Thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground..--- February 2017---

I hugged Lily and when she left I sat back down and put my face in my hands.  This was a horrible situation and now I knew that James practically hated me at the moment -- which I hoped that it would subside.  I wondered if I would want to rethink my position as Headmaster.  I did not want to lose my best mate over this.

We had finished dealing with Dorian and I was walking out with Pansy.  We were discussing what was going on and what had happened.  I was displeased beyond explanation at my son.  "I cannot believe what he did... I don't know what to do with him," I said, shaking my head.

Pansy looked at me and scoffed.  "I am just extremely disappointed in him... he would dirty himself with a traitorous mudblooded mix like Potter," she said in almost a snarl.

We were headed for the tower as we passed the intercepting corridor to where the Malfoys were. Sadly, I overheard what they said. I lost my patience completely. I saw red, I clutched James' hand hard, then letting go I walked towards the Malfoys. " Dirty himself!? You condone this!!? The thing you say is he dirtied himself with that word..." I was shaking I was so angry. I had held a lot in and now it was coming free. " How dare you say something like that to my daughter. I warn you now Malfoy. Take me on if you want...talk about my daughter and I will end you." I finished venomously. I had not been this angry in a while.

I put a hand on Pansy's elbow.  Things had been tough with the two of us, but I still did not want her to take the Potters on.  I knew they both had wicked tempers.  "Watch yourself," I said, warning both of our wives.  I held tightly onto pansy's arm, knowing that my wife would hold nothing back.

I put a hand on Lily's shoulder, it would not be wise for her to lose her temper right now.  I saw that Lyla was in tears.  I turned to look at her.  "Go to the Tower and pack a bag... Go on... We'll handle this," I told her.  I did not want Lyla to have to listen to any of this.

" Watch yourself...I mean every word I say. " I warned I was not stepping down. No matter what, their son did this to my daughter. I was not taking this crap. Still shaking, I needed to take Lyla home. I heard JAmes send her to the tower ahead of us. Glad he did that, I didn't want her to see this. " Do not use that word again in my daughter's presence. " I said darkly.

Pansy took a step forward and smirked.  "Good thing she's no longer here, then, isn't it, Mudblood?" she sneered.

I did not want to have to deal with this.  I pulled Pansy back, my hand still having been on her elbow.  "Enough," I said quietly, but fiercely.  There was enough going on at the moment.  We did not need to add to it.

I knew how to defend myself, pity on her I didn't need magic. I took a step forward and slammed my head as hard as I could muster into hers. Smirking slightly at the look of blood on her face. Apparently I had startled everyone. I would be perfectly okay with getting Lyla now. It was worth the bump that would appear on my forehead.

"Lily!" I said, completely startled.  I pulled her away from the Malfoys.  If I was not allowed to punch Remus in the face, she was not allowed to attack them.  "Go find our daughter.  Now," I said, feeling bad for being bosy towards her, but knowing it had to be done.

I shrugged James off of me, nodding at him. I walked off towards the Gryffindor tower to find Lyla. To get us home because apparently I had surprised everyone including myself. I had got to the spiral staircase quite quickly. Walking up, I looked at the portrait, " My daughter's in their please."

Pansy fought against me to go after the Potters.  "You bitch!" she shouted after the red head.  I knew that was not going to end well with anything.  I nearly drug Pansy away from them, knowing that if we did not separate the two quickly, thing would escalate even more so than they already have.
