Lily turned and ran with all her might. "Lily!" screamed Mrs. Potter, James and Lily's Mum all at the same time. They started running after her, but both mothers had to stop because they were either unfit or wearing heals or both. James was catching Lily fairly quickly being really good at sports because of his height.
"Hey! Watch it!!" came a yell from a boy around James' age. James had tripped over falling onto the boy causing both of them to fall head over heals onto the hard ground. All James did was keep on running, accidentally trodding on the poor kid in the process. The boy kid got up and ran after James who was running after Lily who was running like her life depended on it.
Meanwhile Lily was slowing down because she was puffed and stuffed. She collapsed into an alleyway with one guy talking to another guy that looked like the same age. Lily started listening to their conversation while trying to catch her breath and keep that lump in her throat down.
"Hey Remus, how are you? Said the short one.
"Me Mum and I are okay but me Dad has left again," the second boy answered "Mum has been expecting it to happen for ages."
He continued talking but Lily wasn't listening, she had burst into tears forgetting about everything but her father, wishing that he was there to say that everything was going to be okay. To hug her and make her happy again. Those days were gone she then realized.
Just then James had found her, closely followed by the kid he had tripped. James took Lily into a protective hug and started stoking her hair trying to comfort her silent crying. Also that was a new shirt so he didn't want tear marks all over it. Lily's heart leapt. Her first thought was that her father was back but soon recognized it was James. Her heart then took a dived head first straight into the deep end. She squeezed his shoulders with anger.
James noticed that three people were looking at him and Lily with looks that said "Get a room". He pointed to Lily with his spare hand and then made the crying sign with it. The shortest kids mouthed 'Oh' and left dragging the one that was chatting to with him. The other little wizard now with a bruise on his leg and scratches on his elbows, took the hint and made tracks with the other two. James continued to comfort her while her tears slowed down. When she had stopped except for the occasional hiccup he said "Tell me all about it, Lil."
