Chapter 10: Drama at the Burrow

ALBUS POV

As I walked quietly back to my room that night I was walking on clouds. I had kissed Jaynie and she had kissed me back. She didn't really like James she was trying to get over me. I felt like a brand new man. Now all I had to do was deal with my brother. Jaynie was worried about hurting him. I knew that he really liked Jaynie, but surly he would understand that I love her.

The next morning I got dressed and went down stairs for breakfast. I had gotten up earlier than usual and couldn't go back to sleep. I was so happy. My mom and Dad were still the only one's up. I walked in humming along fixing me a plate for breakfast.

"You're in a good mood" Mom commented a smile on her lips.

"I suppose" I said

"Want to share why" Dad asked something was different in his voice.

"I guess I just slept really good last night" I said slowly deciding that I should get off this subject. I couldn't tell anyone about Jaynie until James knew. That was the only fair thing to do. I told Jaynie that we would talk to him together. I didn't want him to hate us. Suddenly Lily, Jaynie, and James all come running down the stairs.

"Hurry up" Mom said "We have to get to the burrow"

"You're going to love out family Jay" James said with a laugh "It's so huge"

I caught Jaynie's eyes and gave her a warm smile. She blushed a little and turned away.

"Albus" My dad said suddenly "Could I see you a moment"

Everyone stopped eating. My dad rarely wanted to talk to people alone unless it was business.

"Everything alright Dad" I asked standing up. Knowing he wouldn't tell me until we were alone.

"Everything's fine" He said as he led me into his office. I was trying to think of what I had done. He closed the door behind him.

"Have a seat Al"

I sat down starting to get scared. He had done this with James several times, but never me.

"Albus I would think of myself as a very understanding man" He said his voice tight. I nodded not sure I understood what he was getting at.

"The one thing I will not tolerate is anyone cheating or backstabbing my family"

I was confused "Dad-"I started but her held up his hand to stop me.

"Albus do you know the roof right outside the window in the attic is the roof to mine and your mother's room."

I froze. No wonder he was upset he heard me and Jaynie last night.

"I had the window open so I heard someone on the roof. Then I heard you and Jaynie talking. I was confused so I went to investigate. What should I see when I looked out the window, but my son kissing his brothers girlfriend."

Dad's face was growing red. He had never had a family growing up so he always taught us to respect each other. He couldn't stand it when we fought especially over stupid stuff. He would remind is that we should be thankful to have a family.

"Do you have any idea what this is going to do to your brother?"

"I was going to talk to him dad" I said softly

"Oh and cause crap at the burrow. No I don't think so your mother would be furious"

"No dad I was going to wait until tomorrow"

"No you're going to do it now" He said simply

"But Dad-"

"No butt's Albus. James deserves to know and it would be easier than you and Jaynie pretending not to like each other for a day. Or you guys making secret goo-goo eyes at each other. It doesn't work to stay away from the one you love" He said a smile on his lips.

"I take it you tried" I asked

"After Dumbledore died I broke up with your mother. I didn't know what would happen to me or if I would see her again. I also didn't want Voldemort to use her to get to me. It failed though. My birthday found us snogging in her bedroom"

I covered my ears "Dad please" I said and he laughed

"Your Uncle Ron came in and interrupted. I of course left and didn't see her again until we ended up at Hogwarts. I watched her on the map of course though. There were nights that, that was what got me through. Seeing her move on the map and knowing she was safe. Albus you can't go a whole day pretending you don't love her"

"Love" I said. Is that that what this was.

"Yes now I want you to go tell your brother"

"Yes sir" I said and shuffled out of the room. I walked up the stair and tapped on my brother's door. I heard shouting from the inside.

"YOU DID WHAT"

I heard sobbing "James please, I wanted to tell and also tell you I am so sorry" that was Jaynie.

"You kissed my brother behind my back Jaynie how am I suppose to get over that"

Why had she told him? I should have just manned up and told him this morning. Dad was right it wasn't fair to keep it from him. He had told me first thing after all.

"You're not" Jaynie said softly

I peeked through the crack. James had sunk onto the bed. Jaynie sat next to him and took his hand in hers. I could see the tears glistening off her cheeks. My heart panged with Jealousy.

"It's not your fault James it's me I should have never gone out with you"

He pulled his hand out of hers and stood up.

"So I was the rebound guy for Albus hun"

"No, yes, maybe" Jaynie's shoulders slumped "James I have loved Albus from the moment I met him."

"Then why did you date me"

"I didn't think I deserved Albus" She admitted

"So you were settling for me"

"No"

"You know what Jaynie I have heard enough"

I moved out of door way and watched her come out and shut the door behind her. She turned and saw me standing there and dropped her head.

"I tried to let him down easy, but now he just hates me"

I pulled her into a hug.

"I wished you would have waited for me"

"But I was his girlfriend Albus. I think it should have come from me"

"But I'm his brother"

I tried to talk to James, but he just shrugged me off. Me and Jaynie decided to lay low and not make things worse for him. So she hung out with Lily and I hung out with Rose. James always had Fred and Remus to hang with. No doubt telling them what a lousy brother I was. James had seemed happy once he found his friends and I thought he might forgive me. That is until dinner. Everyone was talking about when our parents were growing up. Aunt Hermione was asking Jaynie and James how they met. I inwardly groaned this would not be good.

"We met when I took her to the Halloween Ball. She is Lily's best friend" James answered simply.

"So you two figured out you liked each other and it stuck. That is so romantic" Aunt Hermione sighed.

"Yea until Jaynie decided she still loved Albus and she snogged him lasted night on the roof"

There was silence. Grandma's fork was frozen halfway to her mouth and mom's hit her plate.

"James" My dad said in his not playing around tone.

"What she asked so I am telling her the truth"

"James you prat" I said standing up "We already apologized, but we can't talk about this in private no we have to drag it out I front of everyone"

James stood up "You're the prat Albus, stealing your brother's girlfriend."

"I saw her first"

Jaynie stood up and ran from the table. I moved to go after her "Now you have upset her"

Suddenly I felt mash potatoes being thrown in my face. I pulled out my wand and the curses began flying. I don't know how long James and I did battle before I froze. My father had cast Petrificus Totalus on me. It looked like Uncle Ron had cast one on James as well. They carried us into the other room.

Dad lectured us like never before. He said we were grounded until the end of time and would be lucky if we saw daylight again. He had never been so disappointed in us. Lily came in, tears pouring down her face.

"Jaynie went to her grandmother's for the rest of Christmas break"

"What" I said sitting u from where I had been laid.

"She said she didn't want to be bother"

My hear felt like it was failing. Jaynie had left. What was I going to do now. I should had been concerned about the wedge between my brother and me. Yet all I could think about was whether not Jaynie would ever forgive me.
