Chapter 6: Talking about the Past

As Lily starred off into outer space, James started to do thinking of his own.

'This person is seriously psychotic.' He thought to himself, 'But she could hurt Lily, and I don't want that. I need to find this woman before she can do any harm to me or to Lily…Even if it means keeping Lily away from me…it's the only way.'

James looked over at Lily, who had a devious smile on her face.

"James, how about we go out to eat, I'm starving and we need to talk about this, to try to figure out who this insane woman is." Lily suggested innocently, though in her head her thoughts weren't entirely pure. James shrugged and went to go get his coat, which he left on her couch. He could break the news that they should stay away from each other when they go to dinner. He knows Lily so well and he knows that she will not be happy to be told what to do but, it must be done.

As they sat at a corner café, sipping mochas, and talking about what they've been doing for the last two years, James a Chaser for the Chuddly Cannons and Lily the editor for Witches Weekly, though both of them knew all about what each has been doing. James suddenly and randomly decided to bring up the subject that is still soft to both of them.

"Lily I just don't understand. What happened to us back then? Why did we break up? Why did you leave me?" James whispered hoarsely like as if something was caught in his throat.

"James you have to understand, we're just too different, you and I, then I was trying to prove myself against the world, that I, Lillian Rose Evans, a Muggleborn witch, am just as good as any Pureblood." Lily stated calmly, though inside her heart was racing because she knew she was lying.

"Lily, you knew way before than that you were better then those who put you down. I was always by your side, why then did you choose to break the heart of the one who loved you dearly then, and wanted to marry you and grant you the little house with children running about? Why when I loved you, and would have given you the world?" James said as he finally found his voice to say what he's been dying to say for two years.

"Loved?" Lily asked, her heart unconscienously starting to bend as if to break if he confirmed her fears.

"Damn it, Lily! You know I still love you! I haven't been with anyone since you, I haven't felt the pleasure of a woman's flesh since I felt yours, because your skin against their skin…theirs no comparison. I have not found another woman who can look like sin but can engage in a intellectual conversation, like you can! I still love you, I still want that little house with a picket fence and little children and a round wife to come home to after a long day on the field!" James yelled, and noticed the fresh tears falling down her cheeks.

"James, do you not understand? As long as we were together back then I was tormented. Even then I got those letters of threat, saying I wasn't good enough for you! I couldn't take it, I was seventeen damn it and basically still a child! Yes, James, I loved you with all my heart, and damn it all to hell, I still do. I too have gone through two years with out a companion. And I never will without you, but this woman will not cease unless we stop her, and until she is stopped we will never be happy together." Lily sobbed out. James ran his hands across his face then dragged them through his hair. They were silent, with the exception of Lily's soft sobs, and with that silence James created a plan, a dangerous plan, but a plan sure enough.

"Lily, I've got it!" James exclaimed excitedly. "Go to the Hogwarts Gala with me."

Lily looked at him like he lost his mind.

"What are you talking about; if I go with you the woman is sure to kill me." Lily started and was interrupted.

"And in order for her to kill you, she has to show up." James said with a big grin. Lily rolled her eyes but inside she was excited that James was creating a plan that could work with her help.

"Yes, or she could send someone to kill me or kidnap me." Lily told him, which brought his spirits down slightly, "But if you write to her telling her how stupid you were and that she's the worthy one, and that your going to bring me as your date to the Gala for her to kill me and get me out of your and her life forever for you two to be together, then she'll show don't you think?"
James took a bit to think it through, then slowly his straight face became a smile, "Okay, but first lets get some guesses on who it could be."

"They had to have gone to Hogwarts with us because, I got the letters there." Lily replied.

"What about Sarah Cooper, you know the one with the blonde hair green eyes, legs that went on for miles, and jugs this-" James began to gesture how big her 'jugs' were when suddenly he was popped upside the head by Lily. James laughed nervously while he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sarah Cooper is now, Sarah Flint, you know Michael Flint then man she dated since third year and was completely in love with? So she's not her. Besides she was two years ahead of us, and in Slytherin, she wouldn't even have looked your way." Lily responded snidely.

"Okay… Susan Periwinkle, she was always giggling around us when one of us made a joke," James suggested.

"She didn't have much friends, and wanted to be popular…and secretly had a thing for Peter" Lily responded.

"Wow who would have known?"

"I knew."

And so they went like this for hours, going through all the girls who dared speak to James, or look his way but what they didn't know is that, the one person they were looking for, always hid in the background and never dared to say his name much less speak to him.

Violet stood, shaking in anger as she saw the whole confession of love from both James and Lily. 'I told her to leave him be, and what does she do? The complete opposite! Don't worry Dear James, you will be mine, yes you will.' Violet started walking away and remembering the first time she knew she and James were meant to be.

It was a cold snowy day in sixth year, and Violet was walking to Care of Magical Creatures, when she began to witness Severus Snape and Lucious Malfoy pick on a muggleborn, when James Potter came and broke it up by dangling Snape and Malfoy in the air by magic, and she thought he was the bravest man alive…aside from her dear father really. She knew her daddy would be proud if she married James, and she always likes to please her father, but she's just terribly shy and didn't know how to talk to other people. Then Lily Evans had to go and ruin her chance in seventh year, by going out with James. So Violet began to write horrible things about Lily and despise Muggleborns, she even began to date Snape, but would automatically drop him if James would ever give her a chance. Around Graduation time, everyone knew James was going to propose to Lily, and Violet couldn't take it, she wrote the evilest letter she could claiming that if she saw a ring on Lily's finger she would murder her. Sure enough Violet's plans worked, Lily turned him down and James was heartbroken, but Violet planned to fix that broken heart of his.

"And, I will"
