They got off the bus together at James' home at Godric's Hollow. Lily looked around; it was a peaceful little neighborhood with houses lined down the street with the outside lamps lit. James unlocked the door and the stepped inside. It was rather empty, it seemed more of a bachelor's pad than the quaint little home at the beginning of the street. There were still unopened boxes surrounding the door, the kitchen was barely visible but what was seen was amazingly sloppy. The living room was covered in empty plates and goblets.
"Sirius' room is upstairs to the right, mine's on the left. He's not here tonight; his room is a horrible wreck. You can have mine tonight, I'll clear out the spare room for you tomorrow." James said softly as if there were someone sleeping in the house.
"Thank you, James..." She said as she made her way to the stairs.
"Don't mention it, Lil." He said with a smirk as he watched her ascend the Staircase to find the room she'd be staying in for the night.
When she reached the room on the left it was a little cleaner than the rest of the house. The only things that really made it look remotely dirty was the pile of unlaundered clothes in a basket by the closet and a bunch of papers scattered on the floor. She made her way to the bed, laid down, kicked off her shoes, and fell asleep instantly.
James came up about thirty minutes later, after tidying up a bit downstairs, to find her fast asleep. He covered her up and kissed her forehead.
"G'night, Lily." He whispered and retreated to Sirius' room for the night.
~the next morning~
Lily woke up and it took her a minute to realize what had happened that last night, then she smiled as she heard two pairs of familiar feet racing to the room. Apparently they'd stopped to wrestle, but then the door opened to reveal the victor, Sirius, and James as the loser.
"Good morning sunshine!" Sirius yelled happily.
Lily giggled and answered "And the same to you two."
"Did you sleep well, then?" James said.
"Yeah, and thanks again. It really mean-" But Lily was cut off by Sirius.
"Oh not to worry! Now lets go eat breakfast!"
They all went downstairs and into the kitchen. It was clean now with a delicious looking breakfast spread out over the table. The all took a seat and had just begun to tuck in when the door opened and Remus waltzed into the kitchen and plopped down into a chair.
"Hello all! Glorious day, isn't it?" he said happily.
"Wuz got ooh so cherful?" Sirius said with a mouthful of food.
"Lainie Said she loves me!" he said while helping himself to some eggs.
Sirius leaned over and whispered to Lily "Elaine is his girlfriend."
"Good for you, then, Remus!" Said Lily. Remus looked up at her.
"Lily? What're you doin' here?" He said bluntly.
"Oh! I brought her home with me. We had a rousing time at that little pub, didn't we then Lil?" James said.
Lily giggled and said. "Oh, shut up James! We met up on the Knight bus and he offered me a place to stay."
"But I thought you were with Snape?" Said Remus. Sirius spat out his drink and Lily looked away tearfully.
"Bad subject, Rems." Said James.
"You were with SNAPE?!" Roared Sirius as he arose from his seat, letting his chair fall to the ground. Lily sobbed and ran up stairs back to James' room. About five minutes later Remus opened the door.
"Lily?" He said softly. She sniffled and looked up at him, her eyes were red and she had streaked stains down her cheeks that led to the wet spots on the pillow. He smiled at her and sat beside her on the bed.
"James told us what happened. Sirius is sorry for yelling, and I'm sorry for bringing it up. I honestly didn't know." He hugged her. "I'm sorry." He said.
~a few days later~
The days went on like that, happy and cheerful, until someone slipped up or something reminded Lily of her not so distant past. But one afternoon, where no one had messed up that day, James said, "Lily, I know this might hurt you but... I really think we should go to see ... to see your baby's grave."
Lily looked worried but nodded. She knew she would break to pieces, but if James said they should, then she believed him. They got ready quickly and left the house on James' broomstick, his prized Silver Arrow.
They reached the little graveyard in about a half an hour, it was a rather lovely sad place. Not scary, but hopeful, as if there was a constant presence around it that comforted the mourners. There was a weeping willow in the back of it, with a small grave stone with a little lamb on the top. A man was in front of it with his head bowed and his face buried in his hands. The headstone read, "In loving memory of Angel Snape"
Lily gasped and the man turned suddenly to see who was there with him. They immediately recognized one another.
"Lily..." He said.
"Severus..." She said back.
They stared at each other before Lily walked up to him, took off her wedding ring, and placed it beside the lamb.
"Consider that my agreement for the divorce ... Now if you please..." tears ran down her face, "I'd like to mourn the loss of... m-my An-gel." She fell to her knees and sobbed with her head on the tombstone. James rushed forward as Snape backed away, with tears streaming down his cold face.
