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?
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.
James Potter was black and white. From his tousled black hair, to his crooked white smile. For him there was good and bad, bravery and cowardice, right and wrong. He liked logic. He liked rules, even if he did enjoy breaking them. He liked clear cut boundaries and simple answers.
Lily Evans was colorful. From her vivid red hair to her bright green eyes, there was nothing black and white about her. She was a mixture of two worlds, muggle and wizard, and some days it was hard for her to decide which one she fit in better. For her nothing was black and white. Everything was somewhere in between. There were good friends who made poor decisions, and mean boys with good morals, and lovely quiet friends with hidden inner monsters and pretty sisters with ugly prejudices.Her temper colored her face and her tongue colored her mouth.
James gave Lily lines to color within. He helped her to distinguish the difference between toxic friends whose beliefs diminished the validity of her very life, and arrogant school boys whose hearts were in the right place but whose heads were six feet up their ass. He helped her to see that even though the world isn’t black and white, sometimes you still have to pick a side. And most importantly, he showed her that true, blinding goodness and bravery still existed.
Lily added dimensions and hues to James’s world which he didn’t even know existed. She showed him that not all good people are faultless, and not all bad people are fundamentally evil. She taught him that
no question worth asking ever has a simple answer. Perhaps most of all, Lily Evans taught James Potter that
some things, like real deep-rooted evil, and boundless love, and lifelong friendship, defy logic and reasoning, and are all the more powerful for it.
THIS IS SO GOOD AND I AM BOTH THRILLED AND WILDLY JEALOUS
Even though they got married in a rush, James and Lily Potter made sure that every moment they shared was magical.
After a three day long celebration, the couple found that old fountain, not long from where Fleamont and Euphemia Potter lived.
The same old fountain that James had taken her a year earlier and asked her to be his wife.
A year later, and with a war threatening them at every turn, James and Lily made sure to remember the good parts. That life isn’t just war and death, and although tings seemed bleak, it wouldn’t last forever. They had each other, and a life time ahead of them. A life time with love, friendship and companionship.
And to remember this, they wanted to capture a moment where everything was perfect, safe and normal, and for a few moments, everything was just that… blissful.
