A/N: This chapter is short, very filler-ish, and purposely titled the wait. Cause you guys are going to have to wait to read what happened with James and Lily. Remember in this AU, they never married, it does not mean that they weren't ever in love or engaged. There's a little explanation at the end of this chapter but it is very pedestrian, you will have to 'wait' to learn the rest!

Chapter 14: The Wait

"Oy, I'm so depressed, I could eat a horse," Perseus said as he shoved his fork into the minced meat pie in front of him. It was dinner time, Ron was sitting beside him with a look of glum clearly on his face.

"You know, people normally lose their appetite in times of sorrow," Ron told him. "You've eaten practically everything in sight."

"I can't help it," Perseus added grabbing a third butter roll. "My best mate is in the hospital with amnesia and I can't go up to see him! I have to let out my agression somehow!"

"Look, Dumbledore has already explained it. It wouldn't be healthy for us to confront Jadon while he can't remember anything. He might start asking question and get all confused and out of sorts. We just have to wait until his memory comes back." He looked over at his friend who was shoveling pieces of pie into his mouth and said, "and how is stuffing your face with food going to help you?"

"It makes me forget, at least for a while." A sudden look of realization came over him and he suddenly dropped his fork. "You know, I have better stop this before I start becoming unattractive to the girls." He quickly ran a hand through his hair and straightened up his shirt he glanced around the hall desperately.

Just then Jalisa Dezeret, a pretty Ravenclaw was walking passed their table. Perseus put on his most dazzling smile as the girl with the bronze skin and thick dark hair made swift eye contact.

"Hey Jalisa," he called to her. "Miss me much?"

Several of Jalisa's friend found the question funny and they giggled beside her, but she simply stared at Perseus with a look of confusion. "I'm sorry do I know you?" she asked.

"What is this an epedemic? I'm Perseus Black, one of the three infamous Cardinal's?" Perseus was unaware that Jalisa wasn't kidding the popular seventh year wasn't aware of the Black charm, having already snagged the cutest Ravenclaw in her year.

Ron laughed out loud beside Perseus but Perseus seemed unfazed. "Nevermind that Jalisa, it was just a formality. How about a date?"

"Um, no thanks," she said with a look of disgust and added, "I don't date birds, Mr. whatever your name was."

Ron was still laughing as Perseus stared at Jalisa's back as she walked away. Turning back to the plate in front of him he pushed it aside violently and exclaimed, " Oh no! I've turned into a porker!"

With a sympathetic arm on Perseus' shoulder Ron attempted to calm the Cardinal down but the familiar sight of a curly haired Gryffindor caught his attention.

"Hey Hermione!" he called. Hermione looked over at him and then signaled her hand for him to wait. She made her way to Filomina who was still eating and they both walked over to the Cardinal's.

"Any news yet?" Ron asked and suddenly distracted from his melt down Perseus looked up.

"Well I've just come from Madame Promfrey's office and she's informed me that their memories haven't returned but their parents are there now."

"That's right," said Perseus. "Uncle James probably came as soon as her heard the news. I wish I could go and see them."

"Holy Merlin!" Filomina exclaimed beside them, making them jump in surprise.

"What is it?"

"It's a James Potter and Lily Evans reunion!"

Perseus gray eyes lit up as if a thought had just occurred to him. "You mean to tell me that Lily Evans, the Lily Evans is Leilani's mum?"

"What in the world are you two going on about?" Hermione asked and Ron nodded beside her.

"Well," Filomina began. "They were in the same year together and James had crushed on Lily ever since they had met on their first train ride to Hogwarts. But he had made such an awful first impression on her that she eventually began to dislike him. And as the time went on, she began hating them. James would constantly pester her for dates and such, but she would refuse him everytime."

"Yeah," Perseus added. "But then in their seventh year they started dating and they even made plans to move in together after they finished Auror training but when that time came, everyone was so involved with the Dark War that all of their plans were soon forgotten."

"So, as the story goes," Filomina continued. "When the war was over, they got back together but something happened. Something so horrible that my father wouldn't go into details, but Lily and James were no longer friends, they hated each other and vowed never to speak again and they haven't. My father told me that it took James a long time to get over her, she was his first true love and he was heartbroken."

Ron stared wide eyed and Hermione said "Oh dear." None of the four Gryffindor's could deny the fact that the similarities between James and Lily and Jadon and Leilani were striking, or the fact that an eerily ironic storm was about to rage somewhere above their heads.
