Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

               To have her sister back.                                   Lily cannot see a way to be once again close to her                      sister for most of her life, and it tears her apart. In her eyes,                     a wish might be the only way she can have Tuney back.                                   To have always been there for Harry                                    I think this is very self-explanatory. She would not                      have made any other choice than the one she did that night                      to  sacrifice  herself and save Harry, but in her ideal world,                      she never had to make  that choice, and  she  was  always                      there  for  Harry,  his  entire  life,  until she was  old  and  a                       great-grandmother twenty times over.               That Severus and she had not parted ways                              Another lose she regrets. She almost feels bad about                        this one, because somehow it’s depriving Severus of his                        own free  will in the matter.  Really,  she wishes Severus                         had  chosen  differently  in  life,  in  a  way that  was  less                         poisonous to their friendship.

time for a random meme pls and thank i think this qualifies as fluff ✿

Send ✿ for a Kiss | 11 for a gentle kiss

        A sick Severus was a particularly grumpy Severus. The only thing is        that it  was hard for  him to glower  and scowl when  he sniffling and        coughing and  sneezing every two  seconds,  with his  face  swollen        and  puffy, and  the  blankets  pulled up  to his  chin.  In the  end,  a         sick Severus  was  a  hiding  Severus,  because  a   sick  Severus's        scowl was more of a adorable pout.                       It  was  for that  pouting scowl  of  adorableness   that  Lily  had                      been  running back  and forth all  the day, closing  the windows                      because  it was  too bright,  opening them  because he couldn't                       read in the lamp light, making soup, making more soup, making                      hot chocolate, remaking the  hot chocolate because it   'smelled                      like a marshmallows'   even though he hadn't been able to smell                      anything for two days.            It was all  worth it though,  when Severus poked his head out           over  the top of the  blanket   and mumbled  something which           she understood as his version of a 'Thank you Lily, I love you'           It  was  probably just a   'The soup was good',  but  she'd take            what she could get. Grinning, she pressed a gentle kiss to his           forehead.

                 "  I love you too, Severus. "

"Another fight?"

" Are you offering? "                Offering like she had a choice. Like there was a choice for her to make on whether to fight or not. Like it wasn't made for her by that look in their eyes, the one that said she had a fraction of a second before the first curse was cast, and they expected her to drop easy, go down without a fight, because she was Muggleborn, she was Mudblood, and therefore worthless.                 Was it only wishful thinking which made her think it was a look strangely absent from the younger Black's eyes.                  "        because I've had enough for the day, thank you." It came with a bitter laugh that held no mirth and hung awkwardly in the ashy air of the recent battle field. Anywhere that wasn't burnt to ash was inches deep in mud. The exhaustion was universal, seeping out of the ground as if being pushed out by the blood, and finding refuge in their bones instead. It showed in Lily's eyes as she looked up at Regulus, thinking that she ought to do something, cast something, unsure of what he was doing, but too tired to do anything except say.                " I don't want a fight with you, Regulus. And you don't want a fight with me. We have other enemies we'd rather find. Or either go find yours, or sit down and just breath for a moment with me."

"Why are you so calm about this?"

            She had been calm and steady, her expression neutral the entire time. Which had been a while -- his efforts to try and find the right words for this had taken a while. Vaguely, she wondered for a moment how the others had ever gotten it out of him in the first place.         Then it hit her. They hadn't. The Marauders simply hadn't waited for him to come to them to explain, like she had. They'd figured it out on their own, and like the bumbling, overly eager dolts that they were, lumped themselves onto Remus with their own revelation, and probably held on for the ensuing ride for dear life.            ( Why could she imagine them all laughing the entire time as they struggled to hold on? Like it was one of those American Western bull ride things. )

           It was probably what he'd needed from them, but what he needed from her was something all together different. She'd known that for a long time. As long as she'd known the other thing, too. Thus she had waited.                  & waited.                              & waited.            It was hard waiting, and maybe she'd gotten a little impatient and forgotten the order of these things, the proper order they needed to have happened, so the first kiss had happened before everything else, and then she'd flashed her hand of knowing way too soon. She might have been able to stop him from running away completely, but he'd still pulled back in a way she was painfully concious off. 

           So she had made a daring move. Bribed Peter to bring along a chunk of her mother's peppermint fudge on whatever adventure they went on every month ( they were so unsubtle about it, really, it seemed a miracle to her that more people didn't know ) with the promise that if he gave it to Remus, she'd put in a good word for him with Sarah.             Sure enough, a few days after the full moon and found Remus returned to classes, and then had him finding her up on the Astronomy Tower at sunset. He'd started to explain, and she'd just stayed quiet, open and understanding, as she'd planned on being since the start. Lily know it wasn't what he would have expected, he expected the worse, but that was why she couldn't give it to him.             That didn't make the question any less surprising though.

             " . . . because I've know. It's not a surprise to me, Remus. I was only ever waiting for you to tell me yourself. In your own time." Lily gave him a soft smile, not at all threatening. "I didn't expect it to take so long. I shouldn't have gotten frustrated, I know, but           "             This was the hardest part.            "           but I couldn't let you turn away a chance for, for something, just because you don't think you deserve it."
