[About a week before Lily turned 18...]

Lorraine: Lily, I need to get Jurassic Ginko leaves, come on.

Lily: [looks up from her collection, nods and starts following Lorraine to the train station]

Lily: Mom, I'll be safe at home, you don't have to-

Lorraine: I don't trust them. We're going together.

[They draw closer and closer to the train station. Lily doesn't understand why, but she has a bad feeling...]

Lily: ... Mom?

Lorraine: Yes, love?

Lily: What are we getting Jurassic Ginko leaves for?

Lorraine: Your birthday is in a week! So I want to make you a delicacy of a birthday meal!

Lily: You always made my meals with fruits and leaves from around here though. I'm not complaining! You make the best food, but...

Lorraine: Can't I do something special for you for your eighteenth birthday?

[The pause at the station, waiting for a train to pull up. Lily nervously fiddles around as Lorraine paces back and forth.]

Lily: ... Mom? You look nervous.

Lorraine: Me? Oh no! I'm fine, I just... planning has been...

Lily: You don't have to do something big for me, mom. I'm okay with something smaller, don't stress yourself.

Lorraine: But... I love you, Lily. And I want to do something that'll make you know how much I love you.

Lily, mustering courage: Then... can I make a req-

[A train whistle goes off. The Dinosaur Train rolls into the station.]

Tabitha: All aboard! Hello, Mrs. Lorraine. Hello, Lily! You're still cute as a button, I see-

Lorraine: Let's go, Lily. [Boards the train without even greeting Tabitha]

Tabitha: Well... um... Okay.

Lily: [smiles apologetically at Tabitha as she boards the train]

Tabitha: All aboard! Hang onto your hats! Gangway! [Closes the door]

[The train starts moving.]

Tabitha: Tickets! Tickets please!

Lorraine: [hands Tabitha the tickets]

Tabitha: Ooooh! What's the occasion to go all the way to-

Lorraine: -Birthday preparations. My special girl deserves the best birthday possible!

Tabitha, who's in on Lily and Don's escape plans but not at all spilling in: I'm sure it'll be a birthday to remember! Lily here is such a sweet young lass.

Lily: [smiles shyly] Tha-thank you, Mrs. Conductor!

[The train continues down the tracks, entering a time tunnel...]

[Later...]

Tabitha: Next stop, Laramidia City Station! Next stop, Laramidia! The Dinosaur Big City!

Lorraine: Lily. I just need to relieve myself in the station bathrooms. You're coming with me.

Lily: Oh. Okay.

[They both leave and approach the train station. Strangely, Lorraine slips behind the building, to the side that faces some dense trees and rocks that leads deeper into the city...]

Lily: You don't like the restrooms either?

Lorraine: Lily, come with me.

Lily, immediately alert: Wh-huh?

Lorraine: You. My daughter. Come with me. We're heading into the city.

Lily: Mom... I'm confused. You said we were having a bathroom break, and now we're going into the city? What about the leaves-

Lorraine: I'll get you the leaves. I'll get you anything you want! I'll give you everything your heart desires! But come with me!

Lily: M-mom, you're scaring me-

Lorraine: Ginko!

[When Lorraine issues the code word, a sauropod emerges from the trees and stands right over Lily. The tail whip is poised as a means of enforcing obedience, and Lily is between four powerful legs.]

Lily, tearing up: Mom! What's going on!?

Lorraine: Don't you speak to me like that! You're coming with me! Without the T-Rex maintaining territory, Pteranodon Terrace isn't our safest option anymore! And do you think I'm blind? I know you're planning on running away with our enemies the moment you're eighteen! I'm not letting that happen! I won't let them hurt you, anyone hurt you! I'll protect you! Your father's death won't be in vein! We're going far away, just the two of us, safe as a family, forever and ever!

Lily: No-

Sauropod, rumbling threateningly: She paid us handsomely for this already. You'd better be a cooperative escort...

Lily: [winces, looking away from the thug and lowering her head in defeat] ... I'll come with you.

Lorraine: Like I said, Lily, I love you. I'd do anything to keep you safe. Come with me.

[The three start to go deeper into the city. Lily looks behind at the station once before disappearing from sight.]

Sirius meeting James and Lily in the Afterlife

James: Are you serious? Harry's all alone now

Sirius: ...

Lily: oh no

Sirius: I'm dead sirius

[i-gave-all-my-stds-to-charity]

Okay, Albus telling Harry that Scorpius was the most important person in his life was obviously like really romantic and a big deal BUT!!! What hits harder for me is "He might ALWAYS be the most important."

Because like, when you're 14, your best friend being the most important person in your life makes sense and isn't inherently romantic. But as an adult?? A lot of the time when people get older the most important people in their life are their nuclear families. LIKE YOUR SPOUSE😱😱😱. (Unless you are not interested in romance or marriage of course)

So like...?? He's basically saying he's gonna marry Scorpius one day lmao, so gay, live laugh love it

"Scorpius is my boyfriend...he might ALWAYS be my boyfriend" was what he was saying in his head- source: trust me bro🤓☝️

Oh! Thank you for playing a free-ask game right after I've discovered a new trope I love, thanks to @kay-elle-cee 😍

Jily: legilimency....smutty thoughts are breached 👀 😈 preferably pre-relationship 😉

Thanks Liz 😘😘😘

HI! I'm finally getting around to answering the rest of these. Better late than never lol. (And a big thanks to @kay-elle-cee for creating this trope!)

Their DADA teacher was very impressed with them. That was how Lily Evans and James Potter found themselves in the DADA classroom after class had ended trying to read each other's minds.

Lily knew that Legilimency wasn't 'mind reading' and that the term was offensive to those who serious practiced it, but that was what she would always think of it as.

"What food am I thinking of?" James asked, his eyes trained on hers and a serious expression on his face.

"Pizza," she said without actually trying to read his mind.

"Close. Pineapples."

Lily laughed. "How is that close to pizza?"

"You can put pineapples on pizza."

Since last month, they'd been staying after class for private lessons with Professor Holden. Lily wasn't sure they were paying off, but she was certain that she liked spending time with James.

"Let me try," James said, leaning his forearms on the table and staring into her eyes. The best part of her day was when she got to sit in this classroom and study the brown and green specs within his eyes. Lily had come to the conclusion that James had the most beautiful eyes in the world.

And nice forearms.

Lily was always noticing James' forearms, toned from years of Quidditch. It was especially easy to get distracted by them in class when he'd run his fingers through his hair or when he'd tense up and she could see every ridge in his muscles.

Lily pressed her thighs together.

"I didn't realize muscle ridges turned you on."

It was clear to see that James was confused by the furrow in his brow, but he'd read her mind clear as day, and now Lily had to go sink into her bed in utter mortification. Her cheeks blooming red, she quickly stood up and grabbed her books.

"I'm late for a study session with Mary," she said.

"Lily, wait!" James was standing up, and she wished that a sinkhole would up on her right now.

"See you later, James!" she called as she briskly walked out of the classroom.

Lily with 41!

(Oh you would lol making me trawl my Lily notes for her favorite food. <3)

The Lily dropped into her safe house basement with heavy footsteps and heavier thoughts. The job had gone well enough, minus the broken arm now in a sling. She sighed, dropping her gear off in the corner and set a pot to boil over some agitated fire crystals. Quickly preparing some dry noodles, kernal corn, lettuce and plenty of spices nearby, the Lily grumbles under her breath about being slow and clumsy at the well practiced routine. Leaving the counter, she then kneeled in front of her desk, put a piece of paper in front of her and grabbed her ink. The discomfort of her arm was distracting, so she tried to weave that into her sketch.

Minutes pass as the image on the paper still seems to not take form. The pot, now boiling, lets loose its steam that triggers a small simple bell over it. The Lily, turning away from her work to look at the pot in quiet frustration, gets up and takes out the prepared food, carefully dropping each into the pot. She stirs the noodles round and round, stopping to add the various spices around her culinary work station. Every time she bumped her broken arm, the pain was nearly insurmountable, the temporary cast she set it in barely holding together at this point.

However, the meal quickly became the as cooked as it should be. The Lily tossed a water crystal into the small pile of fire shards to soothe their anger and ladled out a pipping hot bowl of the ramen she so enjoyed. Gingerly she took the bowl back to her desk, kneeling down once more to enjoy her meal. Looking at the sketch one more time, she noticed with a small smile that she had sketched out the very thing that she was now about to it. It truly was her comfort food.
