ya I know u guys like to have James as the fun parent and Lily as the ‘follow the fucking rules’ parent but like

why would u have it that way round when u could have it the other way

Lily sending Harry a howler in his first year that everyone thinks will be telling him off for getting caught out duelling Draco but it’s actually like ‘MUM IS PROUD OF YOU YOU PRINCIPLED KID’ with James in the background like ‘LILY EVANS WHAT ARE U DOING DONT ENCOURAGE HIM’ and Lily telling Harry how to charm his way out of detentions and after hearing about his attempts at duelling Draco in CoS she sends him a huge letter w detailed instructions of loads of defensive charms and basically continues like this throughout his school career bc standing up for what’s right is more important than the rules

meanwhile James is fretting himself blind about how Harry is doing all this dumb shit and Lily’s like ‘you were literally so much worse’ and James is like ‘THAT WAS DIFFERENT’ and when Remus becomes a teacher James writes to him like 3 times a day to check on Harry and Lily is all ‘James please find ur chill’ and Remus finds the whole thing hilarious and tells Sirius who is immediately at the Evans Potter household to rip the shit out of James with delighted help from Lily

like why would you ever not have this hc it’s beautiful

thanks. i crie.
