canoncially, as a child, Lily Evans used to jump off of swing sets and fly through the air, even though her mother told her she shouldn’t. 

canonically, Lily Evans used to do magic outside of school in order to show her parents what she’d learned. 

canonically, Lily Evans was a fun-loving rule breaker. 

STOP PORTRAYING HER AS SOME UBER-SERIOUS, FUN-HATING, GOODY-GOODY JUST BECAUSE SHE HATED JAMES PICKING ON SNAPE OKAY GOODBYE

RIP James Potter. You would have loved attending Harry’s Quidditch matches, shouting yourself hoarse as you proudly declared to anyone within earshot, "That’s my son!"—the youngest, most talented Seeker. Oh, you would have been so incredibly proud.

“You are protected, in short, by your ability to love! The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort’s! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven…” Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Ginny cried when she took that picture of Harry with their kids after he got back from a mission, safe and sound. They were his most powerful shield.

Jily is my jam and the best way for me to let of steam.

And a special thanks to @atalienart bc i realised I took the same ref for this jily that she did years ago.

Dog Days

read on ao3 | everyone lives/nobody dies AU

The fall after graduating Hogwarts James Potter has it made - fantastic flat, even better career, the best friends. The only thing missing is the girl of his dreams, Lily Evans. After running into her (literally), James realizes he might have some kind of chance with her after all - as long as he can convince his best friend to keep up his rouse of being... well, man's best friend.

james would exclusively refer to having sex with lily as making love or love making. like he'd be telling sirius a story about almost getting caught like 'we were making love in the broom closet' and sirius is like 'you cannot make love in a broom closet.'

“Alright there, Evans?”

So suave James.

lily being well liked by her classmates but not having any real friends she can go to except for severus. lily having to cut off the only person who really got her after years of trying to think the best of him, making excuses and putting even more divide between her and her dormmates. lily being “popular” but feeling alone in every room.

sirius black saying “i’ll be surprised if i don’t get ‘outstanding’ on it at least” like there’s any mark higher than that, sirius u douchebag

“I’m quite surprised the Mudbloods haven’t all packed their bags by now,” Malfoy went on. “Bet you five Galleons the next one dies. Pity it wasn’t Granger —” The bell rang at that moment, which was lucky; at Malfoy’s last words, Ron had leapt off his stool, and in the scramble to collect bags and books, his attempts to reach Malfoy went unnoticed. “Let me at him,” Ron growled as Harry and Dean hung onto his arms. “I don’t care, I don’t need my wand, I’m going to kill him with my bare hands —” “Hurry up, I’ve got to take you all to Herbology,” barked Snape over the class’s heads, and off they marched, with Harry, Ron, and Dean bringing up the rear, Ron still trying to get loose. It was only safe to let go of him when Snape had seen them out of the castle and they were making their way across the vegetable patch toward the greenhouses.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Chapter 15)

But sure, keep talking about how Draco is better for Hermione than Ron. It doesn't make you sound like a fool at all.

Oh! Naughty Lily

But James seems to like what he sees!
