Lily

Bird

Lily Evans was a free spirit; she was a bird, and James needed to catch her now, before she flew away.

Rainbow

In a world of colors, Lily Evans was pathetically black and white, while James Potter was a vibrant rainbow; and maybe, just maybe, that's why she liked him so much.

Proposals

By the age of sixteen, Lily Evans had been proposed to a total of forty-seven times, and had rejected all; it took her one more year, and one more proposal, before she finally accepted.

Constant

Lily nearly cried when she realized her world would change once she left school; luckily, she thought, as James Potter got down on one knee, there'd always be at least one constant in her life.

Flowers

For much of their childhood, Lily and Petunia hated their flower names; it wasn't until Petunia cut herself off from the family completely that Lily began to appreciate that one small connection to her older sister.

Owl

When Lily received that first letter to Hogwarts, she was too infatuated with the majestic owl to actually open it.

Scarlet

The first time James thought about Lily was in first year, when he laughed about the way her red hair clashed with the scarlet of the train.

Regret

When Lily looked back on her life, she realized that the only thing she regretted was not giving James a chance sooner.

Friend

Lily missed her friendship with Snape; unfortunately, she couldn't have him and James.

Dance

The first time Lily ever slow danced was at Alice and Frank's wedding, and she was ecstatic that it was one more first she could share with James Potter.

Wedding

Since childhood, Lily had dreamed of an extravagant wedding; because she was with James, though, she didn't mind having a hurried wedding with only twelve guests.

Dream

Lily's truly believed Freud's theory that dreams reflected hidden desires; why else would she have dreamt about holding James Potter every night since she met him?

Amortentia

Lily realized in sixth year, when she inhaled her first batch of love potion, that she was hopelessly in love with James; after all, who else smelt like broomstick oil, pumpkin juice, and the inside of Zonko's?

Son

Even though she had endured hours of excruciating labor, Lily knew it was worth it when she gazed into the emerald eyes of her newborn son.

War

Lily felt useless sitting at home while James was out catching Death Eaters; when he was finally ordered to hide, she was relieved that he was just as useless as she.

Last

Lily Potter drew her last breath just seconds after James died; she was slightly thankful as she fell, as she didn't think she could live without the love of her life.

A/N: This was pretty much written to see if I could relieve my writer's block. Some of these (OK, most of these) are ideas for oneshots I'm working on currently, so I hope you like 'em!
