Tell

The wake continued well into the early hours as many people retold fond memories of Charles Potter including a rather suspicious event involving missing house elves back at Hogwarts

'Well we know where James got it' a short bearded man said affectionately.

Lily was still sitting on the stairs although Sirius had politely excused himself almost 20 minutes before, when James leant against the banister.

'You don't have to sit here alone you know' he said casually not daring to look at her.

'I can't take how they're looking at me. I feel much more comfortable out here thank you' she said with a slight nod of her head.

'But you didn't come here for them now, did you?' James asked surprising himself.

He had told himself when he saw her again his words would be short and meaningless.

Lily shook her head. 'James I'm-'

'James dear, people are leaving wont you see-' Susan Potter began coming through the door that lead to the kitchen. 'Lily darling you should stay here tonight, I know you've come quite a distance and it's late'

Lily took a sharp intake of breath. It was obvious this women wanted her around and she could not refuse. 'That is very kind Sue, of course I'll stay'

The house was the quietest James had ever remembered. Soon after everyone had left Sue had excused herself and gone to bed but as James walked past his mothers room he could here the soft murmur of tears. Walking down the staircase he could here soft voices come from the kitchen.

'I'll be in the garden' He said softly moving past Lily and Sirius who were sitting at the kitchen table.

'James its 2am maybe you should go to bed' Sirius called after him but to no avail.

'Let me' Lily whispered and walked into the garden after James.

James had reached the swing before Lily spoke.

'Sirius is right James you should go to bed'

'I can't sleep' he explained childishly.

'You can't do this to yourself' she moved closer to the swing.

'Do what?' he asked defensively.

'Blame yourself' Lily answered crossing her arms against the cold night air.

James turned his head slightly 'It's my fault'

Lily shook her head.

'It is' he insisted 'I was there, I should have-'

'What?' Lily asked forcefully 'known there was going to be Deatheaters? James no one was to know'

James shrugged 'doesn't matter now, he's gone' he paused slightly 'another person gone…' he murmured.

Lily shifted uncomfortably knowing he was referring to her leaving.

'I wanted to come back' she said suddenly.

'tsk' James breathed out. 'so why didn't you?'

Lily shrugged 'I didn't think you'd want me back'

James laughed slightly 'well you did throw a… what was it?

'Hairdryer' Lily prompted him

'a hairdryer at my head not to mention a diamond ring' James looked at the ground.

'and then you walked out and never came back'

'You never came after me' Lily pointed out.

James turned his head to her quickly 'I didn't know you wanted me to go after you' he said raising his voice slightly.

Lily throw up her arms 'of course I wanted you to come after me. I didn't want it to be over, I was just upset' she shouted forgetting where she was.

'Well you could have told me that instead of throwing things at my head!' James shouted right back.

'You two inside now!' Sirius shouted through gritted teeth from the back door.

Sirius paced back and forth with great speed.

'You two should be ashamed of yourself, your poor mother is up stairs crying he eyes out after losing the love of her life' he pointed at James 'and all you two can do is fight like children in the backyard, now I don't care if you can't sleep but go to bed…Now!'

Sirius watched them both walk up the stairs and enter their respective bedrooms before covering his face with his hands and take a deep breath.

'I need a drink' he breathed out turning back to the kitchen.
