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.❞

ritaskcctcr:

 I can deliver. ❞ –especially if there was something in it for herself, she neglects to add.    but you’re certainly taking a turn, i thought you wanted to cause this sister of your’s some distress? –hm. well from what I can tell, a life without magic sounds awful. Difficult and mundane. it’s only forgivable because the poor things don’t know. but to know magic exists and still wanting to keep your distance? that’s the real tragedy. your sister is tragic.   ❞   she nods, her conclusions drawn.  ❝  well you won’t take me. –so we’ll just have to go with the next best thing. ❞ she purrs, full of tidbits of wisdom and agenda.   ❝  …. james potter, obviously. merlin– evan’s. what’s the hold up? ❞

❝i want to annoy her, not ruin her big day. afterall, she is my big sister after all.❞ lily shrugged, crossing her arms. there was a lot she couldn’t really place about rita but her obvious attraction to discord was something far too unsettling. ❝people fear what they can’t understand i suppose. the only thing she wants is to have a nice day so she can go off on her honeymoon. a minor inconvenience at my hand shouldn’t cause too much harm.❞ lily’s smile soon turned into a frown, her eyes alert. ❝POTTER? he and i are just friends. besides i’m sure he has better things to do than come to a wedding with me. and there is no hold up, like i said. we’re just friends. really good friends. ❞

ritaskcctcr:

 good. a tough skin is a wonderful quality, really sets my poor writer’s heart a flutter. and the readers? well… you already know. you’re a pro.  ❞  she winks, gently flicking one long tendril of red hair from the other girl’s cheek.     —they sound atrociously boring. which should honestly be a cardinal sin. i suppose that counts as one point against you. but you know what will really set your sister off– a truly, awful, yet deliciously handsome date. show her up properly. anyone come to mind, hm? because i think I have quite a few suggestions   ❞  she smiles thinly, feigning innocence as she presses her chin into her hand, the quill in her other hand tapping relentlessly against the slope of her hip.

❝hm compliments, i must say that’s rather unexpected.❞  lily shot her a tight smile before pulling her hair back into a loose bun, her brows arching upwards as she eyed the blonde before her.  ❝they’re as muggle as they come, doesn’t mean they’re necessarily boring. it’s just a way of life. ‘tuny chose it and i’m happy she at least found someone that makes her happy, even if i don’t personally like him. a date? and who, pray tell, did you have in mind?❞

ritaskcctcr:

 … if you’re referring to feelings, i should tell you they are highly overrated and certainly not something i would make life decisions based on. don’t tell me I’ve gone && hurt your feelings, sweets. i thoughtt you were better than that.  ❞  her pout disguises a wicked smile that tugs at the edges of her mouth     —you underestimate my ability to make things interesting, evans. as big a drag as you dear old sister sounds– are you quite certain you’re related? –no matter. what sort of idiot doesn’t want a little ‘magic’ on their big day?   ❞

image


❝oh i wouldn’t go that far, it takes more than some silly comment to get to me. you know better skeeter, you’ve spent enough of your life stalking me for entertainment purposes, you know i’m not that sensitive.❞ lily rolled her eyes, biting back her bitter comments.  ❝me, underestimate you? i’d be foolish to do such a thing. she’s just a traditionalist and so is her husband-to-be.❞

ritaskcctcr:

❝  … it’s not so much suffering as it is… adding some spice to the mix. is anyone actually getting hurt? no…. whatever. people can take it however they like. impressed is just… the ideal. so… thanks.  ❞  she’s actually struck silent by this, an honest compliment. and not the sort that was full of fluff, but it was real. she wishes she could hate her for it….    —&& well… that’s probably because you’ve never been in want of it. I can tell you a little bit about craving attention…. not from personal experience mind you– but it can be quite maddening. but– by all means, show up to her big day with a new piercing. && invite me– i love a good cat fight. especially when I’m not in it.  ❞

image


❝actually i think people ARE getting hurt, hence my metaphor but in a certain sense it’s also smart to learn to deal with negativity. you’re welcome skeeter, happy to inflate your ego.❞ lily offered the girl a tight smile, her brows furrowed in confusion though she masked the expression quickly replacing it with a softer grin. ❝sounds fruitless in more ways than i can begin to explain. i plan on getting it done soon enough, probably on our next visit to hogsmeade. as for the invitation, i think my sister would much prefer that the muggle to wizard ratio remain as is. it wouldn’t interest you much anyways, after a predictable look of disdain she’d more than likely just go back to her everyday routine of ignoring my existence.❞

ritaskcctcr:

❝  no? not even a little? well that’s disappointing, evans. i mean– not to say I probably won’t spin it that way, people have a hard time resisting a little self-destruction…. you know what– I’ll just let you be surprised.  —&& you know, i can’t really speak for the whole sister thing, but i can only imagine someone stealing my spotlight constantly would drive me mad. let me guess, she’s the pretty one?  ❞ 

image


❝how comforting to know that one way or another you’ll find a way to spin my life into some rendition of dante’s inferno. you’re one of the few reliable things in this school rita, if i wasn’t so appalled with your desire to see people suffer i might be impressed. she’s definitely gorgeous but i wouldn’t say i’m stealing her spotlight. she’s never really had competition i don’t require attention whereas she craves it.❞

❝  evans. you’re supposed to let me know when you’re having a mental breakdown. how else will it be recorded properly? i mean– i’m not discouraging you. please pierce your nose. & dye that hair of your’s while you’re at it.  ❞ 

image


❝it’s not a mental breakdown skeeter, it’s an accessory. a cute one too, just a tiny hoop. i think it would look quite nice and if it happens to bother my sister i can’t complain.❞
