Warnings/Rating: Tired, annoyed Lily?
Summary: Lily isn't sure who the conversation was meant to attack, but is displeased all the same
Status: Complete

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.

He pondered that while he ate for a long moment, and became aware as he did that people were wandering in. "I guess everyone's arriving. Do you want-- if you don't want to, you don;t have to tell-- I, ah, will let you decide if you want to tell people who i am to you. I am proud of you, and who you are, but you have your own life here." And he did not want to ruin it, not after costing her a life before.

Never had that stuck in his craw so much, that he had been the cause of his parents' deaths. But he felt it now, so his smile was a little strained.

"Looks like an interesting group.

And this would definitely be an interesting adventure.

"Love, no. Don't be silly. Of course you can tell them you're my son, and I'll do the same," Lily assured him softly. "I'd hardly say that I had a life here ..." she murmured. "I'm just ... surviving as well as I can in a very unpleasant situation."

That was what it boiled down to, really. Though she thought if this went on much longer, she might have to start considering it her life. There really was no end in sight, and Lily sighed softly.

He smiled a little wider, a little truer to her reassurance. His mom was awesome.

And younger than him. He cut off that thought. She was already awesome, from what he could see and had read.

"Well, we'll just have to make it a better situation, now." He nodded. He bent the rules at home, and had broken them against Voldemort. Whoever the people in charge of this place were, they had a lot of thinks coming if they thought he'd just bend knee.

Lily smiled, reaching out to take Harry's hand, squeezing it gently. "I know it's selfish of me to say, but ... I am glad you're here, Harry."

There was one bright spot to this mess. This was the only way she'd ever be able to see her son grown, but she did wonder if they hadn't put him here just to take him away again. She tried not to think on that too much, but they'd already proven to be sadistic bastards. So why not pull a trick like that?

Lily shook her head, turning her attention to her dinner, content to lapse into silence for now and talk properly with him later, once the kitchen had cleared out some.

	Color tinged his cheeks and he grinned at her. "I'm glad I'm here, too, no matter what." He squeezed her hand too and bounced. The food was good, and he ate, and settled back, watching people, saying hello to a few, grinning all the while. He wouldn't stop grinning for days. (Reply to this) (Parent)
