James whistles from across the great hall at the Slytherin table. There's a whistle in return from that table. From his boyfriend, Regulus. James smiles and so does Regulus. They made a secret language for when they can't say what they really mean. James's was 'I love you' and Regulus's was 'I love you, too, Idiot'.

Regulus whistles across the common room to his cousin. She whistles back. They started whistling to each other, so they know they're both still there. Narcissa turns around in her chair and smiles at him. Regulus smiles back.

Andromeda whistles to her daughter before she leaves for her first day at college. She whistles back, but it's not the same as her sisters.

Lily whistles across the lake, Pandora turns around and whistles back to her. Pandora smiles as well as Lily and she turns around and walks back up to her friends.

Marlene smiles at her girlfriend as her whistle echoes through the room, and she continues smiling when she whistles back.

Pandora, Barty, and Regulus stand at Evan's grave whistling for Evan to appear, but they all know if Barty's not in on it, it's real.

James whistles to Harry in his crib. The same one he used to whistle to Regulus for their secret code. This time, Lily whistles beside him to Harry.

Pandora whistles to Luna in her crib, the same one she and Evan used to communicate.

Barty whistles throughout Pandora's house, but the only one that came was a soft one from her daughter's room.
