We don’t appreciate Lily Evans in love with James Potter enough

blvnk-art:

It’s been always the other way around; a James Potter who asks her out, who looks at her all the time, who’s jealous, who’s in love with her.

But what about a Lily Evans crazy in love with him?

  • Trying to find his presence around the common room, genuinely wondering where he could be because the place was too quiet and boring
  • cheering happily as he scores goals
  • gasping when he almost fall off his broom
  • asking for no one in particular on the bleachers “is he ok? Is he ok?” when he actually falls.
  • blushing when he gets way too close to read a parchment from her hand. ‘brilliant answer, Evans’
  • sleeping less, annoyed about her feelings because james is such an idiot sometimes
  • being actually tough on him in the Potion class when they were doing work together, because she blamed him for those sleepless nights. ‘i didn’t do anything wrong!“ ‘well you should have done in a different way! You don’t have to be stubborn and simply ignore my instruction, like you don’t even RESPECT the fact that I could be just as right as you are! You don’t even care that I care about this potion! You just do whatever it pleases you because you are an arrogant, prat, a show off, a fucking-’ ‘Miss Evans, what a sharp tongue’
  • and James reaching out to her after that class, looking quite regretful. ’Look, I respect you. I know how much you love Potions, how much you are brilliant on it and I never, EVER, doubt of you and…’ ‘james’ ’… If I offended you, I didn’t mean to. I was trying to HELP. That potion was great, the best I have ever done in my life because you were there, and you actually made me have the idea to put the essence in the boiled water because i thought it could help-’ she then just let him talk and talk, having an excuse to look at him and his lips and his hair falling in his eyes and the way he messes up the hair on the back of his head with those long fingers, wondering how would it be to be touched—-
  • she’s listening to all his thought, with a soft smile just thinking how cute he was
  • Lily opening a big smile when he walks in the room
  • Lily actually talking about James to her parents and realising how much she admires him because she could not stop talking about the things he could do
  • How annoyed and stressed she gets when they fight
  • How incredibly relaxed she feels in his arms and his kisses
  • How impatient she gets when he takes an eternity to touch her underneath her clothes because he respect her way too much for her own good
  • waking up by his side after dreaming he got killed by a death eater and filling him with tiny desperated kisses around his neck, face, shoulders, while his sleepy voice says “i’m ok, i’m here, it was just a nightmare’. and he smiles when felt her arms holding him tight, protecting him.
  • She’s literally protecting him during Order’s missions.
  • Almost dying for him countless time. 
  • When she’s so worried about the pregnancy but relaxing a bit when reminding herself that James is the father.
  • Watching him playing with Harry and giving him food and just being a father
  • and when he yelled “it’s him! i’ll hold him off!” ready to die for her and their baby and actually dying…

But how about

  • a James Potter who doesn’t even notice Lily like that until their 5th year
  • a James Potter who has had girlfriends and disappointing relationships and heartbreaks before Lily
  • a James Potter who does not ask her out every second of every day (a guy who doesn’t take no for an answer is creepy, not romantic, guys. please don’t romanticize sexual harassment. also, if you think Lily would stand for that, you need to reread the books.)
  • a James Potter who does not truly fall in love at the age of 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or even 17 because how many teenage boys do you know who do that (I’m not saying it never happens but it’s not exactly common either)
  • a James Potter who does not mope or fucking cry whenever Lily dates/expresses interest in other guys even though he really likes her (like really?)
  • a James Potter who does not pine over Lily for seven years until she starts to like him back
  • a James Potter who does not mature for Lily
  • a James Potter who matures because his parents are sick, because there’s a bloody war going on, because he is going to be fighting in that war, because maturing is just what people do when they grow up
  • a James Potter whose life does not revolve around Lily
  • a James Potter whose character is not entirely contingent on his feelings for Lily
  • A WELL-ROUNDED, WELL-ADJUSTED, NORMAL TEENAGE BOY JAMES POTTER PLEASE AND THANK YOU

prongsmydeer:

I am completely willing to accept the premise of James and Lily having had a Heads’ Common Room because to me, that implies that they were using it, were caught doing something unseemly by a professor and then Hogwarts decided, “wait no this was a terrible idea let’s never do it again”

AN: Alright, I started this yesterday on a whim, and 6.5k words and just over 24 hours later, here we are. I don’t know if you were all excited because I tagged it as an airport au, or a ‘we have to share the last hotel room au’ or if you just prefer one shots to mulit-chaps, but I hope you enjoy. 

wc: 6.5k

“No, no, no, no, no, nooooo!” Lily’s heels clicked against
the tiles of the terminal as she saw the flashing digital sign that told her
that her plane had already pulled away from the boarding zone. There was a
sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and she felt as though she’d just
lost at something. She’d never missed a flight before, she’d always been one of
those people who arrived early. Like, enough time to have breakfast, get a
coffee and read a couple chapters of whatever novel she had with her, that kind
of early.

But do to circumstances that were outside of her control,
she’d been late. Very late per her standards, and apparently she’d
missed her flight.

She hitched her carry on up her shoulder and squeezed her
phone in her other hand. What was she even supposed to do now? Did she have to
buy a new ticket? Did she have to wait for a seat to open up on another flight?
How was she meant to know what she was supposed to do when she’d never missed a
flight before? And apart from that, it wasn’t as though she spent a lot of time
flying anywhere. This was probably her sixth time on a plane- or it would have
been, had she made the flight.

She saw someone who looked about as flustered as she felt,
talking to someone who worked at the airport at a desk right next to where she
was supposed to board the plane. She assumed that this man had also missed the
flight and headed in that direction. And even if she was wrong, talking to
someone from the airport had to be a good first step on the road to fixing
things, right?

“So you don’t have another flight going out today?” The man
was asking, sounding as though he was trying rather hard not to get upset. And
even now, Lily could appreciate that. Because even though they’d missed their
flight, it definitely wasn’t this random employee’s fault.

CUTE!

I have a feeling that if James lived he wouldn’t really know how to communicate with Ron and Hermione. I just think that James’s extreme confidence, mega superb talent and overwhelming personality would clash with Ron’s insecurity and Hermione’s nagging and sometimes snobby attitude so he wouldn’t really have some closeness with his son’s best friends, like Arthur has with Harry.

I feel this would be wrong. And this is aalso kind of random.

I think that they would get along just fine. He might not connect too much with Hermione (I feel like she would be all about Lily anyways), but Ron would love tf out of James because of one similar interest: Quidditch.

I can see James taking the boys to Quidditch matches, working with them on their forms, and just genuinely being there for the both of them. Ron would get a kick out of James’s sense of humor (and vice versa), and I feel like James would actually help Ron with his confidence as well as Harry.

With Hermione, he may be not so much about her, but would still treat her nicely and fairly bmdue to the fact that she would be one of Harry’s best friends. I also think he would be mildly fascinated by her intelligence.

James would be alright with them. He may not be like Arthur Weasley, but that’s totally fine.

James and Ron would be Bros.

James was part of the order along with Ron’s uncles so James would have a fondness for Ron just on the fact that his family tried to help bring Voldemort down.

Then he would meet Ron after he and Harry became friends and would love the shit out of that boy. They’re kindred spirits. 

Harry noticed his father
had a habit of rumpling up his hair as though to make sure it did not
get too tidy, and also that he kept looking over at the girls by the water’s
edge. 

he concluded modestly, sweeping his hair back quite
unnecessarily so that it looked interestingly windswept and glancing
around to see whether the people nearest to them — a bunch of gossiping
third-year Hufflepuffs — had heard him. “And then, when
Chambers came at me about five minutes later — what?” Ron said,
stopping mid-sentence at the look on Harry’s face. “Why are you
grinning?”
“I’m not,” said Harry quickly, looking down at his Transfiguration
notes and attempting to straighten his face. The truth was that Ron
had just reminded Harry forcibly of another Gryffindor Quidditch
player who had once sat rumpling his hair under this very tree.

And then there the fact that Ron did for Harry what James did for Sirius.

From what we know about James he’s very much like Ron.

James would adore the shit out of Ron. Taking them in to muggle London and telling everyone Harry and Ron are twins saying “This one takes after his mother,” pointing at Lily’s red hair.

And James would get a kick out of Hermione. 

I could see him shaking his head and looking at Lily like “Can you believe this one,” utterly impressed at how she holds her own, knowing full well how much of a handful Harry and Ron can be when rilled up.  

And when he realizes Ron and Hermione like each other, it’s open season on their asses. 

Hermione would be setting the table at the Potter’s and Ron and Harry are playing quidditch outside and James would go “Hermione can you go tell your boyfriend and Harry dinners ready.” which Hermione would insist Ron is not her boyfriend. 

When they come back into the House James would turn to Ron “Hermione tells me you’re not together?”

Ron would turn red as a tomato and splutter, “I never said we were,”

James would shrug, “I just figured with the way you look at each other… My mistake.”

Harry and Lily are losing their shit behind them because everyone in the Potter household ships Romione.

People tend to forget how young James and Lily were. That would play a factor in how well James got along with Harry’s friends.

And then there’s the fact that both James and Ron were born in March. 

Reblogging for James being a massive Romione shipper. 

Hey Jamie. How’s Minnie now that quidditch season has started?

Jamie: Not to mention she said something about how great it was that Siri and I would be distracted for a bit (as if) honestly I was only half paying attention. 

Jamie: But as far as house points go…

Jamie: Fear not! Put away your pitchforks for now!

Jamie: B-But trust me there’s a way. Gotta… at least beat Slytherin.. right?

virginieawoolf:

imagine Lily and James knowing about the prophecy before Harry was born and trying so hard to insure Harry wasn’t born in the seventh month, doing everything they could to delay the birth; just to the start of August. And Lily going into labor on the 30th July which should. not. have. happened. Not with the specially made potion Lily took, regardless of the risks, to make Harry come a week late. And James begging and pleading for Lily to hold on in the late hours of the 31st of July and Lily just not able to anymore. Exactly a minute before the clock ticked over to the eighth month Harry James Potter was born and Lily and James cried. 

Okay, who gave Satan access to the internet?
