"In some religions, the lilypad's flower represents purity, innocence, and resurrection. A beautiful creation of God, but surrounded by a body of water that holds all sorts of dangers. Peculiar, indeed."
When a detective from the London police station goes missing, Inspector Edwardson of Scotland Yard is tasked with finding him. Originally thought to be a publicity stunt for the puzzlement of the newspapers, he soon finds that this may very well be the grimmest case England has ever seen.

The Life Of Lily Wilkinson (ENG)
A seemingly ordinary and boring life. No one knows, who is going through what, until we delve deeper into it or when the person allows themselves to be known. Life... So seemingly ordinary and boring... On the other hand, it hides deep despair, regret, sadness and suffering. The story tells about a young woman who, together with her beloved husband by her side, tries to survive the remaining time she has been given. From the beginning of her existence, she had a hard time and when it seemed that she was getting better, life again decided to mock her. But will this time the woman be strong enough to get up again? What's even worse that could happen? A book similar to the category, "More Than Anything", or "Before You Go". I think fans will like this story as well.

In choosing not to attend Hogwarts, Lily was safe, or so she so naïvely thought. In reality she was merely in the eye of the abhorrent storm... After Lily Evans, the 'Muggleborn Phenomenon' spread throughout Britain like an epidemic, dragging down the wizarding population and leaving Muggleborns like Lily unprotected and vulnerable; waiting bait for Death Eaters known as 'Snatchers', to steal them away in the night under enigmatic circumstances, never to be seen again... James Potter knew this, of course (he knew perhaps too much for his own good) and so over the years he demised a plan, a plan to find Lily Evans before a Snatcher got there first and show her the beauty of wizarding world before it was too late... ~*~*~* ❝𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭, 𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵.❞ ~*~*~ Cover made by @actuallyamarauder 1st place Potterhead Challenge (03/21) 1st place The Nyctophiles Fanfic Awards (05/09/21) #1 lames (19/07/21) #5 lilyandjames (15/11/21) #1 flowerpot (21/09/21) #2 wormtail (10/09/20)Complete
