"You can't go on a mission!" Lily spat.
"Lils, I have to. Sirius and I have to go, but don't worry. It is a minor mission, and Lily Love, I padded after you for seven years, I am not leaving now." James reassured her.
"You can't promise that! We haven't even had our wedding yet, can't you at least wait?"
"Lily, I can't."
Lily growled angrily and grabbed the vase off of her stand. " THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY APARTMENT! I OBVIOUSLY AM NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR YOU!"
The vase flew towards James head, and he thanked his quidditch reflexes and managed to dodge it, but it hit the wall and broke.
"Lily, calm down." James said slowly.
"GET... THE ... HELL... OUT... OF... HERE!"
James sighed. "Lily, please."
Lily grabbed her wand and quickly disapparated, and James groaned.
"James?"
Alexandra had come out, and she looked at James. "What happened? I just got back and..."
"Lily's mad at me." James sighed, taking out his wand.
"I'll go first. Maybe warm her up a bit." Alexandra suggested, taking out her wand.
Lily walked around the perimeter of the park, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Lily!"
Alexandra ran after her, and Lily stopped to let her catch up.
"Lily, what is wrong?" Alexandra asked.
"He's going on a stupid mission. Sirius and him are going on a damn mission." Lily said, a mixture and anger and hurt mixed in.
Alexandra's face threaded with anger. "WHAT? I'M GOING TO.."
Lily didn't hear what she was going to say, because she had disapparated.
Lily twirled the ring around her finger, and tears continued to flow.
Sirius sighed. "So she is mad at you because you are going on the mission?"
James nodded. "What do you think I should do?"
"I guess we hope that..."
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK!"
"Uh, hi Alexandra." Sirius greeted nervously.
Alexandra had a look of pure anger on her face.
"HOW COULD YOU..."
"Alexandra, I already know what you are going to say." Sirius interrupted. "And I am going on that mission. And before you come to the same desision that Lily did, I am doing it because you are really important to me."
Alexandra opened her mouth, then shut it and stomped towards her room.
James raised an eyebrow at him.
Sirius crossed his arms. "Hey, at least I handled it better then you did."
James sighed and stood up, but before he could hear do anything, Lily appeared. She had tears streaming down her cheeks, and before she could run to her room, James wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.
Sirius got up and quietly exited the room.
"Lily, you are the most important thing to me in the whole world,and that is why I need to go on that mission."
Lily paced the room, her hands running through her hair every few seconds.
Alexandra was sitting on the couch, ever so often biting one of her fingernails.
Alice was trying to take their minds off of Sirius and James, but was unsucessful.
"They promised to be back by now." Lily croaked, and the color drained out of the two girls' faces. Alice sighed,and tried to smile, but now even worry was shone on her face.
Lily continued to pace, moving anxiously.
The muggle clock on the wall ticked, and Alexandra watched the minute hand go all away around the clock.
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Meanwhile,
"That was easy." Sirius told James, and James shrugged.
"Not bad. Now let's hurry. We're late already and have to do paperwork."
"Don't think so." A voice sneered.
"Malfoy." Sirius sneered, turning around slowly.
"Hello Cousin."
"And Bellatrix." James sighed, snatching his wand and pointing it at the two.
Sirius quickly sent a patronus off to Moody and the rest.
"Too Bad you won't be alive when they turn up."Malfoy smirked.
James narrowed his eyes at them. "Don't be so arrogant."
Soon, spells were being shot everywhere, and James was glad when back up arrived.
"Potter, Black." Moody growled.
James and Sirius hurried towards him.
"Goodbye. Go fill out paperwork and then leave. Mrs. Longbottom contacted me to tell me to tell you to get your arses home if you were alive ."
James and Sirius chuckled. Alice must be getting frustrated.
"James, go to the apartment. I will finish paperwork." Sirius said.
James nodded, and he apparated to the appartment.
Lily jumped into his arms, and Alexandra stared at him.
"He's doing paperwork." James told her, and she let out a breath.
James kissed Lily softly, and Alice laughed at the Alexandra. She had fell back on to the couch and was looking at the ceiling, relieved.
"What took so long?" Lily asked softly.
James gulped. " Malfoy and Bellatrix attacked us."
Lily and Alexandra gasped, and Alice's eyes widened.
James hesitantly pulled a strain of Lily's hair and tucked it behind her ear. "Lils, I'm okay."
She shook her head. "But, Bellatrix. And Malfoy. No one who has met Bellatrix is okay! She's crazy!"
Alexandra nodded, remembering all of the Bellatrix patients.
James sighed. "Well, techniquely Sirius has been fine physically, and he grew up with her!"
"Physically."Alice snorted. "Because Mentally, he is crazy!"
Lily and Alexandra tried to not smile, but one slowly pulled at their lips.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Lily said quickly, trying to fight the smile.
"Positive."
They were interuppted by a soft pop and Sirius grinned. "Lily Flower is almost smiling!"
"Shut up Black."Lily growled good naturedly.
Alexandra just looked at him, not moving or saying anything.
Sirius frowned, then walked over to her and quickly kissed her on the cheek.
James carefully pulled Lily's hair away from her face, and she pushed him away, but she had a small smile on her face.
Sirius sighed. "Lex, look at me."
Alexandra jumped to her feet. "HERE I AM, WAITING HERE, SCARED THAT YOU WERE DEAD, AND YOU WERE FIGHTING BELLATRIX BLACK AND LUCIOUS MALFOY! YOU PROMISED IT WAS A MILD MISSION. ON MILD MISSIONS, YOU DON'T END UP FIGHTING BELLATRIX BLACK AND LUCIOUS MALFOY!"
Everyone except Lily looked taken back by her outburst.
James and Sirius glanced at each other.
Lily looked at the panic and fear on Sirius's face, and she sighed and went to sit stand by Alexandra.
Lily and Alexandra talked rapidly, and James and Sirius looked at the girls with surprised expressions.
Alexandra finally seemed to be calming down, and she jumped into Sirius's arms, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
James smiled, and Sirius smiled into Alexandra's hair.
Alexandra caught Sirius's lips with her own, and he spun her around quickly.
Alice glanced at her watch, and she got up and took out her wand. "I better go. Frank will be home by now."
Lily nodded, and James quickly picked her up by her waist. "Let's leave them alone."
Lily nodded, and the two bounded off, when James carefully pushed Lily against the wall and kissed her hungrily, and Lily smirked. She slipped out of his grip and ran down the hallway, leaving James stunned.
"Lily!"
Okay, sorry it wasn't as long as usual, but oh well
