003. Ends.

[ Warning – contains Harry Potter spoilers!]

Juliet lay on her couch, lazily perusing a borrowed copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling. This was one of her favorite book series and she was so excited that she finally had time to sit down and read the last book. She hadn't read it yet, so she had locked her house to make sure that no one disturbed her.

She was just reading about Ron's devastating abandonment of his friends when there was a knock on the door. Juliet ignored it and kept reading, eagerly drinking in the words on the page.

The knock came again. Juliet sighed with frustration, marked her page, and carried the book with her to the door.

"What do you want?" she asked as she opened to door to none other than Shawn.

"To see what you're doing," he replied, taking in her scruffy appearance – hair uncombed, no makeup, still in comfortable pajamas.

"Shawn, it's my day off and I'm reading a book. So kindly leave." With that, Juliet shut the door and locked it. She had just returned to her couch when…

Knock, knock.

Juliet threw the book down on the couch and marched over to the door. She swung it open.

"Miss me?" Shawn asked cheekily, holding a gift-wrapped pineapple for her.

"Shawn!"

"What book are you reading?" he asked, dropping the pineapple on her front porch.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now go."

"Fine," Shawn pouted. Juliet stood at the door and watched him leave until she was sure he was gone. She then took the pineapple inside, locked the door carefully, and returned to her book.

She had just finished sobbing her heart out over the death of Dobby when her phone rang. Without thinking, she picked it up, expecting Lassiter or the Chief.

"How's the book?"

"Shawn Spencer!"

"You sound stuffed up. Got to Dobby's death, did you?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact I did. I'd like to return to my book now."

"And cry more? Other people die, you know," Shawn said matter-of-factly, though Juliet could hear the grin in his voice.

"Shawn, I really don't want to talk to you about this right now."

"Remus and Tonks both die. Harry and Voldemort also die. Hermione and Ron have two kids named Rose and Hugo –"

"Goodbye, Shawn."

Juliet hung up the phone. How dare he spoil the book for her? That wasn't fair! She let out a cry of anger and frustration as she threw her phone across the room. The back snapped off and the battery fell out, essentially turning her phone off.

Juliet was left to finish her book in peace.


A/n: I don't own Harry Potter. I also don't own Psych. :D
