Beat. Beat.

Each raindrop reminded me of something.

Beat. Beat.

Something funny. Something lovely. Something... wonderful.

Beat. Beat.

I love the rain. Always did. Always will.

Beat. Beat.

I love dancing in it. The raindrops hitting my head ever so lightly.

Beat. Beat.

Everything disappears when I'm in the rain.

Beat. Beat.

All my worries, sorrows, thoughts are washed away from the rain.

Beat. Beat.

I count the raindrops.

Beat. Beat. Beat.

One... Two... Three.

Beat. Beat.

I have to hurry before it's gone.

Beat.

Run. Run faster. I have to get outside.

Beat. Beat.

Don't go rain. Stay. Don't go away.

Beat. Beat. Beat.

Yes. The rain's coming back.

Beat. Beat.

Ah. How it drops on my face.

Beat. Beat.

Everything is gone. I'm here all alone. Alone with the rain.

Beat. Beat. Beat.

Wait, who's there? I can see someone coming.

Beat. Beat.

But I don't care. I just want it to last. The rain to last.

Beat.

The figure's coming closer. And the rain's stopping.

Beat.

The last beat. The last drop. I'm back to reality. I can feel someone behind me, and turn around. In front of me is James. James Harold Potter. But I don't scream. Or yell. Or care. He smiles down at me with his sparkling hazel eyes. I lose all sense and smile back.

"Hello, James." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck.

Beat. Beat.

Looking up, I see the rain coming back. I close my eyes and laugh. James stands there and stares at me. But I don't scream. Or yell. Or care.

Beat. Beat.

"Lily? What are you doing out here in the rain?" he asks, laughing along. I just grin.

"Why wouldn't you be out here? It's raining. I love the rain. I love dancing in it." I spin around and continue dancing and laughing and enjoying myself.

Beat. Beat.

I spin until I end up in James' arms. But I don't yell. Or scream. Or yell.

"And I love you. Can I be your rain?" he asks gently.

Beat. Beat.

His eyes are boring into mine. And even in the rain, my sense is coming back to me. I put an arm around his neck and spin again.

Beat. Beat. Beat.

"Of course you can be my rain. And I want to be yours." I whisper and kiss him in the rain. He was my rain. And I was his.

Beat. Beat.
