Love with Piety

lily evans doesn’t have an affair. it’s just that alice is such a sweetheart.

they’re sitting in the potters’ living room. lily thinks she and james have done quite a good job: there’s a brown sofa inherited from euphemia and fleamont that looks just as comfy as it is, thanks to an intricate transfiguration charm performed by sirius. above it hangs a painting of a big black dog and a deer, both looking like a deer in the headlights. now that lily knows what remus is, she understands why it was peter’s wedding gift for her and her husband. she pretends she doesn’t worry that james might be keeping more stupidly dangerous and illegal secrets from her. 

there’s also a colour tv, standing on the little muggle chess table they no longer use. lily can give it to the wizarding world — their version of the game is much more entertaining. she only wishes people without magic could play it, too. 

apart from that, there are only two more pieces of furniture: a cupboard standing by the tv and a credenza placed close to the opposite wall, which holds all of their bed linen. 

lily’s feet find the glorious carpet she insisted was essential for this room. it’s soft, made out of something she would call wool, but she’s sure it isn’t. she is bad at sewing and therefore doesn’t need to hold her lack of interest in materials against herself. she is content enough with knowing it can be washed with a simple Scourgify and the pattern james has chosen. it’s full of flowers and geometrical shapes, all in warm, unobtrusive colours.

it’s all perfect.

but there is only one place lily’s eyes can rest tonight. the woman sits so close to her that they share one body heat. 

alice has collarbone-length blond hair and lily wonders why she hasn’t noticed it before. it exposes alice’s neck and the beautiful delicate beads that encircle it. she smells faintly of clothing detergent and it is sweet. lily guesses her friend bought the one smelling of lilac.

and even if amortentia always smells like sweat and james’ perfume to lily, she has bought lilac laundry detergent this month.

alice is dressed in jeans and a hufflepuff jumper. it’s black and the only sign that reminds lily of the house is the little yellow crest. lily gets why longbottom (she still can’t believe why frank wasn’t the one to change his surname) wears it, even lily can not resist the urge to slip into her warm, red and black hogwarts sweatshirt from time to time. now potter is wearing a smooth long dress with red and orange flowers inwrought. 

“it lets your eyes truly shine,” whispered alice while they hugged in the foyer.

there is a bottle of wine barely holding onto the carpeted floor by the sofa. lily had forced james to go to a muggle shop in london to buy this nonalcoholic beverage, so she bends over to save it from spilling. alice’s hand follows her arm.

when she straightens, her breath catches.

alice looks her right in the eyes and her expression says,

“come closer. we can do it again. we can.”

and lily has no other option but to believe her because they have kissed once today, already. and lily remembers saying,

“you are magnificent, i can feel your magic floating around me, barely touching, just gently stroking the hair of mine. alice longbottom, you are a true gift.” Her eyes were closed, and the woman now holding her was kissing her collarbone, just above the hem of her dress. lily tasted metal and knew she was in the right hands, in the hands of a friend.

so now lily comes closer and makes them both flourish. suddenly she is the one in charge, guiding alice’s palm to her belly, and placing her own hand on alice’s. there is something connecting them.

two mothers two husbands two children a war.

“lily, today, we are pure energy,” alice says smiling, following in lily’s footsteps and crawling fully onto the soft sofa, “you know it’s not what they would say.” it’s not love, even though they love each other as friends.

it’s lust and hunger.

but lily knows what she is doing is right, in a sense. james has sirius, sirius has his saviorism for him. they are best friends. they are siblings. they are constantly treading the fine line of what’s acceptable.

and sirius is a part of james.

so lily kisses alice with unstoppable ferocity and fond amity and piety because she has always been pious.

and because if sirius is a part of james, then alice is a part of lily.

What if, when looking in the mirror of erised, Remus didn’t see the marauders, skittles, valkyries and others young and happy as he’d expected, but old and happy.

Old men and women, so wrinkled and ugly that he didn’t recognize them at first.

Old men and women who’d lived out a full and happy life, with children for some, and sweet memories for all of them.

Some married, others made blood oaths to forever be together, others just were content living with those they loved.

But all together.

Not dead.

Not dead.

And he breaks down crying.

Alice: So what are all of your skills? James: Peter, Sirius and I are animagi. I'm a deer Peter: I'm a rat Sirius: and I'm a dog Remus: I'm a werewolf Marlene: I'm the fastest broom rider of our generation Lily: I'm incredible book smart, read and memorised almost every book in the school library Mary: I make good life decisions Alice: That's not really a... Remus: No, trust me. She's our most important member

Lily is a pink girl, Mary is a purple girl, Marlene is a red girl, Emmeline is a blue girl, Alice is a yellow girl, Sybill is an orange girl, Dorcas is a green girl, and Pandora is a rainbow girl. I don’t make the rules.

Pandora Rosier who dreams of the future, who doesn't just dream of a boy drowning in a cave. but sees her brother laying on the ground; not moving, the normally cheerful Barty screaming for his mother in the dark. Who hears Dorcas' sobs ringing in her ears no matter what song she hums.

It's not just her friends she sees in visions, one day Marlene Mckinnon falls from her broom and a flash of her falling after being hit with a spell haunts Pandora for weeks. Lily and James bickering in the hall turns into death on Halloween. Alice's shrieks as Frank tosses her in the lake morph in screams of pain. Sirius staring at his brother across the dining hall melt into him staring at his brothers star from a prison cell. Remus reading alone in the library turns into his sitting alone at a graveyard. Oddly enough she never sees Peter though.

Pandora Rosier who is cursed with far to much knowledge and no power to change it. Pandora, who will see her own demise after watching all those she cares for go before her.
