“What do you have to lose?” Charity asked, a half smile on her lips. “Come on, we’ll pick up some beignets or whatever and you can at least try to talk things out!”
“You clearly don’t know my sister,” Lily sighed. “But I guess it’s worth a shot.”

Andromeda nodded, knowing the peacemaking strategy well. “Little that can’t be solved with pastry.”
“No, no it’s no worry,” she was quick to assure. The woman’s purpose was greater than hers. Brown eyes cast about the display for alternatives. “Do you have any recommendations? That apple cake looks promising.”
“Are you sure? I’m not even sure this will work.” Lily sighed. “Seems nothing I do will work.”

Tell Me No Lies | Open
Andromeda held onto her cup of coffee like a lifeline. It had been a long shift and she hadn’t been able to shake the unease she had been feeling since learning of the disappearance of their former Minister for Magic. The breaking news was inescapable. It was all anyone could talk about but for all the conjecture about where Eugenia Jenkins had gone and what it meant, few actual facts were known. Another missing person in what was rapidly becoming a sea of them and coupled with reports of Inferi. It unsettled Andromeda more than she dared admit, for that way lay near paralyzing fear for Ted and their family.
Raising the cup to her lips, Andromeda let the liquid warm her from the inside. This cozy coffee house and a cup of her favorite brew were better than any potion or tonic found at St. Mungo’s. It might not solve her problems but it made the unreal events around her melt away for a time and that’s all she wanted. She didn’t want to bring her fears home and trouble the happiness there.
The minutes passed by undisturbed and soothing and eventually her cup emptied. Andromeda rose and returned to the counter, prepared to pick up a pastry or two to bring home for Ted. There was a person in front of her but she patiently waited, mentally choosing her selections. When she saw her choices being bagged for the person in front of her though, Andromeda let out an involuntary, “Oh!” Quick to cover her unfortunate show of dismay she continued. “Brilliant choice. No one makes them better than they do here.”
“Thanks,” said Lily. “I’m hoping they will make a good peace offering.” She looked over at the other woman. “Oh, were you hoping to get these?”
char-shine:
“Okay…” Charity said simply, taking a few seconds contemplating on the words she was about to say. But then again, she was never one to hold herself back. “Get up.” she said as she did the same, conviction colouring her voice. “We’re going to her place.”
“What? Now?” Lily was startled, but got up any way. “Uh...I’m not sure this is a good idea.”
noir-marauder:
“I should have gone back to help him when i was safe at James’ house, or when i got back at Hogwarts after i left, i could have reason with him without the influence of our parents.” sighed Sirius deeply.
“You’re just determined to blame yourself,” Lily said, shaking her head.
char-shine:
“Well, when did you last talk to her?” asked Charity in hopes that maybe she could find a way to make Lily feel better. If she had enough information about what was bothering her, maybe she’d manage to be of some help.
“At her wedding,” sighed Lily. “That was last year, but I have been trying to speak to her ever since, but she never answers.”
char-shine:
“It’s only natural that you do, especially when there are moments you’d want to share with them.” Charity tried to comfort her. “But I think that you should not take the happiness away from you. Honour them by living life to the fullest.”
“I’m trying. I just...my sister isn’t talking to me. And without her...you’d think losing parents would bring sisters closer together.”
I know people think Gryffindor is boring and overrated because they “hog all the attention” in HP.
But don’t be discouraged, little lion
courage, motivation, confidence, hope, determination, bravery…
Make you just as special.

Charity couldn’t exactly relate; her own parents were alive and quite loving, she never had to do anything without them. But she had also come to realise the important of the family one would chose to have. “I won’t tell you that I can understand even a fraction of what you’re going through.” she started softly and her hand reached out to Lily’s, in an attempt to comfort her. “But I can tell you that the people around you are just as important. Friends have a funny way of being there and understanding better than most families I know.”
“I know,” said Lily, “and I’ve been more than blessed in that regard. I just...miss them.”
noir-marauder:
“Well now I understand that one of the things that would be best for me, was to also protect him” Sirius took a long pause “I guess i have to live with that mistake, it isn’t the first one and i’m sure won’t be the last one” Sirius sighed.
“How could you protect him if you couldn’t protect yourself first?” Lily pressed.
char-shine:
Charity took Lily’s words into account and studied her face. “You look… strange.” she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong exactly, but she could feel something a bit off. She couldn’t pretend like she knew the first thing about relationships, let alone marriage, but she was sure that she shouldn’t have this feeling. “Is everything really okay?” she tried to be as gentle as possible, tried to not ask if she were ready instead.
Lily hesitated. “I don’t know if you heard...I lost my parents...just after you graduated, I think.” She blinked back tears. “It’s been hard. Planning all this without them. Being without them.”
noir-marauder:
Sirius sighed, “I know Lil’ and that’s what i feel.” he took a long pause “I just think that Regulus’ reason is that he thinks that when i left the house i left him too. Maybe I did and I’m too stubborn to admit it. After all I’m the reason that our relationship is like that, not his beliefs. I brought this on myself and that’s worse than him not agreeing and despising me for the reason that my parents did”
“Hey, don’t you start blaming yourself, Sirius,” Lily chided. “How were you supposed to stay in that house? Huh? Sometimes...sometimes you have to do what’s best for you.”

Marlene got up from her spot, moving to practically sit in Lily’s lap, though not just quite. She reached out, playing with Lily’s hair, something she’d done for years, it was a way of Marlene showing affection and comfort to her friends. She was a tactile being after all. She listened as Lily spoke, not interjecting until she was done. Marlene knew how jarring it could be to be tryign to express yourself and losing your train of thought through interjections. Finally, she nodded her head. “That’s all valid, Lils,” she said softly. Sometimes, it was helpful to know that you weren’t crazy for thinking and feeling specific things. Sometimes, that was a big part of the internal battle. “As for your age…well, yes, it’s young. But love doesn’t wait for y’ t’ turn twenty-five. It hits y’ when it hits y’, and…everyone who got married older, well, they have the privilege of not havin’ to decide that in the midst of a war,” she pointed out. “I think, and I appreciate that I’m not speakin’ from any level of expertise or knowledge, I haven’t ever felt about someone how y’ and James feel– but… if y’ see y’rself spending your life with him, growing together, havin’ adventures, then who cares if it’s at nineteen, or ninety?” she asked. She leaned forward, scooping Lily into a hug. “If she wants t’ miss one of the biggest days of her sister’s life, than she doesn’t deserve to be there and share in y’ happiness,” Marlene stated. “I know it’s not the same, but I’ll be there, and…I’ve weazled my way int’ bein’ family,” she murmured softly. She exhaled softly. “I get it, I’ll never get over the fact that Max won’t be there if by some miracle I get married one day, nothin’ will ever make that right. Just like, nothin’ will make up for your parents not bein’ there,” she expressed. “But y’ created a little family of your own with us all, so please don’t think you’ll be alone, your family will be there,” she promised her. “And I bet your ma’ and da’ will be beaming from wherever they are now,” she added.
“S’pose I’m sayin’, it’ll never be right without them, but they’d want y’ to be happy,”
“I know,” Lily sniffed. “It’s just...I miss them so much...”
char-shine:
“Um… everything?” Charity asked, but realised the vagueness of the question. “It’s James, right?” without waiting for an answer she continued. “When, how? Was it magical? How are you feeling?”
“Yes, James,” said Lily. “When, right after my birthday. And yes, it was magical. Unexpected, but magical. And as for how I’m feeling...” she sighed. “Excited, nervous, overwhelmed...the works.”
char-shine:
“Of course!” Charity said, her smile indelible as she waited for Lily by the door of the cramped bookstore. The two girls were never really close; the redhead, although younger, was someone Charity admired during her time at Hogwarts. Her courage and the way she was never afraid to speak her mind were just a few of Lily’s qualities that made Charity want to be close to her, be more like her. And she tried, though the results were not always as gracious or as positive as Lily’s. Those things were part of who she was and that showed in how effortless she made them seem.
She always looked to put together, like everything was always perfect. Realistically, Charity knew that this couldn’t be the case, but she couldn’t help but feel a hint of envy: there she was, barely out of Hogwarts, with the job of her dreams all lined up and someone to share that with. She always seemed so mature and put together, armed with the right thing to say or do at the right time. The blonde could only hope to not make a fool of herself in front of her.
Soon enough, she saw Lily finishing up with her purchase. At that moment, she remembered that she never really did buy a new notebook. But her friend, if she dared to call Lily that, was more important, so she just made a mental note of coming back another time. Charity opened the door and held it open. “So, shall we?” she asked Lily from the end of the store, her eyes darting to the exit.
Lily followed Charity from the store and together they headed toward the Leaky Caldron. Once they had gotten their butterbeers, Lily sat down at one of the tables and took a sip. “So...what do you want to know?”
noir-marauder:
Sirius sighed listening to Lily. She was right, he knew that. It was Regulus’ choice, he was his own person and he deserved being able to choose. If he truly wants to be a part of all of that, then he will accept it; it isn’t his place after all, he lost that when he left him all those years ago. What bugged him was the fear that our parents pressured him to join. That’s what he tried to understand when he had the conversation with him. After all, maybe the answer was in front of him but Sirius was too stubborn to admit it. To admit that Regulus really believed in the cause. Maybe Regulus wasn’t any more the boy he knew before he left.
“You are right Lily, i just hope that it’s truly his choice and not our mother’s and father’s choice..” he paused furrowing his eyebrows and added “I think i can live with that; knowing that it is what he really wants, even if it pains me, i lost the right to console him the moment i walked out on him”
“I guess only time will tell,” said Lily, “but, Sirius, just because you two no longer live under the same roof, it doesn’t mean that you’re no longer brothers. Being a sibling is a life long thing. Even if...” she sighed, “even if our brothers or sisters may not want us to be.”
msmckinnxn:
Marlene’s brows furrowed slightly. Without a beat, she chewed on her bottom lip. She shuffled so that she was sat more alert and facing Lily more so. “Lils,” she said softly. “What do y’ mean?” she asked. “Can y’…tell me more? So I can…understand?” she asked. Marlene would try to understand the greatest mysteries of the world, if it meant it would help Lily. She thought back to her own answer; sure, and I’m gettin’ by. That didn’t exactly scream happy either did it?
“It’s just...this whole wedding thing...” said Lily. “Don’t get me wrong, I love James, it’s just...we’re not even nineteen. Don’t you think we’re a little young to be rushing into this? And...” she swallowed. “Who from my family is even going to come? Petunia’s not talking to me and my parents...” her lower lip trembled and tears started to spill from her eyes. “My parents are gone. My father can’t walk me down the aisle and my mother can’t help me pick out a dress.”
