"'Fuck man,fuck this week," James's says muttering to himself, while slamming down the empty shot glass.
"Amen to that man, so what you say Prongs what 'bout a toast. A toast to a fucked up day." Sirius I could toast you to that 'till I'm drunk tonight.
"Good man Prongs. Good man."
"Hey barman, give me a my friend here two shots each of the strongest liquor this place has got."Sirius orders
"This one's on me man,Prongs don't even think about paying I owe you for all the times you sobered me up."The Barman giving Sirius his hard liquor, passing James his share he says.
"Cheers"
"Cheers". And all James remembers is the clinking of glasses.
Two Days Earlier
"Potter I needed that report as of yesterday, I don't pay you to do nothing." Moody says with a bit of a growly
"Yea Potter,didn't you hear that your getting lazy what's wrong with you." says Vance with a sly smile." adopting a more serious tone she asks."Seriously though, what up with you, because just the other week I was reading about the "Famous Potter" and how ad mist all the war he is the lone hero who will save us." she finishes with a bigger snigger then she actually intended.
"Pretty sure I read the same article, not sure I read how ad mist all the war I the lone saver of the the wizarding world." he says and then with a smile adds " perhaps though my reading abilities have merely disintegrated."
With an even bigger smile Vance continues to respond."Well I might have embellished a little bit."
"Really only a little bit," his eyebrows raised.
Her face now a raptured smile she says, "perhaps it was a touch more embellishing then a bit."
"I wish I could save the wizarding world," he's says with a slight daze in his eyes. "I wish I could save all the innocent people from their death that they never saw coming. I wish our children wouldn't have to now the feeling of fear. I wish so much, yet I can't even seem to finish this damn report." James finishes with defeated tone.
"Yea, well we should get back to work before Moody fries your ass."Vance says shuffling back towards her desk.
Defeated James to his desk, only to find a letter from his wife.
James,
Doctors appointment.
St. Mungo's
3.57pm
"Fuck this man," just another thing I've got to do. Shuffling the letter in between reports of of muggle victims and and Aflred's remains, with no visible body parts.

"I can't believe we're going to have a baby,"says Vivian glowing with excitement.
"I know its so hard to believe,"James replies smiling at the thought of himself as a future father.
"Oh shit, James darling, would you be a dear and get my jacket form the ward I seemed to have forgotten it there."
"Sure thing sweetheart."Kissing her temple
"I'll wait for you in the main entrance."Vivian screams after him as he's about to get on the lift.
Getting off the lift, not looking as to were he's going, James walks had first into someone
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watch . .. ,"but the rest of the sentence dies in his mouth as he sees just exactly who he walk into.
"Lily," he says helping her up, yet talking her appearance at the same time. She looked worse for wear. Dark circles under her eyes, and the unhealthy look of someone who has lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
"Are you alright? What are you doing at Saint Mungo's?"
Flustered and caught off guard by the very sudden appearance of James she didn't have enough time to get her act together. "Um,"she responds but with the look of someone who's lost their words. "Um, I had an appointment."She replies lower her head slightly feeling the he's gaze upon her.
"Are you alright,"James asks his voice filled with concern.
"Yea, of course, but I'd better go. So bye Professor Potter."
"Yea bye Lily,"he says in a fading voice as he turns to look in the direction she disappeared into..

"Oh, healer -in training, I'm so sorry. I knocked but no one answered."
"It's quite alright James, I was just finishing up."the healer in-training Marie says as she exits the room. James seeing the jacket picks it up, but when poised to exit he sees something that catches his eye. A file labeled Lily Evens. Seeing no one entering the room he cautiously opens the file.
Patent's name: Lily Evans
Date of Birth: 22 of January 1960
Doctor's comments: Miss. Evans came in after results from some sort of muggle examination stating that she had a rare form of bone cancer. She came in for conformation. Due to my examination of Miss. Evans bones she does in fact have cancer. Ask Katian to schedule a follow-up appointment with Miss. Evans.
Shock fills James, unsure of what to do with the information he's just uncovered, he puts the file back and goes back to his wife. Trying to leave behind a memories of a girl he used to love.

One Day Ago
"Is James Potter home, Madam?'
"What, James yes, why." Jame's wife responds startled at the sight of a man in her fireplace
"Please tell him to report to the Ministry of Magic at once, it is of the utmost urgency."
"Yes, will do, right away."
--
"Wow, shit what'd you forget how to dress yourself."
If James had been caffeinated he would have laughed at Vance's sly humor, but as it was it had just spent the better part of 10mins before trying to put his socks on his hands thinking they were gloves, only to realize that they were neither gloves nor was it winter.
"All right people, listen up. There's been another attack, and you know why?" Moody asks growlingly "Because there's a war going on. And damn it don't you people forget that fact." his voice now so loud it constitutes as screaming. "You just keeping going on thinking that every time you hear about a new attack that it's the last one, that your going to wake up from some horrid dream that you all seem unable to wake up from. Well bloody hell people, your all fucking awake, and it's a fucking war that's real, so wake up and start doing your jobs. Only then will you be doing your jobs." with that he dissapreates to the scene of the attack.
The deafening silence last but only to be broken by the sound of dissapreating aurors.

A mists the back drop of cascading darkness all James can hear is screaming. Piercing screams, screams of the soul, of the innocence, screams of pain, screams of a lives wanting to keep on living, but most of all screams that he can't stop.
In a daze he stubbles upon a burning house ablaze with dancing flames, Death Eathers dangling the youngest child 50ft in the air. The mother is pleading and begging for the Death Eathers to release her son, but their own response to her request is with a flick of one of the Death Eathers wand they set the woman on fire. Yet a piercing scream awakens James from his stupor, the piercing sound coming from the ablazing house. James going on instinct and running on adrenaline with no thought for logic, races into the burning house in search of the any person who could be still strapped.
"HELLO"James screams feeling the heat from the falling structure.
"ANYONE HERE" There is no reply but a faint whimpering sound leads him to believe otherwise.
"PLEASE, I'M ONLY HERE TO HELP." James's eyes's burning with smoke, yet he sees a black shape moving, running to the shape, he finds it is in fact a girl, no more then seven at most.
Picking up the girl, he secures her in his arms, then runs like hell out of the flaming house.
A safe distance away from the danger,stops running, taking a chance to notice the girl he has been caring. Her whole being covered with soot, tears dripping down her distraught face and whimpering into James's chest. "It'll be okay, everything will turn out alright," he says trying to comfort the girl, while holding her close to his chest. His attempts at comforting sound hollow, as he is trying to convince himself as well as the girl what everything really will turn out alright, as he sits on the hill looking upon where the Death Eather's had just been moments before and eyes the destruction they've left behind and the dead taken before their time, all the while comforting a little girl who's just lost everything.
