where: The Potter home.

 who: Sirius and Lily @fauvehoof​

“I’m home!” rumbled from the fireplace before Sirius stepped out of it. The place, albeit not his home, felt nearly as much as his actual place. He had spent plenty of moments under its roof, his energy bound to the walls. Yes, besides his and Remus’ home, this where where Sirius felt the safest. 

James was still at the hospital, resting and healing from the injuries he had gained at the protests. Sirius had been relieved when Lily had given him notice that James was alright, the pain the fear had stitched into his shoulders easing. It had been too close, again, and once again Sirius had to fear that James’ hero complex would come crashing down on their lives. James high moral compass and his passion to do good were one of the things Sirius both loved and hated in James. 

And, he didn’t want to lose two brothers. Not ever, but especially not so close together. It had been jarring seeing Regulus unmoving in his hospital bed, sleeping on the edge to death. Seeing Regulus in a coma had helped stir unlabeled, unspoken emotions in him, and he had had such a sudden strong desire for Regulus to wake up so Sirius could compensate for all the years of abandonment. Instead, he had gotten a moment with Walburga, and left behind a box of licorice wands for Regulus if - when - he woke up. 

And Lily, then. Who had been at the protests too, who also had to fear where James’ bravados would have him end up, who had a son to take care of and thus couldn’t give in to her emotions as freely as Sirius as not to upset Harry. Sirius was relieved that Lily, all in all, had escaped the turbulence fairly scot-free.

 He held bags carrying boxes of Chinese takeaway for them to feast on, a little bag of sweets for his godson. It still amazed Sirius,at times, that this where were he had ended up with Lily; hurrying over to her to make sure she was okay, worry and love for her running freely in his heart as it did for James. Lily, who Sirius once had been so jealous of when she first had come into his life proper. Lily, who he know couldn’t imagine not being in his life. Lily, who had expanded on the gift of family that the Marauders had given him, Lily that seemingly trusted him so that he was named godfather to Harry. Sirius’ heart swelled at the sudden thoughts, at how safe and welcoming he felt by just stepping out of the fireplace into Lily’s world. 

“I’ve brought lots of food!”

moodboard: Lily Evans

In this week's edition of "The Enchanted Echo," we've got the exclusive scoop on the scandalous rumored romance between Sirius Black and Lily Evans, two former Hogwarts students who have caused a stir in the wizarding community with their apparent affair.

According to our sources, Sirius and Lily have been seen together at various events, and there's even talk of them running off to elope in Paris! This news has sent shockwaves through the wizarding community, as many thought that Lily, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Gryffindor," would never give Sirius, the notorious playboy and alleged member of the Death Eaters, the time of day. But it seems that the dark charm of Sirius Black is hard to resist! Despite her reputation as a bit of a prude, Lily has been seen smiling and laughing with Sirius at various social events, even sneaking kisses behind James Potter's back (who, as you all know, is Lily's husband and Harry's father).

But hold on a minute – didn't Lily marry James Potter, Sirius's best friend, a few years ago? And isn't James the father of their three-year-old son, Harry, whom Sirius is godfather to? This news has many people scratching their heads and wondering what could be going on. Is Lily's marriage to James on the rocks? Is Sirius trying to steal Lily away from his best friend? Or could this be just a fling, with no real substance to it? Well, "The Enchanted Echo" has done some digging, and it looks like there might be more to this story than meets the eye. According to our sources, Sirius has always had a thing for Lily, even back when they were at Hogwarts together. He's apparently been trying to win her over for years, and it looks like his persistence has finally paid off. But what about James? Some say that he's devastated by the news of Sirius and Lily's affair and is considering filing for divorce. Others claim that he's turning a blind eye to the whole thing, hoping that it will just blow over.

As with any rumor, it's hard to say what's really going on. But one thing is for sure: "The Enchanted Echo" will be here to keep you up-to-date on all the latest gossip and rumors from the wizarding world. We'll be sure to follow this story closely and bring you all the juicy details as they become available. Stay tuned!

He had wanted to be strategic with it-- wait until the moment of most impact so that he could do everything in his power to make sure that wretched Vance did not stick around. He was less thna impressed, and if Lily was going to venture into something with someone, he at least hoped for someone of higher quality. So the moment, this quiet afternoon with not more to offer than a smidge of relaxation, was more than ideal to Severus. 

He opened his door slowly peeking his head out to catch sight of the back of Lily’s. 

“Lil, do you have a moment?” @liliumss​

Lily tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she walked through the corridors of Hogwarts school of Witch craft and Wizardry. She couldn’t believe this was really her final year. 

James’ day had been going exceedingly well. He actually managed to pass his Potions test, Professor Longbottom didn’t collect the Herbology homework(much to the delight of James, who hadn’t done it) and Professor Trelawney was out sick which meant no Divination. A content smile was painted onto his face as he walked down the dusty steps of the grand staircase.His contentment didn’t last for very long though because when he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw something that wiped the grin clean off his face. There, in the middle of the corridor, was his baby sister holding hands with a boy. His expression shifted from shocked to horrified and then finally to outraged. He watched on in frustration as the boy walked away from Lily, the pair obviously having said their goodbyes for the moment. When the boy disappeared into the wave of students travelling through the corridor, James decided to chase after Lily now that she was unaccompanied.

“Lily!” He called, darting down the corridor, not caring about how many innocent 1st years he shoved along the way. He would get to the bottom of this.
