"I can't believe how many of our words she twisted. I didn't even see her there because I checked but I sure wouldn't talk to her unless hell froze over because I know what she does. She messes up whole interviews to make it sound like you say things you didn't."Alyson said looking at Riley. She then looked at James."Hopefully,she doesn't get any unnessessary attention at school and you better make sure that Skeeter doesn't corner her or you'll see me in your office when I hear about it."Alyson said to him as she stood. She wasn't just mad,she was livid and it was plain to see in her face."That's bull that I can't even go to a resteraunt without having her on my tail. You wait,I'll give her something to write about."She said as she reached into the back of her fridge and took out a bottle of butterbeer as she took a drink and sat on her counter,looking at the guys.

"First of all, you think I would allow that monster near Inny?"He asked feeling offended at the very thought of it. He then saw her head to the kitchen and grabbing a butterbeer bottle. "Whoa, this is a last resort."James said holding his hands up.

Riley looked at Alyson and said "i agree. i mean how is she getting this info and how can we stop her ." his mind was reeling, trying to think of many ways to get back at Skeeter.

"Why don't you invite her to dinner?"James asked trying to come up with a nonviolent solution to this.

Alyson rolled her eyes at James."Prat,my last resort is way back in the back of the fridge."She said downing the rest of the bottle."I have no idea what she's doing,how she's doing it,or anything but something's up. And,I'm completely pissed now because of all the lies are going all over the wizarding world. I swear,I hear one more story and I'm going to flip out."She told them."I hate the press and publicity so it's just making me angrier. ARE YOU CRAZY,JAMES?! THAT'S LIKE IF YOU WANTED TO INVITE FREAKIN RIDDLE TO TEA! NO!"Alyson said as she tossed the bottle into the trash."The idiot that I dated...Merlin give me patience."She said as she began to reach into her fridge.

"the only way i think she would be able to know about both the Leaky thing and the Ice Cream thing is if she was there. but we didn't see her. so it means she was either using some disillusionment charms or invisiblity cloaks, or she has an informant that was there both times or she is an illegal animagi" said Riley getting up and paced trying to remember.

"You don't need to yell at me but you need to either get her to stop or give her something else to write about."James stated, he looked at Riley. "Any ideas?"

Alyson began to rub her temples."I'm one person and she's got my number somehow."She said to James."I don't know why I'm on the end of it but I don't know what to do. On the subject of yelling,do you want me to kill her or yell at you because either way suits me."She said as she closed the fridge and sat on the bar counter."Well,I mentioned to James that she might be an illegal animangi. That might explain something. But she's got my number and I'm telling you now. I get one more article like that,then by Merlin I'm going to give her a war of the press however I can."

"it's weird though. why did she focus on us just few days after i came back from mexico? and why does she have to get into people's business. i know she is a journalist but come on seriously, most actually interview people, not spy on them some way and spin out lies about them" said Riley. "I say we need to catch her in the act."

"I'll bring up the Illegal Animagi angel to Lily and have her checked."James promised and he began to head for the door. "I'll keep you up on anything that I hear, its going to be okay."

Alyson looked at James incrediously."How is it going to be 'okay'?"She asked him as she hopped off the counter. She was still a little shorter than him as she was looking at him from the other side of the room and slapped her right hand on the table."My name is getting slandered all over the biggest newspaper in the magical world and you're telling me that it's going to be okay?! My kid is probably sitting at school wondering why she didn't know about all this and if her mother's been lying to her for the past upteenth years all because of whatever Skeeter's writing. So no,James,it's not going to be okay. Not for me at least. For you,yeah. Me,no. I will tell you the truth right now,I will not live down the day that my child comes home to me and asks me who her real dad is or why I've been lying to her for the past years of her life. I'm not going to do it James Potter."Alyson told James.

Riley watched Alyson basically blow up at James.he found it funny slightly. just the fact she was yelling at him. not at the fact that Skeeter's article would affect many people. he hated this. this is why he hated fame.because the press were like hounds.but he had managed to keep a straight face. or at least a thoughtful expression

Getting fed of being yelled at by Alyson he walked over to her and looked her in the eye so she could see how serious he was being. "You think that I enjoy the fact that Ines my first child is thinking that her entire life is lie?!"He asked. "You know I love Ines as much as I do Harry and Evie so please never think otherwise. I will talk to Ines tomorrow and let her know that everything in the paper is a lie and that we::he pointed at himself and Alyson:: her parents love her. As far as your name getting slandered, it comes with the territory of being in the spotlight and when I say its going to be okay, that I will give this problem my complete attention. When have I ever failed in something as important as this?"

"If you talk to her,I am going to be there. I don't care what you say about Skeeter because that's my kid and I'd like to talk to her as well."Alyson said calmly as her temper remained right on the edge.At his last question,it went over the edge as it just fanned the flames."Hmmm...let's think back shall we?"Alyson said sarcastically."How about when I finally sucked down all my pride and decided to write to you a couple summers ago after I injured my shoulder that June? I was trying to get you to come and get Ines so that I could go and try to get it repaired completely rather than just enough to continue on the day to day stuff. Let's see,I had Ines all ready to go over with everything ready after I got your first response of date and time and such but then lo and behold the almighty James Potter never showed up on HIS specified date and time so I had to tell our kid that her Dad was too busy to come and see her for one summer so I just simply gave up and when she went back to Hogwarts,I went on to a school so I could get a degree and get a different occupation to support the family without dipping into the reserve of the parents' money from the will. And don't say I didn't write you because I still have your letter that you sent me back!"Alyson said to James still at the eye contact level.

(Low, so low) "If you want to be with me when I explain to her about Skeeter then by all means be my guest. She's also my kid, I put in as much time as you did when raising her, I wish I could have been around her more but I've been there."He said. "I came by and got her later on that day, you knew I was busy in a meeting with Dumbledore about my plans for Hogwarts and I told you that there was a possiblity of me being late. I apologized to Ines and promised her that I'm never too far for to contact, that was why I gave her that two-way mirror, remember?" Alyson's statements hit James like a bludger and he looked into her eyes as he continued. "Please do not bring up the past, Barrister because I think that you would look just as guilty."He said harshly. "As long we're bringing things up lets talk about the time not long after Ines was born when you disappeared off the face of the earth and I couldn't find you unitl I saw you in a bleeding newspaper showing you with Ines when she was 4? How about the time when the Quidditch World Cup was in Italy and you apperated on my doorstop with Ines without saying a word dumped her on me and disapperated before I could ask you a question? OR back when we were at Hogwarts and you MODIFIED my memory so you could break up with me?" "When are you ever going to forgive me for leaving you? I mean I thought we were over this."
