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.

A series of one shots about how James asked out Lily.

What I'm doing here is taking the Marauders' (James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter), Lily Evans', and Severus Snape's tales of Hogwarts and I'm turning them modern because I don't know what it would've been like when they were actually there so... yeah. This is mostly in the point of view of Lily Evans, but I might switch to James every now and then. I'm going to try and focus a lot of the Marauders, of course, and their relationships with Lily. And of course, Lily's relationship with Snape because let's be honest, we all ship it a little bit! This takes place in their sixth year so.... enjoy! COVER CREDIT GOES TO @HEROIQUES THANK YOU SO MUCH!

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! :)
