get to know me meme: three friendships ♦ harry, ron, & hermione

↳ “In spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.”

Sirius and Lily have this weird relationship that starts in fifth year when Lily finds Sirius lying on the floor of the common room awake, and when he explains he just had some thinking to do, she’s sort of annoyed because the common room is where she goes to think in the middle of the night, but she’s Lily Evans, so she’s nice to him, and she asks if he wants to talk. And he does, so they do.

the two of them staying up all night talking about their families and the war and how scared they are, and maybe just a little bit about James Potter. 

Sirius trying to talk up James all sixth year and Lily having absolutely none of it, but the more time she spends with him, the more time she spends with James, and he starts to grow on her slowly, and then suddenly “Potter” is a fond sort of nickname and “Evans” Is a teasing term of endearment. 

Lily taking Sirius to Petunia’s wedding when she finds out she needs a date, because Sirius was a Black, and he knows how to act, and also he’s a laugh. Sirius and Lily having a blast together, despite Petunia, and Lily having pictures from that day tacked to her dresser for the rest of her short life. 

Lily meeting James parents for the first time as Sirius’ friend at the train station. James’ parents not realizing she’s THE Lily and teasing Sirius about her on the way home while James fumes silently. 

Lily surprising Sirius on his birthday with a Chudley Canons T-shirt and a new record from “The Muggle Musicians I Like So Much” and Sirius wearing the stupid shirt all day, even though it blatantly breaks dress code, because “I’m Sirius Black, this is the least trouble I could possibly be getting in.”

Lily and James imitating Sirius and laughing like idiots and Sirius pretending to be offended and sort of not really caring because they don’t laugh as much as they should.

Sirius meeting Lily’s family, and her mom not so subtly asking, “Is this the Potter boy Lily?”  and Sirius grinning like crazy and asking, all innocent curiosity, “Who’s this boy Ms. Evans??” And Ms. Evans and Sirius just hardcore gossiping about James and Lily while Lily blushes bright red and “MOM SIRIUS STOP IT.YOU’RE EMBARRASSING ME.” 

Sirius and James staying up all night, throwing a quaffle back and forth between their dorm beds while James analyzes everything Lily has ever said to him, “What does that mean though?? What do you think she was inferring??”  Remus sighing from the bed across the room and through his pillow, “She wasn’t inferring anything Prongs. Now go to sleep you utter twat.”

Lily and Sirius having little meet ups throughout the day where they plot the next thing Lily should say over breakfast that will leave James completely puzzled. “Was that flirting Padfoot?? Was Evans flirting with me just there?” “I have no idea mate.”

James and Lily finally getting together in seventh year and Sirius just being over the moon ecstatic about it, because “They’re my two favorite people in the whole world, except for you, Moony, and Pete of course, and what if they have a baby? God it would be so damn cute. I love it already. So sarcastic, so good at Quidditch, Freckles! It would have fr-” “Please stop Sirius. Charms class is so not the time to talk about James reproducing” 

James having Sirius as his best man, and the best man spends the morning before the bachelor party getting his toes done with the bride. 

Lily and James not even really thinking about anyone but Sirius for Harry’s Godfather, “And besides we’ll have enough kids for Remus and Pete to get their own tiny Potter, right?” “If I don’t leave you for Benjy Fenwick by then, I think that can happen Potter.” 

Sirius wanting the responsibilty of Secret Keeper on his shoulders, because the weight is something he thinks he’s supposed to bear, a testament to his little family, but knowing despite that, it would be safer to just let Pete do it. Sirius reluctantly giving Pete the title of secret keeper and hoping it’s enough to keep the Potter’s safe.

Sirius, who’s family has been Lily and the Marauders for a long time now, taking his Godfather responsibilities very, very, seriously. 

Sirius showing up at the Potter’s early on Halloween afternoon to play with Harry and chase him through the living room while he squeals and shreiks and giggles. Sirius kissing Lily bye with a tiny Harry in his arms, Sirius laughing with James and promising a visit the next day, letting go of his friend too soon, and leaving too soon, and thinking, as he walked from Godrics Hallow, that they were safe.

shoutout to george, fred, and especially ron weasley for realizing that harry was stuck in abusive and unhealthy household and, in spite of the massive trouble they knew they could get in, taking immediate steps to personally see him removed from that environment, something no adult in harry’s life did.
