I feel really bad tonight, i should go to sleep, but if i do I’m gonna go insane, don’t want it though. So I’m just gonna keep me awake with some cute Wolfstar things. Also I’m actually obsess with the « p4perback x whataboutpadfoot » duo (perfect actors for Wolfstar i swear)

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

Marlene adored Dorcas Meadowes. She adored how extremely beautiful she was. She loved how adorable she was when she laughed about something Marlene had said. She adored when it was just the two of them talking in secret about life, holding hands and playing with their fingers. She adored how Dorcas talked, what she thought about life, her dreams and ideals.

Everything was perfect about Dorcas Meadowes. Marlene could easily say that she was the girl of her dreams.

The only problem that she had, were her hideous friends.

"Thank you for coming with me" Marlene whispered to her friend on their way to the Slytherin Common Room "I think I am sweating in places where people shouldn't sweat"

"Is it boobs? Boobs are an inconvenient place to sweat... I guess you won't mind that considering you are a lesbian and all..."

"For God's sake, Mary" Marlene groaned "You're making me more nervous"

Mary grinned in the dark. She looked perfect with her purple dress, heels that matched and that furry black coat. Marlene had tried a dress as well. It was a big tee turned into a dress more like. With a Black Sabbath print on the front, and ripped tights, combat boots. Maybe something more "feminine" would have worked, but Marlene hated pastel colors.

"But Marly, if you wanted diplomacy with the posh wankers, you should have brought Lily, not me" Mary added as she fixed her lipstick in a trophy shelf nearby.

"I needed someone who would criticize those barbies in a bitchy way with me. And you know how nice Lily is"

"True" Mary smiled as they carried on walking.

They loved Lily but sometimes that girl was too good for this world and people liked to take advantage of her for her kindness.

"But don't flirt around" Marlene warned "Especially with Nick... Actually stay away from him..."

Mary raised an eyebrow "Please... I am so over that handsome twat..."

Marlene gave her a look.

"What? The fact that he is a twat doesn't take away his beauty"

"Oh for God's sake" Marlene sighed as they reached to the main doors of the green house.

Mary placed her hand of Marlene's shoulder.

"Just be your cheerful self and everything will be okay"

"Am I allowed to vomit first?"

Mary shook her head.

"I really fancy her, Mary" Marlene whined with a pout.

Mary gave her a smile before pushing her inside.

Marlene had been to the Slytherin Common Room before, but she was always surprised (and a bit disgusted) by the amount of green. Maybe she was used to the red. But there was something about Gryffindor colors that were warmer and more cozy. This common room reminded Marlene of a very fancy but sticky pub.

Marlene looked around noticing some familiar faces: Alecto and her brother, Alice, Josephine, some of the Knights. Regulus and his friend Barty were even smoking weed in a corner and what appeared to be making fun of people. Sirius’s little brother!

"I didn't know Regulus was a junkie" Marlene commented.

"The kid has always been kind of edgy" Mary tutted.

Marlene caught Regulus's gaze and waved with a smile. Regulus didn't expect to see her because he became pale and dragged his friend away.

I'm that instant, Marlene heard a very familiar voice. So soothing and sexy.

"McKinnon!! You came!!"

As Dorcas's arms wrapped her neck, Marlene's nostrils were filled with the most delicious smell. She always smelled of lavender and strong mint.

Immediately Marlene smiled. Like a fool. She was so happy to see this girl.

And God! Dorcas was so beautiful tonight. She was wearing a white ensemble with a colorful bandana on top of her head, her braids coming down gracefully. And Dorcas was so pretty that she didn't need much makeup.

Sometimes Marlene thought she was lucky that a girl this gorgeous was with her.

And God, when Dorcas kissed her in front of the pretentious of her friends, Marlene was in heaven.

"Pretty as always, princess" Marlene said which made her girlfriend blush.

"You look so cool as well" Dorcas responded "That dress looks sexy on you"

"Aaw and you guys are too adorable..."

Marlene was reminded of Mary's presence when she realized her friend was staring at them with a wide smile on her face.

"I'm so glad you could join us, Macdonald" Dorcas said to her "We always make big deals out of Sam's birthdays"

"Sure, with daddy's money" Marlene whispered under her breath as she stared at Samuel Avery. Such a pretentious twat. Drinking shots, he was. Next to the devil, or as people knew him: Nick Mulciber. Dorcas's step brother.

"What?" Dorcas asked.

"What?" Marlene replied.

"We are going to have great fun" Mary interrupted with a chuckle.

"Sure!" Dorcas smiled, holding Marlene's hand. Fingers intertwined. Marlene's heart started beating fast.

"And it is no fun without a first shot on your system"

Marlene almost rolled her eyes. It wasn't a Slytherin party without Nick Mulciber trying to get people drunk. Head of the Knights and all.

She didn't understand why girls considered him charming and handsome. He was a twat.

"What's up, Bubba!! Long time no see!" Marlene exclaimed. She loved seeing his reaction when she said that. Especially when people around them laugh.

"McKinnon, didn't we see each other yesterday in class?" Nick asked "And I don't like when you call me that"

"I find it adorable" Dorcas added with a smile "Maybe I will call you that from now on"

"Oi! Oi! Bubba!" Avery called from the other side of the room, making several people laugh. Nick showed him his middle finger.

"It suits you" Marlene grinned as she hit Dorcas's palm.

Nick didn't know how to hide his annoyance. He smiled fakely. Then turned to Mary who was fixing her breasts into her dress.

"Macdonald... I didn't know you were coming" Immediately Nick put on his flirty gallant mode "Shot?"

These two had history. Basically he was Mary's first boyfriend and a shitty one for that matter.

"I'm alright, Nick. Promised Marly I would be the designated walker..." she smiled to her own joke "I am hungry, though. Do you have any food?"

"I can happily take you to the food table"

"I'm a big girl" she said, and God, was she flirting? "I can go by myself"

Mary winked at Marlene before walking away, attracting the eyes of several boys around. And Nick's eyes didn't leave her tush as she left.

"Nick!!" Avery shouted, getting his attention back to him "We need more shots over here!".

"Ladies"

"Bubba..."

Dorcas covered a giggle as her brother finally left. But she let it out when he was gone.

"God!!" Marlene let out a sigh of relief "Did I dress correctly? Princess, I was really nervous. First party with your friends since we started dating and I wanted to give a good impression. Then I go and call your brother Bubba, I thought it was funny but it was pathetic and I am sweating everywhere, even my tits are sweating! I know you are going to think I am smooth with words and conversations but I am a fiasco in reality... You have no idea... And now you are laughing... Am I talking too much?"

Dorcas didn't answer. She was smiling beautifully though. And Marlene felt naked by the way she was looking at her. Then she wrapped her arms around Marlene's neck and pulled her in for a very worthy and satisfying kiss. It made Marlene smile when it was done.

"I am so glad you are here" she said "I used to get so bored in these parties but you make everything ten times better"

"Happy to help" Marlene smiled back.

"Do you want to dance?"

"Sure"

Marlene thought she had been through the worst. But no. Two minutes after dancing, and Alecto Carrow was all over her.

"Darling, nice look! Did you find that tee in the boys' dorm?"

"Did you find a brain yet? Or are they too hard to get?"

Alecto laughed loudly and openly with her high-pitched voice. Of course Dorcas believed it was innocent teasing between them.

"You kill me! You're so funny!" she exclaimed "Dorki, your girlfriend is hilarious! I would want one like that as well if I were a lesbian... Shame I am boy crazy!"

"Shame! Otherwise I would be all over you"

Alecto gasped and giggled hitting Marlene's arm.

"Don't get jealous, Dorki! I know I am irresistible even for girls"

"We all know that, Al" Dorcas said with a smile "Don't worry"

Marlene honestly didn't know how Dorcas stood this girl everyday.

"You shouldn't have brought that Maneater with you, though" Alecto sipped her drink and Marlene's eyes traveled to where Mary was. She was already taking and laughing with a bloke.

"Alecto!" Dorcas protected.

"It was a joke!" Alecto laughed "We are all sisters now"

It wasn't that Alecto was mean persay, not like Nick, the devil, Mulciber. But she was so annoyingly hallow it was funny. Sometimes Marlene liked her, sometimes she found her stressing.

Marlene smiled sympathetically as Alecto moved away.

"Sorry, she's a bit too much sometimes" Dorcas whispered to her "But in the bottom, right right in the bottom of her heart..." she smiled "She is a good person"

"Don't worry" Marlene waved down "It's like having a real life Barbie"

Dorcas let out a chuckle.

"Never had a Barbie"

"No way!" Marlene exclaimed "Never?"

"I had baby dolls when I was a baby, from five and on, only Ballet"

There she was. Marlene had never been a fan of damsels in distress but Dorcas was one. Her mother had been too strict with her. She was only sixteen. She had her whole life ahead of her. Marlene wished she could take her off that bubble.

"No wonder why you like Alecto so much" Marlene joked, making Dorcas smile "You, my lady... Need to have more fun... Do you like Avery?"

Dorcas raised an eyebrow. She didn't know if it was tricky question since that boy had been after Dorcas since forever. Thank God Dorcas was as much of a lesbian as her.

"He's alright"

"So let's get tossed, dance, be wild and young for the rest of his birthday, alright?"

Dorcas's eyes glowed with excitement. She was gorgeous like that.

"Sounds splendid!"

They sealed it with a kiss.

True to their words, they ended up having fun. It was just the two of them. Occasionally Mary who flew around the room like a butterfly. But Marlene could say that she was having fun. She could tell Dorcas as well. She had never seen the Ice Princess smiling and laughing so much.

She was more daring as well. They were having a competition of shots and now that Marlene's girlfriend was a bit intoxicated, she loosed herself.

Although her friends weren't happy to see Dorcas so changed. Marlene noticed the glances from her dear brother in law.

"Okay! I am pissing myself. I think I am going to pee"

It was funny to see such refined princess talk so raw like Marlene.

"Are you sure you can manage on your own?" she asked laughing a little "Are we okay?"

"You are so okay, milady" Dorcas winked and then slapped Marlene's ass.

"Oh!"

"This is my girl, ladies and gentlemen!" she screamed. "Marlene McKinnon with her fun crazy ass!"

Marlene blushed as several people turned to look at her.

"Right, miss 'shouldn't drink no more', I think I will take you to the loo"

Dorcas shook her head. She looked so happy, like never before. "I am fine..."

Marlene looked into her eyes.

"I am fine because I love you"

Marlene froze. It was the first time she said it. Just like that. As if it was so easy to say two words. She even looked more sober by the seriousness of her words.

"Love you, McKinnon" Dorcas gave her a little peck on the lips "Be right back"

Marlene considered following her when she Dorcas arm and arm with Alice Fortescue and she considered she would be alright. Plus, she was kind of panicking. Did Dorcas say she loved her? Was that pure drunk talk or real?

"Did you also hear that?" Marlene asked a random boy next to her.

He simply stared at her with a quizzinal look.

"Oh my God, am I dreaming?" she carried on "Did the Ice Princess say she loved me?"

The boy didn't reply.

"Shit, I don't even know you" she told him, then she looked around "Mary?? Mary Macdonald?? MAARYYY!!"

The Slytherin Common Room was too crowded and it was difficult to find Mary. Marlene touched the shoulder of a girl similar to Mary snogging someone but it wasn't her. She needed advice. Marlene didn't know what to do. Should she say it back? Did she feel it?

"Fuck Mary, where are you?" Marlene asked to herself as she reached the stairs that went down to the dorms "You better not be shagging someone"

"Knowing your friend, she probably is"

Marlene rolled her eyes as she heard his voice behind her. When she turned there was his stupid face in front of her. Mulciber.

"Jealous much, Bubba?" Marlene asked as she crossed her arms.

"Please, I don't have that bad taste"

"Then how do you stand to look at yourself in the mirror everyday?"

Mulciber almost smiled but then he just pursed his lips.

"You think you are so funny, don't you?"

"I have my good days"

Marlene decided to leave, because it was uncomfortable the way he was looking at her. And they were all alone. Which was even worse.

"Good chat... Should probably go"

Mulciber stopped her before she could cross passed him.

"Wait, McKinnon. I think we should speak"

"Sorry, I don't speak monkey"

"This is serious" Mulciber grunted pushing her a little.

In reality, Marlene was a bit scared of this wanker. As much as she played brave. So she swallowed but tried to hide she was frightened.

"Are we going to be sentimental now? Should I grab some tissues?"

"I get that we are in the big age of experimentation" Nick said ignoring Marlene "Boys with boys, girl with girls... It seems exciting for some"

This was exactly the thing this tosser would say.

"Gay people don't experiment" Marlene spat "They just are"

"I don't like your pertinent tone and the way you think you are better than everyone else, McKinnon"

Something about the way he said it, gave chills to Marlene.

"I don't think I am better than everyone else. Just you"

"Dorcas might be fooling around with you but don't get your hopes up, McKinnon" Nick was getting uncomfortably closer so she was trying to back away "You know she is too much for you. Everyone knows that. Even Dorcas knows that"

He made a pause. So she blinked, trying not to shake.

"Dorcas is meant to do great things in the future. A ballet prodigy. A star. And even if your daddy is a famous athlete, McKinnon, you will never be at her level"

"Are you saying that because I am a girl?" Marlene snapped.

Mulciber grinned "I'm saying that because you are you" he said "You are loud, crazy, a rebel. You're going downhill. It is your brother who has a future, what do you have? What are you actually good at except causing trouble?"

Marlene had to admit his words were hurting her. It was as if someone was squeezing juice out of her most deepest insecurities.

"Please, look at yourself. You are not lady like, not a proper girl, and not even pretty"

Other girls were pretty, feminine and delicate. Marlene had a big nose, weird ears and there was no filter on what she said. What on earth did Dorcas see in her? A clown? A personal clown to make her laugh and make her life interesting. No, a sweet princess like her could never love the mess that she was.

"You understand that I am her brother and it is my job to expect the best for her" Mulciber added, then he smiled when he saw Marlene's eyes filling with tears "Aaaw, do you want to cry, McKinnon?"

Marlene was no lady. She did what she did best. She stepped on his foot so hard, that he screamed in pain.

"I also think Dorcas deserve better than a brother with a brain as small as his dick"

Mulciber groaned "You little..."

"Hey! Everything okay?"

Both Marlene and Nick to see Dorcas a few meters away from them.

Marlene was head over heels with the most beautiful girl she had ever met. She loved everything about her. She probably loved her.

Even if Dorcas's friends were awful. Even if her brother was the absolute worst. Even if her mother would never approve their relationship. Yet, Marlene's heart beated so hard everytime she was around. It could only be love. Right?

"Yeah! Yeah!" Marlene faked a smile "We were just chatting over here. This guy is really funny!"

Then she elbowed him too hard. He let out a grunt.

"I am glad you are getting along, finally" Dorcas beamed.

"Bestest of mates, eh Bubba?"

Nick clenched his jaw and fakely put an arm around Marlene. She wanted to push him away.

"Sure, McKinnon. Bestest of friends"

Marlene really hated this twat. And she couldn't believe he was the brother of the girl of her dreams. The girl she had fallen in love with. Perhaps.

"Good! Let's go dancing more, my sweet McKinnon" Dorcas smiled.

"I hate you" Marlene whispered into his ear with a smile before taking her girlfriend's hand and walking back to the party.

MORE OF ME COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FANDOM

- i’ve seen so many ppl consider andromeda and sirius leaving from their family as an act of love for their muggle born partners. i don’t really like that ESP for sirius. it really downplays their morals and what they fought for.

- why is regulus the forth marauder? where tf did peter go

- if i see one more piece of content that makes sirius leaving the house of black about regulus im going to lose it. “ b-b-but how could he leave his baby brother🥺” that little baby brother was apart of a supremacist terrorist cult let’s be for real

-making characters like lily or remus in ships with those deatheaters assholes is WILD.

-andromeda is everything you want regulus to be give this girl the credit she deserves

-fanon regulus is cringe as hell. you all just took over characters story’s to make it his. he sucked.

-the moment someone brings up that a new ship/hdcs don’t make sense and ppl say “nothing is the hp universe makes sense” i lose a year off my life. let’s use our little heads and figure out that even in a fantastical world. things.can.still.make.sense.with.the.plotline.

- some of the regulus/evan/barty and whatever ways fans are like the WHINIEST fandom i have ever seen. can’t take any (valid btw) criticism on their weird little fetishes and act like they���re being oppressed when people don’t like the same thing as them. not all of you guys obv but a LOT

- “if you don’t like it just scroll” no? some things are objectively wrong and bad and should be discussed grow up

-this fandom is turning into a booktok porn addiction fandom

-a fandom is a place of discussion. people not liking fictional characters and talking about it is not going to kill you

-james’s character got dumbed down so BADLY by all the jegulus nonsense like james being kind of a simp in canon was because his love for LILY was pure and strong. they have a whole ass prophecy.

-making every character queer isn’t doing what you think it’s doing. and frankly idgaf if you make this character queer if that character is a horrible person. doesn’t make them more likable or interesting.

-there is a deep rooted issue of misogyny in this fandom.

-saying that jegulus is not going against lily as a character is not true. fanon regulus is literally lily but like racist. jegulus is literally jily.

-lily evans can love james potter and still be a strong character these two are not linked at all

-dorlene/jily/wolfstar where the sanest ships in the fandom. maybe add rose killer on there cus frankly since it doesn’t change much the characters or storyline it’s okay

-remember when regulus was ace? why did that get completely forgotten

-some of the fancasts did irreparable damage to people’s brains. because hot doesn’t mean better person

-james potter would punch most of the people you ship him with

- jegulus fics where harry is there kid and lily is a surrgate/barely in the pic is CRAZY

-mary is so sexualized? like why

- sirius was canonically better looking than regulus lol

-the black family can be explored so much more besides just the regulus glaze

-REGULUS BARELY CONTRIBUTED TO VOLDMORT BEING DEFEATEDDDDS PLEASE

- some of the new sapphic ships are actually good. nobleflower is very interesting.

[wildflowergirlie]

The Jily AU will have Jily, and will also have wolfstar as the secondary ship and probably dorlene. It will probably resemble more parts of the old fandom than the new (because of Jily and low slytherin content), which can be a pro or con depending on your preference. It will probably be longer, although both would be long-haul fics.

The Jegulus AU will have Jegulus, Wolfstar, Marylily, Dorlene, with the focus of the ships in that order (Marylily and Wolfstar very closely tied though, Wolfstar just happens sooner and we meet both characters for it sooner). It will probably resemble more parts of the newer fandom than the old (because of Jegulus and the slytherin/Ravenclaw characters getting more of a focus, and the unfortunate low Peter content (by that I mean Peter is Glenn)).

Both would be about the same length and take a while to be out and I truly can't decide, so please let me know which one y'all would prefer to read!! Feel free to ask questions about each, although I can't guarantee an answer for everything yet.

[enbysiriusblack]

heey :))))

Do you have any James-centric fic recs?

like NOT with any ships as the main focus preferably? I'm still open to Jily and Prongsfoot, avoiding wolfstar and jegulus for a bit now heh. If any fics fit the description, could you please recommend? Quidditch fanatic shining academic but simultaneously silly goofy and dumb James is my jam. He's adorable. But seriously I'd read any James at the point, there's a scarcity of James content in the fandom 😭

Thank you so much!! Have a great day <3

james centric oneshot of maruders playing a prank (there is wolfstar subtext)

short oneshot of james and sirius mourning euphemia and fleamont together

it's more sirius centric, but i love how james is described in it/his dynamic with sirius. also you're very right about their not being many non-relationship james centric fics

james centric of him dealing with grief of losing his father

that's all i really have at the moment, i'm afraid. most of them are oneshots cause i usually don't have time for longer fics/only really read dorlene long fics or my mutuals' fics

also not to rec my own fics, but i always do when ppl ask me for fic recs cause i'm a bit full of myself. i've got an unrequited prongstail fic i've recently started (peter IS the main pov, but it very much highlights and analyses james and his personality. like d'yknow the great gatsby? peter is the nick, the observer, but james is the gatsby, the centre of the story/the observed- does have jily endgame, but not really centric). i'm also planning a james centric fic about him losing his parents, so ig look out for that in a bit. not sure when i'll post it.

[7upslut]

to other non-sapphic marauder lovers

I love the marauders fandom to death but please give sapphic relationships the same attention and love. yeah it's fun to talk about the potter family always falling for some slytherin and stuff like that but when we only allow ourselves to focus on mlm relationships it harms so many people

wlw, nblw, and nblnb relationships should not just some side thing that gets put in stories because people don't know what to do now that the men are paired off

a lot of people in this fandom brag about us being progressive and inclusive as a whole but when it is only mlm ships dominating our fandom there is clearly something wrong

in fanfiction and fan content there has always been a heavy preference for mlm ships and that was mostly due to there being very few (sometimes no) well written women in the original media that stayed alive. Even if there where multiple well written women in that media they probably weren't the main characters and might not have even met. even if you wanted to go back further in history when anti queer laws where being drafted they were only made against men because men didn't think women smart enough or didn't have the autonomy to be queer.

we don't rely on canon for majority of our information and we don't live in the past so why is this blatant misogyny living in our fandom?

the best way to support everyone in our community is to uplift these ships and interact with these stories, edits, headcanons, and creators

if you just don't know where to start looking here are some of my favorite ships + a good fic with them as the main

dorlene - The Hand That Feeds by Rollercoasterwords on ao3

marylily - Speak Now by arakhnee on ao3

pandalily - whatever she wants (whatever you want) by showyoumine on ao3

also theneuroticwriter on tiktok is planning to write a long fic that follows the girls through their years at hogwarts. I would love to read this fic and I would love for this author to have more support 

there are plenty of posts and creators to look at from these ships and there are so many impeccable stories and characters that just aren't getting the attention they deserve

[skizzle1]

i’ve been on a marylily brainrot and very recently i posted a short fic on them!

and i’ve noticed statistically how bad fics on the marauders women do. now i always knew this, but seeing the number differences are insane. this goes for all platforms the fandom is on. but specifically tik tok and ao3 it’s so saddening.

i was scrolling through my favorite wlw ships like dorlene or marylily and comparing to wolfstar and jegulus and it’s frustrating.

the fact this isn’t even just exclusive to just the marauders/hp fandom but across all fan spaces. please please please creators out there focus on the women more and people who consume the content don’t just focus on the guys. this isn’t to target anyone but ARGH!! it hurts seeing authors i look up to posting amazing fics on any non man character and seeing it’s number not reach what it could.

idk i’m ranting !!

[risetherivermoon]

hey there babe

ik it was a while ago but requesting info on the cowgirl dorlene au? please, thank you, have an amazing day

ah yes!

dorlene is a ship that i don't write about often which is saaad, and i really want to write something with them as the main couple at some point,

but anyways, cowgirls!:

this au is one i don't have too much about just because i dont read or write western aus much, but i love the aesthetic and everything, so yk

id imagine this as being Marlene is a criminal who's been wanted for a while for theft or what not and she has a reward for her capture all that,

Dorcas owns a saloon down the road, and works as the bartender there, she's pretty well known around town, she lives in the space above it,

Marlene, probably running from the sheriff, breaks into the saloon after hours and hides somewhere, Dorcas wakes up from the noise and goes downstairs and catches Marlene,

they argue back and forth before Dorcas decides that Marlene can stay for a bit only if she doesn't cause any trouble her way and never comes back,

but, the sheriff finds where Marlene is staying and suddenly Dorcas is dragged into being a cowgirl on the run, and they go through a bunch of adventures and stuff while running through from the police,

oh and they kiss, because gay people <3

if this was a fic id probably add some background/minor ships too, maybe James as the sheriff and Regulus is a bartender at one of the places that Dorlene stops at (he and Marlene know eachother maybe), which ends up with Jegulus meeting and all that,

Wolfstar as regulars at the saloon and they just have a lot of tension, all of that,

maybe Rosekiller as some other criminals they come across, maybe Marlene has worked with them in the past, etc etc

idk id have to think more about it more, but i like the idea i have now lol

my girls <3

anyways, thanks for the ask! and dw abt sending this a bit late i still enjoy ranting about all of these lol, and there are still more of the ideas i haven't gone through entirely, i might edit the list to say all the ones i havent talked abt yet we'll see

but in conclusion, dorlene is definitely a ship i want to write and make more content about, 100%, i love western aus, i hope you have a good day, and thanks for letting me spill my brain juices on the coffee table,

(original post/list: socks fic ideas )

[aithusarosekiller]

Hii, I was wondering where I can read Amber of ember glows? I've been looking on AO3 and can't find it there with your other works. Anyway I looooove your works and desperately need more dorlene hahaha your memes have warmed my heart hahahah. Is there a link where I can read it?? Thank you for your great content and have a great day xxxx

FOR MY PRETTY GIRL- part. 2

Sirius Black x fem! florist! reader

Request: yes / no

Synopsis: Y/n and Sirius get closer

Warning/content: nothing just fluff, dorlene, jily, didn’t include peter in the marauders and I’m not sorry, reader has hair long enough to put it in a bun, kissing, mention of sex, quick mention of shitty families, my English

a.n.: 3.2k words- I wrote y/n as a muggle but up to your imagination if you want the marauders and the girls to be wizards or not.

masterlist/ marauders masterlist / navigation / part. 1

── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.───･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.──

Y/n kept the rose on the counter the entire day and took it to her home. The next day she didn’t have the time to think about Sirius or the flower, many customers came and left the shop. It was only during her lunch break that she realized that the young man didn’t come by yet.

About an hour before the closing of the flower shop Sirius finally showed up. Y/n was still busy with other clients so she didn’t see him right when he came. He watched her as she was running left and right, he observed how her hair flew in the air as she moved, her bun half untied she rapidly took a pen from the counter and tucked it in her hair before heading to the backroom.

She stepped out of the back shop, a water bottle in her hand, and finally breathed, sitting on a chair. On days like this, the hot air of summer was choking her when she was working. She drank a long sip of water before raising her head to see Sirius waiting for her behind the bar.

A smile apparated on her lips at the sight of him, she got up slowly, feeling an upcoming headache. He was happy to see her and he could tell that she was happy too. “Hi Sirius!” she grinned, the young man’s heart melted when she said her name, it sound sweeter when it came from her.

He was as smiling as her “Hello Y/n. Do you receive my little gift?” Y/n’s eyes lighted up when he evocated the flower. “Oh yes! Thank you! I brought it home with me, it smells so good.” She stopped herself from talking even more about the rose when she felt her cheeks go red.

Sirius looked at her softly, he was finding her so cute to be excited about a simple rose that he gave her. His gaze fell to her lips for a second. Maybe more than a second because Y/n tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and bit her lips. Sirius had remarked that she was always doing this when she was tensed or very happy or stressed, well when she was feeling a strong emotion.

“Can I have a flower bouquet please?” he said as loud as a whisper. She nodded slightly; they were still staring at each other’s eyes. “Do you want something in particular?” Y/n was still flustered by the way he was looking at her. She didn’t know why today they acted like this, why they didn’t flirt and were barely talking; but she didn’t care, she liked this other form of proximity.

“Make me a bouquet with your favorite flowers, please” She went to the backroom as always and came back with white and purple flowers. “Lily’s breath.” She said pointing at a white plant “They’re my favorite.”

He stared at the flowers “I like them” obviously he wasn’t objective, he will love any plant that will be her favorite. He waited for her to finish the bouquet, she was putting her entire heart into it, she wanted it to be perfect. She placed a lilac ribbon around the craft paper and gave him the flowers.

He looked at it, it was beautiful. “I love it, you’re really talented.” His eyes glowed when they landed on the bouquet. But Y/n simply shrugged with a small smile “That’s my job.” He was tapping again on the counter, the rings making noises as they touched the wood “Well you’re the best at it.” He chuckled when her cheeks went red from the compliment, she quickly changed the subject.

“Do you need something else Sirius?” he seemed to hesitate before answering “If it is not inappropriate” Y/n’s heart was racing as he spoke, “Can I have your work schedule?” Okay, now her heart was sprinting like it never did. She tried her best to hide her blush and rapid pulse “Yes sure!”

Sirius heard her looking in her locker in the backroom, she came back with a paper in her hand that she lifted in the air “Got it!” she handed him the timetable. He folded it and put it in his pocket. “Well, see you tomorrow Y/n darling” he sent her a final wink before leaving.

Y/n watched him until she couldn’t anymore. She was smiling during the last hour of work, bouncing everywhere. When they were no one anymore, she checked the last things she had to check behind the bar, dancing on the ball of her feet and chewing on her pen. She finished her day by closing the flower shop, excited to be the next day.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

The day after, Y/n had to wait the entire day before Sirius dared show up, she was hoping it was him every time the bell ringed. She started to think that he’ll never come. She was disappointed, she hadn’t seen him in the entire day and he said that he’ll come today.

When they were no one left, she turned off the lights and stepped out of the shop to close it. But when she set foot outside she jumped as she saw a tattooed man with long black hair. “Oh, God! I didn’t see you were there!”

He laughed “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” He put his hand on her shoulder, scratching the back of his neck with the other, Y/n shivered at the feeling. “It’s fine, don’t worry” he put his other hand on her other shoulder to face her completely.

He took a deep breath before talking “Would you like to go on a date with me? Tonight? To the restaurant?” her eyes widened at his proposition, she smiled so much it hurt. “Of course! I- I would love to!” He smiled as much as her “Really? Come with me then, darling” he held out his hand and she took it without hesitation. Y/n looked at Sirius, pure joy could be seen on her face.

They walked together in the streets, the summer breeze kissing their faces as they spoke. They finally stop in front of an Italian restaurant. Once they were installed and sat on the booths face to face, they started talking “Sirius you never told me where you were working.” He chuckled before answering “You see the record shop at like twenty minutes from your job? I work there.” She stopped drinking the wine she was holding, nearly choking on it, and put it on the table “You’ve never told me! I already bought things from there! But- I’ve never seen you…”

Sirius shook his head “Yep, it’s normal, I started working there two months ago.” Y/n let out an ‘oh right’ at the same time their food was served “Also I start and finish my days earlier than you.”

They ate dinner, smiling, joking, and flirting. Sirius saw that she was still tucking strands of hair and biting her lip a lot. He loved the way she was looking at him, she was happy. Y/n was melting every time he was giving her that smirk.

After finishing their food, they got out of the restaurant. The night had fallen, and the air was colder, Sirius saw Y/n shivered, she didn’t have a sweater or something warm, “Here” he took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders. She tried to stop him; she didn’t want Sirius to be cold but he shook his head.

“Oh also, as the gentleman that I am I bring you back home lady.” She blushed thinking about what could happen next but quickly stopped her thoughts. “O- Okay, it’s that way.” She showed the way with a head movement, The young woman guided him through the night streets, and they held hands again, she was tired and had her head against Sirius’ shoulder.

“This is here.”  She pointed her appartement with her finger, she was flustered and her mind was drowning in ideas of what could happen then. She, trembling, gave him his jacket “No, no, keep it, it looks better on you” he put his hands on her hers.

Silence. They didn’t talk, said anything, just stared at each other, eyes lost in the other’s look. Sirius slowly caressed her cheek with his finger, they didn’t even realize but they were closer now. She could feel his breath against her, she unconsciously had her arms around his shoulders, the jacket falling to the ground.

Their lips finally touched, they tried to be as close as possible, hands playing with hair, parkouring the waists and hips. He tasted like mint and cigarettes, she tasted like honey and violets. They parted away, looking at each other with smiles on their lips, Y/n leaned again. They kissed like this they couldn’t know how many times, before they broke their embrace.

“Woah, I liked this” Sirius said tucking a strand of hair behind Y/n’s ear and pecking her lips one more time. She giggled her hands on his chest. “I should go…” he informed her, he didn’t want to rush things with her, he had girls for one night but he wanted her to be different; it still shattered a little his heart when she looked disappointed like this, a pout on her face a small ‘okay’ fell from her lips.

They said goodbye and Y/n wait for Sirius to be out of her view to head up to her flat. She was so happy from the past minutes; she was still giggling like an idiot. That is something that her coworker didn’t miss to let her know the next day at the shop, saying that she looked like 'a teenager who had her first kiss last night'

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

A day after, Sirius was waiting for her when she closed the flower boutique. He took her in his arms warmly “It’s so good to see you Y/n” she let herself embrace like this, enjoying the feeling of his hands against her back. “Does a cinema date sound good to you, honey?” she nodded energetically “Sounds perfect”

They walked to the movie theater and talked “And you, where do you live?” she asked him “Oh well not far from here but I have a roommate so… His name is Remus, he’s my best friend. I bet you’ll get along, his love is endless for chocolate, coffee, and books.” Y/n raised her eyebrows “Ooh, you might have competition” but Sirius shook his head “No, I’m way cooler than him” She busted into laughter, letting escape a ‘okay, okay’.

“You should meet my friends; they already love you.” She lifted her head, eyes widen “You- you told them about me?” Sirius wrapped his arm around her waist “Of course I told them about my girl!” Y/n was smiling as she looked at him, my girl, she was his girl.

“But anyway, you would also love James, that man is so funny, your stomach hurts at the end you know?” she listened to him rant about how incredible his friends were, telling her about Harry, James and Lily’s son who he was proudly the godfather of. He told her about the unbreakable couple that Marlene and Dorcas were “The bouquet was for Dorcas because Marlene messed up a little, but when we went to their house so she could apologize, she was already forgiven! I had to leave; they were eating each other’s faces!” he faked gag. She found sweet the way he was proud of his friends, “They seem to be adorable people”

Sirius felt relieved “Do- do you want to meet them one day? It’s important for me, I mean you’ll never have to meet my family because they are assholes so, um… my friends are like my second family- Gosh it sounds so cheesy and I’m talking to you about (not) meeting my family at the second date” Y/n laughed at the way he was starting to get lost in his throughs “Hey! It’s fine I understand. You’ll never have to meet my family either.”

He titled his head, she took it as an invitation to open up a little “My parents wanted me to become a doctor or lawyer or I don’t know, something like that. I mean, my dad failed his studies so I guess he was reporting his professional ambition on me. They weren’t happy when I told them I’ll open this flower shop and after a big argument at a family dinner I stopped talking to them.” She realized that she maybe said too much “Sorry, I didn’t mean to talk like this” but Sirius reassured her.

“Oh, also don’t worry, it’s not cheesy, I actually find sweet the way you talk about them and I’m happy that you have such good friends you can rely on.” She told him. Y/n and Sirius continued to talk about relationships, Sirius was surprised when she told him that she didn’t have any friends except her best friend who was living in another country. With the end of university and the opening of her shop taking all her time, she hadn’t got any to make some new friends. After this, they quickly arrived at the cinema.

Sirius let Y/n choose what they were going to watch “A rom-com, really?” she chuckled and shrugged her shoulders “Sure! It’s going to be fun, don’t worry.” He sighed “You lose points you know?” Y/n simply laughed at him “Nope. You love me too much.”

They sat in the middle of the room, an overpriced popcorn in their hands. Sirius hated to admit it but the movie was not so bad, he even enjoyed it a little. But Y/n was more focused on his hand on her thigh than the film in front of them.

After this they ate a sandwich, Y/n was too tired to go to a real restaurant and had to wait. They ate them as they walk to her apartment. But this time Sirius went upstairs with her. His lips were on hers as soon as they closed her door and their clothes were quickly discarded on the floor.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

In the morning, they woke up in each other’s arms, their legs tangled. The sunbeams embraced their faces through the curtains. Sirius tucked a strand of hair behind Y/n’s ear and kissed her temple “Good morning darling” he had his morning voice, hoarse and deep. “Hello, Siri”.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck. “We both have a day off today, what do you think about doing nothing and just staying there?” she wrapped her arms around his shoulders “Here laying down naked?” he laughed against her hair “I was more thinking about staying at your flat and watching movies but why not.”

She lifted her head “Sounds good to me.” They stayed a few minutes like this, Y/n’s fingers tracing Sirius’ tattoos and he tried to peck her but she pulled him away “Ew, not now. Morning breath.” He laughed “I don’t care just come here” he attired her against him and she placed her lips on his. “See? That’s even you who started the kiss.” She was making a disgusted expression “Yes and I was right, it tasted horrible.”

They got up, brushed their teeth to have a proper kiss and dressed. They also cooked pancakes, well they tried to “Sirius! Turned off the hotplates!” he turned the boutons as he could, both of them being too much for the small space of her kitchen “Hey! That’s you who let them cook for too long!” They ended up eating burned pancakes with the rest of confiture that was staying in her fridge. “You’re horrible at cooking Y/n” she nodded “Yep! Takeaways are my saviors”

The rest of the day was kind of the same, they danced to ABBA (yes Sirius forced her) and other artists after a full hour of them. They played board games but Sirius ended up pouting because he was losing at everything. At the end of the day, they watched a movie, until both of them couldn’t resist: let’s just say that they don’t know of the film ended.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ

It’s now been a month since Y/n and Sirius started dating. That night, she was finally meeting his friends. Y/n was stressed and he tried to relax her a bit “Hey, they already love you, you don’t have to worry, just be yourself!” She stopped in front of a vitrine as they walked to Sirius’ flat, “Do I look good?” he wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder “Of course you do honey.”

They were now in front of his door, her heart was racing, she could hear chatting inside the apartment, everyone must already be there. She took a deep breath as Sirius slide the key into the lock.

She saw everyone lifting their heads to look at her, at least she already knew his home, she went sometimes when Remus wasn’t there, and she recognized Marlene. She was sitting on the couch, the legs of another girl on her lap, Y/n thought that it must be Dorcas. As her eyes traveled the room, she saw a ginger girl next to a black-haired boy with glasses, she identified them as Lily and James. And lastly, her gaze landed on a tall man with light brown hair, it only could be Sirius’ roommate, Remus.

She waved at everyone and smiled shyly. Sirius dragged her through the room, she took a seat next to him on the other couch. She was sitting between him and Lily. She saluted everyone, God, she was so stressed.

Hopefully they knew how put Y/n at ease, James and Remus didn’t hesitate before telling her embarrassing anecdotes about Sirius “Prongs stop!” he complained, “I swear he was covered in dirt! He couldn’t stop falling, we tried to help-” Remus interrupted James “But we were laughing so we didn’t”

Y/n was laughing so hard, she was crying, it maybe was the fifth story they told her about. Sirius preferred to go in the kitchen so he didn’t have to listen to these.

When he couldn’t hear them anymore, Marlene got closer to Y/n “It’s great that you are together! You seem to be a good person.” She hugged her tightly, Y/n was going to hug her back when Sirius called her “Y/n! Can you help me please?”

She joined him in the kitchen “I really like your friends, they are cool” he chuckled “They make fun of me obviously they are cool.” She punched his shoulder lightly “Noo, they love you it’s cute” They finished preparing the dinner and headed back to the living room.

After they ate, they continued to talk for hours, Y/n talking about flowers and their meaning with Lily and Remus, she talked about music and clothes with Dorcas and Marlene and telling stupid jokes with James and Sirius.

At the end of the night, when Y/n was in the bathroom, Sirius’ friends approached him “She’s cute, I like her” said Marlene, “Yeah! And she’s funny!” added James. “Even more than that, she’s a great girl” remarked Remus. Sirius smiled; he was glad they got along.

They all got back to their house, Remus went to his room and Sirius and Y/n laid in Sirius’ bed after changing and brushing their teeth. Y/n was exhausted, she put her head on his shoulder and fell asleep after a quick ‘good night’. Sirius looked down at her, wrapped his arm around her waist, and kissed her forehead.

“I’m so lucky to have you.”

“Oi, Evans, wait!”

Lily groaned as the bespectacled boy jogged towards her. Not this again she thought to herself. Despite her less than happy expression, James smiled kindly towards her. She nodded to him hoping that he would carry on and say whatever he had approached her for.

“Would you want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?” Lily noticed that he was fumbling with his sleeve as he asked, and could tell that he was nervous. His anxiousness made her feel a bit bad about what she was to say next.

“James I-” She started, her lips pursing into a frown, but James already knew what she was going to say.

James smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck with his hand. “It’s no worries,” Lily avoided eye contact with him, as he began to walk away. “Just let me know if you change your mind.” James said as he continued down the corridor.

-

“Lily, I honestly don’t know what you’re on about. James asks you out every chance he gets,” Marlene said, glaring at the redhead as she plopped down onto her bed, “you just never accept his offers.”

Lily looked to Mary for help, but had little luck as Mary silently agreed with Marlene. The three had just come back from dinner and were painting each other’s nails.

“Why are we even talking about this, Mary was asking you about Dorcas. What does that have to do with James and I?” Lily pulled her hand away from Mary, smudging the nail that Mary was painting.

“So you agree that there is something going on between you and James?” Mary questioned, ignoring the fact that Lily had ruined the work that she had been doing for the last twenty minutes. Marlene laughed, noticing the flush on Lily’s face.

“We all saw you two today before potions, don’t be coy!” Marlene egged on. Lily got up from her position on the floor, rolling her eyes while doing so.

“I don’t know how many times that I have to tell you that James isn’t into me. Neither of you will ever get it. A guy like him wouldn’t want to date someone like me.” Mary glanced at Marlene, the air in the room starting to become a bit tense. Lily cleared her throat, hoping that neither of the girls across from her would press further.

Mary and Marlene were not unfamiliar to Lily’s harsh demeanor. At this point, they knew Lily like the back of their hands. They knew what she meant when she said “someone like me”. It was far too often the two consoled Lily when she cried to them about a cruel comment that someone had made to her about her weight.

Although Lily had been dealing with these comments all throughout her sixteen years of life, her insecurities only grew as she became a teenager. It was quite difficult for her to not compare herself to her thinner classmates, regardless of how much it hurt to think about.

“You are beautiful Lils,” Lily looked at Mary as she spoke, awaiting the rest of her sentence, but was met without any other words.

Marlene and Mary’s affection towards her was something that Lily had to get used to at first. Lily had never been comfortable with people complimenting her physical appearance because of the conditions that usually accompanied the compliment.

Nearly every compliment that Lily could remember was backhanded, until she had met her two best friends. Whether it was her aunt congratulating her on losing some amount of weight or the uncomfortable, “You’re pretty for a big girl.” Regardless of how hard she tried, the comments about her body never seemed to cease.

“Mary is right, Lily, you are stunning. You don’t have to go on a date with James, but give him some credit. He’s not a total arse.” Marlene said, trying to deescalate the situation.

Lily nodded, but even their kind words couldn’t soothe her anxiety. She looked toward the clock on her side table and noticed the time.

“I have to go. Head Girl duties call.” Lily quickly grabbed the robe on her bed, bringing it along in case she got cold while making her rounds. Marlene and Mary flashed sympathetic smiles at the redhead as she left the dorm, knowing she would have to go face James.

-

Surprisingly, James was waiting for her when Lily reached the bottom of the steps. Lily held back a laugh, noticing him struggling to attach his “Head Boy” pin onto his uniform. You would think someone as smart as James could figure out a simple pin.

“Let me help you,” Lily said, breaking James out of his deep concentration. He looked at her with appreciation before handing the gold pin her way.

Lily tugged the front of his robes slightly before attaching the pin onto it. She hummed in satisfaction before pulling away from him. As she pulled away she noticed James was staring at her quite intensely.

Lily flushed as they made eye contact. She couldn’t deny that James was attractive, but she didn’t let herself dwell on it.

“We should probably get going, I don’t want to be out all night.” Lily stated firmly starting to head out into the corridor, James following close behind her.

As the two walked around the castle, Lily distanced herself from James. She honestly did not want to deal with any awkward conversation. At this point, she had brushed James off far too many times to count, and it made her unbelievably anxious to have to do it again.

Just as they had turned the corner towards the middle courtyard, the pair heard a loud boom near the transfiguration classroom.

“Oh great, just what I need right now,” Lily thought to herself as she and James headed into the classroom. Just as they walked into the room, the door shut behind them quite forcefully. There had seemed to be no one in the room besides the two of them. The brunet grabbed the handle of the door quickly, realizing that it was stuck.

“You don’t happen to have your wand… do you?” The boy looked towards Lily with a concerned look on his face.

Lily patted the pocket of her robe before realizing that this was in fact not her robes, but rather Marlene’s. She huffed out a breath of air. “You would think I would notice the size difference” Lily silently cursed at herself before looking towards a confused James.

“This isn’t my robe, I must have grabbed Marlene’s before I left. Why don’t you have your wand? Kind of irresponsible, no?” Lily scolded, hoping that he was messing with her about not having his wand. After her conversation with Marlene and Mary, Lily was not feeling her best, and it became very apparent to James as she bit her nails anxiously.

“Hey, you also forgot your wand, but you don’t see me complaining.” James was joking, but when he looked at Lily once more, he noticed that her eyes were watering. “I’m just kidding, Lily, are you alright?”

Lily frowned at the brunet’s apology, she couldn’t stand him acting like he cared so deeply for her. The two were barely even acquaintances, and she didn’t feel like explaining all of her anxiety quirks to someone she hardly knew.

“Please don’t do that. Don’t act like you care.” Lily said forcefully, meeting eyes with the brown-eyed boy. The two had now moved away from the door and were sitting on the floor near the wall opposite to the door.

Once more, James looked at the redhead in confusion. He racked his brain to think about every interaction he had with Lily that day, before it dawned on him.

“Is this about me asking you out? I never meant to make you uncomfortable- you see I thought Hogsmeade could even be a group thing. Remus and Sirius would also come- wait I guess they’re a couple, but it doesn’t have to be a double date… you could bring Mary-” James went on, his cheeks a soft pink, before Lily cut him off.

“Listen, James, I don’t know if you get some sort of kick out of asking me out, but whatever angle you’re playing at I’d rather not be a part of it,” Lily was visibly distraught now, her jaw was clenched and a single tear was rolling down her cheek. For what felt like the hundredth time, James looked to her in genuine confusion.

James had nothing to say, and as he stared at her mouth ajar, she started up again.

“You could have at least picked a better joke. Asking out the fat girl is so overdone. I didn’t think that you of all people would be so awful,”

Lily was really crying now. “Marlene told me that you were sweeter than before, and I really gave you the benefit of the doubt...but here we are and you’re still laughing at me!” Lily didn’t mean to blow up at James, but at this point they had been stuck in the classroom for what had felt like hours.

Lily wrapped her arms around herself, her head hanging down. She knew that James was staring at her, but she couldn’t find it in herself to care. Maybe now he’ll leave me alone.

Both of the Gryffindors were quiet for a long minute before James decided to break the silence.

“Lily, I don’t know what I’ve said to make you think that I’m joking, but I promise you I’m not. I get it if you don’t want to go out with me, but I just need you to know that I would never ask you out as a joke. Why would you think that?”

Lily finally pulled her head up and looked at James. His brow was furrowed and the expression on his face was unreadable. She took a breath, calming herself down.

“What do you mean, James? I mean look at me.”

There it was. That feeling. It was unavoidable at this point. All of the insecurity that Lily had shoved down was threatening to spill out. It was infrequent that Lily really confronted her self-image, but her conversation with James forced everything to surface.

James could almost see the gears in Lily’s head turning, it was very obvious that she was thinking hard about something. He sighed, not wanting to press her further.

“Lily, I don’t know what happened to make you think that I was joking, but I would truly be honored to take you out.” James said cautiously. He couldn’t tell if this would upset her further. Lily was looking at him in speculation, but at some point she had stopped crying.

She was looking at him, not speaking, almost as if to tell him to keep going. For months she had thought James was playing some cruel prank on her, but they were alone now. There wasn’t some audience to laugh at her if she told James how she felt. And even if he was joking, the pair were by themselves, and Lily could deny accepting James' invitation for a date to anyone that James would tell.

As she looked at him, she noticed that James genuinely seemed horrified at her accusation against him. If she wasn’t completely sure that James was being sincere, she would not have said another word, but for whatever reason, Lily trusted James.

“I’m sorry for yelling at you,” Lily was sorry, “I don’t know what it is. There’s just something about someone like you wanting to go out with someone like me that seems… off.”

James frowned. He wasn’t oblivious to what Lily was talking about, but he really couldn’t understand why Lily was insecure. There weren't enough words to describe the beauty that Lily emitted.

“Lily, you’re the smartest person I know-”

“That’s what everyone says, James.” Lily laughed softly, watching James squirm at her words. She knew that he was nervous, but it was funny to see him care so much.

“Oh, so you do want me to be mean to you?” James’ tone was serious, but there was a lighthearted look in his eyes.

Lily rolled her eyes, “Haha, very funny. I don’t even think you could be mean to me. I think the last time I saw someone this nervous was when Marlene tried out for quidditch during second year.” The two laughed, James nudging Lily with his arm playfully.

As their laughter died down, James remarked, “Enough with the jokes, though. You’re actually the most beautiful person I’ve ever met,” Even after he was met with a glare from Lily, he continued. “You’ve been crying and you still look lovely, Lily.”

Lily sighed. First Mary and Marlene, now him? Lily felt embarrassed, but James was still staring at her, and adoringly at that. The soft rouge tint that marked his cheeks was still prominent.

“Well, you’re cute when you’re nervous,” Lily retorted, smiling as James flushed a deeper shade of red, “But I’m sure you get that often.”

James hummed, “Blimey, I don’t think anyone has seen me as nervous as I am right now, honest.” Lily apologized once more for assuming the worst in him.

The two small talked for a long while after that, simply basking in each other’s presence. James learned about Lily’s family, and Lily learned about what it was like at the Potter’s residence. Something about their dynamic felt natural.

Their conversation was halted as someone opened the door. There, standing in pajamas, was a distraught looking Mary and an annoyed Professor Mcgonagall.

Mary started, “There you are! You were gone for nearly two hours. After a while, I thought I should go check on you.”

“That’s enough, Ms. Macdonald,” Professor Mcgonagall said, “What were you two even doing in here?”

Before Lily could start to explain, James cut her off. “We were making our rounds down the corridor, when there was a loud noise coming from the classroom. When we walked in here, the door was jammed and neither of us had our wands.”

Mcgonagall looked skeptical at their story, but decided not to press the issue any further. With a gesture of her hand, the three Gryffindors started walking towards the common room.

Mary immediately went up to bed, exhausted from worrying about her best friend. Meanwhile, James and Lily had to have a quick word with Mcgonagall.

The Professor commented briskly, “Next time, please make sure you have your wand on you. You two are Head Boy and Girl after all.” Noting the nod of approval from the two teenagers, Mcgonagall went off to bed.

The pair walked into the common room, both exhausted. In spite of their tiredness, the two were radiant.

“Goodnight, Lily. I hope you sleep well.” Lily smiled, mumbling a quiet, “Goodnight James,” as she made her way up the dormitory steps.

As Lily settled into bed, she thought to herself, Maybe James would get that date after all.
