Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter including James, Lily, or Sirius. I'll be posting these on my tumblr—or trying to—everyday until the third of November (Sirius Birthday) in honor of Sirius and Jilytober.

I have not given up on Before He Lived, but I do have a bunch of essays to write which means it's still a Work in Progress. I do have an AU that will be posted a few days from now (it's written, I just have to type and revise it).

My Tumblr for this account is siriuslysnuffles if you're interested in following me. It's a secondary blog, so I can't actually follow any of you (sorry?)

'You love him?' he asked her in disbelief.

'Yes,' her eyes held the tears of regret she'd been feeling since the night before.

'Does he know?'

'No,' she laughed bitterly. 'I don't think he'd care at this point.'

'He loves you too,' the boy admitted, 'he just might not realise it yet.'

'I'm not sure he does, Sirius.' Her voice held a certain vulnerability that had once been saved for another dark-haired boy. 'And that might break me.'

'James loves you, Lily,' he said with a tone of finality. 'You just have to show him you love him too.'

AN: Feel free to send me request for these in replies or in the asks on siriuslysnuffles (my ff tumblr). Feed back appreciated.
