Time passed on, as May came to an end. The weather changed from spring to early summer as June approached carefully. Near the beginning of June, the survivors had a moment to celebrate the war and how Voldemort has come to an end. A toast was also raised for those people who had returned, to those who have died previously. James, Lily, Remus, Dora (as she called herself) and Sirius and the rest of the people, had been sitting down when the owl had arrived. It contained a letter and Harry carefully took it out of the owls legs. He opened it and saw it was Neville's writing. He was shocked that Neville was writing to him when they had met up a few days ago, so he must have known that it was important.
"Who's that from Harry?" Asked Ginny looking up from her delightful breakfast that Harry had cooked ( she had fallen in love with the food he made so she basically ordered him to cook for her)
"It's- it's from Neville" replied Harry
"What happened?" Asked Hermione looking up from her book House Elf Treatment (which she hugely disagreed with)
"I don't know but he's just telling us to come to st mungos and get my mum, dad Sirius and Remus" he replied reading the Letter
"We should go then. If it's st mungos. I hope he's okay" said Hermione pitting her book down and getting up to grab her coat.
Five minutes later, Harry had called everyone who needed to come and they all had starting apperating to st mungos. When Harry entered, he remembered what it felt like coming here the first time. The familiar scent of hospitality still lingered within the building. The beige colour per walls still looking fresh as it was a few years ago. They all walked towards the reception lady.
"Hello there how can I help?" She said coolly
"We are looking for- oh there he is" started Harry but stopped as he saw Neville running to them
"Hey guys come on! You need to see this right now. Oh and by the way they are allowed to come okay" Neville said to the receptionist
"So I just wasted my time" she said grumpily but nonetheless let them go. The walked towards the landing and it lifted them up to 4th floor. Harry remembered seeing Lockhart and the Longbottoms there but he didn't know why Neville was taking them here.
"Here we are. Now follow me" he said. They all followed him looking around for any clues if what's happening. When Neville stopped, Harry looked around. There was a woman with chocolate brown hair that reached just past her chin, who was hugging a woman with sandy blonde hair and a rock style face. The was also a man who was hugging who Harry recognised as Augusta Longbottom, Neville's grandmother. Then there was a woman with black hair and dark skin standing there watching them all. When they had broke apart and noticed them, their eyes widened with shock.
"Lily? Is is that you?" Said the blonde woman
Harry looked at his mum and saw her green eyes filled with a mixture of emotions and she had her hands over her mouth.
"Marlene, Alice, Dorcas, frank. It can't be you guys. Marlene you were dead and and oh my goodness James!" She said stuttering
"No way that's them!" said Sirius seriously.
"Are they cured?" Asked Remus
"Right so I better clear this up. My mum and dad have recovered from their state and now recognise me and lots of other people who they remembered. The Blond woman is Marlene McKinnon, the other woman is Dorcas Meadows and they all claim to be best friends. On this side there's Lily Potter, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley. James and lily have risen from the dead just like Marlene and Dorcas. So I hope that cleared everything up" Neville finished off. Everyone stared at him. Was this really the boy who couldn't even perform a switching spell?
"Oh my goodness DORCAS, MARLENE, ALICE you all are back" exclaimed Mum and ran to hug them. Meanwhile James, Sirius and Remus had gone to Frank and started talking to them about everything.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny seemed really confused on what was going on. Suddenly it clicked. Lily's best friends must have been these people. The fact that they all died would probably make them more emotional. Harry had a hazed memory at the back of his head, about a blonde woman carrying him, nearly dropping him the first try. He didn't recognise the woman but something told hm that the blonde one was the one who nearly dropped him.
The truth was, these people had all been best friends once and because of their unimaginable state, they had fallen apart. Because even though time flies by, there are things you might not know but they will somehow come back to you once it happens. As Luna had always said
'The things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. Maybe not in the way we expect it to"
