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.❞

❝   you and james did a great job. and you look   stunning.   i think after all that work you deserve a night to celebrate, what do you think?  ❞

❝thank you, we definitely worked very hard. you clean up quite well yourself, sir. i could swear all these ladies are looking at my date with envy and i cannot blame them, i’m a lucky lady. i do think that’s a good idea, let’s have fun tonight. starting with punch? i’m sure by now someone must have added something interesting. i’ll be a cool head girl and look the other way for tonight.❞

– ❝  no. no– don’t even worry about it. … worth the wait.  ❞  he assures her, shaking his head dismissively of her apologies and extends his arm for her to take before setting off down the hall. it’s difficult not to steal glances, not only because she looks beautiful but her happiness is almost tangible. it’s all he wanted for her, really. and he finds himself content in her company.   ❝  —i’ve heard the lake is nice during the daytime.  ❞   he jokes in his lazy way. he’d wanted something simple, something where they could talk and be their easy selves. and it was rather funny  that it hearkened back to a time when she’d dragged him there somewhat unwillingly. patting his school bag filled with snacks and enough sandwiches to feed a small army, he continues.    ❝  and of course, food. as I’m guessing this would be extremely disappointing without at least a snack. — luckily, ames helped me make these cookies, as dubious as that sounds they’re very good. ❞

❝between you and me? FLATTERY will get you e v e r y w h e r e.❞ she laughs, latching onto his arm before stepping towards him and following him towards the lake, a soft smirk touching her lips as she too remembered their last encounter there. granted, she wasn’t the best influence. but she enjoyed pushing edgar out of his comfort zone. ❝by merlin, did EDGAR BONES really cook for me? you didn’t happen to burn down the kitchen now did you? as much as i appreciate the gesture i’m sure everyone else will be wanting a fresh cooked meal tonight.❞ lily teased, bumping her hip against his playfully. ❝next time i’ll bake you something. or rather i’ll find someone to help me bake something and present it to you because i’m equally as awful in the kitchen. i do appreciate the effort though.❞

– he hadn’t been waiting that long. really.  && yet his feet were moving at some incredible rate, pacing in front of the entrance to the head dormitories’ as though his life depended on it. several of the surrounding portraits had met eyes over his head, rolling them aggressively and tapping their feet impatiently whenever he turned yet another corner. while he had been quite pugnacious lately in his touting his determination for ‘light & breezy’ that didn’t mean old habits died any easier. he had hesitated short of knocking, figuring she would come down at her own time and pretending he wasn’t nervous. because such thoughts didn’t deserve energy. lily was fun. they were just having fun. and what could possibly nerve-wracking about that. at the slow sound of a door whining on its hinges, he turns quickly, gaze filling with some semblance of calm at the red head’s appearance.   ❝  — lils, you look nice  ❞   he starts, because she did. she always did. so serious. he has to make fun of himself. his stony look softening as a smile finds his lips  ❝  you ready— ?  ❞

EDGAR! sorry i took so long, i was having one of those particularly girly moments where i didn’t know what to wear. silly of me isn’t it?❞ lily chuckled softly as she stepped past the door to greet him, repeatedly smoothing down the front of her dress. VERY smooth. the girl couldn’t quite seem to smother out the nerves that plagued her from the moment the brunette had suggested they hang out for a while. it was obvious that this wasn’t just like any other occasion they’d meet in the halls and the implications behind the outing had her mind reeling ever since. but it was GOOD. she felt, NICE. HAPPY. F L A T T E R E D. she’d realized she quite enjoyed edgar’s attention and spending an evening with him was just what she needed. ❝definitely ready. so, what did you have in mind?❞ the redhead mused, glancing up at him as she tucked one of her loose curls behind her ear.

edgarbcncs:

–-  ❝  they are noticed and appreciated.  ❞  edgar assures her, studying her features curiously. he just had to be sure she was alright, not that she was giving much away. he was just … a worrier. ❝  good. I had a few ideas … but  are y’sure? you’re not seeing anyone?  ❞

image


GOOD. it feels nice to be appreciated.❞ a soft blush crept onto her cheeks as her smile grew wider. she could tell that he was worried about her and the thought warmed her heart, knowing that he cared about her as much as she cared about him only made her more inclined to accept his invitation. ❝i’d love to do something tonight, honest. i don’t want you to hear it from someone else but i sort of am? we’re not exclusive though, does that bother you at all?❞

edgarbcncs:

–-  ❝  it hasn’t been a complete waste.  ❞  edgar muses, mouth twitching upwards and for a moment his thoughts drifting elsewhere. he brushes her red hair from her shoulder  ❝  which reminds me, i still owe you, you know.  what are you doing later?  ❞

image


❝that’s definitely a relief. i’m glad to know my efforts aren’t going unnoticed.❞ lily watched as the boy brushed her hair away, quickly noticing how close they truly were. she welcomed it though, deciding it was necessary and she didn’t mind the attention he was giving her. she had to try. ❝nothing terribly interesting, why? did you have something in mind to repay me?❞

edgarbcncs:

–-  ❝  that’s good to hear.  ❞  edgar studies her carefully. just to make sure. he wants her to be okay. he’d had about enough of suffering and the way it was permeating everything lately. and the fact evan’s had gotten some spirit back was a good sign.  ❝  you know– the usual. my typical, un-fun self. back in top-form. what about you?  ❞ 

image


❝well now don’t say that, you know it’s been my life long desire to bring you out of that shell of yours. thought i was making progress too, what with the sneaking around after hours for cigarettes with yours truly, have my efforts gone to waste?❞ the girl teased, stepping towards him with a playful smile etched onto her soft lips. ❝i’m okay. trying to get my head sorted is all.❞

–-  ❝  ….lookin’ good, evans !  ❞  he calls out as he approaches, arms crossing over his chest and expression full of endearment.   ❝  you look more like yourself everyday.  ❞

❝took me a while but i’m definitely feeling a little bit more like myself. glad to know you’ve noticed. i’ve missed you around BONES, what have you been up to?❞ lily grinned, running her fingers through her hair as she stepped towards him.

he was supremely uncomfortable, luckily– or unluckily, he had quite the gift of sleep and found it easy to pass out nearly anywhere.  ❝  sure … sure.  ❞  he mutters, eyes closed and breath easing as her warmth brings some much needed comfort to his heavy chest, although to forces him to lay down completely. his hand hovers for a moment, mustering up the courage to rest in her soft curls. other arm reaching to rest over his eyes   ❝  just … not too long  ❞   he trails off, despite his assurances he had already claimed her pillow and slowed his breathing to almost nothing.

image

lily tried to fight off the tiredness that threatened to take hold of her consciousness but the warmth of the boy that now held her close made it impossible to truly put up a worthy fight. she didn’t WANT to sleep. she was terrified of the dreams that hid behind the darkness. but she couldn’t fight it any longer and somehow having a friend hold her close have her the slightest bit of courage that she had been missing in the past few days. ❝not too long i promise. just long enough that you’ll be well rested. ❞

–❝  … –i’m alright. pomfrey is a very good healer, so–good as new.  ❞   he smiles slightly, although he watches her expression carefully, worried that the news would prove to be overwhelming. but she remains steadfast and determined to his great relief. surprised by her request, he glances to the minimal space left at her side. half of him humoring her, and half of him exhausted he hesitates a moment before leaning to rest his elbow. half laying on his side with one foot still dangling off the edge.  ❝  alright, lils, but the second my head hits the pillow I’ll pass out so— better?  ❞   his eyelids grow heavy the moment he gets comfortable, as if he hasn’t taken a moment to himself since the first student’s screams. ❝  you too, come on  ❞ he beckons her to lay down as well, cheek held up purely by his fist

image


❝  good. you’ll be okay. we’re going to be okay.❞ the conviction behind her words was false but she was much to weak to muster up any other sort of comment. she just watched him crawl onto the bed beside her, a soft smile touching her lips as she watched him settle onto the bed even though he looked rather uncomfortable. the girl nodded, lowering herself onto the bed beside him, resting her cheek against his chest and wrapping her arm securely around his waist. ❝i’ll sleep if you stay and sleep too. just rest with me okay?❞ she lied, closing her eyes as if to continue the lie further. sleep was about as foreign to her lately as relief.

he sighs, glancing at her tight grip on his hand, her pleading expression and his chest aches. he didn’t want to be the bearer of bad news– to explain what had happened to her, to everyone really.    ❝ … –at hogsmeade there was… an attack. a few days ago. three, actually. ❞ he grimaces, glancing to meet her eye before finally sitting on the edge of her bed, expression grim and serious, yet his tone calm. ❝ a few people …. well a few people got hurt. but there weren’t any– …. any casualties. ❞  remembering the last time he had lied about his own injuries he winces, but lays a hand on his mostly healed shoulder, swallowing some of his pride.  ❝  i was… burned. but amelia, emmeline, james. they’re all okay. now, please, lils. … please lay down. ❞

image


❝three days ago? i was out for th-three days?❞ lily looked away, trying to search her scattered brain for the past three days she’d seemingly misplaced. it terrified her, knowing the extent of her injuries, how if they had gone just a tad bit further there could have been a big chance of lily never waking up. the girl suddenly got cold, real palpable fear overwhelming her senses. it wasn’t just her that was in pain. ❝you got burned? are you okay? are you feeling better? just… just lay down with me edgar. PLEASE.
