Chapter 88: Ch.90 First love
I just want to quickly make a small announcement. 91 Will be the last chapter of the whole 2nd year. I can't believe I took 50 chapter for this whole thing in its entirety. But from 92 We are straight into 3yr.
I just wanted to quickly ask if I should put the whole arc into aux. Since it's more like filler and all and I can make like a quick recape of it all in the 92 chapter. Just spit balling let me know.

A man clad in a deep vermilion suite appeared out of thin air in front of the Potter manor. The man had long black hair that sat at his shoulders. The man looked the state of the manor, it was still pristine but it might not have seen much use of it in recent years. He stepped inside his stride showed purpose and his eyes filled with worry and concern. He simply walked inside the manor and found the man he was looking for.
"This better be good… I'm supposed to be watching cricket with Vernon." James said with a serious face but couldn't hold his laugh for longer with Sirius starting at him giving him a side eye.
James recognized the look on his friend's face and said, "Did something happen?"
Sirius sighed gravely and nodded lightly to his question, "Something might be coming…"
"Who?" James face no longer held the levity any more. He started to walk towards a setting area near the hall to comfortably talk with him.
"That's the issue." Sirius sat down on the couch next to James and clasped his hands together and didn't knowing what to tell him since there wasn't much to tell him.
"What do you mean?"
"Jonathan was attacked in Brazil… he got arrested." James eyes widened at the revelation he may not love the boy but he certainly cared for him.
"Is he okay?" He asked as he placed a hand on Sirius's shoulder.
"Yeah…" Sirus's reply confused him. If Jonathan wasn't injured or harmed then why?
"How? How was he arrested?" James asked as he got his wand out and conjured up some tea. Handing a cup to Sirius.
"The how isn't important… the why is? It has been years since his demise and most of his followers are in Azkaban then who did this?" Sirius took the cup and got a little flask out of his jacket and added it to his tea and took a sip.
"Are we even sure it was even related to him? If could just be a misunderstanding?" James tried to reason with his friend.
"That's the problem, we don't know much even I get to know of it when Ministry sent two aurors for his protection… It's all being kept hushed by Greengrass. He might know something."
James smirked and said, "Even if he does, he is not talking to us… you know for the grey ones are." James then stopped for a second while an idea came to him. "We might be able to get it out of his daughter though."
Sirius looked at James and said, "Vicki is friends with them… she might be able to do it."
"But before we do any of that do we know for sure that it wasn't just a coincidence?" James treaded lightly
"It wasn't… Jonathan defeated that man and conjured a thunderbird made out of cured fire. He is a smart boy. He knows the risk of exposing himself like that… he must have weight the options before he did that. It was no accident."
Again the sense of dread and gloom washed over the two men as they sat there in silence and wondered what kind of altercation did Jonathan gotten himself into and was this related to the dark lord of their past a ghost refusing to haunt them even beyond the grave?

Back again in the Greengrass manor the three girls were getting ready to watch the broadcast of Jon's show and doing their nails.
"So, he's going to come back in a few days. Did the two of you decided what you are going to do?" Tracey asked as she applied a pink nail polish on her fingers.
"What's there to decide… we don't hold the answer here. He does." Daphne said as she looked at the black polish on her nails shimmer in light and smiled, "Does this look good?"
Both looked and replied "Yeah."
Victoria then looked at Tracey and said, "And besides we are sure that it will go great. I mean… come on."
Tracey sucked on her tooth and said, "Yeah… maybe."
Daphne looked at Tracey and then smiled, "It will be idiotic if he doesn't."
"Yeah, but he's got that tendency to do stupid stuff…" Tracey replied and then shook her head and said, "But you are right, I mean he is a guy after all."
They all nodded and then Victoria started the Illusionarium and they waited for the show to start. The stage on America was by the beach and there were a but load of people and it was the time of dusk. So it gave this unbelievable quaint atmosphere.
"What do you think he'll do this time?" Tracey asked as she blowed on her fingers to dry the polish.
"I don't know… but it will be surprising to say the least." Victoria answered
"It should have started by now." Daphne asked.
As she said that Jon walked to the stage wearing a back suite and a silky grey shirt with the top two buttons undone and his hair as wild as it could be.
The three looked in awe of how he looked and Tracey tilted her head and asked, "Is he wearing eye liner?"
The show started and it went like a well oiled machine and everyone at this point was familiar with Jon's pattern but this time he did something out of course. At the near middle of the show. He stopped and said,
"Are you having a great time L.A.?"
They started to chant his name religiously and he chuckled and waved his hand through his hair and said, "Well, I do have a surprise for you."
All of the people there and the people watching were a little confused because the show was no where near it's end and there was still some time left and Jon said, "I have a very special friend with me here today and I convinced her to sing a song or two with me here tonight."
They all cheered and excitement and joy was palpable in the air same can't be said for the three girls watching at home.
"I have a bad feeling." Daphne said to her friends
"Me too." Victoria concorde
"Please give a round of applause for Lizz Allen." Jon said with great enthusiasm as he introduced her. The air was electric. Many of their fans wanted to see them together and it was finally happening in front of their eyes.
While most felt joy and excitement. Two felt agony and sadness. Lizz smiled and waved, "Hey." The crowds cheered at the top of their lungs in anticipation.
"You guys ready?" Lizz said and another cheer was heard coming in waves.
Lizz held up her mic and started to sing
"We were both young when I first saw you"
————————————————————
It wasn't that easy to sit through that song for the two but it ended and Jon went on about the show and they still might be pissed at him but as he had said it was all for the fans. The show ended and the night fell and the stars and moon made their presence known in the clear inky sky above.
Jon took his mic and was walking and said, "You know what time it is?"
The people of L.A. were taken back by it they thought that the performance with Lizz was the surprise that it had ended but no. Jon still had more in store for them.
"It's time to rewrite the starts!" The crowd went nuts when they heard him. Jon took hold of an acoustic guitar and started strumming the notes and he closed his eyes and started his song.
🎶🎵"You know I want you"🎶🎵
The girls at the concert screamed thinking that he was saying this to Lizz and so did the ones sitting in the room. Clutching the pillow so tightly that the stuffing was about to come out of it.
🎶🎵"It's not a secret I try to hide
You know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of a reach from me
But you're hearing my heart
So who can stop me if I decide it's on my destiny?"🎶🎵
🎶🎵What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'll be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one could say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
And maybe the world could be ours, tonight🎶🎵
The music slowed and Lizz came out again singing her verse and crowd was starting to loose their marbles as they saw them together. Jon started to walk towards Lizz and they were close for a minute but that chemistry was just not there. Lizz started to walk away and Jon started following her. It was like a performance of acting.
🎶🎵You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you, yeah
But there are mountains (But there are mountains)
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all🎶🎵
🎶🎵No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you, it's not up to me, yeah
When everyone tells us what we can be
And how can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours, tonight🎶🎵
Jon held her hand and they looked at each other and sang together, they sounded great together but there wasn't that it factor in them together.
🎶🎵All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (It's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible🎶🎵
🎶🎵And how do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
And nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one could say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours🎶🎵
🎶🎵You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied🎶🎵
When the song ended the attendees and the watchers felt it that even though they sounded great together but there wasn't anything beyond what they were on the stage. They all bowed and took to the back stage.
Both of them held the pillow and just hummed and nodded.
—————————————————————-
It was time to leave now everyone was already in the carriage and Jon was just saying goodbyes to Lizz. Even Steven was present to send him off.
"Thank you again." Jon said and instantly received a punch on his arms and Lizz said with a smirk, "I should be the one thanking you."
"Then don't punch me" Jon said jokingly.
Both of them laughed and Jon said, "I had a great time here with you… thank you."
Lizz smiled and nodded, she then grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled him closer and locked lips with him and Jon instantly pulled back and said, "Why the hell does this always happen to me?" Jon stood there with his a baffled expression and so did Steven. It was a good thing the camera crew was inside. But Steven saw them filming it and he went inside to talk to them. But not before throwing a glare at Lizz which was only met with a shrug
"Why?" Jon asked her.
"I felt like it… and I don't think we'll meet all that much and I wanted to confirm it." Lizz answered
"Confirm what?" Jon asked
"That if I actually liked you or not? I don't and you don't as well." Lizz said with a somber smile.
Jon stared at her blankly like he usually does when he thinks. Ed and Steven came out of the carriage and Lizz asked, "Did I break him?"
Ed looked at Jon and said, "No, he's just thinking." Lizz hummed and nodded and he said, "You shouldn't have done that… there are cameras."
Lizz shrugged and said, "If I didn't then I would have never known and would regret it…"
"So if you liked me and I liked you… what would you have done?" Jon asked as he came out of a comatose
"I would have done everything in my power to be with you… I don't want to leave you and regret it because life's short." Lizz said with a smile that was neither happy or sad. It was of acceptance and so did Jon.
"Thank you… you just made it clear to me." Jon said to her and then they both just nodded lightly. Jon and Ed started to walk to the Carriage and Ed said to him "Really… I talked to you pored my heart and soul to you trying to make you understand and kiss is what made you realize it?"
Jon just shrugged and Ed groaned and said, "Unbelievable… you really hurt me."
They both went inside the carriage and they took off yet Lizz stood there watching him leave and Steven said, "First love never works out… kid." He patted her head and she shedded some tears for her first love.
