*The halls are dim and everything is quiet as James and Lily make their rounds, giggling and chatting in not-so-hushed tones*
James: *smirks* And you bet I did. *swoons* Minnie’s the love of my life!
Lily: …And where did you get those snapping toffees?
Lily: You don’t call Marlene by her last name….or-
James: It’s a… term of endearment.
Lily: You looked like you were having a lot of fun.
James: *shocked* …. You…
Lily: *quickly changes topics*
Lily: *smirks* You both have a pension for trouble.
James: *laughs*
Lily: We’re mates right? You can talk to me about that stuff…
James: Besides… talking about “that stuff” with you… is kind of weird.
James: I’m clearly not picking up what you’re putting down, so could you maybe simplify this for me… ? *smirks* Pretend I’m a toddler, use small words.
Lily: I really, really like you… I’m sorry.
James: *quietly* … What are you trying to say Lily?
Lily: Not anymore.
James: *studies Lily’s earnest face* *struggles to contain himself*
Lily: *laughs in frustration*
Lily: *turns around and starts heading down the hall*
Lily: *stares down at their laced fingers*
FIN
Now I’m waiting for the one where James tells Sirius.
Random students are shouting horrible things at Hermes in the hallway as he is trying to drown them out with music. It was mostly slurs about being a faggot for having so many boyfriends and for pretending to be a boy.
Ron : Hey Babe *Turns to the bullies* So who the fuck are you?
The students look at him with wide eyes. “Babe basically they were just calling us gay and well making fun of me for not having a real…” Hermes just raised his eyebrow as some how Ron should get the message even without having to explain everything to his boyfriend.
Ron : I’m sorry Babe, that’s horrible.
The sound of the bullies screams echoed through the castle. Times were dark though, so no one dared question it.
