Lemonade || James Potter

Même viex (same old)

It was the next morning and Buzz was still in shock from who she smelt in her amortantia yesterday. She didn't put makeup on today, she got ready in a hurry and immediately went to make some lemonade. As she walked she realized something. Prongs didn't smell the amortantia yesterday. She had totally forgotten that he told her that he still didn't get his smell back yet. When she made the lemonade she chugged it, while doing that, moony walked in. "Woah there buzz slow down" he chuckled. "What are you doing here" she said in shock. "I come here to get chocolate sometimes, what happened to you." He asked. Buzz trusted moony the most out of them all so she told him, without telling him. "I smelt broomstick polish, eucalyptus, red licorice, pineapple, coconut, ink, and butterbeer in my amortantia." She whispered to him. After a few seconds Moonys eyes widened. "James" he whispered to her, she nodded to him. "Oh gosh" he said making her a cup of lemonade eyes still wide. "What the fuck do I do!?" Buzz asked "um just sit at the Hufflepuff table for the day, he got his smell back so just wait until potions." He said panicked. "Why are you the one panicking?!" Buzz asked. "Okay look this is a lot to take in for one morning." He whisper shouted. She chugged the lemonade he made for you, and left.

Prongs was so excited to smell his amortantia today. He couldn't wait. He went to breakfast to see Buzz not at the table and Moony in a daze. "Are you feeling okay Moony did I give you something?" Prongs joked. Remus pretended to let out a little laugh still in a daze. He saw Buzz sitting at the Hufflepuff table with four glasses of lemonade in a row. "Woah who did she smell in the potion." Padfoot chuckled. Moony choked on his orange juice and kept coughing loudly everyone staring at him. So much for acting natural. Buzz thought as she heard Moony choke. She left and went to go get some fresh air.

When Buzz went outside she felt so angry, all the feelings of her mother came back, the flash backs, the pity looks, the rumors the she did it. Maybe it was karma for everything bad he's said, or merely a coincidence, but Lucius Malfoy came up to her. "Aw looks like the helpless Hufflepuff doesn't have her boy toys to protect her know." He mocked her in a baby voice. Buzz's mind races with the thought that his father his friends fathers his leader is the reason this happened. Without thinking anything through she punch him square in the nose. Lucius fell to the floor, Buzz got on top of him and kept punching him, soon everyone came out to watch, including the marauders. All Buzz could here was Marlene and Padfoot telling her to 'beat his bleached ass' and Lily screaming at you to stop but Mary holding her back from interfering, a slight smirk on her face, everyone else was just in horror, shock, or awe of Buzz. Lucius was definitely unconscious but she didn't care he did this to her mother she thought to herself. Prongs wore a bright smile on his face soon cheering her on too. Dumbledore finally got through the crowed and pulled Buzz off Lucius. For being so old he was strong. Buzz thought to herself.

She entered Dumbledores office with her wrist most likely broken. Même viex Buzz thought. "We'll Zélie im glad you showed" Dumbledore said in his calm voice Buzz still hated. "How's your wrist." He asks. "Fine" she says like a young teenager talking to their mom. "You know I could technically expel you for this right?" He asked he knew Buzz knew the answer. "Mr. Malfoy comes from a rich family I had to talk to them for hours so they would press charges. "We'll I could press charges on them for killing my mom" Buzz says matter of factly. Dumbledore hummed to that answer. "You got me there" he said. "Dumbledore why'd you bring me in here you already said I did the right thing." Buzz asked aggravated. "We'll your father told me to give you this note." He said. "You may be excused to your dorm miss d'Evreux" he finished. "What about classes?" Buzz asked "you need time to think, and you won't be able to write with that wrist." He said. After that Buzz went back to her dorm to read the note. Something told her he knew what it was about, and that it was bad.

Dear, Zélie

I don't know how to write this letter but there some things I need to get off my chest. I told you that I went to Spain for a business meeting. That was false. I lied to you Zé and I'm sorry. The truth is I have a month to live. I've been diagnosed with liver cancer 8 months ago. I will be dead when you some back from Hogwarts this year. You will live with the Potter family as you already know them but they won't be adopting you. They said they would but I disagreed, you will always be Zélie d'Evreux. I don't like writing this to you and I wish I said it sooner, I was going to tell you when I got back from Spain, but then your mother passed and it was a mess. I love you Zélie, I'm sorry for not always being there for you. I hope you understand.

Your father,
Léo d'Evreux

Buzz cried, and cried, and cried. She had to live with Prongs, and Padfoot. That's going to be so awkward once he finds out buzz thought. How could he keep this from her for so long, why did this stuff happen at the worse moments. She cut out part of the message that said. 'I love you Zélie' in her dads hand writing. She put the piece of paper along with her dad's signature in her phone case. After that she dug in her pocket for her lighter and burned the note. She cried some more while doing it. She didn't do it as a way to forget about it, she did it as a way of coping. She always loved fire it calmed her almost as much as lemonade but she chose to go with the safer options when it came to obsessions. James Potter was not a safe obsession. She thought to herself.

After waiting for hours, Prongs was almost done with potions. "Class Mr.Potter is going to smell the amortantia now" Slughorn said as everyone had finished early. Padfoot smiled at prongs walked up and sniffed the potion. After a few seconds he announced to the class what he smelt. "I smell weed, nail polish, lilacs, incense, and...lemonade"

a/n okay so I know buzz's dad dying will definitely throw people for a loop but I had to do it because it was ethereal this or her dad was abu$iv3 because I knew I wanted her to end up a James house, also sorry for the cliffhanger lol
