  • James always being 10000% more into singing along to the songs playing on the radio than everyone else and almost always singing the wrong lyrics. But he sings them with so much confidence and is adamant he’s the only one who’s hearing them right?
  • His leadership complex being the source of his arrogance and his absolute refutation of the fact that he could maybe…. possibly… be wrong
  • But you know it’s Lily who corrects him one day in the Common Room when he’s absolutely butchering The Weird Sisters and he gets all self-righteous
  • He’s all long limbs and jabby fingers and she’s all red hair and very piercing glares
  • And of course he knows he’s wrong in the moment. But he’s not going to admit it.
  • And now, he figures he likes Lily correcting him
  • So he purposely fluffs the lyrics and secretly enjoys the wrath she unleashes on him
  • And a few years down the line, when they have their own place and he’s singing the wrong bloody words to Harry as he coos in his arms, she realises, everything she ever hated about him…
  • His stupid untucked shirts and over-exaggerated hand gestures and his skew-whiff glasses and how he wears his watch on the inside of his wrist for some ridiculous reason
  • And the way he’s always, always, singing the wrong lyrics
  • … everything she ever hated about him is now, embarassingly and she can’t quite believe it, everything she’ll always love.
