You know the story of Lily and James Potter, but how did it come to be? This is, in my eyes, how they finally started dating in their 7th and final year of Hogwarts. Ft. the Marauders and their antics :) Updates twice every week whenever possible. I can't promise that I won't skip a day every once in a while This is going to be a 50 part story. Read & Enjoy!

"I thought she hated him?!" "Nah, she never did."

How did Lily Evans and James Potter come to be James and Lily Potter? This is my version of their story. To see how Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black became Blackinnon (mostly following the storyline of this fanfic), check out their own story I wrote named Violet Hill. All rights go to J.K. Rowling.

Lily Evans is entering her final year at Hogwarts. As the outside world is attacked by Death Eaters, Lily's world changes left and right. Many things happen unexpectedly, like her sudden friendship with James Potter. Lily must stay strong to get through the year and make sure she stays focused, but Potter may make that a problem. At least she only thinks of him as a friend...right?
