THE IDEA OF PETER WAS STILL GROWING ON HER. Lily wasn’t really holding onto a grudge, at this point. He’d done what he’d done; made a mockery of their friendship, and ruined her son’s life. But, if Lily focused on that aspect, she’d have nothing but anger in a world where she so constantly saw red. No, for now, she needed to put that aside. For now, they needed to win. 

That didn’t mean the anger wasn’t there, though, occasionally bubbling to the surface. With the news from Rita yesterday, Lily couldn’t help but laugh, ever so slightly, at the absurdity of it all. The purebloods in danger? The only danger they were were to themselves. The bloody Death Eaters were the cause of all this chaos, and still they were the ones playing victim. There was nothing Lily could do about that, of course, so it was better to help her pureblooded friends, the ones who actually needed it, and focus on her training with Alice. Stronger. That’s who she had to become.

And James, her James, who could barely think about what was to come next, and rightfully so. His parents, as different as this timeline was continuing to be, had still succumbed to that same illness. Lily helped where she could, was there for him as much as she could be, but he also knew who she was; how she couldn’t sit still for more that five minutes without thinking about what she could be doing next. So, that’s what brought her to Diagon, to Peter, to the apothecary. The door chimed behind her as she found him, standing behind the counter and she crossed her arms, meeting his eyes with a seriousness that she didn’t mean to really have. “You happen to have time for a lunch break?” she asked, simply.
