Alyson was happily sitting in the Hogs Head drinking a bottle of Butterbeer as she was spinning her chair like a drunk person. The bartender knew she was in a good mood but he was also sure that she hadn't gotten the Daily Prophet. He didn't want to be the one to put a dampener on her happiness. Alyson finished the bottle and got another one as she resumed spinning. Her face was alight with happiness.

James was holding the Daily Prophet, he had read the piece on Alyson earlier and thought it was funny. He saw Alyson at the bar spinning in her barstool and he knew that she was in a good mood. He walked over to her and sat beside her.
"Can I get what she's having please?"He asked the Barkeep. He looked over to his ex and handed her the paper.
"You should read this."

The bartender gave James a butterbeer and sighed. He was actually enjoying the fact that the girl was in a good mood.
Alyson stopped taking hold of the bar. She was dizzy."Whew...that's fun."She said as she looked at the Daily Prophet."What am I supposed to be looking at?"She asked skimming around but not seeing anything.

"Check the entertainment section."James said as he began to drink his brew, he knew that he was being an asshole by doing this but if anyone should destroy her mood, by rights it was him.
"Its not that bad really."

Alyson looked at the Entertainment section."Oh my..."She said looking at it."I hope Riles saw it."She said and looked up at James. She then shrugged."Well,at least there's a little truth in the article, well actually a bit more than a little but that's besides the point. Usually,it's lies."She said as she began to spin her chair again.

"Hey, its not even a huge story, think about they knew about Ines."James said as he took a long swig of his butterbeer. "Now that would be a huge story. Atleast its not on the front page, the admittance of Vampires and Werewolves is the big issue.

"Well keep your voice down. That crafty Skeeter lady can be anywhere."Alyson told James."But,she was mostly right on my little 'outing' with my best friend Riley. And I think it's a good idea to have Vampires and Werewolves in the school."

"And that's why I haven't been home in weeks and my wife has been looking like she spent a weekend at Azkaban."James said tinting his head. "I'm not scared of Skeeter, what she going to do? 'Headmaster James and Ines Potter are seen having a father-daughter hug?' Get the fuck out of here."

"Ohhh..."Alyson said thinking as she then folded her arms and stopped as she was glaring at James."You had better start calling her by her given last name or you're going to have more than what you're dealing with on your shoulders. Her headline would be more of 'Headmaster Potter and Former love Alyson Barrister had young child'. You've got to be thinking,Potter. That woman's smarter than both of us put together and if we're not careful,our secret love child's secret is blown and we'll have enough rumors and gossip on hand to drive us legally insane."Alyson told James.

James looked at Alyson and saw that she was actually worried about this woman. He turned to her and began to think about her point of view.
"You got a point, I mean she can't say anything about us right now, everyone knows we used to be good friends, right?"He said in a low tone. "I'm not afraid of Skeeter, but you're right, we have to think about Ines."

"I would like to keep it at a level of friendship."Alyson replied in a low tone as well."Ines doesn't need that type of publicity,especially from Skeeter because that woman can get an interview with her from right under our noses. Besides,I've got enough publicity by having that date with Riley,which I am having with him. I don't need any bad publicity."

"Since have you ever gave a toss about the press."James said, he was happy for her to be dating again. He always thought she should've done that years ago but with Alyson it had to be on her terms.
"I can forbid Skeeter from entering Hogwarts."

Alyson made a face."The press sticks their noses into too private business. I don't mind good publicity but I don't like bad publicity."She told him as she shook her head."What if she's an illegal animangi? If she is,we won't know what she is or where she is."She told him seriously.

"Then we should leave now."James said drinking the rest of his butterbeer. He got off the stool and began to walk out of the bar. "Write me, Barrister."

Alyson nodded."I'll head out the back and I'll try to write. No promises though. Laters."She said heading towards the back exit.
