When Lily piles her auburn locks into a messy side pony-tail and walks around like that for the rest of the day, she should look ridiculous (and maybe she does). But you don't say anything, because she is beautiful, still. Always beautiful, still, even when her hairstyle rivals that of an Azkaban escapee.
When she kisses you, her lips are chapped and her eyes are narrowed, and she chooses overlooked places, such as the space between your eyebrows or the bridge of your nose. But you don't say anything, because she is beautiful, still. Always beautiful, still, even when she purposely misses your lips by inches that feel like a yawning chasm.
When she defends you from Potter and his gang and you call her a Mudblood, her eyes flash and her teeth clench and she looks like she has half a mind to curse you herself. But then she doesn't; she walks away from you.
And you don't say anything, and she is beautiful, still. Always beautiful, still. Except this time, you are finally seeing why.
