on christmas morning, james finds her reading interview with the vampire (mary's present) in the common room, by the fire. they lock eyes before lily can pretend not to have seen him, and he smiles — sheepishly rubbing the skin behind his ear — so she smiles back.
"merry christmas," he says.
"merry christmas," she greets back. "you're up early."
"oh — yeah." he holds up a couple of envelopes. "sending out christmas cards."
"to who?" she asks before she can help herself. all his best friends are in the castle.
"mum, dad, mr. wrenswaith the manor caretaker. moony's mum, wormy's mum... padfoot's mum."
"lots of mums."
he grins. "they love me, what can i say."
"wait — even sirius's mum? really?"
"well, that one's a howler. don't ask what it says."
she exhales a laugh. "i can imagine."
"whatever you're imagining, it's worse. and however bad it is, she deserves it."
"she deserves more," someone adds, coming down from the stairs leading up to the boys' dorms, and sirius appears. "happy christmas, evans."
"hello, merry christmas," returns lily.
zipping his jacket up and fixing his scarf, he asks james, "ready?"
"yeah..."
james pauses before the common room door, looks back. "are you spending the entire day alone?" he asks lily.
"no. i'm spending it with louis de pointe du lac."
james frowns.
lily holds the book up, to explain. but he looks just as unimpressed.
"and that's — okay?" he asks. "you'll be fine?"
she takes a bit to respond, bemused and taken aback by the concern. "yeah...?"
"okay." he seems to want to say more, but hesitates. "uh — "
sirius, noticing, nods at the book. "it's an okay book, that," he says, "at best. so if you get bored, moony and worm will meet us later in hogsmeade after the owlery. you should come."
lily catches james nudge sirius's arm very, very quickly, almost imperceptibly, but it doesn't seem like the what the fuck did you just do sort, at any rate. it seemed more like — an acknowledgment. an agreement? a thank-you? lily asks, "you've read it?"
"we have," says james. "moony, too. last summer."
"we didn't like it," says sirius.
james throws him a look. this one — definitely the what the fuck sort. sirius just shrugs.
lily, amused, says, "okay. thank you. for the invite, and the book review. that's... i'll keep that in mind. thanks."
they nod, grinning, say goodbye again, and james remembers to call out, "three broomsticks!" before disappearing behind the swinging portrait door.
she's distracted the entire morning. has to reread most of the pages. by the time remus and peter come down, she's made up her mind and asks if she can go out with them. they seem to already know — probably through that mirror thing they carry around — and are more than happy to have her tag along.
she thinks it would be awkward — they don't exactly hang out, not without their other housemates — but besides the first few minutes where they do a little pause before the table to figure out seating arrangements, pointing fingers and exchanging glances (she ends up beside james and across from remus and peter, sirius at the head), it's — okay. comfortable. they have butterbeers, and sirius orders steaks as well (not on the menu, but madame rosmerta seems more than happy to indulge him), and the conversations flow easily from schoolwork to gryffindors to professors to christmas presents to how they're all faring in the term so far.
they — the boys — laugh a lot. which isn't news, their collective laughter is gryffindor's familiar backing track (hogwarts's backing track, really, for better or for worse), but she supposes there's a different level of palpability this close, a deeper infectiousness, that she finds herself laughing just as much. they're gracious enough to keep the jokes inclusive, too — remus or james would pause to explain when an inside joke finds its way in the riffraff of discussions — so she never feels left out.
she wonders when this all came to be, when they shifted from insufferable to bearable, and from that, to — well. friends. almost.
on the way back to hogwarts for dinner, james and sirius join a small chorale singing christmas carols on the side of the road — all theatric, hands together on their chests, but they do actually try to sing in tune, peeking at the hymnals for the correct lyrics; peter and remus pretending to be passers-by, clapping and showering them with invisible bills and coins — and lily laughs, fully settling into their company, giddy from the butterbeers and cozy in the light snowfall. wreaths and tinsel on the doors all around them —
her own little picture-book christmas day.
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁
an: this is a snippet of "the bad day wall (and the feelings space)", a fic i'm doing for @constancezin who sent the prompt "prefects' bathroom" (i know this christmas snippet — in march — doesn't seem like it relates at all, but i swear it's going to be the same fic lol). hopefully i finish it in the next week or two! it will be up on ao3 then, but for now, here's the rest of my other jilys if you're so inclined 💜 thank you!
edit: part one is now up :)

REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: Emily, I just want to say you are exceptionally excellent.
EMILY DUNN: Ohhh. (giggles)
REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: And if I didn't consider myself married to God, it could only have been you.
EMILY DUNN: That is really very sweet of you. Who is that?
REV. JAMES TRENCHARD: A nephew of the Misses White. He's just returned from a spell in the Army. Nice that he was able to join us.
EMILY DUNN: Yes. I should say it is.
MRS DUNN: It... It's snowing.
