The door of the stall next to me slams and I get a knock on mine "oi what's the prognosis?" Only Lily Potter would say something like that in a public restroom. I open the door I shove the test in her face for her to see, she squeals and swats my hand away. The germaphobe."I am so massively screwed" I groan as we make our way back out onto the muggle street we had been wandering minutes before. We are currently in downtown London, having just left Diagonal Alley when Lily talked me into trying this muggle-pregnancy test. This was the second test I have taken in two days if I see one more plus sign I'm going to lose my mind. Lily is the only one who knows so far, I wish it could stay that way, or that one night stands where nonexistent. We turn a corner and I hail a cab to take us back to her house where I am staying for the summer holidays."Who's the dad El?" She asked for the third time today, I told her everything else, just not that. I don't want to involve the baby-daddy period, it's a long story. Guy dates girl, girl falls in love with him, the guy cheats On girl after having sex once, guy dumps the girl for the other girl. Ok, maybe not such a long story. I don't want him involved simply because he's a jerk.
Lily is still waiting for an answer "I don't know for sure", this is the first time I have ever lied to her. I already complicated things in her life by dating her cousin Hugo, one of her best friends at the time. When we broke up she stuck by me, she chose me over her own family, as far as I've seen he hasn't forgiven her. Can you see my dilemma? Lily thankfully doesn't press the issue and when we arrive at the Potter house she pays the driver (muggle money of course) I see her put on a smile that lights up her face. I mean, we are supposed to be two teenage girls fresh off work and going into the weekend. I follow her lead, throwing back my shoulders putting on my infamous smirk, and walk up the path to her home.
Moira greets me right away, winding her way around my feet and purring. I scoop her up and continue to the sitting room. Lily grabbed my sack along with hers and goes to dump them in her room and change out of her uniform from working at Florean Fortescue's Ice cream Parlour. I don't have a uniform at the Leaky Cauldron so I settle on the love seat with my cat and pull one of the magazines off of the coffee table and flip through it. Moira hisses and bats her paws at the air when James Potter walks in with a pint of Butterbeer and sits next to me. James hisses back, glaring at Moira, who decides she can't tolerate his presence and scatters. James grins at me then " your cat is a tiny menace " he informs me sipping his drink. I roll my eyes at him and block his attempts at using my legs as a footrest." Oi sod off I've been working six hours don't give me a reason to kick your arse." He lets out a laugh " Elide you and I both know you are far too nice to be making such threats." I sigh and then slip his glass out of his grip and take a swig, "oh my dear James it's the nice ones you have to worry about." I make my escape then, up the stairs and into Lily's room.
