❀ Four ❀ [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

[myloveisalwayshere]

[This is absolutely accidental because Lily would never ever ever flaunt such a costume in public, but hey, at least she's in the spirit of Halloween? Network, have a very red faced Witch wearing this and looking at herself in the mirror.]

This is far too short. What was I thinking? [She tugs on the hem, biting her lip.] Maybe if I wore a skirt with it, but would that get in the way of the tail?

[And she turns to look at said tail, unaware that all of her motions are being recorded.]

Merlin, tights would be better than nothing...

He wouldn't. Even a little bit of time with you means a great deal, Sirius. You have a way of making a person feel important.

[alwaysimpure]

I just happen to know a lot of important people.

[myloveisalwayshere]

No one starts out that way and, believe me, I'd much rather fade into the crowd where some things are concerned.

[alwaysimpure]

You always stood out.

Sometimes as particularly annoying, mind.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I worked on that while we were in school.

[alwaysimpure]

That's alright, I reckon I wasn't your favourite, either.

[myloveisalwayshere]

We started off on the wrong foot. I assumed you were close-minded and elitist. That was my mistake.

[alwaysimpure]

Don't worry about it, Lily, everyone assumed that, until I set out to prove them all wrong. Though I guess everyone does again, now. At best.

[myloveisalwayshere]

They shouldn't have. That was their - our - near-sightedness. I'm glad James broke through that mold.

As for what they think now... [She looks down, sighing.] You were amazing for us, Sirius. You did everything you could. I hope you can remember that and I hope it brings you comfort. We love you.

[alwaysimpure]

It's good to hear it here, Lily. It's wonderful. But comfort and Azkaban don't really mix.

I missed you. Your whole family.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I know. [She closes her eyes tightly.] I can't believe you're stuck there. You deserve to be applauded - not imprisoned.

We miss you too. We're not complete without you.

[alwaysimpure]

I'll still get to meet Harry and he'll know the truth, so...

It doesn't seem all that bad, all of it, since I know that.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You'll be a man who isn't appreciated in his own time. [Aren't most legends like that?]

[alwaysimpure]

If I was going to be a cliché, I'd really rather have died young.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You're only as young as you feel.

[alwaysimpure]

That'd put me somewhere between twelve and ancient.

[myloveisalwayshere]

Dumbledore ancient?

[alwaysimpure]

Nah. More, very, very, very tired, ancient.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You've been emotionally and physically drained. Give yourself time to recoup.

[alwaysimpure]

Doing my best.

I'm just glad I got to see you and James.

[myloveisalwayshere]

We're still with you. Consider yourself haunted.

[alwaysimpure]

The real deal is actually much nicer to me than the versions in my head.

[myloveisalwayshere]

We're definitely better to hug.

[alwaysimpure]

That, too. And still willing to teach me about muggle stuff.

[myloveisalwayshere]

At least the good Muggle stuff. Magic is definitely easier in most domains.
