Ms. 34 C?
The second Alex apperated away, so did Lily she had to see James. She had to know that he was ok. He had known she was with Alex but his face when he saw them. No he would be ok with it, he had to.
"JAMES." She called when she arrived in his living room. The family portrait looking down accusingly at her.
"What?" A short voice came from behind her. Lily turned sharply to find James sitting behind her quite relaxed his feet up on the coffee table in front and a glass of fire whiskey in his hand.
His face looked indifferent yet his eyes seemed sad.
"James," she panted "I can explain..."
"No need Lily. He's your boyfriend. I'm just a fling." He replied stiffly.
"No, no James it's not like..." She rushed. But James held his hand up commandingly.
"However seeing you with him, it, I don't know it just put things into perspective. I'm not getting any younger and I'm your professor for heavens sakes, it's just not proper. Lily I think this should end." His voice was expressionless, his eyes were cold. Lily felt her own eyes watering- He was really breaking up with her.
"But..."
"No buts, it was fun but that's all it was." No he wasn't breaking up with her. It seemed that according to him there was nothing to break up from. It was just a bit of fun?
"Fine." Lily said finally, her eyes stinging, but she refused to let him see her cry. This was nothing. NOTHING! If he thought so then so did she. "In my mind this never happened, we have never been anything more then teacher/ student and fellow order members. In my mind you are still a prat who can't teach, used to torment the hell out of me in school and still can't tame his fucking hair." With a pop she apperated back to her apartment and collapsed on her bed crying.
It was sickening. The second Alex had touched her she knew the difference in the two men. She knew that she wanted to break up with him. Alex was sweet, but that's all he'd ever be. He didn't have the same glowing aura, charming charisma and sexual chemistry that James did.
To most girls Alex would have been everything. He was hot, smart, sweet, filthy rich, son of Millicent Bagnold- Minister of Magic. He was everything a girl could need. But for Lily there was one problem and that was- he wasn't James.
On the floor next to Lily's bed was James' big blue quilt. The one she had stolen when she had tried to cover herself after the first time they had slept together. She couldn't take it back to him now, she couldn't face him after he made it clear she had just been an easy shag after he had meant so much to her.
Instead she just curled up into it, taking in its scent reliving its memories and crying herself to sleep. Professor James Potter was officially the biggest prat among an entire world of prats.
When Lily left James thumped his glass down on his coffee table. The cheek of her to come barging in like that flaunting the fact that she was still with her boyfriend and the having the nerve to seem upset when he chucked her.
Seriously James wondered if she had been giving points of who was better in bed and so fourth. The ideas flowing through his mind each more despicable, more unbelievable. Images of Bagnold touching her like James had. Did Alex feel the same sensations? Did he get as sexually aroused as James did even just looking at the girl in a certain light?
James ran upstairs to his bathroom and was physically sick from the Ideas running thought his mind. He forced himself to think of something else. Tomorrow was the full moon. He would be spending the night at Remus' farm. No girls to ruin anything, just a night with the lads.
James heard a distinct pop, he cautiously walked out the bathroom and into his bedroom scared that Lily had returned to finish him off. Peering round the door he was relieved to find Sirius instead.
"Hey mate, what brings you to my pad?" James asked. Sirius shrugged.
"Bored?" He smiled. "Got anything to eat? My fridge is empty."
"You know Sirius; your fridge will always be empty unless you fill it."
Sirius Sighed. "I know just like I knew the first time you told me last year. S'not my fault, I don't have a house elf anymore." He moaned. James just sighed- it was true they had shared this conversation at least once a week for about a year. Sirius always neglecting to take James' wisdom of being independent seriously.
"WOW! Halt Prongs and explain yourself!" Sirius exclaimed as they walked past James' spare room.
"I've been sleeping in the spare room whilst my quilts being dry cleaned." James lied.
"Sleeping with whom though?"
"How do you know?" James gasped. Sirius took 4 long arrogant strides across the room and picked up a black Lacy piece of material. Damn it, James thought- Why can't Lily ever put her under wear back on after. Wait bad thoughts! Think of any thing else just not Lily in no underwear. In opening his eyes James could stop thinking as Sirius was now attempting to put on the bra.
"Who is she Prongs?" He said tangling himself up.
"She's no-one, a one night stand."
"You're lying." Sirius stated actually getting serious. "I can tell."
"She's no one trust me." James repeated his temper rising.
"Fine, don't tell me then." Sirius smiled. "Until you do, we will call her..." He stepped out of the bra after managing to get the straps down, and he looked at the label. "Ms 34 C. Nice."
"I'm sure that'd please her." James muttered. "Being named by her measurements." He smiled at the image of Lily's face in hearing that.
NO WAIT! He was supposed to be mad at her. "Sirius just leave it."
"Nuh uh, S'not fair if you're getting lucky and not telling me. I'm your best friend."
"It was just a big mistake which I regret. I really don't feel like talking about it." James gave his mate the look which meant leave it. So Sirius very reluctantly left it... for the time being.
The next morning James was not looking forward to teaching. He had been awake most of the night thinking about it. He woke up early feeling tired, un refreshed and all hot and sticky. Even after his shower he felt worse for wear. Not being able to shake the feeling of rejection which he had received the second she had opened the door to him yesterday. All the anger which had been flowing through him the previous night had dispersed and now he was left with self pity.
When he knocked on the door, he wasn't sure if she had been in and when it had opened he remembered being filled with joy. Then she appears, her shirt half hanging off, hair and absolute mess, still gorgeous though- had she been asleep? He thought. No, cause then her bloody boyfriend comes up behind her smirking like a man who's just been laid and damn proud of the fact.
Thinking quick on his feet James had claimed he needed Lily's homework. Ok it wasn't the best excuse but would you find one at a time like this? He really never knew how much he genuinely liked the girl until that point.
And now after her ripping his heart in two, he had to teach her. Today was going to be fun.
"Miss Evans you are late." James groaned. "This is getting too much of a habit."
"So put me in detention." She snapped. James faltered he didn't want her in detention and she knew it.
"No just don't be late again."
The class was going quite smoothly seeing as Lily and James were trying their hardest not to say anything. That was until the after noon.
James had just finished his talk on patient confidentiality and was now moving on to healer rights.
"As a Healer you have to right to turn away the patient. But only for one of the following reasons; The client uses violent or sexually offensive langue towards you. If the client is known to be using another healer as well..."
"Sir why is that a problem?" One of the girls at the front put her hand up.
"what?"
"If the client is using two healers?"
"Well, they could both be prescribing different potions to the client which collectively would be harmful."
Lily raised her hand. "What if the patient decided to try a new healer because the first didn't feel right?"
"Well she should finish with the first healer before trying the new one. Other wise it's unfair to both."
"But say she's been with the first healer for years and she just found it hard to step away?"
"Not acceptable still."
"So even if she realised the error of her mistake and agreed to part from the first healer you still wouldn't take her on?"
"No. She shouldn't have done it in the first place and if she gets bored so easily with the first healer then what's to say she won't with the second healer?"
"Well I think that's pathetic to be honest."
"Well then you won't do very well in the test you have to do later will you."
A week passed in this manor. Lily hadn't seen Alex at all since that Monday. She had tried to get in touch with him but he wasn't returning her owls. She knew she had to break up with him and soon. Finally she got an owl. All it said was;
Dinner,
Wednesday at 9pm,
Formal dress needed.
Pick you up at 8.30pm.
Lily thought this slightly weird. The way it had been written was more of an invitation rather then a letter. It was very un Alex. Anyway that didn't matter she had to break up with him.
Dressed in a long black dress, her hair up in a bun and a light coating of make up on she climbed into the carriage which picked her up outside her house. If she had a bad feeling about this before, now was worse. Alex was sitting opposite her wearing smart black velveteen robes and a large grin.
"You look stunning." He gushed.
"I don't feel stunning." She replied.
"Well you are." He stated.
"Lets talk about something else. How was your day?" Alex as well as wanting to run for minister one day was training in magical law.
"It was fine, My lecturer wants me to take the advanced course when I'm finished but, I don't know?"
"Well maybe you should, it'd improve you chances of being elected minister."
The small talk carried on the rest of the journey. Then after their entrance like royalty it continued through the starters (Alex ordered them Avocado Prawns), it carried over through main course (filet minion) and it went over desert (chocolate dipped strawberries and Champagne.)
Lily could handle small talk, now they had both finished she now had to get on with what she had been stalling all night.
"Alex, we..."
"Lily, I need to tell you how much I love you." Alex bent down on one knee, in front of a gob smacked Lily, producing the biggest engagement ring she had ever seen. She could feel the silence around her of the restaurant witnessing the minister of magic's only son proposing. "Lily you would make me the happiest man alive if you would marry me."
Alex Bagnold never became the happiest man alive. Not even close.
"Prongs mate look at this." Sirius Black shoved a newspaper in front of his best mate's eyes. "She that fit student you can't stand right?"
James' eyes quickly flicked to the newspaper. A picture on the front showed Lily Evans looking beautifully gob smacked sitting in front of a man on one knee.
The headline read;
"Ministers Son rejected"
"As the Minister of Magic fails to stomp out the rising dark lord, her son is not doing any better. Last night there were many witnesses to Alex Bagnold proposing to his year long girl friend. Muggle born Lily Evans. After he traditionally got down on one knee "popping the question" she burst into tears, proclaiming she was in love with some one else. She then grabbed her bag and run out on Bagnold, leaving him with a broken heart and the bill. Should we be asking if the minister of magic is capable of recognising the divides which are happening through out this country when her own son can't even realise the fall apart in his own relationship?"
