'Who do you reckon did that?' asked Fred

'I don't know, but I feel very terrible for Emily. She is really upset you know.' Said James

'Well while Emily was shouting at you she said only you and Melody knows about her muggle relatives' said Louis thoughtfully 'so do you reckon it's her?'

'No' said James shaking his head. 'I trust Melody'

'Yeah we know Melody; she won't do such a thing' said Fred 'and Melody is Emily's best friend.'

They fell silent after that. James closed his eyes. Maybe it was his fault. But how could it be. He didn't do anything. They were heading back to their homes for Christmas. James opened his eyes and started to look at the trees passing through the window of the train. He was feeling bad. Louis looked at James. He felt sorry for James. James didn't want any girl in his life except Emily. Of course James had gone out with Cary when he was in fourth year. They were going out for a while, but when James realized she only liked him because his family was famous in the wizarding world and he broke up with her. Until now he hasn't gone on a date thinking people only liked him for the reason he wasn't famous for. But of course Emily is special to James since fifth year. Emily is the only girl in Gryffindor who wouldn't turn up to James appreciating his quidditch skill or anything. She would just treat James like everyone. Maybe James liked her because of that besides her beauty. And when finally they got close to dating each other things turned upside down to them. Louis felt really sorry for his friend.

'James just don't worry, she would come around okay' said Louis soothingly.

James sighed and looked at them. 'You know if I ever find out who did this I will not spare them'

'Don't worry about that part James, we are there to deal with it' said Fred

'Yeah and trust me when she realizes you didn't do it she will definitely talk to you' said Louis

They heard footsteps outside their compartment. They saw it was Emily crossing their compartment. James immediately got up and ran behind her.

'Emily' he called after her. But Emily who knew his voice too well didn't turn. James ran after her to catch up with her. 'Emily' he shouted. But she didn't turn but walked fast. When he called third time she turned and looked at him furiously.

'What do you want Potter?' snarled Emily.

'Emily we need to talk' said James

'I don't think you should waste your valuable time by talking to a pathetic girl, Potter'

James winced when she uttered the word 'pathetic girl'. He took a deep breath and spoke in such a calm voice it made Emily to look tearful.

'Please Emily, you need to understand it's not me' pleaded James. 'I won't tell such a thing about you, it's someone else trick'

'Oh so who would do such a thing Potter, tell me' said Emily sarcastically.

'I don't know but I will soon find out, please Emily believe me'

'And why should I believe you Potter 'and Emily turned back and started to walk. But James was not going to leave it like that. He ran behind her, got hold of her hand and made her turn to him.

'Emily listen just think about it for one time just one time'

'Leave me alone Potter, I don't want to think about anything'

'Emmy jus-'

'Don't you dare Emmy me' said Emily and she wrenched her hand out of his grip and stormed away. James looked at her back with a pained expression and sighed heavily. He walked back but he had no strength to go back to his friends. So he blindly walked past the compartments. He was so immersed in thoughts that he literally ran into a person who was coming out of the compartment.

'Sorry, oh it's you Melody'

'Yeah it's me captain' laughed Melody but stopped abruptly by looking at his face. James gave her a weak smile and was about to go but stopped when Melody spoke. 'So she still is not speaking to you?' James nodded. Melody sighed. 'She is not speaking to me either'

'What! But why I mean is she accusing you for that thing too?'

'No no of course not, she is just angry with me because I backed you up and she didn't take that well'

'So you-, wait how do you know it's not me, I mean do you know that person who did this'

'No trust me if I knew I would have told Emily about that'

'So you believe me '

'Of course captain, how could a person, think or talk like that about a girl he likes?'

James blushed at this comment. James smiled sheepishly at her and said 'So you know, is it that obvious?'

'Obvious? Are you kidding me James? I think the whole school knows about it. The way you talk to her and the way you look at her. Only my idiot of a friend is clueless.'

'I don't know Melody how this happened, we were perfect, and it hurts so much to see her like that you know.'

'Don't worry James she will come back, the thing is she is in shock now. She couldn't digest the fact that you think about her like that because she likes you too'

'Does she really?'

'Do you think I am so dumb like her not to notice these obvious things?'

James grinned. Now he badly wanted to talk to Emily to clear things up after hearing these things. But as a second thought that seemed impossible.

'So what is your plan for Christmas?'

'Um….. Nothing special just the same sweet old things'

'Okay then, see you after Christmas, Merry Christmas Melody'

'Merry Christmas captain'

Surely James's Christmas would be like thinking about Emily Wilkins all the time, also about how to get her back.

After a long time I am updating this. Hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter will about James and Emily's Christmas break.
