[EDITING] "Evans!" James grinned, strutting towards her. "Fancy seeing you here, and I'm here too, with you-not with you-but both of us... at Hogsmeade." "Bloody hell," she muttered, withdrawing from her hiding place. The loud thwack of her head colliding with the wood of the table cut through the bubbly pub. James let out a snort, flung his cloak lazily onto a chair across from her and sank down into it, sipping happily at his butterbeer. "Whatever were you doing down there, Evans?" He raised his eyebrows suggestively. "Shove off, Potter..." James Potter was an intolerable prick. A dim-witted, egotistical toerag who wasn't worth Lily's time. Well, unless, in the case of a good telling-off, that was very much worth it. This was true right up until the last few weeks of fifth year when her whole life was flipped on her head, and she was left to work out what in Merlin's name to do with it. ▸ Beta-reader @lemondotboy ▸ Chapters: 17 (plus introductory chapter and prologue) ▸ Words: +60k THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING TRANSFERRED TO AO3 "This story is really good and perfectly portrays James and Lily's relationship..." @Of_Rains_and_Storms [ONGOING] [HIGHEST RANKS] #1 - jily #1 - lilyandjames #1 - jilyfanfiction #1 - maraudersfanfic #1 - jamesandlily #1 - lilyandjamespotter Enjoy!

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: I don't call eyes 'orbs' You love Jily enough to search for fanfics - James Potter and Lily Evans, two of the most talked-about people in Hogwarts. Their relationship was interesting, the cute green-eyed girl calling out insults at the cheeky Gryffindor seeker, the handsome boy always teasing the nerd and asking her out, meeting a defiant refusal every time. In Lily's eyes, Potter was just another boy who is arrogant, annoying and rude. However, with a startling turn of events, she may find out that James Potter is more than he meets the eye. James Potter regards himself as just another player. Lily Evans was merely another challenge. That girl frustrated him by being completely oblivious to his charms. How will he be able to win her over? Is it possible that Lily will be James' saving grace, pull him out into the light? On the other hand, can James break through Lily's mental shields and love her irrevocably, giving her the security and comfort she had never experienced before? For all we know, love is an interesting thing, changing lives long before we were born. Combined with magic, the lives of Lily Evans and James Potter are about to be changed. Excerpt: "You kissed me back." He finally broke the silence. "I did not!" "You did, I can tell." "Yeah, thinking about how much experience you've had with kissing girls just warms my heart." Lily folded her arms and looked away, fully aware that she was acting like a stubborn child, and fully intending to ignore that sinking feeling in her stomach. His hand reached out and tilted her chin so she was looking directly into his hazel eyes. "Are you jealous?" He looked dumb-founded. "No." She said, a bit too loudly. ~ ☆Please read, VOTE and COMMENT☆ (My writing stinks in the earlier parts, but I promise it gets better afterwards :D)
