LILY
“I believe this calls for a test. You move out of the flat and go live with Potter for a few weeks and we’ll see.” Laughter bubbled from her lips, shaking her head in amusement. “Oh baby, that’s because she had a crush on you. And she hated me. I remember she kicked me out of the bathroom once because she said I had no right to be there.” And back then they were friends only, but she supposed the ghost saw something they didn’t. “I’m not trying to convince you. But I guess we just had to agree to disagree.” It didn’t matter, not really, because Severus thought she was dead and he didn’t like Felicity that much. Hell, some days even Lily herself didn’t like Felicity at all. It was for the best if they avoided a fight and simply didn’t talk about him. “For way too long, it seems. But I’m still here, so it means you must be doing something right. It’s a surprise and you can’t see it yet.” She smiled and looked at him, as waiting for him to decide whether he had missed her or not, already knowing the real answer. “Not sure? When you sleep on the couch tonight, I want you to ask yourself again.”
“You do realise that he’ll never let me leave if I move in with him, right? He’s been on a right sulk! You can kiss this face goodbye, Lils.” He grimaced. “Sadly for ol’ Myrtle, I’ve never been into the non-corporeal. I prefer my partners to have a pulse.” She really was a character. “She said that you had no right? Tragic.” Sirius chuckled. “Clearly. Well, we can rule out you being with me for my money, so it must be my winning personality. Either that or you think me handsome.” Sirius had always been far too inpatient and impulsive for surprises. “Not fair. Not fair at all. Are you sure that I can’t see it yet? Can I persuade you?” The couch? Oh no, that would not do at all. “You know I did. I’ve been absolutely miserable without you today. And I’m not sleeping on the couch - I refuse. I’ll use a sticking charm to keep myself in bed if I have to.”
