Lily sat in The Hogshead one rainy October evening. She was hidden in a black cloak with the hood up and infront of her sat a massive bottle of firewhiskey, untouched. Lily had needed to get away from the office there was no way that she could cope with everything right now. Evie was missing, Harry was ill and distant and James was non existant. As for the baby, she had no idea what was going on there. And to top it all off the Wizarding World was a wreck.

James apperated to Hog's Head on an errand to refill his liquor cabinet, he was going through them quickly. He walked in and saw a hooded figure sitting with a large bottle of firewhiskey in front of them. He could go for one as he was drinking more and more these days, he was sick of his friends siding against him, telling him he should be happy for Harry and Hermione when he didn't see it as a happy occasion and they all could sod off as far as he was concerned. He walked over to the hooded figure with two glasses.
" Hello mate."He said opening up the bottle and pouring the drinks. "Life has you down? I can relate, my son is marrying this hag, my daughter is missing, my wife thinks I'm a stubborn prat and not to mention my other mates are wankers.... I need me a drink, I do."

Lily sat as stiff as a board as James joined her. She listened to everything he said before looking directly at him from under the hood with bright green eyes. "Your wife does not believe that you are a stubborn pratt. She thinks you are dealing with things well, considering you have everyone questioning you." For once, Lily took James side. It wasn't fair that he kept being questioned by everyone about his decisions. Ok so she didn't think his argument with Harry was right but that was between him and James. Lily would still talk to her son if she wanted to. "And drinking that much," she added, "Is going to kill your liver James Potter so please....ease up..."

James was startled when he heard the voice from under the hood and smirked, he had always thought he would know when Lily was around but she had surprised him yet again. He felt relieved when she thought he was handling things well despite all the glares. He acted like he didn't care when it hurt him to know that his friends were not standing with him as he would for them and all had something to say when it came down to it. He lowered his eyes as he pushed the glass away.
"Thank you for allowing me to have an opinion."James whispered. "I never said that I wanted them to be lepers, I just want time."

Lily sat there quietly knowing she had managed to trick her husband. As he spoke she nodded."James I know you more or less like the back of my hand....I know how you work hun. It'll take time and I'm going to allow you to have it. I know that others are winding you up but they all think it's for your own good. They just want to help James."

"I never said that I wanted help, Lily."James said in annoyed tone trying to keep his tone. He was annoyed at the fact that she still thought of him as someone who needed to see her side. "I swear those hypocrites, they tell me that they don't me when I offer my help but think they are helping me by showing how wrapped around my son is with that scarlet woman. They're all bollocks."
He got up and stormed off from the pub thinking that he needed some new friends.

Lily sighed quietly and got up from her seat. She exited the pub and went out into the street, a sharp pain running through her stomach. She winced but said nothing. "James!" she called. "Can we please talk." Lily pushed her hood down knowing no one was around. With everything that was going on Lily needed James but James didn't seem to be there anymore. If he wasn't willing to talk she'd head back to the Ministry. For to Lily it appeared if james had forgotten that his three children were in danger. Harry had a prophecey written about him, Evie was missing, and the baby....did James even remember?

James realized that he was shunning the only person who was on his side, he stopped and turned to face her. He was in such a rage that he forgot about everything, Evie was still missing and Lily was pregnant. He began to think and it felt like everything was happening with the intention of separating them and having everyone at odds with one another.
"I'm sorry, Lils, what's going on? What happened to Harry that he has some sirt of heart thing."

"Things are just piling up again." she said with a sigh. Lily shook her head, "Harry's condition is something he has to live with. He's paling again though...I'm worried about what's going to happen to him." There was a lot of things that worried Lily these days.

"Listen, we all need to get together and discuss what's been going on."James said getting over his pride. He saw what was happening and he like a fool had gotten into it.
"The old gang."

"Ok." Lily said. She agreed that communication between every had be suckish. "So when? Where?" Lily wanted it done as soon as possible. The more tension there was between everyone the less likely it was that they'd get things sorted.

"Immediately."James answered Lily wanting this to happen at once, he reached out and took her hand. He smiled at her, she had the most beautiful eyes that his children (with the exception of Ines) had possessed.
"I'm not saying I'm apologizing but this is a start."

Lily held James' hand lovingly. "J, hun, I'm not askin g you to aplogize, just let's talk through everything and try and get some sense." Lily knew James was as stubborn as a mule when he wanted to be an apology at this stage would be a miracle.

"Listen, lets get everyone together and then we can talk about apologies alright?"James said placing his hand on Lily's face and smiled at her softly. He pushed a couple of strands of hair from out of her face after a wind blow through the couple.
"I love you, Lily, I'm a prat."He said with a lopsided grin.
