Lily Evans has always been able to see the good in everybody she meets.
Everybody except for James Potter
Ever since she began her journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she has hated James Potter's guts. Him and his friends always caused trouble, and she wouldn't have anything of it. And not to mention, every time he laid eyes on her he would come up with a new way of asking her out. But, of course, there was no way in Merlin that Lily Evans would fancy James Potter. Never, in a million...
That was, until they arrived at their sixth year at Hogwarts. Lily's ability to see the good in everybody now extended to the one and only James Potter.
But, Lily was seeing too much good in him for her own good. What was she supposed to do when her worst nightmare came true? Was she really going to let herself become friends with her life long arch nemesis, or even potentially more?
Rated Mature for strong language.

LONG FIC // COMPLETE Fifth Year has rolled around for the Marauders at Hogwarts. However, this year is a bit different because a certain Marauder; James Potter, has found himself in quite the puzzle You see, James is stuck between Lily Evans, who he thought was the only one for him, and a certain dark haired Slytherin boy, one he never thought he would ever have anything to do with given that this particular Slytherin is a relative of his best friend. See this Slytherin is none other than Fourth Year Regulus Black. James had never seen anything in Regulus before but this year is different. This year Regulus is...attractive.

"Whatcha arguing about there, girls?" "Your dear sister here has a little crush." "I don't." "Your Gryffindor supporting cheeks tell me otherwise." ☆•★•☆ If there was anything (y/n) knew, it was that the Black twins weren't people to mess with. How did she know this? She was one of them. In fact, (y/n) knew a lot of things. For one, she knew that neither her or Sirius would ever be welcome in the Black household ever again. Secondly, she knew that if she studied hard enough, she could pass her NEWTs with flying colours and third, she knew that finally, her best friend Lily Evans had developed feelings for James Potter. Fourth, she knew that she could probably get on the quidditch team this year with James as captain and finally, she knew that Peter had been the first Marauder to apologise to Snivellus. What she didn't know, however, was why she wanted to spend more time with Remus all of a sudden... [top rank: #1 remusxreader December 2018] Remastered on @cherrywine_x : completed!!Complete
