Sorry I've been gone and sorry this is short! I love you all so much and I love this story. I have a huge outline for it all laid out. Standby for more.

Developments

Dear Bianca,

There has been quite a large burden I have not shared with you for these last couple of months you've been away which because of recent developments I feel safe and compelled to share. The family is in ruin. Your drunk uncle had been caught a few years ago trying to carry on the workings of Voldemort. Lily's father Harry soon squelched this almost catastrophe, making sure it never hit the presses. However, the public has never heard of the embarrassment, my superiors in the ministry have. Slowly over the years, my wages cut and my reputation blackened in the eyes of the powerful, but there has been a sort of life raft thrown my way you could say.

Your mother saw the article concerning Jack Kensington, the Minister of Magic's son. This pleases your mother. She has been served tea before any other fine witch at all the garden parties (I am not quite sure my dear why this pleases her but she is your mother and my wife so we must pretend to understand it). As you can see this relationship has been very beneficial to your mother it also, my daughter, has been very beneficial to me. I have swiftly been moving up in the ranks at the ministry and in society. Bianca, you are my only child so I count on you to carry on the family pride since you cannot carry on the name. I wish for you to continue this relationship for the family's sake. You can save us from ruin! I have scheduled a follow up interview to Jack's article for you with Rita Skeeter. She will meet seek you out in within the next week.

Sincerely,

Your loving devoted father

Bianca read the letter over and over again, alone in the great hall. Lily and Scorpius had bolted when her father caught their practical public shag and Bianca wasn't sure when she would see them next. Her eyes began to tear as she pulled a piece of parchment from her bag along with her quill.

Dear Jack, she began.

Love why have you not written to me since the term started? From our last rendezvous I would assume you would want to write to me or even want to see me again. I thought we had something special Jacky… please write to me quickly. I know this is short lovey but I cannot express my woes in a letter and would much rather be able to do so in person.

Your miserable lover,

Bianca

Bianca stroked the feathers of her barn owl that stood across from her seat and wrapped the letter around his foot, stopping him before he could flee."Wait boy" she cooed "I have one more letter"

She pulled out another piece of parchment to write a letter shorter than the one previous.

James,

I have to. I am sorry. Just know it is a lie.

B.

Bianca tied this next letter to Salazar or Sal her owl named after her house founder. She watched as he flew away. Trying to fight back her tears, she made her way out of the Great Hall. She walked into the dungeons to see a spastic Lily screaming at a cool and collected Scorpius. Same old same old, except that Lily was draped on his lap with his face between her hands. Bianca felt a dagger plunge into her heart when she remembered that she and James had once had such a relationship that Lily and Scorpius were now developing. "How can you be so calm?" Lily screamed at him. He just smiled at her, which was a very rare Scorpius occurrence. Bianca watched as her best friend's face melted because of her childhood friend. Why could they finally be happy and Bianca's life had to be so miserable "Lily?" she called. Lily spun her head around and Bianca's face, streaked with tears and rosy red. "I need your help"

"B" Lily gasped "What's wrong?"

"My family is ruined" Bianca explained slowly, draining the emotion from her face "I must sell my soul to the devil and hurt your brother to save them"

"Bianca, what are you doing"

"I" B stuttered "I have to be in a very public relationship with Jack Kensington"

"But you hate him" Scorpius stated somewhat confused.

"I know. Sadly, this also involves an interview with Rita Skeeter which is why I need you Lily. I need you and Ivy, and Scor for her 'sources' or else she'll go looking for her own. Keeley and any other low life of a dip shit would love an opportunity for their fifteen minutes of fame"

"I'll take care of Liv and the interview and I am volunteering Scor to distract Keeley" Lily began to concoct her plan in her mind as Scorpius looked at her in horror.

"Do you really want to throw poor Scorpius to the number one groupie?" asked a slightly amused B.

"It's the only thing that will fully distract her" Lily laughed then her face abruptly turning serious "If you kiss her. I will kill you"

"Yes, dear" he sighed.
