Lydia had no idea why James had brought her to the deserted alleyway, no idea why he had introduced her to Lily Evans, no idea why she decided to follow him there at all…
Her first thought when she laid her eyes upon Lily Evans was about how much they looked alike. It was almost as if she was staring into a mirror. They both had curls of waist-length, auburn hair gracefully covering their bare, pale shoulders, with piercing emerald green eyes illuminating their faces. The most prominent difference between the two, perhaps, was their height, where Lydia was maybe a couple of fingers shorter than Lily. Her nose was also slightly more small and curved.
Her second thought after looking at Lily was that she was so obviously, so inevitably pregnant.
"You found her, then?" Lily asked James after placing a small, protective peck on his lips once all the necessary introductions had been made.
James shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, it wasn't hard." he stated. "I mean, when Albus said 'she resembles much our very own Miss Evans', I wasn't expecting her to be the spitting image of you, love, of course not. But one glance in that small café and I knew Lydia Evans had to be her. She's as pretty and clever as you; guessed about the Statue of Secrecy and everything!"
"How… enchanting." murmured Lily with an unenthusiastic tone, sternly eyeing her copy on legs.
"Um, excuse me?" interrupted Lydia politely. She did not believe she could keep her mouth shut for any time longer than she had already done. "I'm sorry, but my name is Lydia O'Brian. Not Evans. Maybe you have the wrong person here?"
The newly formed silence between the three silhouettes standing in the middle of the deserted alleyway grew as Lily bit her lower lip and James scratched his head, both uncertain of how to best address Lydia's question. Not long after that, another figure, unfamiliar to Lydia, with dark, ruffled hair and bright grey eyes emerged out of nowhere, holding a shiny, sleek cloak in both hands. Lydia, who was too sure the man hadn't been there three seconds ago, momentarily screamed at the top of her lungs with shock and fear at his unexpected apprearance from nothingness.
"So?" Sirius Black addressed his two pals without feeling the need to respond to the Muggle girl's bewildered reaction. "You want to tell her that her whole life has been a lie, or shall I?"
