Summary: "I can't stand the sexual tension. Snog her or ask her out or something, or I'm going to lock you in a room together until you shag each other." James brushed off Sirius's comment, assuming he was joking. He should have known better.

Dorcas keeps sending Marlene books. Dung insists this means Dorcas wants to shag Marlene. "To a bloody Ravenclaw, books are like a declaration of love or something," he insists. But Marlene knows that's just Mundungus Fletcher nonsense… isn't it?

The Daily Prophet is full of bad news, everyone's tense and worried, and on top of all that, the seventh years still have piles of homework and N.E.W.T.s to worry about. The Marauders get through it together with the help of some mischief, a lot of firewhisky, and a dramatic outburst or two.

On Halloween, 1981, James spends a quiet day with his family in Godric's Hollow.

Lily loves grass-flavored Bertie Bott's. James makes it his personal mission to ensure she has as many as she wants — they make her happy, even if they taste like dirt.

The Marauders enjoy their first snowy full moon together.

James and Lily are photographed together as Head Boy and Girl. A week later, the photo goes missing.

When Lily is captured by Death Eaters, she doesn't expect to spend the afternoon brewing potions with Severus – and she certainly doesn't expect to enjoy it so much.

A snowstorm hits Godric's Hollow, but the Potters don't mind one bit.

Sirius is still grieving Mary's death, but Remus helps him forget for a little while.

Mary and Peter bond over a joint and a biscuit when Sirius is away on a mission.

He couldn't remember anyone ever telling him they loved him. Yet here was Euphemia, standing in the kitchen while Celestina fucking Warbeck played in the background, saying "I love you" like it was the most natural thing in the world. Five times the Potters say "I love you" to Sirius and one time he says it back.

Lily throws James out of their flat, then spends the next day hoping he'll come back.

The Order is losing the war. Mary is dead, Remus is exhausted, Sirius is barely keeping it together, and the Potters are in hiding. Peter is terrified and traumatized, but mostly conflicted, because he can't make a decision to save his (or anyone else's) life.

James loves being a dad, and Lily loves watching James be a dad.

Throughout their friendship, Lily and Severus use the language of flowers as their own secret code. When a bouquet arrives on Lily's wedding day, she knows exactly who sent it and what it means.

When James set Lily's hair on fire during an unfortunate Exploding Snap incident, he never would've guessed they would end up having a heart-to-heart down by the lake. He certainly didn't expect the night to end with a hug – but then again, Lily Evans was full of surprises. Sequel to "Daffodils."

James owes Lily an apology, but a simple apology just won't do. Lily deserves more than just a bouquet of flowers, and James can't pass up an opportunity to show off.

The dismal state of the world weighs heavy on the Potters, but James refuses to let bad news ruin their lazy Sunday.

Sirius dreads returning home to Grimmauld Place. As they sit on the roof and share a bottle of firewhisky, James offers him another option.
