Vanilla Ice Cream
When Lily gets ill, who better but her co-Head Boy to take care of her.
Inspired by the songs "Where's My Shoe" and "Vanilla Ice Cream" from the (in my opinion, underrated) musical She Loves Me.
@jilymicrofics Feb challenge Day 3: Care (yes, I know I'm late) (932 words)
Read on A03 (or below)
“Lancelot!” proclaimed a boy with unruly black hair, and the portrait to the Head’s Common Room swung open. The boy did not waste a second to climb through the door and to reach the red-haired (and also red-nosed due to all the sneezing) girl stirring on the sofa, a blanket covering her, with a flask of probably-now cold tea and a huge box of tissues on the table in front of the sofa.
“Oh good, you’re awake” he said “How are you feeling?”
“Bit better, head’s still throbbing a bi-choo!” The boy smiled down at her. He couldn’t believe how adorable she was, even when she was ill; even when her hair went in all directions and was frizzy, even when her nose was as red as said hair, even when despite the red nose, the rest of her skin was almost ghost white and there were dark circles under her eyes; even with all that she was still the most beautiful thing in existence.
He's loved taking care of his very ill friend; he would do it for the rest of their lives if she let him.
The girl looked around to the window outside, and must have noticed the sun was on the verge of setting….
“Oh Merlin! What time is it?!”
“Nearly half past 6. Don’t worry, I’ve brought you up a snack-“
“WHAT! Why didn’t you wake me up before, Ja-choo! I’ve got to go for rounds! I can’t be late for the first Heads-round of the year!” Lily stood up threw off the blanket and started rummaging around the floor, though he swore she swayed a little bit while doing so. “Where’s my shoe?!”
James looked at her bewildered, pushing his glasses further up his nose. “Lily,” he said calmly “Do you honestly think you can go on rounds tonight? You look awful.”
“Of course I ca-choo!”
“You’ve been asleep all afternoon, you’re still in your pyjamas!” Very cute ones he would add too.
“I’m much better now”
“You sure about that?”
“Of course I am! Where have you hidden my shoe?”
“I think you should lie back down Lily-“
“Don’t just stand there, help me find my other shoe!”
“You can barely stand up. You’re still shivering”
“Don’t lie to me James Potter, where’s my shoe?!”
“Evans, you’re hysterical! Sit down!”
“I will not sit down Potter until I have found my God-damn shoe!!”
Right, James thought. That’s it; and before she knew what was happening, James picked her up, almost flinging her onto his right shoulder. Lily struggled wildly against him, kicking ferociously and batting her fists against his back.
“Put me down Potter! RIGHT NOW!!”
“No way Evans. Not until you realise that there is no way you would be well enough to step out of the common room door, let alone go and do your usual rounds all over the school!”
Almost instantly she stopped kicking and almost seemed to sag into his shoulder.
“ACHOO!”
Well that was it then wasn’t it? She knew when to give up. Almost instantly, Lily felt herself being gently dropped from James’ hold back onto the sofa, laying her down. He draped her tartan blanket back over her, and she felt an instant warmth from it. She hadn’t realised just how cold she had been without it draped over her and she left out a huge shiver.
“I’m sorry” she whimpered quietly. “But who’s going to do rounds if not me-choo!”
James laughed. “Don’t you worry about that Flower. Anyway, I’ve got you a present.”
“Have you really? I bet its homework”
“Better than that! I know this is your favourite flavour, so here you are, sorry if it has melted a bit…” And from his robes, James pulled out a tub of vanilla ice cream and a spoon. A little bit of colour returned to her pale face, blushing from her cheeks.
“Where did you get this?”
“Kitchens. One of the House Elves served my parents before we set him free to help Dumbledore here. So I always like to pop down occasionally.”
He handed down the tub of ice cream to Lily, coincidentally brushing her hands. She started looking at the packaging on the ice cream, gingerly turning the tub round and round in her hands.
“When I was little” she said “My mum always used to give me this when I was under the weather. That’s why it’s my favourite” She took the spoon from James hand and took a small scoop of the now very soft ice cream. It was delicious.
“Thank you James”
He beamed down at her.
“Now, you get plenty of rest and eat, you’ll feel better. Oh, and don’t worry about a thing, I’ll take care of everything” He bent down and gave the top of her head a light kiss. “And you’re welcome.” He got up, dusted down his robes turned around but paused.
“James are you ok?”
“Under the weather?”
“What do you mean?”
“What does ‘under the weather’ mean?”
Lily laughed. “It’s just a Muggle saying. Sorry, I shouldn’t blurt them out like that, I forgot you don’t always understa-choo!”
James sent one last smile her way before heading out of the portrait door hole.
Lily reached out for the ice cream again and started eating, and with each mouthful of sweet vanilla, she felt a little better, she could feel it; though by the time she got to sleep, there was something that still bugged her – she still couldn’t work out why her head was tingling just as much as her tongue….. She was simply stunned!

“Are you trying to turn me on right now? Because it's working”
#25-“Are you trying to turn me on right now? Because it's working” from @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world's @jilytober prompts
Rated T- 7th year Jily
“I think I’ve finally cracked it!” James called triumphantly from the desk next to hers. They had been holed up in their office for the better part of the last two and a half hours working through the complex scheduling of prefect patrols for the start of the year. It seemed like an unsolvable jigsaw puzzle- between availability, commitments, exam schedules, and pairing their 7th year prefects as mentors with the 5th years.
“How?” Lily crossed the short distance between them, placing a hand on his shoulder as she peered over it. 
Habitually, James shoved a hand through his hair, “Yes, look here–,” he reached over for another sheet of parchment on the desk, “See, I realized that I could also re-adjust the quidditch pitch schedules, which would allow Ravenclaw to move to Thursday mornings and Slytherin to Wednesday evenings, which is great because….”
“...Because that would free up Diggory, Bones, and Abbot….” Lily’s eyes widened as her mind began to connect the pieces and following their cascading effects. She leaned in closer, both hands now hanging onto James arm. Never had she ever been more excited about a patrol schedule. 
“...And make sure our 6th years can study before their rotating Friday practice NEWT courses…” James turned to her his eyes alight with excitement. After the initial shock of learning who her co-Head was, Lily was only pleasantly surprised at how wonderful of a partner James turned out to be.
“Oh. My. Merlin. You did do it!” Lily squealed, reaching an arm around James’ shoulders into a side hug and feeling his arm snake around her waist as he returned the embrace, “Are you trying to turn me on, right now? Because it’s working.” Lily threw her head back as she laughed.
“Oh?” His tone had deepened and she felt his fingers flexed into her hip, “So this is doing for you, is it Evans? Patrol scheduling?”
Lily pulled back to meet his eyes, still alight and playful but darkening, his smile transforming into a sidesmirk. She inhaled, “Big time, I could kiss you right now.”
“Yeah?”  James’ frame had leaned subtly forward and suddenly Lily was acutely aware that her face was painstakingly close to his own. The flecks of gold that speckled his hazel eyes, the bob of his Adam’s apple as he swallowed, the slight parting of his lips.
“Yeah…” she trailed off nervously, damning the blush as it crept over her face.
“I’d be game.” His own eyes trace her face, dipping down her neck and back to her eyes searching for a response. He reached to remove her arm from around his shoulder and place it on his cheek, turning to press a kiss to her palm. Without conscious thought, Lily slid her hand to his hair gripping softly and pulling his lips to hers.

@jilychallenge2023 @jilychallenge | August: Movie & TV quotes | partner @sapphire1616 | Prompt: “So pick me, choose me, love me.”
A Reason To Fight
Read it on AO3. Rated Teen+ | 1.7k
Snippet:
He briefly stopped scratching his quill over parchment to glance at the fifth floor again. It was almost curfew and Lily would be leaving charms club at any moment. Not that he’d made a habit of learning Lily’s schedule. He hadn’t. They lived together, it was surely expected that he’d eventually learn her habits. He’d not memorised them or anything. That’d be weird. That was not something platonic, friendly co-heads did.

alr who wants me to write a rosekiller fic thats canon compliant and long. i dont have the energy for 1st to 5th year (maybe a couple chapters to show the important stuff) but i would do 6th all the way until after goblet of fire!! it would be from barty's POV of course, and would have kinda... insane rosekiller? it would also have unrequited bartylus im thinking hmmm hm my brain is thinking. it would also have jegulus but end with jily because canon. it would also have reg's plotline of the horcrux, and also have pandora and barty after the war. panda trying to carry on the horcrux hunt. dorc's revenge era after marls dies. i would also want it to be very raw, like proper proper canon compliant. so like no comfort, no fluff (well, maybe some, but not overall), just literal insane love. and martyrdom and his father's abuse and unrequited love and morally bad characters and so much pain.
only writing it though if people want it. so like. tell me if you do :)

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: The Effects of Amortentia
James' POV:
"Ya, we kissed goodnight when I walked her back to her common room." Peter says as he tells us about his study date with Greta last night.
"On the lips?" Remus asks.
Peter nods with a smile, "Way to go, mate!" Sirius high fives him.
"Wormy, you're getting more action then me, now!" I laugh.
"Stop being so love sick over Evans and you'd be getting more then any of us!" He chuckles.
"Ya, ya." I roll my eyes with a smile.
"Oh and look, here comes Ms future Potter now!" Sirius says, nodding his head towards the girls walking into the great hall to join us for breakfast.
"Morning boys." Marlene says as she takes a seat next to Sirius.
"Morning, Lils." I smile at her as she slides into the seat next to me.
"Mmm." She groans as she reaches for the coffee pot to pour herself a mug.
"Someone's a bit grumpy this morning because she thought it would be smart to not go to bed until 3am." Hestia laughs.
"Well we've got potions in half an hour so hopefully that will cheer her up, ay Lily?" I say.
She looks at me with a glare, "Stop talking to me until this mug is empty."
"Ok." I laugh.
I look up so I can join into the conversation that Remus and Alice are having on the other side of me and catch a glimpse of Sirius staring at Remus as he talks. He is leaning his face on his hand and looking directly as Remus' lips as they move, reminding me of what he always calls me out for doing with Lily. He breaks his own trance and turns, catching me watch him. I raise my eyebrows slightly and smile before going back to the scrambled eggs on my plate.
About 15 minutes later, Lily, Marlene, Remus and I make our way to potions together. When we arrive we see that the table at the front of the room has a potion in the middle of it, I recognize the potion immediately as Amortentia by its mother-of-pearl sheen and the steamy spirals in the air above it.
"Hello class," Professor Slughorn says once everyone is seated. "Today, we are going to be learning the characteristics and dangers of this very potion I have here, as well as learn how to make it. Can anyone tell me what this potion is?" He asks.
"That's Amortentia, sir. The most powerful love potion in the world." Lily answers.
Slughorn smiles proudly, "Correct, Ms. Evans. 10 points to Gryffindor. Can you tell the class how to recognize this potion?"
"Well it has a very distinctive pearly sheen to it, as well as the spirals that accumulate above it in the steam." Lily answers.
"Correct. This information will be on the final exam, so please take note of it." Slughorn announces. "This potion also has a very unique characteristic of smelling different to every one whom smells it. That smell represents what one finds attractive. For example, if the person you love has a certain scent, the potion will smell the same. Would anyone like to come up and take a whiff and possibly share with the class?"
Almost everyone raises their hand and Slughorn chooses a few people to come up, myself, Lily, and Remus included.
I walk up and smell the potion, smells like Lily, no surprise.
"What do you smell, Mr Potter?"
"Um, strawberries, cinnamon, and coffee." I answer, glancing at Remus who give me a knowing smile.
I go back to my desk as Lily bends down slightly to smell it. She thinks for a moment, trying to figure out what it is that she's smelling, and then her eyes widen and she goes a bit red before quickly walking back to sit next in front of me, next to Marlene.
What did she smell, I wonder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily's POV:
James.
No.
No.
NO!
I did not just smell James bloody Potter in that Amortentia. There's no way.
"Are you ok?" Marlene whispers as Slughorn goes on with his lesson.
I look at her, probably looking quite distressed, "No. I need to talk to you after class. With Alice and Hestia too though."
She nods, looking concerned, "Of course, Lils."
I somehow make it through the rest of the class without crying. What is wrong with me?
"You guys want to hangout with us in the head commons for a bit?" James asks.
"No thanks." I say, before leaving the room.
Marlene jogs up to me, "Lily, what's going on?"
"Just get Alice and Hestia and come to my room, ok?" I respond.
She nods and turns around to go find them and I basically run to my room so that James and Remus don't catch up to me.
When I get to my room I sit on my bed and put my face in my hands. I can't decide how I feel about these feelings. I can't think about James right now because it makes me feel giddy and sick at the same time.
There's a knock on my door, "Who is it?" I ask.
"It's us." Hestia responds.
"Come in," they walk in, all looking worried. "Are the guys down there? Close the door."
"Are you ok, Lily?" Alice asks as they all take a seat on my bed with me.
"No." I shake my head.
"What's wrong?" Marlene asks.
"Please don't laugh or say I told you so or anything, ok?" I say, specifically talking to Marlene because, despite how much she cares about me, I know how badly she'll want to say that.
"Of course." Hestia replies.
I look down at my hand and feel my face heat up, "I think- I know-" I pause, not wanting to say it. "I fancy James. Like a lot."
There's a pause before anyone responds, probably trying to figure out something other then "No shit." or "You just realized that?" to say.
"Oh." Marlene finally responds.
"Ya.." I look at her and see the slight smile on her face.
"Did you smell him in the Amortentia?" She asks, realizing the cause for my mood throughout class.
"Ya. Smelt like leather from his Quidditch uniform mixed with sweat and that stupid honey shampoo he uses." I reply.
"Well, why are you upset that you like him?" Alice asked with a sweet smile.
"Because then he wins." I answer honestly.
"Wins?" Hestia says, confused.
"Yes," I insist. "All these years, it always been, 'Hey Evans, I know you like me, go out with me.' and 'Shove off, Potter, you're a prick and I will never ever go out with you'. Me liking him means he won."
Marlene laughs, "I think it's time to stop being so stubborn and put that behind you, Lils."
"Ya. Plus, I don't think that was ever a game to him. He's crazy about you." Alice adds.
I roll me eyes, "Ok I get that but, I don't know. I guess, I'm scared."
"Of what?" Hestia asks.
"I've never really liked anyone this much before. I mean, I know I've gone out with quite a few people but it's never been serious. I don't know how to act." I admit.
"Act like yourself, Lily." Alice smiles.
"How are you feeling though? I mean, do you want to actually go out with him? Like as boyfriend and girlfriend." Marlene asks. "Cause you two are already so cute together, I think I'd explode if you were dating."
I laugh, "I don't know. I think so. I guess I've always just thought the constant smirking and hair touching was annoying... but now I kind of want to kiss the smirk off his face and run my hand through his hair for him." I smile.
I look up and all three of them are smiling so big at me.
"Well what are you going to do? Are you gonna ask him out?" Hestia asks.
"Not right now. I need a bit more time to come to terms with the fact that I like James Potter." I cringe as I say the last part, causing the girls to laugh.
"Wanna join them downstairs? Test out how chill you can act in front of him now and give us some entertainment." Marlene smiles.
I roll my eyes, "Sure."
We walk downstairs and of course, the girls take every other available seat, forcing me to sit on the couch next to James. I glare in their directions before sitting down.
"I didn't even know you guys were up there." James laughs.
"Ya we were just talking." Hestia replies.
James turns to me "I was just telling the guys about the Celestial ball we're planning, Lils."
"Oh ya. I told the girls this morning." I reply, trying to act normal so I don't cause any 'entertainment'.
"I'm so excited!" Alice says, cheerfully.
"Well, of course you are. You have a boyfriend so you have a built in date. Who am I supposed to go with?" Marlene laughs.
"Hey, I'll go with you, Mar." Sirius responds.
She smiles, "Sweet, thanks."
"We could all just go as a friend group. I don't think dates are required, are they?" Remus laughs, looking at James.
"Actually they are." James smile and turns to me. "And Lily's gonna be mine."
"I never said that." I laugh, blushing a bit.
"I know. But come on, we have to be together the whole time anyways to direct people and make sure everything is going ok. Might as well be my date so you get the added bonus of my charming flirting and great dance moves." He smiles.
I roll my eyes, "You'd flirt with me whether it was a date or not."
"Exactly, so at least help me look a little less sad." He smiles, tilting his head.
"Fine." I say, watches his face light up, with a slightly shocked expression and a smile. "But just as friends."
"Deal!" He smiles.
I laugh and roll my eyes before looking over at Marlene who wiggles her eyebrows at me. James leans back on the couch and puts his arm around my shoulder casually while still continuing his conversation with Remus and Peter about who they can bring.
I jump slightly at the unexpected contact and look down at my hands, fidgeting with the ends of my hair because I don't know how else to react right now.
It feels like it's been 10 minutes since he put his arm over me causing me to freak out slightly, when in reality it's only been about 2.
"I'm gonna go for a shower." I say, quickly standing up and walking through the bathroom door next to our desks across the room.
I just know all of the girls feel very entertained right now, I sigh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
James' POV:
I, of course wish it lasted longer but I didn't even think I'd be able to have my arm around her for more then 5 seconds before she pulled away and glared at me. So that couple of minutes was pretty great.
After talking for about 20 more minutes, I pull out my potions homework and don't even finish reading the instructions before I'm thoroughly confused. Definitely gonna need Lily's help on this one. I turn to look at the bathroom door and can still hear the shower running.
"What's taking her so long?" I ask.
"She's probably not even in the shower anymore." Hestia says.
"But the water is still running." I point out.
"Ya but normally Lily leaves the shower running after getting dressed so that she can more easily wet her hair while putting her hair products in." Marlene says. "She normally takes pretty fast showers and spends majority of the time in there doing her hair."
"Really?" I ask.
"Ya. I bet if you went in there right now, she'd literally just be doing her hair." Marlene replies.
"Ok." I say as I stand up and make my way over with the potions assignment in my hand. I knock once and then open the door just as Lily is stepping out of the shower...
…Completely naked.
She's screams and I quickly close the door and stare in the other direction with my hand over my mouth and my homework on the floor somewhere. Someone gasps from the sitting area.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, POTTER!?" Lily yells from the bathroom.
I can't even answer. I just continue standing there, eyes wide, with the thought of what I just saw.
Sirius looks at me, "Breath, Prongs." He smirks.
I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding at look at him.
"You good?" Peter laughs.
I shake my head and slowly lower my hand a smile forms on my face.
Remus laughs and shakes his head. Lily opens the door and says a spell I didn't hear to knock me off my feet. I look up at her and plead, "I'm so so sorry, Lily. I swear I though you were out."
"The water was still on!" She yells, still pointing her wand at me while I lay on the ground in front of her.
"I know but Marlene said you were probably just doing your hair." I reply quickly.
She turns her head and glares at Marlene, "I'm sorry! You normally take short showers and I know you keep the shower on while putting your hair products in!" She says, putting her hands in the air.
I can't help but to look down her body while she's facing away. She's still in just a towel and I'd do anything to see more of what I just accidently saw.
She looks back at me and catches me looking at her body, "That's it!" She yells. "I'm obliviating you!"
"Lily, no!" Alice yells. "That's a very hard and dangerous spell if you don't do it right."
"Well if I don't then he's gonna be..." She waves her wand in frustration as she talks, "thinking about it."
"I understand that, Lily but Alice is right." Remus says. "Plus, just because he's never seen the real thing before doesn't mean he's never... thought about it."
I glare at him before looking back at Lily who is a bit red in the face. Either because she's so angry or because she's blushing at me thinking about her. Possibly both.
She lowers her wand slowly, "Fine. I won't obliviate you." I sigh in relief. "But if you ever bring this up, I will hex your damn head off!" She threatens.
"Ok!" I reply and stand up. "Sorry, again."
"Its fine, I guess." She huffs. She turn and goes back into the bathroom.
"I would apologize but I don't think I really need to." Marlene laughs.
I shake my head with a smile, "Ya definitely don't need to apologize."
"You gonna come sit down?" Peter smiles with raised eyebrows.
I press my lips together with a grin, "Nah."
"And why not?" Hestia laughs.
"I uh- just gotta go get something from upstairs." I smile, innocently before turning on my heels and running upstairs, hearing everyone laugh behind me.

━。゜✿ jily fic recommendations ✿ ゜。━
Because I will never get tired of them, here are some more fic recs. These fics are set in the wizarding world but aren’t necessarily canon complaints.
For reference, anything in italics is an extract from the summaries on ao3.
Tumblr media
Never Quite Awake by @sunshinemarauder 
“Endings are nothing unfamiliar to Lily Evans; she’s seen the ends of sisterhood, friendship, and innocence, all from miles away. But this is an end unlike any other. An end that was never supposed to happen.”
If to love someone once is to break their heart, to love them twice is to break yours.
Lily falls for James in her seventh year. But the couple are sent onto two diverging paths when a life-shattering altercation halts their burgeoning relationship. Five years later, she's a curse breaker and he is a soldier.
When they meet again, it feels like coming home.
All the angst that comes with a jily second chance romance that takes place during wartime. A fake dating subplot, cursebreaker!Lily, pining!James. What more could you want. France (country) - a relevant tag
Through The Rain by @bookeatingbean
James and Lily's first kiss, and the story behind it. There's some fluff, some character study, and some good old-fashioned angst.
If you're looking for a character study that shows how they grew up through their school years. This fic shows you that Lily was not a perfect person and James was a bully for the sake of it but he grew to understand that the world does not revolve around him and strives to do better. Or Lily is stubborn and James is the definition of a ride-or-die
It's been a long time by writtenbyfreckles (on ao3)
It's been ten years since Lily left Hogwarts. She's returned to England to work as a Healer on the "ward of the wacky", only to find home isn't as safe as she thought it was. An attack leaves her locked in a ward with her patients, a bunch of Death Eaters and an Auror she hasn't seen for a long time.
I need more cannon divergence Auror!James and Healer!Lily
The Guide To Becoming A Better Man For Lily Evans by @padfootswhiskers
prompt: I decided to walk outside shirtless (accidentally) but I forgot it's winter and why're you screaming at me like that? And oh gosh, you're very pretty.
lingering days, short-lived nights by letthebookbegin (on ao3)
The summer before seventh year, James is desperately trying to think of anything but Lily, who's burrowed her way into his mind and looks quite comfortable there.
The summer before seventh year, Lily is craving a distraction. Avoiding her sister, she picks an ice cream shop for shelter.
At the end of a long summer day, their paths cross - and the rest, as they say, is history.
Ties That Bind by @charmsandtealeaves
Lily Evans grew up with old wives tales about soul mates, but she'd never put much stock in the idea. Not until after she learned about the world of magic and the fact that soul bonds were a thing that actually existed. Which makes these strange new feelings and experiences that much more difficult to manage.
So I read this a while ago but stupidly forgot to bookmark it and then I spent nearly an hour trying to find it again. Needless to say, I ADORE this fic and you should all go read it. Like, right now. Then come back here to talk to me about it.
Lily Evans Doesn't Believe In I Love You's also by @/ charmsandtealeaves
“Did you hear Lily Evans doesn’t believe in I love you's?”
It wasn’t exactly a secret. But no one knew why, until she decided to share a bottle of fire whiskey in the astronomy tower with James Potter.
Same Lily, same
Meet Me At The River also by @/ charmsandtealeaves
A chance encounter with a misplaced owl leads to a correspondence between pen pals. Lily confides in her mysterious Flea and finds herself falling along the way.
I can't remember if I've recommended this one already, but even if I have I'll rec it again because I love it so much!!
Your Friend, James by @thelighthousestale
It is the summer before their 7th year, and Lily and James spend the entire holiday writing letters to each other as their relationship slowly changes from friends to something more.
Just the ending of this one is everything. James and Sirius are never beating the codependent allegations
Castling by @missgryffin
When they were still very young, Remus Lupin’s dad married Lily Evans’ mum. It changes everything.
Lily and Remus are like the little brother who got bullied and then found friends except he invited them over for the first time and they all act weird because they're mildly terrified of his older sister. Friends to lovers jily is only rivaled by academic rivals jily.
Just the Two of Us by @arianatwycross
Head Students James and Lily face a perilous twist when a malicious potion surfaces in hate mail directed at Lily. Dumbledore orders a week-long quarantine in the Head Students' suite. With unspoken crushes lingering, the duo navigates close quarters, leading to unexpected revelations, lingering looks and forehead kisses.
silence and patience, pining in anticipation by @kay-elle-cee
Lily’s been hung up on James for years; a tipsy conversation might be the push she needs to do something about it.
DRESS IS A JILY SONG FOREVER AND ALWAYS
The Devil in the Cloak Room by @chiechie97
Getting your heart broken when you’re 17 seems to alter your brain chemistry more than you would think. Which is the precise reason why Lily has no intention of reconnecting with the friends she lost at the end of school.
And besides, she has no chance of knowing anyone at the masked Halloween party her friend drags her to. Especially not the guy in the devil mask. Right?
Usually I rec complete works but this one is so good I had to include it
Deception and other ways to find love by @annasghosts
“I’ll be your fake girlfriend, Potter.” And this is how Lily Evans embarks on the adventure of (fake) dating her former Hogwarts nemesis (and crush, but ssssh, it’s a secret). Will she be able to keep her cool? Will he?
Class of '78 by @emeralddoeadeer
Class of 1978 Five Year Reunion - July 29th, 1983
Now is the time to look upon our shared experience, our similarities must unite us rather than letting our differences divide us. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry invites the Graduating Class of 1978 to return to the castle for a weekend of reconnecting, reminiscing and recreation. We hope the passage of time has been kind to you all and look forward to welcoming you soon.
Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster, Order of Merlin First Class, Grand Sorc, DWiz, X.J sorc, S of Mag Q
It's been five years since graduation, and while many things have changed, some things never will.
James Potter Won't Go Quietly by la_plus_heureuse (on ao3)
Lily Evans remembers plenty about James Potter from Hogwarts. But an assignment from Mojo Magazine to profile the Quidditch star turned activist makes her realize what she remembered was all wrong.
canon divergence staring quidditch player James and journalist Lily
On A Scale of One to Ten (requires an ao3 account) by @petalsinwoodvale
Lily starts falling for an insecure, yet charming auror named James who is recovering from injury in her ward. No one else on staff will sit and talk to him, mostly due to septic skin covering most of his upper torso. Lily, however, finds him charming and funny.

alright, unpopular opinion time, even though no one asked for it. this is defenitely getting me a lot of hate.
jily sucks. i generally do not understand why the hell did lily randomly date james in their 7th year when her and severus split apart. she did it to annoy severus or what, i don't know. she calls james an arrogant toerag, then she randomly goes and date that toerag for what? did she just... like him right after the mudblood incident?
snily made more sense. ok, that's going to get me a lot of hate, but i don't care. to me, snily had more chemistry than jily. severus and lily were childhood friends, and defenitely made more sense and had more chemistry than jily, which is just very random romance.
wolfstar sucks. that's gonna get me even more hate from the wolfstar stans ngl. remus does not find sirius attractive, nor does sirius find remus attractive. sirius was closer to james, and is most likely to develope a crush for james instead. not to mention sirius almost made his best friend, who's in his werewolf form, commit murder.

I’ll never understand why Jamarylily (James+Mary+Lily) isn’t just as popular as Jegulily
(Obvi I do mlm led ships are always more popular than wlw ones but I digress)
But anyways it’s wild that I’ve heard of so many wild ships (rosestarkillerchaser?? Bitchkiller?? Partyvan??) but never seen anyone else bring up JAMARILILY
SO JUST— HEAR ME OUT
You want angst? You want messy? You want drama?? Pining? Jealousy?
Jamarylily has it all no matter how you spin it
Say James and Mary are the most popular in school so it seems inevitable that they’re gonna end up dating and they do and it’s fun bc they’re besties and have good chemistry but the thing is…they’re missing something bc they’re both still in love with Lily!!
Whenever Lily sees them together she can’t decide if she’s more jealous of James or Mary (she’s jealous of both)
When James has given up on dating at hogwarts bc he was so obnoxious 5th year so he’s not trying, but summer going into 7th year he has a massive glowup and then suddenly both Lily and Mary want to go on dates with him. They don’t know about each other and Remus yells at James that he can’t keep doing this and needs to break it off with one of them but James doesn’t want to bc he likes them both.
When Mary and Lily find out about each other they are still mad at James but they’re also in love with each each other so they take him back.
Mary breaks up with Sirius (bc he’s a shitty bf and in love with remus but not willing to admit it) and she wants to get back at him by sleeping with James. James has just broken up with Regulus (bc he’s joining the de) and he wants distraction so he and Mary sleep together and it becomes a usual hookup and eventually they both catch feelings. While at the same time Mary is conflicted bc she has feelings for her best friend and she doesn’t want to be like Sirius was to her with James— but she still does have real feelings for James. Meanwhile James 2nd-5th yr crush on Lily that he thought he was gone is coming back… ft jealous Black Brothers hehe
NO MATTER HOW YOU SPIN IT— they all get together at the same time, marylily is in love first, jily is together first and both in love with mary!!!
ALSO ANGST!!
Halloween 1981 (nevermind that mary would make her bestie Emmeline secretkeeper and it wouldn’t have happened— but I digress)
Mary is a healer at st mungos and she’s working Halloween night— when she gets home dumbledore is there and so is Sirius. Sirius leaves to go after Peter once Mary gets there as he thinks that Harry will be in good hands. But bc of the prophecy and the “blood relative protection spell” Dumbledore needs Harry to go to Petunia and so he obliviates Mary and she moves to America where she never sees Harry again.
Bonus points if Mary just found out she was pregnant but bc she was obliviated she just thinks that her kids father was some one night stand that she had forgotten— meanwhile Harry has a younger half sibling out there that doesn’t even know he exists <3

if jily had lived, do you think they would’ve stayed together? i mean they got married when they were 19 in the middle of a war and basically had a teenage pregnancy. would they have lasted past the honeymoon stage if their circumstances weren’t so tragic and extreme?
Lot to unpack here if I am understanding your questions (and I might not be because I'm exhausted rn, but I digress).
Do I think Jily would have stayed together had they survived the first war with Harry? 100%
I'm not saying it would have been easy, but I think they would have built such a strong relationship that they could face the future solidly together. I don't think they ever had a real honeymoon stage in canon, when you consider they had (at most) 9 months together in 7th year before they joined the Order. How I wrote them in IR is how I'd see them post-war: enjoying life together with Harry, talking about having another baby, looking into careers/hobbies that might have been their lives without the war, etc.
Do I think Jily would've lasted past a honeymoon stage in a non-LV world (that is to say, with less tragic circumstances)? Probably? They'd have as good a chance as any boomer wizard couple in the 70s at least lol.
I won't pretend to be an expert, but from what I've experienced in my life, marrying out of high school or shortly thereafter was not uncommon in the 70s (at least in the USA). Would I (as a woman in my 30s in 2023) hope they wouldn't rush into marriage as teenagers? I mean, yes, lol. But it seems like based on what we see of wizarding society, they probably would have been okay.

James and Lily decided to woo Regulus in their 7th year after they spent months crushing said heir of black. Unknown to them, Regulus awakened his veela ancestry blood on the summer so he unconsciously charm people around him after comimg back to hoegwarts. Now jily struggling because:
1) Regulus rejected all their advances because 'they only flirt me because of my veela blood, it isn't real :( '
2) There's spike of people who seduced Regulus (because his veela charm but jily didnt know) and now jily punching airs whenever theres horde of love letters Regulus got every morning
Bonus point if jily actually has resistance of veela charm. So when regulus finally controlled his veela charm, he confused af because james and lily still flirt with him

No Such Thing
In which James and Lily finally have that conversation they needed to have about the 'one time thing'
1.3K, Rated M, Read it on AO3 To celebrate 300 followers on tumblr I offered up the chance to see extra scenes from works people enjoyed. More of One Time Thing was asked for at the time of publishing and via ask... so I thought I'd be extra nice and give you more than an extra 300 words.
So this fic is for @blondelunaa, @abihastastybeans, @annabtg, @constancezin and @athenasparrow for their encouraging compliments. - Especially Athena who I can always rely on to hype me up.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: The Hogsmeade Attack
James’ POV:
I’m supposed to be studying right now. I mean, that’s what we came to the library to do. But I can’t focus when Lily is sitting across from me with her beautiful red hair flowing perfectly around her face and her knitted grey jumper hanging ever so slightly too low on her shoulder, allowing me to get a glimpse of her thin, black bra strap.
I feel a foot kick my ankle and so I un-focus my staring to turn and look at Sirius who is sitting next to me, shaking his head with a grin. I laugh sheepishly before turning back to look at Lily, “Hey.” I say, nudging her foot with mine under the table.
She looks up at me with her engagingly beautiful eyes that match ever so perfectly with the necklace she hasn’t taken off since Christmas. “What?” She asks, annoyed that I am once again, interrupting her from her potions essay.
I lean back so that the front legs of the chair are in the air and put my hands behind my head casually while smirking at her, “Lily Evans, will you go on a date with me?”
She rolls her eyes and leans forward with a smile, poking my forehead with the end of her wand from across the desk, causing me to topple backwards and fall with the chair. I hear laughing from the table as I quickly stand up, fixing my hair and glare at her, trying to hide my smile. “Well it wasn’t a hex, so can I take that as a yes, love?”
She laughs, shaking her head. “Well I am dating you. Isn’t that sort of a requirement?”
“I suppose so.” I smile as I sit back down at the table. “So then, Hogsmeade tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at 10.”
“Wow, Lily Evans agreeing to a date with James Potter. Is the world ending?” Peter jokes.
“Ya, you’re supposed to hate me, Evans.” I say, looking at her smiling face.
“Oh I do.” She deadpans before shooting me a wink and stands up. “I have to go meet the girls now. I’ll see you tomorrow for our date, Potter. Better be good. After all, you should have been planning it for about 6 years now, right?”
I laugh, “Oh don’t you worry, love. It will be.” She kisses me on the cheek and walks away, my eyes not being able to help but watch, earning me another ankle kick from Sirius.
“Mate, you gotta stop with that.” He laughs.
“Oh, come on! She’s my girlfriend. I’m allowed to do that.” I respond, smiling. My girlfriend. Lily Evans is my girlfriend. Maybe the world is ending.
“Not like it ever stopped you before she was your girlfriend.” Remus says.
“Very true.” I laugh.
The next morning I, for some reason feel nervous. I have never in my life felt nervous for a date before. But I guess I have never in my life been on a date with the girl of my dreams either.
I button my black jeans and pull my maroon jumper over my head, throwing my jacket over top as it is still quite cold out for early February. I quickly check the mirror that sits on my dresser to run my hands through my hair a few more times before shooting myself a finger gun and making my way across the hall. I look down at my watch and knock on Lily’s bedroom door at exactly 10am. She opens the door and smiles up at me. Looking beautiful as always in her tight blue jeans that seem to perfectly fit around the curves of her hips and thighs, a brown baggy t-shirt with what looks like a band name on it and a black cardigan, slung casually over her shoulders.
“Good morning, beautiful.” I smile, leaning on her doorframe after taking her all in.
“Good morning.” She smiles, cheeks slightly pink.
“Are you ready to go?” I ask.
“I am.” She responds with a nod and I take her hand as we make our way out of the castle and into Hogsmeade.
As we walk through the town, making our way to Honeydukes I hear footsteps running up behind me and sigh as I realize who it is.
“Prongs!” Sirius says, running to my side. “You never met us at the common room like we normally do!”
I look at him and blink slowly at how dumb he can be sometimes. “Sirius.” I smile. “My best friend. My brother. One doesn't typically take their friends along on their dates with their girlfriend.”
“Ohhh. I get it, so you’re abandoning me for Evans, here.” He says, accusingly.
I shake my head, “Sirius-“
He laughs, “Fine, fine. He’s all yours, Lily-Flower!” He turns around and skips back over to a laughing Peter and Remus who is shaking his head at him.
I laugh and look down at Lily who seems very amused. I put my arm around her shoulder and continue walking, “I guess I should have expected that.”
We enter Honeydukes and I look around at all the options. Even after coming here multiple times a year since third year, I still never get over this place. It truly is incredible. Lily walks over to the new Valentine’s Day section and looks at the giant heart-shaped chocolate that explodes with confetti when you break it in half. “I’ll buy it for you if you agree to be my Valentine.”
She laughs and turns to look at me, “I would agree to be your Valentine whether you bought it for me or not, James.”
I smile and lean down to kiss her softly, my hands on her hips as she smiles into the kiss. We quickly jolt back and turn towards the front of the store when we suddenly hear a whipping noise and screams from outside. I look down at her and grab her hand to rush outside.
There are about 5 of them. All in long black cloaks like they have been described to wear in the prophet. Death eaters. Here? At Hogsmeade?
I pull out my wands and run over to a small muggle-born boy who is being cursed by one of them. Shooting a spell in retaliation, giving the boy a chance to run.
“Everybody, get back to Hogwarts now! Prefects lead the way!” I hear Lily yell as she also pulls out her wand, a couple stores away from me. As much as I want to run over and help her, I have my own death eater to fight right now. As well as I know damn well she’s capable of fighting them on her own. Once I cause the one I am fighting to retreat, I turn to see McGonagall protecting students as she leads them back up to the school, not too far from her I see Sirius, looking pale in the face as I see who he is facing. Bellatrix Black.
I run over to him, knowing even though Sirius is a most capable wizard, that when faced with his childhood memories, he doesn't always think clearly. I stand next to him as we both cast curses on Bellatrix, who doesn’t seem to want to retreat. Before we can push her to her limit, McGonagall runs over, casting a powerful protection charm around us and forcing us to run up the hill away from Hogsmeade with her. “What about the others?” I yell.
“They’re all out! Hagrid is at the gate to help them back into the castle.” She responds.
I sigh in relief as I look around, trying to find her bright red hair in the crowd. And then I hear it. A scream. The most antagonizing scream I have ever heard come from someone’s mouth. I whip my head around. “That’s Lily!” I yell before running back down the hill, despite McGonagalls pleads to stay put.
I run back into the town, Sirius by my side and I see her. Laying on the dirt path, twitching in pain as she tries so hard to put her arm out to grab her wand that is just out of her reach. “Crutio!” Bellatrix repeats, laughing manically. Causing Sirius to flinch.
——————————————————————————————
Lily’s POV:
“You filthy little mudblood!” She yells, casting it again. The pain is unbearable. I truly feel as though I’m being stabbed over and over again on every place of my body. The worst of my memories playing in my head despite my attempts not to.
“You’re a freak, Lily!” Petunia yells in disgust, watching me open a flower that I just wanted to give to her to tell her how beautiful I thought she was.
“I promise, Lily, no one at Hogwarts will care that your parents are muggles. I actually think its rather cool!” The memory of Severus talking to me on the train to Hogwarts for the first time plays, quickly followed by another, “I don’t need help from filthy little mudbloods like her!” Severus yells from where he’s hanging in the air because of Potters spell. My heart drops as I try to make sure I heard him correctly. Mudblood? Did my best friend of almost 6 years just call me a mudblood?
Letters from the parchment that the ministry sent me to inform me of my parents death seems to appear in my brain as if I’m reading them for the first time again, ‘killing them’.
The pain gets worse. My whole body feels like it has been detached from my brain and I feel weak.
I hear a voice cast a counter spell at Bellatrix, breaking her focus and allowing me to breath again. James.
I use every last bit of energy I have to grab my wand and swing it above my body, “Protego.” I barely get out, even though it felt as though I yelled it.
I still can’t move. I’m in too much pain. But I hear Dumbledore yell a spell I have never heard and suddenly the death eaters are all gone. James runs to my side, dropping to his knees to grab me, “Lily! Merlin, Lily, are you ok?”
I look at him and blink, not being able to say anything, not realizing that there are tears running down my face until he uses his thumb to wipe them away. I don’t really remember much of what happened next. One minute I was laying in the dirt in Hogsmeade, James holding me. The next I was laying in a bed in the hospital wind, my friends all sitting around me.
“She’s awake.” Alice says, as I blink, trying to get my eyes to focus.
“Lily! I’m so glad you’re ok!” Marlene says, hugging me, causing me to wince. “Shite, I’m sorry.” She quickly jumps back.
“It’s ok. I’m ok.” I say, giving her a small smile.
“I’m so sorry, love. I never should have left you. I just got distracted by Sirius and Bellatrix and then suddenly Professor McGonagall was there, leading me away.” James explains, regret on his face.
“It’s not your fault, James.” I say, squeezing his hand.
Remus places a small Honeydukes bag on my lap, “I was gonna eat these, but I think you need them more then I do. Chocolate always helps.” He smiles.
“I agree.” I smile back, reaching in to take out a piece and placing it in my mouth. “Thank you.”
After about an hour, Madame Pomphrey says that there are too many people in here and so the girls decide to leave, saying they will visit me in the morning. I look at James who hasn’t let go of my hand since he got here. I love how worried he is about me. And how safe I feel with him.
“Hey, Lily?” Remus says from the other side of my bed.
I look at him and he is fiddling with his hands, looking almost scared. “Ya?” I ask.
“I know it can kind of suck having to spend the night in here. Gets kind of creepy right after sun down because of how big and empty the room feels. But I find it helps to pull this room divider to the end of the bed, instead of beside it. Makes it feel smaller in here.” He smiles. “I spend a lot of time in here, you know.” I watch him as he takes a deep breath, “I have Lycanrhropy. Meaning… I’m a werewolf.”
I smile at him and reach to grab his hand, “I know.” He looks at me confused, shock evident on his face. I laugh, “I’m not stupid, Remus. Of course I know! You’re my friend, you think I wouldn’t notice when you disappear for a couple days during the full moon every month?”
He smiles with a sigh of relief, “And you’re ok with that?”
“Ok with you having an uncontrollable disease?” I smile. “Remus, you’re still you. You’re my friend.”
“Told you she’d be ok with it, Moony! It’s not your fault you have a furry little problem.” James smiles, making Remus laugh.
“Good.” He smiles at me, “We should probably get going, but let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable in here, ok?”
“Thank you, Remus.” I reply.
“We’ll see you in the morning. Feel better, Lily.” Peter smiles as they walk away.
Now it’s just James and I. He squeezes my hand and I look over at him and smile. “Just let me know when you want me to leave. I don’t wanna intrude.”
“I don’t want you to leave, James.” I say and he smiles.
“You know…” James starts, “Nevermind.”
“What?” I ask, tilting my head in wonder at his hesitation.
“I-“ He pauses and looks me in the eyes with a slight smile, “You know I love you, right?”
My eyes widen slightly as I look up at him, not being able to help the smile forming on my lips, “I think I might love you too.” I admit.
