Chapter Eight- An Explanation
Lily sat waiting in her dorm room waiting for Kat and Ellie to see her. She was angry, and by the looks of Ellie's appearance, she was too.
"She had no right to go and do that," was the first thing that Kat said.
"Too right she didn't," said Ellie angrily.
"Did you see her face when we accused her of doing those things though?" Kat said.
"Yeah," said Lily slowly.
"She looked so confused," Kat continued.
"Maybe, but she still did it," Ellie said, like it ended the conversation, but it didn't.
"Have you heard how Sirius is taking it?" asked Kat.
"Yes," said Lily. Ellie shook her head and Lily explained.
"I got rid of his excessive legs and then he broke down and went up to his room, he's distraught that Emma would do such a thing."
Ellie just nodded, her eyes turned a deep blue colour, meaning she was upset or sad.
"Ellie, it's alright, maybe there is an explanation to everything. But whatever it is, we will have to wait for after dinner because it's nearly over and I'm starving," said Lily.
"This is the saddest thing ever," said James, "he's never missed a meal."
Lily tried not to laugh, so a weird sympathetic smile came out.
"So Sirius is sitting up in his room and sulking about what happened?" asked Kat.
"Pretty much," James said, nodding. He turned back to his dinner and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a beautiful girl, she had moon-bright skin and whit gold hair, with sparkling blue eyes. To James, she was gorgeous, his mind went blank, a good sort of blank where he didn't have to worry about Sirius missing his dinner.
"Oh shit," said Lily as she caught sight of the girl.
"You can say that again," said Ellie as she caught onto what every boy in the Hall was staring at.
"She hasn't," said Kat, in awe.
"Oh yes she has," Ellie said. "If Emma's going down she's brining all the girls with her."
"She's undone the glamour charm!" Kat said worriedly.
"The whole bloody school's going to be a wreck," said Lily. She then moved her eyes around the Hall, observing the damage. The worst thing her eyes saw was James.
"James, sit back down. Where are you going? JAMES!" she shouted, growing angrier by the steps that James took closer to Emma.
"Hey Lils," he said dreamily, "look at the pretty girl."
Emma turned around and to where she heard the voice, she realised it was James and she said to him quickly, "James, sit back down, go to Lily, go on, sit back down."
"She's telling me to come to you, Lily," said James stupidly.
Emma suddenly smiled when she realised James was doing what she told him too.
"James, I want you to go and kiss Lily and tell her you're very sorry, and don't say it if you don't mean it."
James snapped out of his dream, he walked up to Lily and kissed her, passionatly. "I am really sorry," he said.
"James? You aren't just doing this because Emma told you to, are you?"
"No honey, I wanted to do that anyway."
"James! I'm so glad you did," said Lily happily.
"Just one thing, because I am too, but did you just say "Emma"?" asked James, confused.
"Um . . . no, I meant someone else," said Lily awkwardly. As much as she really did not like Emma at the moment, she could not bring herself to tell James the truth about her.
"Right . . ." said James. He didn't really care, he was so glad to have Lily back.
Emma had turned back to her "normal" self, which was the Emma that everyone knew. She would walk around hearing all the guys talking about the "mystery" Veela. All the girls that had boyfriends were "thankful that stupid Veela got out of Hogwarts."
She wondered when they would realize that she didn't do anything to Lily or Sirius. Why would she?
Sirius passed her; she held onto his arm and said, "can I talk to you?"
"What is there to talk about?" he said.
She slapped him, hard.
"What the fu-"
"See that? I actually felt myself slap you," she explained. "I never felt myself curse you."
He looked up at her; she had tears in her eyes. She walked off, not waiting to hear his answer. He walked the other way, not seeing two arms reach out and grab her, pulling her into a broomstick cupboard.
". . . and then she slapped me and walked off," Sirius finished explaining to James, Remus and Peter what had happened.
They were all silent, thinking carefully about what to say next, what advice to offer. A scream came from downstairs and all the boys had to do was look at each other and they were downstairs like lightning.
Emma stood in the middle of the room, looking smug. Katherine looked as though she's been slapped and Lily was on the verge of tears. Ellie was staring at Emma, her hair was black and her eyes were red. It seemed if you looked into her eyes they would burn you, they were so red.
"What happened?" shouted Sirius.
"She said that I was just using Sam because he looked good and that I never really liked him for the way he was," Kat said, angrily.
"Then she called me a mudblood," said Lily, "and said that I was never in love with James to start."
"And then she said that I was a stupid blood-traitor who used people," said Ellie, her eyes, growing into a deeper red colour as she spoke.
Kat then clasped her hand over her mouth, it looked as though she had finally realised something. She muttered a spell and Emma looked dazed.
Kat then spoke clear and calmly, "Emma Rodgers, I want you to go and kiss James Potter."
"WHAT!" shouted Lily and Sirius at the same time.
Kat held up her hands and said, "trust me."
They sank into a seat and watched as Emma went over and kissed James on the cheek.
"James, how was the kiss?" Kat asked.
"Just like an average kiss," said James, truthfully.
"Good," said Kat, "that means that this is not actually Emma."
"Are you insane?" Sirius asked.
"No," she said calmly, "I am actually quite smart for figuring it out."
"What out?"
"Ok, seeing as this is a serious situation I don't think Emma will mind me telling you this," Kat paused. "Emma is a half Veela, and if the real Emma had kissed James, then James would have felt a pleasant tingling sensation on his cheek for a couple of seconds after the kiss."
Lily whimpered and Ellie looked around, she realised the "Emma" was not actually there anymore. "Whoever that actually was has gotten away!" she shouted.
They never went looking for Emma, as it might have drawn attention to themselves, and that was the last thing they wanted to do.
Lily sat in the common room while the others went to Quidditch practice. It was then that Emma showed up.
"Hey Lils!" she said happily.
"You don't remember what happened do you?"
"What happened?" she asked her smile fading.
Lily sat down and shook her head, "James isn't here to test on you," she said, which, from Emma's point, if she was the real Emma, sounded really strange.
"What? Test on me?" she said, looking completely worried.
"Hamish!" Lily called from across the room. "Can Emma kiss you for a second?"
A boy with messy brown hair, and beautiful brown eyes came across the room. He looked completely puzzled and nodded, not really sure what he was agreeing to.
They kissed for a second (after Emma checked whether Sirius was going to be ok with her kissing her ex). Hamish touched his lips afterwards.
"Why do my lips sting?" he asked, "I have kissed you before," he clapped his hands over his mouth, as their relationship was meant to be a secret, but Lily already knew.
"It's ok, I already know," said Lily calmly. "Ok, you can go now."
"Bye Hamish," called Emma.
"Emma, I wanted to ask you something. Do you know anything from about an hour ago, do you know what happened?"
"Something happened?" she asked worriedly.
Sirius came in, covered in mud, followed by James, Kat and Ellie. They all stopped when they saw Emma. She looked from them to Lily.
"What's going on?" she asked, putting her head in her hands.
Lily mouthed to them, that she had checked and it was the real Emma. They nodded and Ellie's hair went to a normal colour.
"Nothing gorgeous," said Sirius.
"Oh, are you sure, because it was really strange. I am really sorry but Lily made me kiss Hamish and I checked whether you would be alright with it and Lily said yes, I thought it was a bit strange, seeing as we're dating," she said in one breath, looking at Sirius.
He smiled and said, "I'm not worried because it was just a simple test whether you could trust your friends, and you passed with flying colours."
She looked around the room; Lily and James were holding hands, which confused her a bit. "Why are you holding hands, are you dating again?"
Sirius stood up, "right, whoever's fault this is, is going to pay, no one messes with my girlfriends memory and gets away with it!"
Emma looked puzzled and said, "I'm going to dinner, it's been way to confusing for me."
They watched her walk out and Lily said that she needed some alone time for a while.
"What if someone messes with her again?" asked Kat.
"They won't," said Sirius, "because I'm going after her right now."
Kat decided to skip dinner, as she hadn't seen Sam for a day now and they wanted to spend some alone time together.
"Hey babe," he smiled at her, causing her to go weak at the knees.
"Hey gorgeous," she said, he grinned and kissed her.
"Shall we go in here?" he asked, she was backed up against the broom cupboard and she smiled happily at him while nodding.
He opened the door, a thin body fell out, it was a girl, she looked about seventeen, and she had strawberry blonde hair. Her head was now flat on the ground from falling. It looked as though she was unconscious.
"EMMA!" Kat screamed and fell to the ground to check her pulse. There was a weak one, but she was alive. "Sam, can you go get Sirius, don't say what has happened because there will be another Emma sitting next to him. Don't panic, we know what's going on; all you have to do is do what I have just said. GO!"
She watched Sam run off, looking very confused but a little stressed.
Jess Lestrange walked along the corridor wondering when Claudia was going to come back and tell her that something great had happened. She walked along wondering what had gotten her caught up so long.
"Jesse, Jesse Lestrange," said a voice. She jumped and stood where she had stopped.
"It's me, Mohammed, you know?"
"Yeah I know," she said coldly. This was not the right time for Mohammed.
Then from behind the shadows lurked another boy, this time a sandy blonde haired boy with watery blue eyes and a Gryffindor badge on his robes.
"Oh not you too, look, both of you, I don't like you, I like Taylor Parkinson, get it into your thick heads!" she shouted. "You can write every day confessing to me but I'm not the girl of your dreams, nobody ever asked me!"
"But," whispered Peter, "You looked at me that way!"
Mohammed made a sound like "yeah right," and Jesse looked at him in disbelief.
"I wouldn't look at you that way," she said. "Because I always thought you were gay!"
The words seem to take an age to sink through him, he started to walk away, then he quickly turned on his heel and hit Mohammed with a spell that completely knocked him out.
Someone from behind him hit Peter with a spell that made him go dizzy and fall over, knocking his head on the ground. Jesse strained her eyes to see who it was, wondering if she had another strange man had a huge crush on her.
"Hey sweetie," said Taylor. Jesse sighed and ran over to him.
"Thanks," she said. Just when she thought things were going right again, Claudia ran up to her and started to shake her. "I kissed him and everything, but they know, they don't know though," she concluded looking around to see how they reacted but Jesse was looking at Claudia like she was a germ.
"How do they know, but don't know?" she asked.
"They know someone's hurting her, because they found her in the closet but they don't know it's us," she said in an exasperated voice.
"There you go gorgeous," said Sirius, handing Emma a potion to make her head stop throbbing.
"Thank you," she said happily, rubbing her head.
"You don't remember anything, do you?" he asked.
"What?" she asked.
"What happened yesterday?" he asked.
"You guys," she pointed at the girls, "went to see Sam train for Quidditch," she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yes," said Sirius, "that's it, but you didn't go, did you?"
"No, we . . . well . . . we did stuff," she whispered so only Sirius could hear.
"Yeah I remember," he said happily.
"And now I'm hear," she said.
"Right," said Lily.
"What caused me to come here?" she asked.
They looked around and no one seemed to want to answer her. James, being her cousin, stepped in.
"Someone made a polyjuice potion, using your hair and tried to savotage your friendship with us," said James.
"Its sabotage," said Lily.
"Yeah, whatever," said Sirius, not wanting them to start fighting again.
Kat then butted in, "I had to tell them you were a Veela, otherwise they wouldn't have believed me you were innocent," she said.
"I'm so sorry," said Ellie, she now had blonde hair and blue eyes, she was feeling sorry.
"You didn't do anything," said Emma.
"We didn't believe you," said Ellie, "we are so sorry."
Everyone nodded.
Emma yawned and put her head on the pillow, the potion was making her drowsy. Everyone left, everyone except Sirius.
"I love you," he said softly, he was sure she was asleep and couldn't hear him.
"I love you too," she said.
I thought that was a cute ending. I just want to let everyone know that the next two updates might be a but slow because we all have exams over the next week, so nobody will be writing anything. I hope you understand.
