First Jaime, and now her. This had the distinct feeling of someone jabbing at the workings of their leadership trio. She imagined Tyler was next ... unless they simply didn't see him as enough of a threat to do things like this to him. From what Lily knew of his home life and school life, aside from a few fights with his friends ... he probably didn't have much ammunition for them to grasp anyway. That annoyed her as well, and she would like for there to be a period in which she was not annoyed sometime in the near future.

Still, hearing James' voice had done unsettling things to her. He was younger ... it was from their time in school before she'd seen that he'd grown up enough to be considered worth her attention. It bothered her still though ... she'd known he was like that, she still didn't approve, yet she'd believed herself in love with him enough to marry him?

She did love him. Of course she did. She had a son with him. She ... really wished she had some insight to their marriage though. Had it been a good one? Or had it been full of fights like that? She did still fight with him. Not every day, but often enough. Had she forgotten how immature and arrogant he'd been, somewhere along her sixth year? He hadn't truly grown out of it, had he?

Frowning, Lily decided she was over-thinking this. It probably wasn't what they'd meant to convey with that little blast from the past, anyway. She imagined it was set to dig at Severus, but why? If it was meant to dig at her ... well, it had done that, certainly, but ...

Lily sighed and shook her head and set about starting dinner for people who were interested in joining her. Most of the time there was a decent sized crowd, but she imagined Jaime wouldn't be down here tonight. That saddened her. No one should have their lives broadcast like that. No one. Private moments ...

... Lily wondered how many other private moments of their lives would be blasted across the network. It was not a pleasant thought. This place had definitely taken a plunge to the darker side of things, and she didn't like it.

Sighing, she pulled the big pot out from the bottom cabinet and half-filled it with water. They could have spaghetti tonight. It was easy to make, and ... she was fairly certain there was some frozen bread she could bake, too. And a salad. She could handle that. Maybe soon, she'd have to recruit some kitchen help though ... there were an awful lot of people here now.

"Remus is ... I believe from recently after he was a professor at Hogwarts. And yes, she's here, but she hasn't done much more - that I'm aware of - than post things on the network. So it's completley possible it isn't even her at all, just ... one of their games. Regulus is ... my age? Give or take? We didn't speak for very long when we did meet. And Ari is ... she's well enough. She has a friend a little younger than herself, so we ... just try to keep an eye on them." She was curious if Harry knew more about her, if Albus had told him anything, but ... that could wait.

A faint smile tugged her lips. "Severus is here. We crammed together a Wolfsbane potion for Remus ... you just missed the full moon." Which reminded her. "Love, there are other sorts of magic users here. We were thinking about getting together to practice some things this weekend, to see how our magic acted and reacted with theirs in case we ever needed to use wards or something to protect one another, if you were at all interested in participating in that."

She tipped the spaghetti into the pot once it was boiling, stirring it around a little before leaving it to work as she started on the sauces.

"It's good to see you, love, though I do wish the circumstances were other than what they are."

	He chuckled. "Petunia never said anything about you, except when she was criticizing you or dad..." His lips twisted, then he smiled. "Uhm, well, how did you and Dad... er, decide to marry? I heard you two didn't like each other all that much when you first met..." Well, she had asked what he wanted to know... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I'll have to make a Pensieve, and show you. Otherwise it'll probably not make sense..." He chuckled, remembering all he'd learned from Dumbledore and Moody. "There's a lot to show you." He settled back, watching her. He was content to just be here, for now. To watch, and to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded and winced. "I will do my best. Every bit, slowly. And there is a lot of good. A lot of joy, mixed in with a lot of strange." He smiled to her, love in his eyes. "We'll take it slow. And, er, I will try not to be too wanting of your time." even though he would love to spend as much as possible near her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good to know. I'm not sure how I'll stand being unoccupied after home. I was busy there and now... heck. It feels weird not having a job." He sighed and smiled at her as he made a plate, inhaling the scent of the spaghetti, and pouring some dressing on the salad. This was awesome. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
