The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness.

“What have I got to do to get  you to go out with me, Lily?”
“I’ve already told you, Potter. You can’t do anything. I’m not going to change my mind.”
“I could have the House Elves bake you a cake, I could write ‘I Love Lily Evans’ in the sky! I’d do anything.”
“That’s all very flattering,” she said, an edge of annoyance creeping back into her voice. “But really, Potter, I promise you there isn’t—”
“I’d sing you a song. I’ll do it right here in the middle of Hogsmeade where everyone is watching. That’s it, I’ll serenade you.”
“James!” But it was already too late, his mouth was moving before she could even form the thought. 
Everyone on the streets stopped and turned to watch as James Potter made an absolute fool of himself, as he so often did in Lily’s presence. 
She lunged forwards, slapping a hand tightly over his mouth to silence him which she was surprised to find actually worked. Her lips formed into a small smile that she couldn’t help and slowly she pulled her hand back, revealing James’ pleased grin. 
“So you’ll go out with me then?” He asked, raising a wry brow in her direction. 
She stepped back, opening the space between them. “No,” she said finally, but with a bit of amusement. “Come on,” she turned around. “walk with me.”

“Evans,” he called breathlessly. The red-headed girl stopped and grumpily turned to his direction. “Would you go out with me on the next Hogsmeade-“
“How many times do I have to tell you that I will never date you, Potter?” She said, her hands on her hips. “I know I agreed to be civil with you but that doesn’t mean-“
“I wanna hang out as friends, Evans. There’s no harm in that, is there?”
“You mean just as friends?”
“Yes.”

02. When Sirius died, Remus couldn’t sleep for weeks. It made him realize he was all alone again. The transformation of that month was the worst since James’ death, and would’ve killed himself if it wasn’t for Tonks.

“After you left she cried for a week. Probably longer, only she didn’t want me to see.”

‘Ah, Potter. So you came.’‘You sent me a note, telling me to meet you after hours and bring my cloak with me. Of course I came. I had to find out who you are, and what you’ve done with Lily Evans.’

019. Harry’s first word was ‘Pafoo.’

quidditchistooasport:

It happened when Sirius walked into their kitchen one morning. Though James, Lily, and especially Sirius were proud of the eight-month-old, Lily was slightly disappointed. However, she wasn’t as disappointed as Ginny was many years later when James Sirius said ‘buddy ell’ after spending too much time around his godfather.
