The Lionhearted Girl

Lily Evans. My life definitely isn't what I thought it would be, but all we can do is keep fighting. Giving up means they win.

[bonesofamelia-deactivated201410]

"I’m alright, as well as I can be I suppose. How are you, Lily? I haven’t seen you in ages."

[lilythelionheartedevans]

I'm okay. I had to spend some time resting, but it's okay now."

Leaning his fragile spine against the frame of the bed, Peter tried to focus on the curling smoke in stead of his aching body. He had been in terrible need of a cigarette, a distraction and had because of that ended up summoning a pack with merely a flick of his wand. Smoking in the Hospital Wing was probably not the best idea - he didn’t even want to think about what Poppy would say (although that was not one of his biggest worries) - but he simply didn’t care. Even though everything seemed to hurt, Peter felt numb, and it scared him quite a lot. Everything did, though, so it was no big deal. When he heard someone enter he didn’t look up or say anything, taking another drag in stead of acknowledging the presence of another person.

Lily hadn't been feeling the best the last couple weeks, so she'd not spent a lot of time in the Hospital Wing, but she figured the best she could do now was try to work a shift. Walking in, she scrunched her nose at the odor of cigarette smoke. It was an odor that she didn't like but she was drawn to it, as it was part of her amortentia all at once.  She then walked over to the bed and saw Peter, her hand on her hip. "You really shouldn't do that in here. Be glad I like you and that your stupid best mate made me far too intrigued by that smell."

Can I help you?

[lilythelionheartedevans]

I was just out for a walk and thought I'd say hello.

[marceline-bordeaux]

"B-b-bloody h-hell you s-s-scared m-me!"

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"Are you okay?"

[bonesofamelia-deactivated201410]

"Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you."

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"That's okay. I just was getting some air. How are you?"

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"I didn't see you there. You startled me."

[maggiemcnamee]

Ladies of The Order Of The Phoenix.

It’s true all men must die, but we are not men.

[james-theprongedstag]

Now sounds good. I want to find out if I’m gonna’ be a dad to a little boy or girl.

[lilythelionheartedevans]

I was hoping you'd choose that option, although the other sounds perfect too. But I can resist.  [She took his hand] Come with me. I want to find out too. Our baby's going to be perfect and did I mention you'll get to see him or her too?

[james-theprongedstag]

When can we go? 

[lilythelionheartedevans]

We can go now if you want. It's either that or I'll distract you other ways, but I can resist while we find this out. Do you want to?

[james-theprongedstag]

That’s why I couldn’t leave the cat alone. it wasn’t fair. And… w-we can ? Really?

[lilythelionheartedevans]

I'm glad you rescued him? her? it?  Plus, we can let it stand guard when we're having us time so Sirius doesn't interrupt again.  Yes, we can, you know, if you're not too busy. I figured you wanted to be there.

[james-theprongedstag]

Because there’s a war on. Maybe they didn’t think about keeping the cat any longer.

Well, someone needs to look after it, so we can. We’ll look after it. And what do we need to do?

[lilythelionheartedevans]

You don't just abandon people in times like this, James. That would be like us abandoning our child. We'll take care of it.  Um well, I was talking to Pommy and she was telling me when you have time, we can find out what this baby is.

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

"Merlin-"

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

"Well I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll have water with me from now on. Or at least pumpkin juice." She nodded and shrugged. "I went to St. Mungo’s recently and they gave me some herbs, which have helped. Cumpets though… I’ll keep those in mind."

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"Herbs help a lot too, when you're not feeling your best.  There's some potions in the apothecary in Diagon Alley that help. I think we all go through days where we feel really lightheaded."

[bndaids-a-deactivated20191106]

"Gross. I didn’t need to know that." Marlene grimaced. "Maybe I fancy him. But there’s no way this is a complimentary patronus." She shook her head and sighed. "Merlin, it is isn’t it, Lily?"

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"No but see, you're James sister practically, so I felt the need to tell you, because he sucks and is always busy and yep. Plus, you're one of my best friends and Mary doesn't like talking about James like that either."  She nodded. "Probably so. Me and James have complimentary patronuses and it took me a long time, but I truly believe that's fate for us."

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

"Merlin-"

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

Annabeth blinked, unsure of what to say. “I- No, I’m not ill. I think I just need to start drinking more water, more often. Thanks though. I think I’ll start carrying around water like you do.”

[lilythelionheartedevans]

She smiled at her. "That's the only way to do it. When I leave without water, I always stop off at the Broomsticks for some pumpkin juice." She noticed she looked a bit pale but wasn't about to be intrusive.  "You said you've been lightheaded off and on?  A plain biscuit helps too, like a crumpet. That's what has always helped me when I feel lightheaded."

[bndaids-a-deactivated20191106]

Marlene spun around and shot her friend a stern look. "Not the time Evans. I know you can’t control your fucking hormones at this point, but this is serious. My patronus can’t be a dog, Lils. I don’t even like dogs, let alone prats who act like them.” She then resumed her pacing and fiddled with her wand in her hand.

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"Let's not go there about my hormones.  James has been far too busy for my liking and I'm about to burst."  She then sighed.  "Been there, done that.  You probably do fancy the prat, and you know you do.  It's pointless to resist a prat.  I try and I fail."

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

"Merlin-"

[annabeth-rosmerta-deactivated20]

"I’m fine- I’ve just been lightheaded off and on all day." Annabeth didn’t want to take the water, but she couldn’t deny it either. She gave Lily a small smile before sipping at the water and sighing. "Thank you. That- That’s better."

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"That's never a good sign. I was like that for months."  She then watched her take a drink. "Good.  Do you think that you're ill or something? I'm a healer and if you need me to give you a once over, I don't mind."

[bndaids-a-deactivated20191106]

Marlene pursed her lips and nodded. “There’s a fucking reason I didn’t come to Doe about this. Now keep your mouth shut Evans.” Mar quickly returned to pacing and ran a hand through her hair. “This can not mean what you think it means, Lils.”

[lilythelionheartedevans]

"Oh of course. I'd never say anything about it."  She then watched her friend pace.  "Oh but maybe it does. Maybe your patronuses want to shag each other all night. There is that one position, you know. What's it called again? Doggy Style. Your patronuses would love it, Marls."
