Little Wonders || Emm & James

prettywitty-vancey:

James hugged her a little too hard and she didn’t care. It wasn’t that unusual- they were in the middle of a war and who knew when they’d see each other next. Besides, it was James. She’d always had a fondness for his stupid pranks and his even stupider face. He and the others were also so stupid reckless. It made Emm hug back just as hard.

“You too, James.” Seeing her friends alive meant she wasn’t seeing them dead, and that’s what kept her going. That fact alone. She pulled back and grinned at him with watery eyes. “Parenthood suits you. I wasn’t sure if it would or not.”

He could recall the talks they had throughout school. The times they shared and things they'd done. It all seemed like a lifetime ago now. Parenthood had changed him. War had changed him. Hell, it had changed them all. Somewhere underneath it all, he was still the same reckless, cocky, fun-loving James Potter, but now he was for lack of any other term -- mature.

Laughing at her statement, he looked down at himself - the shirt he wore was crumpled a bit, pants having a stain on them from earlier that morning when Harry had spit up. Something so mundane in the thick of it all. Something so wonderful. So natural.

"Yeah, well. You and me both on that one." Closing the door, he beckoned her further into the house. "Lily's still sleeping, but Harry should be up any minute. You want anything to drink before he does? I had thought about getting the kettle on anyway."

Little Wonders || Emm & James

prettywitty-vancey:.

When she’d first graduated, Emmeline could remember how eager she had been for her internship and eventual residency at St. Mungo’s, how much she had wanted to finally help people. Now less than a year in and she spent her days elbows deep in sick and bedpans and the sounds of people dying. Turns out magic can’t fix everything. Death Eaters had started getting more creative, and there was more than one way to kill someone. She had cauterized so many wounds.

At least she had something brighter to look forward to tonight. Dorcas was out on a mission again, yeah, Benjy was still recovering and debriefing from his last stint, and Kingsley had more Auror training, but she’d get to meet Harry. Emm didn’t have training for the maternity ward yet. She hadn’t been able to see him all newborn and screaming. It had been so long since she’d held a baby. Knowing her friends created the baby made all the more special.

She Apparated just outside Godric’s Hollow and made her way over to the Potter’s small house. Emm hadn’t seen James or Lily in months. Hopefully she didn’t look as tired as she felt. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.

Looking up at the sound of the knock, something of a grin began to form on James' face. It had been too long since they'd seen one another, really -- since he'd seen much of anyone, really. Every now and again he'd try to go off and help on missions when he could... but Harry took up a lot of time, and he wanted to balance things, knowing that Lily needed to be home with the baby. Still, if he were being honest with himself, he missed being James. The reckless one. The pranker. The one who had it all in his head that he'd go headfirst into this war and not back down until it was the very end of it all. Not that he would trade anything for Harry. Or Lily. Which made him feel a little guilty about said thoughts.

Making his way towards the door, it was almost automatic that his hand when to his hair -- an almost long forgotten trait from his yesteryears. Opening up the door for her, James' smile grew wider -- she certainly was a sight for sore eyes. With a quick beckoning motion, he stepped back to give her room to come in, just before pulling her into a tight hug.

"It's good to see you Emm." His words were muffled a little, into the hug, but he meant them. Every bit of them.

Little Wonders || Emm & James

@prettywitty-vancey

There was only so much to celebrate.

It was a grim truth, really, but with all that had been going on -- people had to find their silver linings in the moment, the rare times of peace when they could really shine. Marriages were rushed, maybe in passion, maybe in fear. Or some kind of mixture in between. Families grew closer, some torn apart. It was a dark world and teenage dreams didn't seem to have a safe place to land.

But that was the thing about dreams. They can change. Evolve with the growth and revelations of a person. In all honesty, James had been both excited and terrified to learn when Lily had become pregnant. In any other world, a child would have been welcomed - celebrated in a grand gesture with friends, family, and laughter. Not now. Sure, there were those that visited, wanting to meet the new addition - but it wasn't often. With a war, people lost touch or terrible news seemed to spread faster than anything joyous.

Which only forged James' resolve. Harry was his new dream. Not in the sense of him simply being there -- but of his son being a light in an otherwise terribly dark world. To have him and any other child brought into the world even in all of it's adversities, strive. Survive and reclaim it into something all of thier own. That they wouldn't have to know the ravages of war. The pain. The loss. Godric, how James hoped it could be that way.

Maybe it was too many nights of too little sleep driving those thoughts.

The soft stirring of the infant caused James to pull himself from his thoughts and still in his actions of picking up the living room a bit. Listening for a moment, the baby had quieted and he returned to retrieve the fallen plush from the floor. While he didn't think she'd mind in the least, James knew that Lily would want the house at least a little tidy for Emm's visit with them this afternoon. Letting his wife and child sleep, he had to smile to himself a little at the thought. It'd be good to see her.

Please draw some Jily! 😱 I'm OBSESSED with your art by the way 😍

i was marvelling over how much i love james and lily’s dynamic, and it turned into me thinking up this interaction, somewhere around the time of their first date.

“spontaneous dancing, james, really? do you think i’m going to be swept off my feet by your maneuvers?”

“maneuvers? why, you make it sound as though i have some complicated plan in mind to woo you and plot the course of our blossoming relationship.”

“and you’d know nothing about a plan like that?”

“certainly not. but i bet it doesn’t hurt my case that i’m so devilishly suave and handsome?”
