a chat and a wine || m & l

Surely it was to be expected that Marlene would be visiting Lily as soon as she had a free moment. It had taken a while for the girl to get herself together. Moving to new lodgings hadn’t always been a smooth transition for Marlene. Not only did it take her a long time to collect all of her things and to come back for items she’d forgotten, but to say goodbye to her family always took a longer amount of time (and lots of hugs). 

When she’d rocked up to her dorm her roommate was already there- her side of the room perfectly done up. Marlene could swear the girl had taken one look at the blonde, turned her head up and decisively made the decision in her mind that she was not worth the time. Still, she tried to persevere- even made the effort to start a conversation. It was about as interesting as a History of Magic lesson about knuts. 

A few moments later Marlene found herself slumping dramatically against Lily’s (or so she assumed’s) door, her head the perfect device to knock on it. 

“Lily?” 

She didn’t think of the consequence had it been somebody else answering the door and instead leant down so her lips were close to the keyhole. 

“Lily Evans.” She sighed into it, eye moving towards the hole to try and get a better view. “I bought wine.”

A Good Family Gossip - Lily & Albus

Albus slipped around another passerby, the odd looks they were giving him all the more enjoyable.  He loved darting through Diagon in muggle wear.  People gave him the most entertaining looks.  He spun a bit on the toe of a Converse, sliding out of the way of an elderly couple who just gave a hrumph as he passed.  

Ahhh made him feel young and full of anger.  He snickered to himself before spying his quarry.  Hard to miss that shock of hair.  

“Right sister dear, mail successfully sent, you have my undivided attention,” he announced with a flourish, dropping an arm over her shoulder and giving it an affectionate and playful squeeze.  “Yes my undivided attention for...whatever it is we’re doing here.  We do have a plan, don’t we?” he asked, looking about with a moment of confusion.  “And by we, I completely mean you.  I’ve not a clue what I’m doing on a good day, let alone my days off,” he replied, clicking his tongue.  “Gossip and ice cream?  Feels like we’re due for a proper catch up.”

second hand news | remus&lily | post first order meeting

There wasn’t much left for Remus to do, after the mingling session that had congregated naturally after the meeting, to sneak outside for a cigarette.

Well, maybe not sneak; he wasn’t sure what the policy was on smoking in the house, really, but Alastor Moody did not seem the kind of man to tolerate such things in his home. Smoke dulls the senses, Remus could already hear him saying gruffly in his head; it drew out a soft snort from him as he circled the house, staying close to the door but finding a clean-enough wall to lean against while he fished out his bad habit.

Sirius and James were still inside, he was sure, and last Remus had heard the pair of them were off to James’s house once the excitement bubbled away. To check on Fleamont, maybe, but most likely to go over everything they’d learned that day by themselves. 

It was; a lot to process, all of it. Remus would be glad for a bit of alone time at their flat to sit with it all before Sirius came home and they bubbled over into giddy, nervous excitement all over again. There was also the immediate now, watching his new comrades - so previously fellow students - filter one by one out of the doors. He assumed plenty of them were apparating, too, judging by the telltale pops coming from the backyard. A floo was set up as well; completely accessible, but only to those who knew where it all was.

He didn’t think he wanted that quiet time just yet, was the thing. Too many thoughts racing in his head - training at the Barns coming up soon, getting assigned nights to come in to headquarters to learn the codes and start studying the maps, dueling practice and more dueling practice - to leave for himself. So when the familiar sight of Lily Evans stepped her way outside the dark old house, Remus immediately grinned, shooting a sharp little whistle her way to catch his friend’s attention.

“Hey, Lils,” he called, beckoning her over before taking one more long drag of his cigarette. He let the smoke trail upward slowly into the gray London afternoon sky, expecting a drop of rain to hit his upturned face. “Where you headed now? Want to walk? I couldn’t eat a bite before,” he nodded his head towards the house, “all that, I was too nervous. I’m starved.”

Songbird || Sasha & Lily

Sasha walked down the hallway with a small smile on her lips. After a few masters giving her a hard time with the spell, she had managed to spend the day almost normally without feelings the effects of the spell too much. She was singing softly to herself without realizing it, caught up in finally feeling more relaxed and comfortable. She decided to walk to the coffee shop and get something sweet to celebrate.

Nothing like a sibling - Albus & Lily

Albus opened the door with a flourish, the cheeky smile growing as he took in his sister.  It had been a moment since he and the other young Potter had taken time to catch up.  Busy days and all that rot.  He leaned on the door and gave here a once over.  

“Darling sister, always a pleasure,” he drawled, teasing like he was some sort of put together host.  There was little doubt she’d see through it.  “Come in, make yourself at home.” He moved into the space, the comfortable studio flat mixing a bit of muggle with a bit of magic.  It was a bother getting it wired for internet and warding his laptop against magic, but there was the costs of the modern world.  “Get you something?  There’s a few bottles here or I can put the kettle on.” Though he most definitely preferred coffee, he had to appeal to those English sensibilities.  

“So did you move back into your old room or did mum let you redecorate one the others?” he asked as he flopped his couch and lounged.

birthday girl | eddie and lily

Eddie had made sure he had the day off for Lilys birthday, he wasn’t sure what her plans were but he was hoping she didn’t have anything on for the day. He was in the kitchen, making breakfast and a pot of coffee to start the day. This was the first birthday he would have with Lily since they had moved from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend so he wanted to make sure he was doing something special for her. Her presents were set up for the day and he had booked dinner for them he hoped she would like. He slowly crept back into his room and smiled at Lily. “Happy birthday, babe.” He said, putting the tray down on her lap and kissing the side of her head.

family secrets | past

Teddy wasn’t sure what he was expecting when arrived home from spending the holidays with his grandmother and the Malfoys, but it definitely wasn’t this. The second he got home, his foot had barely touched the bottom stair leading up to his room before his father pulled him into his office to tell him what happened while he was gone. Lily found out was all Harry had to say to him. Teddy barely registered anything else, that was all he needed to hear.

He quietly made his way to his little sister’s room, knocking once before opening the door a little to look inside. “Hi,” Teddy said, giving her a small smile as he walked in, shutting the door behind him. He was close to his brothers, sure enough, but he’d always had a different relationship with Lily. Teddy let out a breath as he walked over to her bed and sat on the end of it. “Lil...” He sighed and looked at her, knowing this wouldn’t be easy. Teddy never had a problem with being adopted, but Harry made the decision not to talk about it unless it was just the two of them because he said he didn’t want Teddy to be treated any differently because of it. That was when he was a kid, but now it didn’t matter as much. Teddy just had two sets of parents - his mum and dad, and Remus and Tonks. But even though he was okay with it, he knew it wasn’t going to sit very well with his eleven year old sister. “Lily, I’m so sorry you found out like that. I should have been the one to tell you.” He worried his lip and paused for a brief moment. “But you know this doesn’t change anything.”

Let’s go to the beach, beach || Jily ||Dec ‘77

@fieryevans

“Anywhere at all?” she’d asked, before smiling and deciding she wanted to go to the beach. Neither of them cared that it was the middle of December, or that it was freezing. This was their date, and they’d waited for it for ages, it seemed.

If Lily wanted to go the beach, well.... James was going to take her.  His smile grew to match hers and his hands slid down so that he could tangle his fingers with hers. “On three, alright? One, two...” And they were gone. A few seconds later the pair reappeared down by the water, not another soul in sight (Really, who else would go to the beach in December?).

His hands still in hers, he looked down at Lily with a bright smile. By all accounts, she was gorgeous, and James had never thought otherwise, but looking at her now -freshly kissed, happy, maybe even excited- gods, had anyone ever been more beautiful? “Stop number one, Lils. What first? Sandcastles? Cheesy romantic walk down the shoreline? Throw pebbles at birds? Roll around in the sand and get a little dirty?”
