Well, here's the next chapter, there won't be many more as the story hasn't really gone how I had originally hoped it would and I'm a bit disappointed with some parts of it. I got his up as fast as I could but I cut my finger on a broken vase so it kinda hurts to type. It was suggested in my reviews that I should bring Lily into it more so this chapter is mainly focused on her. Thanks for all the reviews, keep 'em coming!!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the storyline.
Lily was sitting down on the soft grass by the Hogwarts Lake. She always used to sit in this very spot when she was a student here and somehow the atmosphere always managed to take her problems away for a while. But she wasn't sure if this problem would go away this time, no matter how long she sat by the lake. (A/N – the problem isn't that Harry's gay or anything, it's the fact that he split up with Ron, just so you're not confused :) )
FLASHBACK
James walked back up the staircase towards his ex-headmasters' office and gently opened the door. He walked in and was immediately pounced on by his wife.
"What happened? Is Harry ok?" she asked her husband.
"I followed him up to his dormitory and when I went in he was with his boyfriend and..." Lily abruptly stopped him...
"Really? What's he like?" she asked eagerly.
"What? Oh, um, he's a bit taller than Harry, ginger hair, freckles, blue eyes – can I carry on now?" He asked impatiently.
"Yes, you may." Said Lily, obviously quite content with the information.
"Well, we all had a bit of a row and then Harry got it into his head that I was trying to split them up and even though me and Ron..." he was cut short again.
"Ron's the boyfriends' name, right?" Lily asked.
"Yes, his name's Ron, um, Wesley I think he said." James pondered.
"Weasley. One of seven children all together." Dumbledore confirmed.
"Yes, anyway, even though me and Ron..."
"Ron and I." Lily corrected.
"Stop interrupting!" James practically yelled.
"Ok, ok, don't get your knickers in a twist!" Lily retorted.
"ANYWAY, Ron and I" he said, with emphasis on the 'Ron and I' part, " tried to convince him that I wasn't trying to split them up and Harry wouldn't listen and he broke up with Ron." James finished, mumbling the last part.
"WHAT?!" Lily cried.
"He broke up with him. Then I left so I don't know what happened after that." James confirmed. "I'm going for a walk by the..." James started.
"Quidditch pitch." Lily finished.
"You know me too well." James replied with a laugh before leaving the room again.
"I think I might go for a walk too; I quite miss seeing the giant squid in the lake." Lily said after a while, and with a nod from Dumbledore, she left the room and walked down to the lake, which is where we join her now.
END OF FLASHBACK
As she sat, gazing into the water and watching the few students who were still outside, one particular student caught her emerald eye. He sat against a tree not far away from where Lily was sitting, his ginger hair and bright blue eyes gleaming in the fading sunlight.
Lily slowly got up and walked round to where he was sitting. Ron, who hadn't noticed her walk up to him, jumped slightly when she spoke.
"You must be Ron." Lily stated.
"Yeah, you're Harry's mum aren't you? I've seen pictures of you in Harry's photo album." Ron replied.
"Yes, I am; Can I sit down?" she asked.
"Sure." Ron replied, moving slightly to make room for her.
"James told me what happened. What happened after he left?" she asked.
"Harry just said he needed some time alone so I came out here."
"I always used to come here when I had something on my mind too. James and Sirius would always go to the Quidditch pitch, Remus would go to the library and" she paused "well, we don't talk about Peter anymore."
"That's the same with me, Harry and Hermione, our best friend," he added after seeing the enquiring look on Lily's face. "and I can understand why you don't talk about Peter."
"You knew Peter?" Lily asked, surprised.
"Yeah, he was my pet rat for a while, until Sirius and Remus showed us that he was an Animagus." Ron replied.
"Oh; I guess I have a lot to catch up on."
"Yeah, you do." Ron replied with a small smile, which quickly faded.
They sat in silence for a while, watching the giant squid move from one end of the lake to the other.
"Um, are you ok about me and Harry, you know, going out?" Ron asked nervously.
"Yes, I'm fine with it. Surprisingly enough I'm not like James really; whatever makes Harry happy makes me happy."
"Well, I suppose we don't really have to worry about it anymore, seeing as he broke up with me." Said Ron despondently.
"Do you really like him?" Lily asked.
"I love him." Ron answered simply.
"In that case, I will do all I can to help you two get back together." Lily stated adamantly.
"Harry can be very stubborn when he wants to be so you might have your work cut out." Ron laughed.
"In that case, he's just like his Father, so I'll know how to handle him."
"What about James?"
"He'll help if he knows what's good for him." Lily replied, as she and Ron walked to the Quidditch pitch in search of James.
Please review! Next chapter will be up asap.
