“That’s such a boring answer.” Her cheeks were back to that faint shad of pink, but she hadn’t confirmed or denied it.

“I do think he’s changed, you know? But… I don’t know.”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

“You know, I was going to tell you, but now I really want to hear your guess.”

She’ll tell him either way, of course. But the walk down to the Great Hall will be more entertaining this way.

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

She flicks her wand, clearing the doodles off of her charms notes so she can leave them without worrying. Then she stands to follow him.

“Maybe I will. We all deserve to be happy, right?”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

She tried her hardest not to blush, but… her cheeks were definitely turning pink. “It’s… more complicated than that.”

She elbowed him gently in the arm, smiling slightly. “Shall we head down for breakfast?”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

"It's nice to meet you, Zahra. I'm Lily." She offered a slightly shaky smile, still getting over the shock of seeing the genie.

"Er... yes, please. What are the rules?"

She really wasn't sure what she'd wish for. Rules would help.

“Call me Zahra.” She bowed respectfully.

“Welcome to the genie magic. Where you are granted three wishes. But when genies have rules, would you like to hear them?”

She might not be able to tell. But Z was ecstatic to be out of the lamp and with a person!

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

She blinked in surprise, nearly dropping the lamp. She managed to hold onto it, though she knew she must look ridiculous with her wide eyes.

"You're... oh."

Of course... a genie lamp. It made sense, in a way.

[*.• 𝙴𝙻𝙸𝚉𝙰𝙱𝙴𝚃𝙷 𝚂𝚆𝙰𝙽𝙽 @kingncptn]

Colors of blue and gold smoke poured from the tip of the lamp, and from the magical mist came Zahra.

“Greetings finder, how may I serve you?”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

Lily rubs at the smudges on the gleaming surface of the lamp, frowning slightly.

She's not sure where it came from, but it would be beautiful with a proper polishing charm.

POV: reader holds the genie lamp.

She's making a quick trek up to the hospital wing, keeping her eyes down and hiding her hand in the sleeve of her robe to avoid questions.

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

She glanced back at the doodles, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. "You could say that."

She'd tell him, eventually. She didn't like to keep secrets from him- though it wasn't exactly a secret. Just something she was considering.

"I... slept a little." An hour or two.

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

"Good morning." She offered him a small smile, laying her quill down on top of the parchment.

She sat back on the couch, pressing their shoulders together for a few seconds before giving him space. "Did you sleep at all?"

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

@selenoisms a bit more intense. It left her speechless for a few seconds, and she accidentally held his hands just a bit too tightly. She loosened her hold as soon as she noticed.

"You never fail to surprise me, Remus Lupin. In all the best ways."

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

Lily dropped onto the couch in the common room beside @selenoisms, huffing in exasperation. Her arms were crossed in annoyance.

“Why are your friends such utter morons, Remus? How do you stand being the only normal one?”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

@selenoisms she'd ever been given.

She was touched, and that warm feeling that had been building in her chest was a becoming a bit overwhelming. It was happiness, affection... the same things she used to feel when she spent time with Severus, before he showed his true colors, only maybe +

“I’ve already read it once, it’s okay. I loved it.”

She’d been planning to read it again, but it could certainly wait. There were other, newer books.

[Petunia Evans @ForgottenEvans]

She blinked and took the book from you, looking at it, then at you again.

“Don’t you wanna read it?”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

❤️ for a short starter. Retweet to spread the word, please!

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

@selenoisms even more so. You put up with so much. I don’t know how you have so much patience.”

If she thought it wouldn’t overwhelm him, she’d cross the distance to hug him. “Hogwarts wouldn’t be the same without you, I think.”

[𝓛𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝓕𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 @FieryPride]

@selenoisms words back any longer. Everyone deserved genuine compliments.

“I wouldn’t joke about something like that, Remus. I try not to say things that I don’t mean, you know. You’re one of my favorite people in this castle. I mean it when I say that you’re just as kind as I am- maybe +
