LILY POTTER
Lily had dressed up as a witch every Halloween.
Petunia was her best friend even when they grew apart.
Even though she was good at Potions, she despised the class.
Lily had loved Severus, but they were just not fit to be more than friends. Their ambitions were too different, though it didn't dull the pain when he'd called her "Mudblood."
Her first crush had been Severus, but her first kiss had been Remus. Neither spoke of the incident.
When Lily realized she liked James she blamed it on puberty, hormones, and Sirius spiking her drink at a party.
Lily never let anyone know how much it hurt that Petunia hadn't gone to her wedding. James seemed to know, but never said anything which she is grateful for.
When she found out she was pregnant she felt guilty because a war was no place for child. That all changed when she held Harry the first time.
Lily was terrified when she heard the prophecy. Harry never left her side if she could help it after that. She knew James had the same nightmares, knew he spent half the night with their little boy, but she acted otherwise. She knew she could handle this better than him, so she feigned ignorance and strength for her little men.
Lily didn't know why Voldemort was trying to spare her life, but as the green light rushed her a familiar face came up from her memories and she knew Severus had been behind it. She would be eternally grateful that he still cared.
