Molly?!

The only older girl lily could turn to. Little does she know...

The loveable Lily evans, a young girl attending hogwarts in 1972, friends with pureblood Molly Prewitt, was currently panicking.

it seems that the gryffindor courage has left her right now, but any gryffindor girl woud've had her courage drained when met with the sight that was before Lily right now.

the poor girl had gotten up to use the bathroom at about one in the morning according to the clock on Lily's nightstand, when in the dim light created by a candle on the wall revealed Lily's underwear, a typical pink and blue floral pattern was stained crimson with lily's blood.

Lily had no clue what to do, all she knew was her period had just started for the first time ever in her 12 years of life.

Lily would've rather not gotten her period in the dead of night but, she did and now she had to figure out what to do. not wanting to bother her teachers who were obviously sound asleep in their own personal chambers, the only thought she could think of that might help would be to wake Molly in the 5th year girls dorms and ask her to help.

Lily thought to herself and considered the likelyness of Molly being able to help her. She was older, a girl as well, likely knew more about periods than Lily did, had things to handle the blood with, and was nearby, and just a short hallway down from Lily.

So as silently as she could, the young redhead made her way down the hallway. The 5th year door creaked but Lily was silent, she tiptoed into the room toward Molly's bed, the second to the left. She knew this was Molly's because on the nightstand next to it lay two knitting needles and a bundle of yarn that quietly continued knitting a scarf.

"Molly? Molly! Wake up," Lily whisper yelled at the ginger. Molly stirred awake quickly and saw the second year she loved like a sister.

"Lily? What the bloody hell are you doing awake? Come on, cuddle up and we can go back to bed." Molly said lifting the blankets up, inviting Lily to climb underneath

"About that molls, i need your help, i just got my period for the first time and i haven't the slightest idea what to do," Lily explained her voice warbling ever so slightly from her emotions.

"Well why didn't you say so? Come on, I'll get you set right in no time love, then we can go back to bed and sleep in, tomorrow is saturday afterall" Molly said sitting up quickly and dragging Lily to the bathroom in the 5th year dormitory

As Molly and Lily entered the spacious bathroom Molly saw the back of Lily's nightgown

"Scourgify," she whispered making the blood vanish.

"Now, d'you know how to put a pad on?" Molly asked

"No," Lily said blushing a light shade of pink

"No problem lilyflower, i can show you, just give me a moment to get some clean underwear for you, ok" molly said exiting the bathroom,

Lily's dorm was far darker than the 5th year dorms, but that mattered not, since a whispered "accio lilys green underwear" and she had her hands on Lily's underwear without even needing to look.

"Right then," Molly said reentering the bathroom where Lily was still in the same spot molly left her, nervously playing with a small piece of her hair that had fallen out of its braid.

Molly squatted and got a pad from under the sink, and kneeled infront of Lily, who was sitting on the toilet.

"So, after you unwrap the pad like this, you peel it off the backing and stick it here like a sticker, then you take this bit of paper off the wings and fold them around so the pad stays in place as you're walking around, this one’s got two sets of wings since its meant for nighttime, other ones will usually only have one set of wings on them." Molly explained, showing Lily what she meant as she explained everything.

"So daytime ones are smaller?" Lily asked trading her bloodied underwear for the clean ones with the pad in.

"Yeah, the night ones are bigger since you're laying down and shifting in your sleep and sometimes while you sleep the blood can go further back than when you're awake," Molly said before apparating Lily's bloody underwear back to her dorm to let the house elves take care of them. Every girl knows the house elves are miracle workers at getting blood from their favorite garments when an unexpected surprise ends up leaving a stain.

"Go on and finish up here, I'll be waiting in my bed," Molly said letting Lily have a bit of privacy.

Molly sat on her bed and waited only a minute until Lily had emerged from the bathroom and walked to Molly's bed.

Molly drew the curtains and tied them closed, she then cast a silencing ward over her bed so as to not wake the other girls in the room from hers or Lily's obnoxious snoring. And finally tucked herself and Lily into bed with a whispered promise of a long talk tomorrow just to make sure Lily was well informed of any questions she may have had.

By the time breakfast came the next morning the girls were sleepily cuddled together when Molly's wand began glowing and acting as an alarm clock.

Molly woke up and cast her finishing spell and got Lily awake as well. When she untied her curtains and opened them her friends, Alice, Sadie, and Mary all looked at her bed and the extra person.

"Morning girls, I haven't missed breakfast have I?" Molly asked jokingly.

"No, but why is there a 2nd year in with us?" Mary asked pulling on her hoodie.

"oh, this is Lily. She's one of my closest friends and kind of like the little sister I never had. She's in with us because sometimes whether it's a nightmare or something else she'll come and cuddle with me to feel safe. Usually I can sneak her out before you wake up." Molly explained.

"oh, that's really sweet mols. Can we hang out today, like us four with Lily too?" Alice asked.

"I don't know girls, it depends if Lily's up for it, she had a bit of a rough night. She got her first period and didn't know what to do," Molly explained after Lily had gone to dress for the day.

"poor thing, if she's not up for walking around we can camp out up here in the tower and only go down for meals." Sadie said. Molly looked at Mary and Alice and they both nodded in agreeance.

"I'll ask her if she'd like to do that, and I think if you girls would like we can start being like big sisters to her. She doesn't really have anyone to lean on, she's so sweet but often ends up alone." Molly told

When Molly found Lily again she proposed the idea to the younger ginger and smiled when she gave an eccentric yes.

Through the day Lily became very close to Molly's friends and had a whole dorm of 5th year girls to look out for her.

Hope you enjoy ❤️

take it off || snily

Lily Evans laid on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. Sighing, she then rested up on her elbows, glancing at the time on the clock rested on her bedside table. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to sleep. She climbed out of bed, unable to sleep. She grabbed her pack of cigarettes and lighter, walking over to her window. She yanked it open, before perching up on the sill, lighting one up and taking a drag. She supposed that she was lucky that she’d made some friends, that she had a place to live. This was a start. 

She had been living in France until very recently, but she wasn’t from France. She had lived in a rather run-down, industrial area up until the age of eleven, from that point, her parents had packed both herself and her sister into a caravan and they’d moved to France. At that point, she’d receieved an acceptance letter to Beauxbatons whilst on the road. Obviously, it had been quite the surprise. She’d had the most beautiful education, and had very much wanted to continue her magical career out there. However, there had been an awful lot of tensions within the wizarding world as a whole. 

She had started working for the French governance, before they’d fired her a couple of years later for being a muggleborn. She’d then taken a muggle job for a while, trying desperately to claw her way back in. And then, recently, her parents were involved in a muggle motering accident. Her sister, Petunia, had already moved back to England. And so she’d had to deal with it all. As if it hadn’t been heartbreaking enough. She’d had friends, a life, but couldn’t have stayed there. She had wanted a fresh start, not quite realiisng just how much worse off that she’d be upon her return.

She took another drag of her cigarette, closing her eyes as she rested her head back against the wall. This wasn’t the easiest of situations, but she was going to have to make the most if it. She had no other choice. This was her life now. It felt like a shame, a massive shame. She was a talented witch, but no-one was to truly know that now. Her kind weren’t the ones in control, the ones in power. Although, everything was truly so corrupt now, it was hard to know exactly who was in charge.

//

The redhead hesitated, before then gracefully signing her name on the dotted line, sliding the contract back across the counter. At least the place was classy. Well, just about as classy as any adult establishment could be. The girl behind the counter then handed her a pack, “Look it over carefully, make sure you’re fully aware of all our rules and policies. Our boss doesn’t take lightly to those who don’t abide by them. You will be dancing, for the majority of the time, you may be given other duties. Our clientele are... important people, I’m sure that you’re aware of that.” Lily nodded, before glancing down at the extensive paperwork in her hands. They undoubtedly had their backs well covered.

She had been in a few days earlier to meet with the manager, Narcissa Malfoy, who was an acquaintance of her new friend Marlene McKinnon, one of the women that she was now living with. She’d taken a few magical pictures, had an interview; and now, here she was, signing her life away.

She supposed that she was lucky that she had her looks.

This was her clinging onto a job within the magical world, as embarrassing as that was to admit. This was a wizarding run business, afterall. 

She glanced around, eyeing the pdiums and stage nearby. Her heart was racing, and she felt nervous, truly nervous. She’d danced for a chunk of her childhood. And certainly wasn’t the clumsy oaf that she’d been for a while, until her hormones had kicked in, anymore. She had obviously been pretty enough to get the job. She’d been fairly desperate, in all honesty. Marlene had been reluctant to give her the details of the place, but she had done eventually, and now here she was. This wasn’t quite reflective of the lifestyle that she had been living, but as a muggelborn woman, there was very little else out for them. It wasn’t as if the muggle economy was in any better of a state, and they had their own issues. She would feel oppressed either way, unfortunately.

“Good luck, sweetheart. You’ll need it.”

“.... Thanks,” Lily responded slowly, before turning and making a move to walk out of there, very much needing a breath of fresh air. What the hell would her parents think? Fuck. She was just going to have to grin and bear it, because the money was good, and she’d bloody well need it to sustain any sort of bearable lifestyle that even so much as remotely resembled what she’d had before everything had started to crash and burn around her.

//

“You look beautiful.”

Lily turned from her mirrror, smiling appreciatively at Dorcas Meadowes, another of her new friends. The brunette walked into her bedroom, “Are you sure that you want to do this, Lily?”

“I have no other choice,” she laughed, shaking her head before moving to pick up her lipstick. “Anyway, I might even enjoy it, you never know.” She had completed a few days of... training with some of the more experienced girls. They were all beautiful. They were all good at what they did. It was tough competition, but the money really was good. She supposed that she’d been a little naieve as to think that it was just dancing. However, she’d cope with it. She’d find her... comfortable zone and remain within it. 

“I want you to know that... regardless of what our current laws state. You are worth more than this. You know that, don’t you?”

She was a tad taken aback by that, knowing that Doe only really meant well by it, despite the remark being a tad demeaning in itself. “I know that. I know that this isn’t a choice that I’ve taken lightly.” 

They were then joined by Marlene, who was going on a night out with a group of friends that Doe was also a part of. Lily had yet to really meet any of them though. This had all happened very quickly. A friend from Beauxbatons had introduced them at a bar, and she’d ended up living with them given that they’d needed a third housemate. It wasn’t as if an awful lot of time had passed since then, but they’d been so welcoming, and were definitely what had kept her there. She turned back to mirror, listening as the girls chatted, adjusting her curls before taking in her reflection. She closed her eyes for a moment, keeping as calm and collected as was possible. She had to make a good first impression, which was why she’d wanted to walk in there prepared. She was going to have to establish herself there, and quickly so, at that.

Just another day with a 2nd year little sister.

You're lucky you're cute.

The Christmas holidays approached quickly at Hogwarts, students were sent home to their families and those that chose to, stayed at Hogwarts with their friends and professors.

Lily and Molly being the only two Gryffindor girls to stay meant they got to share a bed together not only for warmth because the castle was bloody freezing. But they got to have midnight talks and Molly could give Lily advice on things like boys, or her period. Without judgement or worry of being overheard

Lily was always a comfort person for Molly and they often saw one another as sisters because Molly was also a huge comfort for Lily, who was still trying to learn the ins and outs of the wizarding world. Alone.

The young redhead who was well loved by her family was basically disowned in a split second when she got her Hogwarts letter. Her parents saw her as a freak and her sister was so jealous that she had grown to hate Lily just for her magic.

But Lily wasn't alone anymore. She had Molly and Molly had her. Already this year Molly had helped Lily with countless amounts of homework, a few nightmares, and her very first period at 1 am. Lily had helped Molly through a few rough nights as well, most specifically the night she and her boyfriend for 4 years had called it off because Molly refused to jeopardize her house's points to go off after curfew to do the testicle tango.

The morning before Christmas Eve, Molly had headed down to breakfast to catch up with a Slytherin friend of hers named Katie Mckennon. She had planned to take some food back up to Lily because the girl had gotten her period the evening prior and as she was still trying to get used to the change she had struggled to fall asleep and Molly didn't want to wake her when she was trying to get the rest she needed.

"... I swear Katie, it's like they just grew feet and walked off. And I loved that jumper too." Molly ranted. She had bought a dark green jumper and big fluffy green socks last year in the winter and they had recently gone missing.

"Molly, I think I found the feet that walked off with your jumper." Katie said. Molly turned around to find none other than Lily skipping in in a humongous dark green jumper, her comfiest lounge pants, an big fluffy green socks. She smiled at Molly who looked the girl up and down.

"morning Molly!" Lily chirped. Not only was she never this chipper on her period, but she was Never this chipper in the mornings either.

Molly raised an eyebrow and Lily immediately explained.

"I charmed the jumper to be warm so it'd help my cramps. And I woke up to get dressed and found my favorite comfy trousers, they've been missing for a week."

Molly sighed and smiled dragging the redhead into a cuddle.

"you're lucky you're cute. I was seething about my jumper going missing" Molly said

Lily shrugged and smiled her small hands covered by the overly long sleeves of the jumper.

"here lils, let me roll those sleeves up so you can actually hold on to you breakfast roll." Molly said grabbing Lily's hand and rolling the sleeves up enough where Lily could eat.

"I like the sleeves covering my hands." Lily stated refusing to let Molly roll the other sleeve up and committing to eating her breakfast one handed.

Katie chuckled, "little sisters are like that, but they're cute so they can get away with it"

"yes that can," Molly sighed watching Lily smile when she rolled the sleeve back down after she had finished eating.

The elder of the two smiled at her younger counterpart and the joy she got from the oversized sleeves. Lily loved when she would move her arms the sleeves would just flap. And she walked with her arms bent so she could have little sleeve paws. She looked so cozy and happy that Molly decided exactly what to surprise Lily with for Christmas.

Since Lily didn't have good family it was often that she'd not receive anything for holidays, not even a card. Molly found this out last year and made it her mission to make sure Lily had at least a little something for each holiday. Lily's favorite holiday was Valentine's because she loved when Molly would just hand her a rose blossom and smile when Lily arranged it in her hair. Christmas was a close second because ever since last year the girls spend the Christmas holiday getting to know even more about one another and really solidifying their friendship.

The next day was a Hogsmeade trip for students and professors who stayed for the holidays to buy gifts. All students who had stayed behind were allowed on this trip. Molly bundled herself up tightly and helped Lily with her own layers.

When they got to Hogsmeade Lily split off to walk with some of her friends in ravenclaw that had stayed behind leaving Molly to execute her Christmas shopping for the younger Gryffindor. She immediately went into the robes shop and looked for the display of jumpers and socks. She found a larger display than last year's and immediately found two of the same color In her size and a size smaller.

The sales lady smiled at her when she bought the jumpers and asked

"would you like these wrapped up dear?"

Molly nodded "Yes please,"

After she left with her wrapped parcels, she went to the candy shop, honey dukes, and bought the last box of pumpkin pasties they had and picked up a few other tidbits. Another parcel secured. When it was time to go back to the castle Molly had a collective seven parcels packed each with something for Lily, with the exception for the sweater she bought to match Lily.

When the next morning arrived, Lily went downstairs expecting to see one, maybe two parcels for her under the Gryffindor Christmas tree. Instead she saw Molly, waiting with a parcel in her hands bundled up in a red jumper that Lily couldn't read the writing on because the parcel Molly held was blocking it. Aside from that Lily saw the tree had a few more parcels under it than she expected.

"happy Christmas Lily" Molly smiled when her redhead came into view.

"happy Christmas Molly." Lily smiled?

"which parcel is for me?" Lily asked assuming she would've only received one. There is no way all of those could be hers.

"all of these. I may have bought some things for you because you're the best little sister a girl could've ever asked for even if you're not actually my sister." Molly smiled

Lily was floored but super excited. She started with the parcel Molly held. She tore the paper away from the box and opened it to reveal a red jumper and matching socks. The tag attached read 'for the cutest little jumper thief, now you have one to match me with'

Lily smiled and pulled the jumper on over her nightgown she then finally read the writing on Molly's jumper

Moonstone

Lily looked at her own jumper. Though the text was upside down she was able to read the golden embroidery.

Lilyflower

"thank you Molly!" Lily smiled wiping her wet eyes with the oversized sleeve of her new jumper.

"don't stop yet, there's more for you." Molly said handing Lily a second package. This one contained candy and sweets from honey dukes. Another package revealed a fluffy new blanket. It was huge and made of Lily approved material that was sensory friendly for said redhead. Molly then gave Lily a parcel that contained cute quill bags. The fifth parcel held a new leather crossbody bag for all of Lily's books. Her old one is looking rather dreadful so Molly got Lily a nice dragon leather one that had protective charms woven into it.

"thank you Molly! I love everything!" Lily smiled hopping about.

Molly smiled knowing her lilyflower was happy.

Lily didn't get Molly anything but she did do her best to make a card from the materials she had at her disposal.

It was neatly drawn with a Christmas tree on the front and the words happy Christmas under the drawing.

Molly I could have never asked for a better friend especially a friend who has accepted me as I am. I don't think you could possibly be mad at me for anything, I mean the other morning at breakfast you were seething about the jumper and yet you just smiled at me and pulled me into a cuddle. I love you Molly, you're the older sister I wish I had instead of the one I got. I hope your Christmas is as well as mine. Sincerely your lilyflower.

Molly's eyes welled with tears as she read the card.

"come on moonstone, let's cuddle on the sofa and relax," Lily said holding her new blanket out.

Molly joined the girl under the blanket and curled her body around Lily who smiled up at her and laid her head on Molly's shoulder. The two carried on a short conversation before they finally fell asleep on the sofa, protectively curled into one another.

Nothing else mattered, as long as Lily had Molly, and Molly had Lily, they could take on the world.

Hope you enjoy ❤️

Second mother

Sweet little lily gets her first period -marauders era au cannon divergent

Lily Evans was a loveable 4th year girl at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since she was heading off to her first year the week before she turned 11, her parents had never told her about the seven wonders of womanhood, and as far as she believed she’d only be getting taller. She was a late bloomer like her mother, so she wouldnt know anything was any different until she was around 14.  Especially since Hogwarts didnt offer a sex education class closest thing you’d get would be in magical biology which even then its more based on the genetics and systems of which are used during pregnancy and such, and it was only offered to 6th years and older. 

Her red hair stood up in all directions when she sat up in her bed that winter morning. She’d decided to spend the christmas holiday at Hogwarts since her parents were in romania studying dragons, plus she’d be in good company by padfoot, prongs, and moony, three of the four marauders. Wormtail, better known as Peter Pettigrew was at home with his family for christmas. Lily didn’t expect Sirius, James, or Remus to be awake before noon, so she would have time to shower before her day roaming around the castle with them. 

Nature on the other hand, had other plans for the fourth year. When she sat up in bed she felt squishy, like she’d spilled water on herself, but it was warm. She looked underneath the blanket covering her and nearly screamed, but instead of a scream she let out s surprised yelp and clamped the bedsheed down onto her lap tightly. 

What was underneath the blanket was startling to put it lightly. On her golden sheets and bright yellow nightgown, was a dark burgundy stain; blood. And to her it looked like a lot of it even if it wasn’t all blood. But she didn’t know this, atleast not yet. 

Surprisingly Sirius, and James were awake, Remus was still passed out since he’d recently had to deal with a full moon. To Lily’s dread they knocked on the door to the 4th year girls dormitory. 

“Lils baby! Are you awake?” James asked her through the door even though there was no one else in there he still made sure to knock just incase Lily was in any way indecent since Sirius accompanied him most of the time.

 

“Yes,” Lily said quietly 

“Can we come in?” Sirius asked 

“Yes,” the redhead answered once more. 

The boys opened the door and saw Lily sitting on her four poster, with the curtains open. Looking almost as if she’d been petrified, her skin was even paler and her freckles weren’t nearly as vibrant as usual on her skin. She shifted uncomfortably in the boys’ gazes, until Sirius broke the silence 

“Lily? Are you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” he asked 

“Really padfoot? We’re used to seeing ghosts! Its nothing new to see nearly headless nick roaming the tower,” James said, 

“Anyway, are you alright? It’s not dragonpox is it? Witch cold? Calico flu? How do you feel? Sniffly? Tired? Feverish? Have you bee-” Sirius was questioning frantically before being cut off by Lily’s frustrated shout, “I’M FINE,” 

This outburst brought the boys to silence and Lily nearly to tears. How could she be so mean as to shout at Sirius when all he was doing was trying to help. 

“I’m bleeding,” she added after a few moments of the boys stunned silence.  The boys immediately began worrying over her again asking where the blood was coming from, if she was coughing it up, the whole lot. Lily’s face turned red with embarrassment, as she finally decided to tell them. “If i tell you’d better not breathe a word of this to another soul or you’ll join the headless hunt before sir Nick,” Lily threatened. 

“Ok we solemnly swear to keep our mouths shut,” Sirius and James chorused. 

“Ok,” Lily breathed, “down…. there,”  Lily whispered to the boys 

“Lily baby, do you want me to take you to the hospital wing? I don’t think your supposed to be bleeding, like at all,” James asked. 

“Can you get my dressing gown love, then we can go, wanna walk Sirius?” Lily asked 

“Of course I do! I want to make sure you’re ok,” Sirius said giving her a hug. 

James wrapped the fluffy fabric around Lily and allowed her to put her arms in before she slipped out of bed, making sure to keep the golden sheets out of view from James and Sirius. 

They got to the hospital wing in record time since James had decided to try his hand at apparating, something they had all just learned about in charms. When they walked into the hospital wing Madame Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall were talking.  They walked in and Madame Pomfrey rushed over leaving Professor McGonagall sitting at her desk in the corner with tea. 

“Oh dear what happened now?” Madame Pomfrey questioned. 

“Lily’s bleeding,” James said and as a response Lily smacked him on the shoulder. 

Madame Pomfrey looked Lily over and her red face, and arms around her waist told her all she needed to know. 

“Come with me miss Evans, you two stay put,” Madame Pomfrey told escorting Lily towards the back of the infirmary. 

“Lily dear! Are you alright?” McGonagall asked, concerned for Lily. She’d known Lily’s mother Amber Evans from her days of attending Hogwarts, they’d been best friends both being gryffindor and very inteligent. By extension of this Lily aw McGonagall as a second mother because she’d known McGonagall since she was a baby. 

Madame Pomfrey gave a quick whisper to McGonagall and immediately McGonagall’s face softened. Before she could say a word Madame Pomfrey told 

“Minnie, if you want to help, James and Sirius are worried and curious, maybe give them a little run down,” 

Mcgonagall nodded, and started toward the boys while Lily was led into a small office. 

“You’ve started your menses haven’t you,” pomfrey asked the poor girl 

“I dont know! Mum never told me anything about menses,” Lily said 

 Good godric Amber,  pomfrey thought. 

“Right then, basically your menses; or period as everyone calls them now, is a process that prepares your body for pregnancy. The details are unnecessary since you’ll be taking wizarding biology soon, but each month as a result of not being pregnant, your body has to get rid of extra blood and tissue that was built up, ergo resulting in your bleeding. Take these, the instructions are on the side of the box. Oh and this is perfectly normal for a witch your age,” Madame Pomfrey explained showing Lily the box that contained pads. It was small and the label was blue. Madame Pomfrey directed Lily to her personal lavatory so Lily could sort herself out, and once Lily had emerged finally, Madame Pomfrey taught Lily the cleaning spell scourgify  doing Lily the favor of performing it on her bloody backside. 

Once Lily finally walked out to McGonagall and the boys she could see they looked horrorstricken and McGonagall was suppressing a laugh. 

“Ah there you are Lily, you two can head off now if you’d like, Lily, if you’d come with me for a moment,” McGonagall told.

Lily and McGonagall walked to her office and living quarters at the bottom of gryffindor tower, and once the thick wooden door had shut, Lily basically threw herself into McGonagall’s arms. 

Minerva happily pulled Lily up onto her lap after seating herself on the sofa nearby,

“How about i owl your mum, and she can come for today and the three of us can spend some time together,” Minerva suggested. 

“That’d be nice auntie Minnie ,” Lily said 

Minerva decided to let the informal name slide for today since the poor girl had already been through a lot and was more than likely an emotional wreck much like her mother is during times like this.  And once Amber had arrived through the floo in Minerva’s office the three witches shared chocolate frogs and happy, embarrassing stories from Amber and Minerva’s years boarding at Hogwarts.
