Chapter Three
A/N: Sorry it took so long to repost I hope the way I typed this time will make it easier to read. Please Review! Thanks for Reading!
"Hermione," Ron started, "I need to apologize."
"Whatever for?" Hermione asked., knowing fully well what Ron was talking about.
Ron grabbed her arm and stopped her and set her in a chair.
"Hermione," Ron said, "I was… well I've been an ass. That day when I came in on you and Krum... all I saw my girlfriend with this guy. This rich, handsome, famous guy. He was everything I wasn't. But, then I remembered what we had shared, and that was the only thing that I had that let me know you loved me. And then he took that too! That was one more thing he had that I didn't. All I could think was that you were going to leave me. That just made me mad, so I yelled then left to cool off. When you found me, I hadn't cooled off yet. So I yelled and you left, and by the time I had gathered the courage to apologize, it was too late. I saw you with Remus and I saw how happy you were. So I let you be. But I needed to apologize for what I did so we could go back to being friends. Will you accept my apology? Can we go back to being best mates?"
Hermione had tears in her eye.
"Oh, Ron of course" she said as she hugged him "I've waited so long for this. I'm sorry too for not telling you."
"This beats being minister." Ron said hugging her back.
SNAP
There was cloud of dust around them.
"Well, well minister." sneered Rita Skeeter "Having a torrid affair with a married woman?"
Her Quick Quotes Quill was bouncing across the scroll too fast for comfort.
"No" Ron said, getting pissed off, "We're just two friends talking. Anyone with a Slytherin brain would be able to know that. Now get away and don't bother me, Harry, or any of our family. Otherwise I will personally see to it that you're sacked! Get out."
"Very well minister, I'll be going." She said stalking off.
'I already have what I need,' she thought to herself.
"Shall we go meet everyone for ice cream?" Ron asked.
"Yes, we can meet Bill and Lily over there."
So, the two left not thinking about the picture that had just been taken.

"Dean!" Lily yelled, forgetting about Bill.
"Lily! Oh my god I've missed you!" Dean said embracing her with a full kiss.
"Rub it in please, that's just the love of my life" Bill mumbled to himself.
He liked Dean. They weren't best mates or anything, but they were close room mates.
"Bill, ya been keeping an eye on my girl for me?" Dean asked smiling.
"Yeah, of course." Bill said coming back to reality. The reality where Lily and Dean were a couple and Bill was a third wheel. James always had someone or another, Dean and Lily were together and Bill was alone.
"Aunt Hermione! Uncle Ron!" shouted Lily, "Hey!" she said trying to get Dean to let go of her. Ron saw this and growled at Dean. Dean got the hint and let go.
"Hello Minister and Mrs. Lupin. I'm Dean Thomas Jr. It's nice to meet you." Dean said holding a hand out to Ron to shake. Ron didn't shake his hand.
"Can I ask you a question Dean?" Ron said. Hermione huffed and rolled her eyes knowing where this was going.
"Of course." Dean said thinking the question was something good.
"Uncle Ron…" Lily started.
"Dean" Ron said, "Why the hell did you have your arm around my niece, who obviously didn't want it there? Why can't you seem to keep your hands to yourself?"
"Ron!"
"Uncle Ron!"
Hermione and Lily said at the same time. Hermione whacked him in the head.
"Oi!" Ron yelled. "What was that for?"
"Ron what are you yelling about?" Harry asked coming up to him.
Remus, Sirius, Fred, and George behind him. James was still getting the stuff his uncles had given him.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. and Mrs. Lupin, Minister, and Mr. and Mr. Weasley," Dean said, "Lily and I have been…"
"Dean, stop!" Lily shouted. She hated sharing personal things, much like her father.
"No Lily," Dean replied "This needs to be said."
"Mate, you'd better listen to her because whatever you have to say, I don't think I'm going like, and that won't be pleasant for you." George said seriously.
"Lily and I," Dean said ignoring George, but with the slightest touch of fear in his voice, "Have been dating for almost a year."
"Expellarmis!"
"Stupefy!"
Curses came flying from 6 different wands.
"DAD I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU!" Lily yelled.
"George warned him." Ron replied, as Hermione revived Dean, who was sporting a bloody nose. He kissed Lily and said he'd call her.
"Oh, no you won't!" Fred replied.
Dean left after that.
"I can't believe you either!" Lily was still yelling, "Uncle Ron, Uncle Sirius, Uncle Remus, Uncle George, Uncle Fred! I'm going home."
She stormed off.
"I warned him." George called after her.
"Lily!" shouted Bill, "Wait I'll go with you."
"I want to be alone!" Lily shouted back.
"Nice going guys." Bill said walking off in the opposite direction with Hermione chasing after him.
"Dad," said James coming up, "What did you do? Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have said anything. Let me go see if she'll talk to me. Don't come to the house for at least and hour. That goes for all of you!" James finished, as Sirius was about to say something. "For Christ sake I warned him I said it wasn't gonna be pleasant for him!" George said again.

3 Weeks Later
Harry came down for breakfast. There was only a week left till school started.
"Mmm," Harry said. "Who's making breakfast?"
Sirius pointed at Lily who was handing her dad a plate.
"Thanks." Harry said smiling.
Lily didn't respond. James was watching from his seat hoping his father wouldn't do or say anything stupid. It wasn't that hard to get Lily to forgive. Sirius had apologized the night they cursed Dean. Lily had forgiven him and understood his side of it and was glad they loved her enough to care who she dated. But when her dad went up to apologize he and Lily got into a yelling match. They are so much alike. Now Lily won't talk to him, it's been three weeks. James remembered telling his 'chick of the month' all of this. That's what Uncle Fred called them (the girls). 'What was her name anyway? I'm sure I'll remember when she comes over later.' James thought to himself.
CLINK
Harry had dropped his silverware.
"So, are you just never gonna talk to me again?' Harry asked Lily. "Because that's really childish you know."
"Childish?" screamed Lily. "You mean to tell me that six of my family members hexing my boyfriend isn't childish?"
"My, God the mime can talk it's a miracle!" Harry said sarcastically.
"A mime? Really?" Lily asked. "Well this mime is going to her room. And it HATES YOU AND YOUR DAMN HOLIDAY!" Lily screamed as she stomped up to her room.
Once Lily left James started to clap.
"Another wonderful performance by the Potters!" James said glairing at his dad.
"Oh shut up!' said Harry. "I'll go talk to her once she cools down."
"No offense," said Sirius, "but you haven't been doing so well in that field. I'll go talk to her when she's cooled off. Why don't you think about what your going to say to her."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXO
Lily used the floo to call Dean. 'At least Dad's good for one thing. He got me the fireplace for my room.' Lily thought to herself.
"Dean you want to come over? I just put a silencing charm on my door and an anti un-lock charm."
"Of course." Dean said "Give me five minutes?"
"Of course" Lily said using a Cockney accent to tease him.
"Lily?" said Dean coming out of the fire place.
"On the bed." Lily replied. "I'm so mad at my dad! I can't believe him. Childish? He is such an ass!"
"Would you like me to make you feel better?" Dean asked climbing on top of her.
"Of course." said Lily in her Cockney accent "That's all yer good fer."
They snogged for quite awhile. Dean out his hands on the button of her pants and looked at her for permission. Lily nodded in response. So Dean pulled her pants off as she did the same to him. Dean was pulling out a condom when… BANG the door burst open.
XOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Sirius was walking up the stairs to go talk to Lily. He got to her door and tried to open it but couldn't. Assuming she had just locked it he knocked.
"Lily its Uncle Sirius, can I come in?"
There was no response. Sirius, worrying something had happened, thinking back to war times, tried to force the door open. When that didn't work he realized that there was a charm on the door, so he hexed it off. (That's the BANG)
"Huh?" said Lily surprised. "Uncle Sirius what are you doing in here?"
She magicked her pants back on. Dean hid the condom as he pulled his pants up.
"The question isn't what am I doing up here, the question is what are you doing up here?"
"Me?" Lily said. "I'm just sitting here." She hoped this would work.
"Then what is he doing here?"
"Who?" Lily replied REALLY hoping this would work. "Oh, Dean when did you get here?"
"Sirius, what's going on I heard a bang and thought maybe Lily hexed you." Harry said coming to the door.
"YOU!" Harry said, seeing who was there and putting two and two together. "What are you doing here?"
As he lunged at Dean, Sirius pulled him back.
"That's my cue to leave." Dean said, not wanting another bloody nose.
"Sit." Harry demanded. "Just what where you two doing up here?"
"Talking." Lily said.
"Reading." Dean said at the same time as Lily.
"Hmm..." Harry said suspiciously. "So you were reading and talking?"
"Yes." said Lily kicking Dean in the shin before he said anything else dumb.
"I'm pretty sure that's not what you were doing." Harry said staring Dean down.
"Sir I just want to say that," Dean gulped. "that I love your daughter and respect…"
"Dean," Harry said. "Go home."
"Yes sir." Dean said kissing Lily and leaving.
"You." Harry said to Lily. "My office now."
Lily stomped out of the room.
"Harry," Sirius said. "Don't overreact."
"Sirius, tell me the truth. When you walked in were they fully clothed?" Harry asked.
"No." Sirius answered.
"That's what I was afraid of." Harry said. "Here."
Harry handed Sirius some money.
"Take James to a Quidditch store somewhere."
"What are you gonna do?" Sirius asked.
"Something I've needed to do apparently." Harry said.
Sirius went down got James and they left. Harry walked down to his office sighed and went in…
