Chase the Light | James Potter

If there was anyone Eleanor hated most in the world, it was James Potter. So, now she's wondering how the hell she ended up dating him.

---

ELEANOR BRIGGET was a force to be reckoned with. Powerful, pretty, and with a personality that could set off firecrackers, everyone she'd ever met could say she had left them with something to be remembered. She was the type of person who you looked for in a crowd; someone who was always surrounded by tons of people, and a girl who got along with just about everyone...

Except for one person.

James bloody Potter.

After an incident on their first train to Hogwarts that spiraled out of control, Eleanor swore that she would hate the boy forever and that sentiment only grew stronger when he started harassing her best friend, Lily Evans, for a date.

But, when the start of their sixth-year crescents on the horizon and Lily rejects James for the last time, he goes to Eleanor, desperate and with the craziest plan of his life: fake dating.

With a future darkened by war, mysterious, magical entities forcing their way into her dreams, and an arrogant, messy-haired boy whom she is starting to love, Eleanor will have to choose what she truly wants and decide how much she is willing to give up. And James will have to decide which is more important: the girl of his dreams or the girl who he has already fallen for.

At long last, this is the story of how two people, who once thought of the other as the scum of the earth, began living for the light they saw in each other, even when that light burned too bright. This is the story of how a woman fell in love with a man forever promised to her best friend. This is a story of a silly, little girl who wanted nothing more than to chase the light.

Who wanted nothing more than the one and only James Potter.
