Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: Just realised that this drabble collection is rather Lily centred. Oops :P
"Jamie!" Lily screamed, running up to her older brother. James had been sitting under the tree with some other first years and although was slightly embarrassed, ran to his sister and hugged her. Sensing a family reunion, James's friends headed back up to the castle, only to stop in awe of Harry and Ginny Potter, as well as various other Weasley members.
"Lil!" James said, as his little sister clung onto him tightly. He knew she had missed him, as his mother had sent him many letters detailing how upset she was. "Broke my favourite mug," Ginny had written, miffed.
"Jamie, you have to come home," Lily said, pouting. James laughed, ruffling her hair.
"But I like it here Lily flower," he said and Lily crossed her arms and glared.
"But Albus misses you too. And who else will play dress up with me?" Lily said and James looked around, making sure none of his family or friends were around. Some things needed to be kept confidential.
"I miss you and Albus too, but I love Hogwarts. You'll love it too, I promise," James said and Lily looked at him thoughtfully.
"Pinky promise on the Marauder's lives?"
James looked at her uncomfortably. "Uh, Lil, they're all dead…"
She frowned. "On mummy and daddy then."
James laughed, promising her on the Boy who Lived and Ginny Weasley, the Holyhead Harpies player who dominated the previous ten years of Quidditch lives. Appeased, Lily began babbling on about events at home and James listened, a wide grin etched on his face. He'd never admit it, but he missed his family.
