        Lily Black snuck out into the garden and sat on the grass, staring up at the stars. She heard the soft thump of someone landing beside her and inhaled. She knew that scent, it was like a memory. Something she experienced once then it was gone. The smell of wet dog, lilacs and oak. She turned and saw Sirius Black sitting at her side. 

   "Hey." She said as though it were normal to speak to a dead man

  "You don't seem surprised." Sirius said "I'm alive.Lils." 

  "I know but when you're best friend is a werewolf and the other is a Potter not much surprises you anymore." Lily shrugged

  "I missed you." He said "Even though I was dead, I remembered you and I wanted to be there, to 

teach you how to fly, play Quidditch, hex someone!" 

   Lily turned her head and let a tear slip out.

  "You remembered me?" She asked quietly 

  "Of course, how could I forget? I held you once then the ministry happened."

   Lily smiled a little and wiped the tears away.

  "You know, when Harry was a baby, James, Remus and I would take turns taking care of him while the other was away working for the order and it became sort of a tradition to say "good luck, your turn." when we handed him off. It was the same with you and when I was falling through the veil, I saw Remus holding Harry back and Tonks appirated off to you, my last thought was "Good luck, your turn." and when I fell through I cried." 

   Lily turned to face her father and tackled him. 

   "I missed you too dad!" She cried into his shoulder
