I'm sorry it's a bit weird at the beginning but it gets happier as it goes on.


'Don't come near me again, I have a boyfriend,' Emma shouted, this person she was standing with was freaking her out.

It had been a week since they had been sitting underneath the tree.

'A boyfriend who kissed another girl? A boyfriend who doesn't know how you really feel?'

'Shut up! I don't even know you! How do you know so much about me?'

'I've been watching you for ages,' he said. 'I know how you feel, you can tell by your facial expressions.'

'Go away!' she shouted.

'I will, but answer me one question: Why haven't you gone yet? You've been standing here with me for over half an hour and you've kept telling me to go away and yet you haven't moved.'

She flinched. He was right, why hadn't she moved?

'I was here before you,' she said lamely. It was the first thing that came into her mind.

'You don't want to go, do you?' he said. 'You finally found someone who really knows you, he wants you and you love the attention he's giving you.'

She walked off, trying to get away from the guy as quickly as possible.

'I'll see you again soon,' he called after her.


Emma burst into the Common Room, still seething about what had happened she went and had a relaxing bath to think about what she had to do.

This was very clear, she had to tell someone. But who to tell?


'I missed you,' said Remus quietly.

'I'm sorry,' Ellie said. 'You understand that that was just something I had to do for a friend, right?'

'Oh, yeah, I understand. I was just saying that I missed you while you were helping James,' he said.

'I missed you too,' she said, happy that they were good again.


'Sirius, can I talk to you?' Emma asked.

'Sure,' he said. 'What's up?'

'I need to talk to you, you have to understand that I didn't want this to happen but it did, alright?'

'I think so,' he said. His face was creasing; he was getting a bit anxious about what she was going to say.

'This guy, he, well, he said he's been "watching" me. And he always comes up to me when I'm alone and pressure's me to like him and I have never done anything, like I always say I have a boyfriend and tell him no, but he says things like "a boyfriend that kissed another girl" and things like that and I'm really freaked out by it,' she said.

'Wow,' was all Sirius could manage to say.

Emma looked at him, 'and?'

'Who is this guy?'

'I have no idea, I think his name is Simon,' she said.

'Right, well, I am going to go for a walk,' he stood up slowly, kissed her on the forehead and walked out of the Common Room.

Once gone she sighed heavily, 'that was a huge mistake.'


Three hours later, Lily, Ellie and Kat along with Emma were pacing up and down the Common Room trying to be patient while waiting for Sirius.

James, Remus and Peter had gone looking for him. Before they did James ran upstairs and when he came back down he nodded to the guys and whispered, 'I got him, I know where he is.'

They came back in, with Sirius.

'Where did you go?' Emma shrieked. 'I was so worried, I thought something had happened and they all had to go looking for you and I wanted to come but they said no and I was upset because I was so worried and I had no idea where you were and I thought something had happened to you and they had to go looking for you . . . did I just say that?' she said very quickly.

'Have no idea, I couldn't understand a word you said,' said Sirius.

'Ok, where were you?' she asked slowly.

'To kill Simon,' he said casually.

'Excuse me?'

'Ok, I went for a walk and then I came across this guy and he was like lurking and then we talked for a while and he was like "stay away from her" and I knew it was him. So I punched him and it knocked him out cold and then James, Remus and Peter came along,' he said.

'So he's still lying there?' Lily asked.

'Dunno, hopefully he was eaten by a lot of cockroaches or something,' he said.

Emma stifled a laugh and the others looked confused.

'What is going on?' Kat asked.


'I don't think he'll be after you anymore,' Kat said after Emma explained the whole thing again.

'Neither do I,' said Sirius and he hugged her. 'Are we still on a break?'

'Break? What break?' she asked and kissed him.


A week passed and no one seemed upset. Kat now loved being single and being able to flirt where as the others loved being couples.

They were at breakfast and just enjoying another peaceful start to the day. It was a Saturday and tomorrow they were playing Ravenclaw. They were more relaxed about it now as they had been training and training.

The mail arrived and everyone in the group got one or more letters.

Sirius got another one from his parents saying things about how he should start preparing for the exams if he wanted a good job.

James got one from Emma's parents wishing him good luck for the game; they were coming to see it.

Lily got one from her parents and another from her sister. The one from her sister was quick and short. She must have been made to do it Lily thought.

Katherine got one from her brother saying about how he had just finished Year 12 and he was happy to be leaving.

Peter and Remus both got long letters from their parents. Saying things like "how are you and so on."

Ellie, who didn't usually get mail, also got a letter from Emma's parents saying how they were coming to watch the game tomorrow and good luck.

Emma got two, one from her parents, the other from someone unknown. She quickly opened it, as she wanted to go get changed because she didn't like her outfit that she had chosen.

You forgive easily.

Goodbye.

She scrunched up the letter and put it in the bin when she got to her room.

'YEAH, I DO!' she shouted and she kicked the wall.


Sunday, the day of the game, Emma's parents came during lunch and the met everyone.

'Mum, Dad, this is Sirius Black,' she said happily.

'Hello, Sirius, is it?' said her mother. 'It's nice to meet you.'

'We've heard so many good things about you,' her father said. She blushed and shrugged when he looked at her questioningly.

'James! How are you darling?'

'Good thanks, how are you?'

'Very well, I'm glad you're ok, we thought we would come watch the game, I know it's not the final or anything but I thought it would be a nice thing to do,' Emma's mother said.

'Hi Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers,' Ellie said happily, 'how are you?'

'Good thanks, dear.'

'Thanks for your letter, I don't usually get them,' she said.

'Well I'm glad you liked it, I thought the Quidditch paper I wrote on was special,' she said, pleased with herself.

Meanwhile Emma's dad was questioning Sirius about their relationship. Emma only just realised and came over to save him.

'How long have you been dating her?' he asked.

'Not nearly long enough,' said Sirius.

Emma nearly died; he had clearly won the acceptance of her dad now. He nodded approvingly and smiled at him.

'You're a good guy,' he said. 'Good luck at Quidditch.'

'QUIDDITCH PLAYERS TO THE STADIUM THE REST OF YOU STAY HERE FOR ANOTHER FIFTEEN MINUTES!' McGonagall shouted across the room.

'Bye,' they all said, leaving Peter, Remus, Lily and Emma.

'He's a keeper,' her father said.

She rolled her eyes, 'thanks dad, I thought so too.'

'Definitely a looker,' her mum said.

'MUM!'


It was an hour into the game. Gryffindor were winning 110- 80. To James and the rest of the team, they were too close. To the other Gryffindor's they were winning by far.

Gryffindor scored again, thanks to Kat.

'Potter and Black have stopped and are talking, wonder what could be so important as to stop playing Quidditch. I can only think of one thing, hey guys?' said Bennie Simons, the commentator.

Most people laughed.

Now he was feeling confident Bennie started to ramble on.

'I heard Black was having a bit of girl problems the other week, that's a first isn't it?'

Emma reddened. 'If no one else is going to kill him, I will,' she said getting up. 'My parents are here!'

'Stay here, he'll say something stupid and people will boo him soon,' said Lily.

'And as for Potter don't see girls running around crying anymore do you? Maybe because he's got himself a serious girlfriend now. 50 knuts he's cheating on her with Andrew's.'

'That's it! We kill him together,' shouted Lily.

Remus pulled them both back.

'Excuse me Remus; did you want to come with us?'

'No, we just stay here, you are not going up to him, you'll just get a detention and you don't want that.'

They sat down and started to ramble.


'Right, ready?' James called over to Sirius.

'Never been more ready in my life,' he called back.

They both flew, fast as they could, heading straight for the Commentating Stand.

Bennie started to scream, into the microphone, so the stadium filled with an echoing scream from Bennie.

They pulled back just in time, the stadium filled with laughter at Bennie. He looked at McGonagall expectantly but she just smiled at James and Sirius.


In the end, Ellie caught the snitch. She had sped towards the other Seeker, the Snitch was right next to his broom and he was looking in front of him.

'That means we're playing Sam,' said Kat, 'we have to bet them!'

'And we will,' said James enthusiastically. Someone tapped his shoulder, it was Emma's parents.

'We're going to go. I want you to know, that we're very proud of you and we think you did a marvelous job.'

'Thanks guys, see you soon,' he said and joined the guys in the changing rooms.


'Ellie!' shouted Remus, just before she went into the girls changing area.

'Hey, what's up?'

'Good catch,' he said, smiling.

'Thanks, I saw you pulling Emma and Lily back form basically killing Bennie,' she laughed.

'Someone had to do it,' he laughed too.

'I'll see you back at the Common Room, ok?' she said, giving him a quick kiss and running off.


'You didn't need to do that,' said Emma as she ran up to greet Sirius.

'Yes I did, he was a jerk,' laughed Sirius.

'I was thinking more along the lines of hitting a bludger at him,' she said seriously.

'Now why didn't I think of that?'

'I have no idea, keep it in mind for next time though,' she said and ran off to catch up with Lily.


A/N: Yay! Emma and Sirius are off their break. Happy days! Except for Kat, although she likes being single. Maybe she'll find someone else.
