[Lily stands in the doorway, watching Harry sadly. The scream sends a chill down her spine and she reaches out for him...

But this feels...private. So she retracts her hand and places it over her chest instead.]

I'm sorry. [The words are weak compared to his grief, but she doesn't know what else to say.] Harry, I'm so sorry.

[ Harr looks over to his mum not sure what to say. His face is wracked in grief and there really are no words to express how heartbreaking this is for him. ]

[ Harry closes his eyes and turns his head away from Lily. ]

[ It may be okay but it doesn't make the pain go away any faster. ]

[ He's not likely to. It's a gesture Hermione may have done, so he really appreciates the silence as much as if she had tried to comfort him with words. Harry squeezes his mum's hand gently. ]

[Lily smiles sadly, rubbing her thumb over his knuckles. She realizes that Harry has seen more than his fair share of loss. After awhile, they all cloud together into one big ball of pain and helplessness. But he's not helpless. She wants to remind him of his strength - even if something should happen to those closest to him.]
