Anon I know you never expected an answer to this one

andmattersoftheheart:

Am I the only who thinks James didn’t ask Lily out 24/7?

He seemed pretty insecure about it, tbh. (Scratching out her initials after he wrote it so no one could see, trying really hard to impress her, etc.)

Even if he asked her out a few times before the SWM incident I don’t think he would continue pestering - he seems to have too much pride for that.

 James and Lily series → Part 1(a): September 1st, 1976 (beginning of sixth year)

Part 1(a) Lily’s POV 

The summer had not been easy and careless as Lily would have liked. There were one too many things plaguing her mind and throwing her off balance - the most critical being Severus no longer her friend.

Predictably, when she stepped off the Hogwarts Express onto the platform at Hogsmeade, the person who - in an indirect way - caused her to lose her best friend bombarded her instantly. She halted as he dashed in front of her. 

“Did you know any girl at this school would kill to date me?” said James Potter, tilting his head in the way that made Lily want to rip it off. Honestly, did he really have the audacity to do this after what happened in June?

This time was different, though. This time, he didn’t have that arrogant smirk that said this was all a game and he knew that she’d say no. No, not at all. This time - he was dead serious. He was genuinely curious as to why Lily would not go out with him. This realization only made Lily more frustrated with him, for being so bloody disbelieving that one girl would not satisfy his needs. 

“Am I honestly that bad?” said Potter, looking as frustrated as Lily felt. 

Oh, how she’d love to answer that question. So she did.

“You’re worse than bad, James. You’re arrogant, and a bully. Everything a gentleman shouldn’t be.” 

James gave her a long, hardened look before he turned away. Instantly, and unfortunately, Lily pitied him. Damn this good nature! He had turned and lowered his head in what was most certainly an act of hurt. Or he could just be pretending, for Lily. Yes. Of course he was. He had to be. He couldn’t be so upset that Lily had said that, she had done so plenty of times before. 

Except of course, this time she was genuinely angry when she said it. This time, she meant it, and she made sure he knew it in the tone of her voice. This time, James Potter wasn’t playing around and was fully serious about her.

Damn it, Lily thought, knowing she was in for a year.

The Doctor explaining to Harry that he can’t go back in time to save James and Lily because their deaths are fixed points in time, and they were literally born to die at that moment.

And I love her
She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover bring
She brings to me

Long time no Jily, huh? This is the scene from my friend Masha’s fanfic Дни Мародёров  :33
