Lily had been surprised to find that James was everything she had ever dreamed of and more.

The following is the iTunes playlist created just a few minutes ago for Miss Lily. I highly recommend ALL of these songs, and if you'd like one or two, just message me and I'll zip it up and send it your way.

Lily pressed the doorbell without much thought of the years that had past since she had last seen the couple who lived here. Her eyes were distant and swollen from crying. Tears stained her cheeks and Lily wiped them, frantically as she watched the door, hoping vainly that it would open. The car was parked in the drive, surely they were home?

A fresh wave of grief wracked the redhead's form and she knocked a quick and curt beat on the wood of the door. "Tuney. Tuney, are you there? Please?"

The door opened in that moment and Lily nearly stumbled, blinded by her upset before she blinked it back and looked at the woman who had answered the door. She was thin and bony with platinum blonde hair and dark eyes and she was exactly who Lily wanted to see. The two women stared at one another for what seemed to Lily like ages; Petunia had set her jaw and was watching her younger sister as if she were something foul.

"You're supposed to be dead."

"Tuney. You don't know how good it is to see you."

Petunia softened only the tiniest bit. "What happened?"

"He doesn't love me. Harry ran away and...Oh, God. Petunia. I'm so tired."

"Petunia, who is it?" Vernon Dursely had wandered towards the door and when he caught sight of Lily his whole face twisted with annoyance. He opened his mouth to spit something rude but his wife cut him off.

She turned to her husband. "Vernon, make sure the guest room is ready. Lily is staying with us for a while."

Lily sobbed, gratefully and flung herself into Petunia's arms. The other woman resisted a moment before instincts as an older sister, instincts to protect and comfort took over. "Hush, hush. Lils. I won't let those nasty wizards hurt you anymore. It's okay, you're safe."

And the redhead didn't have it in her to object.

"Come now, I have tea..."

((Too perfect. Absolutely too perfect.))

((As per this.))

I've been given a kitten.



I found him outside of my door. His name is "Salazar". Isn't he the most precious thing you've ever seen?

Also? I may be going on Holiday.

Lily Potter was young (only twenty years old!) when she gave birth to a son on July 31, 1980. She was exhausted in mind and body alike, and she couldn’t think of anything that she would prefer more than taking the bundle of life that she had just brought into the world in her arms and napping a good long while. Her breathing was slowing and James alternated between pestering the nurses as they cleaned their son and crooning words of love and pride to his wife.

“He’s absolutely beautiful, Lils. Just wait til you get to see!” Lily muses that the glee in his voice can only be likened to a child on Christmas and she smiles, tiredly, finding that her voice doesn’t seem to want to work properly.

A nurse finally moves to Lily’s bedside with her new son in a bundle of blue blankets and settles the boy in his mother’s arms. The red-haired woman is suddenly aware of how tiny he is. His eyes are closed and Lily shifts him, gently, studying his miniature features.

There is wonderment on her face and she isn’t quite aware of James pulling up a chair beside her bed to watch his family as they bond.

He’s small with a bit of dark hair, and Lily muses that he must have got that from James’s side of the family. She whispers to her son how handsome he is and his breathing is smooth; he’s stopped crying, stopped fussing. It’s suddenly still.

The whole world stops as her son shifts and opens his eyes. Most infants have gray-blue eyes until their second year when the color sets itself, but her son’s eyes are green. They call to mind the emeralds that rise and fall for the Slytherin House to measure House points but Lily decides that even precious gemstones cannot compare to her son’s bright green eyes.

“He has your eyes.” She registers James’s voice and she smiles.

“He’s beautiful.”

James nodded. “He’s gonna do great things, Lils. He’s gonna change the world.”

“He already has.” Lily managed and the war outside melted away. She was happy and complete and had nothing to be afraid of in that moment.

I received a rather pleasant email notifcation:

I would just like to say "THANK YOU" with all sincerity. I really enjoy my interactions with you and with your Harry and you are just absolutely brilliant. Nothing says it better than a macro, though:



Pick a topic of your choice, won't you? I will write you a drabble in my gratitude. :D

From Son and Friend.

Comment with a topic of five things that never happened with your pup and me and I will write it out. Examples include:

Five lives Lily had with Severus
Five detentions Lily served
Five memories of Harry

and so on and so forth!

Hello there. I'm Nicole and I will be playing Lily Potter (nee Evans) from the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. I've applied for her at the prompt-community theatrical_muse, and I will be writing her prompts from her life experience up to, and including her death.

Role play, however, is completely different: Lily can be requested for role play at all stages of her life, and even after her life. That's right, if you want to role play with Lily after her death? She's available because this is RP and it's hardly bound to the rules of life. Also? It's Harry Potter.

'Nuff said.

I'm especially interested in RP with Lily's fellow schoolmates, Sirius (bigbadpadfoot) and Snape (the_iscariot). With the release of the final installment of the series (omgwtf?! Isn't that weird to think about?) and so much being revealed about Lily this journal is bound to have spoilers. They will be clearly marked and under a cut though. Comments I cannot account for.

You can email me at: specialsortofmagick@yahoo.com


Or! Drop me a line here if you're interested. I'm itching to play.
