Chapter written by: beachbabe12

A boy swiftly dodged a couple walking hand in hand and quickly turned into a empty classroom, he looked at his watch and sighed, he was ten minutes late and so was the person he was meant to meet.

The boy had urgent business to do with the person he was meant to meet. He was about to walk out and forget the idea when a small, fat, blonde haired boy with blue, watery eyes walked in.

'You're late.'

'I was trying to make up an excuse to the stupid Marauders,' the fat boy said, 'I told them I was going to pig out in the kitchen and I would be a while.'

The other boy snorted, 'I bet they believed you.'

'What does it matter anyway, Black is all worried about his precious girlfriend to even notice I was gone. It was nosy Lupin that had to ask where I was going.'

'Is Black worried about Emma?' the boy asked, he was very interested in this subject.

'How did I know you were going to change the subject to her?' the fat boy said, mocking him.

'Peter would you like me to start on Jesse Lestrange?' the boy said.

Peter flinched, 'ok, fine,' he sighed, looking at the floor.

'Answer my question,' the boy demanded.

'What was it again?' Peter asked, he had a short memory span.

'Is Black worried about Emma?' he repeated.

'Of course he is,' Peter answered quickly incase he lost his temper.

They were silent for a while, the boy was thinking about Emma, Peter was trying to remember when he said he would be back in the Common Room.

'The sleeping potion isn't going to her harm is it?' the boy asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

'I checked with Kat, of course she didn't know what I was going to use it for, but no she isn't going to get harmed, Hamish.'

The boy who was so worried was Hamish Blake, the ex-boyfriend of Emma, who had sent her the chocolates that had a sleeping potion in them.

'You know how I have a bit of a memory loss?' Peter said. Hamish nodded. 'Could you please remind me why we gave her those chocolates with a sleeping potion in them?'

Hamish snorted, 'because I love her, and I don't want her spending Valentines Day with that jerk,' he explained.

'Right . . .' Peter said slowly. 'What are we going to do next?'

'I was thinking we could break them up – like try and do something to make her stop seeing him,' he said evilly.

'But they're made for each other,' Peter said, not thinking before he said it. Which was a bad idea, because the next thing he knew he was pinned up against the wall, Hamish right in front of him.

'Never say that again,' he said angrily, dropping him to the ground.

'I swear I won't, I didn't mean it anyway, I meant that you and her –'

'- don't even bother,' he said, while Peter stood up and brushed himself down.

'What are we going to do to make her break up with him?' Peter asked timidly.

'I was thinking he could break up with her – how about I seduce her and then you bring Sirius along when I saw a code word?'

'I like it,' he said, agreeing with whatever he said. 'Where, when and what's the codeword?'

Emma stirred quietly, and then moaned, she was so tired.

'Hi babe,' Sirius said quietly, not wanting to frighten her.

'Hey gorgeous, what are you doing in my dorm and how did you get up here?' she asked, looking around the room.

'You can walk up here with a girl at the exact same time and any guy will be able to get up here,' he explained.

She kissed him softly on the lips, 'why are you here?'

All of them had agreed not to tell her someone had put a sleeping potion in a box of chocolates, they thought it would only make her anxious and too cautious. After the divorce of her parents and the death of her Aunty and Uncle she had nearly been tipped over the edge, she was clumsy and totally obnoxious. Sirius longed for the old Emma back.

'Can't a boyfriend watch his girlfriend while she is sleeping so soundly?' he asked sweetly, covering up the real fact that he was so worried she would never wake up.

'Oh, aren't you sweet?' she said happily. 'What's the time?'

'It's four in the morning on February 15th,' he told her.

'What did we do yesterday afternoon? I can't remember,' she said honestly. Her face was screwed up in concentration, trying hard to remember.

'This is what we did yesterday afternoon,' he said quietly, kissing her passionatly on the lips, and in an offended tone he added, 'I can't believe you don't remember!'

'I'm not going up there,' Ellie said, shocked that Kat would even suggest it. 'Do you even know what they're doing?'

Kat shook her head, giving her a quizzical look.

'They're – doing what they should have done last night,' she tried to explain.

'What?' Kat said, confused.

Lily laughed, 'I'll make it easier for you El! Kat – what were Ellie and Remus doing last night?'

Kat blushed, 'oh, is that what they're doing!' she exclaimed.

'Bing! You won the million dollar question!' Ellie said, rolling her eyes. 'You didn't have to put it that way, Lil.'

'Yeah but you explained it so weirdly, what else was I going to use?'

'How about – "What did Lily not do with Timothy Laredo?"' Ellie suggested. Kat started to laugh and Lily tried to suppress a smile.

'Now that I would have got,' Kat said, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

'You practically begged him,' Ellie said.

'Don't you think I remember it – I think he's still a virgin,' she said.

'No, Rachel Lane, Betty's sister, did the deed with him,' Kat said a matter-of-factly. 'I heard that from Sam when we were dating.'

'And you didn't tell me?' Lily laughed.

'I completely forgot about it,' she said honestly. 'Sorry.'

'Don't worry about it,' Lily said, 'I'm just glad that Emma is up.'

'Yeah,' they all agreed. Now all they needed to do was to find out who sent those chocolates.

'Hello, silly Lily billy,' James said stupidly as he walked into the common room.

'Hello James . . . bames . . . dames?' she said giving him a weird look.

'Good try,' he said encouragingly.

'Um, thank you?'

'You are most welcome,' he said, not getting that she didn't understand. Lily shrugged and kissed him hello.

'The reason why I wanted to come see you was because we're going for a walk, all of us except Emma who has already gone for a walk, we're going to meet her down for a walk,' he said.

'How many times did you use "for a walk" in that sentence?' Lily asked her boyfriend.

'Three,' he answered automatically. 'Anyway, you want to come?'

'If you're all going I will,' she said, not wanting to miss out on anything.

'Great, get your sneakers on and I'll meet you down there,' he said quickly, running down the stairs to meet the others.

Lily sighed, 'so adorable,' she said quietly to herself.

MEANWHILE

'Hey Hamish, thanks for the chocolates, they were so good,' Emma said happily as she passed her ex-boyfriend in the corridor.

'I'm glad you liked them,' he said softly, coming towards her. 'Did you have a good Valentines Day?' he asked her.

'Wonderful thank you. Don't tell Sirius but I can't remember half of it,' she said in a hushed tone so no one could hear.

He laughed, 'I won't tell,' he said, stepping closer again. She stepped back, getting a bit uncomfortable.

'So I have to go, but I'll see you around, ok?' she said, stepping around him. He grabbed her arm, pulling her back.

While this was happening Sirius stepped over a box of chocolates lying on the floor. Angrily, he picked them up, 'people should really stop leaving their rubbish on the . . .'

'Hello Sirius?' Lily said, waving her arm in his face.

'You know who this is from?' he said to Lily.

'No,' she told him, 'who?'

'Hamish Blake, Emma's ex-boyfriend!' he shouted.

'You mean he gave her the sleeping potion?' Lily asked, they looked at each other and both ran out the door, the others following them, not getting what was going on as they only just walked in.

'Hamish could you please let go of me?' Emma asked, trying to free herself from his grip. 'You're hurting me!'

'Sorry gorgeous, but this is for your own good, I'm going to save you from that stupid Black,' he told her.

'This is what this is about!' she shouted, except now there was no one around to hear her. 'HELP, someone!'

'I love you,' he said.

'Hamish, listen to me, I don't love you. We were a good couple in the beginning, but all I wanted was a fling. I'm sorry,' she said as nicely as possible.

But Hamish wasn't listening; he took both of her hands tightly and kissed her, just as Sirius and Lily turned the corner.

Emma struggled, it was obvious to Sirius she didn't want to be there, she was trying to fling her arms and get out of the kiss, her eyes were open and she was trying to pull away from him.

Lily pulled out her wand and shouted, 'pertrificus totalus!' Hamish froze and fell to the floor; Emma stumbled over and fell on him. 'Arg!' she said, pulling herself up.

'Sirius, oh, you saw that, I swear, I didn't mean to, he just came onto me and said he loved me,' she said.

Sirius looked frozen, he stared into her eyes, a smile crept onto his face, 'I know,' he said, 'Lily and I saw the whole thing, I know you don't like him.'

'Really? Thank you so much Sirius, I knew you would believe me,' she said, burying her face into his chest.

Sirius decided it wasn't a good idea to tell her the whole story about the sleeping potion but he was so happy to have her in his arms.

Peter saw Hamish lying on the floor rigid, 'shit,' he muttered, 'he's going to be so mad at me.'

'So much has happened to us,' Ellie said, putting an ice pack on Emma's wrists, which were swelling up.

'It's scary,' James agreed. They all nodded.

'I can't believe we made it through all this stuff, we must be really mature now,' Kat said. 'We've handled everything by our selves, being a teenager is so hard!'

'It can be fun though,' Lily said, looking at James, she couldn't imagine herself without him now.

'And romantic,' Emma said, Sirius took her hand and they smiled at each other.

'And totally cool,' Kat said, looking away from the happy couples, she was sitting next to Peter because everyone else was next to their boyfriend.

Someone tapped her on the shoulder; it was Andy, Hamish's friend. Sirius stood up. 'What are you doing?' he demanded staring at Kat's shoulder.

'I was just going to ask if I could speak to her alone,' he said nervously.

They all gaped at him, shocked he would even come near them, Emma was a little less shocked, as she didn't know about the potion and Peter just put on a surprised face as best as he could.

'Look, I haven't been friends with Hamish for a while, he was getting really obsessed and I thought it was stupid of him.'

They looked at each other; Lily thought it was odd Andy hadn't been near Hamish for a while, so maybe he was telling the truth.

Sirius sat down, taking Emma's hand again.

'So, Kat, could I talk to you for a sec?' he asked her again.

'Sure,' she said getting up. She walked over to the corner of the room and started to speak to him. The group watched as a huge grin crept onto her face and she kissed Andy on the cheek.

Kat took his hand and led him over to the group, 'everyone, meet Andy, my boyfriend.'

A/N: I'm sorry Hamish, for making you so evil! But we had to do something, and I thought that was pretty cool . . . and totally unexpected!
