like mother like son

One of my favorite scenes. And because this scene is a reunion after almost 18 years, *blows a kiss*

Teddy Remus Lupin

Teddy’s birth as seen by Lily, James and a very jealous Sirius

Sirius: I don’t like babies.

Lily: You almost died of happiness when you first held Harry. You even cried.

Sirius: *hissing* I did no such thing because I don’t like babies.

James: *grinning* Maybe it’s just this one baby Pads.

Sirius: Shut it, Prongs.

Lily: Another war baby, I hope his fate will be different.

James: It will be because this time the war will end, Lils.

Sirius: Tell me when it’s over.

James: You had begged to be there when Evans gave birth?

Sirius: I was young and stupid.

Lily: Aren’t you being a little bit too dramatic? You should be happy. It’s Remus for heaven’s sake.

Sirius: *sarcastically* I’m so happy that the love of my life is having a baby from my cousin’s daughter.

Lily: When you say it like that..

Sirius: *impatiently* Well, that’s how it is.

James: *excited* He is here and he looks like a handsome potato.

Lily: Oh this is weird.

Sirius: What is weird?

James: Let’s just say all those cousin marriages took it’s toll on your gene pool Pads.

Sirius: What the fuck are you talking about?

Lily: *quietly* He looks like you.

Sirius: You have got to be fucking kidding me.

James: Um, yeah, no.

Lily: Can I ask something? How will they know if he’s a werewolf or not?

Sirius: Full moon, there’s no other way to know. *pauses, stares at the baby* He really looks like me.

James: I think there’s another way.

Sirius: No, there i–

Lily: His hair is becoming ginger?

Sirius: *relieved* IS HE A METAMORPHMAGUS?

James: Apparently.

Sirius: It’s impossible to dislike him and I’m trying really hard.

Lily: Teddy.

Sirius: What?

Lily: His name is Teddy Remus.

James: *laughing* Oh, now that’s cheating. Harry James, Teddy Remus I mean, come on Moony.

Sirius: He always thought he couldn’t ever have a child because he wasn’t entitled to it being the monster he is. I tried to tell him maybe thousand times, look at his face.

Lily: You like Teddy, don’t you?

Sirius: Of course I like him, I love him even. Look at how Moony’s face lit up, I haven’t seen his eyes glow like that in years.

James: Now, he has a reason to survive.

Lily: Did Remus just apparate from the side of his new born baby and wife?

James: He did, where is he Pads?

Sirius: He’s at the Weasley cottage where Harry’s hiding.

James: He is scaring the living shit out of them.

Lily: *smiling* Ah, I missed excited Remus.

Remus hugs Harry.

James: *longingly* Hug him for us, too, Moony.

“You’ll be godfather?” he said as he released Harry. 

Lily: *starts crying* Merlin, Remus must you make me cry? 

James: *his hands in his hair* My son is the godfather of my best friend’s boy. I never knew I wanted this until this moment.

Sirius: *sadly* He will be a better godfather than I ever was.

James: Pads. we chose you. Me and Evans. We chose you because we knew you were perfect for it and you did everything you could.

Sirius: Yeah, I got myself locked up in Azkaban.

Lily: No one is blaming you for that, not us, not Harry.

James: Harry loved you even though you had two years together, you were his Paddy and he was your fawn. I wouldn’t have even dreamed of making another person the godfather of my first child.

Lily: *staring into distance* We were going to have enough kids for each one of you to become godfathers but you, you were the obvious first choice. You are James’ brother, please stop feeling guilty about this. 

James: *trying to cheer Sirius up* Let’s enjoy this moment mate, imagine how punk rock this kid would be.

Sirius: *softly smiling as he’s staring at his hands* Very.

Lily: Come on let’s just watch Remus before the dark times start again.

Sirius: Yeah, you are right. To Teddy Lupin then.

James & Lily: To Teddy Lupin.

“For the last time, Potter, this is not a date! I’m literally walking you to detention right now!”

JILYTOBER: — let’s show them we are

   we breathe in the air of this small town on our own cuttin’ class for the thrill of it getting drunk on the past we were livin’ in

JP + LE

james.

it’s first a crush. on his side, at least. 

stolen glances through the train compartment doors. grins widening as he sees a certain crimson-haired girl. tossing back good-natured comments every time those emerald eyes peer at him indecipherably. doodling tiny hearts with her name that mcgonagall looks at with raised eyebrows.

then ardor sets in.

carving their initials into the whomping willow right at the base during 5th year that no one will ever see. sending her little notes in class, folded into lilies. watching her open the surprise christmas gift from a mystery admirer and gasp in admiration as she clutches the tiny personalized necklace. evans, he nicknames her. potter, she remarks.

it blossoms into love.

people tease him. it’s infatuation, they say, you should go out with marlene instead. it’s not infatuation though. he knows there is much more. but he cannot walk its path unless he knows he has lily by his side.

lily.

she’s hated him since first year. a prick. arrogant, rude, cocky. certainly someone else will never like. ever since the very beginning.

she throws out insult after insult when he banters with her, smirking. giving him piercing glares when he tugs on her hair in class. stealing her books in third year. potter, she calls him. evans, he says back. hexing her friends on the quidditch pitch. she tells him to bugger off. he replies with a laugh and leaves.

but something becomes different. he changes.

and lily is happy. they are friends. he isn’t as boastful as before and he doesn’t hex people. they laugh and go to class together. they smile with all their friends in the gryffindor common room and share sweets on the way to hogwarts.

james and lily.

he helps her during finals week when she’s stressed. he is the one to make sure she eats properly and sleeps enough. he is the one to drape blankets over her at 12 am when she’s fallen asleep with textbooks on her face.

she helps him with homework all the time, even when he doesn’t need it. he just likes to see her and the same vice versa. she writes to him over summer and sends muggle movie recommendations. she goes to all his quidditch matches, sporting his number everywhere: on her shirt, on her cheek, on her hat.

and in seventh year, they sport their love. on their faces, in their laughs and smiles, in their eyes.

and it stays that way, through school, marriage, their first born. their love lasts through the war. 

however, they themselves did not.
