Chapter 4 (Break-Up)

"What?"

"Are you a Death Eater?" He asked.

His voice was calm and clear. He wasn't afraid of the answer. He almost knew what she was going to say.

"How can you say that!" She shouted. "How can you even think that, James?"

"How can I think that?" His voice remained calm. "I can….And, if it is so wrong for me to think that, then……"

"Then, what?" She demanded.

"Then, roll that sleeve up." He said, "And, show me that I am wrong."

"James…" She took a step back.

"What, Caroline?" He said, dangerously. "What?"

"Listen to me, James."

"Show me." He said, "Show me, Care and If I am wrong I will spend my entire life making it up to you."

He took out the ring-box from his pocket.

"This." He opened it, "It was my grandmother's. I was going to ask you to marry me."

"What?" She was shocked.

"And, I will ask you again. I will ask you to forgive me. I will spend my entire life begging for your forgiveness." He said, quietly. "But, prove yourself."

"James…"

She hit the wall. But, there was no way out. He was standing in front of her. His hand on the wall. He took her arm softly and pushed the sleeve up. And, there it was. The ugliest mark he had ever seen, the thing he was dreading all along.

"How long?" He asked. Calm. Steady. Quiet. Too quiet.

"Two months."

He nodded. He should have known. He had the season's first game in October. She had worn a sleeveless t-shirt then. He had left for a few weeks and hadn't seen her till he came back to school a few days ago.

"Anyone else from school?" He asked.

"James…?" She didn't want to answer him, but she had no choice. It was his property she was standing on. He was dangerously close to her. She knew he wouldn't hurt her….never. He wouldn't touch her, not even when he knew that she was a Death Eater.

"Who is it?" He repeated.

His voice was low. Steady. Firm.

"Snape."

"Snivellious?" James snorted. 'It wasn't a shock. "Good to know."

"James…" She touched his arm softly. "Listen to me! We can still work this out!"

"Oh, no…." He shook his head, "I didn't care about the wolf thing when everyone would have walked away. I wouldn't care if you were poor or rich. I wouldn't care about any of that…."

He took a step away from her.

"But, what the hell, CAROLINE?" He banged his fist on the red-bricked wall. Blood trickled down his knuckles but he didn't care.

"This….?" The expression on his face wasn't anger. It would have helped if he was angry. But, he was disappointed.

"God, Caroline." He whispered. "How could you do this?"

"James, just listen to me…."

"No, no, no!" He said, "Out! I want you to get out! Out of my room! Out of my house!"

"You are asking me to leave?"

"Had it been any other reason…" He said, "I would have asked to stay the night and leave in the morning. But, you….have to leave. I can't sleep knowing a Death Eater is sleeping across the hall."

"Jam…"

"OUT! GET OUT!!! OUT!" He shouted.

Caroline was pushed gently out of the room and James shut the door behind himself. He sat down on the floor. He closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"What did you do, Care?" He whispered, looking at the ring in his hand, "What did you do to me? To us…?"

He closed the box and collapsed on his bed.
