Emily Benson stared open mouthed as she watched her boyfriend, Sirius Black and her enemy, Larissa Yamen kiss. She turned on her heel and angrily and left the room. A few seconds later Sirius emerged from the room and ran after her.
“Emmy! Wait!” Sirius cried and he caught up to her.
“Get away from me Sirius,” Emmy replied sharply. She ran up the stairs to the seventh floor where the Gryffindor common room was located.
“Emmy, baby, c’mon! You know I love you!” Sirius said grabbing her hand. She jerked it away and continued walking.
“Save it for Larissa, Sirius,” Emmy said and disappeared into the common room, but Sirius was on her heels.
“She kissed me! It was totally against my will!” Sirius insisted as Emmy climbed the stairs to the girls’ dorm. She entered her room that she shared with her best friends, Lily Evans, Alivia Kasey, plus two other girls. Emmy slammed the door causing Lily to jump.
“What’s up Emmy?” Alivia asked. Emmy rolled her eyes and sat down on her bed.
“Sirius,” Emmy replied and Lily and Alivia groaned.
“What did he do now?” Lily asked. Emmy threw her homework, which was spread out on her bed, onto the floor.
“I caught him lip locking with Larissa,” Emmy replied.
“Oh my gosh! You should go talk to him!” Alivia said and Emmy shook her head.
“No Liv. I’m through listening to his sob stories about how it’s not his fault. It’s never his fault!” Emmy replied.
“But Emmy! Larissa has been eyeing Sirius all year. Plus she’s evil! Sirius might actually be telling the truth this time,” Lily said, Emmy stared at her friends not sure if she should give Sirius a second chance or not. Alivia grabbed Emmy by the wrist and pulled her down to the common room where Sirius sat slumped in a chair. He jumped up at the sight of Emmy.
“Talk to him,” Alivia commanded and left.
“Emmy I’m sorry! You have to believe me! She kissed me!” Sirius cried. Emmy stared into his dark brown eyes for a moment, still not sure if he was being truthful, then caved.
“I believe you Sirius,” Emmy said and Sirius smiled.
“Does that mean you still love me?” Sirius asked. Emmy nodded and hugged him tightly.
“Yes, but if you go near Larissa again…” Emmy warned. Sirius held her at arms length and studied her with a serious face.
“Trust me. I won’t! I love you Emmy,” Sirius said pulling her back into his arms.
“I love you too,” Emmy replied.
“So do I get a kiss or not?” Sirius asked. Emmy giggled and kissed him.
“Happy?” Emmy asked and Sirius nodded with a grin.
“Very,” Sirius answered.
“Hey Padfoot! I need help! Emmy! You could help me too!” James cried, appearing beside them. His hair was messier then normal (and that was saying something) and he looked exasperated.
“What with?” Sirius asked turning to his best friend. Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were all best friends that called themselves the Marauders.
“Lily! We’re in our fifth year, and she still hated my guts! I don’t want her to hate me for eternity! Do you know what will happen if she hates me forever? We’ll never date, never kiss, never get married, never have kids, never give each other presents on Christmas, tell each other that we love each other and it goes on and on!” James practically screamed looking at the very end of his rope. He slid into the chair Sirius had been in before and pulled on his jet-black hair. Emmy shook her head, knowing exactly how James could get Lily to stop hating him.
“Stop hexing Snape, and mature a little…or maybe a lot,” Emmy replied patting James on the shoulder. His eyes widened and he stared at her like she was some insane weirdo who had just escaped an asylum.
“Stop hexing Snivellus? You’re mental! Padfoot, your girlfriend is a mad woman!” James cried.
“Okay, fine. If you want her to hate you, I have nothing against that,” Emmy said and left. She returned to her room where Lily and Alivia were flipping through magazines and talking about boys. Emmy sat down on Lily’s bed with them.
“Did you make up with Sirius?” Lily asked.
“Yeah, and Lily, have you ever thought about going out with James?” Emmy replied, wondering if her best friend really still hating the immature Gryffindor Chaser down in the common room.
“Potter? That arrogant jerk? You’re kidding right?” Lily answered wrinkling her nose.
“I take that as a no,” Emmy said laughing silently at Lily’s reaction.
“What’s wrong with him? He’s hot!” Alivia said. Lily’s eyes widened at Alivia and stared at her with her mouth hanging open.
“You think everyone is hot,” Emmy mumbled under her breath.
“He’s a jerk Liv! He goes strutting around acting like he’s the King of the Quidditch Field, he jinxes Severus for the fun of it, and he has a detention practically everyday!” Lily replied.
“So does Sirius, but you don’t seem to mind being friends with him,” Emmy muttered so no one could hear, not wanting to start an argument.
“He’s a guy Lil! He’s not perfect, and who cares about Snape? He’s a stupid Slytherin,” Alivia said.
“He’s not stupid!” Lily cried, then her cheeks turned a brilliant shade of red. Emmy and Alivia stared at her, their eyebrows raised.
“Since when is a Slytherin not stupid?” Alivia questioned.
“Never mind. Just forget I said anything,” Lily said and left the room. Emmy turned to Alivia with a puzzled look on her face.
“What’s up with her?” Emmy asked. Alivia shrugged and walked down the stairs to the common room. Emmy followed her, then left to be with Sirius. He, James, and Remus were standing in a circle discussing the usual topics, Lily, her, detentions, Quidditch, and what curse to use on Snape next. Emmy stood by Sirius as James whined about how Lily wouldn’t even say a hello to him.
“I told you James. Stop cursing Snape,” Emmy said. Sirius put an arm around her shoulder and held her close to his side.
“Just face it babe, that’ll never happen,” Sirius whispered in her ear, making her giggle.
“I can’t stop hexing Snivelly! It’s so much fun to watch him twitch and suffer!” James complained and Emmy rolled her eyes.
“Yes, we all know Prongs, but Emmy just told you what you need to do. Well, I have a detention for sticking Brooke Perlman’s shoes to the floor. Joy! See y’all later,” Sirius said. He gave Emmy a quick kiss, then left the common room to face his dreaded detention of doom.

Emmy yawned and entered her dorm room. She looked over at her bed and her heart melted. Her bed was sprinkled with red rose petals and there was a small wrapped box on the pillow. She smiled and sat down on the middle of her bed. She took the box and glanced down at the note attached.

Emmy,
I felt like being romantic. Hope you like it! Meet me in the common room tonight at midnight. I love you so much!
Sirius
Slowly and carefully Emmy opened the box to reveal a silver heart dangling from a chain. She slipped it around her neck and hugged the note to her chest.
“I love you too Sirius,” Emmy whispered to no one.
