A Lover's Fate
Disclaimer: I do not own any character's except for the ones you do not recognize.
Hey everyone! Gosh this chapter has been giving me a ton of trouble. My laptop decided to turn off while i was writing the last paragraph and that made me so mad. Squee was practically was rolling on the floor laughing. But trust me this is my least favorite of the chapter I have up. It is really boring and trust me, it was really boring to write.
With out further babble here is chapter two!
Chapter 2: Harlem's Nocturne and All that Jazz
"Mother this is James Potter, James this is my mother Camille Cunnings." Aubrey said. She was introducing her mother to James, and it could not have gone worse. Not only did her mother have her wand out but, plates, cups and silverware were arranging themselves in the kitchen. But, James just grinned and had said 'So your a wizarding family too huh?'.
"It is very nice to meet you Mrs. Cunnings." James said cordially.
"Oh, please James call me Camille." her mother replied waving it off. "Aubrey, why don't you show James around the house." Camille suggested. But, once again Aubrey knew it was more than a suggestion.
Aubrey took James by the arm and dragged him out of the kitchen, then proceeded to show him around the now decorated house. The walls were splashed with bright colors, and pictures both muggle and wizard photos hung the walls.
"My father is a muggle" Aubrey explained as James tapped one frame of a muggle photo of Aubrey's grandmother. James nodded and they continued around the house until they at last made it to Aubrey's room.
"And finally this is my room." she said as the swung open the door to her bedroom. It was done exactly like her old room in America. It was a light yellow color with white trim. Her bed was made with a dark blue quilt and had her favorite rustic dresser and night stand in her now finished room.
"I love your house." James said looking around her room.
"Oh, please, you are just saying that." Aubrey said moving to her bed to sit.
"No, I mean it. At my house it is big and empty. My parents are never home because of their jobs. We never have time to be a family ever since my dad got promoted." he said sitting down next to her.
"Well, whenever you are lonely come find me." She said smiling at him.
James smiled back, "Thanks...so do you play quidditch?"
Aubrey smiled slightly, "I have never flown before...I am terrified of heights." She explained after seeing James shocked expression.
"Well what do you do for fun?" He asked still slightly surprised. At this Aubrey smiled and jumped from the bed and out to the hall. James followed her till they reached a pale orange room. In the middle was a large black piano.
Aubrey sat down on the bench and placed her fingers delicately to the keys, then began to play. It was a short song. It was called Harlem's Nocturne. Her mother had taught her about a year ago. She had trouble playing the scale's and it had taken her nearly 6 months to learn to play it but she truly loved the song.
"That was amazing," James said when she had finished, "How did you learn to play like that?" He asked her.
"Lots of practice." She said pushing the bench of her piano underneath. Well it's true. Aubrey started lessons with her mother at the tender age of 5. She had quickly learned and here she was just as good as her mother, if not better.
"You would probably get along with one of my best friends, Remus." James told her. He explained to her about Hogwarts, and about his friends, even Lily Evans was discreetly mentioned. Please note the sarcasm.
"I cannot wait to go there." Aubrey said she was now leaning against her piano and grinning.
"What was your old school like?" James asked. He had taken to sitting on the floor.
"Well, I went to Salem Witch Academy in Massachusetts. I had two extremely close friends, Emmy and Kayden. They are twins. We didn't pull pranks or start a band. We weren't extremely smart or dumb. We were average. Emmy was like my sister. She was the quiet/loud type. She was extremely shy when I first met her. But then suddenly she was like WHAM! She's so funny and sarcastic and stubborn at the same time. Kayden was the exact opposite. He was loud all the time but he did know how to play the older brother on Emmy and I. He loves learning about sword fighting and weapons but he wasn't the type to go blow something up at random. My old school was big. It had a lot of people in it too. We all took classes together but we didn't have the houses that Hogwarts has. We just were one big school. I had some good times there." Aubrey told James.
"It sounds great, I would miss my friends here too much." James commented. He smiled up at Aubrey.
"I miss them, but I don't regret moving here because then I wouldn't have met you." she said sitting beside him.
"I'm glad you moved here" James said looking Aubrey in the eye. Aubrey grinned then stood up.
"Come on, I have something to show you." she said a pulled James by the arm down the hall and up the stairs to her room. She walked over to her desk and opened up a drawer Aubrey pulled out what looked like was a worn piece of leather bound together by another with many pages in-between.
"This is a scrape book my friends Kayden and Emmy made for me before I left." Aubrey explained. She and James sat on her bed and she put the leather bound book in her lap and opened the first cover. On the first page was a picture of Aubrey with a girl, probably Emmy James suspected, with wavy brown hair and big brown eyes. They were both smiling wildly and they had on matching outfits that James also thought were their uniforms.
"Kayden took that picture. We had just got out of our first day of classes last year and we went into the woods." Aubrey explained sighing at the memory. She flipped to the next page and soon after that another. James was soon aware of her old life and what Emmy and Kayden were like. One thing that surprised him was that Aubrey and Kayden had had a fling just before she came here. Only Emmy didn't know about it.
"I told Kayden that it wouldn't work. I think I broke my heart more than I did his." She had explained to him. James wasn't as shocked as he should have been. From the look of it Kayden did care about Aubrey but there wasn't anything for him to regret. Kayden, as from what James had seen, was a tall brown haired boy with brown eyes just like his twin.
Later that night Aubrey was laying in bed.
Dear Diary,
I know this is a shocker to you. I never write twice in one day, but so much has happened it feels like it has been at least a week. I met this boy when I was playing my guitar by a brook. He is so nice. I have a feeling we will get to be good friends. It is late so I will write to you tomorrow.
Love,
Aubrey.
