You know the story of Harry Potter and his years at Hogwarts. But what about his parents? This is the story of how Lily Evans and James Potter came to be Lily and James Potter parents of Harry Potter. When Lily gets back from Christmas break 6th year she is met with a changed James. He is kind, and not hexing people. Heck he even apologized! But even after Lily refuses to let herself fall for him, will that really work? What happens when they find themselves becoming closer than they ever imagined. disclaimer: JKR owns all of the characters and plot

Lily Evans has always completely despised James Potter, but suddenly she feels different. Has James changed? Or is it her that's changed?

Everyone who reads Harry Potter or watches the movies know that Lily and James are his parents. But how did he ever get Lily? It was a known fact that Lily hated James and James loved Lily. He was everything she hated about guys: Cocky, arrogant, a pain in the neck, and a troublemaker. But what if there's more than to James than all of that. Lily finds an unlikely friend and that carries a burden heavier than most. Just how long can this friendship truly last before it becomes something more? War is coming and with betrayals and loss, can love really be found? Before you read: This is more of a marauders fan fiction. I've written it to revolve not only on Lily and James' relationship, but their relationship's with the people around them. Also, thanks for giving it a shot! :)
