Who: James and Lily Where: St. Mungo's What: It's an anniversary... When: August 30th, Mid-morning
She was sleeping, thankfully. Lily stroked Mrs. P's hand before she got up and walked around the room, her arms on her hips as she took deep breaths. It wasn't fair. She was an old lady who had recently lost her husband -- and her own jaw was broken and in extreme pain. Lily's arms dropped down to her side and her fists clenched as she thought about a variety of things she'd like to do to Marius Lestrange.
With a deep breath, Lily regained her composure. It wasn't a good day for an anniversary... But it was their anniversary.
She walked behind James and wrapped her arms around him tightly, pressing her chin on his shoulder.
"I know the circumstance aren't what we wanted..." She hesitated for only a moment. "But I wanted to say, happy anniversary, darling. And I'm always going to be by your side no matter how hard things get."
