Alrighty, here's the next post.

Emily grabbed a compartment with Cody and Ginny on the train. Remus had left earlier than she had by apparating from Hogsmeade to prepare for the full moon that was approaching. Cody and Emily sat awkwardly beside each other, holding hands. Ginny sat across from them, grinning occasionally at Emily when Cody wasn’t looking. After about an hour on the train, Ginny excused herself from the compartment to get some sweets from the food trolley.

“Cody, we need to talk,” Emily said. She had been thinking about their kiss the entire time, and came up with the conclusion that they had no chemistry.

“Good, because there’s something I need to talk to you about too,” he said, releasing her hand.

“Er, you first,” said Emily.

“No, please, ladies first.”

“Er, okay, but I’m not sure how you’re going to take this. But I can’t just not tell you.” Emily hesitated as Cody just nodded. “When we kissed, Cody, I just didn’t feel the spark.” Emily waited, and to her surprise, Cody sighed in relief.

“You didn’t feel it either?” Cody asked with a smile.

“No, you didn’t feel it?” Cody shook his head. “Thank the gods! Now I feel better, no offense or anything.”

“None taken.”

“So, I, er, guess we’ll just be friends,” Emily said with a smile.

“Sounds great!” exclaimed Cody.

“Good, now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to see if I can catch up with Ginny and get some food. Do you want anything?”

“Nah, I’m good. Actually, if you don’t mind, I’m going to see if I can catch up with some people. So, I guess I’ll see you around,” Cody said, standing up.

“See you around,” said Emily.

Emily stood up and Cody opened the door, motioning for her to go first. Emily turned left and Cody turned right. Half way down the hall, Emily found Ginny in a compartment with the twins and Lee. She slid the door open and stepped inside.

“Mind if I join you?” Emily asked.

“Hey, what happened to Cody?” Ginny asked.

“Er, he went to go meet up with some friends,” said Emily with a shrug.

“And left you by yourself?” asked Ginny with a frown.

“No, I was coming to find you,” replied Emily.

“What are you not telling me?” Ginny asked with curiosity.

“I, er, broke up with Cody.”

“Why on Earth would you do that? You guys seemed to be getting along fine.”

Emily sat down beside Lee and Fred. “Well, we had our first kiss today, and well, there was no spark, no chemistry.”

“How did he feel about that?” Fred asked with a grin.

“Oh shut it. He said he felt the same way,” replied Emily, slapping his knee.

“Are you okay?” asked Ginny.

“Yep,” Emily said.

“You’re not sad or upset? You’re happy, even?” Ginny asked.

Emily looked suspiciously at her and then glanced at George, Lee, and Fred. They all had this anxious look on their faces. “Why are you all looking at—” Emily then understood. They all looked down and shuffled their feet or fidgeted in some way. “Oh,” she said shortly. “Guys, look. I’m not sad or upset. I’m happy right now, or as happy as I can be. Let’s just say that La Push is in the past and I’d like to keep it there. As long as I have my friends and family by my side, then I’m good,” Emily said, looking around at all of them.

“Promise?” George asked quietly.

“I promise,” she said, staring intently at him.

They all nodded and breathed a little more easily. Emily sat back in her seat and enjoyed the rest of the ride with her favorite Weasleys and Lee.
