CURRENTLY BEING EDITED & UPDATED (sorry for any inconsistencies in the next few weeks!!)

(slow updates??)

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗣𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦, 
𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡 𝗝𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗘! 

If there were two things Madeline was sure of, it was the fact that love didn't exist and anyone who believed in it was a complete idiot.

So when a pompous, loud-mouth Gryffindor makes an extravagant and "romantical" gesture towards the girl of his dreams, Madeline can't help but school him on the difference between love and infatuation. 

What she didn't expect was to almost die as a consequence at the hands of four Gryffindor troublemakers, a (sorta-kinda?) poorly brewed potion, an annoyingly perky first year and a goblet full of sweet, sweet revenge.

But hey, what's a love story without a little potion making and pumpkin juice?

"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. Can they really pull it off? ~ Ships: JamesxLily RemusxMary SiriusxMarlene (I would have loved to have done wolfstar but Sirius and Marlene was already written into it) 34k words so sort of slow burn (no smut sorry lol), but it happens over the span of 10 days so.. idk ~ Achievements so far (thank you!!): #1 in Blackinnon #1 in JamesxLily #1 in LilyxJames #3 in Jilyfanfiction #9 in Jily First seven chapters written by @starfishbeliever on fan fiction.net and the rest was completed by me :)o

⚠️ warning⚠️ -may have bad language -⚠️Also, if you are triggered by such topics as anxiety, underage/ teen drinking/ Alcohol, depression or ptsd I don't recommend you read this, there are also a few violent scenes which I have added warnings leading up to them⚠️ I do not own the Harry Potter characters, I do however own my oc and any other ocs I decide to add Disclaimer "Warner Bros. Entertainment and J.K. Rowling are not associated with this content" James Potter, quidditch player, prankster and a well known heart throb. However he is also known as annoying, obsessed and arrogant by one person in particular. Lily Evans had met James Potter in her first year and he quickly developed a crush on her, she tried to ignore him and insisted his attention would move elsewhere in time, however when this happens, she wishes she hadn't jinxed it. James Potter met her on the platform with Lily Evans, on his way to Hogwarts for his third year, she was gorgeous no one could hold a candle to her in his eyes. He asked Marlene Mckinnon, a friend of Lily's, who the girl was and he was surprised by the answer. Rosetta Evans, Lily's two year younger sister, was very different from her older sister; she was distant, quiet, caring and she despised attention, which would prove to be an issue. How does James win over the girl he is so obsessed with let's go back in time and find out. Also includes Wolfstar, you have been warned :-D Impressive ranks: #2 - petuniadursley - 28/10/22 #1 - jamespotterxoc - 13/4/23 #5 - opposites - 31/3/24 #1 - rosetta - 30/8/21 #1 - jamespotter- 3/5/22 #1 - marlenemckinnon - 3/10/21 #4 - ocstory- 19/6/23 #1- roseevans- 13/4/23 #1 - evans- 11/11/22 #6 - lilyevans- 20/11/21 #2 - marauders - 11/12/21 #25 - gryffindor - 28/2/22 #1 - regulusblack - 15/3/22 #1 - severus- 6/5/22 #2 - maraudersfanfiction -11/1/24 #3 - potter - 14/5/23

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. Regulus, however, is not quite the same, see he does have feelings for James, he has done since he started Hogwarts but he had made peace with the fact that he would never compare to Lily Evans. How will this story of theirs pan out in the end? Ngl guys this fic has wayy more smut than i intended it to have so...take that as you will WARNING: this fic IS tagged Major Character Death, this fic is loosely canon compliant, just be ware! TRIGGER WARNINGS: This story does contain mentions of abuse, torture, self harm and obviously depictions of war times, if you find any of these distressing please take care of yourselves when reading and know your limits of what you can and can't handle, remember everyone is different and even if it is simply fiction it can still be triggering, what is important is you looking after yourselves <3 DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS BUT THESE IDEAS ARE MINE

Limerence | A James & Lily Story

34 parts Complete

I take her head in my hands, and do what I've been wanting to do for as long as I can remember- I press my lips to her. It's better than I could have ever dreamed it would be. Her lips are soft and mold perfectly to mine. The smell of vanilla is so overwhelming it's staggering, but I can't bring myself to care because it smells like Lily. I'm kissing Lily Evans. This a kind of sequel to my story Ephemeral. It's the same story just through James' point of view. (Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, other than the ones I make up. All rights remain to J.K. Rowling.) *Also, language is worse in this book than my other one because the marauders had potty mouths.* Story through Lily's eyes: Ephemeral by Episkeyyy
