Do you guys ever wonder what James and Lily would be doing right now if they lived? I feel like they would be that old couple that you see all the time in Godric’s Hollow, walking around holding hands, watching the little kids play in the park. They would be that older couple that has love and passion, and you would want your love for someone to last this long, just like them. Or how about when they’re at home, and just being with each other. I bet James would still call Lily, “Evans”, when they’re playing around. They would be those grandparents that make surprise visits at Harry and Ginny’s house, just to see the kids, and to annoy Harry. While Lily is helping Ginny with dinner, Harry and James would be in the living room listening to the Quidditch game, fighting about who was going to win. Do you ever just think about this, and then go curl up in a ball and cry? Or is it just me?
The morning of... (L/J)
It wasn’t the customary ray of golden light spilling on her face that awoke her, for the sun never rose that day. It chose to remain hidden behind its thick shroud of clouds. It was, instead, a pair of familiar, warm lips brushing her shoulder that roused her from sleep.
“You’re staring, Potter,” she mumbled, bleary and eyes still closed. At the sound of his soft chuckle, however, she opened one eye, peering up at him through her eyelashes. She arched an eyebrow when she fully took in his expression, opening the other eye and sitting up soon after. “It’s rude, you know,” she began conversationally. “Looking at me like that and not doing anything about it.”
James grinned, catching on at once and leaning in to kiss her. “Well, I’ll have to do something about that, won’t I?” He shifted to better kiss her jaw and neck, the mattress creaking slightly with the movement. “Wouldn’t want my wife to think I’ve got horrible manners.”
Lily’s hands were already tangled amidst the hair at the back of his neck while his slid down the curve of her waist, pulling her close. Their lips had just found each other once more, when a stirring cry from the next room caused her to break apart.
“Harry’s awake,” she said.
has anyone ever noticed how in Order of the Phoenix when Remus is talking to Harry about Voldemort he says “the last time Voldemort gained power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear” and Sirius just kinda looks down sadly
because he’s thinking about James and Lily and how Voldemort did destroy everything he holds dear
