Summary: Lily wants to tell Harry in person
Status: Complete



Lily hadn't exactly gotten around to telling ... anyone, really, just yet. She'd thought to owl Cas a couple of times, but in the end decided this was more face-to-face news. She supposed both Relic and Mitch had caught on that she'd found someone; there'd been a couple of comments about her being more cheerful than usual around the store. She'd let them wonder, though she thought Relic had an idea of who, exactly, Lily's "someone" was.

She thought, too, she'd have to tell Faustus next time she bumped into him at school. He'd helped a little with her conundrum, after all; it only seemed fair he be kept updated on the outcome.

But of all the people to tell (and of course the most difficult one), was Harry. She was hoping (perhaps a bit morbidly) that since he had grown up without them, he wouldn't feel like she was 'replacing' James.

Granted, he had grown up with Severus as his professor - something Lily tried not to think too hard about - and she wasn't sure if he had animosity he hadn't yet expressed that would come out with this announcement.

Which, she supposed, was why she thought it best delivered in person.

Carrying a plate of biscuits she'd made that morning, Lily popped herself over to the gate of the Potter home, letting herself in. She knocked on the door in warning before opening it. "Anybody home?" she called cheerfully as she looked around. She was fairly certain Harry had the day off, but didn't know. He could've been called in, but if then ... Jamie might still be home.

Either way, she'd see who showed up. "I've got biscuits if there are any Potter blokes about," she called again, a smile on her lips as she started for the kitchen.
