The Diary of Lily Audrey Potter
Chapter Twenty: My Brothers Attacked an Auror
Authoress Note: I know, I have been absolutely horrid and not updating...anyway, here it is. I do have a beta reader—two in fact, so soon, I will have beta'd chapters coming up.
ALSO: Some of the spaceing might be off, this thing hates me.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Harry Potter and company. But, I do own my Tom Felton shirt that I got at Hot Topic. Oh, how I live that shirt...
Dedication: To my beta's. Without you, my story would be grammatically incorrect.

Okay, so here is what I am going to tell Adonis:
Adonis—
Hello, it's Lily. About our date on Friday—I don't think I can keep it. I mean, I have just broken up, and I'm not over that yet. I'm not ready for another relationship right now. I'm sorry, but this won't work out.
—Lily
So, that's what I am going to send to him. I hope he doesn't like, try to kill me for turning him down, or anything strangely stalker-like for turning him down...I just hope he's an understanding person.
I need to send this, and its frightfully cold up here.

Well, I read the note. And I must say, life really does hate me. This is what it said:
Lily,
Will you be over it by Saturday?
Adonis.
Does he have ANY respect for the broken hearted? I mean, I still love Dan, and I can't get over that. You don't get over someone like him that fast. You just don't. And to have Adonis just sit there and insist that I go out with him, its like, I can't. And I told Jay about it, and she told me to stand Adonis up. But I don't want to do that, because I would feel like crap for the rest of my life for standing him up, and I don't want nor need, that guilt on top of the pain I already feel about the breakup.
I don't know. Everyone is really happy about Christmas, and I would rather not think about Christmas. Although I have found Blink 182's Untitled Album to be quite comforting, as many of the songs match my mood.
But really, this Adonis thing got blown WAY out of proportion, and the stupid bloke won't take no for an answer. I have NEVER had anyone so desperate to date me before.

We leave for Winter Holes in five days. I have managed to do all my shopping my owl order, so no problems there. But I still need a dress for Mum's stupid Christmas Party. I saw this dress in one of Bray's fashion catalogs. It was a black, strapless dress with a floor length skirt, with a thin white stripe running up one of the sides. I have a black shawl I could wear with it, and Mum would be happy with it, I think...
Anyway, I seem to have ANOTHER problem. I guess Draco wrote to Drew and Dan—not that I care that he wrote to Dan—with the usual stuff, and the news that Adonis is an auror. I stole the letter from them, and this is what it said:
Dan and Drew,
Your mum is currently chasing Inyx around the house, as she won't go to bed, but I don't blame her, nine is much to early to go to bed, but try telling your mum that. Anyway, your grandmother (Malfoy) sends her love from the Caribbean, with news that it is absolutely wonderful there. I think that we might be vacationing there next summer if you two are still at home. (Please don't, your sisters are being horrible this year, I suspect it has something to do with their age.) Your mum has just yelled at me to tell you boys to study hard, and you will be grounded if you don't get at least three N.E.W.T.'s. So study hard, and she'll see you in a few days.
As I told you two I would be doing, I have done a background search on Adonis. Lo and behold, he really is a Malfoy, but is not eligible for the Malfoy inheritance, as I was named heir. Also, according to Harry, Adonis is an auror. And that's all I know.
We are staying with the Potters for Christmas, so please; remember this year, so we don't get a repeat of fifth year.
Dad
Well...I don't know what to say. Only that Adonis will be at that God forsaken party.

I think I have been listening to way too much depressing music. Really, I have grown attached to Blink 182, and it's not right. Anyway, I go home in five days. And I don't want to. I just want to stay here, and look into the fire, and have people leave me alone. But sadly, I can't even get that here. Adonis has been owling me constantly, as I am ignoring him, in hopes that he'll stop and leave me alone. But, its not working. And I really wish it would, because I am so tired of him. I just wish he would die.
And with Dumbledore gone, and we can't get another Transfig. Teacher until after term ends; all holiday homework has been canceled. So, that's nice. But I really wish I had something to take my mind off of my boy troubles. But, we can't always get what we want, can we?

I am dead board, and have gotten approximately twenty-six owls from Adonis today. It's getting annoying. I know that we were supposed to get together tomorrow, but I'm going to take Jay's advice, and not go.

Adonis showed up during dinner. Then, James beat him to a pulp. I told James about what Adonis was doing, and well, I didn't think that James would take it that bad. Then, Remus went over to them, and asked what James was doing, and when James told him, Remus joined in, and the whole time, Sirius held me while I was crying. Dan just sat there, staring at me. And I really wish that he wouldn't do that, as it's a little unnerving. The weird thing was, nobody did anything to stop anybody. The teachers have given up hope since Dumbledore left, and everybody else was too shocked. It was just horrible, and it makes me wish I were never born. And the bad thing was, was that Adonis is an auror, so Dad's going to get pissed, because my brothers attacked an auror, and then Adonis is going to lose his job because he couldn't defend himself from my brothers. This is why I wish I were never born.
So I have made my decision, and I am staying at Hogwarts for Christmas. And I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about that.

End Thing: It's going to be a while for the next one, and if you read this during read only time, I think you can review, I DO ACCEPT ANONYMOUS REVIEWS! Just thought I should let me know.
AND: Ian, if you happen to read this, e-mail me. Ask ET for it, or C...she should have it.
Thanky,
