor, but if you don't hurry you'll land us detention again, this time for being late." I said to her. The two boys we're starting to wake up just as Remus walked into the common room. And that's when I lost what they were all doing.

He looked even better today then he had yesterday. His hear was slightly ruffed up from sleep which made him look even hotter then before. He was dressed, but his shirt was wrinkled and un-tucked. Emilee must have said something, but it didn't register

"Hello…earth to Chris!" She said waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I said almost jumping back to reality, though I didn't take my eyes from Remus for almost a minute.

"Are you going to breakfast with me or should I leave you here?" She asked irritated that I wasn't paying attention to her.

"Um…I guess we can leave now." I said shrugging my shoulder. Though I didn't move.

"Come on" Emilee said grabbing my arm she pulled me from the common room threw the big profited of the Fat Lady.

"Why we're you sleeping down there?" I asked forgetting about Remus for the moment. She must have changed while I was staring because she was now in her uniform while earlier she had been in her mum's old pajamas.

"No reason, just started talking to the two boys and we all fell asleep."

"Why did you go down there in the first place, when I fell asleep you we're about out." I said raising my eyebrows at her.

"Don't worry about it. Come on we're going to be late for breakfast and then we'll be late for Class."

As it turned out we were late for both. Professor Slughorn decided to give us both detention. Again…I knew right then that it was going to be a long year and a whole lot of dishes. Emilee obviously didn't care. She must be use to it. I thought as the Professor started on the lesson.

When we got out of the class Emilee immediately started complying. "We we're only ten minutes late. It's not our fault that the Gryffindor Common room is so far from the Main Hall, plus we tried being on time. We even ran all the way there." Emilee complained to me, but I was a little distracted by Remus and the others walking towards us.

"'Ello Mates" Sirius said putting his arm around Emilee's shoulders which made her turn slightly red. Pathetic. "Got detention again did you?" Sirius said

"Wow you guys are breaking the Sirius Record, he hasn't even gotten detention yet." James said as he fell into step next to us.

"Only cause he hasn't seen Slimy Snape yet" Emilee said looking at Sirius.

"Well I'm still trying to think of the best prank to start with." Sirius said. Emilee laughed.

"You, not have a prank three months before school starts." Remus said "Yeah right your just waiting for the right moment to place it." Remus said making everyone laugh.

"So Ems about Lily" James started out of the blue making all of us roll our eyes.

"Give it up James, Lily doesn't like you" I said

"Hey, a guy can still dream, can't he?" Sirius's asked making me shrug.

"True, but maybe he should dream about easier pray." I said shrugging again.

"I don't know Chris…Lily's starting to get into him." Ems put in making James light up like a candle.

"Is she now?" He asked patchily burning down the school.

"Hi Sirius!" A girl said from behind us.

"Oi, ello Angelina" Sirius said forgetting all about Emilee, pour girl. She obviously noticed to. Cause she quickly linked arms with me and started hurrying off down the hall.

"I'll see you at practice James" She called behind her. Emilee was a huge quidditch player she was a beater or something like it, but knowing me I probably got her position wrong. Beats me what it's called. I was never into the whole sports thing, but did spend a lot of the summer playing with Emilee.

We headed off toward our next class, that just so happened to be together. Emilee was excited for The Advanced Flying Class, but I on the other hand could have down with out it.

Being the big sports fanatic I was, Advanced flying was my favorite class. I was lucky, though, because rumor said that it was being canceled at the end of this year. Flying was probably one of the few traits I got from my dad, who was also a big quidditch player in his day, and I was pretty good at it. Chris on the other hand, was only in the class because I wanted her in it. Not that I'm saying she's a bad flier, she just doesn't like it.

"Alright class." Madame Hooch started, "Because this is the last year, I have decide that we are going to work a lot on one on one learning." There were only about 10 kids in the class; me, Chris, Lily and James; 4 Slytherins; a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff. We were all sitting around Madame Hooch, our brooms sitting behind us. "While I do work with another student, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's legal and stays near the rest of the class. Understood?" We all nodded as Madame Hooch went off with James. Chris, Lily, and I moved so we made a small triangle.

"Well this is going to be great." Chris said, actually looking happy.

"Oh yeah," I started, "Sitting around here and joking around. That's exciting."

Lily laughed, "Well maybe not for you, sine it's what you do in almost every class."

I threw a bunch of grass I had been picking and turned to watch James. "So, Lily. You know it's about time you told the world about your secret love." She looked at me, confused, and I nodded towards James, who was expertly showing off. She blushed and stared at the grass. Chris looked in the direction we were looking at, and then turned back to us, eyes wide. Like a bug.

"You DO fancy James?" She asked, her voice raising slightly.

Lily muttered a little, and me, being cocky, moved a little closer to her, "What? What's that you say?"

She sighed in resignation, "Okay, fine, I fancy James Potter."

Me and Chris laughed and laughed at this, and at the fact that when Lily said it she had this really funny look on her face; Lily has some nice facial expressions. We were too busy laughing to notice James' shadow cover us, well until he coughed.

"So, mind if I take a seat?"

I looked at Lily, who had this look in her eyes that might've been saying 'Don't you dare let him sit', but I decided to ignore it. I moved over slightly, making space between me and Lily. "Sure," I said, patting the ground, "Take a seat." He did, and Lily glared daggers at me.

"So, James," Chris said, as I smiled sweetly at Lily, "I saw you showing off pretty much all the time over there. What exactly did Madame Hooch make you do?"

I saw James look at Lily when Christina told him we had noticed him showing off, as if he was gauging her reaction, but she just looked at the grass again. "Well, she just wants to get to see if we have any final problems that she can fix, and then she critics you on your flying." He leaned over to me and whispered, "If you need any critiquing." I laughed at him. He laughed also and moved back to look at Chris.

"So, I've heard you a good flier." He said. Chris nodded and raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" She asked, obviously catching on to James' little plan.

He pointed to a point near the lake, "I'll race you there and back. If you win I'll do your detention for you."

"How-" Chris started but James' interrupted, "Take it or leave it."

"What do you get if you win?" Chris asked, crossing her arms. James looked at me and winked, "You have to sleep all alone in the astronomy tower this Friday night."

Chris shook her head, "No way. That's not even fair. Ems has told me about how good you are. I don't stand a chance."

James started to look a little panicked; he wasn't used to being denied. So I decided to jump in. "How about I'll race for Chris, and we can just pretend I'm her." James shrugged, in a 'fine with me' sort of way.

"Fine. Deal. And you better not lose." Chris said as both James and I stood up, grabbed our brooms, and walked a little bit away.

"Okay," I said to James as we both mounted and got ready to jump of the ground, "I'm going to have to cut it close, or else she'll know we're working together." He nodded as I yelled to Lily that we were ready.

She put her arms up, then shouted, "On your marks, get set, GO!" At go, she threw her hands down as both James and I soared of the ground and exploded forward. Now me and James had been racing for quiet a while, but it was still pretty competitive between us. I saw him lean closer towards the broom out of the corner of my eye and followed him.

It was when we got near the lake that I saw it, a glimpse of a movement just inside the forbidden forest. It was enough to throw off my concentration, though, and the next thing I knew was James yelling my name and a tree coming closer and closer towards me. Then I think I passed out.

I woke up in the hospital wing surrounded by Lily, Chris, James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter; who I have no idea how they knew I was in the hospital.

"Oh Emilee you're awake. We were scared. You weren't waking up and…" Chris and Lily tried speaking at the same time. I slowly pushed myself into a sitting position and rubbed my eyes, "Wow, Slow down there sparky. What's going on?"

"You crashed into a tree." James said slowly, as if speaking to a child. I gave him a 'no duh' look and looked around me. That's when I spotted my leg. In a cast.

"My leg's in a cast." I said, calmly, as if I was simply stating a statement. "Why's my leg in a cast?"

"Well, you see," Peter started, "You must have landed on your leg when you fell, and Madame Pomfrey has been busy with some other things, so she just decided to put a cast on your leg until she can heal it."

I nodded, and looked around at the others. That's when my stomach growled.

"Oh," Sirius said, smiling broadly, "We brought you lunch." He set a tray of food in front of me. I looked at the sandwiches and pumpkin juice for a moment.

"Class was before lunch…How long have I been out?" I asked, confused, as I grabbed the cup of pumpkin juice and began to drink.

Remus looked at the others then back at me, "Well, you weren't out long. It's only about dinner now." I coughed in surprised, spraying a little juice. "I've been out all day!"

"Oh it's fine, we all took notes in your classes, even Sirius," James said, trying to calm me as Sirius nodded.

I nodded okay as I laid back down. "Good," James said, rubbing his hands together, "Now that that's clear. I believe Emilee lost the race…" Chris groaned as Madame Pomfrey came over a shooed my friends away.

A/N part deux: Just a little thank you two you...umm 4, that have reviewed. It's helping this story stay noticed even if it is sometimes pushed into the back of my/our minds. There's a little trouble in paradise so I'll try to update what I have but when I get all that up there will be a long (well longer) break in between that final update and the next one.
