A couple of weeks later, right after Lily had turned 19, she was preparing to go to James, and his muggleborn wife, Irenes' house for what she called a 'barbeque dinner'. Lily always loved visiting with James' little family. She and Irene got along so well, and it was always nice to see her busy brother. Plus, she loved her beautiful, three year old niece named Trixie. She was actually about to head out when she heard a knock on the door. She yelled, "I'll get it!" So the Scorpius knew not to worry about it. When she opened the door, she had to do a double take, "Lorcan?" she asked, half surprised, and half furious.

Lorcan smiled at Lily, who did not return the gesture, "May I come in?" he asked politely, though Lily could see right through his act.

Lily scoffed, raising her eyebrows at him, "Seriously, Lorcan? Didn't you see enough of my house when you broke through my window?"

Lorcan looked genuinely sorry, and he reached out to touch Lilys cheek, but she backed up, "I was just trying to find you, love."

Lily shook her head, "Don't call me that," she snapped. She wondered if Lorcan had actually gone crazy.

"But you said when I got out, you'd be of age and you'd take me back," when Lily opened her mouth to object, he reminded her, "You promised."

It was at that moment, that Lily was positive Lorcan was out of his mind, "Lorcan, I was a stupid, 15 year-old girl. I don't love you, and I never will."

After Lily said that, a truly sad look came upon Lorcans face, "Do you remember what I told you, after I found you flirting with that Ravenclaw boy right before we were torn apart?" Lily opened her mouth, about ready to tell him that he needed to go, and she was tired of his games, but he spoke before she had the chance to, "I'll give you a clue; If I can't have you . . "

Lily gulped, remembering that exact encounter with Lorcan. She'd only been talking to one of her guy friends about the upcoming Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw quidditch game, and she'd playfully teased that Ravenclaw was going down. Right after he left and she started heading back to her common room, Lorcan came around the corner and grabbed her arm. It was the first and last time he'd ever hit Lily, as the two were caught the next day.

Lorcan quickly hurried back to his room with Lily, before anyone could see. She kept on struggling against his grasp, which made him grip her wrist even harder, "Lorcan, you're hurting me!" she whined; but he didn't care. When they reached his room, he quickly shoved Lily in then locked the door.

"What the hell was that, Lily? You want another man, huh?" He said, threat evident in his voice, "Well guess what, doll? You can't have one!"

By this point, Lily was tired of him controlling her. She'd never stood up to him before, fearful of how he'd handle it, but right now, she didn't care. Lorcan was getting out of control, "If I did want another man, you couldn't stop me," she snapped. And not even a second later, she felt a hand coming down on her face and blood trickling from her nose. She looked up at Lorcan in horror and shock, but the expression he had on was cold.

"Listen here, buttercup," he growled, holding Lilys chin, forcing her to look at him, "If I can't have you –"

"No one will," Lily whispered, as Lorcan merely nodded and disapparated; simple as that. She looked at where he had just stood in horror; had he actually just done that, seriously? She wondered if she should tell, or if his threats were empty and she should just leave it as is? She just kind of stood there, staring out the door with a blank expression for a minute. Then Scorpius came trotting down the stairs.

"Who was it, love?" Scorpius asked curiously as he threw on a coat.

Lily hesitated. What should she say, "Oh, it was just, uhm, someone trying to sell something," she told him, shrugging her shoulders, "Let's just go, we're going to be late."

As soon as Scorpius and Lily arrived at James' house, they were welcomed with open arms by Irene, as always. Lily smiled and hugged her, "Thank you for having us over!"

Irene shook her head, "Oh no, thank you for coming, Lily! You know you're welcome here anytime!" She said as she lead Lily into the living room, then s big smile came across her face, "I know someone who will be happy to see you! Oh, Trixie, I have a surprise for you!"

Before the three year old came running, Irene quickly turned around to introduce Lily to her friend, "Lily, this is Vanessa Monroe, Vanessa, this is Lily potter."

Vanessa smiled brightly as she stood up to shake Lilys' hand, "We'll be seeing a lot of each other, Lily! What a coincidence!"

Lily froze as soon as she laid eyes on her face; Vanessa looked almost identical to Delilah. And they had the same last name. It was obvious; this was Delilah's older sister. Suddenly, Lily realized that Vanessa said they'd be spending time together, "Why do you say that?" Lily questioned.

Vanessa tilted her head, "They haven't told you that you're being assigned a new trainee? You'll be training me in the field for the next few weeks, isn't that wonderful?!"

Lily froze; she couldn't be responsible for another trainee, she'd gotten the last one killed, and to make it worse, this was the last ones sister. Lily didn't like it, but before she could help herself, she said, "You're Delilahs' sister, aren't you?"

Vanessa bowed her head and answered with a nod. Before Lily could apologize, she heard tiny little footsteps coming down the hall, screaming, "Aun'ie 'ily!" Lily turned around and caught the child running towards her with a bright smile on her face; if there was one thing that could cheer her up, with never failing, it was Trixie.

Lily laughed as Trixie jumped into her arms, she spun around making the three year old girl burst with laughter, "Did you miss me?" Lily asked Trixie with a chuckle.

Trixie replied by nodding her head aggressively and throwing her arms around Lilys' neck, "I love aun'ie 'ily!"

Lily laughed, just as Irene called, "Dinner, everybody!"

Lily carried Trixie to the table and looked over apologetically at Vanessa, "I really didn't mean to upset you, I'm so sorry."

Vanessa nodded and continued looking ahead of her, still holding back tears, "How did you know Del?"

Lily gulped. Was this the time or place to tell her this? Well, as Lily always said, don't ask a question unless you're ready for the truth. She took in a deep breath, "I was the one training her. I was on the mission with her when . . ."

This caused Vanessa to look over at Lily, with tears in her eyes, but before she could say anything, they reached the busy table and sat down, "So, why is it called a 'Barbaq", Irene?"

Irene chuckled, she was the only muggleborn in the house and the only one who'd ever owned a barbeque. "It's called a Barbeque, and it's because you cook the food on a barbeque, silly," she started setting the table with things for hamburgers and hot dogs, and set a plate of onions right in front of Lily. Lilys' face suddenly went pale.

"Lils, you okay?" Scorpius asked as he rubbed her arm. Lily nodded her head, but moments later covered her mouth with her hand and ran to the bathroom.

Scorpius watched her, then stood up, looking to everybody, "Looks like someones sick, we should probably go," then he looked to Irene, "I'm sorry you went through –"

"Oh don't worry about it," she said gently, smiling at Scorpius, I hope she feels better.

Scorpius then looked to the onions that were set infront of Lily that seemed to trigger this. I hope she's just sick.
