ended up here: closed for emma vanity
Lily was looking for Sirius. Really, Lily was looking for James, but where one could be found the other was often nearby. There was no urgency in her search, she was just bored, and more than a little lonely, puttering around her apartment on her day off. So she made her way to Remus and Sirius’ apartment, figuring that if she didn’t find the boys there at once, she could always wait and they would return there eventually.
She was a little disappointed when no one answered her knock at the door, but she wasn’t deterred. Lily had a key to most of her friends’ apartments, and Remus and Sirius’ had been one of the first she’d collected. So she let herself in and, after picking out one of Remus’ books to skim, settled onto the couch to wait. It was somehow less lonely being alone in Remus and Sirius’ apartment than in her own. There was a promise of company in the air, even though no one else was around.
The promise was fulfilled sooner than Lily expected when she heard a knock at the door. For a moment she debated whether she should answer someone else’s door, but eventually she decided that she should at least tell whoever it was that neither Sirius nor Remus were in.The person at the door knocked a second time just as Lily was coming to a decision, solidifying her choice. “Just a mo’,” she called as she marked her place in her book. She opened the door to see none other than Emma Vanity, hand raised to knock a third time.
“Hello Emma, Remus is out.” Lily didn’t bother to mention that Sirius wasn’t in either, she knew Remus was the only person Emma would be here to see.
