"I am holding my loneliness and she is a teenage girl with puffy eyes, and I love her more than I have ever loved anyone."
Is just so Lily Evans. She loves her younger self and wishes she could tell her she is worthy, she is smart that she is loved. That she will find some of the most important people in her life and even when she loses her sister she will find another. She will find love and happiness and she is so proud of how far she's come. She's no longer lonely....she's no longer questioning her worth.
Young lily Evans worked herself to the bone trying to prove her worth, she studied harder than most staying in the dorms when the others went out to hogsmeade. She wouldn't move on from a spell till she perfected it. She had no friends for so long...she felt so alone and her sister was pulling away from her. She felt that she would never have friends and gave up on the idea of living a life without loneliness.
She was pleasantly surprised to find she did have friends though...all this time she had thought she was alone and yet she walked to class with Mary and Marlene. She did potions with Severus, later dorcas. She studied with Remus and regulus. She went to hogsmeade with the boys in Gryffindor and the girls.
She did her nails with Mary on Sundays. She went to the quidditch pitch with Remus so they could support James, Sirius and Marlene. They were always there .... And she had failed to notice. She wishes she could tell her younger self that she was never alone...not since stepping off that train and meeting them all.

Currently reading this book. 30% (ish) of the way through. It’s based on the legend of Brynhildr and Sigurd (a Germanic saga). The prose is poetic and feels as though you (the reader) are eavesdropping on a conversation. Both of the protagonists throughout their narration are addressing it to each other. I’m very invested in learning how it is going to develop throughout and how those developments will change and add to the story it is based off. I am enjoying the way Kate Heartfield has approached these characters and the way in which she has provided historical context alongside the fantasy elements
