Lily was more excited than she could remember in a long time. Her life had been a whirlwind since she first learned about Hogwarts and even though her family was proud of her, she worried they were more fearful of her than anything. She knew James Potter had been interested in her, but she made it a point not to date jerks, and that's what she saw him and his friends to be.
She smiled as she headed down to the lake with her picnic basket. Her new love wouldn't judge anyone, and would love only her.
Okay, this is a crack ship I never thought I would need. Thank you! And honestly, if I did have to choose between Jily or Squily, I would, with no doubt, choose Squily!
I can already picture the catchphrase for this ship: "When you get tired and fed up with boys and their antics, you can at least rely on a Giant Squid to have your back."
I don't even know what to say... except why?!
Because this is the supreme ship and my other OTP besides SnOC. 😹😹
Snape/Lily/Giant Squid when?
When you make it happen @thegestaltprince 😹😹
Ok, got something for you @thegestaltprince, by yours truly ChatGPT. 😹😹
In a hilariously absurd turn of events, Severus Snape, Lily Evans, and the enigmatic Giant Squid found themselves entangled in a most unconventional love triangle. It all began one fateful day at Hogwarts, when Snape accidentally stumbled upon a secret passage that led him to the depths of the Black Lake.
To his surprise, Snape discovered Lily and the Giant Squid engaged in what could only be described as a bizarre courtship ritual. The Giant Squid, known for its tentacles and watery domain, seemed to have developed an inexplicable infatuation with Lily, while Lily, in all her Gryffindor courage, seemed rather unfazed by the peculiar situation.
Snape, unable to resist the comedic absurdity of it all, found himself torn between laughter and confusion. He couldn't comprehend how his unrequited love for Lily had taken such an unexpected turn, involving a marine creature of colossal proportions.
As the days went by, Snape became an unwitting observer of Lily and the Giant Squid's antics. He watched with a mix of bewilderment and amusement as the Giant Squid showered Lily with peculiar gifts, such as seaweed bouquets and shiny trinkets retrieved from the lake's depths.
Despite Snape's initial shock, a mischievous idea took hold of him. Determined to win Lily's affection, he embarked on a quest to outdo the Giant Squid and prove that he was the more suitable and entertaining suitor.
Severus Snape, armed with his cunning intellect and a flair for dramatics, devised a plan to woo Lily with his knowledge of potions and his unique brand of humor. He concocted a love potion that was meant to rival the Giant Squid's affectionate gestures, but with a touch of Snape's characteristic wit.
The moment of truth arrived when Snape presented his love potion to Lily, expecting it to elicit a delighted response. However, the unpredictable nature of crack stories took hold, and the potion had a wildly unexpected effect. Instead of falling for Snape, Lily and the Giant Squid found themselves irresistibly drawn to one another.
The resulting chaos was nothing short of absurd. Snape watched, dumbfounded, as Lily and the Giant Squid embarked on an underwater adventure, leaving him in a cloud of watery confusion.
In the end, Snape was left with nothing but a hilariously failed attempt at love and an unforgettable story to recount. He eventually found solace in the absurdity of it all, realizing that some things are simply not meant to be, no matter how ludicrously entertaining they may seem.
