au_muses: When was the last time you laughed? [january]
Do you know incredibly difficult it is for me to not laugh when I have Sirius and Harry around? It's nearly impossible, really. Not that I have ever tried to see how long I can hold my laughter for, but after so many years I know well enough that having them around makes it very easy for me to do so.
When Harry was not in school yet, and I was the one visiting them, I did laugh even without them around but not quite as often or easily. For me to be that comfortable around someone so I can truly be myself is very difficult, you see. But Sirius knows me better than... Well, I think he may actually know me better than I know myself at times. It used to be a bit frightening just how well he could see through me, but I am rather grateful that he does. And Harry knows me very well also. Almost as well as Sirius, but I am not surprised at all. Best of all, I don't mind it. We make each other laugh sometimes at the smallest things, or we tease each other, and laughing just...happens. It's easy, and it is natural, and that just goes to show how comfortable we are around each other, I believe. They brighten up my days, even when I feel at my worst. They...are my family.
Going back to the original question, I'm afraid I cannot possibly tell you the last time I laughed because I was not paying that much attention to that. I was simply enjoying myself. But I can safely say, since my family now lives in the same castle that I do... I laugh once a day, at the very least. It is truly one of the best feelings in the world.
