Chapter two

The Potter dumping's

"I am fed up with him!" groaned Lily, ducking her head over her shot of firewhisky. As a first year, mediwitch intern, she didn't normally get a lot of time to sleep much less to date and maintain a relationship.

Hence her present predicament.

William Orion Diggory, was the ideal boyfriend.

Perfect son.

Star Seeker.

And to top it off his uncle was the same guy who'd got killed by Voldy back when her father had participated in the Triwizard Tournament.

Her parents adored him, her father especially happened to think that "Will" was "just the man " for her.

Unfortunately recently Lily –darling-Potter couldn't bring herself to agree.

He was bloody perfect.

He was just too bloody perfect.



He had no flaws and that made her seem so insignificant beside him, for Merlin's sake the man was a bloody famous Qudditch star and he still never missed a date whereas, managing one seemed more than it was worth to Lily, now-a-days.

Maybe the whole stress thing was getting to her.

Her best friend and confidante Fay Jordan said as much, "Lils you're stressing again…"

Lily mumbled incoherently. "Iwanupthhim"

Felicity arched a jet black brow, "English please."

Lily looked up, her chocolate brown eyes darkening, with a twinge of guilt, as she repeated, "I want to break up with him."

Amazingly enough her best friend broke into a huge face-splitting smile, touched her shot of Firewiskey to hers and downed it in a swallow, "Finally, you have seen the light, your brother owes me 10 galleons by the way. Here he comes now…James..."

Dumbstruck Lily stared from her to James who had come sauntering in his wild jet black hair a messy contrast to his impeccable dress uniform.

"Hey Lils!" he said as he slid in opposite her in the half circle booth, and slung an arm around Fay, pulling her into a mock romantic position, till she elbowed him in the stomach, laughing.

"You owe me ten g's, baby." Felicity, murmured coyly at him, her dark eyes sparkling with mischief.

James's own rounded in shock. "No way!" he exclaimed before turning to Lily, "You dumped prince-perfect?"

"Told you she'd come to her senses before an engagement!"

"Do mom and Dad know?"

"She's decided to break up, hasn't done the deed yet. You think their gonna react badly?"

"Nah, Dad'll probably get a bit sulky, that's it though, you want me to talk to Dad before hand Lils?"

Evidently finding her voice again, Lily shook and accusing finger at the two of them, "You had bets on my love life?!"

"Well," interjected James who had the grace to be abashed, "Technically she made the bet, I just accepted it."

"And technically the guy was more of a robot than a lover so …he doesn't exactly count as 'part of your love life'" Fay clarified, making air quotes, with her fingers.

Just as Lily was about to settle a nice lecture about interfering in her life on her best friend and her brother, a high voice pierced (and she meant pierced) the till then amused silence.

"Jamie! Baby, have you been waiting long?"

Lily caught the almost split second of hurt that displayed in Fay's eyes before she donned her trademark sarcastic smirk. "Well, well, well….if it isn't Megan Creevey."

"Hello! You're Felicity Jordan right, James's ex?" The tall blonde, inquired sweetly, flashing her a brilliant smile, "We met at the orientation ceremony, and talked …"

"Hey Megan," Lily cut in quickly, not wanting to give her any opportunity to have Fay flay her, with her tongue.

Megan looked quickly to the heretofore unacknowledged Lily. Flashing her another 100watt smile, she made to slip in beside her, when James, quickly got up, probably noticing the sinister smile gracing Fay's elfin features, and put his arm around her waist, bidding her to join him at the bar.

Lily rolled her eyes, as Fay silently watched James escort his date to the bar.

"You dumped him, Fay." She reminded her shortly. "You never did tell me why you know."

Running her fingers through her perfect bangs Felicity, shot Lily a withering look.

Lily glared right back, "You get to make bets on my love-life and I don't even get to ask about yours?"

"Don't go there Lils, there's a lot you don't know."
