Drabble #1

Lily & Lysander

(Harry Potter Drabble)

"Thanks, Sander," Lily said, after long minutes of laughing the wrackspurts out of herself as she and Lysander laid themselves on the grass.

Lysander adjusted his head to take a good look of his bestfriend. Needless to say, she was beautiful; her flaming Weasley hair matched perfectly with her bright brown eyes; she looked exactly as kind as she is, and as friendly and as welcoming as her warm heart. She may be a little crazy but so was he; they were just equally insane.

"For tricking James into eating those puking pastels?" He finally replied, slightly recovering from all the laughter. “I’ve always wanted to do that"

"No, not just that, silly," Now Lysander’s eyes were glued to her as she laughed and he swore to Merlin that memory was gonna stay in his mind for a long while. She looked so innocent, so happy, so into the moment. He admired the way she broke into a wide smile at just the memory of James puking (which, Lysander would admit, he was disgusted at, at first), life poured into her features, teeth glistening in a wide, slack jawed grin and then there was a crinkle in her eyes that made them sparkle, she was just so beautiful to him.

"For what, then?" If anything, he thinks he should be thankful to her. She understood him so well, and made him know that it was normal to believe in the weirdest things and that it doesn’t make you crazy to stare at supposedly invisible creatures; she was just so kind to him.

She placed her hands on her stomach and stared at the cloudless blue sky before giving him the answer. “For being my bestfriend and playing with me and listening to me when I wanna be heard, for understanding me—" she trailed off, looking somewhat unsatisfied like she knew she could have explained it better. "—and stuff" but then Lysander always understood what she meant, no matter how senseless it was, just as he always understood him.

She turned to her side and smiled at him, strands of red hair sliding down her face. “I just want you to know that I appreciate all of that"

Lysander mirrored her position and pushed the strands away from her face and tucked them around her ear. He smiled as well. “I appreciate you too, Lils" So much.
