For anyone who is reading this, it is a very short chapter. If this upsets you then rest a sure that the next will be longer, have more going on, and we shall meet Federico! I love that name and there is no reason why! It's fun to say and type! Anyway I do not own Harry Potter. I never have and I never will. If I could write half as good a J.K. I would be out there making money and writing amazing stories.

It was Wednesday Afternoon and James Potter was about to close his shop for lunch. Business had been slow that day. It had been three months since he sold his one and only broom. It was his pride and joy. It was his Moonracker, the fastest broom he had made so far. He sold it to a young playboy, a lot like himself, who fancied himself a daredevil. He guessed the reason he had sold only one broom was because he was picky about who bought his brooms.

An old man had tried to buy his first sky hawk model a few months ago. It was going to be James's first sale but in the end the old man let it slip that he was going to mount it on a wall and never ride it. James ended up throwing the man out of his shop. This happened a lot in his first year of business. Few seemed worthy of James's brooms. Word ended up getting around that Potter's brooms were amazing and well made but the owner had to be crazy!

Once again James was getting ready to go to lunch. He decided to go to Sirius's apartment and wake him up. After that maybe they could go out to lunch, that was before he heard the door open. He had been in the back of the store working on a new model when he heard the little footsteps. When he entered the shop he saw Lily looking at his newest invention, brooms for you kids!

"May I help you Miss?"

Lily tuned around and smiled. "That can not be safe James Potter!"

"Relax it only rises a few inches off the ground. What are you doing here? I didn't think that boss of yours let you leave the office?"

Lily walked closer to him, "I have been let go."

"That ass fired you?"

"No, I have been asked to leave the Prophet. Apparently the editors have a problem with telling the truth! They wouldn't even publish my piece on the Cleo Kitty. In a way I'm happy! I wouldn't want to go down in history for that story!"

James nodded, "So, what are you going to do now? Wanna work here? There aren't a lot of customers but the owner is funny, witty, and I dare say sexy."

Lily laughed, her jolly, kindhearted laugh.

"He also has an ego the size of Jupiter!"

She would have loved to work with James but then she would have been running away. If her father was still alive, he would have disowned her for being a coward.

"James, do you remember Federico Fitz Gilbert? He was a Ravenclaw in our year."

"Yep! Didn't really like him. Couldn't understand a word that bloke said!"

"He's father owned a newspaper in Spain and Federico took it over last March. He offered me a job. He wants to tell Wizards what's really going on. Not the sugar coated trash the Prophet prints. I think I'm going to take the job?"

"Great! You should! So, what's stopping you?"

"I'd have to move to Spain…just for a little while. If I prove that I can do it Federico says he'll let me work out of England."

James was stunned, He could barley see Lily now, when they both lived in London. If she moved in Spain he would never see her but as much as he wanted Lily to stay with him here in England, he knew if she didn't go and take a chance she would regret it. He couldn't live knowing that she regretted stay with him.

"You should go Lily. It sounds amazing! It's only for a little while and if work slows down here I can come visit you!"

Lily laughed and raced into James's arms. She kissed him and hugged him until he had to pull away.

"I have to go wakeup Sirius and make sure that there are no young, impressionable girls in his bed. Besides, I'm sure you need to pack. I'll swing by when I'm done sobering up Padfoot!"

Lily looked sad as James walked her out the door. They kissed good bye and James went one way, to Sirius's apartment, and Lily took the other, and the young couple became parted. They would remain parted for a long time.

Next chapter coming soon. Please review! I'll give you candy. cough Not really but please!
