@dreammakcr | Lily & Rose | liked for a starter

Lily always had an amazing bond with her cousin Rose, she may be a year younger than her doesn't mean the cousins aren't causing trouble together. Weasley and Potter, McGonagall had flashbacks to Harry and Ron when seeing in how much trouble the girls were getting themselves into. Lily was walking into detention when she said to the captain of the Quidditch team she couldn't come because of detention they got mad and more frustrated of not knowing what to do. Lily walked into the classroom and spotted Rose there, bursting into laughter. "What did you do?" The redhead said, approaching her cousin and sat down next to her. Putting her bag down on the floor next to her seat and dropped her books on the table. "Did McGonagall also say if you keep this up they will let your parents know? She did with me."

Not sure how her parents would even react to it all, maybe deep down her father would be kind of proud with how she was keep the legacy up with causing trouble, since her father was the same as his father. It was a wonder it was not her brothers causing shit but her. She'd rather be at practice as she was a pretty damn good at quidditch just like her parents were or are.

not to her surprise it was just them in detention as Lily suddenly came up with something. "Are you in the mood to pull a prank?" She then asked Rose with a small smirk onto her face.

Okay so i just got an idea and had to send it to my favorite harry potter writer immediately. So I was listening to the song 'sweet goodbyes' by Krezip and I just thought what if the story described in the song was actually Fem!reader x Remus Lupin after the deaths of Lily and James and after Sirius was imprisoned. I just thought it could be very emotional and sad and the song was fitting.

Hope

Warnings: this is basically all angst with some hope in there. This should really be called angst…

NOTE: wow okay this actually is so late and I’m so sorry. This took a lot out of me because I really tried to harness the despair of losing so much. I hope you enjoy!!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It didn’t matter how many nights were left un-slept or how many days were spent barely hanging on. It didn’t matter how hard it was to breath or how many tear soaked shirts were hung up to dry. It didn’t matter how many nightmares bled into the daylight.

It didn’t matter.

They were gone.

They were all gone.

Y/n felt as if the world continued to spin around her while she stood still.

A shell of herself.

Waiting for her heart to mend.

Ever since she saw the grey headstone with their names engraved, y/n had all but become comatose.

Her friendships crumbled and her happiness felt as if it was put on a high shelf. Her home felt cold and empty without the warmth of her chosen family; without the kindness of her other half.

It had been days since she had seen Remus Lupin. The deaths of Lily and James Potter were devastating enough, but the conviction and imprisonment of Sirius simply tipped them over the edge of despair.

They had been in each other’s arms the morning they found out, not a care in the world when they held each other. But then that letter came, and as they read it, y/n’s tea fell onto the couch cushion, leaving a stain that she touched now. Forever marking that morning.

She had no tears to cry any more. No more sobs to bruise her ribs. She was drained. Memories of her friends plagued her day and night, but she knew it was time to find the strength she knew she had; she knew it was there because they had given it to her over years of love and selflessness.

Y/n let out a sigh, and stood from her couch. It was time to be strong, if not for her, then for them. For him. She needed to be there for him to get them through the night when he returned.

Remus had left to wreck havoc on the Ministry for wrongly convincing his best friend, but he was only shut out. He had stayed in the city, wandering the streets but not truly seeing where he went. Busy streets turned into quiet lanes as he wandered aimlessly.

It felt as if a part of his soul had been ripped from his chest that day, and hidden away. He felt empty in his agony. He didn’t know what to hold onto in his life, only feeling the hot tears that welled in his eyes as he stared up at the night sky.

The more he thought on what he had left, the more he continued to come back to one thing. The most important thing.

His darling y/n.

Before he knew it, his feet had taken him back to the familiar house that pulled him in.

He stared at the door, almost afraid to knock in fear that she wouldn’t answer. Afraid she too would cast him out. But he as raised his knuckles to the wooden door, it swung open.

There stood the most important thing left for him. The one thing he could never let go of. The one thing he could never lose.

His hope.

His light in the dark.

Those bright eyes he loved so deeply stared up at him, and in that moment, he let go. Remus walked to her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight. They were each other’s lifeline in such a difficult time, tethered to one an other by nothing but a string. It was delicate and fragile. But it was theirs.

Y/n held him close, letting her tears fall and stain his shirt. She ran her hand through his hair that had begun to grey even now in his youth; her heart ached knowing how much the man she loved had been through in his life, and continued to do through. Every person he loved left, cast him out or was taken from him. Y/n knew that her pain was not comparable to his. She was hurt, but he was shattered.

Feeling him let go in her arms was like no pain she had ever known. Her heart felt crushed under the weight of his sorrow, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She would be lost without him, and he her.

Y/n released him after a moment and grasped his hand gently, reaching up to wipe a few tears from his scarred face.

“Come home, Remus.” She whispered.

He nodded, eyes red and glistening. Y/n pulled him inside the house and took his jacket off. Remus looked around, as if it was the first time he saw the inside of their home. Then, he looked down at the young woman who held his hand so softly, it was like the touch of an angel.

His safe haven.

“Y/n…I-I can’t…” his voice broken under his despair. He couldn’t keep himself together, not anymore. He had been so lost without her, not knowing up from down.

“I know…Remus I have you. We’re together. And as long as we stay that way, we can get through this.” She reached up and held his cheek. “I’m here.”

As their world crumbled away around them, they walked slowly to their bed and lay down, cradling one another in sorrow. They needed one another. Without the other, they would be lost. They let the ruin of their life surround them, engulf them. They could take it. They were two half’s of a broken soul that fused themselves together to make something whole.

Together they could slowly repair the detestation that surrounded them.

They could barely sleep, minds whirling with thoughts of their changing world. Years of friendship and happiness were all taken away in a single night, leaving nothing but the year old son of Lily and James behind. It made her chest ache at the thought of the boy being given away to Lily’s sister, but she supposed it was safer that way. Y/n would have taken him in a heartbeat, but with her and Remus both grieving and as members of the Order, it would have caused more damage that not. Single tears fell down her cheeks and onto the pillow beneath her as she let her mind wander. She wished there was something more she could do; anything. But as they laid there in each other’s arms, all they needed was to get through the night.

The early morning sun peaked through the drawn curtains, sending small rays of light across their sleeping faces. Y/n stirred first, her tired eyes cracking open to gaze at the man sleeping next to her. Seeing him rest was enough to make the witch’s heart swell with hope.

She hoped that if they could make it through one night, they could make it through the rest.

She hoped that if they could mend their broken hearts, they could slowly go back to places they used to go.

She hoped that if they could take each day one at a time, that maybe, just maybe, they could relearn to live.

They had to be brave.

They had to make a new world to thrive in.

His eyes opened slowly, those hazel eyes she fell in love with so long ago stared back at her. For a moment, they were quiet, almost afraid to speak. But y/n knew they had to eventually.

“Hello, darling.” She whispered, brushing her knuckles against his cheek.

Remus did not smile, neither did she. But his eyes held something that she hadn’t seen for days.

Hope.

Y/n pressed a soft kiss to his forehead; marking the beginning of their journey to heal.

She was determined to keep his kind heart safe. He needed to be mended with care, and she knew she needed to be the one to do it for him.

A little bit at a time.

-

It had been an achingly laboured path she had forged for them. But over time, they returned to the places they used to love, hand in hand; as they sipped at their tea in old cafes they frequented, or when they walked through the fields in the country, they remembered. They looked back on their memories with their beloved schoolmates -their family. They remembered the sound of Sirius’s laugh and how Lily used to smack James’ head when he told a bad joke. They remembered how it felt to be surrounded by love. They let themselves hurt, but in that pain they found something even more precious. They found their love for one another again. They took their broken souls and hearts down from the high shelves they had sat upon for so long, and let them heal.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Finally, those months turned into a year.

That October night, they stood hand in hand stronger than ever. Y/n laid down a bright bouquet of flowers and ran her hand along the cold headstone.

“Miss you Lils…James I hope you’re behaving up there.” She whispered, voice thick with sorrow. When she stood, Remus held her close, and rubbed her arm as they stared down at their old friends.

After a moment of standing in the cold, y/n looked up at the man she loved dearly and let a small smile grace her face- the first one in a long time. Remus returned it gently.

She looked around to ensure their seclusion, and drew out her wand ; Remus followed suit.

Then in the darkness that surrounded them, they both let the memories of their family fill them up, tears streaming down their faces, and whispered, “Expecto Patronum.”

Two silver wolves danced from the ends of their wands, chancing and playing with one another around the snowy earth until they disappeared into the night.

The two of them held onto that feeling of warmth that finally bloomed inside them. Finally, they felt as if the world stopped spinning around them, and instead spun with them.

They could let go.

For them.

They lived.

TAG DROP PART 1

[faeryworlds]

open starter | Lily Luna Potter | mutuals only

It was the fifth time that she had gotten detention and also the fifth time she had to miss quidditch practice. The lecture McGonagall had giving her and telling her she would contact her parents if she kept this up. she is one of the best quidditch players from Gryffindor and her missing practices wasn't really ideal for the team. Lily can't help to create chaos and at times not even alone. She mostly did it with her cousin Rose. They truly took over from their father's and their uncles with being trouble makers.

She knows they had an important quidditch match coming up and she couldn't really miss any practices. Yet here she was in detention, maybe she can sneak out from here as there was no teacher present and Lily saw this as an opportunity to sneak out of detention and head to the Quidditch field. Making sure the coast was clear, before she gathered her stuff and put it in her bag.

@bchemianrhapscdy​

Lily was just wandering around in the halls of Hogwarts as she was just really bored. And not really knowing on what to do. People always just underestimating the redhead. Yes she did once punched someone in the face because they were making fun of Teddy and Lily wasn’t having it. And then they realised they shouldn’t mess with Lily or the people she cares about. She knows a few people from Slytherin too. That’s probably because Albus is a Slytherin. She and James are in Gryffindor.

It was strange not having everyone of the Potter’s in Gryffindor but it is what it is right not that Lily mind since she loved having her own life. Although James could be a pretty overprotective brother over her. The redhead was just looking around. As she then got into an argument with a few Slytherin students who were like two years older than she is.

[faeryworlds]

@athousandmuses​ Lily & Selene

Lily wasn’t like her brothers, okay maybe she was just like James. But whenever there was someone picking on her friends she didn’t mind punching them in the face or tell them to move along and pick someone from their own height and age. Yes she was pretty fierce for her age and if her parents would find out she would be in trouble for sure. Everyone thought probably she’s a goodie goodie but damn are they wrong at times. She is good in classes and all that. Lily is just protective over her friends. 

There was a Slytherin picking on one of her friends and Slytherins in there probably fifth year while Lily was in her third. “Knock it off. Go annoy someone else.” She once punched a slytherin who made fun of Teddy Lupin but now it was just another family member of hers as the redhead stood on a bench and just punched the guy in the face. ‘That’s my sister.’ She heard James saying as a smile appeared onto her face, when high fiving her brother. 

[faeryworlds]

“I’m here- I’m here, now.” {Selene to Lily Luna: AThousandMuses.}

my muse had been kidnapped and tortured for the past week send “i’m here- i’m here, now” for your muse to save them.

@athousandmuses

Lily looked up when she was finally saved. It was horrible and the redhead just was shaken up and not really sure what to do or what to say at this point. Why would even someone kidnap her. All the things that had happened before she was born ended. Or someone else that bad is around she was save now. And she was looking at the woman who did saved her. She didn’t know her but she was thankful. “T-Thank you.”

@athousandmuses​ continues from here

“Yeah I can walk.“ Was she really able to walk that was the other question of course. But Lily at least wanted to try. Her leg did hurt and one of her arms too. She didn’t really remember what had happened like she had some sort of memory loss. She was tired and all she wanted was to sleep and knowing they first need to get out of here. “H-How did you know where to find me?“ She then asked as she was really almost was passing out. 

[faeryworlds]

Open Starter (Lily Luna Potter)

“All I did was punching him in his face.” Lily admitted which was true. she did punched someone in the face and she didn’t regretted it one bit. Of course one of her brothers was sort of proud that his little sister just punched someone much older than her and the other brother didn’t know exactly what to say about it. Folding her arms over each other as Lily tilted her head to aside. Of course she would be in trouble once McGonagall finds out what had happened. Let’s hope her parents won’t ever find out about what had happened. 

[faeryworlds]

"Your dad will absolutely laugh about it. Your mum the other hand won't be." Lily said as she grinned, knew she would get Rose her attention when she would say the word prank. The Weasley tradition isn't going to die anytime soon. "I didn't had anything specific in mind just yet." The redhead said, knowing that together they will be able to come up with something nice. "My team wasn't happy I had to miss Quidditch practice today. Especially not when there's an important match ahead." Lily hated it that she was missing practice and the way she and Rose are the only ones in detention. "Why am I not surprised that if you get detention for something it's studying related. You truly are like both of your parents." Lily teased her as she was saying that with a small grin onto her face.

It was still strange there was no teacher present, if they wanted they could just leave the classroom. The girl then put her bag on the table as she was looking through it. Putting some things on the table that they could possibly make something to do a prank. "Okay so, we can either make something from this material I got when I went to Hogsmeade."

Getting up to walk to the door and opened it to look around if no teacher was coming, when the coast was clear, she closed the door again and walked back to where Rose was. "The way I have the feeling they will call our parents after this. It will be worth it." Who would have thought that they would be trouble makers from the family. Everyone probably thought it would have been James, not Lily or Rose. "Stink bombs aren't really doing it anymore. We need to do something a bit more extreme than that."

Though being a Weasley meant that she had more cousins than she could count, Rose always felt closest to Lily. There may have been a small age difference but considering how close their parents were and how they were the only girls between the two families, it made sense that they would form a tight bond. It was something that extended into their school life. Rose tried to spend as much time with her cousin as she could, pleased that they had been sorted into the same house.

A sigh passed the redhead's lips as she rested her head against the desk. There were so many other things she could have been doing at the moment. Much more important things than sitting in detention. But she supposed that was the point of it all. It wasn't until she heard Lily's voice that she finally looked up, a playful grin tugging at her lips. "I snuck into the restricted section for an essay i'm writing," she explained, knowing that it wasn't the most exciting thing to get detention over. "She said the same thing. Dad will probably laugh but Mum will kill me. She tends to forget all the school rules she broke while she was here." Rose rolled her eyes.

Eyes narrowed slightly at the suggestion, but the word prank already captured her attention. "What did you have in mind, dear cousin?"
