[EDITING]

"Evans!" James grinned, strutting towards her. "Fancy seeing you here, and I'm here too, with you-not with you-but both of us... at Hogsmeade."

"Bloody hell," she muttered, withdrawing from her hiding place. The loud thwack of her head colliding with the wood of the table cut through the bubbly pub.

James let out a snort, flung his cloak lazily onto a chair across from her and sank down into it, sipping happily at his butterbeer. "Whatever were you doing down there, Evans?" He raised his eyebrows suggestively.

"Shove off, Potter..."

James Potter was an intolerable prick. A dim-witted, egotistical toerag who wasn't worth Lily's time. Well, unless, in the case of a good telling-off, that was very much worth it. This was true right up until the last few weeks of fifth year when her whole life was flipped on her head, and she was left to work out what in Merlin's name to do with it.

What happens when falls in love with a certain redhead. Get Ready For A ~Sexy~ 'Guys. Cut the crap about who's more sexier' Remus shooted snapping him out of staring at Lily. 'I am thinking of asking someone out' 'And?' Sirius asked. 'I don't care unless padfoot admits I am way more sexier than him.' Sirius snorted. James huffed. 'Guys when I asked to cut the crap I meant it. I think I have a crush on this girl and afraid she might reject me.' 'Ooh little wemsy has a cwushy cwush ooh' Sirius cooed. ~Legendary~ 'I am bored. This week has been boring as hell.' Remus yawned. 'We raided honeydukes yesterday..' 'Yeah that was awesome but at an amateur level. We really need to do something that we will be remembered for.. something, I don't know.. legendary.' 'We could climb Mount Everest?' Scorpius suggested. Remus rolled his eyes. 'I said something legendary not something stupid.' ~Romantic~ She just smiled. Watching her smile, Scorpius's heart skipped a beat. 'Let me walk you to your dorm. You need some sleep.' She nodded.

"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 :)

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: I don't call eyes 'orbs' You love Jily enough to search for fanfics - James Potter and Lily Evans, two of the most talked-about people in Hogwarts. Their relationship was interesting, the cute green-eyed girl calling out insults at the cheeky Gryffindor seeker, the handsome boy always teasing the nerd and asking her out, meeting a defiant refusal every time. In Lily's eyes, Potter was just another boy who is arrogant, annoying and rude. However, with a startling turn of events, she may find out that James Potter is more than he meets the eye. James Potter regards himself as just another player. Lily Evans was merely another challenge. That girl frustrated him by being completely oblivious to his charms. How will he be able to win her over? Is it possible that Lily will be James' saving grace, pull him out into the light? On the other hand, can James break through Lily's mental shields and love her irrevocably, giving her the security and comfort she had never experienced before? For all we know, love is an interesting thing, changing lives long before we were born. Combined with magic, the lives of Lily Evans and James Potter are about to be changed. Excerpt: "You kissed me back." He finally broke the silence. "I did not!" "You did, I can tell." "Yeah, thinking about how much experience you've had with kissing girls just warms my heart." Lily folded her arms and looked away, fully aware that she was acting like a stubborn child, and fully intending to ignore that sinking feeling in her stomach. His hand reached out and tilted her chin so she was looking directly into his hazel eyes. "Are you jealous?" He looked dumb-founded. "No." She said, a bit too loudly. ~ ☆Please read, VOTE and COMMENT☆ (My writing stinks in the earlier parts, but I promise it gets better afterwards :D)

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?

"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

This is the story of a monster. The story of a girl who doesn't know who or even what she is. A tale where two monsters fall in love and must overcome their darkest fears. But the wizarding world wouldn't be the wizarding world without a new and dangerous enemy rising to the challenge. This is also the story of a serpent determined to bring down the king of the beasts - and the lion is just as eager to strike back. They say opposites attract, but in this case, the saying "those who fight often love each other most" might be more accurate. Just be careful: it's wiser to keep such thoughts to yourself, or you may find their wrath directed at you. Interwoven with these tales is a third story. So obvious, it almost doesn't need mentioning. Yet James Potter would never forgive me if his Lily Evans weren't given a mention in this blurb. Step into an adventure that begins on a fateful full moon night. In this fanfiction, there's no room for boredom, and I promise you, at least one character will steal your heart. *** Pairings/POVs: Remus x OC (1) Sirius x OC (2) James x Lily #friendstolovers #enemiestolovers
