[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!

James and Lily have been secretly dating since June, and only Sirius and Dorcas know about. But when the friend groups get detention to clean the Room of Requirements, things get out of hand. Can James and Lily make it out of the punishment without Snape finding out?

James and Lily have had an on and off relationship for the past 5 years. They're so different, because James likes Quidditch while Lily likes books. That could be a reason why they never really got along, but are they so different after all?

Jily fan fiction. You know the drill..

Based in their fifth year when Snape calls Lily a mudblood.

When Ron calls Hermione a mudblood, there's only one person she can turn to.
