Sorry every1, I accidentally uploaded chap 1 again! Hi everyone!!!!!! I hoped you liked the last chap!

Heres the next one!!! The real next one!!

Chap 2. The problem with having a love life.

Lily walked into her apartment threw down her brief case, kicked off her shoes and went straight for the fridge. She took out a tub of yoghurt, and a spoon and proceeded to eat. The red light was flashing on her answering machine so she checked for messages.

"Lily make sure you meet me at 8 at Starbucks. Don't stand me up." Lily rolled her eyes. "And don't roll you eyes, they'll stick like it." James's voice boomed down the machine. She stood for a second shocked, then rolled her eyes again and checked for the next message.

"Lily, it's Albus Dubledore. Just calling to see how therapies going with Mr Malfoy. Well I hope?" Dumbledore chuckled down the phone which made Lily laugh. "If only." She muttered.

The clock struck seven. She threw her self on a comfy chair in the living room, with her yoghurt. She was tired and couldn't be bothered to change so she sat there and waited till 7.35 to leave.

James was waiting in Starbucks for Lily to arrive. The coffee house was quiet. He took a sip of his cappuccino and dead on 8. o clock, in strolled Lily. Looking immaculate as usual. Her locks of red curls were tied back behind her ears and she was wearing business clothes. She was wearing glasses which covered the magic of her sparkling emerald eyes, yet she still looked beautiful.

She walked in and sat down opposite James.

A waiter came over as soon as she had sat down. And he happened to be very good looking.

"Can I help you madam?" He asked her.

"Could I have a coffee please and one of those bagels with the cheese on?" She asked ever so politely.

"Yes, sugar in your coffee?" He asked her.

"No thank you, I'm sweet enough." She winked at James, who was gagging behind the waiter.

"Put your tongue back in your mouth Lil." James said when the waiter had gone.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Oh please. I saw you drooling. He looks about 12!" James laughed.

"Oh ha ha. Anyway, I thought we were here to talk about your love life." Lily presumed.

"And why do you say that?" James asked as Lily's beverage and bagel was bought over with the receipt and an extra piece of paper that seemed to have the waiters number on. Lily didn't notice though.

"Because if no ones dead then it's got to be about Narcissa. Am I right?"

"Yes." Narcissa was James 'deranged fiancée' as Sirius and Lily would call her. Remus however thought this but was too polite to say it.

"What is it this time?" Lily asked exasperatedly.

"Lil. Don't say it like that." James whined. Lily for a moment felt sorry for James.

"Ok. What is it that your lovely fiancée has done that has made you ever so upset?" She asked with a sly grin, and both of them burst into laughter.

"Lil. I think she's having an affair." He whispered.

"What who would want that cow?" It came out before Lily could stop it. "Sorry!" She said quickly.

"No. Your right. I thought that myself but remember Lucius Malfoy her old boyfriend from Hogwarts?" He asked.

"Oh yes. Guess who has the wonderful pleasure of being his therapist?" She said with an oh so fake smile.

"Not you?"

"Yes me? And don't laugh because it really isn't funny." She glared at him, but he still proceeded to laugh.

"Anyway what about him?" Lily asked.

"Well, a few months ago, she said she had seen him in Knockturn Ally. I never thought anything of it. But recently she's been getting dressed up and making an effort for work. Also she's been coming home late and if she's on the phone and I walk in, she'll put it down."

"Your joking right?" Lily asked taking a bite out of her bagel.

"No."

"So what are you planning on doing?" She asked.

"Well, I was hoping you could tell me." He looked at her with a sad face.

"James I'm a shrink, not an agony aunt. Have you asked Sirius or Remus?" She asked.

"Yes."

"And?"

"They said ask Lily." He shrugged.

"Why is it always asked Lily. Doesn't Lily have her own life to sort out?" She asked indignantly.

"It's not that. It's just your the one whose always been there with advise." He said quietly.

She smiled sympathetically. "Well have you any real evidence she is having an affair?"

"Not really. I suppose I could try following her."

"No! Because what if she is completely innocent and she finds you following her she'll think you don't trust her."

"But I don't trust her.

"Well..."

"Wait a minute. I have an idea! I am so good." James shouted, gaining a few glances from the waiters.

"Shh. James."

"Sorry. Your Malfoys therapist right?" He asked.

"Yes." She said confused. But then it clicked.

"No. James no!"

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because it would involve risking my job."

"All you have to do is find out if he is sleeping with her. If he is you just tell me, if not..."

"We go back to our happy lives." Lily finished his sentence for him.

"No."

"And why not?"

"Because I don't love her." He said. "So are you going to help out or what?"

"James, he doesn't even talk to me properly. Like he's going to tell me if he's having an affair or not."

"Lily please do this. Please! Have I ever asked you to do anything for me before?"

"Yes! James. I really can't."

"Lily, please. I'll be in your debt!"

Lily sighed. "James, if I do this, promise no one finds out I've told you anything. Because what ever he says to me is completely confidential. I'm not allowed to tell anyone."

"No one will find out, except maybe Sirius and Remus. But that's it!"

"Fine I'll do it. God the things I do for you." She said. While checking the receipt and finding the waiters number on the piece of paper whose name happened to be Ryan. She screwed the paper up and tossed it in the bin.

"Lily, I thought you liked him."

"I have no time for men in my life. I have other things on my mind."

"Lily you need to get out on a date!"

"I do go on dates."

"Oh yeah? When was the last time you went out on a date, when was the last time you slept with a man?"

"None of your business! You should worry about your love life, and leave mine alone."

"You haven't got one!" He smirked.

"Only because I don't want one and by the looks of yours, I'm glad I don't have one!"

Done!! I hope you like it. Its longer then the last chap!

Please R/R.

luv
