Happy Birthday! ( it is Half Yelled ) @cewyllenw
head jerks up at the sound of her name being shouted half way across the great hall . and there , stood in front of the empty professor’s table with his arms open wide , is sirius . a wide grin in his face and a spark in his eye that sends a shiver of fear up lily’s spine . there’s a scattering of laughter from the students gathered around the gryffindor table , and a few stray laughs from the tables beyond . they’re all , no doubt , waiting with baited breath for whatever sirius has in store . she can feel eyes on her as she sinks lower in her seat . this is exactly what lily didn’t —— a big fuss .
a short laugh rings out beside her , earning her boyfriend nothing short of a death glare . he raises his hands in mock surrender , but there’s a look in his eye that lets lily know that whatever sirius is about to do james absolutely had a hand in it . even though she had made him promise ( pinky promise , at that ) , that he wouldn’t do anything . she hadn’t done the same for sirius , and she certainly won’t be repeating the same mistake next year . lips part to release a snarky remark but they’re silenced by a loud bang that rings out across the hall . around her students gasp in wonder , and there’s a sinking feeling in her stomach as she turns her attention back to the front of the hall .
there , above sirius , is a chorus of cats made out of shimmering red sparks . led in a rendition of happy birthday by the boy acting as a conductor . a hand is clamped over her mouth , but whether it’s to repress a growl or a laugh she’s not sure . the singing is , of course , dreadful . none of the cats are in tune or , even , in time with each other . another bang rings out as they stop . this time the firework explodes to reveal shining words high in the sky , painted in red and gold . happy birthday lily evans ! this time she can’t hide the smile that breaks across her lips . she should be angry . furious , even . she’s head girl , a role model for the rest of the school . she shouldn’t be seen to be enjoying , or encouraging , breaking the school rules in such a way . but , merlin , the display is beautiful .
later , after mcgonagall has yelled herself hoarse , he’s rewarded with a genuine thank you and a soft kiss on the cheek .
