"So let me see if I have this correct? You desided to rant, because you Potters have never been good at repressing emotions for long, about your brother and Rylee's relationship, the same way you did to Fred and Louis when Scorpius and Rose fell for each other aka repressed dating the same you and Kathlynn did for a year and a half. So I'm then going to guess that Kathlynn doesn't know that you mean no harm by this and just needed to get it all out of your systems, and felt insulted by it. Then I'm going to gander she brought her father's old prejudice against your grandfather into it and then decided to leave without hearing your 'true' side of the story, and now she's not talking to you, mainly because you won't suck up your stupid pride and tell Albus and Rylee that you wish them the best.
"Am I wrong?" Riley asked looking over the Exam papers that she was grading for third year.
James withered in his seat. "I love her." he said finally.
"I know, knew that when you were just a baby and called her yours." Riley grinned at the memory. "Harry and Sev through a hiss fit over that until I told them that's how my family worked." she straightened her face. "Kathlynn has her father's temper James. Your only going to appease it by apologizing. Then maybe she'll say yes."
James blinked. "And yes I do monitor your bank access, don't think that I don't know that you bought that ring for my daughter as an engagement ring. Now get to apologizing so I can win my money." she then shooed him out of the room.
The second James was out of Riley's office he pulled out his Map and looked for Rylee and Albus. He knew he didn't really mind them dating, he was just worried, because it was one thing to make kissy faces across the Great Hall, and another to ACTUALLY kiss in the Great Hall. He didn't want Draco or Lucius Malfoy to ban Rylee or Scorpius from dating Albus and Rose and thus breaking their hearts. It just came out wrong when he was talking to Kathlynn.
When he glanced down he saw the three of them, Rylee Albus and Kathlynn down by the oak tree in the grounds. Good he can take out three birds with one stone. He sighed and decided to just get it over with. They only had three more days in school, and unless he wanted his mother to scream at him, in person that is, she already sent him six Howlers... he needed to fix this fast.
Taking several short cuts he ran up to them. "I'm sorry! I said all those things because I don't want your dad or grandad to break you up and break Al's heart okay!" he took a breath "And you Kathy should know I'd NEVER be pissed at WHOEVER my brother is dating. He's my brother! Lily's a completly different story however, so don't even try me on her dating life. And maybe you should figure out I'm not mad at them dating, I'm worried for them!" he took a larger breath and pulled out a box throwing it at her.
"And maybe if you would come off your high pedestal you'd realize I'm not that cold! So say yes or no, right now I don't really care anymore!" he huffed and started stomping away.
Kathlynn caught the box and opened it. Albus's eyes bugged and Rylee whistled lowly. It was a white gold ornate three stoned engagement ring. The center stone was a sparkling emerald heart with two ruby princess cut gemstones on either side, while on the profile side of the ring where small circular diamonds, five on either side of the rubies.
"My brother doesn't skimp does he?" Albus finally said.
Kathlynn grinned slowly standing up silently she slipped the ring on and ran after James, who was already three-quarters of the way to the castle. Within a couple yards of the Castle stairs she jumped on his back which through him off balance and face planted him straight into the dirt.
"What the hell Kathy?" James mumbled through the grass and dirt.
"Yes. And don't even ask on what I'm refering to." Kathlynn said to him rubbing her face into the back of his neck.
James response was to just laugh.
Lizaluvsdoggies: Chapter 1; Well my nephew could talk at a year and a half... And then you have James being Harry's son and thus James grandson, along with Lily's... if anyone is going to do some rudementary talking at one it's James. Especially with Grandma Weasley babying her grandson.
Chapter 2; Yes it was, other then the 'friendly' kisses to the cheek before hand. No no, both knew they were dating each other. James just thought Kathlynn didn't know they were dating. And Kathlynn knew, she was just waiting for James to admit the fact that they were dating.
Chapter 3; Yes, but Kathy was mad at him for what he said. Albus is her best guy-friend besides Scorpius, being in the same house and all that, and Rylee being her BFF. Well in that line, I have twin 2nd cousins who married a pair of twins, three years apart. And if you think about it Rose and Scorpius are both related to the Black Family, who the Potter family is related to... so their already related in a way. All Pureblooded Family's are. Ginny and Harry are related through marriage through the Black Family all well. It's all weird to tell the truth.
