I watched as he smiled and turned away, happy about the fact that I was dead, well at least he thought so.
10 Years Later
I rolled over and felt the stiff cold sheets of the bed beside me, I miss Lily so much these days, I wake up every morning and the beds cold, well most mornings.
"Dad, Alice feed the owl marshmallows again!" My eleven year old son Harry called from his bedroom.
"Did not, the owl stole it from me" Alice my ten year old daughter retorted from the kitchen.
"Okay, Okay I am getting up" I rolled out of bed, slipped my slippers on and headed down for the kitchen, passing my son's bedroom on the way.
"Harry, you need to clean this room up, before tomorrow, when we meet Sirius, Remus and Arthur at the leaky caldron, or else, you're going to have to wait another week to get your school supplies and owl"
"Yes, Dad. Can I have breakfast before I start?" Harry asked as he put his letter from Hermione away.
"Yes you may" I turned from my son's room and walked down stairs, and spotted Alice at the table reading her letter from Sirius son, Frank.
"Good morning Princess, did u sleep well?"
"Morning Daddy, yes I did, I dreamed I was flying on a broom above Pairs-
"Yeah, with Frank, "oh Frank I love you so much" Harry said as he grabbed the coco pops out of the cupboard
"Well at least I don't read my letters from Frank five times a day like you read Hermione's" Alice snapped back; so much like her mother that one.
"Children enough please; can't we just have a normal breakfast?" I asked as I looked each of my children in the eye.
"Yes dad" Harry and Alice replied in unison.
"Now, Alice was there any mail for me?" I asked one Alice finished eating
"Um, yes there is a letter here from Hogwarts and one with no name" Alice replied handing them to me.
"Thank you baby" I replied as I opened the letter from Hogwarts, which was written in a script I know all too well.
My dearest James,
How are you doing at home with those children of ours? I hope Harry is ready for school this term I can't wait to see him at the sorting ceremony, let's hope he is in Gryffindor. How did Alice go at the dentist yesterday? She said something about having to get braces in a few years.
James I have just found out from Moony that Tonks is pregnant and so he is taking next year off and probably won't be back for another couple of years, so stating next year the defence against the dark arts position will be vacant and so you can if you want come and work here until Moony can come back. Let me know what you think, we will talk about it more at Christmas.
Send Harry and Alice my love and don't forget to remind Ali she will get an Owl next year
Lots of love
Lily
p.s
I will be at Hogsmeade on Saturday; I will meet you at the three Broomsticks
"Who was the letter from Daddy?" Alice asked as I put Lily's letter away.
"Your mother sweetie, she says that we have to meet her at Hogsmeade on Saturday, she wants to make sure your both still alive"
"Ha ha Dad, very funny. Are we really meeting mum?" Harry asked
"Yes, Harry we are and so you better get a move on and clean your room up, we can go to Diagon Ally, today and get your school supplies"
"Yes! I will be done in a jiffy" Harry ran off up stairs to clean his room
"Harry?"
"Yes dad"
"Do it the Muggle way please" I heard Harry groan, and begin cleaning his room up.
"Alice?"
"Yes daddy?"
"Would you like to go and visit Ginny today?"
"Yes, Daddy I would"
"Okay then you better go and get the phone for me".
