Chapter IX: Looking for answers
IMPORTANT A/N: from now the thought will be Emi's and not Lily's as it used to be.
When Emi woke up, she didn't find Lily by her side. I was late already and Lily had surely gone to work some hours before. Emi had a few free days and she knew what she was going to use them for.
She got up and found Lily's note.
Dear Emi,
I have gone to work. Thanks for everything.
Lily.
"That's what friends are for" murmured Emi, "and now I am going to do you another favour."
Emi used the Flu Powder to get back home and changed her clothes, she had set her mind to find James.
She first went to the restaurant where they had had dinner. She looked for the waiter whom Lily had described unwittingly and asked him about James.
"Excuse me, have you by any chance seen Mr. Potter?"
"No, I am sorry. Last time I saw him, two nights ago, he was dinning with a young redhead. He usually comes here everynight but yesterday he didn't.. I am sorry ma'am."
"Thank you, anyway"
"This is getting more an more difficult" she thought.
Emi spent the whole morning visiting the places James used to go to when he was a Hogwarts' student. But he had either changed his preferences or she had had very bad luck. Either way, she did not find a single hint, a single clue that would lead her to him.
"I can't take it anymore. I give up. I am never going to find him."
She went to The Three Broomsticks, that crowded pub in Hogmeade. It was quite cozy and warming. It was a fine day, so she ordered a Butterbeer and drank it out doors. It gave her strength, she now felt she could continue with her search.
"Sooner or later I'll find him."
She glaced around. There were big and small shops, old and new, but none other attracted so much her attention as a little one in the corner. It was painted with bright coulours perfectly combined, not tacky at all. It had a banner that flashed from time to time saying…
"I can't believe it…"
Emi approached the little business.
"Such combination of colours could've only been made by him."
She was pretty sure he would know where to find him, maybe James was there… She'd thought of visiting him some time but as she did not know where to find him, she had forgotten about him.
She stood in front of the entrance for a while. Her search had made her relive the past and part of it which he had thought to be long forgotten.
"Ok… courage, woman, courage, if you want to help Lily, you have to enter…"
She saw a man, around twenty four, tall, shoulder-leght raven black hair, with deep blue eyes (A/N: he he, you must now know who he is… the god of all men…). He was assisting a young girl who had already fallen for him, smiling stupidly.
"It seem as if you haven't lost your charm."
Few minutes later the girl went out of the shop, giggling because they'd made contact when he had extended a card giving her his phone, assuring her to call him whenever she pleased.
Emi came closer to the desk. He siled at her, but Emi knew that his smiles always hid double intentions.
"He has not recognized me."
"Welcome to "Mischief Soldiers Trust", good day! May I help you? Anything you wish, a date, for example?"
"I see that you haven't changed a bit. You are still as self-centred as always. Why do you think I'd accept to go on a date with you, Sirius Black?"
