RP: The Memorial
Who: Open to all
When: 13 April
Where: Dearly Departed Funeral Home and Cemetery located at#14 Godric Street, Hogsmeade.
What: There's a memorial for Cassandra

- The cemetery is a lot fuller of tombstones since at the start of the pandemic, people were being buried there.
- The tomb stones are partially covered in weeds
- Cassandra's grave is obviously the cleanest with a simple stone with her name, date of birth and date of death
- There were flowers on the grave thanks to Remus.
- Savannah spoke first. Peter spoke as well.

Lily sighed. "If I've learned anything at all about my experiences, it's that you have to deal with what you've been through. Pushing it down or ignoring it just makes the inevitable crash when you can't stamp it down anymore even worse. Even being here, after learning what happened to James, Harry, and I, the first thing I did was go looking for answers to try and understand why certain things happened the way they did."

Of course, like any good information hunt, the answers just raised more questions. Lily hadn't been surprised by that, though, and was hopeful that soon she would run out of questions as well.

Hearing her grandson laugh was worth the silliness of the question, which she felt served its' purpose when she saw him actually thinking about his answer. "I wonder if your grandfather has seen Savannah flying. He's always been obsessed with Quidditch. It's not often that one hears of someone professing an enjoyment of Ancient Runes. What was it you were doing before coming here?"

She nodded sadly. "It shouldn't be something you have to get used to, but I suppose I understand. People can take things like privacy and their security for granted unless they've been having to work for it all their lives. I hope this vacation from sneaking about has been helpful for you."

"That's not the way society works, though. Society wants to move on, get passed the ugliness, as quickly as possible. War is over. Mourn the dead. Then get on with life, rebuild, prove it's all behind us now." Jamie shrugged. "A lot of people would rather just pretend they weren't affected by it, brush it under the rug and try to forget it happened."

The turn in her curiosity caused another laugh to come slipping out. "Oh, he's seen it. Just before the castle threw it's little fit, a quidditch match was organized. Your generation versus Dad's and ours. Grandpa James not only saw her fly, he had the privilege of having us wipe the pitch with his team," he added with a grin before explaining further. "I've been working for Gringott's as a cursebreaker. Last several months I've been posted here in Scotland at Goblin Hall. But, I was expecting to hear on a dig in Moldova any day when Al and I arrived."

Sighing, he shook his head. "Now you sound like Dad. But, it's honestly not that bad, dealing with the press and the public. It's just the way it is. Think back to your time, the society pages filled with pureblood heiresses marrying eligible pureblood heirs? That's us now. Dad and his friends, the D.A., they saved the world and became the new society elite as a result. They are the people making our laws, setting the example for acceptable behaviour, influencing fashion and social trends, driving economy. We were born to privilege and with that privilege comes a certain level of obligation." He winked at her. "The Potter legacy's grown a bit from your time, that's all."
