Sirius Black, Lily Evans & James Potter || Circa 1978

They’re walking on the road, away from her parent’s house and toward a place where they could safely Apparate from. Lily’s leading them on, basically urging them on to see how far they’d be willing to walk.

So far she estimates in about a mile, and Sirius is starting to crack.

“C’mon, Evans, this is a bit ridiculous. We’re in the middle of nowhere.”

She laughs, linking her arms through both of theirs. “Nah, just a bit further. Is the mighty Black feeling winded?”

He’s sneering at her, pulling his arm out from between hers, and cuffs James on the ear. “Mate, this is your fault. She’s your insanity.” Now he’s laughing, barely glancing at Sirius as they continue on walking.

“You didn’t have to visit her parents with us, Pads.”

“‘Course he did, James. Who else was he going to mooch off of?” Lily adds, smiling.

“He’s a dog through and through.”

Sirius is scowling now, demanding in a loud voice that they turn around and walk back. He’d have her dad drive them to where they had to go in that car thing he’d seen, because it had to be better than walking all this distance, but Lily is laughing and shaking her head.

“C’mon, Evans, it’s not that far back —”

“Merlin, Sirius, it’s not that much longer this way either —”

“I don’t want to walk further. This is stupid.”

“You’re stupid.”

“Still in first grade, mate?”

And the teasing has turned into a game of tug-of-war, with her being the rope, the two boys pulling on her to get her to choose where to go. Breathless with laughter, it takes her a minute and a lot of pain before she can get out, “we can Apparate from here.”

Sirius immediately stops, turning to her with a glower.

“What?” She’s laughing and can’t seem to stop, and suddenly James is laughing too as Lily rubs her sore arms.

“I need new friends.” Sirius says it loudly, and James snorts. “Go mooch of Remus and Peter.”

“I will. I’ll just leave you two alone. You both need better senses of humor.”

They’re both laughing as Sirius disappears, and James wraps his arm around her waist.

“How long d’you think it’ll be before they’re all at the house, asking to be fed?”

”’Sirius ate all of our food.’” Lily mimicked, and it was amidst more laughter that they too Apparated. It was always good when they could take time out to forget that they were at war.

…they probably think I’m stalking them…

…because I am.

if you post 1000 fucking words and i can use ten words which is completely dialogue you are not going to get a post for years because i’m pissed. it already takes me a long time to post. you don’t want to give me incentive to continue to make you wait, whoops.

“Molly gave me this cookbook. I’ve never been good at household spells, but we not ordering in again. It’s not happening. So I’m doing this.”

“You don’t have to cook, you know.”

“Look! A recipe for brussell sprouts. My favorite. And that’s all it takes to make them?”

-chuckles- “You’re mental.”

how do people make their sites so pretty oh my god

SO PRETTY.

“Mum, mum, look! Look, watch me —”
“Lily!”
It was too late. Lily, who had been jumping up and down next to the small garden in their backyard, had already done it. She had taken a single step for momentum and then had launched herself from the ground. She flew uncommonly far in her jump, and made it entirely past the garden and further. She even landed on her feet perfectly, turning to grant her mother her common smile.
“Lily, I’ve told you, I don’t want you doing things like that.”
“But, mum, it’s not bad…”
“You could get hurt, Lily! What if the next time you do something like that, it doesn’t work? Think of what could happen, Lily.”
“But…”
“Ri, I don’t want to see you hurt.”
“Yes, mum.”

“Bye, daddy.” She said softly, hugging her father fiercely. He was smiling. “You really are my little witch, Lil. I know you’ll make me,” he paused, his eyes trailing to his wife, “us proud. You always do.” He ruffled her hair as the hug ended, and she turned to embrace her mother next. She was smiling, a tear or two escaping her filled eyes. “My baby, off to learn magic. We always knew you were special.” Her eyes were glowing, and Lily took the extra moment to bury her face in her mother’s neck, inhaling the scent of her perfume. This was family, and this was home… and it always would be to her, no matter how great Hogwarts was.

Letting go of her mother, she turned to her sister… and smiled, despite the fight. Petunia, however, did not accept the silent apology. She crossed her arms, looking away determinedly. “Petunia!” their mother admonished, but Petunia did not relent. Lily didn’t stay to see if she would. She picked up the last thing of hers that remained on the platform — the cage containing her already beloved owl, Hermes — and walked bravely onto the train… ignoring the restriction of her chest and throat.

i have a necklace that says get your pepperoni on from this pretzel place and my mom was like “lol it’s saying GET YOUR MEAT ON!” so she turned it into something dirty.

she does this a lot.

lily and james fought using doodles sometimes. they’d draw something (generally something bad happening to the other person) and leave it somewhere with a note in the house. chances were it would never be found or whoever found it wouldn’t be able to tell what was happening, thereby finishing the fight before it could even start.

it was a good system, as long as the notes left with the pictures weren’t too descriptive.

first picture i found, trololol.

Is this even a question? Let’s get real people. Severus of COURSE deserves Lily. For one, Severus has been there from the start. He’s the one who told her she was a witch. He’s the one who told her that she wasn’t different and she was okay when everyone else thought she was weird and “freaky” if…

so this was in the lily evans tag. disregarding the “of COURSE sev deserves lily” i’m just going to bypass that for now.

it doesn’t matter that severus told her she was a witch, or that she wasn’t different or freaky and all of that. lily wasn’t an outcast. she had a sister who was her best friend. if severus hadn’t told her she was a witch, someone else would have. so i don’t see how this point is relevant.

and just because they were childhood friends doesn’t mean shit. children are innocent and naive, and they love without restrictions. it’s as we grow older that we realize these restrictions. that’s generally why childhood loves get married later on; they learned to love each other when there were no restrictions, no rose colored glasses. lily wore rose-colored glasses for severus for years.

and don’t call lily ignorant for “falling in love with the typical, good looking, jerk-off”. how is that ignorant? you fall in love with who you fall in love with. you can’t control it.

and sure, let’s talk about james. james and his friends were the cool-cats of hogwarts. he didn’t just think that. they were extremely popular, one of the reasons he had such a big head. and how were they supposed to know how sweet (?!) or troubled severus was? they were about fifteen, for god’s sake. you can’t expect a ground of fifteen year olds to go out of their way to make friends with a boy who was by their standards scum — practicing dark magic, hearts in his eyes when he looked at lily.

and yes, i do feel bad for severus. so much happened to him that he didn’t deserve. but for the love of god, some of it was his fault and i don’t see how you can justify calling lily ignorant and james an ass.

and james is only interested in lily for the sex? lily was independent enough, strong enough, to stop being friends with her best friend when he went over a line he should never have gone over. i don’t see someone that strong-willed, emotionally, falling in love and marrying some bloke who just wanted her for a fucking shag. that’s thinking pretty low of the girl severus deserves, isn’t it?

lily wasn’t severus’ only friend. perhaps his closest, but not his only one. severus wouldn’t give up the dark arts because he was so enraptured by them. it was his other friends who influenced him to the point where he called lily a mudblood.

lily didn’t leave severus just to go off to marry james. she left severus because he insulted with the worst word invented. it was two years later that she even started fucking dating james, so you can’t even justify that statement.

lily did not leave severus for james. she left severus for calling her a mudblood. she went out with james two years later.

fuck i always sleep for like 12 hours. xD

GOODNIGHT TUMBLR DEARS

I understand, Evans. I mean who could possibly resist me. Certainly not Prongsie. 

It’s true, Lils, the love between us just grows every day.
