Re: Jamie/Lily
It was good to be out of the house, at a social gathering that wasn't a funeral. It didn't mean she didn't feel slightly uncomfortable, given that she wasn't sure that Jamie really wanted them here. However, she was going to make every effort to repair the damage to the relationship, not only for the sake of James' relationship with Sirius and Remus but also because Jamie was family.
She smiled when Jamie approached her, deciding that now was as good a time as any to start that repair. "Hi. I'm doing all right. How about you?" Standing there, she couldn't help but be reminded of Lily and Hope, and wonder if there could have been something she could have done to prevent what had happened. If only she'd gone to see Lily after Sirius' owl, maybe things could have been different.
