Ines was bursting with news as she ran to James' office. Alyson had told her daughter the biggest news and she couldn't wait to tell James. She knew that her mum was busy with her new job thing so she had to tell him herself. She knocked at the door excitedly as she was grinning from ear to ear.

James was going through some books on Drakons when he was distrubed by the knocking. "I swear I can't get a moments peace, pain in my ass, I couldn't even get a good rub down without someone needing my help, I should get an assistant."James muttered as he opened the door. "Let me guess, something bug?"

"That's wonderful."James said a little hurt, he was happy for Ines and for Alyson and Riley. But he still had a soft spot for her after all these years. He knew Riley but didn't think that he should be in their private engagement.

Ines smiled at James."I can't wait. I mean,in one sense I can't believe that she's actually going to get married but in another,I'm so glad that she is."She told him as her eyes had the brightness in them again."All this is making whatever the Prophet writes to be a little more acceptable when it comes to Skeeter."

"Yeah,she does."Ines said as she pulled the chair up closer to James' desk and folded her arms onto the desk. She laid her head on them as she looked up curiously at him."There's something wrong with you,I can hear it in her voice."

"There's nothing wrong with me, girl."James said leaning back in his chair looking at his baby girl. "Why do you say that?"

"You seem hurt."Ines said to James."But it's only in your voice. But don't mind me."She said to him as she shrugged."Lily told me about you and her. Congrats Dad."

"Not really."Ines told James shrugging."Most things coming from me don't ever mean a lot to really anyone."She said as she leaned her chair back.
