“There is such grace in the way you fight for what you want. Whether it’s a girl, a job, a grade, or a steady heart, it seems you always find a way. I’m so proud of you for that. Every time I look you in the eyes, there’s a confident voice in the back of my mind saying, “she’s gonna do great things.” Even when your blue eyes are filled with tears. Even when your heavy heart is filled with regret. I always know… she’s gonna be alright. I watch the way you push yourself into situations that make you better, even when you hate them. I watch as you try to take care of the people around you, even when you don’t know how to show them your soul. I see how you pick yourself up after every stressful relationship, every awkward social interaction, and every anxious moment. I see it all, and it warms my heart. Especially knowing how far you’ve come… how much spite you used to carry with you. I’m so proud of the way you’re trying to be kinder, more authentic, and more vulnerable. I know it’s hard for you, but you consistently power through. Never stop. Never stop loving people. Never stop believing in yourself. On those days when your anxious mind starts to deflate, just know that I’m here rooting for you. Keep sharpening your mind and keep softening your heart, and I promise there are good things on the horizon. Do it for you; do it for me. It’s us against the world.”
It’s been always the other way around; a James Potter who asks her out, who looks at her all the time, who’s jealous, who’s in love with her.
But what about a Lily Evans crazy in love with him?
Trying to find his presence around the common room, genuinely wondering where he could be because the place was too quiet and boring
cheering happily as he scores goals
gasping when he almost fall off his broom
asking for no one in particular on the bleachers “is he ok? Is he ok?” when he actually falls.
blushing when he gets way too close to read a parchment from her hand. ‘brilliant answer, Evans’
sleeping less, annoyed about her feelings because james is such an idiot sometimes
being actually tough on him in the Potion class when they were doing work together, because she blamed him for those sleepless nights. ‘i didn’t do anything wrong!“ ‘well you should have done in a different way! You don’t have to be stubborn and simply ignore my instruction, like you don’t even RESPECT the fact that I could be just as right as you are! You don’t even care that I care about this potion! You just do whatever it pleases you because you are an arrogant, prat, a show off, a fucking-’ ‘Miss Evans, what a sharp tongue’
and James reaching out to her after that class, looking quite regretful. ’Look, I respect you. I know how much you love Potions, how much you are brilliant on it and I never, EVER, doubt of you and…’ ‘james’ ’… If I offended you, I didn’t mean to. I was trying to HELP. That potion was great, the best I have ever done in my life because you were there, and you actually made me have the idea to put the essence in the boiled water because i thought it could help-’ she then just let him talk and talk, having an excuse to look at him and his lips and his hair falling in his eyes and the way he messes up the hair on the back of his head with those long fingers, wondering how would it be to be touched—-
she’s listening to all his thought, with a soft smile just thinking how cute he was
Lily opening a big smile when he walks in the room
Lily actually talking about James to her parents and realising how much she admires him because she could not stop talking about the things he could do
How annoyed and stressed she gets when they fight
How incredibly relaxed she feels in his arms and his kisses
How impatient she gets when he takes an eternity to touch her underneath her clothes because he respect her way too much for her own good
waking up by his side after dreaming he got killed by a death eater and filling him with tiny desperated kisses around his neck, face, shoulders, while his sleepy voice says “i’m ok, i’m here, it was just a nightmare’. and he smiles when felt her arms holding him tight, protecting him.
She’s literally protecting him during Order’s missions.
Almost dying for him countless time.
When she’s so worried about the pregnancy but relaxing a bit when reminding herself that James is the father.
Watching him playing with Harry and giving him food and just being a father
and when he yelled “it’s him! i’ll hold him off!” ready to die for her and their baby and actually dying…
