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 your eyes found in a crowd; someone whose smile left behind a trail of butterflies and broken hearts; a girl who could learn to love just about anyone...
Except for one person.
James bloody Potter.
After an incident on their first train to Hogwarts that spiralled 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, after 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 how much she's willing to give up for it. And James must determine which is more important: the girl of his dreams or the girl 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 a man who promised himself to one but would forever love another. 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.
