"Don't you understand? He loves her." James said, throwing his hands up in frustration. 

Lily stopped walking, and he stopped a few steps ahead of her. 
"She knows." Lily said, her head bowed. "She knows that he loves her." 

He turned around to face her and she looked straight into his eyes, which held a melancholy kind of longing. She knew it was now or never. She couldn't lose him. Not now, not ever. She had promised to herself that she wouldn't let him go. 
"And she loves him too."

 

There were many reasons why James Potter and Lily Evans fell in love. And Harry was just one of those reasons. No, it was not their son Harry James Potter. It was just Harry. 

Ever wondered why James and Lily named their son Harry? Maybe, they too, like Harry, decided to name their child after someone. But who was this Harry they named their son after? Read on to find out.

A sweet and fluffy (and angsty, who could forget? but if you've been reading my fics long enough you know i can't write a fic without the angst) fic in which the Marauders realize love isn't quite as far away as they assumed. // 2018

It's Always Been You (James Potter x Reader) by everythingisromant1c

You've known golden-boy James Potter for as long as you can remember. Though you don't just know him-he's your very best friend. But there's just one problem: you've fallen deeply, madly in love with him. Or two problems, if you count his thing for your friend Lily Evans. As time goes by, all you want is to get over him. Although, James seems set on making that the most impossible challenge of them all.

Fate of Fangs, Claws, and Hearts | Marauders Fanfic / Part 1 by Lithil-RaVen

This is the story of a monster. The story of a girl who doesn't know who or even what she is. A tale where two monsters fall in love and must overcome their darkest fears. But the wizarding world wouldn't be the wizarding world without a new and dangerous enemy rising to the challenge. This is also the story of a serpent determined to bring down the king of the beasts - and the lion is just as eager to strike back. They say opposites attract, but in this case, the saying "those who fight often love each other most" might be more accurate. Just be careful: it's wiser to keep such thoughts to yourself, or you may find their wrath directed at you. Interwoven with these tales is a third story. So obvious, it almost doesn't need mentioning. Yet James Potter would never forgive me if his Lily Evans weren't given a mention in this blurb. Step into an adventure that begins on a fateful full moon night. In this fanfiction, there's no room for boredom, and I promise you, at least one character will steal your heart. *** Pairings/POVs: Remus x OC (1) Sirius x OC (2) James x Lily #friendstolovers #enemiestolovers

Bookish-Remus lupin by artistic_coward

This is the story of the girl who fell in love with the wolf. Her brother being Sirius Black. Syd and Sirius battle their way from a household of hell and find where they should truly be. Remus, however, finds himself changing from a bookish nerd to a ruggid, bookish, nerd. His confidence increases slowly as does his infatuation with Sydra. Little does he know she feels the same for him. Trigger warning: graphic details of violence, sexual references, sex, language. Remus lupin x female OC lots of couple drama and very slow burn. I ONLY POST ON WATTPAD!!! NO WHERE ELSE BECAUSE THEY SCARE ME! All characters aside from my own OCs belong to JK Rowling. I do not support JK Rowling whatsoever.

"I don't know what you're all upset about Lily," Marlene said carefully, "This whole dance was your idea. You did know that dances require dates, right? And you've turned down several boys ... I figured you had a plan or something ... " In response, Lily just moaned, and threw her face back down into the pillow, "I did." Marlene raised an eyebrow, "Well, what happened then?" Lily pulled herself up into a sitting position, clearly about to go into a serious rant. "This dance," she sighed, "was going to be my way to ... well... ugh it doesn't even matter Marlene, he asked someone else." "Who!?" Marlene demanded, unsure of what to think, but despite the indications that Lily longed to rant, the redhead didn't answer. "You designed this entire dance just to get one boy to ask you out?" Mary realized, raising an eyebrow at her friend, impressed by the girl's ambition... ~ Lily designed a whole school dance so the boy she likes can ask her out. When he instead asks another girl, she must use the marauders and her friend Marlene to create the ultimate prank on James and make him jealous in return.

A Marauder's Guide to Falling in Love by alliegrl

"So if its words that you are looking for McKinnon, I am fluently gifted with the art of speaking. But I'd much rather spend every day showing you exactly how I feel, knowing that you're mine and that we belong together." Its Marlene's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she wants nothing more than to pass Transfiguration in which she is hopelessly failing. But her struggle to improve her grades means crossing paths with fellow student Sirius Black, who just so happens to be ridiculously attractive, arrogant, and unfortunately her best bet to acing the class. She doesn't know why Sirius has suddenly taken interest in helping her, but accepting his assistance doesn't come without consequences. Her best friend Lily Evans seems to think that there is something more to the relationship than meets the eye, but Marlene has convinced herself that she does not like Sirius in that way. However, things get a little complicated when her feelings become conflicted, and it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin wondering if Lily was right all along. Finally admitting to herself that her feelings for Sirius are more than just platonic, she must decide which path to choose. Suddenly, she no longer just has Transfiguration to worry about; she must untangle the complications of her love life and finally tell Sirius exactly how she feels.

Her mission does not come without its risks; she has been warned that with curiosity comes great cost.

At last she has found her place in the world, and she will forever fight the darkness, or die trying. Highest rank: #2 Blackinnon 12.19.2020

Undying Love (A Jily Fanfiction) by Hyped_fangirl

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)

A Marauder's Guide to Falling Together by alliegrl

"I have a more personal question," she ignored his arrogance. Watching him had sparked a new interest that seemed to overpower any interest she had in their previous conversation. "Oh?" he seemed surprised but didn't allow it to affect his composure. "Go ahead then." "Why me?" "I beg your pardon?" Sirius seemed confused. Marlene felt embarrassed asking it but it wouldn't be the first time it had danced around in her head. Sirius was the type of guy that could have any girl he wanted. He was smart, funny, immeasurably handsome, and he bloody well knew it. Though he was bit egotistical at times, his hot headedness had seemed to settle down immensely from the boy she had known from fifth and sixth year. "Of all the girls you could have picked from, you chose me. I want to know why." Sirius was looking at her funny - it was not quite the reaction she had been expecting. "Of all the girls I could have picked from. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Isn't it obvious?" * It's Marlene's seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she has graduated from blundering student to emotional train wreck. She knew that seventh year was going to be challenging, but she never imagined that N.E.W.T.s would be the least of her worries. The pressure of suppressing her emotions begins to take its toll, and it's only a matter of time before she breaks. She knows that she must tell Sirius how she truly feels if they ever stand a chance. As she struggles to win Sirius back, dark forces continue to loom over Hogwarts. Suddenly, Marlene finds herself immersed in something unexpected; threatening everything she knows and loves. Relationships blossom, alliances are formed, and adventures continue as Marlene and her friends enjoy their last moments before the war. They must rely on one another to fight the darkness, and together she and Sirius may just have a fighting chance after all. Highest Rank: #1 Blackinnon 03.13.21
