It's sixth year at Hogwarts, and our favorite group of Gryffindors plan to make it their most chaotic year yet. Amidst the endless scheming, will one such Gryffindor endeavor to use that master mind of his to win the heart of a certain red head? 

This is a Jily and Marauder's fanfic that is ~mostly~ canon compliant spanning their sixth year at Hogwarts. The POV's flip back and forth between Lily and James. Look out for some serious side shipping, a seemingly never-ending barrage of pranks, and friends that are actually family. 

How many times will I change the description for this story? The limit does not exist. Anyways get your little Jily hearts ready my lovely readers❤️ 

***Also I apologize if sometimes chapters that are already published are "republished" and notify you, I am writing and editing this by myself and on rereads I occasionally will catch an error and fix it. Thank you for being patient, and thanks for taking a chance on me and reading my writing, every time someone comments or favorites it absolutely makes my day. Love you!**

*strong language, violence, explicit sexual content* 


*I neither own nor have created any of the canon facts/characters of the Harry Potter universe*

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

"So we're alone," he said slowly. "That's a thoughtful observation," she whispered. She could feel her fingertips tremble slightly as they clasped around his hair. She didn't know why she suddenly felt so nervous. She moved her hands and allowed her fingers to trail slowly and gently down the side of his face and he involuntarily shivered at her touch. Eventually her fingers landed on his lips and she traced across them softly. They parted slightly and she could hear and feel him let out what she assumed to be an unintentional breath. He moved inwards, his lips pulling from her fingertips to hover near her ear. "I'm a thoughtful person." * After getting accepted into the Healer training program and moving to London, Marlene begins her life outside of Hogwarts. Despite the looming dangers of war, she has a pretty decent life; she has friends who care about her, a boyfriend who loves her, and the determination to keep fighting for a life worth living. But it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin questioning her choices. As the world is falling apart around her, so are her relationships and any certainty that she once had. Except for Sirius; the only certainty she has left in the world. However, war only seems to be threatening to tear them apart. She can't quite put her finger on what has started changing, but something certainly has, and love may not be enough to get her through it this time. It is only a matter of time before Marlene must make the most important choice of all; join the war or fall apart.

"Oh Lily, you really are amazing, you know that?" Lily sighed, same old James he was probably going to ask her out again in 3... 2... 1.... and... Nothing. Huh, she thought to herself, maybe he really has changed. James looked back at Lily and grinned, she quickly looked away and his face fell. I need to get her out of my head, he thought, she doesn't like me anymore, end of. No point in going after a girl who hates you anymore, who knows how much time we all have left. The door opened, and they both looked up. Prefects started filling the room, ready to start the new school year. Lily smiled professionally and James mimicked her, greeting and congratulating the other students. Before Lily started to speak, she took a last glance at James. He smiled slightly, his small dimples made him look so innocent and adorable. She breathed in and looked down at the paper in front of her, one thought protruding out from the rest, I will not fall in love with James Potter. --- In their final year at Hogwarts, Voldemort is on the rise, luckily though, Hogwarts is still safe... mostly. James and Lily are finally civil but Lily finds herself feeling something more that she can't keep denying. Remus is drowning himself in school work, blaming the upcoming NEWTs, but Sirius isn't convinced, could there be another reason for his constant avoidance? Meanwhile, a new arrival in school has easily made friends with all her fellow Gryffindors... except Marlene: determined to befriend the newbie, Marlene insists on spending more and more time with her. There could be more to all these friendships, but with the stress of NEWTS and a potential war on the horizon, will love blossom, or is it too dangerous to keep loved ones close? Mainly Jily, but wolfstar and Marlene x fem!oc slowburn fluff as secondary love plot lines :)

"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

"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

The Order of Mischief II (Marauders)

36 parts Complete

[EDITED] SECOND YEAR AT HOGWARTS --- Seven years at Hogwarts is enough to create the most loyal of friendships that will last a whole lifetime, or enemies that will try to outlive you. The daughters of the House of Zion find themselves standing alongside strangers in their first year, only to later be split apart as they are placed in the four different houses. Because of their shared blood, the girls frequently meet up and attract the attention of their schoolmates, and eventually that of the Marauders. From first year to seventh year, James Potter and his friends (the Marauders) gather to become the most popular group of boys, all whilst pulling pranks on their peers. As they grow up, some of their friendships fail to maintain platonic and become romantic, even with the most unexpected of people. But with the threat and worry of Lord Voldemort gaining power, the Zion's and Marauders find themselves in tricky situations, where they question their loyalties and priorities. From discovering their own powers, trading secrets and inventing foolish pranks, to fighting to save the world and protecting all that they love and care for, the group learn they are no longer children and have to give up more than they anticipated they would ever have to. --- Writing Dates: November 1, 2023 - July 9, 2024
