new years after party?? --Lily--

[kaitlin]

Holding his drink in his hand he tilted the bottle up downing the rest of the whiskey before throwing it in the trash. His hand went to the top of his head were he rubbed his hair for a moment yawning. What to do now. The New Year’s party was over, and well there really wasn’t much you could do when you were slightly buzzed, and well everyone else seemed to be wasted. Just shaking his head Chris apperated off to his room above the Leaky Cauldron.

Not many people knew he had a place up there, only him, a few of his friends and Lily. It was just a place he could escape from. Escape from his family, escape from school, or in this case escape from all of his drunken friends. See Christopher Wyatt wasn’t one to actually get drunk. He didn’t like not being able to control himself. He was more of the ‘I will drink a few drinks, get a little buzzed then stop’ kind of guys. Yeah Chris could handle his alcohol well, but he just never took the chance in getting completely drunk. Well that was a lie, about the third time him and Lily dated she had convinced him to actually get wasted, which led one thing to another and you get the point.

Shaking all those thoughts out of his head he ran his fingers over his head again as he walked into the bathroom turning on the hot water and hopping in the shower. Hoping it would wake him up, and wash the smell of booze and cigarettes off of his skin. Standing under the water he closed his eyes letting the water pour down over his face. Automatically making him feels better than he did just a moment ago.

The shower didn’t last long though. The cold water seemed to start to dominate the little hot water he did get. So he just shut it off completely grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist. Walking into his room looking in the mirror. Looking at the few scars he had on his chest from his childhood, something he didn’t like to remember. His brothers were horrible, using small Chris as a spell/punching bag… Something he regretted, but as soon as his brothers left Hogwarts, when he was 15 he started taking fighting classes, he knew he didn't need that much help with magic, but he didn’t want to be wimpy the rest of his life. So he started to develop muscle and is were he is now.

Pulling on a pair of black and red striped boxers he put on a pair of faded jeans and laid back on his bed putting his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling thinking about sleeping, but knowing it probably wouldn’t happen…

[lydia]

Lily stared at the butterbeer she had ordered. Spending her new years alone wasn't what she would call enjoyable. She had plenty to think about and well it wasn't looking good. She drunk part of the night away. Being careful on her limit. She wanted to hit just before tipsy then make a move to perhaps diagon alley and finish up there. At least she could get a room if she really needed, and if she was in luck then Chris would be about, maybe she could shack up with him?

No doubt he would be there, escaping life as lily was. She knew Chris wouldn't be staggering around with family or friends, he would be either alone or just about to return either home or too his personal room in the leaky cauldron. She debated at first to go to knockturn alley and risk a run in with bellatrix or to see if chris was around. Maybe chris was fed up of her? A little bit of panic ran through but she pushed it away, finishing her drink. Hey it was new years! Sure she was pregnant but a few wouldn't hurt right?


She headed out in the cold, it was probably a mission to walk to another side of london but when you were cold and heading towards tipsy time flew by and before she knew it she was outside the pub doors. It was grubby inside, but most of the wizardry pubs were. She ordered a fire whiskey sending a glance up the stairs. Debating whether to go up or not, eventually she took her drink with her, took her careful steps up and headed down the narrow hallway to Chris's room. It was always the same one. She knocked on, wondering whether to walk in or to wait.

She stood at the door examining her drink, rather happy that it looked like a clean glass. A bonus when you were at the leaky cauldron. Though most of the time she sent her drink back if it ended up in some scutty state. She was never one to care though when she was too drunk. Her drunken ways did get her far sometimes, perhaps a little too far, but she enjoyed it none the less. She waited for an answer, wondering maybe he wasn't here after all. Disappointment began setting in.

[kaitlin]

Looking at the cracked ceiling he began to wonder why he hadn’t even gotten himself a nicer place to stay. There were numerous apartments he would afford in the area, but Christopher never gave them the time of day. This was easier for him, and well he could rent out this place for a few weeks and then go without even paying it and it always seemed he never got kicked out. That’s how he liked it. No worries for him. Unlike an apartment he knew he would have to pay for it weekly or monthly whichever the owner demanded, and well he was never one to keep up with payments on a regular so that had to be why he didn’t move, right?

Not feeling like even thinking about that, Christopher closed his eyes, but right at the time he heard a knock on the door and groaned. It was probably another drunk who lost his way. Standing up he didn’t bother pulling on a shirt and just walked to the door. Opening it, and speaking before he looked. “Listen –“ the young man cut himself off seeing the girl who was standing in his door way. “Lily!” he said with a smile as he opened the door all the way starring over at her. It had been about four or five days since he last saw the young woman. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to see her but more of the fact he had been super busy…

Chris just smiled wrapping an arm around her and kissing the top of her head. “Come in beautiful.” He said with a smirk on his lips as he dropped his hands and moved out of her way so she could walk in. The six foot three man stood there looking down at her. Wondering why in the world she had came by, but then it hit him, one it was new years, and two Lily probably was down stairs about to get herself drunk…How he disapproved of that since she was pregnant…

You would think that Chris would care less about the girl being pregnant, since it was some other guy’s kid. But that wasn’t the case with Christopher Wyatt. He actually was very concerned of her, and how she behaved. Defiantly with her drinking and smoking. He had tried to convince her to stop numerous times, but tonight he wasn’t going to even bother on that. It was new years, and well everyone drank on new years. “It’s good to see you love.” Chris said with a smile as he just stood there holding onto the door handle.

[lydia]

Just as she began to consider leaving Chris turned up, breaking off whatever he was about to say. Perhaps some drunks were loosing their way or something. She could have always been one of them and just ended up stumbling accross to him. but no she was very much not drunk, well she might have been closer to drunk but she wasn't that bad. she was out to enjoy herself, and leave worries outside of the pub, and hopefully if chris was up for it, they could spend time together.

She was greeted with a small smile and she returned one of her own. "You took your time" she said in a joking tone raising up her glass to show she was in a rather unusual good mood. It had been nearly a week since they last spoke. Holidays didn't help. Lily had been dreading her new year. It just meant a year of her life was wasted, and another to make her life even worse. She stood absent mindly admiring his body. She could look couldn't she. She was after all the officially girlfriend.

She grinned as she was pulled into a soft warm hug, and a loving kiss was placed on her head. If it wasn't for her being almost a foot shorter than him she would have made sure that kiss had landed on her lips. "Well i think i just might" she said playfully entering in the room that was opened for her. She took a sip of her drink as she did feeling the buzz and a mixture of confidence and happiness. Alcohol did plenty to change the mood of someone. Clearly tonight would be a good night.

Lily knew he would disaprove of her being or at least getting drinking whilst being pregnant. But she was willing to forget about the life of lily for one night. "Its nice to see you too" she nodded ditching her drink on the dresser and collapsing onto the bed. "So whats going on, how come your spending new years all alone?" she finally qued in.

[kaitlin]

Christopher had been the one to take his time at everything. Took his time doing his work, getting dress, taking a shower, eating, and well answering the door. With a sly smirk on his face he watched the young girl walk in and he shut and locked the door behind them, placing a small spell that allowed either of them to enter or leave the room, but prevented outsiders from barging in. Wouldn’t that just ruin the night if a bunch of drunks plunged in. “Yeah, well I thought you were a drunken grumpy man m’dear. But I was clearly wrong.”

Noticing the alcohol in her hand made him frown, but he had told himself before he even noticed it that he wasn’t going to say anything about her drinking tonight. Any other night he would have taken it from her then and there, but he wasn’t going to ruin her good mood. Not when he knew that she didn’t have a lot of them being pregnant, trust him, he had fallen wrath to her angry mood swings several times. But he learned to let them play out, and not argue with her, because it only made them worse…

Christopher had completely forgotten that he was minus a shirt, but he knew it didn’t bother her, and could tell when he had caught her starring at him, before he had pulled her into the hug. So right now putting on a shirt was the least of his worries. He just walked in behind her following her over towards the bed, leaning up against the wall listening to the young woman talk, that same smile on his face, the smile that was present every time she was around. “You know I have meant to come and visit you, but I didn’t know where you were staying, so it was kind of difficult.” Chris said honestly as he watched her set the glass of alcohol on the dresser, thank the lord.

Chris didn’t really fill like watching her drink, but her putting the drink down herself brought a smile to his face, making him go over and sit on the bed next to her, looking down at the beautiful girl he called his girlfriend. “Hmm, well I was at a party, but I didn’t feel like being around a bunch of drunks. Plus there is only one person who I wanted to spend my new years with, and she just showed up at my door a moment ago.” He said with a smile as he leaned down pressing his lips to hers, moving his hand to her cheek and just kissing the girl for a moment. Not wanting to pull away, but making himself he smiled and spoke; “there now both our love lives will be good this year. And I just missed you..” He said with a smile on his face as he rubbed her cheek with his thumb...

Why did Chris say that you ask? Well Christopher was all into the little new years myths, like the fact that if you kiss someone on new years you will have a thriving romance life… Now, neither of them had to worry right?

[lydia]

Lily had infact been busy getting ready to go on the run. She'd already been tipped of that Jack was going to release everything she was to the world, so why not be one step ahead. Thats where Bellatrix was going to come in handy. All lily needed to do was make amends with the woman.

"Well" she replied softly but in a slight joking tone. "Im part way there, thats for sure" she pushed away the thoughts on what a few days time would bring. "Apart from being grumpy and a man of course"

She was of course surprised he hadn't said anything about her drinking. But maybe he was letting her off since it was new years after all. She knew she shouldn't drink through pregnancy and knew when Chris took it off her he meant well. Maybe he cared for the child too. She wasn't sure but he was doing a better job than axel that was certain. She hadn't really seen Axel since. That was his problem not hers.

She sighed. "Don't worry about that" she gave him a small smile back. "Its going to get a little bit more difficult to see each other soon" she admitted. "Well... maybe more than just a little bit, and im getting pulled out of hogwarts too" she knew he wouldn't completely understand, but she was ashamed to admit that she was getting grassed up by the same man who made her this way. Jack was going to have to watch out.

She knew it would make him happy to have her put the drink down. She hadn't yet quit smoking, but promised that for new years she would. Well she hoped she would. He came over and sat beside her, both with smiles on their faces. She loved being with Chris, he always made her day even when she was in a bad mood. He could cope with her, she was glad about that. Her smile soon widened by his comment. "For a moment i thought you weren't in. Then that would have been my new years ruined." she replied, before a gentle kiss was on her lips. She knew neither of them wanted to break apart. She knew about a few new years myths, and Chris had already mentioned that he was into then. She knew about the kiss and she gave him a small smile. "i missed you too" she paused. "Im sure they both will be" well she hoped their love lives would be the best. "So, what would you like to do tonight unless of course that girl you mentioned that came to the door is hiding somewhere and your waiting for me to leave" she gave a small laugh.

[kaitlin]

Chriss was well different around Lily. Something in him always had been. He wasn’t sure, maybe she was the one who was keeping him from actually snapping and becoming just like his brothers. Cold, evil, and well do whatever they feel like just to get their way. See Chris knew if she ever left him for good that the thinlinet if she ever left him for good that the thin line that was holding him on the calm balanced side he was at now.

There had always been a repressed side of Chris. A side begging to get out, but never allowing himself too because of the lack of confidence he had from the constant terror he received as a child. Theterroro that put him in Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin like his father, brothers, and all of his forefathers, who happened to be all wizards. That isuntill his father, a death eater, knocked up a muggle and decided to stay with her.

See Chris's childhood wastraumatizingg. Made him never want to think about having kids, but when he learned Lily was pregnant, with non other than that stupid Axel Wynn, he knew that the child had apossibilityy of having a horrible childhood, like the one he had.Butt see with Chris already loving Ms. Potter, he just felt the need to makesuree he helped her with the child, and to make sure that it wasn'ttraumatizedd in the way he was.

So smiling he listened to her ask what he wanted to do tonight. "Oh, well Idontt think she will come back. Not many people,apparentlyy, want to cross your path Luna."het eased lookingg over at the girl. "Plus I am perfectly happy who is laying here beside me at the moment." IT as true. He seriously couldn't ask for someone better, in his opinion to be here with him. Even if she was a death eater, disliked by most of her family, and lastly tried to kill his best friend seven times.

There was something about her, and him, that seemed to draw them to each other, hence them dating who knows how many times. Just with a smile he leaned over her placing a hand beside her head holding himself over herslightlyy as he pecked her on the lips. "I dont care what we do as long as I get to spend my new years with you Luna." he said with a bright grin on his face as he placed another light kiss on her lips. "You know I love you right."

[lydia]

Lily had always known a balance between good and evil lay between everyone, and at some point in everyones lives they crossed it. It just depended how far you ran for it, or at least got dared to run. Lily had gone pretty far, only really just realising the consequences of her actions. She had always gone in pride to her detentions at school. Never one to deny the consequence. After all if you do the crime prepare to do the time. But when it came down to Azkaban, and the money Jack had offered her, well it was very tempting to take it. And she had fallen for the trick and had attempted to send dom to azkaban instead. Which backfired when Jack stormed in claiming lily was a murderer. But luckily Jack was sent away. She knew she would go down one day, but she wasn't sure Azkaban was a punishment she could accept.

Lily would never dream of having her child to subject of abuse, and she knew at one point Jack had attempted to take the child from her. That was him crossing the line. If ever Jack, Dom, or Bellatrix attempted to take this child from her, there would be murder. And lily would make sure she came out on the top. There was no way someone was taking what was rightfully hers. Sure at first she didn't want it, it was a bit of a shock, but now it was setting in. It was something she was determined to make right, it was part of her and even if axel had pissed her off she was going to make sure this kid had the best childhood any kid could get.

There had to be one downside to the whole relationship. And to Lily.... it was a big downside, Dom was his bestfriend. She knew it wouldn't be long before dom tried to come along and destroy what she had left along with her family. She knew tonight at some point her father would come along or perhaps even dom. She smiled at the comment not sure whether it was a compliment or something else."Well.. i can name a few people that will cross it eventually." she noted to him, She knew what he said second was a compliment, and she soon broke out a grin. How she had managed to keep chris she didn't know, and she knew once she "died" she'd loose him. It wouldn't only break her heart, but she guessed it would break his. For tonight she would have to fake the pain. She would have to play like nothing was wrong. "Neither could i" she smiled back to him.

Her smile soon fell at what he said,there would always be the slight doubt she had. She couldn't help it. "You know.." she began whilst tracing his features on his face gently with her hand. "Loves a strong word..." she noted watching curious to his reaction. "You shouldn't say it unless you really mean it." she finished,

[kaitlin]

Things in his life would take a big turn for the worse when Lily faked her own death, and neither would have probably expected it. who would. Who would even think that quiet, sweet, kind Christopher Wyatt, would even turn death eater. Who would think that he would pick up his fighting again, and who would think that he nearly gets kicked out of school. No one. No one would think that... But it isn't just the fact of Lily's soon to be fake death that would play a role in that. But the fact that her own father supposable did it that made him snap...

With a smile on his face though Christopher only knew one thing as he did look down at his girlfriend, that he was happy that she was here. That he was happy that she took him back one more time, and this his time he had actually managed to keep things straight in between hem, that was what made him happy, who wouldn't it. So leaning down and placing a nother light kiss on her lips he just nodded as she spoke. "But they would all regret it once they did, and defiantly some random girl who was just trying to get into my room." he teased looking down into those all familiar eyes once again.

But when she said that about love he frowned slightly. Chris was well aware of the fact that she probably did doubt him when he said that, who wouldn't. Who would believe someone who broke your heart so many times, he didn't know, but Chris did know he love her. he loved her more than he ever loved anyone in his entire life. "Luna don't say that. You know I love you, I would do anything to prove that to you as well..." He stated rubbing her cheek with his hand. "I swear, anything."

Chris's words were true. How could they not be. How could he not love Lily Potter. The one Little fourth year who seemed to have a tight grip on his heart for the past few years or so....

[lydia]

Lily did wonder through her curiousity, what it would be like without a Lily Potter in the world. Would it be peaceful? For the time being she was sure as hell it would be. There would be no accidental or mysterious deaths wandering around.... She paused on a thought. She'd be forgotten? Well... considering her family hated her, they would most likely celebrate. But then again, she could retrieve her revenge. And she sure as hell didn't know how to fake her own death. She would most likely end up going with the spur of the moment, and then most likely die knowing her luck

She laughed at his teasing comment. "well im not that great of a witch, but i'd be sure to kick their ass" she beamed. Ok that was a slight lie, she was pretty good with small jynx's and curses and such. She was clever too. She mixed up curses to make them worse than they would be singally. She once sent a snake out in a duel, and then enlarged it twice the size of the boy that had attempted to bully her. It hadn't turned out quite to plan when her professor came running down the corridor, but it was rather amusing to see his face drop in horror at the small party tricks she could do.

She looked straight back into his eyes. It was sad to think just how chris would react to her death. It would be interesting (if she survived) to see just what he did. Bellatrix used polyjuice potions to go out into the open, and Lily was sure there would be a spare one wandering around, if it came to the point of seeking out bellatrix's help of course. It stung slightly to hear him say he would do anything. Perhaps him letting go wouldn't go down very well. Especially if it was one of her family members. She pulled chris into a tight hug. "Just promise not to forget me" she replied.

[kaitlin]

Christopher couldn't help but to release a slightly laugh as she mentioned not being that great of a witch. Even if she was a Slytherin, his best friend, who happened to be her cousin, hated her, he knew she had to be a at least somewhat good witch. She was Harry Potters kid, so that counted for something. Unlike him. Chris knew that he came from a no named family. His mother being a muggle, and his father a death eater, pure blood death eater who was murdered when Chris was ten. Why? because the pure blood death eater was secretly married to a muggle. He was sneaking around, breaking the rules for what...Love? Exactly.

That key in his life is what Chris slightly lived by. Do anything for love, no matter what other people thing. Yes his father and mother allowed his childhood to be a living hell. Allowed Connor and his other brother to tease him, beat him, tear down all the confidence he might have had... But non of that mattered. Non of it. Chris still looked up to his parents, it was more like he looked up to the love that they shared, something he one day wished to feel himself. And that itself, his little thought he went by, and his parents is exactly why he didn't care anything about what people thought about him dating the somewhat apparently crazed Lily Potter.

So when he was pulled into that hug, Chris just smiled as he rolled on his back pulling her on top of him, but keeping her in that slightly tight hug as he kissed her hair. How could he forget her. How could he forget Lily potter, the girl who made him loose some of his friends because he would have rather stuck with his girlfriend then turn on her... It would be completely impossible for him to do that. "Luna...I couldn't forget you, even if someone stole my memories for ever, i doubt they could rid my mind completely of you." His words followed by his lips lightly kissing her for head as he starred up at the dark headed girl.

If only he knew this would be the last time he ever spent with Lily Potter, he would probably do this all different. He would make sure to make it the best possible, but he didn't know...So now it would just be any other night, and soon he would find himself alone, broken, and completely changed.

[lydia]

Lily hated how she had to pretend. But she couldn't tell him, Jack could read minds, and once he found this, then it was game over for lily. She had to keep this all down low, no one but herself and bellatrix could know, and perhaps a few loyal death eaters. Anyone else was to be silenced. Lily wasn't sure how to play out her final night with him. She had to play it normal right? But make it one of the better nights they shared. Because by next week? A funeral would probably take place (if she was even graced with one) and she, would be lily potter no longer. Because lily potter wouldn't exist. Lily Potter would be dead.

Love could be cruel. Especially when someone loved too much. Death was...scary. The thought of not coming back, not knowing where you were going. Well lily knew if she was going any place it would be hell, but with any luck someone would drag her back up from her grave. Ha like that would happen. The only people in the world that needed lily was bellatrix (who would surely dispose of her) and chris (who would get over her). She didn't know what she would do if she caught chris with someone else. A mix of an angry lily, and hormones.. she could only guess not very well. She wouldn't know what to do... she'd hunt the girl down and ensure she died. But then.. she couldn't exactly jump out and say Hi Chris! it's your dead girlfriend. Blah. Love, it sucked when it all came to this, but she couldn't help but be addicted to chris.

She doubted she would be able to stay away from chris, and maybe with any luck his brother would convince him to join the death eaters, and then maybe once he was loyal enough she could... pop out? He'd probably die of shock... he would have traded his life in for revenge.. if he wanted revenge and then realise it was all for nothing. Ok maybe she shouldn't hope for that, but she could sure as hell walk by maybe once of twice a month.... week... day.... Ok, now she was sounding stalkerish. But she knew that Bellatrix got highly bored in hiding and lily no doubt would be the same.

She was soon pulled on top of him. She was glad she didn't have some huge ass bump to lye on, unlike in the future that would be what she obtained.She couldn't help but break a smile to what he said. He couldn't forget her. She was sure to haunt him once she'd gone then. "Good." she smiled back down. "I wont forget you either." she paused. "Now do i get to finish my butterbeer off, or is it a new years resolution to quit." she grinned, placing a light peck on his lips.
