lily’s mother talking to her in the hospital the day after harry’s born like “have you been getting enough rest” “I tried but it’s hard with all the crying” “that’s normal for newborns” “no harry slept like a rock I meant james”
I know the Potter fan base has some weird attachment to Karen Gillan and Aaron Johnson, butttt… have you considered Bridget Regan and Adan Canto as James and Lily Potter?
early seventh year lily who has a massive crush on james watching him argue with sirius over the crossword and suddenly his jaw does the thing and she drops her pumpkin juice into her cereal
the internet’s ship name for James and Lily may be Jily
but deep in my soul I know that Remus, Sirius, and Peter called them ‘Lames’
This is the story of Lily and James Potter ; this is how it starts, and how it ends …
let’s be honest when james and lily finally started going out sirius would have run into the great hall all out of breath and yelled it to everyone and everyone would have started clapping and some would be whispering, ‘well, finally’ and lily would have blushed and james would have been all flustered and sirius would have made eye contact with dumbledore and they would have nodded to each other in a knowing fashion because the mission was complete
"It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it’s called Life.”
“How come she married him? She hated him!” “Nah, she didn’t”
Lily Evans, will you marry me?
She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes — her eyes are just like mine, Harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green — exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time. The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just like Harry’s did.
Headcanon: A little before James and Lily’s wedding, James asked Sirius if he’d organize his bachelor party and Sirius went ‘Don’t you mean your stag party?’ and just literally laughed for about 5 minutes straight until James asked Remus to do it instead

James and Lily in the winter time is my favourite.
He was James Potter, and she was Lily Evans.

The Magic Begins ↳ [04] Favourite Ship: James/Lily
“Oh, well, James always made a fool of himself whenever Lily was around,” said Sirius, shrugging. “He couldn’t stop himself showing off whenever he got near her.”
