Here ish Abi's post! Sorry it's a wee bit late

Alicia turned to glare at Jamie as the door swung shut behind Emily. Right now, she loathed every part of him.

“How could you?” she said quietly, her voice deadly. “She's like a sister to me- to you.”

“Not anymore,” he answered, his voice shaking with rage.

“Is that what you would’ve done if it was me?” she asked, her glare growing deeper as her hair turned black.

“Don’t get mad at me, Alicia-” Jamie said, pointing at her.

“No- you shut up and listen to me!” Alicia said, pointing at him and advancing. None of the others moved. “What’s the point, anymore? We’re always arguing now-”

“And whose fault is that? Black’s!” Jamie hissed and Alicia spat at him.

“Do not blame Emily. Am I the only one who can see past her relationship with Malfoy?” she said, looking round the room. The others shuffled their feet awkwardly. “She’s almost family to you, Harry.” Harry looked down at his feet. “And I don’t even know what to say to you,” she said, glancing round at the Weasleys and Hermione. Jamie’s eyes narrowed and he stepped forwards.

“So, what now?” he spat and Alicia’s ruby eyes snapped to his face.

“I can’t live with Malfoy in my life but I’ll make that sacrifice if it means I can keep Emily as a friend- because I can’t live without her, just like you.” Tears welled in her eyes as she realized where she was going with this. “I won’t live without you or Emily, Jamie…”

“It’s a good thing that we both are then,” he said quietly, stepping forwards. She shook her head and stepped back.

“If I have to choose between you and Emily, I’ll choose Emily every time.” Jamie stopped and stared at her. “You’re acting like a right jerk, Jamie- and that’s not why I fell in love with you. I’m giving you a choice- accept Emily and whoever she falls in love with or- or lose me forever.” Alicia let the tears fall as she thought of her Now and Forever disappearing. She ran to the door and yanked it open.
*~*
Jamie looked up as Emily’s shout sounded round him. It was the first time he’d seen her since- he shook his head and looked back down at his hands.

“Jamie?” He looked sideways at Ginny. “Can we talk?” He nodded and she led him to a table by the window.

“What’s the matter, Ginny?” he said, sitting down opposite her.

“Have you made a choice yet?” He looked at his youngest cousin and sighed. “You need to choose.”

“I know… But I can’t- I can’t forgive Emily but I won’t lose Ali again,” he said quietly.

“I understand the losing Alicia part… But you won’t forgive Emily for dating someone?” she said, raising an eyebrow.

“You make it sound like something stupid,” he sighed, looking at his watch. “Time for dinner…”

“It is stupid… I thought about what Alicia said and then thought about how Emily would be feeling… I don’t like that Penelope Clearwater but I put up with her because I love Percy,” she said as they walked behind the others to the hall. Alicia sat at one end of the long table, staring at her empty plate while Emily sat at the other, playing with her food.

Put up with Malfoy or lose Alicia? Jamie thought as Hermione spooned stew onto his plate. I need to understand a reason first.

So, after dinner, Jamie made his way to the owlery with a letter in his hands. Before finding an owl, he reread what he had written:

Emily,
Before you burn this, I need you to read it.
When you left that classroom, Alicia and I rowed again- it ended with her saying that when it comes to choosing between you and me, she’d choose you. I was also given two choices… Accept you and whoever you date or lose her… I’m going to be honest and say that both are hard to do but I want your help. I’d like to know what you meant by me understanding… If you don’t want to reply, I’ll understand.
Thanks,
Jamie

He looked up and found the three snowy owls. America flew down onto his shoulder.

“Sorry, America… This is important- I was thinking about using Bluejeans…” he said and Emily’s own owl fluttered to the floor to take the letter.
