lily was known for going off on her own. she wasn't a stranger to solitude, after all she'd been alone for a year after both her brothers left for school. she wasn't by herself all the time, but she would sometimes slip away when no one was watching just to be by herself and sift through all of her thoughts. that's how she dealt with everything in her head, just sitting somewhere and going through all of it. and that was exactly what she'd planned on doing all day during the hogsmeade visit.
lily usually spent the trips alone, biding her time in all of the shops. sure, she'd talk to people throughout the day, participating in a few odd conversations, but other than that she let her mind wonder. it hadn't always been this way, though. when the trips had first started, she'd been with her friends or cousins the whole say. but in her fourth year, she'd started going out on her own treks, and slowly but surely she faded from friends plans on those days. that seemed to be perfectly fine for the girl.
that day wasn't any different. she made her way to her usual first stop. the three broom sticks was filled with witches and wizards just as it always was, but there were also hogwarts students filling the hearty establishment. after a quick word with the barmaid, who she'd come to find out had been the object of her uncle ron's affection for a bit of time, lily went off the a little corner of the pub and went off to thinking.
her thoughts ranged from her family to murtagh and everything in between. she stayed on murtagh for a while. they'd been dating for a month now, but lily felt something was off. not just the owls from james, who found him horrible, but something else. removing a hair from her face, lily let her thoughts stray even more, she took a sip of the butterbeer that had just been given to her.
"it'll be a lovely day."

James had finally got out! He'd been trying to sneak out of auror training for days and had finally achieved it when his trainers were distracted by his fellow trainees. There had been a huge party last night which was against the rules and everyone was paying the price for that. Surprisingly James hadn't been at the party. He had been doing extra private training with one of his trainers who he had become friends with. He was determined to be the best he could be so was trying to get every little tip in the book. However today he wasn't thinking of the training. Today he was planning to visit and surprise his sister. He had been growing more and more concerned with her recently as her letters started talking about dating Murtagh. Someone he hated and had done for a while. Murt was a known DE member of the highest degree and was also a huge pain in the arse. The guy was now vice captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team after numerous attempts at sabotaging them in the last match which wasn't fair at all.
So in essence when Lily said that she was dating him he wasn't happy at all and decided to try and talk to her in person. He also wanted to see Lily because he missed her so much. All the Potter siblings were really close and so he wanted to make sure they were both ok. He also wanted to make sure the Weasley clan was ok. He ran to the nearest town and turned on the spot dissapperating and reappearing in Hogsmede where he knew she would be as she had mentioned it was a Hogsmede weekend. He walked around the town looking round the shops with a smile on his face as the memories of school days came flooding back. He walked to the three broomsticks deciding to start there and walked in looking round. He smiled as he saw a flash of red hair in the corner of the pub and, after ordering a butterbeer for himself, he started walking over to her. He got to her table noticing she was alone and walked up to her covering up her eyes "Guess who Lilykins!" he said using his own personal pet name for her knowing she would know who it was straight away after hearing that.

it's bad to think of him, lily. she scolded herself mentally. but, then again, he'd been creeping up on her more and more as of late. it's not fair to murt to think of him. it's not right. it's almost cheating, lily. she twirled a piece of her hair as he mind went to the year prior and the summer that had followed. all of the sweet times and the hard times. all of the aftermath that had james willing to kill the boy in question so long as he had her consent. but there had been no closure. no final words.
scorpius malfoy was the boy in question. but lily pushed him out of her mind for the millionth time that day. it wasn't something she should allow herself to think about. no, it was very wrong. so, lily let her mind drift to other things. she hadn't taken as many pictures in the month behind her, oddly enough. she just hadn't thought about it. i'll have to make up for lost time today then. she resolved, pulling the old camera from her purse and snapping a quick picture.
then, just as she'd set the muggle device down, someone put their hands over her eyes. she had a moment of pure panic, almost reaching for her wand. however, at the sound of the voice and the words he said, lily quickly jumped up from her seat, spinning around in the process. "jamesy!" lily squealed, throwing her arms around her elder brother's neck.
it was an understatement to say the potter children were close. lily viewed her two brothers as, not only role models, but as her best and closest friends. they'd shared so many good and bad times that she didn't think she'd ever rely on anyone the way she relied on those two.
