Chapter One: She Thought Wrong
---
Lily
Come down to the Auror Department now. I need to talk to you about something very important. You might want to bring tissues. I am afraid we have run out.
Alice
‘Did something happen to James?’ the woman thought. Mrs. Lily Potter was sitting in her rather large office at the Experimental Charms Department at the Ministry of Magic which she ran. She had her thick, waist length dark red hair put up in to a nicely done, professional bun. Her almond shaped emerald green eyes were glued to the piece of parchment. The already creamy complexion she possessed grew white. She was not a tall woman; she was very petite, small waist, small legs, small arms, well you get the picture. For work she had to wear forest green robes that went perfectly with her eyes. The robes also had the Ministry of Magic seal on the left of her chest.
Mrs. Potter grabbed her designer hand bag and rushed down to her husband’s department at the Ministry. James Potter was the Junior Head of Aurors. They had been married for nine months and were living happily, or so Lily thought. The Potters lived in Godric’s Hollow, a small muggle village. Their house was mostly away from everybody else in the village so they could do magic. It was a simple white house with Black shutters. Two stories, it had. The rooms in the village house were large, larger than any other house in the neighborhood.
When Lily got to Auror Headquarters her best friend, Alice Longbottom, greeted her. Alice had shoulder length dirty blonde hair. Her bright blue eyes looked extremely nervous. Alice was sort of chubby, but she was a little taller than Lily. Everybody was looking at Lily with the same glint in their eyes. Lily was starting to feel very uncomfortable because all eyes were on her. The reason, she did not know at all.
“What is wrong, Alice?” asked Lily Potter sensing some thing uneasy.
“Lily there is some thing I think you should know,” said Alice Longbottom. She looked towards a door that read, ’James Harold Potter.’
“What is wrong with my husband?” Lily said urging her to talk.
“Soon to be your ex husband, maybe,” Alice muttered under her breath, but thankfully Lily did not hear. She was too worried thinking of what her spouse has gotten in to now.
“Ally, tell me what is going on right this instant,” ordered the flustered wife of the World Class Auror, James Potter.
“He is cheating on you with his secretary,” her friend blurted out, eyes closed.
“What!” whispered Lily Potter, not wanting the rest of the Aurors hearing in on their conversation.
Alice knew she was going to act like this. “We, I mean all of us Aurors, have been hearing moans and giggles coming from behind his office door. When the secretary comes out of James’s office the noises stop. The only possibility we came up with is that he is having an affair with Janet, his secretary. She is a real slut that is why she was most likely number one for the job.”
Lily started to break down. She sat in the closest chair because she felt like she was going to faint, could you blame her though. Lily knew her friend would never lie to her. It was really happening James was cheating on his lovely wife, Lily Evans Potter. Usually men cheat on their wife when she is gray and old, not after only nine months of marriage. They were only twenty one, still very young.
‘I guess he did not get what he wanted from me,’ Lily thought sadly.
“How long? How long have you heard these noises?”
“Almost two weeks. Oh Lily, I am so sorry. Once a player, always a player, I guess.” Alice hugged her best friend tightly.
Lily began to cry uncontrollably on to Alice Longbottom’s shoulder. Soon after, Frank Longbottom, Alice’s husband, came over. He had short brown hair. His pale green eyes looked at the sobbing twenty one year old woman.
“You told her I see,” he observed. Frank wrapped his arms around both his wife and long time friend. He could not see why James, his friend and boss, would cheat on Lily, who he was very protective of. She was amazing; she was smart, charming witty, beautiful, funny, successful, and a great cook, almost better than Alice who was the best cook. Frank thought as Lily as a younger sister. He could kill James right now for putting her through so much pain.
Every Auror looked at Lily; all knowing what was going on. They did not want to tell her at first but, Alice urged them to tell her. All the Aurors and Auror trainees started to go around Lily and comfort her. Lily would not stop her hysterical sobbing.
“I thought we were happy. I thought he changed. I thought he cared for me. I thought wrong.”
“Honey, you fell for his charm. It is not your fault. He is a stupid git, great Auror, but a stupid git. Frank and I will always be here to help you.” Alice rubbed Lily’s back soothingly.
“Ally can we go some where a little bit more private to talk?” She nodded. The married women stood up and walked in to Alice’s office. Her own office was painted pink with a Lily flower trim. They sat on a little white couch that was placed near the door.
“I love him, Ally. Damn it, why did he have to do this? I anted to spend the rest of my life with him. I wanted him to be the father of my children. This whole thing makes me think, did he ever love me? Was I just another girl on his list?”
“I am really sorry to say this, but I do not know what to think, any more. No one ever thought he would cheat on you,” Alice said looking like she was in a daze.
“Why do you look like…….. No Alice, do not think or say any thing like that. Frank would never do that to you. He loves you. Any way, he is not the type of guy to cheat. I have not even seen him cheat on a simple board game. We all know James has down it millions of times. Last month for instance, while you were in the bathroom he stole ninety percent of your money in Monopoly. I made him put it back,” Lily chuckled.
Alice sighed in relief. Frank was too nice to do that. “You are so right Lily, when has that changed?”
Lily gave a quick sob. “I was wrong about James.”
“Lils, I have an idea. Why don’t you go show off that redhead wrath that you save for the one and only James Harold Potter?”
Lily smirked a bit and walked out the door. She went down the hall to a door unscripted, ’James Harold Potter.’ The bronze door knob was turned by her hand with her wedding ring on it.
‘He gave that to me. The symbol of our love, or the winning of his challenge,’ Lily thought inside her head.
The ring was a simple sterling silver band with, ‘Always is forever,’ engraved in to the ring. A few tears escaped Lily’s eyes when she heard a female giggle. She opened the entranceway. A woman with silver blonde hair was on top of a man with raven jet Black hair. His dress shirt was unbuttoned and the woman was working on his belt.
“James Potter!”
James pushed Janet off of him; his hazel eyes were wide, and his thin face was pale. “Lily… I…. I…..”
“Save it! What the fuck is going on!”
“Janet leave!”
The secretary left the couple alone. Lily shut the door after her and coughed, “bitch.”
“Lily, I am so sorry. Nothing happened, I promise.”
“Why?” she cried.
“She started to flirt with me and one thing led to another. Lils, love, I don’t feel any thing for her. I love you.” James kissed his wife’s cheek.
She pushed him off. “It is called control, James. If you loved me you wouldn’t have had an affair. The Aurors knew you were doing this and told me. I love you, but I can not forgive you. Goodbye, James Potter.” Lily Evans Potter walked out of her husband’s, soon-to-be ex husband’s, office; he followed.
“Lily please, do not leave me,” James pleaded running after her.
“To late, expect divorce papers soon,” she said, her voice shaking. Lily apparated out of the Ministry of Magic after she waved to her husband. James ran to Alice.
“Alice! Where did she go?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“She is my wife,” James stated looking in to Alice’s eyes. She saw sadness, guilt, and helplessness.
Alice nodded. “Where do you think she went?”
“America?”
She nodded once again. James Potter apparated to his home to get some clothes for America.
