Author's Note: It's Saturday again! Here you go!
Just then, the fireplace flared green. It was the only warning we had before my brother stepped through.
"Hey Frank, have you seen Lily? She didn't come home last night…"
His voice trailed off as he saw me sitting on the couch.
I should probably mention that this was James, not Albus. This made a difference because I didn't think he'd hurt his brother-in-law. At least, I hoped not.
He looked me over, taking in my clothes, still disheveled from sleeping in them, and my lipstick, even more smudge now that it had been when I'd woken. And then he blew his top.
He shoved Frank up against the wall and began railing at him. "You banged my SISTER? You had a bloody ONE NIGHT STAND with MY SISTER?" He shoved him again, and Frank did nothing to defend himself. "I should curse you were you stand. She's just a kid! How could you?"
With that, I had to step in. I pulled him away from Frank and insinuated myself between them, so he couldn't go after him again. "I am NOT a KID anymore, James! I am TWENTY years old, and I can take care of MYSELF! And it is NONE of your business who I sleep with!"
At that, he stepped back in shock. He blinked a few times and then spoke softly, "You're my little sister Lils. It'll always be my job to take care of you." He looked down and scuffed the toe of his trainer against the carpet. "I just don't want you to get hurt."
He was really just too sweet sometimes. I couldn't stay angry with him when he was like this.
I stepped closer to him and pull him into a hug. "All we did was kiss. I was still fully clothed when I woke up this morning. I'm pretty sure we were too drunk to do anything else. And it's not a one night deal. I, I really like Frank. And he likes me, and we're going to see where this goes. Okay?"
He sighed in defeat. "Okay. But you're going to have to tell the parents. I'm not saving either of you from their wrath."
Frank walked up and pulled me into a hug from behind, resting his chin on the top of my head. "I think we can handle the parents."
James nodded and left us to figure things out.
Author's Note: You should review. I have two 6 page papers due on Monday and I need some motivation to write them, and reviews are the best motivation.
