lily definitely referred to the marauders as her boys, the boys, these boys, just boys all the time.

and at first when she’d walk in a room like “there are my boys!” or “great my boys are here!” they’d all be like no evans we are independent we are MEN we are not BOYS we don’t belong to anyone we are a SOCIETY OF MEN

but eventually when she walked into the common room like “where are my boys?” they’d all instinctively just chime in “in here” and accepted their position as lily’s boys
