Not Always
Chapter three:
Disclaimer: J.K. R. owns all you recognize..
I could make out Bella's face in the crowd of hundreds of people. It stood out completely. I could hear her give a small gasp as she saw me approaching from the opposite side of the sidewalk on the busy London city. She dropped the bag she was carrying and ran over. I still couldn't believe that she was there.
She screamed, "LILY!" and hugged me.
I stood there dazzled by the events that were taking place. I came to my senses abruptly and took her down the block and disappeared into the big brick building. She kept asking where we were going but I wouldn't tell her.
I opened the door to what was my apartment and pulled her inside and locked the door securely behind me. I told her to go and wait on the couch while I got some tea. I returned a few minutes later to the living room of my tiny apartment to see a very astonished Bella.
I sat down across from her on a beaten down sofa and handed her the tea. She immediately began talking, "Oh my god Lily! I can't believe I've found you! You have no idea how much we've missed you! Oh Lily, James will be so happy to."
"Bella, James will never find out about you meeting me." I cut her off. Her expression went from an excited one to an upset and sad one.
"Lily. You know what you did was wrong. He loved, I mean loves you." She soothed.
I choked back a sob, "Bella, it wasn't my fault."
"I know sweetie, I know." She calmed.
"Can we please not talk about that?" I pleaded.
She nodded and we talked a little about how the rest of our friends had been.
"Lily, how's life been for you for the past three and a half years?" Bella asked quietly.
"Its been going." I replied then quickly changed the subject, "What're you doing here though?"
Bella's face darkened.
'Uh-oh I' thought, 'this isn't good.' "Remember when you left," she began, "how Sirius and I were going out?"
I nodded to show I remembered.
"Well we got married."
Wow. I was NOT expecting that.
"And then things went bad." She said solemnly. "We started fighting over things, small things and big things. And soon it got to be too much and I had to get out. I know I did wrong by leaving Rachel there but I had to get out. And even you weren't around."
I hugged her to try to comfort her, but by now she was in tears.
"And the worst part is," she continued, "he doesn't even know it.."
"Know what Bella?" I asked.
"I'm pregnant."

That was a year and a half ago. Three months later Rachel had joined us and we began living in a different, better apartment and my job (at the Trojan inn) had improved. I eventually told the two about my undercover job but it took them a while to get used to it.
~*~ I had managed to switch my looks back to my original ones, promising myself that I'd change back to "Andrea" on the 25th.
I was sitting in my bed at three in the morning with the memory of Bella's face when she saw me for the first time in over three years wondering how the heck my life had gotten so twisted when I heard a noise at the window.
Actually at first I didn't hear it at all. But then it got louder and louder and started freaking me out.
I mean when you are deep in thought in the dead of the night and something is rapping at your window wouldn't you be scared?
Well anyway I inched my way o the window to see what was outside and peeked out. I let out a breath of air I didn't even know I was holding. It was an owl. A very familiar owl. It was tan except for the white oval shape on its back with a black diamond in its center. This was James's owl.
I opened the window as quietly as I could, and let Zora in. I untied the letter off its leg and sat down at my desk to read it.
Andrea,
Umm hi. I was up and bored and thought you might be too. So how are you? I hope you are close by enough that my owl can reach you before we leave. Life's good for me. Sirius just got back about ten minutes ago and Remus will be leaving for his job tomorrow. How are Bella and Rachel? Well they're probably asleep, but when they're awake, how are they?
Ok ok, I realize I sound like an idiot. But since this letter might be intercepted and if I put anything valuable in writing it wouldn't be good. And besides it three in the morning. Am I babbling? I think I'm babbling. Hopefully your night was more exciting than mine. Write back.or maybe answer tomorrow morning, I mean today morning.ugh you know what I mean.
Yours Truly, Philip
I smiled and read the letter over again. It had been a long time since I had read a letter from James.
I scribbled back a short reply consisting of how my night wasn't going to good either and that Bella and Rachel was fine.
I tied it to Zora's leg and opened the window to let her out. She opened her wings and flew gracefully out of the window. I sat on my bed and looked at the open window. I watched the stars and moon for a few minutes before sleep overtook me.
The next morning I rushed to the Trojan Inn and told my assistant that I'd be leaving because of a family emergency. He told me it would be fine with him, even though I had no idea when I would be back. I promised him I would send detailed reports and replies to everything that was going on at the Inn.
"Its fine miss." He said. "We've been through this before, remember? And each time you do a fine job even while you're away."
I smiled gratefully and left the Inn to rush home and pack. I got a suitcase full of clothes for the rest of the summer and the weekends that we were allowed to wear muggle clothing.
I grabbed my purse and apparated to Diagon Alley. I quickly made my rounds and got my supplies pretending I was the new exchange student as Dessing had asked.
I then came home and packed my trunk. I opened my closet and got out a big metal trunk. I opened it and saw that my every paper, note, and test was stored there perfectly like I had left it five years ago. I removed all of the papers from my seventh year and put them into my trunk as well. I grabbed my purse and stashed it into my trunk along with a few pieces of jewelry I liked to wear, a bit of make-up, and my formal dress robes just in case.
I finished around six, extremely exhausted.
I heard a knock at the door and went to open it. The mailman stood outside with a package. He gave it to me and went on his way.
It was an odd package. It was small, and fit in my hand. It had my name on it but decided to wait until Bella and Rachel got back before opening it.
I made myself a cup of tea and opened up a small box of cookies. I sat there lounging around doing absolutely nothing knowing full well it would be the last one of these days in a long time.
I finally heard the door unlock and Rachel scream "HONEY I'M HOME!" in a voice imitation of Rickie Ricardo.
I burst out laughing and went to join her in the hallway. She stood there with a goofy grin on her face holding Chinese take out in her hands.
"Yum!" I said grabbing the Chinese Take Out from her. "You brought my favorites!"
"Of course, hun." She said still smiling. "Its your last day, and lord knows when we'll see you again, but I thought why not enjoy it. I invited a few people over too if you don't mind."
I raised an eyebrow. "Like who?"
A blush crept over her face. "Oh just Eric, a few people from work, Dessing, coughJamesandSiriuscough."
My face must've fallen because Rachel quickly added, "They're only coming for a few minutes, because as you know both James and you need all the sleep you can afford."
I nodded and smiled a little. I didn't want to tell Rachel, but I really doubted that out of the three of us, it wasn't going to be her or me who objects to Sirius Black stepping in THIS house.
~*~
Well Bella came back at seven fifteen, about 45 minutes before the 'party' started. She didn't seem too freaked out that Sirius was going to be there. Nah, it was the few casual screams and a few, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SIRIUS BLACK HERE?!?!"
Then of course she calmed down, put Jessica in her room and came back out. She then went into a fury of cleaning the house in twenty minutes flat, which she managed to get half way done before realizing she was a witch and could do it by wand.
Actually it was kind of funny to see Bella like that, even though the tension between them tonight would be thicker than a four-foot thick brick wall.
We ate our dinner, which consisted of General tso's rice, low mein, etc. (hey all I know is that it was GOOD), cleaned the kitchen and put out some, light snacks on the table and went to change.
Now when we emerged, I was in a green short-sleeved shirt and black jeans, not too formal or casual, Bella in a knee length asymmetrically cut skirt and a gorgeous red sweater. (Of course she wanted to dress up a little for Sirius.) I gave her a small smile and she gave me a nervous look.
Rachel came out last wearing a halter denim dress with a pink belly top underneath. I gave her a look, but she pretended not to notice.
We had just gotten ourselves adjusted into the living room, when the doorbell rang. Rachel jumped up to get it.
She opened the door and said excitedly, " I'm SOOO glad you.."
It was Dessing, her face dropped, "Oh its you."
He smiled at her, "Nice to see you again too Rachel."
She made a sarcastic smile, "Uhh yea. The foods inside and as usual, you're the first to arrive."
Dessing, "Just the way I like it. Hello Bella. How are you doing?"
Bella had gotten up to say hello. "Just fine Rob. What about you?"
They made polite conversation until the doorbell rang again. Once again Rachel ran up to get it.
She opened it in the same manner and then seeing it was people from work, became a little less enthusiastic.
This happened a few more times, as more people we knew arrived, including James and Sirius.
Rachel stood there looking dejected. I felt bad for her and made my way over to her.
"Hey Rach." I called.
"Hey Lily." She said gloomily.
"Why the long face?" I asked.
She gave me a look before saying. "He's late."
I burst out laughing. She looked appalled. "What.wait.huh?"
"Rachel, one thing about Eric." She nodded for me to continue. "He has the WORST sense of time."
I gave her another smile and went to see what everyone else was up to. I spotted Sirius Black and James Potter talking in a corner, Sirius's eyes darting to the spot where Bella's back was facing him.
I moved a little closer to hear what they were saying.
Sirius was talking, growling under his breath more like it, "I don't like the way that Dessing guy is talking to her."
James sighed, "Padfoot, he's not saying a word to her! They're just standing in a common circle."
Sirius, "That's my WIFE over there."
James rolled his eyes. "Ok Ok Sirius, whatever. You know she's your wife, I know she's your wife; SHE knows she's your wife. Heck Dessing knows she's your wife."
This surprised me; Dessing knew this fact before I had?
Sirius ignored James's comment, "Speaking of Wives, where's Lily?"
James glared, "She IS not and never WAS my wife Sirius. Don't you get that?"
Sirius looked taken back, "Sorry mate, I just haven't seen Lily in five years, one starts to wonder what really went on between."
It was here that I decided to intervene.
Sirius saw me walk over and his expression changed from a serious one to a shocked one.
"YOU!" he said to me. "I saw you!"
"Yes you did." I replied. James looked confused. "Wait how did YOU see her yesterday?"
Sirius, "You were the manager from the hotel!"
James still looked confused and I smiled, "Well, well, well, Mr. Black, after not seeing me for five years, it takes a while to recognize me huh?"
Sirius looked stunned. "But.h-h-how.wait.b-but...no.Did you do something to your hair or something?!?"
I burst out laughing and left him to go and see Eric who had just arrived.
Just then it got really quiet. A baby's cry could be heard from the other room. Oh my god. It was Jessica. Bella looked from me to Rachel to Sirius to the hallway. I gave her a slight nod and she went swiftly down the hall and got Jessica out. She shushed her and brought her out to see the guests knowing full well what was about to happen.
All the guests were just about to comment on how cute the baby was when there was a strangled voice from the back, "When did you have a baby?!"
~*~
Once Bella had handed Jessica to me and quieted the crowd down, everyone left except James, Sirius, Dessing, and Eric.
Bella took Sirius to the other room and explained everything to Sirius. He came out looking much more relieved than ever. Soon after that he left.
Eric wished me good luck with my "sick relative" at which James got a horrible coughing attack, which I am pretty sure was an excuse to get out and laugh at my pathetic excuses.
Eric said he had to leave and went out. He was about to be followed by James, when Sirius apparated back into the apartment.
Dessing looked at James and me and said, "I think it might be better if you two were together for the night."
"WHAT?!?!" James and I said simultaneously.
Dessing smiled embarrassed, "That came out wrong."
I sighed with relief.
"What I meant was, you two should be in the same approximate area so tomorrow's day will run smoother. So I want you two to spend the night at James's apartment. Ok James?" When James nodded, Dessing continued, "Okay, Lily get your stuff and get on over to James's."
"But sir. Where will I sleep in their apartment?"
"I think we'll leave Sirius here with the girls." Dessing said smiling knowingly.
Sirius gave a small grin to Bella.
I grumbled under my breath, gathered all my stuff shrunk it with my wand, stuck it in the pocket of my robe, and went to the living room again.
"Ok." James said to me. Dessing had left and had left us directions of what to do tomorrow morning. "Think of the Marauders' Den, and think of Maple and Magnolia Crescent intersection. Then apparate."
I did as I was told and Apparated.
I was standing outside a high-class building in front of a door that read, "Welcome to The Marauders' Den" In big gold letters surrounded by four paw/hoof prints.
'Typical' I thought. And followed James inside. It was pretty clean on the inside. There was a nice cozy living room, a big spacious kitchen and a hallway leading to a bunch of doors. The entire house was done up in Red, Black, White and Silver.
'Not bad' I thought to myself.
I followed James as he showed me the bathroom and what was to be my bedroom. He had given me his bedroom quoting that Sirius's was too messy for me to see. Yeah right.
I pulled out my blue silk pajamas, got changed, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I was in such a deep sleep (and trust me I usually am an extremely light sleeper) that I didn't hear the door open, or someone some in. I didn't feel someone pull my blanket up from under me and tuck me in. I didn't feel that someone sit next to me on the bed or feel him caress my cheek. Nor did I feel the part where that person bent down and kissed my cheek.
Ahhhh, not much happens in this chapter. Next chappie will be better! More action including the start to Hogwarts! R/R! Wow def the longest chappie I've ever written! Be sure to review though!
Yeah I did put a bit of the background info, but saving the biggie's for later. I'm sure you must've guessed that what was in the memory already, right?
Anyways, R/R!!
I could make out Bella's face in the crowd of hundreds of people. It stood out completely. I could hear her give a small gasp as she saw me approaching from the opposite side of the sidewalk on the busy London city. She dropped the bag she was carrying and ran over.
