j.potter's POV

I didn't quite like today.

First it started off with me waking up alone. I blame Cedric, he has been on a crusade to keep me away from my girlfriend. Damn Bastard, but at least whenever I hold him she thinks I'm hotter then normal- his one pro amongst many cons.

I walked downstairs in my pajama bottoms to make some coffee when I hit my toe on the table. "Aw motherfuck-" and before I could finish my sound of pain I heard my mother go, "Language, James Fleamont Potter." Shit.

"I raised you so right, and Sirius was the same when it came to foul language and now you speak like a sailor." My mum said, "And Remus the sweet boy, I blame Peter for the way you all talk. I never liked that boy." My mother added. Remus is the one who' began speaking with every other word being fuck. "Yeah mum it was Peter,"

My mother smiled and drank her cup of tea. "We'll sit down, boy. Tell me what's on your mind." My mother said and patted the chair next to her. "I just miss Diana and I hate this secret thing." I said and mum poured me a glass of her tea.

"Have you talked to her? And you know you'll get to be with her today at the ball." Mum said and handed me the glass. "Thank you, mum." I said and she smiled. "So why the secret relationship?" She asked me.

"I adore her, mum. I want to show off my girl. I want to see guys look at her and know they can't have her. Hell, I want to marry this girl someday, mum. But I can't do that. I understand and respect her wish to be private but not being able to touch her or hold her just makes me want to do it more."  I ranted out.

"You lovesick idiot." My mother said laughing. "Have you asked her why? The girl doesn't give a damn to anyone's opinion and she doesn't want people to know about your relationship? And yes you adore her but do you love her? You need to think about that before you do anything." My mum said.

"We've both only said it once, really." Yeah mom, the only time I've said the words I love you was when I was blind in rage and then fucked her in a locker room. "And you've been together for how long now?"

Um ok time for muggle math uh we started dating in March right before my birthday. So 1 month in April, 2 months in may and then today would make 3 months. "We've been together about 3 months, our anniversary would be the 20th I guess." I said and she looked at me with her jaw dropped.

"You have been dating her for 3 months and only said I love you once? Merlin James!" My mother said and hit my arm. "I raised you better then that! This is your fathers fault." She said then got up to get ready.

✨🪄🔮🪄✨

I stood in the mirror buttoning my shirt. As I moved to put on my tie my father came into the room. As I put the tie around my neck he stood beside me looking in the mirror.

"Your mother lectured me." He said. "3 months, really son?" He asked me. I let out a laugh. "Not you too." And he smirked. "Yes me too and now let me fix your terrible hair." My father said.

"Terrible?! My hair is not terrible!" I proclaimed and he crossed his arms. "You wear those clothes, you get the best quidditch gear, and you live in this house because I made it possible for everyone to have good hair and you, my son, have a black curly tangled mop on your head." My dad said. "Dad-" and he cut me off.

"You're an embarrassment but let me fix that." My father said and put his hands in my hair with gel. "Son, the one thing I want you to know and learn in life is one thing." He said and I quieted down. "Tell the people you love that you love them as much as you can before it's too late." My father said and then stepped back.

"Now you look like my son." My father said and we both laughed. "Get you asses down here we have to leave!" We heard my mother call from down the stairs. "Mum we are already an hour late." I said coming down. "Yes but that means we are almost past fashionably late." She said and took my hand as we apparated to malfoy manor.

The first thing we saw was Diana's parents a large distance away from Diana and then I looked with my jaw dropped. She wore red. I saw her with regulus and heard them say, "We are the golden children" from him and then, "Yes but all good gold has deep bite marks." From her before she grabbed something off a table. She then was see to be chugging a bottle of red wine while sticking up her middle finger toward her mother.

When the bottle was empty she dropped the glass on the floor, smashing the bottle and then used her thumb to wipe her lips then smiled widely with her teeth stained a blood red. "Have I been disowned yet, mumzie?" She said and everyone was shocked.

My mother and I however for a different reason. Her hair was pin straight and blonde and she was wearing a puffy red 1950's ball gown it then hit my mother and I that she came here for one reason and one reason only. If she gets disowned then they don't have a reason to try and 'fix' Cedric. She's doing this to protect him.
