Who: Lily & Sirius6-KNAP What: Sirius just arrived and a whole bunch of wtfff?? When: Tuesday, 17 July; Evening Where: Near the hospital (sorry Upsi, not getting Lily tonight ;D) Warnings: None? Language?
It had been a good day. Lily had gotten back to the Compound safely, found James, enjoyed the snow outside... and Sirius was here. Obviously, that was wonderful. He was here, her best friend. Of course she was glad! But, at the same time, a wave of panic coursed through her the moment she'd seen his handwriting on the journals, as soon as she'd confirmed that it was her Sirius who was here. He still thought the things she'd thought when she'd gotten here, he still thought they were married, he still thought James and Remus were killers. She wanted to protect him from those things and she wanted to protect James from how much Sirius' presence was going to hurt him.
She couldn't do either, but she could be there for both of them in any way they'd let her.
First, though, she had to find Sirius. She had to explain to him everything and hope that somehow some of what she had to say would get through to him. It wasn't fair really, that she finally got to have her best friend here after however long she'd been here without him and the first thing she had to do was tell him things he wasn't going to want to hear.
With a deep breath, Lily rounded the corner near the hospital. The moment she saw him, she broke into a run and didn't stop until she was hugging him, not caring if he wanted her to, or not. "I'll explain everything in a second," she told him, feeling a moment of reprieve from her worry, "but first I just have to say I've missed you, you arse. Always late, never on time."
