10 reasons that Lily and James Potter just HAD to die
1. They hung out with an officially "dead" guy, a man-eating werewolf, a convicted felon and were being chased by an egomaniacal nutter. James' school rival was in love with his best friend, who was James' wife. They would probably drop dead just from the stress!
2. Lily spent six years trying to convince James that she hated him, only to marry him and have a child by him!
3. They trusted Dumbledore to send Harry to a good home… presumably, with good people in it…
4. They wore dresses- both of them
5. They carried sticks around to protect themselves. Small, breakable sticks to ensure that their family was protected
6. Lily had red hair and green eyes, while James had brown eyes and black hair. Don't these people know anything about colour coordination?
7. James flew around on a big stick to throw a ball through a big hoop. And he called it sport.
8. Lily never became an Animagus. And everybody knows that to become an awesome character in Harry Potter, you need to be either an Animagus, have a scar on your forehead, posses a sense of humour or have a completely outraged view on blood purity prejudices.
9. The school where they met had the motto, "never tickle a sleeping dragon". So apparently they rely on mottos to give them commonsense advice, and on meddlesome Headmasters to give them answers
10. James was Irish and didn't binge-drink regularly. This not only defies the laws of the universe, but also shocks the known world to the point where a time-warp is created and the universe implodes- so, to simplify things, he just died.
This series was initially a one-shot, so this announcement is to announce that I am bored and out of ideas. Throw me a one-liner and I'll make it a chapter.
Bored to tears,
