Author's Note: This is continued on from the last chapter, Spinning.12. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
The last time he saw her, he thinks, it was raining.
He thinks that if it had been any other person, any other year, that the sun would have come out to shine brightly on the last day of school. Symbolic for those optimistic young people, leaving school to join the real world.
But they had always been different.
It had rained that day, despite it being the end of June. Almost as if the skies were weeping because they knew of their upcoming parting.
It's raining today.
Six months later, and still all he can think about is her. A flash of red, a glimmer of green, a rain shower, and Lily Evans invades his mind.
He sips his coffee and tries to concentrate on his book.
The door to the café jingles and cold air swarms in. He looks up momentarily, distracted.
He jolts in shock and suddenly his head are filled with images from what seems like a lifetime ago. A warm hug. A laugh. A fight. A ghost of a smile as she says goodbye.
She's here.
