"For good days, I count this as the greatest, I've returned to it the most"

She heaved the heavy basket and leaned it against her hip. Carrying it into the garden and found the back where wire was tied to three polls, used as a washing line. Dropping it to the floor, she began pegging the sheets on the line, humming a song and her thoughts off somewhere else.

Firstly she believed it to be thunder, angry she gazed into the sky, she had just done her second load, she needed them to try. But was surprised when she check the skies and found not clouds or rain, in fact the sun was shinning brilliantly. But there swooping down, with three brooms in tow, Sirius's motorcycle. She froze her hands still clinging to the damp sheet as the brooms and bike were on the ground to the far out field.

Her mouth nearly fell open. Excitement rose in her heart and burned brightly as she saw all four of her visitors.
Lily, swung off her broom, a backpack in her back and a small bag on her wrist.
James just behind, fixing his glasses and tugging on his rucksack. He winked to Lily, when he got her staring.
Remus, left the broom neatly leaning against the fence, dusting down his brown shabby trousers, picking up two bags from the ground.
And finally Sirius, after a quick check in his mirror, smiled and pulled the leather jacket tighter , along with his backpack. He held white roses in his hands. They all placed their brooms in Sirius's holder car.
They hadn't noticed her yet.

She stepped from behind all the washing, sheets blowing the summer breeze. A beautiful sunny day and the weather was perfect. She couldn't hold in no longer and ran out and stopped a few yards ahead. They all stopped. Sirius grinned.
"Surprise!" He'd said to her. She shook her head and ran full pelt to him and his arms were open. Soon she was in them but her excitement was too much for they fell in fits of laughter. A flash of a camera beside them. Remus was standing with a disposable camera grinning, take as much pictures as he could. Lily sighed, leaning a little closer to James, who didn't mind it at all.
"Guess it's safe to say you missed me" He laughed.
"No not at all, what made you think that?" She replied. Her head leaning on the grass , Sirius half on top of her.
"You know I have to say I rather like you like this-"
"Okay!" Remus raises his hands up. "Look guys horses" He said obnoxiously loud.
"Very pretty ponies!" Lily followed suit with James in tow.
"That's good now that they're away" Sirius said and Leaned down and kissed her.

"I have to admit, that's pretty sweet" Lily said with a smile.
"Well if you thinks so?, we could do that-" James smirked.
"No I'm great thanks, I'd rather kiss that horse" She folded her arms and soon the couple got out of the embrace.
"Oh your happy now?" Coughed James to Sirius and Horatia, he was still trying to recover from the previous burn.
"Um, hold on!" Sirius frowned then dipped Horatia kissing her again . The rest groaned. When they came back up for air, Horatia's face was bright red and slightly disoriented.
"Well we came too so where's my love!" Said Lily, Horatia laughed and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you so much, I needed this so much, don't think I would've lasted the rest of the summer alone" She said moving to hug Remus and James.
"I can relate" Said Remus.

There was a pause as she looked around.

"Now, who's hungry?" She asked and they cheered in joy.

"It always seemed that in my darkest times, these beautiful souls always turned on the light, this is why it is important, to look past all looks and hurts. To look past the standards and needs of others, horrible needs, people like Bellatrix , controlling weaker hearted people, forcing them to be a certain way they shouldn't and wouldn't if they could stop. Dumbledore taught me that, taught me to move on, to look beyond and see in my self that these people are important too and that social standards of others or their opinions are toxic. Jealous people, violent people, untrustworthy people, lying people, are all the certain types that force opinions and take away choices. It's loose who stand and say no that give others courage. For what are we, are we singly brave, smart, kind or cunning? no were are people, with hearts and minds, lungs that breathe and emotions that feel everything so deeply. We are not, red, blue, yellow or green, we cannot be one thing, it's impossible. No one is one things, for that over-simplifies everything. Someone who believes this is someone that deserves a slap up the side of the head. You are more than what your people are, you are more than what your parents are, you are more than what your race, country, stereo-type etc and etc. Never believe you are one thing, for if you believe that then it's easily convince yourself that you are nothing. Life changes, people change with it, never forget, never hold on. Like they did, they made me better, made me thing, made me , me and that my beautiful class, is what real friends, real feeling and loving friends must and will do."
