Finally it was the night of the ball. Lily put on her green dress robes and put her hair in a lose bun. Strands of hair were falling from it framing her face. Rini had a similar look except her robes were a soft baby blue. Lily glanced at her watch. "Oh!" she gasped. "I've got to go! I need to meet him in ten minutes." Lily didn't say his name but Rini knew she meant Lucius.
Lily ran down the stairs as fast as her legs would carry her. When she reached the Common Room most of the guys stared. She had only put on a small and light amount of make-up on but it wasn't needed. She saw Remus and he looked at her with longing eyes. He had barely spoken to her since Sunday.
James looked at Lily and gave her a hug. "I still wish you were going with me instead of Malfoy," he whispered in her ear. Lily just gave him a peck on the cheek in reply.
Sirius came up to her next and said, "If he does anything, anything at all to hurt you, I swear I will personally rip out his jugular with my bare hands."
"Sirius, don't make threats like that. If you even try to carry that one out I will never speak to you again." Sirius just looked at her and then finally nodded in submission. "I must be off now. Be good dears tonight and stay out of trouble." They both gave her an okay as she left through the portrait hole.
Lily waited in the Entrance Hall for Lucius. She watched others head into the Great Hall.
Most of the students were already in the Great Hall when she felt someone putting something in her hair. "A lily for Lily," someone whispered in her ear. Lily turned around and saw Lucius Malfoy. He had simple black dress robes on and his platinum blonde hair had nothing in it. It was parted in the center and made him look more handsome than Lily had ever seen him look.
Lucius stepped to the left of Lily and offered her his arm. She accepted it and they walked into the hall. Everyone stared at them as they entered. No one had expected Gryffindor and the school's most beautiful bacheloret and Slytherin's most charming bachelor to go together.
Lily glanced around and saw her friends. There was only one seat left, as Remus hadn't even bothered to find a date. "I think we'll have to sit you your friends, Lucius," Lily said.
Lucius led her over to his friends and pulled out her chair. Lily sat in it, still amazed at Lucius's impeccable manors. They chose their meals and began to eat. They talked about school. Lily said how her best subject was Charms and her worst was Transfiguration. The Slytherins said their best subject was Potions. There was no mention of either House being better than the other or the fact that Lily was muggle-born.
Lucius asked Lily to dance and she accepted. When they were on the dance floor she immediately said thank you.
"For what?" Lucius asked.
"For making them not mention my blood. For making them not bring our Houses into debate. And lastly, for being a complete and utter gentleman to me. I never would have thought it capable with the way you always treated me."
Lucius chuckled. "I only wanted to make sure nothing happened tonight to make you possibly hate me more."
"Oh, Lucius, really! I don't hate you. I dislike you sometimes, but never hate! I don't have it in me to hate anyone."
"I have a feeling you're right about that," Lucius said as he spun her around and then dipped her. "As for being a gentleman, Mother has always taught me manors. I just coincidentally forget them at times." Lily laughed.
A few songs later, the music stopped and Dumbledore stood up. "I am pleased to announce that we have a special treat for you," he said to the hall. "A very talented student has asked for permission to sing for us tonight. My I present, Miss Lily Evans of Gryffindor House." The entire school clapped as Lily walked up to the stage Dumbledore had magicked in.
Lily took the microphone she had had the Headmaster get for her off of the small table on the stage. Then she nodded to Dumbledore, who waved his wand and the background music for the song began playing and Lily started to sway. Right on cue Lily started to sing.
"Outside my door…the rain is falling. A cold, wild wind will come. Well there's someone for me…somewhere. But I still miss that one.
No I never got over those blue eyes. I see them…everywhere…. And I miss…those arms that held me. Baby, when all the love was there.
Well I wonder…if he's sorry. For ending what we had begun. Well there's someone…someone for me somewhere. Baby, well I still miss someone.
And I never got over those blue eyes. I see them…everywhere…. And I miss…those arms that held me. Ooh baby, when all the love was there."
Lily continued to sway to the music as a guitar solo came up. Everyone was raptly watching her, waiting for her to continue. When the guitar solo ended she began again.
"And I never got over those blue eyes. I see them…everywhere…. And I miss…those arms that held me. Baby, when all the love was there. Baby, when all the love was there. Baby, when all the love was there…"
Lily curtsied after the song ended. All the students were clapping, as well as the teachers. She climbed off the stage and went back to Lucius. "Let's go sit down. I want to sit with my friends this time." Lily didn't wait for his reply. She just grabbed his hand and started walking over to the table they were sitting at. Glancing quickly around, Lily noticed Remus wasn't there.
"Hi guys," she said cheerfully when she reached the table.
They all looked at her and smiled widely. Then they noticed Lucius and Lily saw James, Rini, and Sirius's eyes flash with fire. Looking directly at James, Lily told him that they better not start anything with her mind. James nodded.
"That was beautiful, Lils!" James said happily as he got up and gave her a hug a peck on the cheek.
"Yeah, Lils. Absolutely beautiful," Sirius said, following James's example.
"Thanks. I believe you all know Lucius," she said timidly. Everyone said quiet hellos. Lily and Lucius sat down.
"Lily, this is Elle," James said, introducing his date.
Lily said hello to the slightly small blonde haired girl with blue eyes. "You look familiar," Lily said. "What House and year are you in?"
"Ravenclaw. I'm in your year. That's probably why I look familiar."
"I see," was all Lily said.
The conversation was going all right, in Lily's opinion. She noticed Lucius was fairly uncomfortable, just as she had been with his friends. Suddenly, Sirius asked Lucius a question Lily would have to kill him for.
"So Lucius," he said smoothly, "why did you ask our precious Lily to the ball?"
Lily jumped out of her seat at Sirius. "Why Sirius, you little—" Lily was never able to finish what she was about to say because Lucius had grabbed her arms and whispered that everything was all right in her ear. Lily reluctantly sat back down in her chair, still seething at Sirius's remark.
"If you truly wish to know, Sirius, I have always thought Lily to be beautiful. I also know she is very intelligent. Until this year, I have never been able to get close enough to Lily to be nice and ask her out since she was always surrounded by you four." Lucius said this all as smoothly as Sirius had asked the question.
"Then why have you always been so mean and God awful to her?" Rini snapped.
Lucius sighed and glanced at Lily. "That was merely to aggravate you four. You should have realized that. It was never done to hurt her, just you four."
"Well, that is the worst ex—"
Rini was cut off by Lily exclaiming, "Can you all please stop talking about me as if I'm not here! You four, leave Lucius alone. Lucius, you tell your friends to leave me alone. As for our little groups of friends, do whatever you want to each other! Just leave Lucius and me out of it!" Lily grabbed Lucius's hand and dragged him out of the hall.
Lily stormed across the grounds to the lake, Lucius in toe. Upon reaching it, she told Lucius to stay back if he didn't want to get hurt, and raised her hands in front of her. Lucius watched in awe as Lily created an energy orb like the one he had seen on the train. He couldn't believe the size it grew to before she threw it into the lake where it hissed and turned into steam.
Lily looked rather drained to Lucius after she threw the orb. He went over to her and put his arm around her waist for support. Lily crouched down and set her hands into the water, which hissed from the amount of heat. Standing back up, Lucius put his arm around her waist once more and kissed her forehead lightly. "You all right, now?" he asked quietly. Lily nodded and allowed Lucius to steer her back into the Great Hall.
When they re-entered James saw how dependent Lily was on Lucius to stay on her feet and pointed this out to the others. Sirius dismissed it by saying, "She probably let off one of her energy orbs and accidentally gave off too much energy. She'll be fine with ol' Mister Manors over there. Can you believe how gentlemanly he's being towards her? He's got something planned. I know it."
Lucius had gotten Lily a glass of water. She had slowly drunk it. Lily looked a lot better afterwards. "You want to go dance again?" Lily asked Lucius after they had been sitting for about ten minutes. Lucius nodded and they both went back onto the dance floor.
Everything was normal for a while. Lily only danced with Lucius. She had to admit he looked a lot better now that he didn't have anything in his hair. His hair was even soft. His personality seemed to have taken a one-eighty over the last week. Those around them thought they made a nice couple. They were even glad that Gryffindors and Slytherins were getting along for once. The only people not happy were Gryffindor boys and Slytherin girls.
It was about eleven-thirty and Lily and Lucius were slow dancing. Lily wasn't having a good feeling. "Lucius, something is wrong. I can feel it. Something is about to or already has happened and I fear it has something to do with Voldemort."
"You speak the Dark Lord's name?" Lucius asked, surprised.
"Yes, but that's not the point. I have a headache and a feeling that something is planned for tonight. Something bad!"
Suddenly, Lily nearly doubled over in pain. "It's happening!" she cried to Lucius as he tried to hold her up. "Oh, dear God! What has he done?" Everything Lily had said after the first shot of pain seemed to echo throughout the Great Hall. Everyone stopped dancing and looked towards them. Lily had fallen to the floor in a dead faint while Lucius tried to hold her.
Once again, Professors Dumbledore and Cauldro took Lily to the hospital wing. Lucius followed, to show the rest of the hall that he cared about what happened to Lily.
When Lily woke up, she saw that she was in the hospital wing once again. "They should just give me a permanent room in the infirmary," she said sarcastically. Looking on the bed to her left, Lily's eyes widened as she saw Lucius. She sat up and saw that Professor Dumbledore was once again sitting in that same chair.
"It's good to see you awake, Lily," he said pleasantly.
"Headmaster, why are Lucius and I here?"
"Mister Malfoy is here because James, Sirius, and Remus gave him three powerful hexes because they thought he did something to you and knocked him unconscious." Lily groaned. "Yes, yes, I know. They, unfortunately, have all received detentions."
"What about me, Professor? Why am I here?"
Dumbledore sighed a sad sigh and looked down. Looking back up at Lily he said, "You fell unconscious at the ball."
"The last thing I remember about the ball is I was dancing with Lucius and then I felt a great amount of pain."
"Yes," he murmured, "Synthia said you probably did."
"What happened, Professor?" Lily asked in a whisper, near tears. "What happened on Halloween that forced me to feel so much pain?"
"I'm afraid," Dumbledore began slowly, "I'm afraid he has killed someone you love most dearly. That is the only way you could feel the pain, if someone you love dearly is killed."
"Who?" Lily's voice was barely audible and tears blurred her vision.
"Your mother, Lillian. He killed your mother." Dumbledore had tried to give her the news as gently as possible. He watched as tears rolled down her cheeks and as the shock wore away to grief, sadness, and anger. He also saw a need for comfort. The need to lean on someone's shoulder to cry on. Dumbledore also knew he would be that shoulders for now, as none of her friends were present.
He walked over and sat on her bed, placing his arms around her and stroking her hair like she was a small child. Lily clung to him. Even though she had not been able to voice her anguish, Lily knew Dumbledore understood how she felt. Lily clung to the man who she thought of as a father to all and cried.
When Lily had cried herself to sleep, Dumbledore lay her back on her bed. He looked at the child with deep sorrow. She was so young and yet facing problems even adults have trouble facing. He thought that the Sorting Hat did well in placing her and then left.
Lily woke up to Lucius sitting beside her. "Are you alright?" she exclaimed. "Dumbledore told me those three idiots hexed you."
"Yes, they did," he said scornfully. "I'm all right now, though. And you? Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I…" she looked down as what happened during the night came back to her fully. Looking back up with tears in her eyes she exclaimed, "My mother's dead! That's what happened last night. He killed her! He killed her!" she cried as she fell onto Lucius's shoulder, where she was unable to see the nasty grin on his face.
"It's okay," he said soothingly, still with a smile. "Everything will be all right."
They were interrupted when they heard James's voice yell, "What did you do to her, Malfoy?"
Lily looked up. "James! He didn't do anything, I swear! It's my mother, James. She's dead, James, she's dead."
James walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry! I know what it's like to lose a mother. Don't worry, though." He pulled away and looked at her. "We're here for you. Rini, Sirius, me, even Remus, we're all here for you."
"Can I just be left alone, please. I want to go back to sleep," Lily whispered.
"Alright," James said. "If you need us just tell Pomfrey and I'm sure she'll send for us." James kissed her on her forehead and waited outside the door.
Lucius stayed behind a bit. "Are you sure you're okay, Lily?" When Lily nodded, he said, "Okay. If you need me, you know I'll be there, right?"
"I guess so," Lily said hesitantly.
"Sleep well, then, Lovely Lily." Lucius kissed her cheek and left her bedside.
When Lucius had shut the door, James almost pounced on him. "Now listen here, Malfoy. If you so much as hurt one hair on Lily's head, I swear on my mother's grave that I shall not live a day without making you regret it. She's vulnerable right now, and no matter how much she might trust you I will never trust you. Sirius said you were up to something last night; I agree with him. You have been warned." James seemed to growl the last sentence and then left for breakfast.
"Oh, dear Jamsie-boy, " Lucius said to himself with a smirk, "you think you are high and mighty. You shall soon learn that Lily is mine to do with as I wish. Plus the Dark Lord has taken a liking to her. That's why Father told me to be with her," he said with a chuckle as he headed down the same path James had just gone to breakfast.
Lily was let out of the hospital wing that night. During the day she had ignored the matron's insistence for her to eat. On her way back to the Common Room stragglers in the hall stopped to stare at her because she was using her wings to float to her dorm.
When she reached the portrait hole, the Fat Lady gasped. Not noticing, Lily gave the password and floated wordlessly into the Common Room. When James, Remus, Rini, and Sirius saw Lily enter, they all stared. In fact, everyone in the Common Room stared. Lily didn't notice as she tiredly floated up to her dorm.
Lily flew into her dorm and laid herself gently on her bed. She didn't hear the door open again as James, Remus, Rini, and Sirius entered to see if she was okay.
Lily was still very tired and was almost asleep when she heard someone calling her name. "Lily? Come on, Lily, we know you're not asleep yet."
"But I almost am," she said quietly.
"Lily, come on. We're worried about you." It was James.
Lily quickly opened the curtains to see not only James and Rini, but Remus and Sirius as well. "You three shouldn't be in here," she said, trying to scold them.
Rini and Sirius sat on her bed and gave her a hug. "I'm so sorry, Lily," Sirius said. "I really am."
Lily couldn't help but begin to weep once more. "It's not fair!" she sobbed. "She didn't do anything wrong! Why'd he have to kill her?"
"He doesn't need a reason, Lily," James said. "Voldemort kills Muggles for the fun of it. If they have wizard children the better."
"Will you two get down here and give me a hug? Please?" Lily pleaded. James sat on the bed and gave her a hug without hesitation. Remus hung back. "Remus, get your arse over here and give me a hug!" Lily said through her tears as forcefully as she could.
Remus finally sat down on the bed and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry," he whispered in her ear. "I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you including what I've done."
Lily cried harder and started to rock back and forth. Lily had a friend on all four sides giving her a hug. They all fell asleep on Lily's bed with Lily surrounded by them.
When the rest of Lily and Rini's dorm-mates entered the dorm that night they were surprised to see three boys and to girls sleeping on Lily's bed. The Gem sisters started making all sorts of wild assumptions while Teresa figured that something tragic had happened to Lily by the way she entered the Common Room and that her friends were comforting her and they had all fallen asleep.
Lily awoke on Monday extremely hungry. It was before six as it wasn't even sunrise yet. Lily tried to get out of bed without waking the others, but failed and woke James. "I'm sorry James," she whispered. "I didn't mean to wake you."
"I'm a fairly light sleeper," he said with a smile. He climbed out of the pile on Lily's bed and helped Lily over Sirius.
"I'm hungry," Lily said with a pout as she and James reached the Common Room.
"So what do you want me to do about it?" James asked, still smiling.
"I want you to take me to the kitchens. Don't even try saying you don't know where they are because I know you and Sirius do."
James gave her a look and tried to hear her thoughts but all he heard was static. "Hold on," he said as he rushed up to his dorm room. He came back down with a shimmering cloak in his hands. "I believe you know what this is."
"The invisibility cloak," Lily murmured. James nodded as he grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the Common Room.
Once outside, James threw the cloak over himself and Lily. "Be very quiet and don't step on my heels," he whispered. She nodded and they both crept quietly to the kitchens. They had to duck into an empty classroom twice; once to avoid Peeves the Poltergeist and once to avoid Mrs. Norris, the caretaker's cat.
"Can't we give her a good kick?" Lily's voice was barely audible to James. "Just this once." James laughed quietly but shook his head no.
When they finally reached the portrait leading to kitchens, James took the cloak off and tickled the pair in the portrait. A doorknob appeared and he opened it, allowing Lily to enter first. When James entered, one of the many house elves ran and gave him a hug.
"Oh, Mister James Potter has come back!" the little house elf squeaked. Lily assumed it was a female by how much it liked James. "James said he would return! Millie doubted it not!" Lily laughed and the house elf noticed her for the first time. She let go of James and said, "James Potter has…brought a date?"
Lily laughed even harder. "Me? James's date? No, I'm just a friend. What would make you think I was his date?"
Millie pointed to Lily's attire. Lily looked down and realized she still had her dress robes on. Lily remembered why she was still wearing them and her face contorted as she tried to hold back the tears.
"James," she said shakily, "get me an apple, orange, tangerine, mandarin, and some cherries. I'm sure the members of your little fan club would love to get those for you!" Lily ran out of the kitchens and back to the Common Room.
Millie looked at James with her big brown eyes. "What did Millie do wrong?"
James sighed. "Nothing, Millie. Just get the things Lily said and something you know I like." Millie did as James asked and then he went up to the Common Room to find Lily crying in an armchair.
James took off the cloak and set the food on a table. He sat on the arm of Lily's chair. "Why'd you go ballistic on Millie?"
"I'm sorry, James. It's just that these are the robes I was wearing when…" James sat in the chair and pulled Lily onto his lap as she began to cry again.
Once Lily had calmed down, James asked if she was still hungry and she nodded. She went to the table where the food was and sat down. James sat across from her. They silently ate their food for a few minutes before Lily spoke.
"James?"
"Hmmm?"
"I'm really lucky."
He looked up at her. "Why do you say that?"
"Because I have you, Remus, Rini, Sirius, Synthia and Dumbledore as friends."
"And we're lucky to have you, too, Lils." James leaned across the table and gave Lily a kiss on the forehead.
One thought went through Lily's head. Why did I say no to him when he asked me to the ball?
Lily didn't dare use her powers, for fear her overwhelming grief would cause one of her friends to get hurt again. She was so afraid of hurting them she spent most of her time with Lucius. She let Rini, Sirius, and James to work on the animagi potion. The only time they really ever saw her anymore was during classes, meals, and Quidditch practice.
It was mid November and the first Quidditch match was in a few days. Lily had been permitted to leave Hogwarts to go to her mother's funeral. She had asked for James to go with her because she knew he would give her the support and comfort she needed without wanting anything in return. James had accepted after talking to Remus, who was still obsessing over the fact that 'his Lily' was going out with Lucius Malfoy, one of his worst enemies.
Now Lily went to Lucius for comfort and help with almost anything that confronted her. It was one of those times that Lily was feeling down that she found herself sitting in Lucius's lap with her head against his chest by the lake. Because of how she was sitting, Lily once again didn't see the smirk on Lucius's face.
"Lucius, why are you so nice to me after all the guys, Rini, and I did?"
Lucius chuckled. "You just went along with your friends. Plus, I've never been one you could get to know, since I'm in Slytherin and you're in Gryffindor."
Lily looked up at him and smiled. "I can't understand why our houses don't get along. I mean, I know all about Godric and Salazar's disagreement, but I find it ridiculous. Here you and I are, Gryffindor and Slytherin, getting along perfectly fine."
Lucius kissed the top of her head. "I know," he said. "I know." He couldn't believe how well Lily trusted him, yet he was feeling slightly guilty of deceiving her the way he was. He remembered the last conversation he had had with his father. Especially the last thing he said. You find some way to get that mudblood to our Master or else you'll be the one to suffer. Lucius quickly shook his head trying to get rid of his father's words.
A gust of wind came and Lily curled up deeper in Lucius's lap. He instantly wrapped his cloak around the both of them. Lily looked up with appreciation in her eyes and smiled. Lucius decided to give her an actual kiss. He leaned down and their lips met. Lucius wondered if he could get her to deepen the kiss but Lily refused. Disappointed, he broke away from her and pulled her into a hug.
Unbeknownst to either of them, James and Remus were watching them from separate windows, both feeling pangs of anger and jealousy.
When Lily and Lucius came back into the castle, Lily gave him a quick hug and said she was off to her dorm. Lucius bid her farewell and watched her walk out of sight.
On her way up to the Gryffindor tower, she passed James and stopped. He was sitting under a window, pouting. "Are you alright, James?" Lily asked worriedly.
"Just fine," James said with an edge in his voice.
"If you say so," Lily said. "I would kiss your forehead to show how much I appreciate everything you've done for me, but Lucius just kissed my for the first time on the lips and I doubt you want my lips anywhere near you after that."
James chuckled and looked up at her. "You're right. That doesn't mean I won't hug you though." James stood up and pulled Lily into a warm hug and kissed her forehead. James, Sirius, and Remus had always been taller than her and didn't have trouble kissing her forehead.
"Come on," James said. "Let's get back to the Common Room." Lily nodded as they put their arm around the other and walked to the Gryffindor tower.
Lucius had followed Lily quietly, to see if she could show him where Gryffindor tower actually was. When he had seen Lily stop and talk to James, he had hidden close enough to hear their conversation and scowled when James had agreed with Lily. His scowl grew deeper as he saw Lily and James wrap a friendly arm around each other and start walking. He continued to watch as they playfully bumped each other and as James twirled and then dipped Lily. Lucius walked away with an angry scowl on his face when the two friends walked around a corner at the end of the hall.
When Lily and James walked into the Common Room, they where reduced to fits of giggles and chuckles. Remus wasn't very happy when he saw them come in. "Where have you been?" he demanded.
The tone of his voice was very effective at sobering them out of the laughing mood. Lily dropped her gaze to the floor and mumbled something about having work to do and ran up the stairs. James turned to Remus with a frown. "What was that for?"
"I saw her down there with him! How am I supposed to deal—" Remus was never able to finish his sentence.
"I saw them too, Remus!" James said angrily. "It kills me to see her with him because I know she can do better than him and there is little worse she could do than him. I was just as angry as you were seeing them down there. I know she deserves better than Malfoy! Everyone knows it! Except Lily," he said in defeat.
"Lily doesn't see that Malfoy will never change. She sees that he is there for her in her time of need, just as we should be. I am trying to be there, but I know Lily is afraid to be around us because her emotions are off kilter and she could do some serious damage. She knows this and is trying to protect us in her own way. Her fear for our safety is what drives her towards Malfoy, not an actual love for him."
"But she kissed him, James! Lily kissed Lucius Malfoy!" Remus spat.
"That where you're wrong, Remus," James shot back. "Lily didn't kiss Malfoy; Malfoy kissed Lily! He probably tried to get some tongue action as well, but I think Lily was smart enough to not let him take it that far. If you want to be mad at anyone be mad at Lucius, not Lily."
Remus sighed and sat back down. "I am mad at Malfoy, damn it!" he said despairingly. "I'm mad at him for even touching Lily let alone consoling her the way I should be right now. She even lets you in, James. I haven't been graced with her presence in the morning since we broke up. I miss being able to hold her when we talk. I miss the feel and smell of her hair. I just plain miss her! I miss my little flower." Remus's last sentence was barely audible.
James sat beside Remus and put a hand on his back. "She's not the same, Remus. She's not your little flower anymore. She's not the Lily we met back in first year at Diagon Alley. She's become more and less of what she was. A greater witch than any other in this school, yet without the mother most of them have. She has three more friends but if you haven't noticed we're guys and she's a girl. She's closest with Rini out of all of us because they're both girls. As for her dating, you and she have gone out and now you're broken by her decision. About Malfoy, she's just doing this thing with him to get back at you, you numbskull!"
Remus whipped around. "She's only having this thing with Malfoy why?" he nearly shouted.
James let out a heavy sigh. "To get back at you for treating her like she needed permission to do everything."
"Is that really how she feels? That I was…suffocating her?" James nodded. "I didn't even realize. Why didn't she tell me?"
"Because you didn't see it and you would have probably denied it."
"I've got to talk to her!" Remus stood up and headed for the girls' dorm when James grabbed the back of his robes and pulled him back down.
"Wait it out, Remus. Don't flip out on her and just wait it out for her to come back to you." Even as James said these words, he felt a bit jealous once again. He mentally scolded himself again for feeling like that and that it was for no reason.
AN: If any of you knows what song I put in this chapter please tell me because it's been so long that I dont remember what it is. I'm serious about that. Also, I'm sorry if my updates are a bit stretched apart. I'm not supposed to be on the computer at all. I keep sneaking on to take care of things, though. I'll update as much as possible, though, I promise.
