Characters: marauderinggrim and YOU~~
Location: Plaza
Time: Early morning

Wet, cold, and exhausted. This was not a new thing for Sirius, but, it was something he hadn't felt in a long time. Nearly eight months if his math was right. Still, the minute he opened his eyes and felt the wet clothes ( Read more... )

Lily apparently wandered through the Plaza often, and was out looking for Remus. James had been fairly locked in their room for the past five days, but she hadn't seen Remus or Shin at all for longer than was strictly comfortable. Shin, she understood, as they still didn't know one another very well, and it seemed as though Shin had been giving the rest of them time to mourn. Remus, however...that was unsettling. He wasn't the type to wander off without letting anyone know where he was going. Especially now, when he knew she and James would worry.

She searched the plaza, hoping to spot him, but instead, she spotted something else familiar. A mop of dark hair, and the boy attached to it. People had told her that when people died they always came back, but having never seen it happen before herself, she was more than a little bit skeptical. But...there he was. Whole and unbroken and by the slight movement of his shoulders, breathing.

Forgetting completely about Remus, she called out his name, running straight for him, tears gathering in her eyes. "Sirius!"

Sirius looked up, tiredly, but, smiled when he saw who it was. He went to stand up but only got so far as to sit on the edge of the fountain; he was exhausted.

"Hey, there, Lils. Miss me?"

Lily just laughed, because that may have been the hugest understatement she'd ever heard. She didn't slow down when she reached him, placing shaking hands on either side of his face and pressing her lips to his desperately, so overwhelmingly happy that he's alive.

marauderinggrim August 25 2011, 20:00:28 UTC

Whoa. Ok, he hadn't been expecting that. He freezes for a moment before he wraps his arms around her in a hug, trying his best to avoid kissing her back. First of all, she was dating his best mate, second of all, he was taken, but, he tried to keep in mind it was more than likely just a really strong 'hello'.

hexywitch August 25 2011, 20:15:46 UTC

Completely unapologetic, Lily wraps her arms around his shoulders, cheek pressed to his, sobbing. She'd been trying so hard to be strong the last few days, but with the relief of seeing him alive came an outpouring of emotion.

marauderinggrim August 26 2011, 23:13:45 UTC

He frowned but tightened his hold, he'd hold her for as long as she needed him to. When he speaks he keeps his voice low and hopes he sounds as comforting as he's trying to be. "Hey, Lils...it's alright, yeah? No harm done...you've been okay, right?"

hexywitch August 26 2011, 23:18:19 UTC

Lily took a deep, shuddering breath, trying to get a hold of herself. She gave him one last tight squeeze and pulled back, quickly wiping her tears off on her sleeve.

"...no. James hasn't left our room since you..." She swallowed, trying to keep more tears from falling.

"And Remus..." A tear slipped down her cheek, and she pressed her lips together, unable to say what she's pretty sure happened to Remus.

marauderinggrim August 26 2011, 23:24:12 UTC

Sirius was a little surprised by that. He hadn't expected everything to be daisies and roses, but, James sulking around in his room didn't sound...well, James-like and that was a little disturbing. At the mention of Remus, Sirius felt something in his chest clench painfully, he wasn't exactly certain he wanted to hear, but he asked anyway.

"What about Remus?"

hexywitch August 26 2011, 23:26:26 UTC

She shook her head, lip trembling, again trying to swallow her tears.

"I can't find him. Sirius, I can't find him anywhere."

marauderinggrim August 26 2011, 23:31:42 UTC

He went cold and his stomach felt like it was knotting itself together. He didn't know if Lily knew about the list...but he had a feeling she didn't or else she might've looked there first. Hesitatingly he reached into his pocket and drew out the SFC he'd found there before, glad that it was, in fact, there again, and switched it to the list of residents.

The distinct lack of anyone with the last name 'Lupin' on the list caused his heart to ache. It was just like all the other times...Remus never stayed long in this place...

"He's gone, Lils....Vatheon sent him home."

hexywitch August 26 2011, 23:37:00 UTC

Lily bit her lip and nodded. That was just what she had been afraid of. Another slips down her cheek.

marauderinggrim August 27 2011, 05:03:30 UTC

He sighed and looked away. It was painful, but, he didn't want Lily to see that. Quietly he pulled her into another hug.

"It's probably best...none of us belong here, not really."

hexywitch August 27 2011, 08:51:15 UTC

Lily melted against him, sighing heavily herself. "I would rather be here with you and James than home without you. I'm sure Remus feels the same way."

marauderinggrim August 28 2011, 15:39:10 UTC

He was quiet a moment because he knew she was right, but, he didn't want to think about it like that. It was easier to imagine Remus better off safe and sound at home than to imagine him separated from them by some magic they couldn't access. "Yeah...I know what you mean."

hexywitch August 29 2011, 16:00:43 UTC

She leaned against him for a long moment, before suddenly remembering James. She pulled back, eyes wide. "We have to go home. Right now. James needs to see you."

marauderinggrim August 29 2011, 21:08:54 UTC

Sirius nodded and pulled away. "If he's as bad off as you make him out to be, then, yeah, James first....Remus later..." James was here right now, Remus wasn't, he had to have priorities.
