“But I have seen the same. I know the shame in your defeat.”
But it’s Marlene realising that Lily has to same feelings for boys as her.
Marlene: is he the one that is so fucking insufferably annoying and never shuts the fuck up and has never been hit it his entire life?
Lily: .. I wouldn’t say that, but if I were going to say that, I would say it about him.
Lily potter is sitting in the corner, of her baby’s bedroom, by the door trying to calm and shush the both of them, while she hears James going down, because of Peter. She can hear Voldemort ordering Pete to go upstairs.
She knows she won’t live, she knows this is her last day. She suddenly thinks back to her sister, saying this, magic, would be the death of her. Oh god, she was right.
Peter opens the door and turns around to meet Pete’s eyes. (It’s Pete’s eyes, but it isn’t Pete.)
Then it clicks in Lily’s mind: he did it. He was the spy, the traitor, the one who killed Marlene. Suddenly she thinks;
She’s hiding in the corner of a room, sobbing trying to shush herself, she knows her family is dead, and she knows she won’t survive.
And now she knows how Marlene McKinnon felt, Now she knows how Joan of Arc felt.
