lily evans headcanons because i just had major feels and because lily evans is the light of my life:
okay so everyone loved literal-ray-of-sunshine-lily-evans
like, the whole school either wanted to date her or be her best friend
because no matter who you were, lily would help you out and was always there for you
e.g. once, she saw a first year gryffindor crying on the steps because they thought they werent brave enough and she sat with them for a whole hour and gave them chocolate
or that time she helped out a fifth year slytherin because they were afraid they’d turn out bad and she just hugged them and told them she believed in them
she could make anyone and everyone laugh and she was the Number One Sass Queen ™
like she could outsass everyone - including mr sirius orion black
she shrunk her pastel pink boombox so she could blast her muggle music everywhere she went
her fashion sense was always on fleek no matter what she was wearing
like, she was easily the best dressed student in hogwarts
she was a freakin genius and was brilliant at, not only magic but maths and science
this not only made her a giant nerd but also really dangerous like bitch dont fight her because she fights back and she is fierce
she was smol, short and tiny and james used to tease her about it because he was 6ft 2 giant and she had to stand on the tips of her toes to kiss him
her hair was legit the softest thing you ever touched and always smelt like vanilla and strawberries
she always came up with the best strategies and playing techniques for the gryffindor quidditch team even though she was actually terrible at playing
her taste in music was on point
she got sirius hooked on muggle music and always made mixtapes for him so whenever he was feeling down he could play her tapes and think of her
she actually was a Chocolate Whore™ and carried chocolate where ever she went in case she saw someone who was sad and she would offer them chocolate
also, she’d have chocolate-eating contests with remus and they’d just sit in the library, surrounded by books, and eat chocolate until their stomach hurt
she continued to defend severus even though he was a total asshole who did not deserve her love and affection totally out of her league
also, she always included peter pettigrew and always found new ways to make him laugh
she could play the piano and she taught remus how to play because james had no patience and just wanted to make out
she and remus researched werewolf rights and she was a complete and utter feminist
she was so snuggly and a Hug Slut™
ugh she loved stealing the marauders clothes and wouldn’t give them back until their sweaters, shirts and jackets smelt like her
because she was the heart and soul of their little boy band
and they secretly loved it
she had the best legs in the business because she always shaved them so they were constantly smooth and her legs were just perfect
her second love in life was books and the library
everyone would go to her for hot choclate because, honestly, she was the best at making it
like it was as though she stirred in a drop of her love
her and remus always exchanged books and geeked out over them
she dragged james to the first two star wars films because she was star wars trash and proud of it
james found it adorable when she fangirled over star wars
but quickly became jealous of han solo because ‘oh shit ive got competition’
she always wore her hair in elegant braids/half braids like those beautiful ones on pinterest
she bit her lip and tied her hair up when she was concentrating and it always drove james crazy
her eyes weren’t just green. they’d change from blue to green depending on her mood because lily evans was so full of life and color and this would show in the depths of her eyes
when one of her girl friends was feeling down, she’d give them pedicures/manicures, do their hair up and dress them up and they’d just dance together in the common room
she always wore flowers in her hair because she was just so pure and full of life
she always picked flowers and pressed them between her books for the #aesthetic
she always smelt so good no matter where she was or what she was doing
she had so many secret admirers - boys and girls alike
because lily evans was brave, beautiful, talented, bold, charming, feisty, kind, loyal and sensitive and she was always willing to help out everyone she could
and, when she died, the stars died a little more with her
