Lily, James, Sirius and Remus sat in there favourite restaurant at a corner table, having just finished a truly wonderful meal. It was Friday night and this was a regular occurrence for them to meet up and relax in each others company.

"That was good food!" Sirius said patting his stomach appreciatively.

They all laughed and nodded in agreement.

"So Lily how's therapy with Malfoy going? Is he giving you a hard time still?" Remus asked her.

"Yeah because if he is we'll nail." Sirius butted in.

"No thank you Sirius." She smiled sipping her wine. "Actually things are improving, I mean he's no closer to telling me who he's sleeping with, but he has started opening up to me." She sighed.

"James, how's the deranged fiancée?" Sirius asked him. Lily glared at him, but James didn't seem too bothered, he was used to them calling Narcissa this.

"Well she's still acting oddly." (She was born odd added Sirius) "and still dressing up and coming home even later. I asked her why she was dressing up so much and coming home late, and she snapped something about, do I want her to go out looking horrible (she does anyway added Sirius) and not work at all. So I left it at that." James said miserably.

"Well I have another session with him tomorrow and we'll see how things go from there." Lily smiled sympathetically. Tonight she had taken her glasses off and her eyes were now sparkling vigorously. Her hair was tied into an elegant knot and she wore a simple green dress robe that clashed fabulously with her eyes. She looked simply beautiful.

James looked at her and hoped against hope that soon his relationship with Narcissa would soon be over.

"What I don't understand," She said taking another sip of wine and looking at James, "is if you want to finish with her anyway, why you don't just do it rather then us going through this whole process."

"It's a matter of pride Lily." Remus told her knowingly.

"A male thing you will never understand." Sirius smiled at her as she rolled her eyes.

"They'll stick like that." muttered James, something he'd been saying to her since Hogwarts.

"Well come on, enlighten me as to what this male thing is then." Lily said, pretty sure that she knew the whole concept of it already.

"Well, it's the fact that if she is cheating on me, I want to know, because whether it be her or Malfoy, one of them will pay for crossing James Potter, and I need a reason to finish it." He added simply, with a dangerous look in his eye.

"So that's the male thing I wasn't suppose to understand." Lily said sarcastically.

"Lily there is no doubting you are one of the cleverest and best witches I know but male pride is not your strong point." Sirius said to her.

"How can you say that to a woman who deals with Lucius Malfoy three times a week?" She asked incredulously.

"Yes but Lily, the point we're trying to make is that you've never actually experienced male pride from within a…. well…relationship perspective." James told her, choosing his words rather carefully.

"Don't start this again!" She laughed rather than being offended, as she poured herself another glass of wine.

"Well Lily. It's true, please, will you please get into a relationship with a nice young man." Sirius said motherly.

"Let me think about that one. Hold on, I would if I had some nice young men to choose from, but there aren't any." She said thoughtfully.

"Ouch, that stung!" Sirius said dramatically.

"You asked for it." She smiled innocently.

The next morning Lily woke up with a throbbing head. After realising she maybe had drank a little too much, she conjured a hang over potion and gulped it down.

She arrived in work that morning feeling refreshed (with a slight head ache) and smiled at everyone who walked passed her, then when in her office let out a great sigh. Lucius Malfoy was in today and he was not a person Lily wanted to see.

Her office door opened and Jenny walked in.

"Lily, Albus Dumbledore's on line one."

"Thank you." Lily told her and proceeded to pick up the phone.

"Good morning, Dumbledore." Lily stifled a yawn.

"And it is in fact, yes in deed." He said, his voice cheerful as ever. "You know Lily, I am quite getting accustomed to these muggle ways of communication." He told her referring to the phone.

"Haha." Lily laughed. "Is there anything you want?" She asked happily.

"Well I was just wondering whether Lucius is in today?" He asked her.

"Yes, may I ask why sir?" Four years on from Hogwarts and Lily had still not got out of the habit of calling Dumbledore sir.

"Of course you may ask why, you just did. The reason I am enquiring is because I have to warn you Lily, warn you very carefully and you must listen." Dumbledore's voice was very grave and serious. Lily rose out of her chair, and listened attentively.

"I have received recent information that Mr Malfoy, maybe, let's say mixing with the wrong sort of people and meddling with the wrong sort of things. Lily under no circumstances must you let Lucius know any of your own details, such as your address etcetera."

"Sorry to interrupt sir, but I would never…."

"Lily I know you would never of your own accord, but you must be very careful." Dumbledore emphasised the word own and sighed greatly down the phone.

"Yes, yes I understand" Said Lily slightly alarmed.

"Thank you Lily for not asking me any unnecessary questions about what I have said, you will be informed fully, I promise you. A certain Mr Potter has asked me to pass on a message, he will meet you from work at your apartment."

"Than you Sir. I…" There was a knock on the door and Jenny came in "Hold on one moment Sir."

"Yes Jenny."

"Mr Malfoys here." Jenny said.
"Ok, send him in."

"Sir he's here, I will have to go."

"Yes Lily. Remember what I have said."

"Ok thank you, Good bye." She said changing her tone of voice as Lucius came in and took his usual seat.

"Lily." He said with a smug smile on his face.

"Lucius." Lily said rummaging through her files. She wanted to think about what Dumbledore had just said. She knew what he had meant by Lucius meddling in things, she'd suspected for a long time. But why was he giving her warnings, silly warnings at that. Why would she give him details about her self. "of you own accord" she remembered Dumbledore saying. Of course that meant that Lucius may try and get them another way, but why would he want them?

"Are we going to get on with the session or what?" Lucius's drawling voice disturbed her train of thought.

"Yes. Sorry." She said briskly and walked over to him. She sat in her usual position and tried to forget about the recent phone call.

She looked through her port folio, then looked back up at him.

"It seems we've covered you social status, your working environment, your living quarters and your finances. How about you tell me about your love life Lucius?" She wasn't sure how this would work out but all she knew was that she had to try.

He looked at her abruptly for a second then turned his head.

"That is assuming you have one?" She tried not to sound sarcastic or cocky.

"Of course I have one." He snapped. "Not all of us are anti social you know." He spat at her.

"Yes, yes. So do you want to talk about your love life?" She asked him again in a calmer much nicer voice.

"Not really." He drawled, but I suppose I'd better had before you report me to someone." He sneered at her.

"Well done Lucius, We are coming along quite well." She smiled. "So anyone in particular?" She asked him.

"Yes."

"Special, is she?"

"To an extent yes."

"How long have you been together would you say."

"None of you business." He spat at her.

She looked at him disapprovingly and lowered her glasses. "Sorry? I didn't quite catch that." She asked.

"4 or 5 months."

"And is it a serious relationship. Do you see a lot of each other?"

"We spend a considerable amount of time together."

"Does this person have a name?" Asked Lily, half hoping for and against the name being Narcissa. If it was she wouldn't know how James would react. If it wasn't James would have to find another reason to get out of the relationship.

Ok done finito! How was it. I admitt it was a little rushed so there probably are a few mistakes in it.

Please r/r I luv you all.
