Anonymous asked: Am I alone in really really wanting to know who Lily’s friends were??? Who her best friend was??? Was her only bestie really Snape?? Did she get along with her dormmates?? Was there someone who was to her what Sirius was to James?? Was there a girl in her life who was so important to her she was or could have potentially been Harry’s godmother??? I’m sorry for bugging you with this but it’s 2 AM where I live and I was unceremoniously hit by Lily Evans feels
Noooo you aren’t alone!
Talk to me about Lily’s room mates, about them sitting together that first night and awkwardly introducing themselves until one of them blurts out how much they love the braid Lily is wearing and she beams and tells them about her older sister who “isn’t magical but can make the best hairstyles!” and they’re so excited they only settle down around 11z
Tell me about them messing around with make-up for the first time and getting it EVERYWHERE, Lily laughing as one of them manages to get nail polish on her nose and can’t get it off again because the other used a semi-permanent sticking charm.
Tell me about Lily crying because Petunia won’t answer her letters and the boys made fun of her when they saw she was upset and it’s the worst. Tell me about girls wrapping her up in a hug and taking her to the kitchens for hot chocolate and reassurances that it’ll be okay.
Tell me about getting their first periods and rolling around in pain and making up stories where they’re the heroine who is bleeding to death until “hey Mary do you have some more of those muggle painkillers”.
Tell me about her friends telling Lily that Snape is bad news, and she’s angry at them but at the same time grateful because she needed to hear that from someone else.
Tell me about the roommates noticing James teasing Lily all the time and rolling their eyes because, yeah, he didn’t mean it maliciously, but turning her skirt fluorescent pink was still a shitty move, and taking turns sending pinching hexes James’ way (and some Sirius’ as well because the boy did something to deserve it for sure). (Remus totally noticed but only smirks, so the girls decide they like him best, except for Mary, who thinks Peter is the cutest ever)
Tell me about girls consoling each other when family members die, when they lose friends and realize they’re not safe at all anymore, that there might come a point where they have to start distrusting each other, but today is not that day, and they need hugs.
Tell me about them being excited when James and Lily end up together, but do not hesitate to tell him that “if you hurt her I’ll kill you. We all will” - James’ eyes widen but then wraps them all in a group hug because “Lily’s mates are my mates”.
Tell me about Lily’s bridesmaids!!! Cute little matching dresses and endless hours of fitting and complaining and so much free champagne. Also cake?? “How about we just wear our school uniforms it’d be so hot” “NO, Emmi.”
Also hello, I know no one wants to hear this, but who do you think organized the funeral? Between Sirius being in Azkaban and Remus probably buried in self-hatred, it would have been organized by the Order or smth, so I bet Lily’s friends talked to McGonagall and they decided on the simple ceremony, with so many flowers, and all of them wore black robes but a lily in their hair.
