Lily, Masie and Joey didn't hesitate, they ran up the stairs at lightning speed. The door to the dormitory was closed but they could hear Josette's cry's as she smashed something else.
Lily pushed open the door and the three stared at the sight. Josette was standing in the middle her part of the room. Everything she could get her hands on was broken, at least her stuff was.
Bits of broken glass were scattered everywhere, papers had been shredded, books torn apart, their pages scattered around the room. Her bed curtains were ripped and thrown on the ground, her sheets and pillow charred as though they'd been badly burned, her wand lay on the bed, forgotten. The dress Josette was wearing was ripped and the bow had come undone, her hair was falling out of the intricate style she'd put it into.
Josette gave another cry, and picked up a snow globe her mother had sent her the day before for Christmas and smashed it against the ground.
Joey stepped forward, then stopped when she cut her foot a little on a piece of glass, she looked down to see a familiar silver picture frame lying on the ground, the metal bent, luckily the picture was still intact. It was a picture of Josette and her family. They were standing still which meant it was a muggle picture. Josette was standing with her arm slung around the waist of a young man. The mans hair was lighter then Josette's but they had the same eye, it was her brother. Their parents stood next to them, each carrying a baby. One baby was wearing a pink dress, the other wore a pair of blue overalls and a green shirt. A little girl, only about four was standing in front of Josette.
"Josette." Lily and Masie stepped forward now.
Josette ignored them and picked up a glass bottle of her favorite perfume from France. She threw it against the wall not even wincing when the expensive bottle shattered and the liquid inside dripped down the wall.
Ignoring the pain in her feet Joey practically ran to Josette and threw her arms around her.
"Stop." she said softly ignoring Josette's struggles, "This won't help them, it wont bring them back, it's only making a mess, stop."
"She's only five, She's always sick, I can't remember the last time Lena was out of bed for a whole month. She was sick, she had a bad cold. They killed a child while she was in bed! She's a child! She's sick, why would they do that? She can't do anything. The twins are barely one!" Josette hugged Joey, "They're gone." She cried into her friends hair.
"I know sweety." Joey said softly. "It'll be ok though, you'll get through it."
"How?"
"We're here." Masie said as she and Lily stepped closer.
"Yeah, we'll help you get through it all." Lily put a hand on Josette's shoulder.
Josette nodded and let the tears keep falling, then she gasped. "Malfoy." She whispered.
"Oh, yes, we completely forgot about your boyfriend." Joey said nastily.
"Oh don't be stupid Joey, Malfoy was threatening me. He said if I didn't go out with him and pretend like I hated all of you then he would kill my whole family. Now my family is dead so I don't have to do what he says anymore." Josette said it all excitedly as she could seeing as how it didn't change the fact that her family was dead.
"So, you can stop being such a bitch and tell Malfoy to go to hell?" Masie asked.
"I'm really sorry I was such a bitch, I was just worried about my brother. I really don't think those things I said, you aren't blood traitors, Remus doesn't frighten me. It was all a lie, everything I said, I'm so sorry."
"It's alright, as long as you put Malfoy in his place and explain everything to Remus, everything will be fine." Joey smiled, "come on, let's go."
Josette stood up and followed Joey down the stairs.
Everyone had pretty much left, the room was clean again. The only people sitting in the common room were Remus, and Sirius.
When the four girls walked down, they looked up.
"Remus, Josette has something to tell you." Joey dug a finger into Josette's side when she didn't move.
Taking a deep breathe Josette slowly moved over and sat on the couch next to Remus, and began to explain everything.
Ten minutes later Josette was chewing her nails, "I'm so sorry, I know that won't fix anything but I am. I didn't mean anything I said."
Remus stared at Josette, not saying anything.
"Remus, please say something." Joey begged,
"Can you guys leave us alone for a second?" Remus asked quietly.
Everyone nodded and stood up, Joey waited until everyone had left to go to her cousin. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "Don't be to hard on her, she's made some mistakes and now she's paying for them. He's had enough bad stuff happen to her this month." Then she kissed his cheek and ran up to the girls dormitory.
"Remus, I'm…." Josette trailed off when Remus pulled her to him and kissed her.
"Do you swear that you will end things with Malfoy?" Remus asked when he pulled back
Josette nodded, not being able to say anything.
Remus nodded and pulled her back into the kiss.
Josette took a deep breath. This was it, if she didn't get this just right everything would mess up and she'd be dead. She'd lose. She'd run over the moves in her head a million times and yet she was still worried she'd mess it up. She opened her mouth, closed it again. What if she didn't do it right?
"Would you just move Josette?" Sirius's impatient voice broke her train of thought.
"Shut up Sirius, Chess is an art, you have to be exact or you'll lose." Josette looked over her pieces again before finally moving.
"Check mate!" Josette cried triumphantly as her queen smashed Sirius's king.
"You bloody bitch! You cheated!" Sirius jumped up, a horrified expression on his face, "I always win!"
"Almost always win Padfoot." Remus said from behind his book.
"Shut up Moony." Sirius grumbled.
Josette grinned and stood up, "Well I guess I should go talk to Malfoy now, before I lose my nerve."
Remus jumped up, "Do you want me to come with you?"
"No thank you." Josette wrapped her arms around Remus's waist and kissed him, "If I'm not back in thirty minutes come look for me ok?" Without waiting for an answer she ran out of the common room.
"Well Moony old mate, I have no idea how you did it."
"Did what?" Remus turned back to look at Sirius.
"Got a great girl like her, don't get me wrong Joey's awesome. I wouldn't trade her for Josette or anyone else, but still."
Remus rolled his eyes, "Shut up." He muttered before going back to his book.
Sirius grinned and began setting up a new game of chess.
Josette Walked slowly, she was worried about what might happen. She knew she couldn't back down but she also knew what Malfoy was capable of.
"So, you came to find me."
Josette stifled a scream and turned to see Malfoy standing behind her.
"Stay away from me." Josette stepped back when he slithered forward. "This whole blackmailing thing is over."
"Would you really risk you family's life for your own selfish feelings."
"Didn't you hear? My family's dead, there's no way you can threaten me anymore. This whole thing is over and if you ever try to touch me again I'll go straight to Professor Dumbledore!" Then Josette ran as fast as she could to the common room.
