in case (April 24th prompt; Enchantment) @jilymicrofics

so…I wrote another letter, because they’re so angsty and I am in that kind of mood today…Lily‘s letter to Harry, written sometime before Halloween '81…

My darling Harry,

You can’t imagine how hard it is to write this letter. I have been trying to find the perfect words to make sure that, by the end of it, you‘d understand just how much I love you. Then I realized that no words could ever really hold that much power. I love you so much that not even the word love seems accurate enough.

I know, I’m being corny and it’s probably embarrassing you, but you know…I’m your Mum and so I’m afraid it’s my job to do that.

But seriously, Harry…I really want you to know that there isn’t anybody that stands a chance to rival how much I love you, how utterly and entirely enchanted I am every time you look at me or smile for me.

The moment I’ve first held you, you‘ve taken a hold of my heart. I knew the moment your tiny little fingers grasped mine that I would do absolutely anything to make sure you‘d be okay. Anything, Harry.

I hope you‘ll never have to read this letter, and I promise if we all make it out okay I’ll burn it to bits and you’ll never know it ever existed. But, I’m writing it anyways, just in case. In case I won‘t be there to tell you how much your Dad and I love you myself. In case I won‘t be able to hold your hand to take you to King‘s Cross…and squeeze you too tightly when we’ll have to say goodbye as you board the train to Hogwarts.

Whatever happens, the one thing I know is that you‘re already a wonderful person.

I’m so proud of you Harry. We both are.

I hope that, wherever you are right now and whatever obstacles you might have to face, you know just how loved you are. We’ll always be there, even though it might not seem that way. We’re always with you.

Please be safe, sweetheart. And remember, bravery sometimes means accepting help, instead of trying to take on the world alone. I‘ve learned that thanks to your Dad. I hope you’ll take my word for it, if nothing else, I can give you this advice.

You’ll do great, I know you will, but I’m crossing my fingers anyways, just in case.

And I promise that, wherever I might be, I’ll be watching over you, and cheer proudly for your every success!

With all my love,

Mum

sorry i know…so sappy ,:)

fatherly duties (April 25th prompt; Thrill) @jilymicrofics

“You’re staring, Lil.”

Lily startles, nearly knocking James off his feet as she spins around to face him.

“Woah,” he breathes, steadying her with his hands on her shoulders. “Just me.”

Lily frowns up at him, though she can’t completely hide the slight blush that warms her cheeks, noticing his bemused expression. “I wasn’t staring James, I was just—“

“Staring. Yeah.” James interrupts cheekily, giving her his typical lopsided grin.

“Checking.” Lily corrects him, crossing her arms. “I was just checking if he’s alright.”

James’s smirk softens at that, and is replaced by an understanding smile. “Yeah.” he says quietly, looking past her at the door to Harry’s bedroom, which stands slightly ajar. “I was about to do that, though. One of my fatherly duties.”

Lily can’t help but chuckle at his feigned displeased frown. “Oh, is it now?” she asks amusedly. “And what else, may I ask, would those fatherly duties include?”

James presses a finger to his chin, thinking. “Well…there’s telling horribly flat jokes, for one.” he muses, smirking slightly at Lily’s eye roll.

“Hm, they’re called Dad jokes, I think.” she replies, acting as though this conversation was indeed very serious.

James can hardly hold back a laugh. “Yes, yes, exactly those.” he agrees. “Oh! and there’s also, teaching him all the hidden ways around Hogwarts and—“

Lily slaps his chest. “James Potter!” she hisses quietly. “He’s gotten into more than enough trouble on his own, he definitely doesn’t need your encouragement.”

“Alright, alright.” James sighs, but in all honesty, he does agree with Lily. Hearing about Harry‘s many previous escapes has had them both feeling less than thrilled, to say the least.

“Well, I’ve got another one then,” he adds, walking up closer to the door to peak inside the moon lit room — the room that once belonged to Sirius and now hosts his son. “Protecting him, with my life.”

Lily feels her chest constricting with the entirety of the statement. “With our lives.” she corrects him quietly, leaning her head against his shoulder.

She watches Harry’s sleeping face, and tries her best not to think of the last time they’d vowed to do that — and the last time they almost did do that. And she’d do it again, in a heartbeat.

James wraps his arm around her shoulders, kissing the side of her head.

“Merlin, I’d take a hundred curses for that kid,” he says after a minute. Then, with a breathed chuckle. “Although, you know, I’d still prefer not having to bite the grass anytime soon.”

Lily smiles weakly. “You always hated to eat your greens.”

James turns his head to look down at her, an incredulous expression on his handsome face, before he suddenly bursts out laughing. “Wow.” he snorts. “Can’t believe Prefect and Head Girl Lily Evans would ever pull a pun.”

Lily giggles despite herself, reveling in this moment of quiet solitude. “Oh, she’d never,” she replies with mocked disapproval, before her lips tug into a smile. “But Lily Potter certainly would.”

She thinks James’s smile could probably light the entire bloody house. “I love you, Mrs. Potter.” he smiles, like the love struck teenager he hasn’t been in almost seventeen years.

Lily blushes, although she reckons she really shouldn’t anymore, being in her thirties and all. “I love you too, Mr. Potter.”

A slight creak to their right makes them both turn, and Lily’s blush increases, now twinged with a bit of guilt as she’s met with the confused eyes of their son.

“Dunno what’s more worth asking about,” Harry lulls tiredly, blinking against the light in the hallway. “Why you two’ve been standing in front of my bedroom for the past half hour, or what’s gotten you to giggle on about…?”

Lily bites her lip, sparing Harry a sheepish smile. “Sorry, sweetheart,” she replies genuinely. “We didn’t mean to wake you.”

“We’re just checking on you.” James adds, perhaps unnecessarily.

Lily notices the look of confusion on Harry‘s face. “Uh…right,” he replies slowly. “Checking for what?”

“To know you’re okay.” she explains gently.

Harry raises a brow, lips twitching amusedly. “I’m fine,” he chuckles. “I was asleep, you know…not much I could do that you’d have to check on.”

“It’s just a nice change,” James pipes up, clearly wanting to lighten their conversation. “You — sleeping so quietly, not scurrying around, beating your old man at quidditch.”

Harry snorts. “Yeah, well, I could still beat you, even with my eyes closed.” he retorts jokingly.

James gasps in mock appall; „In your dreams!“

Harry snickers, with that same cheeky glint in his eyes which Lily‘s seen plenty of times before, on James. “Yeah, there too.”

ship james with whoever you want but nothing is gonna hit as hard as jily does. bc james chose to walk right into war, james chose to risk his life because being with lily was worth risking everything.

"Harry described how the figures that had emerged from the wand had prowled the edges of the golden web, how Voldemort had seemed to fear them, how the shadow of Harry's father had told him what to do, how Cedric's had made its final request. At this point, harry found he could not continue." - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

#this is a fucking masterpiece

[jfleamont]

lily evans has blisters on her hand because she can't hold pen/quil correctly and it drives remus mad

#so true

[jfleamont]

A senior in my sorority said that their favorite movie is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" can I assume she is one of us? Is this code for being a marauders fan??

[jfleamont]

At the end of the day, it's just a girl and her jily fic drafts that she constantly rereads as she giggles to herself.

[jfleamont]

someone said that the marauders lived the teenage years the golden trio didn’t and the golden trio lived the adult life the marauders couldn’t and i seriously needed a moment to reflect cause wtf

[jfleamont]

to not like jily is to not like happiness I SAID WHAT I SAIDDDD
