Could James & Lily have resisted the locket’s dark influence better than Ron(in deathly hallows)?

Firstly, the main reason, in my opinion, is that it affected Ron so much because he always felt less than. He was the youngest boy so his older siblings and Ginny as the only daughter got more attention. Then when you add on his best friend is famous it's only natural that the locket was able to prey on those feelings. Personally I think James and Lily could have resisted better but it depends on how old they are. You can't tell me that Lily never felt unsure of herself when she started at Hogwarts and her sister called her a freak. Everyone has insecurities, it just depends on whether or not they let them define them. Overall I think they could have but it depends.

Description: The Yule Ball, if Harry had gone with Hermione.

It was a night full of excitement and nerves as the sky darkened over the snow covered castle. The Great Hall was decorated fitting the wintery theme and students were gathering around, waiting for the dancing to start.

Meanwhile Harry was waiting at the base of the stairs, waiting for Hermione. He kept on fidgeting with his dress robes, nervous. When he had asked her last minute to be his date to the Yule Ball he had expected her to say no. She hadn’t. Instead she smiled and said yes. Harry had been so relieved after having been rushing around trying to find a date along with Ron. His best friend had managed to ask Padma Patil who had thankfully said yes. The two of them were now waiting in the Great Hall with everybody else.

“Is that Hermione?” He heard someone ask. Turning around he saw Hermione standing at the top of the staircase. She looked beautiful in her blue dress, walking down the stairs slowly, a nervous expression on her face. They locked eyes and she smiled, meeting his gaze. He met her at the bottom of the stairs.

“You look nice.” He said.

“Nice?” She asked, arching an eyebrow teasingly.

He blushed, “Beautiful.”

She raised a hand, playfully ruffling his hair.

He shook her off, a little disappointed because it had taken him hours to tame his unruly hair.

“I hate you, ‘mione.” He said playfully, still smiling at her.

She giggled. “No you don’t.”

“Yes, I do.” He insisted, laughing.

Hermione pulled him in for a tight hug, “No you don’t.”

“No, I don’t,” Harry admitted. He hugged her back, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Her hair, not nearly as bushy as usual, tickled his nose a bit. She smelled nice, he noticed. He’d never really thought about what she might smell like but somehow, she smelled exactly like he expected. For a second he forgot where they were and simply sunk into her embrace.

Far too soon they had to pull apart when the rest of the champions started to line up in front of the doors. All of a sudden Harry became nervous again, worrying about having to dance in front of everyone. Hermione slipped her hand in his, squeezing gently to reassure him.

He glanced over at her and remembered that he had no reason to be worried. Hermione had probably been paying closer attention to the dancing lesson than he had and had probably already mastered it.

They walked into the Great Hall side by side along with the rest of the champions and their dates onto the dance floor. Once they all got into position, the music started up and they started to dance. For a while it felt as if the whole room disappeared and it was just the two of them accompanied by the music, dancing off into the winter wonderland. It was a magical night that they would both remember forever.

The better couple; Arthur & Molly or James & Lily?

Ok, that's difficult. The main problem is that we see so much of Arthur and Molly but most of what we know about James and Lily is through others. It's honestly not a fair comparison. Personally I really like them both so much. Arthur and Molly were the best/healthiest adult couple we saw in the series that managed to survive through everything but if it's based off of which pairing im most likely to read a fic on its Lily and James.

A Harmione prompt:

*playfully* “I hate you, mione”

“hehehe, no you don’t”

“yes.. I do.”

*pulls him in a tight hug* “No, you don’t”

Hi anon! I hope you don't mind but I combined this with another request. It will be posted sometime tonight after I finish editing!

Edit: it's posted!

[rose-of-the-grave]

Harmione/Jily headcanon: both Lily and Hermione love to be teasing/playful with their respective significant other and like to ruffle their messy hair after both James and Harry had just managed to keep it barely tidy.

If only James and Lily got to cuddle and calm Harry when he snuggles in their bed in the middle of the night because of a nightmare. If only they got to wipe Harry's tears away and heal his scraped knee to make the pain go away.

Who gave you the right? 😭

Awwww, that was so cute 🥹. The song fits Jily so well and all of the fanart was like taking a trip down memory lane, so much of it was stuff I'd seen when I first got on Tumblr and Pinterest. Thanks anon for sharing!

[rose-of-the-grave]

You got my request?

Hi anon! Yes, I did. Unfortunately school and life in general has become overwhelming and I don't really have the time to focus on any of my WIPs right now. I promise I will try to get them finished soon when things get a little less stressful.

Ship or Sink: Wolfstar(Remus and Sirius)?

Shippppp!!!!!!

[rose-of-the-grave]

Oh my, that jily fic A Love Retold, sent by that anon(bless their heart) made me so warm🥺 I totally loved this take on them. And already I headcanoned their friends; being Sirius and Remus for James(sorry Peter, you ruin everything) and Mary McDonald and Marlene McKinnon for Lily. I can totally see Sirius playfully mocking James because his childhood sweetheart thinks his eyes are pretty. James likely would punch his arm. Lily is allowed to say that though😊

Hi anon! Omg, you're so right, I can definitely picture that happening!

Is Severus Snape a hero, anti hero or a villain, in your opinion?

Hi anon, thanks for the question!

Honestly, I'm not sure. Personally I can't forgive a lot of the things he did to his students, which was mostly glossed over in the movies compared to the books, just because he was bullied as a kid and overall didn't have that happy of a childhood. I do sympathize with him but there were many things that he did that I didn't agree with. For instance he was completely fine with Voldemort killing people until he wanted to kill Lily's son. If it weren't for the prophecy I don't think he would have ever become a double agent for Dumbledore. He's a complicated character and I think Alan Rickman perfectly captured that but I don't think that he deserves to be forgiven so easily like he has by many people, particularly those who only watched the movies. I don't think he's a hero but I'm not entirely convinced he's a villain because he does good things, just for the wrong reasons. Ultimately I think that he's most likely an anti hero.

Always found the childhood friends to lovers to be underutilized trope in Jily fics. Thought I share this AU:)

Hey anon! I never thought about it but you're right, I don't think I've ever seen a Jily childhood friends to lovers fic before.

That was so cute, thank you so much for sharing that fic! I absolutely loved it❤️

Reblog for a larger sample size!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.

I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.
