June Microfic #4 - Loyalty

@jilymicrofics | Ao3 Collection here

Try as she might, Lily couldn’t bring herself to care about the masquerade. It was sure to be a fabulous spectacle, but lately it had all felt like something she watched through a spotty window pane, a thick veil, something that was real and yet not real to her. Not in a way that could touch her. No whining trombone could shake her into a fit of excitement. 

Boring as she might sound, an evening in was the best reward. And a Roaring Twenties bash on campus sucked away time from her favored activities – the ones that actually relaxed her – of reading or lounging on the sofa eating Nutella and apples while Nick whined from the ottoman. Nick never believed he got his share - apples only of course. One bite for her, three bites for him, that was fair in his wide, pleading, puppy eyes. 

Aside from the fact that it would take up entirely too much of her time and stress her more than deadlines on her thesis, she’d spend the entire evening somehow both bored and in fight or flight mode. Not that she can’t have a good time with others – its just if she’s in the mood for a trip back in time, she prefers a good episode of Miss Fisher or a bit of investigation with good old Agatha…maybe she needs murder relax?

Regardless, trying to find an authentic costume that fits, buying a ticket, and the lead up and the recoup. Too too much even if Marlene calls her an old lady. She’s decided it’s a compliment. Old ladies know what they do and don’t want and they aren’t afraid to speak up about it.

And what does Lily want? Cheeseburger and loaded chips.

And what is Lily too cheap to order with the added delivery charge? You guessed it.

So she gives Nick a last bit of apple which he crunches with relish before she tucks the Nutella back in the cupboard, notes the bareness of it overall, and decides she’s definitely motivated enough to brave the elements in pursuit of a burger.

Nick eyes her distrustfully as she moves about the flat, readying to brave the streets in pursuit of greasy deliciousness. She can’t bring herself to resist the look today, so when she’s pulling on her trainers she locks eyes with him. “Nick would you - ,” she pauses as his ears perk, “Like to go out?”

A question which, as expected, instigates a bout of the zoomies for the record books. When he skids to a halt at her feet, little chest heaving, Lily leans down and gives him a peck on the head. “Let's get you ready to go.”

It’s not far, they put a bit of avocado on her burger so she feels healthy, and they have little pup burgers too. She only gets one for Nick on special occasions, or when he looks particularly cute. Which is a very official, almost scientific determination.

It’s not too dark yet, thanks to the longer summer days, and so she and Nick enjoy a quick walk a few blocks down chit chatting about how delicious their snack is going to be. When she mentions the ‘pup burger’ by name, he licks his chops and tightens up his little walk. He’d run if she let him.

Soon enough, the bell is jangling over the door and Nick is leading the way to the queue. There’s another customer in line and Nick definitely wants to sniff his sneakers, but he’s a good boy, so one short tug at his lead and he’s sitting close to her side with his nostrils flaring in interest.

While she’s mid internal debate about a milkshake splurge, the customer in front of her turns around and she’s briefly bewildered by his annoyingly attractive face. Which gets more annoying when he grins at her and then turns the smile toward Nick. “Who is this little cutie?”

Her precious little boy looks at her as if to say ‘well, introduce me,’ so she smiles, “Nick.”

“Has Nick tried the pup burgers here?”

As if in an attempt to answer, Nick lets out a little squeak and squares his stance. Like standing more perfectly will impact Lily’s answer.

“That’s actually half of our mission here. I can’t bring him here unless he’s getting something too.”

“Quite cruel if you do,” the lovely stranger says with a chuckle, “Could I treat the little gent to his supper?”

“A bit forward of you.”

“He’s the one bearing his undercarriage for pets,” the stranger shoots back, squatting down to scratch at Nick’s belly. “How’d you like a pup burger, mate?”

As if in answer, Nick flops his tongue out and bats one paw miming more pets. Nick’s new best mate grins up at Lily, “I think he says ‘yes’.”

“So much for ‘loyalty of a fine dog’,” Lily grumbles as she fights a smile, “Now if you two lovebirds could place your order I’m still famished and no closer to satisfaction.”

“Can I take care of that too?”

Lily nearly chokes on her own tongue as the disgustingly good-looking, generous, good with dogs bloke stands up, waiting for her response.

But she’s no push over, even before Adonis himself, so she leans in close, “No, I don’t know that you can.”

He deflates a bit, but before he can back away, she grabs his lapel, “Not without a name.”

June Microfic #3 - Wink

<3 @jilymicrofics | Ao3 collection here

James Potter, son of Fleamont and Euphemia, Marauder, Sixth Year, Quidditch Captain, Chaser, Transfiguration wiz, is losing his mind. Many people – Remus probably most of all – have accused him of it over the years and admittedly not without justification. But in truth, he never really believed it until he finished giving his entirely theoretical presentation on Animagi Theory, received a curt nod from McGonagall and on his way back to the desk he shared with Sirius - a wink from Lily Evans.

Now, as he has been turning this matter over in his head for the last six hours, he has asked himself many questions, none of which had anything to do with the coursework he was supposed to be mastering. Did she wink at all? Was it a twitch? Did she have something in her eye? Was it a trick of the light? Was it an angry glare? Has he finally gone ‘round the bend?

That last one could be true even if the wink is also true. Honestly either way this goes he may lose his gobstones.

James is jarred from his downward spiral by a dinner roll to the temple. “Oi!”

“Think you’ve re-mashed those potatoes well enough?” Remus says with a quirked brow.

“You’ve got the hand eye coordination of a Puddlemere chaser, Remmy,” James says with a sigh, scooping a fork full of lukewarm potatoes and shoveling it into his mouth. 

“Furry little problems and Quidditch don’t mix too well,” Remus sighs. They’ve had this conversation before, of course. James says they could make it work, Remus says it would only draw attention to his monthly schedule.

He’d get more of a fight from James if he didn’t know Remus loved his books loads more than the idea of darting around the pitch after a quaffle.

James takes another bite of his twice mashed potatoes and sighs, finally relaxed for the first time in half a day, “So who - ”

Before he can ask whatever inane question he intended to posit regarding the upcoming Puddlemere Ballycastle match, the subject of his musings settles down diagonal from him and grabs a serving spoon, “Alright boys?”And as if to make sure he truly loses his mind, she catches his eye, and bloody winks.

June Microfic #2 - Creature

@jilymicrofics <3 | Ao3 Collection

“So Mr. Bingley says Jane is ‘the most beautiful creature he has ever beheld’ –”

Lily narrows her eyes and nods, “Right.”

James crunches down on a slice of cucumber and points an accusing finger at Lily’s chest, “And you say it’s romantic and adorable.”

“Obviously,” Lily folds her arms across her oversized ‘Obstinate Headstrong Girl’ t-shirt and deepens her scowl, “It’s the only reason I don’t want to ring his neck half the series.”

“And yet –”

“Don’t even,” Lily slides the cutting board away from James’s grasping hand, “Don’t even try to argue that calling your wife the ‘creature from the black lagoon’ is even close to Mr. Bingley waxing poetic.”

“You have black goop on your face!”

When he reaches for another slice of cucumber she slaps his hand away. “Snacks are for nice husbands.”

“I was flirting.”

LIly levels a glare at him, scooping her chopped veg onto a plate with a side of tzatziki already in a ramekin, like a healthy, civilized adult.

“It’s true - the kids call it ‘negging’.”

“I call it being a prat.”

James slips an arm around her middle and tugs her back against his chest. “Forgive me?”

With a longsuffering sigh, Lily sets her plate on the table and grabs the tub of face cream, then twists in James’ arms. “Only if you let me make you a creature too.”

June Microfic #1 - Liberation

A/N: Excited for these microfics. Hoping the muse sticks with me haha. Thank you for organizing @jilymicrofics!! <3

---

“It bewitches the mind…esnares the senses…”

“Isn’t that Polyjuice?”

“Amortentia you dunces,” James groans, grabbing Lily’s hand before she can wander off the path again, “And you have drunk neither. You’re just a couple of ijits who decided firewhiskey and the Forbidden Forest make a perfect pair.”

“Hey – Jemmy,” Sirius hisses in what he clearly believes is a whisper, “Let the whiskey liberate your inner mischief manager.”

“I’m clearly already a class A mischief manager,” James grumbles, hooking a finger in Sirius’ nearest belt loop and tugging him in. Hopefully they either purged before he got here or he’ll at least have Remus on assist when they get back to the tower. 

Lily leans against his shoulder, which really shouldn’t make his heart thud while she’s honestly being a bit of a prat, but it does and he’s probably more of an idiot than either of the drunken asses he is currently herding toward the castle. 

While he briefly considers whether doing this as Prongs would be either A) more enjoyable or B) more effective, Lily grasps his tie and nuzzles a little too close for his sanity. “Ja-,” she clears her throat and puts on her best prefect impression, “James, I ‘m not an ‘ijit.’”

She sniffs, a bit haughty in a way that normally is quite effective as an intimidation tactic, at least it is when she can walk in a straight line, “I am ‘s a matter of fact, an ‘eggselent potioneer.’”Sirius stumbles back into James’ side and wraps his arms around James’. “Sluggy said it.”

Must Love Dogs

Chapter 3: Potter, Padfoot, and Pizza

“Marley was very quick to let me know you’re single after showing me several interesting photos of you." James smiled faintly, clearly enjoying the moment far too much. “I was wondering how committed that 'single' label is for you.”

“Don’t start,” Lily immediately pointed a warning finger at him. “This is just a custody exchange.”

James raised both hands in exaggerated innocence. “Custody exchange implies you want something out of this relationship.”

“Your dog,” Lily shot back, “I didn’t mean you, you arrogant prick.” 

“You absolutely did.” James shrugged, entirely unfazed. 

“You’re truly the most arrogant bloke I’ve met,” Lily informed him, trying to deflect.

“So I’ve been told,” James replied cheerfully as his gaze drifted over her again—slow, deliberate, and completely unapologetic. “But I can tell you like being checked out as much as I enjoyed watching you steal my dog in the park,” he added lightly. “So what does that make you? Vain? Egotistical? A pet thief?”
