Old memories (One-Shot)
Summary: Albus and Minerva reminisce in old memories and realize just how much Harry and Ginny are like James and Lily. (Potter's and they're red heads am I right? Hehehehehehe :)
Notes: Takes place during Harry's 6th year ( or Ginny's 5th year) aka the Half Blood Prince. Honestly, I don't feel like the characters are too OOC this time or there at least more on point!
Characters: Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Minerva Mcgonnagal, Albus Dumbledore, Lily Potter, and James Potter.
Warning(s): Mostly just fluff and a bit of angst/bittersweetness since James and Lily are dead. This makes me sense when you read it.

Author's POV
It was a bright sunny day at Hogwarts. It was particularly unusual due to Who-must-no- wait that's not his name, his name is Voldemort and as Hermione Granger says “Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.” I'm not one to narrate while writing a story or for you to narrate while reading a story. But to me I've always loved stories with a narrating author or character. I've always felt that the best stories have had author narrations no matter if it's a book or a movie. I might be a bit impartial due to the fact that my favorite show started with a good narration but you know what that doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Anyways, let's get back to the actual story, not the story of my life.
As I was saying before I started rambling on, it was a bright sunny day at Hogwarts, it was a bit unusual due to Voldemort's gloom ever since he's been back. But as you know today wasn't one of those days, today was one of the good ones. Where everything seemed to be better and you could almost forget he was back. Well, almost for Harry Potter. It seems in his case, he's looking over his shoulder waiting for the day he will strike. Again with the gloom, this story on the other hand is supposed to be a happy one like when the Prince and the Princess live happily ever after. Sadly, this story isn't a fairy tale but the happy couple of this story will eventually have a happily ever after. But on this day all Harry Potter's worries are put to a halt and he does have his taste of happily ever after. Especially since a certain Redhead is with him.
In View was a boy with messy black hair with emerald green eyes alongside a girl with flaming red hair with chocolate brown eyes holding hands happily laughing together and enjoying their time together.
The couple came to a halt once the girl with fiery red hair said something "You know I've always loved this spot. The girl said, looking at the beautiful tree. She moved over to touch it admiring the beauty of it. The boy smiled at her and said "The tree is beautiful but of course not as beautiful and stunning as you." The girl blushed a deep red just like her auburn hair, she looked to the side for a split second and then back at the boy. The boy had a slight blush on his face as well. He smiled softly at her.
"You know Harry, it's no fair how much you can make me blush!" The girl said to Harry.
Harry smirked for a second while the girl smiled mischievously. She must have had some bright idea with a face like that. She stepped closer looking as if she was leaning in to kiss him but instead she used her other hand and grabbed his glasses.
"Hey, Ginny that's no fair!" Harry said, trying to reach out but she had stepped away and without his glasses Harry was blind as a bat. Ginny snickered as she waved his glasses for about a minute.
"What are you going to do Harry, hmmm?" Ginny said playfully but little did she know after going in circles he turned around he could see the blur of her red hair. Harry smirked as he ran up to Ginny and twirled her around and grabbed his glasses from her hands. After he put his glasses back on he continued to hold onto her waste and tickle her stomach. "How does it feel, hmm Gin?" Harry teased, as Ginny said "H-h-harry p-please i-im s-so s-sorry." Ginny managed to get out while laughing. She let out a squeal as Harry tickled her side which was the most sensitive area. Harry leaned on Ginny's ear and whispered "How doesn't it feel Gin?" "Not good!" She let out. Harry finally stopped, to Ginny's pleasure, they both looked at each other and burst out laughing. Harry went back to holding Ginny around the waist as they settled down and took in the peaceful breeze.
As this was happening Albus Dumbledore watched out the hall window from afar, "Albus what are you doing?" Minerva asked, walking up to the headmaster. "I just realized how much they look like Lily and James." The headmaster said to his colleague. Minerva studied the pair and said "Yes, I guess they are. This brings back old memories." Minerva said with a small bittersweet smile on her face.
"It reminds me of the time when Lily and James first kissed. It was October 14th of their 7th year they were by that very tree. Because they were Prefects they had started to get a bit better or Lily wasn't yelling at James for his crazy antics 24 hours of the 7 days of the week. Anyways, I remember there had been a nice breeze and fall colors all around, there was a certain feeling about that day that was somewhat warm even though it was fall and it was cold. Perhaps it was the fact that day Lily and James got together and shared their first kiss. Lily wasn't as cheerful as usual, her red hair wasn't as vibrant, her cheeks had less of rose to it, and her pep had been nothing of any sorts. But James had other plans that day he knew what just to do to cheer her up." Dumbledore listened intently, 'I think I remember hearing whisper or rumors that James kissed Lily and they were finally together'
"James asked Lily 'Follow me' 'Why?' 'I'm going to cheer you up!' And of course he had signature smirk plastered on his face as usually normally it would mean trouble but this time it was far from it. Minerva paused, smiling as she thought of what happened next. "He had managed to walk over to the tree and started tickling her, she couldn't resist. After a few moments she started laughing her head off. She smiled like there was no tomorrow and all her worries just vanished. They're laughter slowed down and James leaned and kissed her and the rest is history. Minerva smiled to herself remembering the old memory so long ago but so close at the same time.
"And how do you know so much about what happened?" Album asked raising his eyebrow.
"Well, Albus everyone was talking about it for at least a month and do you really think I don't know a single rumor about my lions?" Minerva said swiftly with a sly smile that quickly turned back to a warm smile watching the couple outside.
"Of course."
Minerva was quite for a few moments and then spoke up and said "I miss them Albus I wish Voldemort never got to them and Harry had his parents,"
"Me too, Minerva, I miss them. Harry deserves his parents but as fate has it doesn't always mean that's why you get."
"That's very true, they'd be proud."
"They would." Albus with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Is it just me or do Potter's have a thing for Redheads?"
Albus laughs softly and says "I believe I do." They both smile fondly leaving the blissful couple.
The End
Lily: Ok! I'm Lily, she/her, I am an aquarius, and there used to be this creepy af guy who was obsessed with me and followed me into an ice cream shop and stalked me for like six years, haha! I nominate Remus to introduce himself next. Wake up bitch!!
[Marauders Rule!] Prongs: oh shit Prongs: that was me Prongs: um Padfoot: ahaha knew it
Bounding down the stairs is a man. Not spotting me, he exclaims, “Effie! Effie! I did it! I’ve worked out when Rep TV will be announced and released! It’s going to be the—'' He stops and a slight gasp escapes from his mouth. “Lily?”
No.
I knew that voice.
But it couldn’t be.
No.
No.
“James,” I whispered. “How?”
“It was pretty simple, really. In the Karma music vid—”
“No,” I almost giggle. “How are you alive?”
Do you ship Jily or Jegulus?
Both! Mainly Jegulus but I don't mind reading about Jily bcs my brain is not rotted and i can understand that they are fictional characters and that being upset over a ship is ridiculous
Some people in the Marauders fandom (cough Jily shippers cough) need to stop forgetting that IT'S JUST FICTIONAL CHARACTERS! THEY DON'T EXIST! IT SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU WANT TO BULLY AND THREATHEN PEOPLE OVER IT. I hate saying "It's not that deep," but this time, it really isn't. Just stop fighting, ugh. I'm tired
HOW DO I GET JEGULUS OFF OF MY FEED? HOW? I’M HERE FOR WOLFSTAR AND SUNFLOWER AND DORLENE NOT JEGULUS PEASE HELP.
hey, i know google is free but jilyserrr here may not know how to use it! so im going to give everyone a definition, in case other people dont know how to use google as well.
“Headcanon is a word used in film/television/comics/etc fandom that refers to something a fan imagines about the characters (such as a scenario or relationship) but that doesn’t appear on screen/on the page.” (Merriam-Webster dictionary)
so, sure, lily and james were heterosexual-appearing in the books/films (their sexuality is never stated outright though, meaning they could be bisexual, pansexual, etc.), but fans HEADCANON that they were with other people. are you still following? we’re not saying that it’s true, it’s just a headcanon we have about the characters.
as for ‘justifying regulus being a fascist’? he escaped the c*lt. he was raised from the moment he was born on these ideologies. they were all he knew. even at school, his pureblood friends reinforced the ideas. and yet, somehow, on his own, he not only leaves the death eaters but betrays them in such a major way that allows them to be defeated. does that make sense? he CANONICALLY left and even turned on the fascists, proving he is not one.
finally, telling people they deserve to d*e over their little headcanons in their head is very fucking extreme, don’t you think? what if someone takes that seriously and actually self-exit? people are actually seriously mentally ill, and telling someone that they deserve to die - directly or not - is so unbelievably fucked up, ESPECIALLY over fictional characters in a fictional world.
moral of the story: if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Right time for some problematic shit cause I don’t even care anymore.
Im making this post about a certain post some else made. It’s at the bottom.
So idek if this is problematic but idc cause this person is crazy. First I’m gonna start of with the fact that they said they hate the marauders fandom. Okay? Why r u still here? If you hate it and its ships and head cannons leave. It will be a better place without you.
Secondly I’m gonna say that jegulus is a fictional ship that people made up cause they wanted to. If u have a problem with it block the tag and leave it at that. There is no need to make a post about it knowing people who ship Jegulus r gonna see it. It’s weird and obsessive. Also the fact that some people also don’t understand the meaning of alternate universes is crazy. We aren’t justifying fascist Regulus we are using his character and the small amount of information we have about him to create our own stories.
Also like I said once I’m gonna say it again. If you hate peoples head cannons LEAVE. If people wanna ship marylily and pandalily or partyvan OR WHATEVER SHIP THEY WANT TO LET THEM! It’s none of your fucking business.
And last I’m gonna address the elephant in the room. The fact that you literally said people deserve to die for ruining the fandom. That is just a crazy thing to say and no one deserves to die. This is a fictional world. Also let me remind you JK Rowling is a horrible person so let us have our own head cannons.
Ship Jily idc. Ship Jegulus idc. Ship prongsfoot or Partyvan or fucking bitch killer IDC.
GROW UP AND JUST LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.

Summary - Wolfstar and Jily go to a pride parade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remus grabbed his phone blearily, pressing random buttons to make the annoying ringing shut off. It took him a few minutes, but he finally realized that the sound he was hearing was their doorbell. He waited a few seconds, hoping that whoever was ringing the doorbell would leave and let him go back to cuddling his boyfriend in peace. Alas, they began banging on the door harder.
Remus untangled himself from Sirius begrudgingly and dragged his feet to the door of their apartment. He opened the door and was assaulted by a tall stack of rainbows bags.
"Happy Pride Month!" Lily's voice cheered under the bags of rainbow flags and stickers, and who knows what else.
"Cheers mate," James grinned, holding his own pile of pride merchandise.
Before Remus could digest the sight in front of him, a tired Sirius draped himself over his shoulder. "What's going on?" He asked, yawning.
"Happy pride month Sirius," Lily gushed, walking in and dropping her purchases on the couch. "James and I decided this year we are going to celebrate pride with you! We bought a ton of stuff, and don't give me any of that 'You shouldn't have spent all this money' crap." She looked at Remus pointedly. "The shop we bought it at is donating all the money earned during June to an organization that helps LGBTQ+ youth."
Sirius turned to James for an explanation. "We're going to a Pride Parade, mate," James summarised.
Sirius's eyes brightened. "I've seen those! Those are those muggle festivals that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, right? I've always wanted to go to one of those. Mother forbid me, of course, says I've soiled the black name enough." He looked at Remus hopefully, "We are going, right?"
Remus glanced at the expecting grins on his friends' faces. He smiled, "Can't exactly say no, now can I?"
Turns out, Lily had bought a lot more merch than he had expected. Sirius practically forced him to wear a pink, purple and blue t-shirt captioned, 'I'm not gay, but my boyfriend is'.
Sirius chose a rainbow t-shirt that said, 'I'm the gay cousin'. He paired this with his leather miniskirt and fishnets that showed off his legs in a way that wasn't good for Remus's heart.
But the star of the shows was definitely James. His t-shirt said, 'I ain't never seen two pretty best friends, always one of them got to be gay and dating their other best friend'.
They hung the flags from the balconies and decorated the rest of the apartment.
"I feel like a bi power ranger," Remus commented, squirming as Lily drew a flag on his cheek.
"Remus, I swear to god if you don't sit still until I finish, this I will make you wear the 'I put the Bi in Bitch' t-shirt," Lily threatened.
"Embrace the rainbow!" Sirius yelled to the wind as the breeze snatched his flag and floated away with it.
The parade was near their apartment, so the four made their way, chatting animatedly about how wolfstar had comeout.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucius approached the marauders at the Gryffindor table during dinner, wrinkling his nose at Sirius. "Is it true, Black?" He asked loudly, catching the attention of the whole hall. "Are you really one of those disgusting homos?"
"Why are you asking?" Sirius asked casually, his devilish grin never fading. "Interested?"
Lucius spluttered incoherent words, flushing red in embarrassment.
"Sorry," Sirius ran a hand through his hair, looking regretful, "My standards aren't as low as Narcissa's."
"So is it true you were snogging Lupin behind the greenhouses?" Another voice piped up.
"Well, I dunno about that," Sirius replied playfully. "But I did kiss him in the middle of the great hall."
A loud gasp flew across the room.
"When?" Another voice called out.
Sirius pulled Remus towards him by the collar, "Right now."
Sirius leaned closer, and his lips met Remus's. They had, in fact, kissed behind the greenhouses, but that was nothing compared to the electric buzz of kissing Remus in front of the whole school, showing off his amazing boyfriend. He could feel the burning glares of his family as he deepened the kiss. He will get a howler about this soon. But none of it mattered at Remu's arms looped around his neck, and his hands found home at Remus's waist.
Remus leaned into the kiss, savouring the comfort that was Sirius Black. Sirius felt like Butterbeer and Roasted nuts and a warm sweater on a cold November evening. He was lost in the haze of the moment, and the whole hall of whooping wolf-whistles and disapproving looks disappeared into black.
Now here they were, after overcoming all the trials thrown at them, attending a pride parade together with the most amazing friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The parade was full of cheering people, loud music, floats and dancers and drag queens. Everywhere you looked, you saw a plethora of rainbows and smiling people.
'Born this way' started playing from a speaker somewhere. At the sight of so many happy couples, a sudden burst of adrenaline zapped through him. Remus grabbed Sirius and pulled him into a less busy corner.
He looked at his partner's beautiful face, framed by his dark hair. Remus had been planning on doing this at a more private location, but something about the moment felt perfect.
"Sirius," Remus smiled gently, bringing his hand to his boyfriend's cheek, caressing his face. "We've known each other since we were 11, and I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with you. You made me laugh when I was at my worst. You were willing to be with me even after seeing all my fears and insecurities. You have cared for me in a way I never thought possible. You helped me see the light even in my darkest moments. You are my best friend, my lover, my confidante and my home. That's why," Remus got down on one knee, pulling out a ring, "Sirius Orion Black, will you make me the happiest man in the world by marrying me?"
"Moony," Sirius tears dripped down his face, "You absolute jackass." Remus looked confused until Sirius pulled out a black ring box from his pocket. "I was going to propose to you, you asshole! James was going to help me! I was going to have this whole romantic speech prepared!"
"So, is that a yes?"
Sirius threw his hands around his fiancé, "Yes, you ass. A million times yes."
They slid the rings onto each other's finger. They kissed slowly, drinking in the other, enjoying the feeling of being in love.
Someone cleared their throat, drawing the attention of the two men.
"Why do I always find you two making out," James grumbled, cuddling into Lily. "Get a roo-" His eyes fell to the rings. He stared at them in shock.
Lily broke the silence, "So who proposed first?"
"Remus, surprisingly." Sirius held out his hand to show off the ring. Lily was about to peer closer when she heard James sniffing.
"What's with you?" She asked incredulously.
"Lils... My best mate is going to get married. MY BEST MATE IS GOING TO GET MARRIED TO MY OTHER BEST MATE!" James began brawling loudly. A few people glanced their way but turned away, smiling as they saw the two men hold each other close, laughing at their friend. Anyone could tell. They were in love.
Damn that last line got me but it's true
i find it strange that it’s a huge headcanon in the fandom that lily and james ‘rushed’ into marriage just because james got lily pregnant like.. c’mon.
they both knew they wanted to get married before they even had sex, maybe two or three dates into their relationship. and it’s absolutely terrifying when you realise that the person you’re holding hands with really is the person you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with even though you’re only seventeen and being married isn’t something that has ever crossed your mind because there’s a war going on and you don’t know if you’re gonna even make it to twenty.
but yeah. yeahhh. that’s exactly what happened to james and lily potter. they found a soulmate, a life partner in one another, and they couldn’t wait to get married and do it all together; to share a vow and a future and a home, to live under one roof and be there for each other through it all, to become one and to grow together.
and they weren’t held back by the same struggles that usually hold back other pairs of lovers; they were financially stable, and they’d both completed their education and were in the same stages of their lives. nothing stood in their way. they were ready to get married the moment they’d left hogwarts.
so no, they didn’t rush. it wasn’t because of an unexpected baby or a war haunting them; they didn’t get married because they thought they were running out of time. they got married because they couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lifetimes together.
(they had no idea they were running out of time.)
James don’t look next to you there’s some white bitch trying to say they’re you

Obsessed with fics that are about Harry’s relationship with Lily. Like ok we get it, Harry looks like James and James was his father, but Lily was his mother. We need more fics where he longs for her like he longs for James. I want teachers comparing him to her saying how similar they are in certain ways, I want Sirius or Remus to tell him the the way he says things sometimes sounds like Lily, or the way that his eyes light up, or a specific face he pulls. I want fics that draw just as much attention to his similarities to Lily as they do to his similarities to James. They were both his parents and he missed out on a childhood with both of them, he should be just as curious about both.
what a cute couple i bet they shop at forever 21
