Quick to open the front door of the cottage and wave himself so that he could see the place properly, Lily beamed proudly at the cozy home she had put together to raise her son in. "Since James," she began and frowned shaking her head, not wanting to say more and knowing she didn't have to elaborate. Remus would likely know all too well what she was talking about.

"It's McGonagall's," Lily continued brightly after a moment, bouncing Harry on her hip as she led Remus into the kitchen, gently depositing her son in his highchair before kissing the top of Harry's head. "It's perfect really, close enough to Hogwarts that I feel very safe living here by myself, though," tilting her head at Remus Lily smiled warmly. "I suppose while you're staying here that won't be much of a worry." Crossing the room Lily moved her wand, a baby bottle assembling itself and filling with milk as she put the kettle on.

"Would you like a cup of tea? I expect our sovereign lord here to be ready for bed after a bottle and I know I certainly could do with a cup. I can show you your room once he's settled in and get your bed made." Lily had not expected to bring Remus back with her, but she was delighted by the unexpected turn her search for him had taken. It had been too long since she had a friend.
