     ”… This has to be a dream.”

     James grins up at the redhead hovering above him, fingers reaching out greedily to caress her cheek.  She looks more ethereal than usual in the glow of the morning light, his shirt hanging loosely from her shoulders as the sun creates a fiery halo around her head; no one can blame him for forgetting how to breathe for a moment.

     He curls an arm around Lily’s waist and yanks her into bed with him, reveling in the giggles he elicits with his action.  ”You surely much be an angel,” the boy hums, pressing a kiss to her collar bone delicately.  ”I find it hard to believe that any creature of Earth is as beautiful as you.”

     Trailing kisses up her throat, James hovers just a few centimeters from her lips, brushing her hair over her shoulder.  There’s a moment that passes between them, one that reminds James everything he adores about the girl so carefully wrapped in his embrace, and he swears his heart swells so much it’s bound to burst.

     Just before he closes the gap between their lips, he bumps his nose to hers and whispers, “Alright, Evans?”

Contrary to popular belief, there weren't many things that Marlene McKinnon actually hated. However, this was one of them. Not Hogwarts—even in her angriest of days, she couldn't hate Hogwarts—but this... this sickness that was spreading inside. She wishes she could say it had all started with that fucking wall, but that would be a lie: it had been there for years, decades, centuries—  since the beginning, if the tales of Salazar Slytherin and the Hogwarts Founders held a lick of truth. Marlene herself had always been aware of it—someone as loud and unrepentant about her friendships and beliefs as she; how couldn't she be?—and had always been ready to step in with a quick hex or a well-timed fist to the gut when needed, but this—this was something else entirely.

For one thing, there was no way a student could have done this. At least, not alone. Marlene hated the idea of a student doing this, of Hogwarts being betrayed by one of its own, but part of her had to front up to the fact that there were students who, if they didn't have a hand in it themselves, supported it entirely and would have liked to have a hand in it, as sickening as she found it.

Secondly, this was a whole new level. This wasn't just hatred; this was intimidation, fear, murder and Death Eaters. Marlene knew pretty much what the Ministry knew—other than what the top echelons of Aurors and Unspeakables kept secret from the rest, if anything—because of her father's diplomat position and his unwavering trust in his children, and it—frankly, it washed over her in a cold wave, because the concept was just so horrifying. The worst part was that it actually made sense; as in, as much as Marlene abhorred it and found it senseless, the whole thing struck her as realistic because she knew that circle, damn it, and those beliefs spawning a terror movement such as this wasn't an idea as ludicrous as she wished it was.

As much as this concerned Marlene, it made her angry because it was dangerous to a hell of a lot more people than just her. She didn't doubt that this would be a problem for her personally at some point, but she already considered it a personal problem, because they had taken the first step towards attaching the innocent: Ted, Mary, Lily—Godric, Lily. Lily Evans, Head Girl of Hogwarts. Lily Evans, lionheart. Lily Evans, muggleborn and a better witch than pretty much every single one of those supremacist fucks. Lily Evans, earner of their jealousy and resentment because she was just so worthy, and they hated that their perceived inferior was their better in every way other than blood status. Lily Evans, Marlene's best friend and the girl she would die to protect, the girl she would quite possibly kill for. Marlene couldn't imagine killing anybody, but if it was the only thing she could do to protect Lily Evans, she might actually be able to do it.

Still, this was about Lily Evans: muggleborn, Head Girl, watched and whispered about by the entire fucking school, and probably scared out of her mind. Marlene had been exchanging some words with James in the corner—terse, quiet, heated, because they were both passionate souls whose circle of loved ones to protect tended to overlap, because they recognised the legitimacy of this concern, because they knew better than to alert the world to their thoughts when some of them were already too scared to sleep—but as soon as she had stopped, she had turned back to Lily, leaning back into the crook of the window sill where she was perched, watching the redhead who leaned on the same sill.

"We'll get them," she said quietly. "We'll stop them, and they won't hurt your family, because—because we won't let them," she said fiercely in the same quiet tone. We, not they. Marlene was of the opinion that the Ministry had to have been aware of such a threat for years and had either been willfully ignorant or woefully incapable of dealing with it; she wasn't sure which was worse. A willfully ignorant Ministry deserved no respect from its people, but a woefully incapable one did not bode well for the country, nor the fates of those who decided to pick up their slack—unless they were just wondrously incompetent, in which case, she would not be surprised, but disgusted. Still, she knew better than to rely on them—there were some good 'uns, like her father and that crazy Auror Moody, but not enough—so she decided to approach this as if she was relying on the only people she could trust with something as important as the lives of her loved ones: the wolf pack.
