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.❞

in days that had long since past, sirius would have dreaded the sight of that vibrant red hair and the perfectly polished emblem pinned to her uniform. even now, his first reaction whenever they cross paths was to act as if he were innocent of whatever crimes that she may have suspected him of. for the lily evans that everyone knew had spent the last two years as a model prefect, surprising absolutely no one when she was promoted to the oh-so prestigious position of head. the shock value was only added in when the news broke about who would be her counterpart. that person being james, his fellow marauder and known partner in crime. the pair of them had always been thick as thieves and only recently had james dulled down his antics in facade of maturity. it was all very dull in his personal opinion, but he did try being supportive.

his initial instinct to panic was quickly forgotten when he caught the look that she was giving him. that look was one that he’d take credit for inventing, if given the chance. there was a troublesome look about her, only made much worse by the very recognisable item sticking out from behind her ear. sirius was unable to mask the self satisfied smirk that stretched across his lips as he finally made sense of what was happening. over the course of the previous school term, the number of times that he had found himself in trouble was significantly less than years prior. only now did he realise the real reasoning behind this. he’d wanted to think that it was because age had made him far more inconspicuous. however, that was a statement so far fetched that he actually laughed about it.

the real reason that he was getting off scot-free was simply because he wasn’t being turned in. back when his detentions had frequent enough to be considered an extracurricular activity, the vast majority of his write ups had been from one particular source. not that he could place too much of the blame on her, really. if the tables had been turned and she were the one being outright malicious to people he considered his friends, there would’ve been hell to pay. they’d both grown since then, and even though sirius hadn’t changed much in his opinions, he was rarely mischievous with vicious intent anymore. maybe that had led to an unspoken agreement between the pair of them. as long as sirius wasn’t being a bully, then lily would take a page from the same book remus had and leave him to his own devices.

“better than alright, i’d say.“ he smiled broader still, the corners of his eyes wrinkling with amusement. at first, the hug took him even longer to process than he change in attitude toward him. after just a moment though, he had his arms wrapped around her in return. it was quite natural and although sirius wouldn’t admit it, comforting in a way he didn’t know that he needed. “come now, dear lily. it’s only been a few days and you think i’m already up to no good?“

his words only made her melodious laugh return, the ginger haired girl pulling away from the embrace only far enough to shoot him a teasing look of disapproval. any less from you and i’d be worried. what was it this time then? poking fun at the first years? charming mrs. norris so that every time she meow’s she turns different colors? i’m sure filch would have a hoot with that bit. lily tousled his hair playfully, finally breaking free from their embrace and fetching her cigarette once more.

there were very few people she felt comfortable enough smoking around, the list was actually narrowed down to three of her closest friends, marlene, remus (on the odd occasion) and sirius. it was a nasty habit, she was well aware but in many ways it was the only thing that relieved her of the stress that bottled up within her, pressing against her chest until she could hardly breathe. little did her friends know her habit had taken a turn for the worse over the last couple of months and she was now blowing through two or three packs a week. 

before it was always a matter of her meaningless quarrels or prefects duties that drove her towards her stash of cigs carefully tucked under her robes but lately she just needed to smoke to get through each day, the crushing sadness of her father’s absence making it difficult to even breathe. of course no one had any clue as to what was going on with her and she was confident enough to presume that sirius would be none the wiser so she placed the cigarette between her pink lips and lit it, letting out a soft sigh of relief once she inhaled the wispy smoke. 

so what the bloody hell is it with your disappearing act? i haven’t heard from you in quite some time and i can’t say im too happy about that. i heard from ja-potter that you had been in egypt. do tell how was that experience? you didn’t tear down any pyramids with your reckless nonsense did you, muggles are rather fond of those.❞
