Gold Rush

Jily (James Potter/Lily Evans), Minor wolfstar

Word Count: 4856

Lily didn’t expect to be having these feelings for James when 7th year starts. Featuring a jealous and pining Lily.

Read on AO3

When James caught her eye from across the Gryffindor table, she didn’t expect a fluttering feeling in her chest to blossom.

Summer had been kind to him in ways that almost made Lily angry. He seemed to grow into his features. His cheeks had lost all the baby fat, making sharp cheekbones appear, and he had gotten new glasses that seemed to frame his face a lot better and highlight his hazel eyes. The dimple in his left cheek still made appearances when he smirked and god, his jawline was heavenly. His voice had also deepened to a nice even baritone that when Lily first heard it, it had taken a second to realize that James had spoken.

Alarm bells started going off as he smiled at her. She quickly smiled and turned away, hiding the blush that was starting to form on her cheeks.

She could not be thinking about James Potter like that.

~~~

Lily hadn’t been particularly thrilled with having to share a living space with just him. It could be worse, as she had been expecting Remus and he wasn’t the tidiest. She had been in the boys’ dorm a few times and it was never messy, but Remus told her that it was because James cleaned it.

It hadn’t been bad, besides the fluttering in her stomach when he walked in.

Lily was reading a book on professional level charms, her legs stretched out on the sofa by the fireplace. The head dorm was nice and Lily wondered if it changed based on who were the heads that year because it resembled the Gryffindor common room closely, with more cushy furniture than necessary.

She was about to turn the page when the bookcase that hid the entrance swung open.

She hated the butterflies that formed in her stomach.

James stepped in, soaking from the rain. He had had Quidditch practice.

“It’s raining horribly,” he said as a greeting.

Lily opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. His hair was flat for once in his life and sticking to his forehead. He had a curl plastered on his forehead. His t-shirt was clinging to him. James wasn’t buff, but he was lean and his defined muscles were nothing to laugh at.

“I swear I almost drowned in mid-air,” he said. “Is that even a thing?”

“No, I don’t believe so,” Lily said, turning away and looking at her book. He got out his wand and started charming himself dry.

“Practice went okay otherwise,” he said, finally getting his shoes dry.

“How’s the new seeker?” she asked, not looking at James as he flung himself into the sofa across from her.

“Doing good. Just need to make a few improvements on her techniques,” he said.

Lily spared a glance and wished she didn’t. His legs were spread out and his head threw back, exposing his neck. She hoped that he didn’t see her blush.

“Who’s the first game against?” she asked.

“Ravenclaw,” he said. “They got a strong keeper, but I don’t think they’ll be a problem. Hufflepuff has a great line up though and it has me a bit worried.”

“It’ll be fine. Gryffindor always pulls through,” she said. James laughed a little.

“Yeah, but doesn’t mean I can’t try to eliminate a struggle,” he said. Lily looked up and saw he was looking at her. “I like it when I can crush them with little to no problems.”

Lily rolled her eyes.

“I think a struggle is a better show of feat,” she replied. “Shows how you work under pressure.”

“Ah, but when there’s no struggle, it shows that we don’t have any weakness,” he said.

“Spoken like a true Gryffindor,” Lily said. James laughed and the butterflies in Lily’s stomach started up again.

James asked about what she was reading and she found that she forgot about the anxiety that had started to surround her when he was near. He was easy to talk to, always had been when they weren’t intent on arguing for the sake of arguing.

When Lily joined in with James at the breakfast table of trying to throw sausages into Sirius’s mouth, that’s when she knew she had a problem.

Lily was never one for rules, especially if they were unfair. She upheld the ones she agreed to, sometimes bent them when she saw fit, but the outward display of joining in the Marauders was crossing an invisible line.

Lily didn’t see that line until Marlene pulled her aside after History of Magic and casted a silencing charm around them.

“So when did you realize you’re head over heels for James?” she asked. Count on Marlene to always jump straight to the point.

Lily almost dropped her books.

“What are you talking about?” she asked.

Marlene rolled her blue eyes at Lily.

“Come off it,” she said. “It’s obvious. The Lily that despised him fifth year would never have spent the morning trying to break his sausage-throwing record or share your notes with him.”

Lily felt angry.

“Just because I’m being friendly doesn’t mean I like him!” she hissed. Marlene was unphased by Lily’s anger.

“Oh Lily, don’t be upset. He’s fit as fuck and a decent guy,” she said. “I would be shocked if you didn’t!”

“You know how much I hate crushes,” Lily said, fighting the urge to stomp her foot like a child. “It’s pointless!”

Marlene laughed.

“Sometimes, you can’t fight it,” she said. She waved her wand and the silencing charm around them faded. “Let’s get to lunch.”

Lily walked beside her in silence, fuming.

There were a few reasons why Lily hated crushes. She hated how they painted the world in rose colored glasses, obscuring truths. She thought about the crush she had had on a 7th year Ravenclaw when she was in fifth year.

Lily didn’t remember his name, just that she had tried many times to speak to him when they were at the library at the same time. Lily felt like she was flying every time she saw him, with every word he spoke to her.

Then came the bone-crush. He kissed her one day over her charms homework and the next day she found out he had a girlfriend, a fourth year Hufflepuff.

Lily felt disgusting and immediately told her.

When she looked back at that experience, she felt hot anger and embarrassment. The rose colored world she had seen had blinded her from the truth.

She should have noticed how flippant he was when she asked him questions. How once he caught on to Lily’s crush, he would find a table in the back, out of the way from passersby. Lily had thought it was because he wanted alone time, not because he was hiding from his girlfriend or anyone who might rat on her.

She had vowed that she was never going to make an utter fool of herself again.

Lily pushed down her anger and looked forward to have a nice peaceful lunch with her friends that she missed so dearly. Alice, Dorcas, and Mary were waiting for them at the end of the table, but as Lily’s eyes looked on, she found a sight that made her almost vomit.

There was James, sitting across from Amelia Bones, a Hufflepuff in their year.

He was flashing her his signature smile and laughing at something she said, running a hand through his messy hair.

She peeled her eyes away and took her seat next to Alice, forcing herself not to stare at them.

She picked at her food and tried hard to pay attention to her friends.

“Hogsmeade is next week, right?” Lily asked, suddenly.

“Sure is,” Mary said, sipping some of her juice.

“I want to get plastered at the Three Broomsticks,” Lily said. The girls laughed.

“It’s date,” Marlene announced. “I’ve been waiting to see you drunk since you took that shot of firewhiskey.”

Lily rolled her eyes, thinking of the time Marlene snuck a firewhiskey up to their dorm last year and Lily almost threw up after one shot.

The girls started planning the trip.

Despite her resolve, she shot a glance at Amelia and James, who were just getting up from the table. James met her eyes and winked at her, to which Lily rolled her eyes because it let her do something other than blush.

~~~

Lily would be an idiot if she thought that she was the only one to notice James. That didn’t mean she had to like it though.

James had been asked out three times in one breakfast and though she had no claim to him, it was grating on her nerves.

“So Prongs,” Sirius started as the brave third year who just asked James this morning left. “You’re turning into quite a lady killer.”

James snorted.

“I’m starting to think someone is cursing them,” he said. “It’s mental.”

“Face it, Prongs,” Sirius said. “You’re a hot ticket item.”

“They’re dying to have your babies,” Remus said, not looking up from his copy of the Daily Prophet.

“They’re going to kidnap you and force you to go on a date with them,” Peter added.

“Probably going to slip you some love potion,” Lily said. James whipped his head and looked at her.

“I expect them to gang up on me, but you Evans? Betrayal,” he said.

Lily smiled and bit back the green monster that was going to reel it’s head if she thought about it too hard.

“I know what’s going on,” she said.

“Please, be our insight into the female mind,” Sirius said, brushing a strand of dark hair behind his ear.

Lily rolled her eyes.

“Teenagers are horny,” she said. “James is headboy, plays Quidditch. Every fifteen year old’s dream.”

Lily kept her eyes on her tea as she took a sip. She could feel his eyes on her. What she really wanted to say is that she got it. She got why these girls were dying for James. Lily herself felt like she would die in order to have James touch or snog.

She was trying to get that to stop.

“And he’s fit,” Remus said. Sirius glared at his boyfriend. “Objectively speaking. Not my type, sorry James.”

“I don’t take it personally,” James grumbled, taking it personally.

“Just be happy you can get a date,” Peter said. “I can’t get one for the life of me!”

“How about this Pete,” James said, resting his elbows on the table. “Tell me who you fancy and I’ll ask their bestfriend out and see if I can’t get a double date?”

Here was the bone-crush. Here is where the misery came and grabbed Lily.

“You’d do that for me?” Peter asked, his eyes wide.

“Once,” he said. “I’m going to help you woo the pants off of this girl and hope you get a second date on your own.”

If Peter said who he fancied, it was lost on Lily. She stared at the cup of tea in front of her, watching the surface of the liquid vibrate.

She could imagine going on a date with him, so vividly it hurts. She could practically picture walking with him down the slope, hand in hand. Sitting across from him at the Three Broomsticks and stealing his chips. And that image hurt as she watched them plan their double date.

James nudged Lily, jarring herself out her thoughts.

“Time for Transfig,” he said. “Ready?”

Lily nodded and stood up. As she grabbed her bag, she saw Remus watching her. He gave her a small smile and she tried to return it.

James, Sirius, and Peter were already walking ahead of them when Remus came beside her.

“So, I take it you’re against the double date?” he asked as they started up the stairs.

“No, why would I?” she asked quickly.

Remus sighed deeply and just shook his head. They caught up to the other boys.

~~~

Once Lily heard James was taking Amelia Bones to Hogsmeade, she was even more determined to get wasted at the Three Broomsticks. She was a rational person. She knew that getting wasted to forget a stupid crush was immature, but she could be immature for a night.

She put more effort into her appearance than normally for a girls night out. Normally she would be fine with jeans and a jumper, but Mary had suggested they act like they were going to the hottest nightclub in the U.K.

Lily didn’t have a lot of clothes appropriate for that, but Mary was her size and had tons of sparkling dresses that she was willing to let Lily borrow.

Mary had picked a gold sequined dress that was a little shorter than Lily was used to, but she knew she could make it work. It was strapless and Lily had a slightly bigger breast than Mary, so Lily placed a sticking charm on the sweetheart neckline.

Lily also did some beauty charms. One to make her hair have more beachy waves than her own slightly sad waves. The make-up charms turned out better than she thought as her emerald eyes looked bigger with the eyeliner charm.

She checked the time, gave herself one final look over, and then grabbed her coat, and left her room, stepping out in the common room. She heard something fall as she closed the door.

James was standing at his door, staring at Lily like he was deer caught in the headlights.

He was ready for his date, a nice dark green shirt and pants that had been pressed. He looked good and Lily hated it.

“Evans, what are you wearing?” he asked. Lily looked down at her dress.

“A dress?”

“You look…” he started, eyeing her up and down. “Stunning.”

Lily felt her cheeks heat up.

“Thanks. It’s for the girl’s night,” she said. The air felt awkward as the silence fell.

James looked away, clearing his throat.

“Where are you going? For the girl’s night,” he asked, picking up his wand that he had dropped.

“Three Broomsticks,” Lily replied. “Where’s your date?”

“Madam Padifoots,” he replied.

“Aw, that’s romantic,” Lily said, forcing a smile.

“Pete picked it,” he said. “I would rather be drowning in some Butterbeer.”

Silence fell again. Lily wanted to say something, but she found it hard. James hadn’t looked at her since he picked up his wand.

“Well, have a good time,” Lily said, making her way to the bookcase.

“Same,” James said.

The walk down was freezing, but once Lily sat in a booth, squished between Mary and Dorcas, she realized it was worth it.

They started out with some food, but soon enough the drinks kept coming. Lily felt wobbly as her and Mary sang a Muggle song on the top of their lungs. She was spinning when Alice admitted her and Frank had had sex in his childhood bedroom over the summer.

She was absolutely gone with Remus and Sirius stood at the end of the booth.

“You lot are cut off for the rest of the night,” Remus said. Lily started giggling at his stern expression.

“Oi! Remy,” Mary said, her words slurred. “How big is Black? We have a bet.”

“I’ll have you know I’m packing,” Sirius said, not the least bit phased.

Lily snorted.

“He’s average,” Remus replied. All the girls started laughing. Lily felt tears in her eyes as Sirius elbowed Remus.

“He’s joking,” Sirius said. Remus shook his head, unknown to Sirius, and the laughter started again.

“We’re escorting back to the castle,” Remus said.

The loud “aw” that escaped their lips was enough to make the rest of the bar turn and look at them.

Marlene almost fell when she tried to walk and Remus ran out for a second. He came back with James.

Normal, sober Lily would be ashamed of herself in the morning.

“James!” she yelled. James smiled and widened his eyes. “I’m drunk!”

James ran a hand through his hair and smiled, his dimple making an appearance.

“I can see that, Lils,” he said.

He helped her up off the bench and caught her as she stumbled. His hand was warm on her arm and goose flesh appeared.

“Let’s try to get you back in one piece, alright?” he said.

“Carry me,” she said, giggling. James gave her a look she was too drunk to read into.

“I will if I have too,” he said.

He helped her put her coat on and then placed his arm around her in order to steady her walk.

The rest of the group was in front of them. Mary and Dorcas, stumbling, but they were fine compared to Alice, Marlene, and Lily. Alice was Sirius’s back while Marlene was basically using Remus as a cane.

“Where’s Peter?” Lily asked.

“He had a pretty nice date,” James replied. “I think they’re still out.”

At the mention of the date, Lily pouted.

“So your date was nice?” she asked. She hated that tears were forming in her eyes.

James took a moment to answer.

“I mean, Amelia and I just talked about our Divination project. I told her it was for Pete,” he said. “We aren’t interested in each other.”

Lily’s heart soared and her eyes dried.

“Why’d you get all dressed up if it wasn’t a real date?” she slurred.

“Because it was real for Pete and Ingrid,” he replied.

“It’s a shame,” Lily said, frowning.

“What’s a shame?”

“That Amelia could pass you up looking like that!” Lily said, stumbling into him a bit. “I mean your arse looks fantastic! Almost as good as your Quidditch pants.”

James paused for a second and Lily almost tripped but James caught her and steadied her.

“You’re more drunk than I thought,” James said. Drunk Lily didn’t notice the tightness in her voice.

“Yes,” she said. “And it’s fantastic!”

“You won’t be saying that tomorrow,” he mumbled.

The boys brought them all back to the head dorm, which made the girls squeal and get excited about a sleepover. James deposited Lily on the couch and quickly made his way over to the potion station in the corner of the room.

“I love the dorm!” Alice chirped, looking around.

“These couches are ten times better than the ones in the tower,” Marlene said, curling up on the couch by Dorcas.

“I agree,” Mary said.

Lily’s eyes wandered to James, who was at the potion station. She was staring at him, but was jared when Sirius sat next to her.

“How many drunk head girls do you think entered this dorm?” he said, smirking at her.

Lily threw a pillow at him.

“Probably all of them,” she replied. “You don’t make head girl without a dash of mischief.”

Sirius raised his eyebrows at her.

“Lily Evans and mischief? I find that unlikely,” he said. Lily felt offended.

“Who hexed Avery to make his voice high pitched, huh?” she said, crossing her arms.

Sirius widened his steel blue eyes.

“That was you?” he said.

“Of course it was bloody me! He called me a mudblood and I just snapped!” she fired back.

“That’s not mischief then Lils, that’s justice,” he said. Lily laughed, loudly.

“And I’d do it again,” she said. “I also stole Snape’s potion essay once.”

“Evans!” Sirius said, clutching his chest like he was scandalized.

“He was being a prat! He kept going on and on about he was the best in potions! So I took his essay before it was due,” she said, rather proudly. “He got detention and I found a major error in his essay. I circled it and stuffed it back into his bag.”

Laughter erupted around her, making her feel warm and proud. Alice was clutching her side.

“What else have you done, Evans?” Sirius enquired, leaning back on the cushions and crossing his legs.

Lily hummed and thought for a second.

“I changed James’ quidditch robes to neon pink in fifth year,” she said.

“That was you?!” James exclaimed from across the room. “I didn’t talk to Sirius for a week!”

Sirius doubled over with laughter.

“I remember that!” Mary said, clapping her hands. “You did it because James threw a piece of parchment at you and asked you out in the middle of the hallway!”

Lily remembered it and laughed.

“He was such an arse!” she said.

“Was, did you say Evans?” Sirius inquired.

“Yes, was,” she confirmed. Sirius shot her a look.

The conversation drifted away from Lily’s mischief to how Mary engorged Marlene’s tongue when she thought she told the school one of her secrets. Lily’s eyes drifted back to James, who was bent over a steaming cauldron. Lily, ever the potions master, decided she must know what he was making.

She wobbled across the room and stood next to James, so close their arms bumped.

“Whatchya making?” she asked.

“A sober-up potion for you lot,” he said. “Then I’ll make a hangover-be-gone tomorrow for you guys.”

“I don’t want to sober up,” Lily pouted. She grabbed James’s arm and leaned her head against it. James didn’t say to protest it.

“You’ll be thanking me in the morning,” he said with a smirk. Lily rolled her eyes.

He was finely chopping the roots and Lily watched him, her could feel the muscles on his arms move, but she didn’t want to move and James wasn’t pushing her away.

“Shouldn’t you dice them?” she asked. James scoffed.

“You’re drunk and you’re still critiquing my potions,” he said.

“I wouldn’t have to critique if you did it the right way.” James erupted in laughter.

“Trust me, Evans. I’ve made this a few times,” he said. Lily didn’t reply, she just watched the cauldron bubble from her spot on James’s arm.

“I’m sorry about asking you out that way in fifth,” he mumbled.

“It’s okay,” she said. “You were just an obnoxious little boy.”

“You don’t think I'm still an obnoxious little boy?”

“Nope,” she said. “You would have never made headboy if that was the case.”

“True,” he said. He turned the potion off and stirred it until it was a clear color. Lily let go of his arm once he was ready to pour it for them.

Lily drank hers and watched as James started handing out the rest to her friends.

As the minutes ticked by, she realized she was going to regret a lot in the morning.

~~~

Lily remembered everything of her drunken night clearly, which is why she was determined to put as much space as possible between her and James.

She told him he had a nice arse! That was something she could never come back from. Ever.

He didn’t mention it and she was grateful for it. He did get her back from making his Quidditch uniform pink and during breakfast when her black robes turned a stunning shade of pink. When she made eye contact with James down the table, twirling his wand in his fingers, she just laughed. She left them that color for the rest of the day.

The only thing is that James started walking closer to her in the corridors when they patrolled together. His arm brushing against hers constantly. She often wondered what would happen if she just grabbed this hand. Which is why she started making the distance bigger.

Lily was spending her time in their shared common room when he was gone or at practice. She knew the time that James would be in and made sure to either be at the library, her bedroom, or in the Gryffindor Tower with the girls.

She was packing her things up, about to move to her bedroom before James came back from practice. She wasn’t expecting the bookcase to swing open ten minutes early and reveal a sweaty James Potter.

She fought the urge to get up and run without saying anything, but she held firm and tried to put her books away without looking like she was trying to do so as fast as she could.

“Hey Evans,” James said, smiling a little at her.

“Hey Potter,” Lily said as evenly as she could, darting her eyes back to her textbook.

“I feel like I haven’t seen you in a hot minute,” James said.

Lily glanced up to see him standing by the couch.

“We ate breakfast together,” she pointed out.

“You sat like, three people away from me,” he said.

Lily took a deep breath. She was getting irate and couldn’t quite place why.

“I talked to you in Transfiguration,” she pointed out.

She heard James sigh.

“I just asked to borrow a quill,” he said.

Something in his tone made Lily look at him. He was standing at the side of the couch looking utterly frustrated, running a hand through his damp hair.

“I don’t know what you’re getting at,” Lily said, looking back at her book before their eyes could meet.

There was a heavy silence.

“I don’t get you,” he said after a moment.

“‘Get me’?” Lily asked, snapping her book shut. Lily looked up and saw that James looked frustrated.

“One minute, I feel like we’re finally getting on and then next you act like I’m a second year who just wants to pull your hair,” James said.

“We are getting on,” Lily said, crossing her arms.

“Are we?” he questioned.

Lily stood up, anger flaring in her stomach.

“Well, we were,” she said, crossing her arms.

James took a deep breath and turned away from Lily.

“Can you just tell me what is going on?” he snapped. “I know I’ve done some pretty shitty things in the past. I’ve been trying to be better! Snape cursed me in the hallway and I didn’t curse him back because I knew you’d be upset!”

James opened his mouth like he was going to say more, but he quickly shut it. He just stared at her from across the room, his chest heaving slightly. Lily had seen an angry James quite a few times, but there was something in his eyes that showed Lily he was more hurt than anything.

“It’s not your fault,” Lily said, holding his gaze.

“What isn’t?” he asked.

“Me being weird,” she said, throwing her hands up.

“Explain it to me. Because one second you’re telling me I have a nice arse and the next, you can’t even look at me,” he said.

As Lily stood across from James, she realized that there was no way out of this mess besides the truth. Lily didn’t know if she was ready to throw her cards down, but God, she couldn’t take it anymore.

“Because I can’t stop thinking about you!” she yelled. “Every bloody day, I see girls tripping over themselves to get a scrap of your attention and I feel like I’m a fool!”

James’s jaw dropped as Lily fell silent. She felt heat rise in her cheeks and wishes she could stuff the words back into her mouth.

“What changed?” James asked. It was so low, Lily almost didn’t hear it. His eyes kept her captivated.

“A lot of things,” she replied. “Like the fact that you weren’t an utter tosser last year and this year.”

“You told me I was one quite a few times if I remember correctly,” James said, a smirk on his face.

Lily smiled a little, despite the feeling that she messed something up between them.

“It was different,” she said. “You just… know how to make people laugh, even when teasing them.”

James smiled, wide and bright and Lily finally looked away, choosing to stare out the window and look at the bright blue sky and fluffy clouds that were outside.

“I don’t want to get hurt James,” she said.

Lily felt him walk over.

“Why do you think I’d ever hurt you, Evans?” he whispered from beside her.

“Because you’ll realize there are better options out there,” she said. James snorted.

“I have nothing against the other girls in Hogwarts, but I doubt there is anyone that could ever compare to you, Lily,” he said. “Especially to me.”

James placed a hand on her shoulder and Lily turned to look at him. He was still sweaty from Quidditch, his glasses were crooked, but Merlin, she had never seen a better sight.

“Fancy a dinner in Hogsmeade?” he asked. She smiled.

“Hogsmeade is in two weeks,” she pointed out.

“I’m not waiting two weeks,” he said. “We don’t have patrols tonight. I’ll be ready in twenty, if you want to go with me that is.”

Lily hesitated for a second, not because of James, but because sneaking out. James seemed to get this.

“You said yourself, ‘what’s a head girl without a little mischief?’” he pointed out. Lily smiled and nodded.

Lily didn’t think James’s smile could get wider but it did.

“Give me twenty minutes!” he said, moving to turn around and rush to his dorm.

“Wait a second,” she said, causing James to pause.

Lily threw all caution to the wind . Just cupped James’s face and brought it down to hers, capturing it in a kiss that made Lily wish she had done this sooner.

Headcanons About Lily Evans That Just Make Sense

Lily Evans was about 5′3 and James never shut up about how cute she was

Her hair was always healthy and it flowed down her back

Her boggart was simple but it scared her more than anything

It was symbomism; Lily was poetic to a fault

So no one understood why this intelligent brave girl ran out of the classroom when a her boggart was merely a dead flower

a petunia

a wilting petunia

She had the most common sense in the school and she was no doubt the smartest

but that doesnt mean she knew what she was doing when she started to like James

she was clueless i tell you

Lily had Remus’ “furry little problem” figured out before winter holiday of first year

She stopped wearing anything with moons after that and it was peculiar to say the least

She was friends with the Marauders without a doubt

Remus was the one she went to for a soft and comforting presense that makes you feel like someone is always there for you

she went to Peter when she wanted someone whos hair she could ruffle and who would hand her some food when she was sad

She went to Sirius when she needed to talk. Whenever she needed someone who could relate to her struggles and understand the things with her sister, Sirius was always there with open arms

but... James?

She went to James when she wanted someone to tell her the most stupid funniest joke youve ever heard or when she needed a distraction.

She would sit and listen to anything he had to say (which was a lot) because his mind seemed like the brightest most happy place she could be

He would obviously never complain

Lily was a fighter

Minerva McGonagall doesn’t praise just anyone

She would stand her ground against blood supremecists

and never once got in trouble for hexing them into oblivion

but moreso,

Lily was unwaveringly kind

the type of ‘kind’ that had even the meanest of people wanting to be her friend

She got Marlene and Dorcas together in 4th year

James helped but she claims he was utterly useless

When she found out that James liked her she was canonically shocked

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“He’s bloody in love with you, Lils! Open your damn eyes!”

It was Sirius who snapped and told her

She didnt believe it

James was a Quidditch star, popular, a star student

why in Merlin’s name would he chase after her when there were so many girl fawning all over him?

Why not go for the more convinent option?

James asked her out three times ever

the first was after Snapes worst memory the marauders greatest feat

It went a bit like this

“Hey, Evans... are you doing okay? I-I was actually...well i w-was wondering if... if maybe y-you would come get a d-drink with me in Hogsmead...?”

“Y’know what, that sounds nice. I need a disrtraction. But im still pissed at you so dont start thinking this is forgiveness.”

“O-okay”

Lily had no clue that, to James, that was their first date.

The second was 6th year, right before she got splinched in apparation class

“Wh-OH BLOODY F**K THIS HURTS”

*cue protective boyfriend James*

But in 7th year Lily asked him out...

So the third time James asked Lily out?

when he was on one knee and decided to be a cheeky bastard like usual

Sirius and Lils had affectionate petnames for eachother”

“SIRIUS YOU IGNORANT SLUT”

“Yes, Raggedy Anne?”

“Did you charm my bed to kick me out of it you?!?”

“Whatever do you mean my lovely Leprechaun”

Anyways

Lily and James had talked about starting a family before

but after the war

when they could keep them safe

James was still over the moon to be a dad

Lily Evans loved her family more than any thing else

and thats why, after losing the love of her life, she begged to die in place of her son

Date: June 24th, 1984, immediately after the chill Location: York, UK self para/summary feat. @silenceisoverrated , @pspettigrew , @ofemmevance& @helloxhestia

The first thing James thought about when he saw the dementors was, perhaps ironically, Peter. Peter, who he was still cross with; Peter, who was still his friend. And Peter... who could not produce a patronus.

The second thing James thought about before sprinting off to find said friend was headquarters. The dementors were still far enough away that he had time before his own patronus would have to reach them. There weren’t a ton of Muggles out and about - but the ones that were roaming the streets were cowering, hiding, confusion etched across their features. The dementors weren’t stopping (yet), just gliding past them towards the Order members as though they were the targets.

He didn’t think much about the fact that he was leaving Amelia alone as he ran off, his wand already outstretched from having it out in the brush of the trees. He hadn’t produced a patronus since he got back - and he’d never had to do one in front of a dementor before - but he was fucking determined.

The normal memories didn’t come. It wasn’t Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily, and Dorcas in the common room that came to him. It wasn’t gallivanting around Hogwarts with his mates he remembered. Instead, he pictured Emmeline. In his vision, she wasn’t clean or healthy - she had her eyes screwed shut to ward off thoughts of whatever the Death Eaters had put in her head that day. There were bars between him, but he was talking to her. And maybe this would seem a deary memory to draw upon - the opposite of what was needed - but then Emmeline came back to him in his vision.

She smiled and -

A FLASH OF SILVER.

Only...

James was confused. From his wand wasn’t the familiar stag. It was something much, much larger that spouted from the tip of the wood, but just as bright. The Muggles would see it - or maybe they wouldn’t? James didn’t know about Muggles and patronuses, nor did he think anyone had studied it much. But James couldn’t help anything now as the new patronus raced away to deliver the message to Jones. It did not gallop about - it did not look majestically of the forest. Instead, it was huge and ferocious and terrifying. It shot silver flames from it’s mouth as it went towards the sky to headquarters.

A fucking dragon.

Erm.... hi.... I don't think this was on the prompt list that you posted recently, but it's a prompt I've seen somewhere else on Tumblr: for Wolfstar, could you do "I love you no matter what your brain tells you."? It's totally 100% okay if not ofc, no pressure <3

Hello! Sorry this took a bit, inspiration struck, but free time did not. I altered your prompt a tiiiny bit to make it a cleaner fit for my idea.

Also, while I LOVE my jily-centric followers so much, if any wolfstar blogs out there wanted to reblog this I would love to get into that space more since I do write a fair number of remus/sirius fics!

Enjoy! Once again, I did not proof read this thoroughly, so I apologize for any obvious typos!

“I Love You No Matter What Your Head Tells You”

Remus was utterly exhausted.

His first night as a prefect had not gone smoothly. One particularly thick first year had managed to get himself lost on the way to the Gryffindor common room, a feat that Remus previously thought was impossible considering that the prefects always led the first years to the dorm in one large group. However, Matthew McMorris claimed he’d been so distracted by a painting of medieval witches on the third floor that he’d looked up to find his group nowhere to be found. And so, it fell to Remus to retrieve him. Thank god for the map.

Remus turned to shoot McMorris a stern look as they climbed through the portrait hole. “Right, straight upstairs with you. You’ll be grateful for a full eight hours of sleep before your first lesson tomorrow, trust me.” The boy scowled at him before scampering away to the boy’s staircase.

Remus yawned and stretched dramatically as he glanced around the room. Most of the students had already gone to bed, but James, Peter, and Dorcas sat together on the couch in front of the fire.

“Alright?” James asked absentmindedly as he studied his hand of Exploding Snap cards. Peter held his hand upside down as if hoping that a new perspective would allow inspiration to strike.

“Fantastic,” Remus muttered as he dropped into the seat next to Dorcas, “who’s winning?”

“Who do you think,” Peter grumbled as he watched James play a particularly good hand, “how do you manage to rope me into this stupid game every time?”

James shrugged. “I guess you’re a glutton for punishment.”

The boys continued to bicker. Dorcas nudged Remus with her elbow. “Do you know what’s up with Black tonight?”

Remus didn’t meet her gaze. He knew that Sirius had been in a particularly bad mood on the Hogwarts Express. The mood must have been the result of an entire summer spent cooped up in Grimmauld Place. “What do you mean?”

“The berk snapped at me earlier!” Dorcas scoffed, “I asked him how his summer was and said ‘mind your own fucking business.’ Very uncool.”

“Yeah,” Remus said distractedly as he glanced towards the boys’ staircase, “extremely uncool.”

“Don’t even think about going up there, Moony,” James called over his shoulder, “he’s not in the mood. We’re giving him some space before we go up.”

Remus frowned at James. “You mean you’re just leaving him up there, alone? After the summer he’s had?”

James shrugged again. “He said he wanted to be alone. I wasn’t about to argue.”

Remus shook his head and stood. “Well, I’m going to check on him.”

“Godspeed, mate,” Peter called at his retreating back.

Remus marched towards their dormitory determinedly, but lost confidence with each step up the spiral stairs. Sirius could be wildly unpleasant when he was in one of his moods, and he’d already had a stressful night of rounding up wild first years. Nevertheless, Remus couldn’t bear to think of him up there all alone. Perhaps when Sirius said he wanted space from his friends, he didn’t mean Remus himself. Maybe Sirius would be glad to see him.

Remus paused with his knuckles inches from the door. One last chance to turn back, he thought to himself. After a moment’s hesitation, he shoved his worries aside and rapped loudly on the door.

A loud hmph greeted his knock. Remus took this as an indication that he was allowed to enter.

Sirius was sprawled out on his four-poster bed, still fully clothed. He stared up at the ceiling as he tossed an old quaffle up into the air only to catch it at his chest again and again. He didn’t look around as Remus sidled into the room.

“Um, hi,” Remus offered awkwardly, “did you have a good time at the feast?”

Sirius grunted again.

“Oh. Well, good,” he waited for Sirius to say something back, but he seemed fixated on throwing and catching that damn quaffle.

At least a minute of silence passed. Remus felt himself sweating slightly. He glanced around the room, desperate for something to talk about. The silence was oppressive. If he didn’t say something soon, he would explode faster than Peter’s cards.

In his desperation, Remus felt himself ask the worst possible question. “Did you have a good summer?”

Sirius caught the quaffle one last time, then hugged it to his chest. Remus could have smacked himself.

“I’m sorry,” he said quickly, “I just meant- we don’t have to talk about your summer, let’s talk about something-”

“No,” Sirius said softly, still gazing at the ceiling, “it’s alright. My summer was shit, thank you for asking.”

There wasn’t a hint of irony or anger in his tone. It was a simple truth. His summer had been pure, total shit.

“I’m sorry,” Remus mumbled to his shoes.

He heard Sirius scoff. “Not your fault.”

Another moment of silence followed this pronouncement. However, this silence wasn’t like the one before. Sirius seemed to be thinking long and hard about what he had just said, completely lost in his own thoughts. It was as if he’d forgotten that Remus was in the room.

Finally, he spoke again.

“They’ve gone absolutely mental,” he nearly whispered, “mental. You know they’re full-on blood purists now, right?”

Remus shifted uncomfortably. He knew that Sirius’ parents had become more and more radicalized over the years, but Sirius had rarely opened up about their beliefs, and Remus never asked.

“They think I’m the ultimate blood traitor. Worse than a blood traitor, actually. A ‘lazy, ungrateful, sorry excuse for a son.’ That was what she called me last night when I told her I didn’t want to come home for the holidays. Ungrateful because I don’t want to end up a hateful, spiteful hag like her.”

Sirius grew more agitated with every passing word. Remus could see his knuckles growing white as he gripped the quaffle fiercely into himself.

“And the really fucked up part is that they clearly love Reg more. And I get it, right? I can see why they love him so much because he kisses their arses. I know he loves me and all, but he cares more about what they think than about supporting me. That’s the worst fucking part.”

Sirius brought his hand to his face under the pretense of scratching his nose, but Remus knew that he was wiping a tear on the cuff of his shirt.

“I just can’t get them out of my head,” he sighed, “stupid, useless, blood traitor. Unworthy of love. And all the rest. It’s like there’s a record in my head that plays over and over again, and I can’t turn it off. It’s hell.”

Remus felt completely frozen. He had absolutely no idea what to say to any of this. All the responses that ran through his head felt tired and unhelpful. Sirius did not need someone to lie to him and tell him that his parents really cared for him, deep down. He didn’t need someone to tell him that it would all be alright in the end, that everything would work itself out.

The only thing he could think to say tumbled from his lips before he could stop himself.

“Well, I love you no matter what your head tells you.”

Sirius’ head snapped up. He looked Remus in the eye for the first time since he entered the room. A beat passed between them, a moment that allowed Remus to realize what he’d just said. He felt his cheeks burn with panic.

“We! We love you, me and James and...and Peter,” Remus finished weakly. Excellent. There was nothing unreasonable about expressing the familial love shared between four boys who were like brothers, right?

Sirius blinked at him, then nodded slowly. He looked as if he were trying to solve a particularly complicated arithmancy equation in his head. “Right. Thanks, Moony.”

Remus let out a breath. He started to back up towards the door to the dormitory. “Well, I’ll leave you alone again. Or, I dunno, do you want to come downstairs? Pete’s about ready to blow James’ head off if he wins at Exploding Snap again.”

Sirius still looked preoccupied as he eyed Remus. Finally, he lifted his gaze back up to the underside of his four-poster.

“Nah,” he grunted as he threw the quaffle into the air again, “you go. I’m not in the mood.”

Remus nodded, then turned to leave. Just before he could shut the door behind him, Sirius called, “Moony?”

Remus nearly tripped over himself as he hurried back through the door. “Yeah, Pads?”

Sirius grinned his lopsided grin. The one that made Remus’ head go fuzzy. “Thanks again. I love you too.”

Remus smiled back, then closed the door. He hardly noticed the way he pounded down the cold stone steps back into the common room, as he was too busy walking on air.

#nina writes #wolfstar #remus/sirius #remus lupin #harry potter #i wasn't totally satisfied with how this turned out #but i'm trying not to let that stop me from posting #sometimes i'll post fics that I'm not too confident about only to find that people absolutely love them #and sometimes i post fics that i'm crazy proud of that don't get much traction #it's all good practice!

Characters playing among us as a prompt?

Marauders Play Among Us (feat. LilyPetal, AliceInWonderland, and more)

(Youtuber Marauder AU)

PadFoot: Hello Everyone, and welcome back to another week of gameplay. Today, the Marauders are joined with some of our best friends from different platforms: LilyPetal, Marchinnon, Dorky, AliceInWonderland, and FranklyFrank

LilyPetal: Hello!

Marchinnon: Happy to be here.

Prongs: Yes, indeed, we’re lucky to have them on our gameplay this week. Because today we’re playing Among Us. That’s right. The boys and I have been playing this game nonstop for the past week and figured it was about time to show you all how terrible Wormtail is at it.

Wormtail: I resent that.

PadFoot: but he doesn’t oppose, because he knows it’s true.

Prongs: We all know the rules, it’s like Mafia or Werewolf, just online. Basically there are killers and innocent people and the innocent people have to guess who the killers are before they themselves get killed. It can be tricky and has started many many fights between us boys since we started playing.

Wormtail: Prongs didn’t buy me dinner because I killed him one time.

Prongs: I stand by that decision.

Moons: Alright boys, that’s enough chitchat, huh? So, as you all know, the Marauder boys all live in one house. In order to make things a bit more fair, we have all chosen a different room in the house so we can’t cheat. Hopefully March and Dorky will do the same?

Marchinnon: Dorky is in the kitchen, I’m in our bedroom.

Moons: Noted. Alright then, we’re playing the smallest of the maps, since it’s Frank’s first time and we wanted to go easy on him.

FranklyFrank: I hate all of you. Let’s do this.

5-4-3-2-1

*Mics/Cams are muted as the game starts*

-Sirius POV-

Pads: Okay, so I’m a crewmate. That means I get to run around and do some tasks, which is fun. Sometimes, (oh there’s Frank and March, leaving weapons), sometimes I get so tied up in tasks that I get annoyed when people find dead bodies cause it stops me from doing my tasks.

-Remus POV-

Moons: 100 pounds that Pads isn’t it. Look at him. He’s just running around doing tasks. Yup, there’s the task bar going up. Can’t be Pads.

-Frank POV-

FranklyFrank: How the fuck do I kill someone? Where’s the... how do I... shit.

-Marlene-

Marchinnon: Okay, so Frank has been following me around quite a bit, which is a bit sus, to be frank. But I’m going to medbay, so hopefully he doesn’t kill me while I do my scan.

*Frank stabs Marlene*

Marchinnon: BITCH! That devious bastard. I hate him. UGH!

-Dorcas POV-

Dorky: Okay, I can hear Mars yelling, meaning that she’s definitely dead. So she wasn’t the killer. I’m gonna go and find her body hopefully.

-Lily POV-

LilyPetal: pew, pew, pew. Yes! Okay, on to O2. Here we go. Okay, hi Prongs. Please don’t kill me while I get rid of these leaves. Thank youuu.

*James shoots Lily*

LilyPetal: NO! I... I trusted you! Ah Frank, find my body. Come on, come on buddy. Find itttt! Wait, no, Frank where are you... You just walked over my dead body. Okay, It’s definitely Frank and James. Pricks.

-James POV-

Prongs: I just had to kill Lily, which may mean she won’t go out with me for dinner later tonight. A real shame. Maybe I’ll take Pads.

*BODY WAS DISCOVERED*

Moons: Shit, two already?

Dorky: I found Mars’s body in Medbay.

Prongs: Okay, where was everyone? Wormy, where are you?

Wormtail: I’m, uhhh, I’m in reactor.

Prongs: Close to Medbay, then, wouldn’t you say?

Wormtail: sod off Prongs, I’m doing the button pushing task where it plays and you have to copy it. This is my third try.

PadFoot: Worms, that really isn’t that hard.

Prongs: Alice, where were you?

AliceInWonderland: I’m in shields.

Prongs: Franky?

FranklyFrank: I’m in Nav.

Moons: I can vouch for Alice, I’m in shields too. She hasn’t killed me yet.

AliceInWonderland: Yet?! What is that supposed to mean?

Moons: I’m saying you’re fine, Alice, you’re not sus yet.

AliceInWonderland: Jesus.

Prongs: Well, I’m in storage.

Moons: and we don’t know where Lily’s body is yet.

*Lily and Marlene are muted because they’re dead*

LilyPetal: FUCK ALL OF YOU. James, I will never forgive you for this. I want that to be known.

Prongs: Well, I don’t know if there is enough info this time.

LilyPetal: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Moons: Shall we skip then?

PadFoot: Yeah, let’s skip.

*Next Round Starts*

-James POV-

Prongs: I can feel Lily’s anger. She’s not even here, and I can feel it. I’m so screwed.

-Lily POV-

LilyPetal: I’m gonna haunt this bitch for the rest of the round. Fuck tasks. I’m just gonna follow him.

-Frank POV-

FranklyFrank: Alright, so I’m currently with Remus and Alice. They’re sticking together, it looks like. So, they can be my cover story. This game really isn’t that difficult. Oh, Peter’s going into Admin. I’m gonna go kill him.

*Frank stabs Peter*

FranklyFrank: Got him. Vent away, vent away!

-Peter POV-

Wormtail: NOOOOOOO FRANKLINNNNNN!!!!

-Sirius POV-

PadFoot: Alright, well, Worms is definitely dead. He’s too easy to not kill off. So I’m gonna try and find his... James? James, what are you doing? No, no, no, no, noooooooo RUUUUUUNNNN!!!!

-James POV-

Prongs: Kill him, kill him, kill him...

*James shoots Sirius*

Prongs: HA! okay, two more. Let’s go Franky boy.

-Marlene POV-

Marchinnon: I want to save Dorky, but I don’t know how. I know that Frank is gonna try and kill- OH MY GOD! Prongs just killed Pads. He killed him. No!

-Alice POV-

AliceInWonderland: I’m pretty sure it’s Frank. He just seemed a little, I don’t know... Sus. Ope, here he is now, and there’s Prongs. Okay... Little Sus, not gonna lie.

*James stabs Remus, Frank shoots Alice*

AliceInWonderland: CALLED IT! I CALLED that!

*Victory for the Imposters*

Prongs: Hell yeah, Franky Boyyyy!!

Moons: I can’t believe you won you first round of this and no one suspected you at all.

AliceInWonderland: I did! I totally knew it was him.

Moons: Well, why didn’t you say anything?

LilyPetal: James, I want you to know that we’re broken up.

Prongs: Noooooo, Lils. I’m sorry! You were just an easy target.

LilyPetal: Broken up.

PadFoot Okay, next round?

Dorky: Let’s go kids.

*Next Round Starts and everyone Mutes*

-Sirius POV-

PadFoot: Crewmate again. Okay. This time, I’m gonna call Moony so we can team up.

Moons through the phone: Hello?

PadFoot: Hey! Let’s stick together so we don’t die, yeah?

Moons: Deal.

-Remus POV-

Moons: Okay, so I have Pads following me. But I’m one of the imposters, so that’s gonna be fun. But, we’ll let it be for a bit. See what happens.

-Dorcas POV-

Dorky: ~How could I make a man, out of yooooooou~ Ope, there’s James. Hello my friend. Trying to swipe your card? I know he always does this task too fast so he has to do it like four times. So... I’m gonna kill him.

*Dorcas stabs James*

Dorky: That’s for Lily. Hopefully she feels avenged. I’m gonna turn the lights off.

-Lily POV-

LilyPetal: alright, so, I have an electrical task. Which is stressful. Because everyone dies in electrical. So, we’re gonna try to be very careful. Okay, Hi Moons, Pads. Pleasure. Just here to fix the lights. Okay they left.

-Peter POV-

Wormtail: I hate it here, I hate it here, I hate it here. Running to admin nowwww, and I hate it here. I always die or get blamed. I’m really a victim. It’s so annoying. Okay... Dorky’s in here. Gonna just check the cams.

*Dorcas stabs Peter*

Wormtail:.... Fuck.

*Dead Body Reported*

LilyPetal: HA! James is dead. Thank you to whoever killed him.

PadFoot: Yeah, cause that’s not sus at all, Lils.

LilyPetal: If I had killed him, I would have freely admitted it.

Marchinnon: Facts.

Moons: Okay, where was the body?

AliceInWonderland: Nav. I’m in here with Frank. So it’s not either of us.

Dorky: Or it’s both of them and they’re covering for each other.

FranklyFrank: I’m sus on Dorky now. That’s exactly what an imposter would say.

Dorky: coming from one of the people in Nav, where there’s a dead body.

PadFoot: Well, I’ve been with Moons the whole time. We passed Lily in electric a while ago.

LilyPetal: Complete other side of the map.

Marchinnon: Did anyone see Wormy at all?

Dorky: I saw him in Caf earlier, I was on my way to upper engines.

LilyPetal: Okay, well I think it’s either Alice or Franklin. Because they wouldn’t reveal each other out of love and mutual respect.

AliceInWonderland: Fake news. I would 100% throw Frank under the bus if possible.

FranklyFrank: Thanks babe. I love you too.

Moons: I’m voting Alice. I think it was a self report.

PadFoot: I’m trusting Moony.

LilyPetal: Same.

*AliceInWonderland was Ejected*

*Everyone Mutes Again*

-Remus POV-

Moons: Alright, so now I have Pads with me. He still thinks we’re protecting each other. But really, he’s my alibi. So... I’m gonna pretend to have a task in electrical and kill him there. Okay, yup. Just stand there for a second Pads. Andddddd...

*Remus stabs Sirius*

Moons: Don’t trust anyone, bitch.

-Sirius POV-

PadFoot: I swear to God. He really... He really got me. He had me going that whole time. Son of a bitch. I trusted him. And he betrayed me.

*Dead Body Reported*

LilyPetal: I hate electrical.

FranklyFrank: I’m in Nav, I’m nowhere near electrical.

Marchinnon: I... I haven’t seen Dorky in a minute.

Dorky: I was in Medbay.

Moons: That’s cap. I’m in Medbay, and you’re not here.

Dorky: What? No you aren’t!

Moons: I 100% am. I just finished my scan. You are nowhere in here.

LilyPetal: Wait, Moons, weren’t you with Pads?

Moons: He broke off with me at shields. I had no idea he was in electrical.

FranklyFrank: and... now you’re in Medbay? Where there’s a vent that leads directly to electrical.

*The dead are muted, but are pissed*

PadFoot: YES FRANK! AVENGE ME!

Prongs: It’s Dorky. It’s Dorky! Come On!

Wormtail: I just wanna do my tasks.

LilyPetal: Honestly, Moons and Dorky are kinds sus. If Dorky isn’t in medbay, like she says, then it’s her. But if she is, and Remus is too, then it’s probably Remus because he would have vented.

Moons: I swear I didn’t see Dorky anywhere.

Marchinnon: I... Yeah. I think that may be fair.

Dorky: BABE!

Marchinnon: I’m sorry! I’m just saying! You were in Weapons, but you didn’t run into Caf, you ran down to O2. Meaning you were nowhere near Medbay.

LilyPetal: It’s Dorky, it’s Dorky!

FranklyFrank: I voted.

Moons: Yup.

Dorky: I hate all of you.

*Dorky was Ejected*

*All Mute again*

-Lily POV-

LilyPetal: alright, so we didn’t win. Which means that we voted Alice off for no reason. Sorry Alice. My bad. But that leaves Franky, Mars, and Remus. And I’m definitely sus of Remus, because Pads was literally glued to him, and now he’s dead. And he was in Medbay, where there is a vent. So, I’m thinking it’s Moons.

-Marlene POV-

Marchinnon: I’m scared. I’m scared of everyone.

-Remus POV-

Moons: Okay, I don’t have much time left, and Frank definitely suspects me. So, I’m gonna kill him. I had to vote Dorky off to save myself, but if I win, then she also wins.

-Frank POV-

FranklyFrank: I just, fuck. I just saw Remus. And I’m almost certain that he’s the imposter. And I’m not prepared. I am not PREPARED.

-Remus POV-

Moons: Run while you can, Frank. I’m almost there.

*Remus stabs Frank*

Moons: There it is. THERE IT IS.

*Victory for the Imposters*

Dorky: YEAH MOONY!

PadFoot: I fucking hate you, you asshole.

Moons: I’m sorry, it was just too easy.

Prongs: Gotta pick better teammates next time, Pads.

PadFoot: Yeah, well, Lily was glad you were dead. So, who’s the real loser here?

LilyPetal: Valid point.

PadFoot: I’ll never get over this betrayal, Remus. I want you to know that right now.

Moons: Well, I won. So I think I’ll be fine.

*Everyone Laughs as the Video Fades*

---------------------

Hi! If you haven’t played Among Us, either go play it, watch other people play it, or don’t read this story, lol. It’s all I’ve been doing the past four days.

Here’s a note though, for all y’all. If you’re playing Among Us with strangers, DO NOT give your information out. Not your snap, or your instagram, tumblr, anything. Just don’t. People will exploit you and I want y’all to be safe. Also, there are some real assholes playing that game. So if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, just leave the game.

I love y’all. Be safe!

And now, Marlene and Sirius were so obviously and very badly pretending to be together, Dorcas and Remus were off being heart broken in the library, James and Peter were too hungover to notice anything apparently, and Lily was a hair’s width away from losing her shit.

She couldn’t decide who she should glare at first.

This fic is a wonderful delight to read, essentially summarised in the extracted quote from a frustrated Lily’s perspective: or, the pining fic feat. some oblivious teens.

Fooling You? Series

Fooling You? Chapter 4: For when two are gone the third will speak

Warnings: swearing

Taglist: @treestarrrrrrrr

Fooling you Masterlist

A/N: so I changed Marlene’s story a little in this story to her transferring to hogwarts the summer before her 5th year not six for something later on in the story. Also for the sake of the story and something that will appear more important later we are going to assume that Grindelwald’s patronus is a phoenix like Dumbledore.

Song: A Sweeter Place by Selena Gomez ft. Kid Cudi

Chapter 4: For when two are gone the third will speak

———————————————————————

“Sorry about Marlene. She’s usually worked up after Quidditch practice.” Says Dorcas.

“Oh that’s okay.” I get out before Lily who also steps in to diffuse the tension Marlene left in her wake.

“She’s going through some stuff as well, but she also transferred here last summer so she knows what its like to be in your position. She was excited to hear we were getting a new roommate.”

“Oh, that’s a bit of relief.”

“Yeah, should we head down to the common room? Maybe meet some of the students?” Lily suggests.

“Um would it be alright if I just rest for a minute?” I ask feeling slightly tired and uncomfortable at my new dynamic in life.

“Oh sure! Why don’t we, Dorcas, go get snacks and drinks and we can hang out here for the night?” Lily suggest to me and Dorcas.

“Sounds good to me, thank you Lily.” I reply. She seems nice enough maybe I won’t have to convince too hard on my story.

“Of course.” Lily smiles.

“We want you to feel welcome. I’m sure its all a lot to take in right now.” Dorcas chimes in with a smile. I return her smile and Lily and Dorcas leave. I sit on my bed and lie back as I put my arm over my eyes.

“Hey, you’re the new roommate right?” I hear the door squeak open and sit up to see Marlene drying her hair in a towel with her fluffy bathrobe on.

“Yes. I’m y/n.”

“Marlene. Nice to meet you. Sorry about earlier quidditch takes out the worst in me sometimes. It’s those slimy Slytherins.” Marlene explains.

“Oh, well I, um, might I ask what is quidditch?” I stammer.

“Darling you don’t know what quidditch is?”

“..no...” I say nervously. Am I supposed to just know this?

“Well, darling,” she starts and has a seat next to me. “It’s a vigorous sport that is kind of like lacrosse but on broomsticks and there’s this special ball called the golden snitch to which if the seeker catches it earns the team 150 points and therefore wins the game.” She rambles on. I’m still slightly confused at the explanation and she must see it on my face because she says next, “You’ll understand once you see it in person.”

“What else does Hogwarts have?” I ask.

“Well besides the one sport and the triwizard cup, the school works on a point system by the houses. Did Dumbledore explain any of this?” She asks.

“Not a thing.” I reply with a sigh.

“Oh hey it’s okay. I was new too and it’s a weird adjustment but you got the best roommates and just wait til you meet the boys.” She says getting up at the end with a big smile on her face. She gets her clothes and heads to the bathroom but leaves the door slightly cracked to keep talking to me.

“They are just the craziest motherfuckers you’ll ever meet here. Troublemakers they are, but nonetheless the best Hogwarts has to offer. Don’t even get me started on how they look! All of them are handsome in their own way. Oh but stay away from-“ she cuts short as we both hear the room door open. I sit up from the bed on my elbows to see Lily and Dorcas come in.

“Lily Fire is that you?” Marlene calls.

“Yes.” Lily replies and smiles at me. Dorcas comes over with a drinks in hand and lets me choose what I want. I go for a grape soda and thank her.

“I was just about to tell our new roomie about the boys!�� She calls a bit louder as she turns on the blow dryer.

“Oh.” Lily looks over at me. “What did she say?”

“Handsome troublemakers.” I breathe after taking a sip of my drink.

Lily chuckles at this and nods agreeing with the statement. “That they are. Maybe you’ll meet them tomorrow.”

“Isn’t there a-” Dorcas tries to say, but Marlene quickly and loudly chimes in as she exits the bathroom, “PARTY!”

“Oh! You came just in time for the party!” Marlene squeals out while the bottle cap makes a ‘pop’ as she opens it. That I did. I wonder if I can get my hands on that sweet drug again here, probably best I don’t since I was left passed out for a day… I think.

“Do you like parties?” Dorcas asks me drawing me out of my thoughts.

“Yeah. Parties are like my sweeter place.”

“HAhaha oh I like you.” Marlene laughs out.

“We should take you to hogsmeade tomorrow with us to gather some supplies for the party and not to mention your school things as well.” Lily suggests.

“Sounds great. I am low on ink and paper.”

“Excellent. I’ll wake you tomorrow then.”

“Sure.” I replied with a smile.

“We ought to get new party clothes. I’m tired of my old ones.” Dorcas whines.

“Good thinking Dorcas! You guys get the supplies and me and Dorcas will get us party outfits.” Marlene shares.

“Oh that’s okay I don’t-”

“Don’t you dare say you don’t need any, because you can never have enough party clothes.” Marlene points an accusing finger at me. I decide to not challenge it and let her be in her bliss. They really are a cool group of friends. I look at Lily who is laughing at Marlene who exaggerates how she’s going to make us all look hot and Dorcas tries to hide her giggling. I think we’ll get along fine. I hope that we can. I would hate to be alone in my last two years of school since after I graduate I will be all alone.

I finally feel like I can flourish here and be a little more honest. I am so close to home now and I can feel the darkness in me wanting to seep out. I have to be careful around here for the next couple weeks until I can find a place to keep up my practice in the dark arts. I saw a woods right outside of school. I could go there. It's called the forbidden forest right? So I shouldn’t have to worry about being spotted.

We all talk amongst each other, and they mostly ask if I'm comfortable. I appreciate their concern and hope I can adjust quickly to the change. Soon time flies by and its shortly past midnight. We all get ready for bed and I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change quickly while I'm in there. I take a look at my right hip side and there my tattoo lays in all its glory. A phoenix representing my patronus. How odd that me, Grindelwald, and Dumbledore all share the same patronus. Fate must know something I don’t.

I head to bed saying my goodnight to the others and let the covers envelop me softly and I quickly draw my eyes close and sleep overtakes me.

Marauders POV

“Y/n.” Lily calls softly after a few minutes y/n goes to bed.

“Y/n!” Marlene calls out a bit louder and lily quickly shoots her a glare and a shush.

“What? You were never going to find out if you whispered it.” She shrugs. Lily shakes her and gets out of bed putting on her slippers.

“Let’s just go.” She whispers into the dark and the other girls shuffle out of bed quietly as they put on their slippers and robes to leave the bedroom.

They descend the stairs from their dorm quietly and quickly to meet the others in the common room. There they were in all their disastrous glory. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. James sat on the couch as Remus sat on the armchair of the couch on the other side. Sirius stood by the fireplace that is ablaze warming the room nicely while having a smoke. Peter sat on the floor hugging his knees near the fireplace.

“Well hello ladies. Glad you could join us.” James announced making all the other boys turn their attention to them.

“Let’s make this quick then.” Lily strikes back. James can’t help but smirk at her snarkiness. Lily and Dorcas both take a seat on the couch and Marlene pushes her way past Sirius to get to the chair across the room. You could say a cold lightning bolt struck between them leaving the room with a bit a tension no one asked for but got anyway.

James commences the meeting. “Dumbledore sends his regards for not being able to host our meeting tonight seeing as he matters to attend to regarding our new student. He would like a report from you ladies soon about her behavior and what she tells you.”

“Of course.” Lily reassured.

“Have you guys managed to find anything?” Remus questions.

“No. She barely had anything with her when she came to hogwarts. Just some clothes and books. There is a picture of her and her mom. Nothing suspicious though. We already know about that.” Lily answered.

“She does like parties though.” Marlene speaks up. “We are actually taking her out to Hogsmeade tomorrow.”

“You’re what?” Sirius perks up at this.

“Open your ears, black.” Marlene spits out with a roll of her eyes.

“You don’t even know her.” He comments. He holds a deadly cold stare towards Marlene who pretends to not notice his existence.

“That’s why we are taking her, dumbass. It’s our mission to get to know her and trying to do that by cooping her up in the room is not going to help.” Marlene claimed as she now returned his stare with a cold one of her own. Hell could freeze over with the look they are giving each other now.

“She’s right, Sirius.” Lily starts. “Taking her to Hogsmeade can get her to trust us and she needs supplies.” Marlene gets a ‘hmph’ in triumph as Lily finishes. Black sighs and looks towards James. James shrugs knowing they are right.

“Maybe we should go with you guys?” Sirius suggest.

“Ugh no we don’t need you guys. We are going girl shopping.”

“Like i care about your shopping spree, but we could hang in the back.” Sirius and Marlene start to argue and as they go back and forth on the distaste for each other everyone else is already sighing and tryng to block out of the two, but they keep getting louder and louder and Lily just snaps, “ENOUGH!”

“Me and the girls can handle y/n. You guys need to set up the party or did you forget?”

“How can you say that? We know she’s powerful and don't forget who got you the entail on her. If they want her, who's to say they won’t come after her there? Who is to say she isn’t already in contact with them and it’s a trap? She could hurt you guys.” Black responds in a single breath of all the things that could be wrong with the situation.

“Sirius, we appreciate your concern.” Lily speaks. Marlene scoffs at this. “But we can handle whatever comes. We are strong together and if she is as powerful as you think who is to say she isn't just as perceptive. She could catch on to the four boys who are following us around a small market area. If something is wrong we will call for you guys.” Dorcas nods in agreement which reassures Remus who finds himself nodding a little as well and then quickly stops with a slight blush realizing what he was doing.

“That’s my girl.” James boasts and Lily hits him on the shoulder. “Not your girl.”

“I don’t like it, but fine. Goodnight everyone, except Muddy.” Sirius says using the ugly nickname towards Marlene who sticks her tongue out towards him as he throws his cigarette in the fire and walks towards the descending stairs to the boys dorm.

Everyone says their goodnight to each other and walk away to their respective dorms. Little does y/n know about the meeting that took place as she has a vivid dream where she sees Grindelwald in his small cell.

“Gell.” She whispers in her sleep before the others enter and fall asleep as well unbeknownst to her dream and her of their secret meeting.

A Dog in the Testing Studio: DGC Ending #4 feat. Sirius Black

I had a reader suggest that I post all the endings to Don’t Get Caught for everyone to read, and since this was a Christmas/holiday present, I’ve decided to go ahead and do that! I’ll link back to the first fic and all the endings at the bottom! I hope you all enjoy and expect more from this series in the future!

———————————————————————————————————

Your brain was still in a haze from everything Sirius had said. He’d been so warm and amiable when you were alone, but something more primal seemed to jump out when confronted by the situation with James. He was clearly protective of you and saw something in you that you couldn’t really fathom. You recalled everything that happened on Friday, the memory seared into your consciousness. It was refreshing to interact with someone so direct and honest about his feelings. It was still hard to believe that he would only want to date one person, and how that one person could be you. The way he said it so casually didn’t seem real. There was no shortage of women eager to get their claws into the handsome young man, so why would he willingly choose to commit to one?

You had packed up your things and were getting ready to leave, but you wanted to stop into the loo first. As you walked down the hall, you noticed a pair of people through the window of the testing studio, one with wavy dirty blonde hair and one with shorter black hair. Sirius and one of your female coworkers. You grimaced, hurrying past. When you came out, the girl had disappeared and Sirius was sitting alone. Steeling yourself, you knocked on the door, going in when you heard his affirmation. It was already past five, but you couldn’t leave without quieting the anxiety pulsing in your chest.

Sirius swiveled around on his stool and a grin danced across his cheeks when he saw you. You attempted to smile, but the little green monster was pulling your strings at the moment. Sirius seemed to sense something was off, so he motioned for you to sit on the stool beside him. You did, purposefully taking care not to brush up against him.

“I’m surprised you didn’t rush out of here as soon as the clock struck 5, Cinderella! I would apparate right onto my sofa with an evil step-boss like Skeeter. Sorry, I’ll stop with the princess metaphor, despite its accuracy…” he chuckled and rolled his eyes, but the laughter died quickly when he didn't get a response. He paused to analyze your reaction before speaking.

“Alright, Y/N, what’s on your mind? You look as though someone’s spat in your morning coffee, love. What can a handsome devil like me do to cure your blues?”

You rubbed your arms, which were wrapped defensively across your chest. You didn’t want to so easily fall prey to his charms. Who knows what he’d been saying to the other girl who’d just been occupying the same place?

“What are your real intentions toward me, Sirius? I felt like we were… having a moment on Friday night, and the way you were acting today… I think it went a bit beyond the call of duty of a friend. But you didn’t invite me to lunch—Remus did—and we didn’t really talk at all this weekend up until lunch today. Are you not… do you regret what transpired between us?” Your foot was tapping wildly on the bottom rung of the stool, and you couldn’t meet Sirius’ eyes. He gasped softly.

“What would make you think I’d changed my tune, Y/N? I feel like I’ve been pretty clear about my feelings and desires. You’re not imagining things, if that's what you're afraid of... honestly, I thought you might've given up on me.” He sounded very, well, serious and almost pained. You rolled your shoulders back, still upset.

“Look, Y/L/N, I'm going to repeat that I want to be your boyfriend. There, I said it, plain and simple. I want to go flying, dancing, stargazing, adventuring and more with you… even partying again, as long as it isn’t as lame as the first half of Friday evening,” he chuckled before reaching forward and tipping up your chin, “but sweetheart, you have to give me a chance. I know you have your pick of the litter with the wizards in this office and any other bloke anywhere else, but I… I want you to pick me. Please.”

The tone of his voice was nearing begging, and as you looked into his stormy grey eyes, he looked like a lost little Crup. You just needed one teensy clarification, despite this clear confession.

“The girl in here earlier… that was just work, right?” Sirius blinked, dropping his hand. Slowly, a laugh wormed its way through his whole body, and he nearly fell off his stool cackling so hard. You pouted, feeling annoyed. He wiped at his eyes.

“I would never hit on Dorcas when Remus big-time fancies her, Y/N. Anyway, she’s not my type. I like a woman with more bite and spirit. Like you.” He winked, holding out his hand to you with his palm up as an invitation. You took it, and he pulled you toward him, forcing you to stand between his legs and look down at him. He reached up with his other hand and pushed your hair back behind your right ear, smiling fondly. That was enough for you. You couldn’t help yourself, feeling the body heat emanating off him from such proximity.

You leaned down and sealed the moment with a kiss. Sirius jolted a little at first before wrapping one arm around your waist and weaving the other into your hair. The kiss was fervent and hot, and soon Sirius was leaning back against the console, his legs tucking your body flush against his. You never wanted the moment to end, but you were interrupted by a high-pitched whistle. You and Sirius broke apart, and he chuckled when he realized it was a recorded track that began playing when his back hit a button.

“We can take it slow if you’re not completely sure, you know…”

“I appreciate the chivalry, but I’ve made up my mind and I’m set on you, Sirius. Can’t imagine a more annoyingly delightful boyfriend.” You snickered, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. He pulled you back and reaffirmed his acceptance severally against your lips and trailing down your temple. Not such a blue Monday after all! Now, if only the studio didn’t have a large window to put you on display for the person coming down the hall...
