RP: James and Lily
Who: Lily, James (Prongs)
Where: Their room
When: 31 August, 2025
Summary: Comfort
The days since the memorial had been hard. She'd find herself remembering at odd times different things about Harry. His first step, the way he'd looked at her when she'd come back, his love of chocolate as a baby. Sometimes she missed him, both the adult Harry and her baby, so much she'd have to stop in the middle of patrol and just take deep breaths to ward off the tears. No mother should ever have to go through this pain, but it was unavoidable.
James was having a difficult time too, and alone in their set of rooms they often couldn't speak at all, the memories too painful. Other times they couldn't stop talking, offering stories of Harry as a baby and an adult, even if the other had been right there for it. They'd just hold each other and offer what comfort they could, as they mourned their son.
Tonight she'd arrived before James as usual, and changed into a set of his pajamas to wait. When the door opened she didn't bother with hello, just opened her arms and guided him down on the couch to lie with her. His hair tickled her nose but she didn't care, it was familiar and the scent was all James, his closeness offering comfort where words couldn't.
