A/N: Before I start I would like to thank all my reviewers because, as I have said before, you are TOTALLY AEWSOME AND PERMANENTLY ON MY AEWSOME POSSUM LIST
Anyhoo. To strarbright_tigereyes: yes Ardmore was in that series by Norah Roberts but it's also a real place in Ireland. And about writing an R version… I did actually think of doing that but then I realized that I couldn't write love scenes especially considering I've never actually experienced it. So anyhow it's probably not going to happen, but hey! It could and thanks for the idea.
To Eihwaz and Lourdaise: thank you for telling me that there are indeed remote parts in London. Kind of assumed there were since it is a city, but you know… ya… I'm American and stupid… it's how I work……………
And now this author's note is far too long and a lot longer than I had planned to make it. So Anyhoo! Here it is! The short awaited… the rest of chapter seven!!
Chapter Seven
Lily and James walked, hand in hand, into the Great Hall for breakfast several weeks after their declarations of love. They had spent almost every moment together since that day and had been receiving several death glares from a certain Gryffindor named Amy.
"She's looking at us again," Lily said to James as they sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"Just ignore her," he said.
"Okay. So how's it going, guys?" she asked Remus and Sirius. They looked up at her glumly.
"You haven't seen the paper yet?" asked Sirius.
"No," said James, "why?" Sirius handed him the newspaper. James flipped to the front page that sported a black and white picture of ministry personnel rummaging through ruins and the title "Mass Muggle Killing in London."
Lily gasped. "Oh my Goddess," she whispered. James began to read the paper to himself.
"They say it was last night in some remote bit of London so there weren't too many memories to modify," he said. "And that Ministry officials have started an investigation to find out who did it. They think it was some guy calling himself Voldemort and a few of his followers or something."
"How many dead?" asked Lily.
"Twenty-five," replied James after scanning the page.
"Am I the only one depressed by this?" asked Sirius.
"No, Padfoot, you're not," said Remus.
"We had better get to class soon," said Ebony sadly.
"I'm too sad to go to class," said Sirius.
"Sirius Black, you will use any reason to skip class, won't you?" Ebony stated more than asked. Sirius smiled at her.
"It's part of my charm," he said.
"What 'charm' would that be?"
"You don't know about charm yet… you're not old enough, little sister,"
"TWO FUCKING MINUTES!" she yelled. Several people looked up to see what the commotion was.
"Yeah, whatever… baby sister," Sirius said which made Ebony scream and run at him. Remus caught her around the waist.
"I don't think it would be a good idea to attack your brother, love," he said. Ebony took a deep breath and straightened her robes.
"Let's get to class," she said and she stalked out of the Great Hall. The rest of the group shook their heads.
"Alright, then." Said Lily. They proceeded to class.
"James," said someone from somewhere in the Gryffindor common room. James stopped reading his book and looked around the room, but saw no one.
"You all right, darling?" asked Lily noticing his confusion.
"Yeah," he said after looking around again. "I thought I heard my name."
"James!" they voice said again.
"Okay, who said that?" he asked, turning around.
"It's me," said the voice. "The woman you dumped for your cheap Irish whore," said the voice.
"Who are you?" he asked angrily. No body called Lily a whore and got away with it. Then is struck him. Amy.
"And who else should I be, but you affianced?" asked Amy, coming out of the shadows. Lily gasped. James' fiancé?
Oh, shit, thought James. This was NOT how he had wanted Lily to find out.
"Fiancé?" Lily asked shakily. "You have a fiancé?"
"Lily," started James. The look of guilt on his face told Lily all she needed to know. She had never felt more betrayed in her life.
"You mean it's true?" she demanded.
"I was going to tell you –" he said.
"When?" Lily interrupted. "After the wedding? Well, don't bother, James Potter! You and I are over! For good this time!" she fled up the stairs to the Shrine.
Shit. Thought James again. He sat down and put his head in his hands.
"Ahh," said Amy. "Poor James and his whore got in a fight!" she said sounding falsely sympathetic. "Let me make it up to you," she said, climbing onto his lap and straddling him.
"Get off, bitch!" James yelled, physically throwing Amy from him. She fell onto the floor.
"I have tolerated your 'attentions' for the past two years. When are you going to get it through your thick skull that it is not I that wishes to marry you? My father is forcing me!" he raged at her. "You think I would willingly marry YOU?"
"James, baby, you don't mean that!" she said, softly.
"Yes, I do!" he yelled. "Get out of my sight! I don't want to see you. EVER!" Amy stood. Her eyes grew cold.
"My father will be hearing about this!" she said and stormed off to the sixth year girls' dorm.
James sighed. At least he was rid of her for while. But how was he ever going to get Lily to forgive him?
A/N: Ok… not that great. By the by.. by penname has been changed to Cyber Witch, but knowing me I'll change it back to Psycho Psychic pretty soon. Luv ya! Review and whatnot!
