Chapter six - Around the world.

A/N, There is some French in this chapter and there maybe some in later chapters. And By the way, I'm an Aussie and I felt like putting more aussie-ness in this story!

Thanks to...

"Lily, I love ze Eiffel Tower, I must take you there now!" Luc said on the spur of the moment.

"But Luc, I am afraid of heights."

"Nonsense, I shall take ze care of you!"

"I'm really not sure about this Luc;"

"Lily, when you are with me, you are safe." Luc stated, "Do you not trust me?"

"Of course I do, I'm just… no, I will go to the Eiffel Tower, I'm a witch, if anything happens—"

"I'll save you!" Luc cried.

After a day of sightseeing and having fun at the Eiffel Tower, Lily went home, to her brand new house. She found a bunch of roses sitting on her front step.

The card said

' Lily, I miss you…'

It must be from Luc, he's so sweet. I saw him an hour ago and he already misses me.' she thought.

She unlocked her front door and threw her keys on the table. She walked into her living room and saw a dark figure sitting on her couch.

"Qui etes-vous?" (Who are you?) Lily said in a perfect French accent.

The figure stood up and stepped into the light.

"James, get out."

James looked Lily up and down. She looked wonderful; she was wearing light denim jeans and a turquoise singlet top. Her auburn hair was tied up in a bun with small curls falling in her face; and her emerald eyes sparkled in the dim light. James walked towards Lily; they became closer and closer.

"Lily, I need to talk to you."

"No, James;" She looked at the roses in her hands " You gave me these, didn't you?"

"Yes, they're your favourites."

"James, if you've come here because you want me back; you're wasting your time."

"I don't just want you Lily, I need you."

When James said this to her, she almost melted into his arms. But she resisted, she hadn't left England and spent months getting over James, just to run back to him the moment she sees his face.

"James, please." Lily said desperately; a small tear forming in her eye.

James embraced Lily, she tried to push away but she failed.

"James, Let go of me."

"Lily, you love me; you know it."

"No James." She said firmly as he let go of her

Why does she keep saying my name like that?

The tear ran down her cheek; her voice broke

"James, don't make this harder. I know you loved me, but you…"

"Lily, I'll go. But you have to tell me, to my face; tell me you don't love me."

"James, I –"Lily said struggling not to look into his eyes.

"Lily, I can't live without you; and I know all this sounds so corny but it's true."

"James, please. I can't do this. You have to leave."

"Tell me you don't love me."

"James, I---" she said, looking away

"Look, into my eyes Lily!" he shouted

"I don't love you." She said looking into his said hazel eyes. A lump entered her throat, a tear came into her eye and she could hardly breathe.

She ran out of the room, leaving James all alone in the living room. He sat down in a green armchair and put his head in his hands. The words that came from Lily's mouth weren't the ones he had wanted to hear. This wasn't the way it was supposed to happen, it was supposed to be a fairytale ending; James was confused, a few months ago Lily wanted to be with him, now she didn't. He wanted her to be happy, and if leaving her forever was the only way that Lily could be happy, then he would have to leave her; forever.

He could smell a familiar scent on the armchair, it was a muggle perfume that Lily loved; it was called Tommy Girl or something like that. James lay back in the chair and fell asleep.

Lily's face was drenched in tears; she threw herself on her bed. She did love James, but she couldn't go back to him. She knew it would result in heartbreak all over again.

When Lily woke up she had a raging headache, her head was pounding. She walked past the living room on her way to the kitchen and saw James asleep on her couch.

What is he doing here? Oh my god, my head is killing me.

"James! James! Wake up!" she shouted while trying desperately to wake him.

James muttered something, (something thatought not to be repeated.) and opened his eyes. The surroundings were different, then he realised where he was.

"James, why are you st—"

"Oh my god, Lily I'm sorry, I'll leave. I'm sorry." He interrupted, as he grabbed his coat and ran out the door.

What was that all about? Why did he apologize to me?

James ran out of Lily's house, and walked down the street in the brisk Paris air. He was desperate to get as far away from Lily as he could, and there was one place he wanted to go: Australia.

He rushed down an empty lane, and apparated with a Pop! He was in Australia, standing on the Harbour Bridge.

'Great landing James!' He thought; he walked towards the end of the bridge, in the opposite direction of the Opera House and Centre Point Tower.

As he walked off the bridge he saw a big blue glass building, with white balconies on each floor. (A/N: my dad works in that building! Ha ha!)

James strolled through the glass automatic doors, and looked at the old security guard, he pulled an ID card out of his pocket and said

"James Potter, Auror in training."

The old lady nodded at him and replied "13th floor, that is an elevator." She pointed towards two silver doors " just press that button there and then the doors will open; walk through and tell the man that you would like to go up to floor thirteen."

The silver doors opened and James looked at it amazed.

"Sir, are you ok?" The elevator man asked

"Yes, I'm fine, how do you do that without magic?"

The man raised an eyebrow, and stared at James as if he was completely loopy.

James peered around the corner of the elevator and saw a man quickly put away his wand. He knew he was on the right floor, so he confidently strolled out of the elevator. He looked at his surroundings; he saw four signs:

'Misuse of Muggle Artifacts'

'Owlery'

"Ministers of Magic.'

'Reversal Rooms'

James rushed towards the Owlery; he picked the biggest, strongest, owl he could find; a tawny owl with a nametag that read 'Kinelly'

He quickly wrote a message down on a scrap of strange looking parchment.

Sirius,

I'm in Australia; meet me in the park under the Harbour Bridge. Come tomorrow at 11:00am.

I'll tell you what happened.

Don't bother writing back. Please bring my cloak and Kinelly with you; I don't think she'll be able to fly back by herself.

From James.

He tied the letter to Kinelly's leg and said "Hope you can make it all the way there."

I must be crazy; I'm talking to an owl.

Sirius read the letter in disbelief, and rolled his eyes. Trust Prongs to do something stupid like that! I may as well go; I'll get Remus to come with me.

"Oi, Remus; get over here. We're going to Australia."

A/N: Ok, please don't hate me;I know it's been a while sinceI updated, I've had a million assignments and stuff. I'm nervous about this chapter, don't know if it's any good! Please reassure me in a review. Remember, I'll review your story if you review mine!

Also, I just made a c2 community called Prongs and Mrs. Prongs. It's all stories about James, Lily and the Marauder's.Check it out if you want.
