hopelessly hopeful
LILITH MARIE EVANS
Lily Evans
head girl

❝she was a beautiful dreamer. the kind of girl who kept her head in the clouds, loved above the
S T A R S and left regret beneath the EARTH she walked on.❞

         ❝ ahhh, it’s not spiked yet ?? forget it, ❞ he teased, adding a wink for emphasis. ❝ glad to see you’re here, miss evans — i was worried dumbledore might’ve gotten to your head, made you think HEAD GIRL had no place at a forbidden party like this. but what does albus know ?? it’s not a party without my dear lily evans. ❞

image

❝don’t fret, i’m sure they’re taking care of that as we speak.❞ lily laughed softly, bumping her hips against his playfully as her nose scrunched up in mock disgust. ❝ frank longbottom, bite your tongue! what albus doesn’t know won’t hurt him and we all needed this little shindig. how have you been love, miss me much?❞

“I think I’ve been very good recently. And that’s good to hear you could use the break I bet. Mind telling me when if you are going to switch back to dictator mode though, Lily? I think that I’d like to get through the year on my good streak.”

image


❝you’ve been tame which only makes me worry even more. what have you got going through that devious little brain of yours. i reject the idea that i was EVER a dictator, if anything i was a peaceful prime minister and you were the menace all along. but out of respect for our friendship i will give you a passing nod when my duties resume.❞

                   “ I’VE LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS, Y’KNOW ? ”   he looked at her properly, a loving spark visible in his dark eyes. “ and one of them … is that i’ve grown up way too fast. i’m serious. i’m officially an eighty year old man trapped in the body of a seventeen year old. ” he chuckled lightly to himself, placing his hands on both of her arms. “ seems like parties and i don’t mesh as well as we used to. ”

image

                               “ SO I’M GONNA STAY HERE WITH MY GIRL     … and silently hope that she tells me what’s wrong. ”

❝have you now?❞ lily craddled her arms gently against her chest, the heavy feeling that ached in her chest lessening more with each step james took towards her. he was in many ways her personal stash of morphine, all pain melted away with his presence. ❝that sounds like quite the dilemma. reckon they’ll have surgery to treat that? i can’t have an eighty year old possessing my boyfriend, i’m rather fond of the original. though between you and me, i’m much more keen on staying in with you than going through the formalities of a party. maybe i’m getting old too.❞ she laughed weakly, her shoulders finally relaxing as he set his palms against her cold skin. without saying much else, she closed the space between them and pulled him into a hug, her eyes fluttering shut as she slipped into her safe haven once more. 

image

❝i’m getting easy to read aren’t i?❞ her soft laugh muffled into his chest. ❝it’s just PETUNIA. she’s revoked my invitation to the wedding. guess that means i won’t be seeing you in a fancy suit anytime soon huh?❞

you’re much too kind, really. “ he shook his head and laughed with her, taking a wide-sweeping look around the room, and the full-swing party it held. this was an environment edgar felt at ease in, questionable beverages aside. see, and don’t we all want to be a little daring here and there? really, as fun as it is to knock something back that’ll burn a little and last a while, playing punch-roulette has its merits. it’s like a guessing game that gets harder the more things you try and guess. 

image

❝you’ve caught me on a relatively good evening edgar, count your blessings.❞ the girl teased, following his gaze as she took slow sips of her drink, quickly finding herself in need of a refill. ❝i’m always fair game for anything adventurous but for tonight i’m going to stick to the sidelines. if you want to take a whack at it though, be my guest! i’ll even coach you through those fleeting moments of despair when it seems like you just can’t take enough and your head or taste buds aren’t in the game. i’m just here to support you friend.❞

“that’s the BEST part – red, we need a bit of spontaneity in our lives–”

image

❝i’m all for the spontaneity of it all but i’m also not keen on blacking out this evening. maybe some other time but why go through the hassle when we’re only just getting back. ❞

I was, actually, thanks. “ edgar gave lily a wide smile, cocking an eyebrow before leaning down a touch. “ I figure it’s good to get one untreated cup in, so you can train your taste-buds to recognize what stolen liquor’s been put in it later. it’s like wine tasting but completely different. 

image

❝my pleasure, i’m always happy to help a fellow parched friend in need.❞ she laughed softly, nodding as she took a slow sip of the seemingly untainted punch. ❝that’s definitely an alternative approach, a sport for the daring. i prefer taking my poison directly from the source though, dipping into the pool of uncharted and unmentionable concoctions is just a little too far outside my comfort zone at present.❞

                          HE HAD BEEN SPEAKING TO OTHERS:     laughing and spouting off story after story. he was carefree. amused. but as a fellow lion spoke of his break, james was suddenly filled with an urge not of his own, dragging him toward the far end of the party. he saw her almost instantly, his expression softening as he studied her features. “ hey, ” he said softly. “ i was. and i’m thinking i might’ve found it. ”

❝AH well some might say trouble could be my middle name so yes indeed, you have.❞ the red head laughed softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. the trouble of finally being comfortable around someone was the ease with which emotions presented themselves involuntarily. ❝i’ve been scarce haven’t i? i’ll get back to the action in a bit, i just needed a minute to breathe.❞ she shrugged gently, her gaze meeting his as she took a step towards him, ❝i wouldn’t want to keep you from the fun, i already hogged you for the holidays.❞

“Head girl, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be off patrolling and stopping shenanigans?“

“You are a shame to your badge” @xo-lilithmarie

❝consider this my night off, i’m throwing my badge to the wind and painting the town red. unless this all gets out of hand and i have to scurry of to retrieve my title and shut this whole thing down. you’ll be good won’t you sirius? for my sake?❞ 

image



❝if you’re looking for the punch, it’s over by the far left corner but i’d be quick to get some if i were you, it’s likely to be spiked soon and as fond as i am of the odd drink or two, you never really know WHAT they’re lacing it with. better safe than sorry.❞

lily cleared her throat and quickly wiped away the few 
tears that roamed down her pale cheeks once she heard
someone walking up to her, a bright smile plastered poorly
upon her reddened lips ready to fool any bystander. luckily,
the familiar face she met allowed for her to relax slightly, her
shoulders falling visibly. ❝hey there stranger. what brings you
to this dimly lit corner, looking for some trouble?❞
