Over the next few weeks, Dumbledore's Army kept practicing under Jaiden's and Harry's help. They will go to the Room of Requirements, where they will practice, everyday after all their classes.

There was a lot of trial by Umbridge little gang to catch them, but every time they tried, they failed.

Sometimes, when Jaiden spent time with the Slytherins, they were trying to ask her about it but she said she will never betrayed her friends. They knew it was best to just let her be so they stopped asking her.

"So, that's it for this lesson. Now, we're not gonna be meeting again until after holidays. So, just keep practicing on your own as best as you can. And well done, everyone. Great, great work." Harry said and they all clapped.

They all started to clear out. Jaiden, Ron and Hermione noticed that Harry was looking at Cho. They three looked at each other and smirked. Jaiden gave them a sign that they should leave. Hermione and Ron nodded.

"We see you back at common room, Harry." Hermione said and Harry nodded without looking back at them.

When they arrived at the common room, they sat down in front of the fireplace and waited for Harry. Then, he walked in and sat down with them.

"Well, how was it?" Ron asked.

"Wet." Harry replied. "I mean, she was sort of crying."

"That bad at it, are you?" Jaiden said with a slight chuckle.

"I'm sure Harry's kissing was more than satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days." Hermione said.

"You'd think a bit of snogging would cheer her up." Ron said which made Jaiden laughed a bit.

"Don't you understand how she must be feeling?" No one replied anything. "Well, obviously she's feeling sad about Cedric and confused about liking Harry and guilty about kissing him, conflicted because Umbridge might sack her Mum from the Ministry and frightened of failing her OWLs because she's worrying about everything." Hermione explained.

"One person couldn't feel all that, could they? They'd explode." Ron and Jaiden said together.

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon." Hermione said at both of them and they all laughed.

The next day after getting ready, Jaiden walked down to the common room just to see none of her friends weren't there. She shrugged and walked out from there.

When she arrived at the Great Hall, still, she didn't see her friends. She sat down and looked around the hall.

"Guys, have you seen Harry and Ron?" Jaiden asked Neville, Dean and Seamus who were eating their breakfast next to her.

"Oh, didn't you hear it yet?" Dean said

"What?"

"The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione went back to home last night." Neville said.

"Oh, they didn't tell me." She shrugged. "By the way, thanks." They nodded.

Jaiden went back to her food and finished it. After that, she went to the common room to pack her stuff. When she was packing, her father's voice came into her mind.

'Jaiden?'

'Yeah?'

'Cub, I'm so sorry to say this but, could you come to the Grimmauld Place alone. We're not going to be able to get you at the station.'

'Oh, okay.'

'You alright, Cub? I'm sorry again. I-'

'Yeah, Dad. I'm fine. I-i have to go. Neville call for me.'

'Jaiden-'

'Dad, I have to go.' She cut him off.

'But..Okay. I'll see you soon. I love you.'

'Sure, Dad. Bye.'

Remus staring at the table in front of him. She didn't said she love him back. He ran his hand through his already messy hair and let out a heavy sighed. Just then the kids walked in.

"Morning, Remus." The kids said together.

"Morning." He said and smiled at them.

"Hey, you guys." Remus called when they were having their breakfast.

"Yeah?" They all looked at him.

"Why didn't you take Jaiden with you?" Remus asked.

"Oh, Dumbledore said to don't. He said it's already late and he doubt Jaiden still awake." Ginny said and they all agreed.

"But, how come you can collect Hermione with you?" He asked again. At this point, Sirius knew Remus worried about Jaiden.

"We're in the same dorm." Hermione said. Remus just nodded and went back to his food, but not eating it. Just playing with it. After that, Remus and Sirius went to the living room.

"What happened?" Sirius asked when Remus just sat silently next to him.

"It's Jaiden. I told her that she needs to come here alone. She didn't sound happy with that. Then, at the end of our conversation, she didn't said she love me back."

"Remus, why did you do that?" Sirius said.

"You know Molly asked us to help her to get Arthur out of the St. Mungo's. That's why I did that. We promised her."

"Fine. Remember, Rem. You need to tell Jaiden about that thing." Sirius said which made him sighed. But nonetheless, he nodded.

Jaiden was sitting in her compartment alone and staring blankly outside. She couldn't believe it. She was alone in the compartment and next thing, she need to go back home alone.

Yes, she was alone before but, she didn't used to it anymore when everyday she had her friends around. And her father always there to pick her up from the station.

"Jaiden?" Came a voice from the door. She looked at the door and saw Draco and his gang.

"Hey." She said and went back to look outside of the window.

"Are you alright? Where's your friends?" Pansy said while they all sitting down.

"They went back to home early last night." She said without looking at them.

"Why?" Crabbe asked.

"I don't know. This morning, Neville told me." She said.

"That's all? You can tell us more if that's make you feel any better." Blaise said.

"My father wouldn't be able to take me from the station."

"That werewolf." Pansy scoffed. That's right. Jaiden did tell them about her father being a werewolf and she didn't get that werewolf gene from her mother.

Jaiden turned her head straight to Pansy and glared at her.

"In case you forgot, I'm a werewolf too, Pansy." She gulped.

"I-" Jaiden huffed and got up. She took her bag with her and walked out to find another empty compartment. She didn't look back at her Slytherins friends.

When they arrived at the station, Jaiden step out from the train and went to take her trunk. When she got it, she started to walk to the barrier.

She walked out from the station and went to the alley where she always apperated to go back home. She landed on her feet and saw Grimmauld Place in front of her. The house was there so she didn't have to think.

She sighed and went to the door. She tried to open it but it was locked. She sighed again and knocked. No one coming to get the door. She groaned and whispered 'Alohomora'.

She heard the door being unlocked. She pushed it opened and dragged her trunk behind her. Just when she shut the door, she saw Molly at the end of the corridor at the kitchen.

"Jaiden!" She said and ran to her. Jaiden smiled at Molly after she pulled away from hugging her.

"Come on, come on. Everyone is in the kitchen." Molly said. "Just leave your trunk here. You can get it later after dinner."

"Mrs Weasley, I think I'll not going to join you for dinner. I'm not hungry." She said and sent her an apologetic smile.

"You sure?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"Okay, but at least meet everyone first. Okay?" Jaiden hesitated at first but nodded. They walked into the kitchen.

"Look who's finally here!" Molly said. The kids all got up and rushed to Jaiden.

"Jaiden, we're so sorry because we left you. Dumbledore said to just let you sleep." Hermione said. Jaiden smiled.

"Don't worry."

"Jaiden." Came Remus voice. Jaiden walked to him and hugged him.

"Good to see you back." Remus said and smiled at his daughter. Jaiden smiled back. She still sad about her father didn't pick her up but she pushed that feeling away.

"Good to see you too." Jaiden said.

"Come. Let's eat dinner."

"No, thanks, Dad. But I'm not hungry." Jaiden said.

"She said the same to me." Molly said.

"Really?" Remus asked.

"Yes, Dad. I'm going to unpack."

Remus sighed. "Okay. But come back after you done." She nodded and walked out. She walked into her room and placed her trunk on her bed and started to unpack her things.

After that, she walked back downstairs to the kitchen. There, they filled up Jaiden about what happened to Arthur and why they went home early. After that, they just minding their own business.

That night, it was 2 in the morning but Jaiden still didn't go to sleep. She just reading her books until someone knocked on her door.

The door opened and it revealed Remus. Remus looked at her in shock because she was still awake. He shut the door and walked to her bed.

"I'm sorry about earlier." Remus said once he sat down next to her.

"Don't worry, Dad. I told you many times." Jaiden said without even looked up from her book.

"Yes, you did. But I know that you were still sad about it."

"Dad, it's already passed. Drop it." She said which made Remus sighed.

"I have something to tell you." Remus said. Finally, he got her attention. Jaiden looked up.

"What?" Remus opened his mouth but nothing came out. Remus knew that Jaiden wouldn't take it well. He sighed and shook his head.

"Nevermind. I'll tell you later. For now, go to sleep." Remus took the book from Jaiden and put it on the nightstand. He tucked her in and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight." He said before walked out and switch off the light.

"Goodnight."
