Ed smiled at Joce, “Good ‘cuze I didn’t have my hopes up love,” he answered returning her wink. Ed stopped moving for a moment. He had to think. “We should start with someone Lily knew back then. Not Snape,” he added quickly and then continued on, “Someone who knew her well. Maybe an older friend of hers? Someone who would know who she was during that time in her life. Who she was with roughly nine months before your birth. That’s the only way I can think of to find out,” Ed finished with a light sigh. “Only think I don’t now who would have known Lily.”<br/><br/>He stopped speaking and just held her a moment longer before he thought some more on it. Ed laughed at her teasing words as he found her sweet and adorable. He didn’t feel like she was crazy for doing that, “I know Joce, it’s what you always do. But you have to admit it’s rare I get to call your ideas stupid Come on we need to find someone so maybe it’s time to go…” he gasped as if in total shock, “to the library” he ended in an exaggerated whisper.<br/><br/>He gently released her and stood, swinging his pack across his back. His hand held out to help Joce up from the ground. His eyes locked on hers.
