Who knew the love story of James Potter and Lily Evans started with a sweater?

The Marauders' seventh year had just begun, and Lily Evans was already hanging by a thread. Her ex-best friend had been causing her raucous, and the year had barely started. In the previous year, Severus Snape humiliated Lily by calling her a Mudblood in front of everyone. But Snape confused her. When he tried to talk to her in private, he'd be begging for forgiveness. But when they discussed his apology in public, he'd insult her in front of his friends.

But Lily knew her worth. And she wanted revenge.

She devised a plan with a close friend of hers; James Potter, the boy who had had a rivalry with Snape ever since they met. And what better way to anger Snape than to date his rival? 

This plan consisted of James' Gryffindor Quidditch sweater, and Lily figured she should wear it around. James and Lily agreed that they'd keep up this act until he'd leave her alone, and it worked. Snape had fallen for it, but Lily would soon realize he wouldn't be the only one.

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?

"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.
