“And the years passed like scenes of a show. The professor said to write what you know, looking backwards might be the only way to move forward. Then the actors were hitting their marks. And the slow dance was alight with the sparks and the tears fell in synchronicity with the score. And at last, she knew what the agony had been for. The only thing that's left is the manuscript. One last souvenir from my trip to your shores. Now and then I re-read the manuscript, but the story isn't mine anymore.”
But it’s Lily Potter(Evans) if she survived Halloween 1978, but James Potter didn’t.
James was definitely the person everyone wanted to be, everyone definitely adored him. Even when they didn’t want to
For example:
Remus: “this bloody chatterbox can’t understand I don’t want to talk to him, just let me sleep before we get to the new school” *James trying to befriend him immediately not mentioning his scars at all* “ig him talking is something that’s somewhat tolerable”
Lily: “James is a git. He doesn’t know how to get that someone people just don’t like him!” *sees James helping Remus after a full moon* “oh.. well ig he ain’t that bad”
Regulus: “Potter is a rude egotistical man who stole my brother and thinks he’s amazing. Well he’s not.” *mets James in the astronomy tower and James calms his down from his panic attack* “nvm then..”
Barty: “who’s this Gryffindor freak who’s all smiley all the time?” *sees James helping Pandora and Mary get away from a touchy stranger* “well ig his smile ain’t bad so why not show it off ig?”
Tbh there could be more
Lily: I can’t really remember when “those boys😒” became “my boys🫶”
Lily: but they were the one ones that befended me against Severus so in my books.. they’re definitely alright.
Lily attacked James when she started liking him because she thought he slipped her a love potion, only to be mortified when she realized he hadn’t. James, of course, was ecstatic.
