He looks up, and those hazel eyes pierce mine. I don't look away because the seriousness in his gaze holds me there. "Lily, I love you."

Portraits of a Flower in Bloom | Jily by jamseypotter

"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 :)

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)

The moon and The Star by deatmat

Two boys. One with a supposedly perfect nerdy life and living out his college years in a flat he shares with his two best friends, astronomy PhD and a life full of wonders ahead of him. The other, the most punk rock person at Hogwarts college (as he'll tell you), amazing painting skills and a heart that's still too broken to heal. They could not be farther apart in the social chain. Either acts like they want anything to do with the other. One drunken text changes that all. When Remus receives a text from someone he's never met who goes by the name of 'Padfoot' things start to change in his life. Caught in a love triangle, and still dealing with the issues of his past, things get confusing. -Wolfstar texting AU -Previously apart of wolfstar one shots book Warnings: Drinking, memory loss, swearing and some suggestive language.

Losing Game/// James Potter by gryffinpufffffff

"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." "Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. "But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. "But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

Unbroken Love (James Potter) by that_snakey_queen

Y/N Evans have always been inlove with her best friend James. So offcoarse she is broken when he started dating her sister Lily. A lot happens which either breaks them or brings them closer. "Why don't you just tell him you love him?" Sirius asks me. "The same reason you don't tell Remus that you love him." He shrugs and started laughing when I threw him with popcorn. ⚠️17+⚠️ TW (I dont own any of the HP characters, this is only a fanfic)

1] For Island Fires and Family |Harry Potter Fanfiction| Jily by decrepitkneecaps

When Lily realised she was falling for James Potter; and not as a friend. ----- ❝James's undying faith was something to die for, was what they were fighting for in the first place and it made Lily more than glad to know that it still remained; a blooming flower in a wilting garden.❞ ----- "How did you know what he was worried about?" she asked, the Daily Prophet's newspaper that morning on her mind. James shrugged lazily. "Caught him this afternoon in the Charms Corridor like this. He talked about it." She felt her lips say the words before she could filter them in her head; "You're amazing." His hazel eyes twinkled behind his glasses. "Careful, Evans, you might just be warming up to me." ---- This is a one shot prequel to my story Skyfall, tells Lily's point of view before Voldemort and dying, because we don't get to see her at all in Skyfall. Explains how James survived a Killing Curse -if you're smart and squint. Featuring Dark Lords and Death Eaters' wands producing ducks whenever they cast a spell thanks to the genius mind of one Sirius Black because it's 1a.m. and I saw the idea on Tumblr and couldn't let the opportunity slide, also I wholeheartedly believe it's canon. Sue me. This isn't edited, I literally wrote this in one day but I love it with all my heart. Word count: 10,000 words.

Wolfstar Oneshots by vsparkle11

The title says it all! Wolfstar oneshots - maybe some headcanons. Please, no hateful/disrespectful comments! If I see that, I will block you! However, feel free to correct or point out any grammatical mistakes I make! If you don't agree with a detail that I write, you can say something, but that doesn't mean I'll change it. I'd rather not get into a huge argument over something as simple as the color of someone's eyes. Hope you enjoy! Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, settings, etc. All credit goes to the amazing JK Rowling! I also do not own any fanart! I wish I were that artistic!
