lily definitely referred to the marauders as her boys, the boys, these boys, just boys all the time.
and at first when sheβd walk in a room like βthere are my boys!β or βgreat my boys are here!β theyβd all be like no evans we are independent we are MEN we are not BOYS we donβt belong to anyone we are a SOCIETY OF MEN
but eventually when she walked into the common room like βwhere are my boys?β theyβd all instinctively just chime in βin hereβ and accepted their position as lilyβs boys
