where: the potter's who: @heartofgoldandfire

Marlene had reached the point where even her own flat felt too quiet. Every day was the same: patrols, complaints, people looking at her as though she'd personally written the blasted curfew into law. She was tired of arguing with strangers and even more tired of pretending she could leave it all at the Ministry doors, plus she hadn't seen Lily properly since the Burke Gala and she'd decided enough was enough.

By the time evening settled over the city, the witch was standing outside the Potters' front door with an overnight bag hanging from one shoulder. Curfew meant her friend couldn't exactly pop over for a few hours, so the blonde had solved the problem the only sensible way she knew. "I'm stealing you for the night," she announced as soon as Lily answered, lifting the bag in explanation. "James can survive one evening with the boys instead. I need my best friend, a bottle of that muggle wine of yours, and at least six hours where nobody mentions the Ministry unless it's to make fun of it." She let a beat pass before a hopeful smile tugged at her lips and she pressed her hands together as if praying, a dramatical plea. "Please tell me you're free."

Oi! É aqui que tão precisando de uma boa dose da nossa velha amiga vodca?

"I suppose I could double up on the recipe to make enough for everyone," Lucy considered, doing the mental maths as she tried to figure out how to make sure she baked enough for the whole family and then some. "I usually have more than enough for everyone but I also usually bake more variety. This year I don't have that same amount of time so I'm just nervous I guess," she sighed. "Do you want to help?"

Antagonising Lord Voldemort in a proper war was something that few did and lived to tell the story. The Dark Lord always made sure that everyone of his enemies either perished or feared him, and at the moment James feared nothing else than Voldemort taking his family away. 

They had spoken about it, not just amongst themselves but with the others, and the conclusion was clear, they needed to go into hiding. 

It was hard, not only because James wanted to be out there, trying to help with anything he could, but because he had too much energy to be settled in a little house somewhere in England, not able to see much or any of his chosen family. 

The days became a blur, and he tried his best to help in everything Lily might want or need, he studied in case they had to do a home delivery, he went on craving runs, he fixed the house, and made sure that every charm and spell was on and active. He even took gardening, that way he could help with some of Lily’s ingredients and not be always thinking of the war going outside of their little bubble.

He had been spending some time taking some of the plants needed for the next batch of potions, taking his gloves out he stepped inside the house and looked at his heavily pregnant wife leaning over the cauldron. 

“Are we sure the fumes are good for the baby?” he asked half teasing, knowing that Lily was trying to do her best to keep herself distracted.

"Hey Lily," she smiled at her coworker in passing. "You busy right now? I'm on my way to help out at the library for a bit. Apparently the librarian's got their work cut out for them with all the books being returned after the summer holidays," Trinity explained. "Do you want to come with? If you're not too busy of course."

An Unexpected Visit

who: @fauvehoof where: St. Mungo's when: Mid-January - midnight

Severus was much more careful nowadays than ever before. There were many people watching from every corner - paranoid, fearful, uncertain, and so much more. Thus, he had taken to walking primarily in the shadows, blending in with his darker clothing and black eyes. And, when he could and absolutely needed to, apparating from his home to his destination. Especially when he didn’t want to be discovered, or bothered, by his new comrades.

Which was exactly what he did that led him into the lobby of St. Mungo’s that morning. With him, Severus had a large, wooden case in his arms. In it contained various elixirs and rare healing solutions he had freshly brewed from the ingredients he had gathered on his trip outside the country the past couple weeks. While he explained such to the head mediwitch, Severus could hear other nurses bustling about - whispering such things as "that poor Potter girl..." and immediately his attention was drawn to that. Of course, they wouldn't provide him with any information due to their regulations, but Severus collected enough to garner concern and another visit he'd make later that night...

He had come back with a mission well on his mind, sticking to the shadows as he made his way through the hospitals halls swiftly. From what he had gathered, Lily - Lily Potter, he thought bitterly - had been greatly injured. While she was very much on the other side of the war, and Severus had done much on his own too, he knew in his heart of hearts that she would always be his achilles heel. So much so, that Snape was willing to face whomever was at her beside, and go toe-to-toe, just so he could see her; make sure his vicious comrades didn't hurt her too badly. Heal her, if she wasn't being properly treated. But none of that mattered. Not until, finally, Severus took one step inside her room.

"Lily?" his voice called out in a hushed whisper.

where: Lily and James’ Residence 

when: June 1979. 

who : @fauvehoof​

Since leaving Hogwarts, Peter had been well aware of how fast time moved. It had only been over a year but even in such a short space of time, major change had already occurred.  Peter and Mary had just moved in together, living blissfully in a humble abode of their own.  The past few weeks had been filled with joy for the young man, the possibility of hope. That just because they had left Hogwarts, it didn’t mean that their friendship would fizzle out.  Mornings and afternoons were spent at the Leaky Cauldron on the opening shift, evening were spent either with his friends enjoying a cold pint or entering into a sense of domestic bliss with Mary.  His cheeks practically hurt from smiling so much. 

A happiness that had only improved at the news of James Potter, his best friend, getting engaged to Lily, another one of his best friends.  Knocking on the door of the soon to be - Potter residence. A small bottle of champagne and a present box in his hand. Mary and Peter had already selected a joint gift,  what lay in his hand was just a token gesture from Peter. 

“Morning, Lil.” Peter greeted warmly, a smile on his face.  “Heard the news,” raising the gifts that in his hand. “Do you realise what you’ve signed up for? A full lifetime of listening to that eejit rattle on the Montrose Magpies.”

“I’m surprised you could find me under all these papers,” Lyra sighed, throwing her arms down in defeat and causing some stray sheets of work to fly up. With a gesture of her hand the papers returned to their stacks, but she looked to Lily hopelessly. “I know, I know I was asking for more work. I just wish it was field work instead of... this.”
