Chapter Fourteen awaits you...dun dun dun...

Chapter Fourteen: The Club

Damn the world and it's bad fortune. Why? Why must when I'm finally having a good time must Malfoy come and destroy all hope of good in the world for me?! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating but I really hate the guy. He spent seven years calling me 'mudblood', who wouldn't hate him for that?

"Malfoy." I greeted, more like spat, but whatever floats my boat. Where was James, Remus, Sirius or even the girls when you needed them?

"Mudblood." He said, smirking at me. I think he just likes to see my face turn red or something. There wasn't even a meaning in the word. He wasn't mad at me, annoyed or anything. He just wanted to say it to make me angry. And let me tell you...it was working. It always did.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked with clenched fists.

"You." He said simply and my mouth dropped open. What the hell was he playing at? Ah, a trick. I should've known.

"I'm taken. Not like I would even consider with going out with a bastard anyways." I said shortly, turning and heading to the dance floor where I suspected Remus would be.

But a cold, bony hand stopped me from leaving. I turned around, with my eyes narrowed into slits.

"Don't. Bloody. Ever. Touch. Me. Again." I said, glaring at him. He slanted an eyebrow, as though he were amused with my behavior.

"I like them feisty." He whispered and I pulled my hand back ready to slap him when another hand grabbed it.

I saw Remus standing next to me, glaring daggers at Malfoy. Remus dropped my hand and pulled me out of Malfoy's grasp.

"Ah, the werewolf. Well mudblood, even I would have thought you had better taste than this." Lucius sneered and I took a step back, pointing my wand at his throat.

"Don't talk about Remus like that." I snarled angrily. Remus simply pushed my hand down and pulled me away from him, into the crowd.

"I'll be waiting mudblood!" Lucius yelled and I could feel heads staring at me. I hurried after Remus, who was leading me to the other side of the club.

"I could've taken him Remus!" I whined and Remus just rolled his eyes.

"Lily, you know you shouldn't beat up people in clubs." He scolded as we walked up to Sirius, Abbey and Anais.

"Lily! I thought you learned your lesson last time!" Sirius said playfully and I stuck out my tongue at him.

"In my defense, he started it and I wasn't the only one throwing punches, Sirius dear." I said and he grinned cheekily.

"Where's James?" I asked and they all shrugged. I walked over to the bar and stood on my tip-toes to spot James' familiar messy hair.

After a couple minutes of looking I found him sitting on a bar stool, talking to the bartender. I smiled at him and when he spotted me he jumped up and walked over to me.

"Hey babe!" James said, throwing his arms around me. The smile I was wearing quickly turned into a frown as I smelled his breath.

Firewhiskey breath.

"James. Have you been drinking?" I asked and James nodded his head enthusiastically.

"That guy-" He pointed to the bartender who nodded and winked at me. "-Kept giving me glasses of water. But they tasted really weird like....I don't know, but he kept giving me more. And Lily, guess what?! They were....FREE!" James said this all very fast and it's amazing I caught any of it.

"James, I think you should go home." I told him as I held onto his arm while he stumbled.

"But Lily, we haven't even danced yet!" James exclaimed, scurrying off onto the dance floor. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.

I followed after him and saw him dancing rather energetically in the middle of the floor. I held my breath so I wouldn't laugh as James...'busted a move'. But it was rather entertaining.

"James!" I called out to him and he looked up at me, still dancing.

"There's peppermint ice cream over there!" I pointed to the exit of the club and James grinned, heading that direction. I smiled to myself and quickly ran over to Remus, Sirius, Abbey and Nesie who were laughing at something Sirius just said.

"James is drunk, I'm taking him to your apartment, okay?" I told Remus and he nodded. I took off after James and found him on the step of the exit.

"Hey James, sweetie, come here I have something to show you." I said, walking over to him. James stood up and I wrapped my arms around him in a hug, within a moment we had apparated back to James' place.

James looked around, confused and then looked at me.

"James, you shouldn't drink." I told him seriously, as he fell onto the couch unceremoniously.

"I don't think as much as I drink, you know." He told me with such a serious face I couldn't help but giggle.

"Right, James. Get to bed." I said pushing him towards what I supposed was his bedroom.

"I don't wanna." He muttered sleepily and I rolled my eyes.

"Go!" I gave him one last push into his room and he spun around, catching my hand. Quite graceful for a drunken man.

"Stay with me." He ordered quietly and I shrugged, sitting on the side of his bed while he got in. I watched as he pulled the covers down then patted the spot next to him for me to join him.

"What? It's not like we've never slept together before." James said and I sent him a mock glare before sliding in next to him. I ran my hand through his hair while he drifted off into sleep.

-The next morning

"James, wake up. Come on baby, it's twelve already. Don't waste the day." I muttered into James' ear as he shifted around in bed.

"G'away." He mumbled and I grinned, knowing that a hangover was coming his way.

"OH JAMES LUNCH IS READY AND I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!" I yelled loudly and then ran quickly out of the room before James could see who the culprit was.

Sirius and Remus grinned at me and I laughed as I heard a loud groan and then a 'plunk' which meant I had successfully woken James up.

"Congragulations. You now have our blessing." Sirius said, bowing his head. I just sighed in disbelief of how immature Sirius could be.

"Lily. How could you do that to me. You knew I had a hangover and still...you...you...yelled!" James shouted at me in a whisper.

"OH! Sorry James. I had forgotten you had been drunk last night." I said as James winced at the sound of my voice.

"Sorry honey. Does this make it better?" I asked, kissing his forehead, then his cheeks. James shrugged and walked into the kitchen. I handed him a hangover-away potion and he swallowed it in one gulp.

"I'm back!" He exclaimed after two minutes of wincing from the horrible taste.

"How nice for you." Remus said dryly.

"So, Lily, what was up with the Malfoy thing last night?" Sirius burst out and I bit my tongue.

"What Malfoy thing?" James asked, his eyes turned into slits at just the mention of the name Malfoy.

"I saw him at the club last night." I said quietly and James eyes turned to me.

"And?"

"And we exchanged some words." I said simply, not really wanting to go into detail.

"Puh-lease Lily, you were about to rip his throat out when I got there." Remus added and I glared at him. He raised his hands in defeat and then went back to eating his cereal.

"Lily. What happened?" James asked and I frowned.

"Nothing, James. He was just annoying me as usual." I said, sitting down next to Remus and pouring a bowl of cereal.

"This isn't over." James stated.

"Stop freaking out James, it's not a big deal. He called me a mudblood and I told him to back off then Remus came and he called him a werewolf so I raised my wand at him and Remus pulled me away. That's all that happened. Now would you settle down and eat?" I asked in an annoyed voice.

James just shrugged and sat down, not speaking to anyone while he ate. I could tell he was thinking hard about something but I couldn't tell about what.

"I'm going back home. Bye guys." I said finally after all the silence, giving James a quick kiss on the head and apparating home.

Right when I got there I knew something was wrong. Our clean, new flat was dirty, broken and...empty.

"Abbey? Anais?" I called out and no one answered. What the hell happened to my apartment. I looked down the hall and to my horror I saw something red stained on the carpet.

Something that looked a whole lot like blood.
