The Great Quidditch Bake Off

Summary

James just wanted to raise money for a Quidditch charity, Lily wanted to do that plus promote muggle rights and muggle technology, Sirius wanted to impress Remus, Remus just wanted to win the bloody competition. But with James and Lily's massive row just before the start of the show, Gilderoy Lockhart and Dolores Umbridge revealed as the two judges, McGonagall on the war-path and the muggle crew in meltdown, our friends appear to have bitten off more than they can chew. Who will win the Great Quidditch Bake Off?

Special thanks to @joyseuphoria for the wonderful angst to fluff prompt "you're allowed to fall apart a little", you are the best! This is for you as a thank you and for @therealrjlupin who is a GBBO fan and my bestie 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

(PS I’m sure there’s been other GBBO- inspired AUs so apologies if so and hopefully this is different enough!)

Chapter 1 - Over-Cooked

“Welcome to this year’s edition of the Great Quidditch Bake Off! This year, the charity that has been chosen to benefit from this competition is St Nicholas’ Centre for Quidditch-Related Injuries, in the paediatric hospital situated next door to St Mungo’s. And, for the first time, I will be joining you not as a judge, but as a presenter”.

Boos all around.

“Quiet!” McGonagall’s lips quirked upwards despite herself, and the room descended into hushed silence once more.

“Aside from the judges, nothing has changed, wands will be left at the door, the tent is suitably enchanted to prevent any of you from using wandless and non-verbal spells. Once the judges say a few words, and the cameras start lolling, excuse me, rolling, you will each take up position behind your counter. As ever, there will be three challenges - a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. However, only the top four bakers will make it into the third and final challenge where you will get to show off your breath-taking creations. I’m sure you will all do rather well.”

She looked down at the eight contestants and smiled.

“The two judges this year need no introduction. Once again, we welcome back Gilderoy Lockhart, only recently graduated from Hogwarts, but already an international sensation since the publication of his bestselling, er, memoire “From Guilty Pleasure Oreo Cheesecake to Black Forest Lust Bars- A Catalogue of How to Win: My Love Life in Desserts,” she pursed her mouth shut, as though the previous sentence had been painful to utter.

“For fu- “

“Language, Mr Potter!” she interrupted the dark-haired boy half-heartedly. “I’m sure you are all, well, most of you, dying to impress Mr Lockhart, and who knows, with luck he may extend one of his famous handshakes to the star baker.”

She heard a couple of exasperated snorts amid the squeals of excitement.

“And, for the first time, we will have a new judge joining Mr Lockhart. We were initially going to offer the post to a staff member who is a well- known culinary genius, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, but- “

“Who?” said the muggle Health & Safety Expert, Tom.

“Nearly Headless Nick,” said James.

“But unfortunately, while he can spot a half-baked croissant, a collapsed tiered cake and the lack of air bubbles in a good focaccia,” McGonagall continued.

“But he’s, well, there’s no good way to put this, dead?” said Remus, eyebrows knotted together.

“How dare you, young man!” the ghost of Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington wafted into the tent, screeching in horror. “There is no calling for such unreasonable, rude and wholly unjustifiable- “

“Our special effects department is rather skilled,” McGonagall said to Tom, with a stern sniff, any questions dying on his lips, effectively silenced. “Sir Nicholas, get out.”

“The indignity! The audacity!” Nearly Headless Nick wailed as he disappeared through the tent, grabbing a hold of his hair and pulling upwards, until his head toppled over to the right.

“Incredible!” whispered Dick, the muggle who thought he was the producer.

“We are also ‘broadcasting’ this live across the nation, using very complicated and innovative muggle technology and special boxes called Televisions, I believe, Miss Evans?” said McGonagall, ignoring them all.

“That’s right, Professor, there’s one in the Great Hall which Benjy and I- “

“Benjy and I,” James muttered under his breath, making air-quotes with his hands and a disgruntled sound.

Lily shot him a dirty look.

“Which Benjy Fenwick, who is very talented and a close friend of mine- “ Lily said, looking at James pointedly.

“Get on with it!” James growled.

“Benjamin and I transfigured into a large cinema screen, and one smaller TV for each of the common rooms, aside from the Slytherin one. We have also set one up in the town square at Hogsmeade.”

“Oh? Why did you deliberately exclude some of your fellow students?” said McGonagall frowning severely at her, spectacles sliding down her nose in disapproval.

“They refused the offer, Minnie, bigoted wankers that they all are,” said Sirius, languidly sticking his feet on top of the chair in front of him, James’ chair, causing it to wobble. James smacked the back of his shins.

Snape glared at him from across the room.

“Oi!” said Dick, looking at Sirius with his hands on his hips. “This is a family show, we can’t have you cursing like- “

“In this case, we will disregard it,” McGonagall said primly. “I’m afraid it really is the only adequate description that comes to mind. Any further rudeness, however, will result in detention, Sirius Black.”

“Yes, Prof,” he said, shooting a triumphant look at Snivellus who ignored him, seething silently.

“The other judge!” Harriet, the muggle cameraperson, hissed from behind McGonagall.

“Ah, yes, and before I forget, our second, er… fascinating new judge. She is well-known for her bigo- for her love of pureblood cooking, having published extensively on the matter. Her bestselling Pink Cookbooks Series include “The Purest Treats - Secret Recipes from the kitchens of the Sacred Twenty-Eight”, “Twenty-Eight Cakes to Woo Your Pureblood Lover” and “Always Pure – Aristocratic Desserts To Kill For”. I am of course talking about Dolores Jane Umbri- “

“You have got to be kidding me!” Lily’s emerald eyes were wide as she stared at McGonagall in dismay. “That absolute cow? No fu- “

James Potter made a loud, retching noise to cover up for her.

“Sorry, that was me, Head Boy, trying not to puke,” he said, sticking his hands in his pockets, not sounding in the least apologetic.

McGonagall rolled her eyes and fixed them both with a resigned look.

“Without further ado, please welcome Dolores Umbridge and Gilderoy Lockhart!” she said, clapping her hands politely.

“Oh Merlin, what the hell have we signed up for?” groaned Lily, head falling over the back of her chair, giving James unfettered access to her desperately attractive silhouette, long neck outstretched as she slumped dramatically.

“Nightmare,” confirmed Remus watching in horror as Umbridge entered the tent, resplendent in a pink and white suit and matching pink specs.

“I think I may have to leave,” said James, flinging his feet onto the ground and standing up impulsively.

“And give Snivellus a greater chance of winning the GQBO? Shut up and sit down, you twat!” Sirius hissed at him, grabbing hold of his shirt, and pulling.

James toppled onto his seat, hesitating.

“If you leave, I leave, and if I leave, Remus leaves, and the chances of Lily have to interact with that greaseball increase astronomically,” his best friend said, pulling his chair forwards to whisper conspiratorially. “And saving Lily from that, old boy, is worth putting up with a lot.”

“Are you sure you’re not just doing this to ogle at Lockhart?” James huffed.

Sirius shot him a scornful look.

“Lockhart? He’s like a smear of bubopus in comparison to Moony’s beauty!”

“You’re so far gone, you’re pathetic,” James grinned manically.

“Shut up! It’s not my fault that my boyfriend is half-Veela. No, it’s quite simply the case that- “

James’ peels of laughter echoed around the tent, and he clamped his hand over his mouth as Minnie and the muggles glared at him, again.

“I get it, Padfoot,” he whispered when he was able to speak coherently. “You never had any interest in this competition, you don’t even have a sweet tooth! You just didn’t fancy the idea of Lovely Lockhart hanging out with our Moony- “

“Our?”

“Your poor Moony. So now you’re going to put yourself through all sorts of stress, let alone ridicule, just to be able to send the slimy prick one of your death glares? You don’t think your attractiveness levels will fall considerably when Moony figures out your tarts have soggy bottoms and-“

“Fuck you, Prongs, if anyone here is going to end up with a soggy bottom, it’s going to be you!”

“Me?” James’ hand flew into his bird’s nest hair. “How dare you suggest that one of Mia Potter’s creations could ever-“

“No offence, Prongs, but your cauldrons have a habit of melting or exploding, soggy-bottomed tarts are going to be the least of your problems,” Sirius tossed his silky hair and loosened his tie rakishly, front legs of his chair off the floor as he leaned back and shot a quick glance at his boyfriend, who was staring at Lockhart.

“I’ve no idea who you’re currently trying to impress, Padfoot,” said James, rolling his eyes and folding his arms across his chest. “But you look like an idiot, and you’ve already dropped down from a solid 8/10 to a-“

“Eight?” Sirius had to grab a hold of his stupid friend’s arm to steady himself, and to clear his throat to stop the unattractive high-pitched squeal. “Eight? I’ll have you know I’m a fucking ten by anyone’s standards, you -“

“Whatever,” James scoffed dismissively. “Point is, we are all agreed that Remus is a good 15/10 on an average day.”

“Obviously,” Sirius said.

“Obviously,” James nodded. “So you making a complete idiot of-“

“Don’t give a fuck, Prongs, I’m not a coward, I’m staying. What’s life without a little risk? You, on the other hand, I’m beginning to think-“

“Okay, fine, I’ll do it for Lily! But if I end up killing Umbridge or Snape, or both-“

“Preferably both, old chap.”

“I shan’t be held responsible for my actions!” James said, leaning forwards and casting a quick glance at the obnoxiously beautiful red-haired witch a few seats down from him, who was studiously avoiding eye contact. “Lily’s mad at me as it is, fucking livid, and with Umbridge judging, I don’t blame her if she tries to hex every single pureblood in her vicinity, me included.”

Note

answer them all for jily pls!!!! and if you don't want to do all, 2,6, and 9

Oof. Ok!!

OTP QUESTIONS

1. In a coffee shop AU, who would be the barista who keeps spelling the other person’s name wrong?

James. But he 100% knows how to spell Lily’s name. He doesn’t write the wrong spelling, he just constantly puts nicknames and pet names. One day he doesn’t cause he’s sad about his mum being sick, and she calls him out about it. When she finds out the reason, she’s mortified, but they chat. For hours.After they start dating, he still writes different names on the cup.And when she gets that Mrs. Potter cup, she’s not surprised.

2. . How would they describe one another’s sense of humor?

James on Lily’s: Dry, witty, dead clever, accurate, verging on mean when she gets emotional

Lily on James’s: Absolutely bonkers. But he makes her laugh.

3. How do they calm one another down?

Canon: walks around the lake, flying lessons, makeout sessions in the back of the library

AU: reruns of GBBO, swings, makeout sessions in the car

4. Your OTP goes to a carnival, where would they spend most of their time?

Bumper cars

5. Who is most likely to blush when complimented? Lily, especially if she’s been drinking. But James if the compliment comes from Lily.

6. What is one thing about their partner that they love?

They both love the challenge each presents to the other, and how even when they are competitive, it’s always grounded in tremendous mutual respect.

7. What do their closets look like? Ex- Do they share? Does one over flow into the other’s? ECT.

They are both absolute slobs. Lily has stolen of James’s Quidditch jerseys and James is slowly but surely charming all of Lily’s muggle high heels so they won’t hurt her feet anymore.

8. If they made a playlist for one another, what would their playlists look like?

I mean, the ultimate playlist. Probably quite a bit of ABBA.

9. Who said ‘I love you’ first?

James. Because, of course he did. And Lily was a little freaked because commitment is stressful and her sister won’t speak to her and they are so young. But there’s no one like James. And she loves him too.

10. Who makes the pun and who is deadpan and shakes their head?

Of course James makes the pun. Lily used cracks a smile, though. It’s Remus who shakes his head.

11. What type of pet(s) would your otp adopt?

Sirius Black

12. How do they hype one another up?

For sex? Arguing.

For exams? Jumping jacks.

13. What article of clothing do they steal from one another?

Socks

14. What was the most thoughtful gift they got for one another? How did one another react when receiving the gift?

Lily gave James Harry James Potter. They both cried.

15. What is an inside joke they have? How did it come about?

Certain words have loaded meanings, like the word necessary.How did it come about? Sexual tension.

jily gbbo au

lily is slightly drunk when she signs up for gbbo. her mum has just passed away and baking was their thing. lily would come home after a bad day and her mother would already be setting out things so they could bake a cake together

she works for a small online magazine and tells herself she could use the exposure, but really she knows she’s doing it because it would make her mum so happy

james is an teacher. his students love him, parents love him, his fellow teachers love him

he also makes the best scones in the entire world. sirius would marry one if he could

he, remus, and peter have definitely wrestled over which flavor james should make

sirius signs up in james’ name and announces it by spelling out “BAKE OFF” with jaffa cakes on their kitchen table

james cries, sirius cries, they clean up by eating every single jaffa cake in eight minutes

so the auditions are long and grueling but our kiddos are great bakers and they delight the producers and both earn spots on the show

when they come to film james’ intro on the show they think sirius is his husband at first

mostly because they call each other babe constantly

they ask how sirius feels about his partner doing this and he starts telling this ridiculous story about how he baked twenty cakes in the shape of toilets they saw on their travels around the world for their wedding

and then remus calls from the other room, “they’re not married!”

everyone has dinner before filming so they can all get to know each other

james gets there pretty late bc when is he not and the only available seat is beside the most beautiful person he has ever seen in his life

she smiles at him and he dies right there

he’s so flustered that instead of introducing himself, he’s like, “so, have you ever baked before?”

she kinda laughs but just says, “yeah, i bake a little.”

lily shows up on the first day of filming with five bags of ingredients

james shows up with a pair of novelty darth vader oven mitts

the signature and technical challenges are pretty simple stuff, they’re both in the middle of the pack

but then, the showstopper

they have to bake 48 fairy cakes/cupcakes

james ices and arranges his to look like paul hollywood’s face

mel and sue are laughing so hard they can’t speak

paul LOVES it ofc and james gets his first of TWO paul hollywood handshakes

lily has it a little harder

paul and mary love the flavor of her grapefruit and white chocolate fairy cakes but say they could’ve used a few more minutes in the oven and she cries

it’s not a big deal, plenty of people did a lot worse, but she’s so upset

james feels awful so in the next episode he makes a big show of tripping as he takes his eclairs out of the oven, which destroys them

(he was going to start over anyways, but he hopes it might make her laugh a little)

she knows exactly what he’s doing, but she laughs anyways

lily slowly starts dominating technical challenges

james has somehow made every single thing from the technical challenges but he always forgets what they’re supposed to look like

paul hollywood laughs for a solid two minutes when he somehow turns the buttercream in his opera cakes bright green

“they’re delicious, but james… they’re green”

“yes sir that would be the mint i added”

“why did you do that?”

“i don’t… know???”

james is better at showstoppers because he’s so dramatic and loves building things

lily is really good at tiny details and piping too

they’re making sculptures out of biscuits for one showstopper and he’s making a 3D postcard of the world (yes, he’s dumb)(yes, sue knocks over the eiffel tower four times) and he calls lily over to show him how to pipe details on the Sydney Opera House better

their hands brush over the piping bag

things are getting truly wild over here

people all over twitter are thirsting over james. he’s this season’s tamal

but people also notice how james and lily look at each other as they bake

paul makes a face over lily’s pomegranate iced matcha shortbread bc somehow he doesn’t like the matcha flavor but he can’t taste it either and she just barely rolls her eyes

the camera cuts to james who high fives her as she walks back

he asks to taste one after judging ends and she picks one up and straight up feeds it to him

he starts moaning about how it’s the best thing he’s ever eaten

the camera gets it all and the next day, there’s two buzzfeed articles and many, many gifs

james steals chocolate chips from her constantly

he throws some to her and she tries to catch them in her mouth like jake and amy in “the bet” from brooklyn nine-nine

they lay on the ground together as they wait for things to bake and he braids her hair

y’all know james is star baker of bread week. he nails that focaccia! everything is perfectly proved and baked! another paul hollywood handshake!

lily makes a pretty good apricot and chocolate braided bread for the signature

while james’ loaf is proving she’s making her apricot spread and is like, “while you’re sitting around, come knead this for a sec”

so she finishes up the spread as he kneads her dough

he does that really loud slapping method too

-lily: “so that’s the method you go with? i’m prefer really getting my hands in there”

mel and sue tell them they’re putting them out of a job

lily cries when they say james is that week’s star baker

at the end of the episode they interview her and through her tears she keeps saying how proud she is and how much he deserves it

“he never shuts up about bread! never! i’ve never met someone so passionate about dough!”

the next week is retro week

she ties a scarf in her hair and makes the best black forest gateau anyone has ever had

she and james bump hips when they announce that she’s star baker

and finally it’s the finale and they’ve both made it along with a nice grandmother who’s good, if a bit old fashioned

they both swear the other will win

they’re rolling out dough in the signature and lily starts humming “wannabe” from the spice girls and james just starts singing along

and they look up and do the rap together and roll out the dough in sync

the final challenge is to do a tower of macarons

lily makes him close his eyes and taste her fillings so she knows the flavors are strong enough

“what flavors are you getting?”

“lemon???”

“yeah, but what kind?”

“what kinds are there?”

“i don’t know!”

she smears some of his face and he doesn’t wipe it off

they finish and go out to the big tea party. sirius, remus, and peter sit at a table with them and eat both

they do their interview together. lily smiles and says, “i don’t care if i win. either way, i think things are going to be fine.”

they hold hands as they wait for the winner to be announced. neither of them notice.

when they call out lily’s name she turns to james and kisses him

mel and sue are shook

“looks like we’ve actually got two winners today!”

they both become famous afterwards, and both have cookbooks

james remains a teacher but lily becomes sort of a lauren conrad type figure and has a wildly popular baking blog

they are revered on social media in the best way (with no weird fans), and often post pictures of bakes with the caption “guess who made this one?”

spoiler: it’s usually both of them
