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.❞

he stumbled over the surprise of her pursuit
remembering with some bitterness the nights
he’d lingered for hours outside the gryffindor common room
and he couldn’t bear to turn his chin and make sure she had truly followed
he knew she was there.
jaw tightening with annoyance at her question, he gave no immediate answer
instead relentlessly lengthening his stride to outpace her
“ perhaps your ‘head boy’ will know. …. why don’t you go ask him.  “
it would be nice to possess enough restraint to sound indifferent
but even at this small mention, pure dislike clearly dripped from each syllable, 
his voice a low hiss that managed to echo down the hall

the way he outpaced her only fueled her fire, making
her practically sprint to keep up with him and did not
discourage her advances. he enraged her but still, she
held a tender spot in her heart with his name on it. 
“seeing as james wants nothing to do with you, i doubt
it. besides, when have i been known to hand over my 
responsibilities to anyone, you’re assigned to me therefor,
i am responsible so i’d appreciate a direct answer thank 
you very much.”

his gaze felt heavy, disguising a quick survey of her frame
the only betrayal of discomfort a slight twitch beneath his eye,
he refused to linger a moment longer in her unearthly glow 
“ i was unaware you were taking notes on the subject of my whereabouts. “
words dismissive despite the painful twinge      
that twisted the center of his chest                   sev?
did she mean to play some cruel joke? 
he felt winded, and without sparing her another glance
severus made a move to leave
somehow determining he was more likely to find what he was seeking
in the dungeons, than her tense company

the slightest snide remark on his behalf was enough to 
tear a new wound into her soft heart, though she was careful
enough to hold her expression though she was fearful that 
the tears slowly pooling in her fiery eyes would be a dead giveaway.
as he stepped away, lily let out a short breath she didn’t know
she was holding, her feet following him though her heart objected
the involuntary reaction. she was a masochist after all.  ❝seeing
as i am headgirl it seems appropriate to know when and where 
the prefects assigned to me are stationed, now what are you doing here.❞

there was flicker of regret as her figure came into view
a flash of green meeting his eye sends his vision to 
catch some distant point down the corridor. a slight muscle
twitching within the line of his jaw.  ❝  of course you were. ❞
his words disdainful and stiff. although 
not quite so acidic as his usual tone.
realizing the pregnant, awkward pause he had created
his answer was hasty and regrettably childish  ❝  … i wasn’t hiding. ❞    

image


a lump rose and lodged itself in her throat as
his words hit her, the familiar sting that came
with his disdain digging further into the open
wound that their falling out left behind. she 
wanted to squirm yet she held back the instinct,
wary of granting him such a pleasure. ❝you
weren’t exactly in plain sight either, you 
startled me.❞ her chin rose, a meek sign of 
bravery coloring her expression upon facing her former friend. ❝geez sev. 
weren’t you supposed to be doing rounds later this 
week, i don’t recall having you down for tonight.❞

scvcrusx:

                 heading from the library towards the dungeons
 at the sound of steps around the corner, he took the opportunity to materialize from the shadows
         “ is there some reason … you’re out past curfew? “

image

lily took a startled step backwards as the boy came into view, 
her green eyes sparkling wildly as she caught a glimpse of his
familiar face. though the surprise didn’t fade, she managed
to compose herself, crossing her arms defensively as she
faced him head on. ❝i’ve got rounds, parkinson requested
a switch and i was happy to oblige. why are you hiding like that?❞
