Lily Evans has hated James Potter ever since their first year at Hogwarts. It's not something that Lily ever expects to change. But outside the castle walls, a dark wizard is rising. No one is safe anymore. Lily is thrown into this fight, merely because she is a muggleborn. Even with her magical abilities, she is fighting to have a place in the magical world. Will she be alone in this fight, or will someone she never expected join her?

This is a story of magic, friendship, romance, and all of the drama that ensues when you attend a magical boarding school in the seventies during a war. Follow James, Lily, the Marauders, the clichéd new girl, Slytherins, Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and even a certain Severus Snape as they attend their last year at Hogwarts. Intentions will come to light, relationships will blossom, and all in one little clichéd story with a twist. Now Complete! Harry Potter Fan Fiction Canon elements and characters included. The Harry Potter series DEFINITELY belongs to J. K. Rowling, the plotline of this fanwork belongs to me. Nette and Damien are my characters.
