[Sweet:Revenge...]{OPEN}[...It:HURTS]

[James Sirius Potter]

James didnt notice Lily at all he looked towards Zane watching his curses wondering whether they would hit him. He suddenly noticed Lily run out in the middle of the duel and frowned. His frown deepened as he saw his own curses hit his sister and felt really guilty. He wanted to run out to her, but thought that Zane should first.

[Zane Lestrange]

Suddenly everything changed. One minute he was duelling a seemingly invisible anonymous person and the next Lily was stood in between him and the bushes. As soon as he saw her he stopped sending curses, after all he didn't want to run the risk of hitting Lily. After dodging the second punch curse that had just skimmed the top of his head, Zane ran over to Lily. He embraced her, the anger ebbing away slowly. "Are you alright?"

[Lily Potter]

Lily felt Zane wrap her into a warm embrace. A heart stopping, loving embrace. She smiled, haappy that he cared so much. She was even hurt, but he had come to make sure. She laughed softly, kissing the bridge of her nose. "Of course I'm alright. Well, I better than my brother will be.. James, would you mind coming out here?" she asked, her anger begining to boil again. She had a bone to pick with her brother, a quick slap to his chek would serve him right.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

James saw Zane run to ner and knew that she would tell him soon. He saw Zane hug and kiss her. Lily looked ok which was a plus. However by the tone of her voice he knew she was furious. He took a deep breath and walked out towards her slowly like a person to gallows.

[Lily Potter]

Lily saw her brother step out into the small clearing. Her anger spilled over the top as she saw him. Giving Zane one last peck on the cheek, she stood, arms across her chest. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she walked over to him. "Give me one damn reason I shouldn't beat the hell out od you, James. I have never seen you act like such a bloody prat. Now, come on, give me that reason, ecause I've been wanting a good fight lately." she hissed, her voice low.

[Zane Lestrange]

When he saw James emerge from the bushes, Zane took a step back. So I've been duelling him? I'm glad I didn't send him anything dangerous then, wait, what am I saying? I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to be within a mile of him. He hurt Lily though, I have to stay. Zane just remained standing where he was, fighting the urge to run away or go and punch James for hurting Lily.

[James Sirius Potter]

James saw Zane take a step back finally realiseing who he had been duelling. He looked like he was going to punch him for hurting Lils. He frowned walking towards Lily. "I'm sorry Lils. I had cast my spells before I saw you intervene." he said truthfully. He was angry at Zane for saying all those things before so tried to ignore him.

[Lily Potter]

Lily scowled, pulling down her shirt at the top so her brother could see the darkening spot on her chest. "Even if you didn't mean too, you shouldn't have done anything like that! Those damn things hurt!" she hissed, pulling her shirt back up. "You know I bruise easily!" She was still fighting the urge to slap her brother as hard as she could, it wasn't easy mind you. "Now, tell me again why I shouldn't kill you for doing that?" she whispered, her voice deadly.

[James Sirius Potter]

When James saw the bruise he scowled. "I am so sorry. As I said before. I had already cast the curses before I saw you run in so the blame can't lie on me. That's my excuse." he said slowly knowing she won't think this a good enough excuse "And also I don't think you should kill me this close to the first task." he added slyly.

[Lily Potter]

Lily scowled, wishing she could beat the shit out of her brother. "Excuses, excuses. I don't care. You said that Zane was your friend? Why were you attacking him? Sure he probably sent his first, but you should have blocked them and showed yourself. Do you really think Zane wanted to duel you? I think not." she said, pushing him softly, her features sharpened in anger.

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane went to stand by Lily, not saying a word to James. He looked up just as James said the words, And also I don't think you should kill me this close to the first task. Not really thinking about what he was doing, Zane stepped forward and punched James hard in the jaw. "We're even now," he said quietly. Of course he hadn't wanted to duel James. He just wanted to get as far away as possible, but it seemed as though his wish wouldn't be granted today.

[James Sirius Potter]

James watched as Zane didn't say anything to him and scowled. He suddenly saw Zane's fist right in his face and took a step back putting a hand to his jaw "not broken, good." he thought feeling it. He scowled glaring back at Zane "What the bloody hell is with you Zane!" he said angrily. Suddenly he lost it and rugby tackled Zane to the ground.

[Zane Lestrange]

"Nothing at all, just a return punch for the one you gave me earlier," Zane managed to say before James rugby tackled him to the ground. He flinched slightly as his head hit the ground hard. He didn't bother fighting back, there wasn't much he could do anyway. James knew most of Zane's moves for getting out of situations like this, like the wrist twist, so that wouldn't work here. "Get off me James," he said, wishing he had a free hand so he could punch James again.

[James Sirius Potter]

James scowled at the lack of fight that Zane had at that point. He waited pinning down both of Zane's hands preventing him from doing any of his signiture fighting moves. He scoffed as Zane talked about the punch "You bloody deserved that. You completly freaked us all out earlier." he said. He wanted to say "and you really hurt my feelings" but it sounded too girly

[Zane Lestrange]

"I didn't bloody deserve that, as you so put it," Zane said once more, trying to push James away. "I just said everything that was on my mind, that I kept inside for all this time, and it'll esaily happen again if you don't get off me this second," he said twisting his wrists so that hopefully he could slip through James' grip.
