James Potter sighed and ran his hand through his hair. What had he done? Yes he doesn't love Lily but he didn't want to hurt her. He just wanted to have a little fun, since when had that been a crime?

Since "having a little fun" included cheating on you wife

James pushed his concionces away, he had a life time to master the art. Soon the loud voice became tiny background static.

James wasn't at fault, it's obvious. Lily the one who was always at him day and night. So what if Harry rolled over by himself or if Hermione clapped a song in perfect time? They don't care about that. No one says about the first time thier kid got up or clapped. So what if he and Rita had a little fun, it was just a quick shag and no one would ever bring it up. No need to get panties in a twist. Rita was already gone.

It was okay, Lily just needed time to calm down. She'd spend the night at her mother's then come back to him in the morning. And everything would be back to the way it was.

I'm not so sure. Was the last thing his conciounce said before he forcfully ignored it for the rest of the night.

Lily woke up refreshed. The first day of her brand new life, it felt so surrel yet so right. She was finally free! Free from a prison of her own making. Steching she yawned, and smiled at her children. Such sweet faces, such beautifully bright futures ahead. At this thought some guilt came over the firery witch, they'd never know a traditional family. But it shouldn't be too bad, it was probably better this way for Hermione, and it's not like they'll never see James. But she'd eventually have to explain to Hermione that she is her only parent, needless to say James vehmently refused to sign the adoption papers.

Lily strocked Harry's cheek and Hermione's already developing hair. Lily smiled before she heard a knock on her door after a quiet "come in" Mrs. Evans entered the room. "Are you ready, dear?"

"Yes Mum." Lily nodded before picking up Harry while Mrs. Evans picked up Hermione. Heading to the kitchen they saw a plate of pancakes and after breakfast Lily went on her way for her busy day leaving her children to be dotted on my their grandparents.

Lily first and formost wanted a job so she went to the shop in Diagon Alley that Severus told her about and quietly entered asking for an application. While the sweet looking elderly witch wwent to get it Lily looked over the shop. It was clean if basic and held sevral diffrent charmed objects of varying potency. The elderly witch came back with a simple application that Lily had done in a matter of minutes.

"Before you go dear," the witch said, "could I see some quick charm work, please?" Lily nodded her consent and began her faviort charm.

"Avis" With that sevral diffrent colors of birds came out of her wand in varing degrees of color.

"Good my dear!" The elder witch exclaimed, she had never seen anyone make sevral diffrent colors of birds with the Avis charm at once before. "Can you control them?"

"But ofcorse." Lily responded before making the birds do sevral flips and spins looking like an elegantly coregraphed dance and fished with them all aligning making a pictrue of gras and a lily growing out of it with the sun shinging down. The elderly woman laughed in delight.

"Well my dear, no sense in waiting for anymore applicants. Your hired."

Lily walked steadly to the Ministry of Magic smiling as she did so. She got the job and now all she had to do was get in the process of a divorce and she'd be done before lunch if she was lucky. Then maybe she could visit Mrs. Snape and take her chidren to the park.

Entering the Minestry Lily walked striaght to the elevator and went to the floor for domestics. This was a seldom used floor, the only purposes of going here was for marriage license, birth certificates, death certificats, and the reason Lily was here-divorces. They, either conciousnsly or unconsly, kept marriage license and birth certificates on the right wing and divorces and death certificates on left wing of the floor.

Lily resolutly walked straight to the left wing and entered the door labled 'Divorce'. When she entered she looked on at the girm room, everyone looked beaten down by the content of thier job. What do they have to see day in and day out? Abuse? Petty agruments? Nothing pleasent, that's for sure. Lily was flagged over by a young witch who was extremly composed and talked in a politly proffesional voice.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"Yes, I'd like a divorce from my husband." Lily nearly slapped her own forhead for sounding so dumb, of course she was here for a divorce-this was the divorce room.

"Very well, how long have you and your husband been married?" The woman said, fortunly not laughing at Lily's moment of lack luster wit.

"Almost a year." When Lily saw the composed woman's eyebrow raise the slightest bit she relized just how stupid she sounded. A young woman divorcing after less than a year-how cliche!

"And the reason?" The other witch said and Lily could arleady see just what she was thinking-got married too young, wants out.

"Infediality." Lily responded and watched as the witch's face was a mask of surprise for a split second.

"Why do you sucspect that?"

"I came home to find him shagging another woman."

When Lily said that the woman's whole demener changed, she had just been cheated on, it had been enough time to get over the sadness but not the anger. The woman's blue eyes showed determination.

"Then let's get started, shall we?"
