"Gracie, you should be resting!"
"Nonsense, now get me my robes."
"I will do no such thing no get back into bed."
"You aren't my mother, god bless her, so do not order me around."
"I am your nurse and you must do as I say now get into bed."
"I will not, I have been confined to that bed for three days. I will not under any circumstance spend another second there."
"Jen . . . is Gracie giving you a hard time?"
"No she is just being a stubborn mule!"
"Why you . . ."
"Hush both of you, now Gracie do what the doctor says and get into bed, and Jane refrain from name calling. Are you not both adults?"
"Hey, I thought you were on my side!"
"Gracie just get into that bed, and if you excuse us Jen I want to talk with her before I leave."
"Sure, just don't put her under stress."
"Yes, ma'am" Jen then left the two girls alone to converse.
"Do I have to get into the bed?"
"Stop acting like a two year old and get into that bed. Jeez, and I thought kids were bad, adults are impossible."
"I heard that."
"You were supposed too. I wanted to spend some time with you before I left and I wanted to clear some things up."
"Go on then say what you came to say, I don't have all day I have to sleep." her voice was dripping with sarcasm
"I wanted to apologize for the scene at dinner and for the way I treated you."
"How did you treat me?"
"What don't you remember?"
"No, I just remember being confined to a bathroom for the last week."
"For the last week?"
"Well yes after David came for a visit."
"David . . ."
"Yes David but what has he got to do with this?"
"I think he did something to you, like well impersonated you."
"Why ever would you think that?"
"Well I don't think Gracie, he has been up to some bad stuff and well he made a polyjuice potion and I think he used it on Farleigh, he made Farleigh impersonate you."
"No, no my David would never do something like that he couldn't I mean . . . . could he?"
"Yes, and I hate to be the bearer of more bad news." Lily spoke after a moments silence hating the tears that were falling down Gracie's face. "David and Kevin are both dead."
"No, not my boys they can't be I mean, they aren't Lillian please tell me you are lying."
"I'm afraid not." Lily replied with a sudden sadness in her voice.
"Well, then I don't want to keep you here any longer come and give me a hug and be on your way."
"Gracie I . . . ."
"No come on now give me my hug." Lily gave her a hug that lasted for about five minutes and then Gracie let go. "I need to be alone; I hope to see you soon."
"Likewise, good-bye." Lily then kissed the top of Gracie's head and left the room.
"My boys." moaned Gracie as Lily left the room. "My boys are gone." and without another word she fell into a deep sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So I guess this is good-bye until September?"
"No way Ro, I mean like we have to spend one more day together, we can stay here an extra day."
"I think we have over stayed our welcome Sirius." she replied
"Well, you can come to dinner at my house and since it's quite big you can stay the night and go home tomorrow morning."
"Really James?"
"Really."
"Yes, I mean thank you." hearing him confirm his answer Róisín enveloped him in a big bear hug.
"Hey, hey I don't think Lily would like you killing her boyfriend." said Remus as he watched the girl cut off his circulation
"Oh, yea sorry." she sent James an apologetic look, and then waited for a come back from Lily, but she noticed she wasn't around "Where is she anyway?"
"Here!" she called from the stair well. "Did you miss me?"
"Like a headache!"
"Oh, I definitely feel loved." She retorted and then stuck her lips out and started to sniffle like she was going to cry.
"Oh, honey I am so sorry. I didn't think it would hurt you."
"It's okay." she answered her facial expression becoming bright and cheery.
"Why you . . . ."
"Should take up acting." interjected Aoife
"Sure, so erm, I guess its time to say good-bye." the smile fading from her face as she said it.
"Um, no well you see James invited us over to his house for dinner and the night."
"Aiofe, are you serious?"
"No . . . ." started Sirius
"I didn't mean it like that I meant like are you not have got to be kidding me."
"No I wasn't then and I am not now. So come along then we don't want to keep them waiting."
"No correction we don't want the food to be kept waiting." he corrected while his eyes glazed over, obviously thinking about food.
"You're a pig." stated Róisín
"And you love it." smirked Sirius as he kissed her on the lips and she let out an excited squeal.
"Ehem! We don't want to witness your snogging session so please wait, for a while."
"Is little Jamsey Poo jealous?"
"Of you Sirius, no. Now come on lets go to my house." everyone hurriedly grabbed some floo powder and flooed to the Potters house. Boy was this going to be a weird night.
