Harry Potter Etymology | Lily Potter (née Evans)
LILY: A flower symbolizing purity and innocence. It is the flower commonly used during the Easter holiday and symbolizes immortality. The bulb decays in the ground, and from it new life is released. It is Lily who gives her life so Harry can keep on living.
POTTER: A name J.K. Rowling has always been fond of since childhood. “Potter’s Field” is often the name given to a cemetery where a city or town buries those who have gone unclaimed or unwanted (a community’s orphans). “Potter’s Field” is also considered a cursed land because Judas hung himself in one.
EVANS: A Celtic name that means “young warrior.”

A Charming Conversation Between My Marauders
So, my friends and I all have assigned hp characters. For the sake of ease, I will put down the character name rather than the friend name, as we'd slipped into hp mode at this stage anyhow.Me (Lily): Urgh I'm so tired.
James: From last night? ;)
Alice: WHAT?!
Me: *glares* You and that lump of enchanted wood better watch it, Potter-
Sirius: She did not just say that.
James: *gasps* DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY BABY THAT WAY!
Sirius: She just said that *shakes head at me*
Remus: [muttered] oh boy...
Me: It's a lump of wood enchanted to fly.
James: It's an instrument of speed and aerodynamics whose beauty is like no other.
Me: If it enters my dormitory one more time. I will show you the beauty of speed and aerodynamics. Up your arse.
Alice: *blinks* Why was he in your dormitory?
Me: *blanches* He wasn't!
James: I wasn't!
Sirius: I can vouch for that! He was with me!
Me: Oh really? *eyebrow raise*
