That's The Difference

Train Ride Home

"Fal, I'm telling you to just come with us, Mrs Potter is a lovely woman." Regulus groaned after Viv asked if I was coming to the Potters. "Like I said, James nor do I want to spend the holiday together." I argued. Evan kissed my forehead and went to get snacks from the trolley. "When's the ball?" Regulus asked, I looked at Evan's paper. "Christmas Eve, the guests arrive at 8 sharp and I dance with everyone at 9." I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.

"Move Rosier!" I heard an all too familiar voice shout. "Stay the hell away from her Potter." Evan spit. I stuck my head out of the compartment and noticed James and Evan chest to chest, arguing. "She doesn't belong to you Rosier!" James snapped. "Not yet, she will when she picks me at the ball." Evan sneered back.

Regulus rubbed my back while Viv held my hand. James shoved Evan back, making him fall to the ground. "She's not something to be owned." James spit. Evan scoffed and stood up. He turned back around to face me. "Find somewhere else Rosier." I snapped before pulling Severus in.

Shutting the door I sunk in the seat, Severus groaned and pulled my head on his shoulder. "You are a spoiled princess, you know?" Severus asked. I nodded and held onto his arm while I fell asleep against Severus. Severus woke me up once we arrived at King's Cross Station, Regulus and Viv walked out first.

Severus took off towards his parents and waved, knowing I'd see him at the ball. Regulus and Sirius grabbed my arm and pulled me in the direction of James, Remus, Peter, Marlene, and Viv. "Our parents won't be here until the crowd is gone." Sirius whispered. I noticed James lean down and kiss his mother's cheek and moved to hug his father.

His mother is very pretty, long dark brown hair, dark eyes and thinish. His father, well James was a spitting image of his father. The glasses and everything match. Sirius and Regulus let go of me to greet the Potters. I stood back and off to the side, patiently waiting for the Black parents. "And you must be Fallon!" Mrs Potter exclaimed, I jumped a bit. She pulled me into a hug. 

I hugged her back awkwardly. Mr Potter walked over and hugged me as well. "I've heard all about you, dear!" Mrs Potter smiled. "From James?" I questioned, she nodded and I laughed a bit. She looked confused and turned back to James. "Wait, you are serious?" I asked. "Of course, dear? He writes about you a lot." She smiled confusedly.

"Are these things he writes nice?" I questioned, looking quite stupid. "Of course! Why is that hard to believe dear?" She asked, taking my hands. "You son being nice to me is not something that happens on a daily basis." I explained. "Hmph." Mrs Potter turned and faced James. "James Fleamont Potter, I thought I told you to be nice to the girl!" She scolded. "Fleamont?" I questioned, laughing a bit to myself.

"I'm Fleamont Potter, dear." His dad smirked to my side. "I am so sorry." I apologize, horrified with myself. "It's alright dear. Not the first one." He smirked and nudged me. I smiled and watched as Mrs Potter scolded James. She swatted his head and pointed at me. He looked down and walked in front of me. "Fallon, I apologize for being unkind to you." He muttered, she smacked his arm.

"Correctly, James." She warned. He grasped my hands, I pulled away. "Er, I don't do physical contact." I lied. In truth I couldn't stand giving James something to call me a whore about. You held my hands! You must be a whore! Mrs. Potter smacked him "What did you do to her! I can almost hear how much she doesn't want to be around you!" She shouted.

His father laughed a bit, covering it up with a cough, I turned to him and laughed quietly. "What did he do Fallon? Tell me the truth dear. As you can see I don't like liars!" She shouted the last bit at James. "Fallon dear!" Bellatrix's screeching voice echoed in the empty train station. Everyone stiffened at the sight of her. Mrs and Mr Black were behind her.
