"Oh my gosh, Lily I'm so sorry!" Lily's friend, Charlie, exclaimed.
"It's not your fault." Lily mumbled.
Charlie put her arms around Lily and let her sob into her shoulder.
"My parents warned me her condition wasn't getting any better but this was just so unexpected!"
"I know Lily, I know. You remember when my dad died right? That was totally unexpected for me too!"
"At least you got to say goodbye. I didn't even get to see my grandma before she died!" Lily wailed.
"It's ok, hon, it's ok." Charlie comforted.
"No it's not! She was one of the only adults I could talk to! Now what am I going to do?"
"I'm here, don't worry." Charlie said.
During the next few weeks, Lily tried to act like nothing had happened. She failed miserably, almost everyone could tell something was wrong and people constantly questioned her about it. Lily replied every time that she was just sleep deprived and would feel better soon enough. For Lily's sake, Charlie told all the teachers what happened. Now Lily had an excuse not to do the gruesome assignments that were handed out that week.
It seemed the only thing to keep Lily going were the fact of knowing she had friends at Hogwarts. Lily tried her best to keep everything normal, she needed the little things that happened everyday to continue to happen. Those small events included James Potter trying to flirt with her ten times daily. Lily noticed though that James hadn't even looked at her since the night out at the grounds. Overall that seemed like an incredibly good thing, the last thing Lily needed right now was James Potter following her around.
After Lily got over the shock of her grandma's death, she started to feel a little better. Charlie even noticed that Lily was back to some of her usual ways, like doing homework for example. What really amazed Charlie is that Lily even completed the homework from the week she didn't have to do it! Charlie knew Lily loved to get good grades but she wasn't that much into school where she'd do homework when she didn't have to. Maybe Lily still needed to get her mind off of things.
"Whatever works." Charlie muttered to herself.
