persephone was muttering to herself as she was trying to get something out of her shoe. there she was in a nice dress, balancing on one high heeled foot while shaking out the other. how gracious.

“lily! no just to myself. can i hold onto you as i try to get this thing back on?” she asked, smiling at her friend.

lily almost felt embarrassed next to the other, who was dressed in her fancy clothes and high heels, while lily, ever since she had birth, or ever since her pregnancy, would wear comfy clothes. and here she was, her hair probably messed up from harry pulling it, her face looking as tired as ever, and makeup-less, because who has time to put makeup? “sure you can persy” lily said, smiling, she knew the struggle. “you look lovely.”

“you little rascal!” he yelled as he caught his son fred by the arm. a woman talked to him and he recognised the voice as lily’s. “oh no, just to fred.” he told her before he pointed behind him. “i’m here with my zoo.” he said, jokingly as ten year old bill was pushing ron in the pushchair, george was walking along with percy and charlie was still holding onto the metal handlebar of the stroller.

“oh i’m sorry arthur.” lily said to the others, smiling at his kids. “i admire you two for managing with all of them, i only have this little one.” she said, referring to the baby in her arms, “who is considered a calm baby, and i don’t get to sleep, so heaven knows how you and moll look so good.” she said.

“Yeah I was..” James furrowed his brows slowly, moving closing to his wife. “Are you okay?” He asked, worrying a bit.

“i’m fine dear.” lily said, smiling at her husband, happy to see him. “i was just paying attention to harry, but he seems to be happy to see you.” she said, as her son smiled at his father.

“ do you see anyone else around, lil ?? “ benjy questioned with the characteristic grin at the features. “ if you do see someone invisible around, you should let me know. “

“i’m sorry, i’m a little distracted.” lily said, with a grin. “and i couldn’t possible see anyone invisible anyway.” she smiled.
