A/N: This chapter is a bit pointless but we're all suffering from a bit of writers block at the moment. And because I'm going to New Zealand tomorrow I thought I should get the chapter before I leave and then I left everyone hanging for the two weeks.

'James!' Ellie shouted in his face early in the morning. It had been a week since the Quidditch game.

'Yes! I'm up,' he shouted, quickly, rubbing his eyes from waking up quickly, he stood up just as fast, 'head rush!' he moaned.

'James!' Ellie repeated urgently.

'What? I just said yes, this is the part when you're meant to tell me what is wrong,' he said angrily.

'Lily's pregnant with your child,' Ellie said.

'WHAT?'

'I'm serious as Sirius,' she said, trying not to laugh at the look on his face, she thought it was so funny playing tricks on people.

'Are you sure, I mean Sirius isn't very serious,' James said, messing his hair as some kind of distraction from the news he just heard.

'I know,' she said, 'that's why I used that line.'

'Does that mean Lily isn't pregnant?' James asked, slightly annoyed.

'Yes,' she said, smirking.

'Why would you do that?' James demanded angrily.

'That's for telling me that Emma was pregnant with Sirius' child,' she said, and stormed off.

'Oh, yeah, that was funny,' James laughed remembering how he had told Ellie Emma was pregnant.

Ellie had asked Emma if she was alright and started treating her really well and when Emma asked what was wrong she told her she was pregnant. Both Emma and Ellie were so mad at him.

FLASHBACK

Emma was seething, 'you think I look fat, do you?' she shouted.

'You're too conscious of how you look,' he told her.

Ellie was practically ripping her hair out, 'that was no nice trick to play. Imagine if I had told Sirius that Emma was pregnant, imagine how he would have reacted,' Ellie shouted.

James had laughed and they had got so mad the next thing he knew he was getting punched into the couch by two girls.

END OF FLASHBACK

Sirius and Emma were shouting in the corner of the Common Room at the same time.

'You never pay any attention to me any more,' she said, crying.

'That's not true,' he said, trying to get near her but she just pushed him back.

'You only talk to me when it's about the sports highlights that happened the other day,' she complained.

'I always talk to you,' he said, smiling from trying to understand why she was so upset.

'You don't, it's only about Quidditch,' she moaned. 'You don't even notice when I change something about me. Yesterday I was wearing new shoes and you didn't notice. The other week I put highlights in my hair!'

'Well if they were good highlights they would have made the sports highlights page,' he joked. He started to cough from his joke, he thought it was funny.

He realised this wasn't helping matters, 'I just had something in my throat,' he said a quick excuse.

'Maybe it was hair!' she shouted and stormed off.

Katherine and Lily were walking around, going to Ancient Runes.

'Nothing interesting is happening,' Kat moaned, 'it's so boring here at the moment.'

'Tell me about it. It's Valentines Day soon and that's the only thing we have to look forward to,' she complained.

'Don't even mention Valentines Day to me, I'm going to be the only single one apart from Peter,' Kat said, turning a sharply to dodge a fifth year student.

'Eurgh, I haven't got James a present yet and it's four days away,' she complained.

'That's one less thing I have to worry about,' she said, 'we have exams in three months or something,' she added.

'Don't remind me, I haven't even started studying!' Lily said sadly. 'The one thing I'm usually on top of I haven't even started doing.'

'At least Quidditch is going good,' Kat said positively.

'Yeah, at least I have James and I'm not single. So I guess we both have positive things going for us,' Lily said, keeping up the positive vibe.

'Let's just hope they last.'

'Ok, I have Emma's present planned, it's going to be great,' Sirius said, after he finished wrapping a little black box.

'And I have Lily's done,' James added, after putting a large box away under his bed.

'You can count me in with Ellie's present,' Remus said and he put a square box in his bedside table.

'Done and done,' they all said happily and went down stairs to play a game of exploding snap.

'Ok, I've done my present for Sirius, I think he's going to like it,' Emma said, putting a few boxes into her beside table, knocking over a few perfume bottles doing so. 'Gee, I am so clumsy today,' she said and while putting her perfume bottles right she knocked over a ton of make-up.

Lily, Kat and Ellie laughed, 'we all did our presents yesterday.'

'Yeah, well it was hard convincing James to go to Hogsmeade to buy all this stuff without Sirius knowing,' she explained, they nodded, understanding.

Dumbledore stood up that night, to give them a small announcement.

'Valentines Day – one of the most hated days for single people and still one of the most hated days for couples,' he chuckled. Some people laughed with him, others rolled their eyes and some stayed perfectly still, wondering what was coming next.

'Mistletoe!' he shouted.

People groaned, they knew what was coming.

He continued, despite the protests. 'Mistletoe will be placed in places to ruin relationships and start new ones,' he laughed.

Lily looked at James, she didn't want to get caught under mistletoe with any one else but him. All the other girls were looking at their boyfriends with a worried look on their face.

Dumbledore seemed delighted by it, he seemed to think that relationships would be strengthened by it.

'Any questions?' he boomed.

A hundred hands shot up in the air, some people standing up they were so desperate.

'Good,' he said, sitting back down and acting like no one had their hand up.

A lot more people rolled their eyes this time.

Lily looked over at Emma, she was explaining something to Sirius, she strained her ears and she could hear, 'ok, I'm going to be with you all the time and I'll be there for you so girls don't get to grabby,' she said seriously.

Sirius was nodding along, trying to pretend like he was interested. 'We could take a walk along the mistletoe at night,' he said seductively.

She giggled and whispered something in his ear that made his eyes widen and him grin.

Lily tired to hear what she said but all she heard was, 'it will be our little secret.'

Kat seemed excited at the idea, as she had no boyfriend to loose from the mistletoe.

'I only have a boyfriend to gain!' she laughed that night.

'I thought you didn't want to get a boyfriend right now,' Ellie pointed out.

'Well, I changed my mind,' Kat said, jumping on her bed.

They heard a clatter coming from the bathroom which was followed by a scream.

'I broke my curling iron!' Emma screamed.

'Repairo,' Lily said and the curling iron put itself back together.

'Why are you curling your hair, people are dying to have straight hair like yours,' Lily said.

'I want to see if Sirius will notice or not,' she said. 'He made an awful joke about sports highlights to me the other day and I want to get him back!'

'What do sports highlights have to do with curling irons?' Ellie asked, confused.

'Shut up!' she said, 'lately I've been so confused and clumsy, I feel so stupid,' she confessed.

'Yeah,' Ellie said, 'today I saw you trip up the stairs!' she laughed, 'it was hilarious. All her books dropped on the floor and you know what the funny thing was?'

They all shook their heads, waiting for the answer.

'Sirius just kept walking and all these other guys came rushing to help her!' Ellie finished her story.

Kat laughed, 'your Prince Charming is loosing his charm, Em.'

'The weird thing is, I know we belong together, it's just the way I know things are meant to be,' she said sadly. 'I meant to be this clumsy person and he's meant to ignore me while I do everything he wants me to,' she said.

'And when you get married you'll be like one of those trophy wives!' Ellie said.

'That's the last thing I want to be,' Kat said, 'I want to have a career, the men get all the fun.'

'So true,' Lily said, but she knew Emma was different, she had know her for seven years and when ever someone asked her what she wanted to be she would always answer in the same happy tone "a stay at home mum."

The mistletoe problems started on James and Sirius first. Emma wasn't always there to watch Sirius and neither was Lily.

Girls would come at every direction to get a quick kiss from either of them. Both Emma and Lily knew there was nothing they could do, and they both knew that Sirius and James didn't want the girls running after them just to get a kiss.

Then it started on Kat, she wanted so much to get caught under the plant with someone who would sweep her off her feet and they would live happily ever after. But more than once she got caught under it with Sam, her ex-boyfriend.

Then the rest of them started to have problems, what if they got caught under with a Slytherin? Thankfully none of them did, but Ellie started to get caught under the mistletoe with James, and then Emma would get caught with Remus and small things like that.

It was getting too much for the group to handle.

'How many girls did you kiss today?' Ellie demanded to Remus.

'Seven,' he said looking at the floor.

She kissed him on the lips gently, 'make that eight.'

When Emma asked Sirius his number was slightly larger.

'You kissed fifty three girls!' she shouted.

'I didn't mean to,' he said truthfully, 'they just come running at you,' he said.

She nodded, knowing all to well he was right. He hadn't meant to, she had been with him for most of them. She knew there was no tongue involved and it meant nothing, he didn't even close his eyes.

'How many did you kiss?' he asked her.

'Halve yours,' she said.

'You kissed twenty six guys?' he shouted. 'It must be your hair.'

She smiled, 'you noticed!'

'Course I did.'

'Valentines tomorrow!' Ellie shouted, running around the common room late at night.

'Can we give our presents now?' Sirius asked, he was getting very impatient.

'It is actually Valentines Day,' Remus pointed out, 'it's been Valentines Day for an hour and thirteen minutes.'

They all scrambled up the stairs to get their presents, Kat and Peter had decided to give each other presents, as if it was Christmas. They were just "friend presents."

James gave Lily two muggle books she asked for at Christmas but never got. Lily gave James a bunch of photographs she found of them together and a broom servicing kit.

Emma gave Sirius a joke book, a random selection of things from the joke shop at Hogsmeade. Sirius gave Emma a bracelet with small diamonds and sapphires in the sterling silver set.

Remus gave Ellie a ton of chocolate from Honey dukes and a book on Quidditch. Ellie gave Remus the same thing except the book was on Dark Arts animals and how to tame them.

Kat got some make-up from Peter and she gave him some chocolates.

'What a perfect day,' Emma commented after they finished unwrapping the presents.

'And it only just started,' James said happily, kissing Lily on the forehead.

A/N: Ok, so I'm gone to New Zealand and it would be great if I could come back and find that we have lots of reviews!
