    Minor updates to Chapters Five and Six — a missing scene and one reordered line. I've reviewed this translation five or six times and am still finding things. Highly recommend not asking me how that feels.

    Summary

    Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.

    The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'

    And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.

    She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.

    Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

    Summary

    Tess wasn’t hopeful by nature.

    The world they lived in found some way or another of wringing that out of you whenever it somehow manifested itself.

    But then, then she miraculously survived what should have been a fatal gunshot. So, hope snuck its way into Tess’ system.

    She wasn’t aware of it at the time, merely thanked her luck and set off after her literal partner in crime once she healed.

    Then she felt a twinge when she managed to reach Jackson and Tommy was actually there…. And then felt a bit more when he told her Joel and Ellie passed through and were on their way to the Fireflies out in Salt Lake.

    *Events if TLOU 2 if Tess lived.
