(Part J.4)

Regulus is grinning proudly one second at Lily's beautiful catch and horrified the next. She looked fine and was slowing down perfectly, but then suddenly she looked limp on the broom as it was still going up. The next second, she starts to fall from the broom! "Jame...SIRIUS! LILY" He's shouting, a desperate note to his tone, begging him to catch her. Another second, and he's summoning his now useless broom, jumping to mount it, starting toward her. He didn't even know where James was, but he had to ask. Someone, please, someone catch her. Her fall is slowed down but hasn't stopped. He figures someone probably is using a levitation charm, but it's either not strong enough or they're too far away for it to have its full effect. His eyes are locked on Lily as she descends like a fallen angel. He's not going to get to her on time. Something is blurring his vision. The first thing he sees is a mass of black hair kept in place by a wand, and then he recognizes his brother as he's zooming in to her. "Please please please" he begs his brother now. "Oh, Merlin," Reg breathes out as Sirius finally gets to her and catches her, keeping her firmly to his chest while slowly bringing them to the ground. Reg makes a promise to himself to thank him properly afterward, "thank you for being there," Reg whispers, mostly to himself, as he nears them.

.

Lily starts to come back to herself. Sound is first. "Hey, hey, you okay. I got you." Sirius? "Looks like lover boys are here too, took you two long enough!" Yeah, sounds like Sirius, teasing the boys. Next is her limbs, heavy, she thinks. Someone is holding onto her, Sirius, most likely, but her feet are not on the ground. Is she flying? Oh yeah, the match with Pandora. She's clutching something round in her hand. She starts to open her eyes and comes into contact with gray ones. "Beautiful," she thinks, but something is not right about them. Not hers. She finally registers Sirius fully. He's pale as a ghost but smirking down at her. "Hey...~How you doing?~ You come here often, lady? Let me buy you a drink. " he's making that smolder face of his again, teasing. She laughs, not being able to take Sirius seriously.

She still feels a bit numb, so she doesn't notice anyone else until they touch down. All at once, She's being embraced so firmly she forgot to breathe for a second. The black locks of hair along with his sandlewood smell, "Reggie" she melts into his arms.

Regulus is shaking, shivering, but is holding onto her firmly. She has little to no wiggle room. They are sitting on the ground now. Regulus arms surrounding her. "Lily! Are you okay?" James is running to them. In the next second, he's bear hugging the both of them all at once. "I'm okay, guessing I fell, huh? Is that why Sirius’s so pale?" She hears Sirius chuckling. "Young lady, you have no idea how many of us were having our very first heart stroke a few seconds ago."

"Please don't ever scare me like that again." Reg is whispering into her hair. James is so close that he hears it too, "I'm with Regulus on this one."

"I caught the snitch though, right?" She says and just realizes how she's been keeping her right hand so firmly closed. She slowly opens it, golden ball sitting in her pulm. One, two, three seconds, and then it flies off. She makes startle sounds, and then they're all laughing. Nervous laughter or not, it does well to ease up the mood.

(Continuing to Part J.3 as it still has no title. This is my brainrot Jegulily fic I've been noting here) (still kinda Lily's POV)

They're now 3 to 3, just based on snitch catches. It's been exhilarating so far, but luckily, she hasn't had the need to pull off her special moves.

Somehow, the friendly games started getting serious, but there's no rhyme or reason behind the teams' logic. Evan and Marlene are beaters for Pandora while Barty and Sirius are on her side. James is one of the "Gryffindor" chasers, but since he convinced Pandora to compete and Lily replaced Regulus, they are now on opposing teams. Mary has joined the enemy line alongside her, teaming up with Dorcas as two of her chasers. Remus and Peter are now in the Gryffindor stands next to Regulus. He hasn't moved since lending his broom to her but is following the game and looking for the golden snitch in the sky just like her and Pandora. She's been enjoying competing against Pandora, but also has had her own fun. 'Messing with Potter' as Reg would say. As he's the chaser for her competing team, she's been enjoying distracting him every now and then. She's just positioning herself as a distraction again, just as a bludger comes her way. But Barty deflects that easily by his own bludger and turns to smirk at Sirius proudly after making a face at Evan.

While observing their antics, Lily notices the snitch. It's hovering right above the Gryffindor stands, as if taunting the Slytherin seeker to catch it, but of course Regulus cannot. He rips his eyes away from the snitch and turns for a quick glance at Pandora, and then looks Lily dead in the eye. His eyes are burrowing into her. "Aren't you gonna catch that?" Lily wants to, oh she wants to so badly, but she's on the other side of the pitch, and Pandora is much much, oh sooo much closer to it. Pandora is looking towards their goalpost, which are luckily opposite to their stands. Lily doesn't want to alert her of the snitch location, just trying to get closer to it as much as she can before Pandora turns to look in the stands direction. "Okay, let's do this as slowly as we can before she notices us. I need us to be closer to that snitch," Lily tells her broom, weird to talk to inanimate objects but reassuring somehow. She starts to make lazy circles and pretends she's bored and also looking for the "hidden" golden snitch just like the other seeker. She's made good progress, a quarter of the way through when she sees Pandora stiffing on her broom from the corner of her eye. As she's moving closer, she chances a look in her direction and sees she is measuring her up. Theirs eyes meet, and Lily unconsciously looks towards the stands to make sure the snitch is still there, as she gets ready to pounce. "Bad Lily, why did you look! Now she knows we know where the snitch is!" She scolds herself, but she's already leaning down and speeding up like a bullet simultaneously.

Pandora sees Lily, and she leaves all pretense of not knowing where the golden ball is and starts toward it as well. She's much closer to it. Chances are she'll get to it 2-3 seconds before Lily even gets there.

Regulus's attention hasn't moved from Lily and the snitch since their "intense eyeball convo," as James would put it. Lily has flattened herself fown, almost becoming one with the broom. She's going upward though, almost like a curved ball. "Wierd, why is she going upward instead of making her way straight to the snitch?" Remus wonders besides him. "I think Pandora's gonna get this one. Her distance is almost half Lily's." Peter tuts back. But Regulus's eyes are still trained on Lily. Seems like Lily is done with going upward, reaching the max of her imaginary curve to the snitch. Time seems to slow down as she hovers in that maximum point, something clicks in Regulus's mind, and suddenly he's standing up and leaning on the rail to get a better look.

Lily's thinks this is good height, and then she's starting her descent down the curve while tilting her broom just ever so slightly to the left. She's on! She's in the corkscrew spin, her speciality, descending forward, eyes glued on the snitch now. From the corner of her eyes, she thinks she can make a shape that is supposed to be Pandora moving toward the golden ball as well. But her attention is all focused on the snitch as the world is spinning around it. She's going so fast that apparently there's an air pocket in front of her, so she's not even feeling the wind on her face. Just a few more seconds, and she's reaching her hand straight in front to catch the snitch. Right before Pandora's hand closed around it. She hasn't slowed down but moves her broom back in place so she stops spinning over its axis. Tilting upward, she makes to slow down, but there it is... The reason she was only a reserved seeker on Gryffindor and had to stop after two years. The lightheadedness is just a warning, but what can she do about it when she's blacking out the next second?

Part J.2

(Kinda Lily's POV)

It's a practice day that ended up turning into a friendly match between houses. Players are zipping about and not taking the game seriously. Instead, most are practicing new moves and showing off their new spin tactics to their friends in the stands.

Looks like everyone is on the pitch. But it's hard to keep track of them all simultaneously when multiple games are playing instead of the usual one. A mix of colors, green blue, and red messing about on one side. Evan and Barty started competing with each other first, but then it quickly turned into a two-against-one with Marlene in a beaters game. Looks like they're counting who can hit the ball more times without dropping it while at the same time sabotaging each other's counts.

Pandora is playing as seeker for the first time in a long while after being encouraged by James to beat Regulus in his own game.

Reg is making lazy circles around looking for the snitch, but every now and then he sneaks up on James tapping on his shoulder and hiding away again. The seeker speed gotta worth something, right? It's revenge, for pitting Pandora, his best friend, against him.

James feels like he's going crazy. There! Someone tapped his shoulder! Again!! But there's no one around to blame. Sirius is on the other side of the pitch talking to Peter, Remus, and Dorcas. Him and Dorcas are trying to convince Remus and Peter to hop on and tag along for the ride "so we can improve and test our new long-term weight holding. The best way to do that is to have someone on the broom with you. It's a proven method!" Remus doesn’t seem convinced, but he sighs, resigning to his fate and climbs on behind Surius.

It might be Pandora, but she's concentrating on the range looking for the snitch, from 20 feet above him! She definitely has the stomach for being the Ravenclaw seeker, even as a reserve, no doubt about that.

"Where is Reg?" He asks himself, looking for a head of black curls in green uniform. He thinks he sees one to his right but when he turns, there's no such luck. He starts to turn back, but once again, another light tap tap on his left shoulder. Bracing his broom, he makes an upward turn and sees a wide grin on Regulus's face while he's upside-down. "It's you!!" He accuses and turns to chase after him. "I don't know what you're on about" Regulus shouts as he's turning to the left, his voice still containing laughter. They zoom past the audience stands for the Slytherin and then Gryffindor.

Lily spots them, laughing at their antics with Mary by his side. "They look like they're having fun," Lily says with a smile on her face. "Wanna get on the pitch? We haven't flied in a while, " asks Mary while looking around. Lily responds, "Don't think my groom's been polished in the past 3 years, so not really an option." Mary side eyes her, then turns to the pitch and shouts,"Boy! I need two brooms here!"

Reg zooms past again, having left James far behind. He's smiling to himself. When he hears Mary, he makes a circle back toward the stands, curious as to why the girl with the beautifully done curls needs two brooms, 'Mary,' he thinks. Marlene is flying over, Evan and Barty following behind "nosy" Regulus mouths to the two of them. Barty makes a face at him but continues to follow behind her to the stands.

"Are only boys allowed to lend you their brooms, Mary? Not this humble white knight?" Teases Marlene as she gets closer to the two of them. "Mine knight 'i shining armer! thou are hither! Of course not, as long as thou hast space I'd prefer to ride with thou!" Mary responds head held high and holding her skirt elegantly as if it was 3 feet's long. "That's my girl. Get on! Why'd you need two anyway?" "The other is for Lily"

James ears perk, but Reg is already there. "Do you want to ride along or try for the snitch on your own? Looks like Pandora is still looking for it." Reg offers as he hovers by. "Hmm... I don’t think I'm athletic enough to compete with her right now, " Lily responds, but there's a spark in her eyes as she follows Pandora hover above. Reg makes 180 upward turn from her left to the right, checking her out. "There was a rumor a year ago 'Evans used to be Gryffindor reserved seeker for two years.' they say you got the speed and the head for it. But I personally never seen you fly on the pitch. Care to demonstrate?"

Lily's shy now, her cheeks warming. "Sure." Regulus, excited, hops off his broom and offers it to her. Everyone around them is staring, and a herd of flies could move into James’s gaping mouth. Lily takes the offered broom and starts to mount it. Now Regulus is the one turing shades. Sirius flies by whispering "lovesick fool" but shuts up as Remus hits him affectionately in the back of his head, "Pot meet kettle."

It gets Lily a moment to adjust but then she's flying off, slowly going toward Pandora.

Reg realizes he's in the wrong stands, but he's holding onto Lily's bag and scarf, so he just blushes and sits down after getting a reassuring glance from James.

Lily's ecstatic. It really has been a while since she flied on a broom. The weather is perfect too, just crisp enough that it'll take a while to break into sweats. She reaches Pandora. "Wonderful to see you on the broom again, Lily Evans." "Not as wonderful as it is to compete against you once again, Miss Rosier." They grin. Pandora reaches a hand forward "best out of seven?" Lily shakes her hand firmly,"loser's gonna be making pies with their family recipes for weeks," her grin bright like the sun.

I'm not really good at writing but I've been thinking about this for the past two days for whatever reason and started writing in my notepad. Once it got super long, I though maybe I need some opinions on it, maybe it already exits (if it does, how dare you not share the fics? Come on! #justiceforJegulily)

If it doesn't and you'd like to use it as a prompt for writing, feel free to do so as long as you give credits.

Anyways, if anyone wanted to draw these scenes, I would be delighted to be part of your muse and would like to go though them, just tag me for credit and more importantly so I can enjoy your art too.

Part J.1

Scene starts with Lily head on Reg's shoulder and her right hand, pulm up in his right pulm.

Reg is slightly red and kissing the top of her head occasionally, as if he cannot help himself. Lily is murmuring sweet things to him and burrowing between his neck and shoulder.

James walks by, frantic, but once he sees Lily he calms. He doesn't notice Reg and sits beside Lily on the edge of the windowsill. Lily notices him and calls his name sweetly. Swinging her left hand over to grab James elbow, crassing down slowly to reach his hand. Holding his hand, and after a press of her hand, she takes it and place it on her left thigh/knee.

"Hmm... I can get used to this..." she mumbles into Reg's skin. "If you want me, you two gotta learn to work together."

Lily says her peace and starts to fall sleep.

James asks "how long has she been here like this?" "She was standing still by the windowsill once I got here, around half an hour ago" responds Reg delicately as to not wake Lily. "She made me worried by not responding at first but once I got her to sit down, she calmed down and started dozing off until you got here."

"I can take her back to the dorms" James suggests, Reg hesitates but nods eventually. James trys to wake her up but she only mumbles and doesn't get up. He sighs succumbing to his fate "let's hope I don't trip us both down to our demise" putting one are around her back and then another under her knees. "Make sure I don't drop her for me, won't you?" James asks Reg, not even looking at him being so focused on his task.

Reg wants to mention the magic but when Lily's head rolls onto James’s and she smiles, he forgets all about it. Looking at the two of them, he makes sure James has her securely in his arms while still holding onto Lily's hand unconsciously.

"Alright, we'll see you later I guess." James says and starts to walk towards the stairs. He doesn't get far though, Lily's now holding fast onto Reg's wrists.

They both look up to each other first, and then to Lilly. Her eyes are closed but now she has a firm furrow in between her brows.

"Um..." Reg starts but doesn't say anything. James closes his eyes for a moment and then asks "Ever been to the headboy's quarters?"

I'm not really good at this so we'll need to come up with a proper title if it gets big enough together.

Let's say this was part J.0
