much ado about nothing, but make it jily and texting and muggle AU
Then: James Potter was a beloved child star and the lead of a popular YA franchise. Lily Evans was just getting her big break as his romantic lead in the third installment. While their chemistry got rave reviews, if the rumors are to be believed the two actors can barely stand to be in the same room together.
Now: Lily’s paid her dues and ten years later she’s the most in-demand actress in Hollywood. And James…after back-to-back flops at the box office, he’s just looking for a break and a chance to prove he is the amazing actor everyone thought he was going to be.

It wasn’t an ideal way to spend a birthday, that was for sure. Sure on television the Oscars looked so glamorous. But, in reality, it just meant you had to wake up early to be poked and prodded, and sometimes quite literally sewn into a suit, and spend several hours without food. Of course, if things had gone a little differently, James might have enjoyed his evening a bit more.

Shreya asked how the hogwarts laundry works and things got out of hand.
No matter how much time Lily Evans spent in the magical world, there were just some things she’d never understand. The laundry at Hogwarts being one of them.

A new year’s gift for Suze.
Lily had always known James Potter was objectively attractive. She’d seen him shirtless enough times in the Quidditch changing rooms to know this. But, thankfully, his personality had done enough to prevent any sort of crushes from forming on him for the last five years. Unfortunately for her, them becoming friends this last term had…complicated things.

Summoning the courage of thousands of Gryffindors before him, James sank to his right knee and pulled the unassuming black velvet box from his pocket. The room around them faded into warm shapes and colours. James didn’t know if Sirius had paused the music or if he’d gone temporarily deaf. It was only the two of them, James thrusting his mum’s ring out towards Lily and Lily looking at James with a bemused sort of grin.
After several long moments, or maybe a half an hour, or possibly several days, Lily spoke.
“James, let’s - we should talk.”
It was supposed to be perfect.

ginny weasley’s 6th year at hogwarts
As soon as they found Dumbledore’s body, some unconscious part of Ginny knew that their relationship would have to end. She knew Harry, who’d lost so many people, couldn’t bear to put her in danger. She understood his reasoning, in fact, if she were in the same position, she might even do the same. But, it wasn’t fair. Why couldn’t she go with them and help take down Voldemort. She, after all, was the closest link to Tom after Harry, having spent a year entwined with his teenage self.

an unexpected conversation between unlikely allies
Of all the things Lavender could have been crying over, Ginny had not expected this. Granted, she knew Ron wanted to end things with Lavender just as much as she’d wanted to end things with Dean. But, she supposed she was a bit preoccupied with her own public break-up to notice Ron’s first romance imploding a mere few feet away. She briefly wondered if Lavender was just as oblivious to her relationship ending as Ginny was to her’s.

ginny and harry reunite after the battle of hogwarts
And it all came crashing back. Harry, Ron, and Hermione returning to Hogwarts. The Order coming to fight. Spells being shot back and forth. Hogwarts crumbling from within, but also fighting back. Voldemort and his army of death swarming the castle. Fred. Remus. Tonks. Harry, dead. Harry, not dead. Bellatrix. And then Voldemort and Harry, facing each other in the Great Hall, where Ginny had eaten every meal during the school year with her friends. Voldemort falling. They’d won. The war was over.
