The Five Characters Meme, by Lily Evans
Aug. 21st, 2006 03:35 pmWhy not? Everyone else is doing it :)
1.) Sirius Black. You know I love you, darling, but honestly. Can we count the things you've done that have made me cringe? I'll forgive you a lot of it. What's a lot of schoolboy idiocy to what you've done for Harry? But sending Snape down the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack… because of you James had to go and grow up and I then had to fall in love with him and look where that got me. Thanks a lot, I hope you're happy.
2.) Harry Potter. Yes, I only knew you on Earth for a year and half. But there were times I just wanted to shake you or throw you out the window- figuratively speaking, anyway. You are the only male on Earth that has ever made me cry so hard with frustration and feel so completely inadequate, just by playing in his cot at two in the morning, when I so desperately needed sleep. Plus, pulling on my hair and the split lip? Those really hurt, you little snot.
But I love you.
3.) James Potter. Oh, shall I count the ways? Skipping entirely over the first six years I knew you, let's begin. The patronizing air like you knew more than me, even though I was Head Girl and your equal. The socks on the floor as you nagged me about picking up my robes. The way you never said I looked pretty once we got together. The way you never helped with the housework, and I don't care if that is normal. The way you managed to have me change most of Harry's messy nappies. The times you went out with Remus, Sirius, and Peter drinking and left me home all night with the baby. I could go on and on, but you know what? None of it is important in the long run. You're still the most amazing man I ever met.
4.) Remus Lupin. Aside from the fact that you were always so pouty about James spending time with me (and really, I thought it was going to be Sirius I'd have to worry about), what in the world were you thinking by not protecting my son? Heck with my son- an entire schoolfull of children. Yes, we all know Sirius is innocent now, but you didn't. When you get here, I'm going to give you the biggest hug of your life, and then you'd better turn that furry tail of yours and run, because you're going to get a nice round of hexes for that one.
And I've got a bunch of other mothers who will help me. Heh.
5.) Albus Dumbledore. You know, it would have been so much easier if you would just tell people the whole truth, including us. But now that you're in the afterlife with me, I fully intend on kicking your ass for how much you hid from Harry. You might be the only one Voldemort ever feared, but that won't save you now. Poison, Horcrux destroying, Avada Kedavra and falling off the Astronomy Tower? Oh, Dumbles, that's only the beginning….
