Harry Potter Headcannons

Jily (James and Lily)

Lily hopped off the train and searched for her family. She saw her mom and dad. She began walking over to the when she heard someone call, “Evans!” She turned to see James walking towards her. In the background she saw Sirius, Lupin, and Peter watching with curiosity. She quickly turned back with a “Hmm!” and went toward her parents. She forgot everything with James when she saw Tuny standing with them. Her hear soared with the thought that her sister was calling a truce. She stopped herself with the thought, “Don’t get your hopes up. Why would she stop now instead of 5 years ago.” Her were proven right when, after she hugged her arents and turned to her sister. “Tuny.” She greeted. Her heart fel when her sister acted like no-one was there. Petunia turned to their parents and demanded, “Can we go now!” Lily felt tears spring to her eyes. She ran in the direction of the restroom. James seeing the exchange followed her. He managed to reach her before the restroom. He grabbed her wrist and whirled her around. “Go away. I’m still mad at you.” She jerked her arm away unsuccessfully. 

“Come on, Evans. I said I was sorry.”

“I asked you to leave Snape alone. And you jinx him, not one month after I asked. What possessed you to do this. What possessed you to break our deal? Don’t you dare interrupt me James Potter.” She noticed him open his mouth. She stared at him tapping her foot, while he stared at her. 

“What deal?” He finally asked.

“What deal?! I quote ‘Go out with me, and I will never lay a hand on Snivellus again.’ And unquote.” She said daring him to deny it.

“Is that why you went out with me last year after he called you a you-know-what?”

“Yes. I was on an understanding that if I went out with you, you would never raise your wand to him again.”

“Okay. Let’s say that we did have an understanding. Why do you even care? I thought you hated him after he used the “m” word.”

“He promised not to do that again. And I forgave him. Again, why. Did. You. Jinx. Snape.” She said each word with over pronunciation. 

“He used it again. Not to you, but to another student.” James paused for a moment before continuing. “I’m sorry.”

“For what?” She asked confused.

“Well, for one, I’m sorry for breaking our promise. Two, I’m sorry that Sni-Snape broke your promise.”

“Why? You had nothing do with that. Right?”

“NO! I swear. I would never hurt you like that Lil.”

When did you start calling me Lil? I thought it was Evans?”

“It was. Is. But I like Lil better. Do you prefer Evans?”

“No. Lil is fine.” She looked up at James as though seeing him in a new way. She kissed him on the cheek and said, “Come on. Let’s go meet my parents.” James groaned and followed her. He was not even the slightest bit surprised when she entwined her fingers with his.
