A/n : I don't like to do author' s notes, but I just wanted say I hope chapter 6 didn't offend anyone, I know abortion and adoption are touchy subjects.
The next morning Mum came in and told me I would be allowed to leave my room.
As I dressed, I wondered how my cousins and brothers would take the news.
Molly and Lucy would both be snide about it, but they're snide about everything. They're both wicked bitches. Vic would be judgemental of me, and Dom would be too, because she wroships Vic. Roxie, I supposed, would be fine about it. She's my favorite cousin besides Hugo and Rose. Fred wouldn't even think about it. actuallly, I don't think he thinks about anything. Louis woud be fine, he absolutely worships me. And Teddy, though technically not realted to me, would be cool about it. I'm his favorite.
Alubs, I guess edwould be okay about it. he would be shocked, of course, but he'd get over it. James, on the other hand would not. He'dthink of me as a slut, whore. He'd think Hugo a pervert, and would have no problem telling either of us how he felt.
When I went downstairs for breakfast, at around 11 o'clock, the only people at the table were Mum, Teddy, James, and Rose.
"Good Morning," I said quietly.
"Morning, hon," Mum said.
"Good morning," said Rose.
"Morning," said Teddy extra-nicely, to let me know he was on my side.
James stayed silent.
"James," Mum said. "Aren't you going to say good morning to your sister."
"No," said James. "I generally avoid sluts."
"James Sirius Potter!" Mum began. "Apologize to Lily right now."
"I'm sorry," he began, and I got my hopes up. "That you're a fucking incestual whore."
"James!" Mum scolded. "You will show respect for your sister."
"No!" he said. "I'm of age, you're not in charge of me!"
"So, because you're of age, you don't have to show respect for Lily?"
"Because I'm of age I'm allowed to have y opion about who's slutty and who's not. And Lily is, sleeping with that perv and not using portection."
"We used it!" I said loudly.
"James!' started Mum. "You will hold your tongue or you will not live under my roof!"
James looked like he was about to say something back, but he needed to live with Mum and Dad still. He didn't have enough money to move into his own place.
"Fine," he said quietly.
"Now apoligize to Lily," Mum instructed.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
"For what?" I prompted. Rose and Teddy laughed.
"Calling you a whore," he murmered.
"Maybe you should aploigize to Hugo, too," I told him.
"Lily," Mum said. "Don't go to far."
"Alright," I said contently.
If I could win over James, everyone else would ne a piece of cake.
