Lily Evans was tired of the deviance, trickery and destruction caused by the boys that liked to call themselves The Marauders. Particularly, she had had enough with James Potter and his arrogance. They needed to be avoided. With her last year at Hogwarts approaching, she must focus on her studies and to do that, she must avoid James Potter at all costs, but how can she do that when he so badly wants himself to be with her? What happens when her feelings begin to change? Does she really want to avoid James Potter that much? A fanfiction set in the Harry Potter world before his time. The beginning of how Harry came to be... Author Note: Going through minor editing that will not effect story.

Sirius Black told Harry that there were four Marauders. He told Harry that his best friends in school were James, Remus and Peter. He told Harry that there were three unregistered Animagi at the time he was at Hogwarts. He lied. There was another, only one other, who Sirius never mentioned. Perhaps because they had a falling out... perhaps because something happened to her. Rowan Mulciber is the missing Marauder, and this is her story.
