Family Politics Thanks to Shahid who came up with the phrase "family politics". It's the first I've heard of such a term, anyway. |

Murder On The Hogwarts Express What Dumbledore said to James is similar to what he said to Harry in DH, in the chapter King's Cross, but it wasn't exactly the same.Thanks to Daniee for you-know-what and as ever to Stacey for beta'ing. |

Wishful Thinking OK, to make up for submitting the last chapter so late, I've decided to post this one a wee bit early. I don't think I'll ever be entirely happy with this chapter, but I thought, again, I needed to ease the tension a bit. It's still there, though. :) |

Hogsmeade Visits And Hiccupping Hearts As always, ta to Alex and Stacey for beta'ing this. I enjoyed writing this chapter. (Is that wrong?) Lily has just realised that maybe, just maybe, she might actually fancy James Potter. Will anything happen? Read to find out! |

Facta Non Verba Here's the next chapter, folks!! Kian Robinson has just died. How are James, Lily and the crew going to deal with the investigation after his death? |

Cinderella OK, so for once I haven't left you with a cliffhanger. The preparations for the pantomime, Cinderella, are in full swing. How will James deal with Lily's estrangement, and just who are Lily and Sirius playing in the play? |

Vicious Circles So Maria Alessio was last heard screaming, just moments after James and Lily had established that they do indeed have feelings for each other. What will happen next? Read to find out! But, fair warning — towards the end of the chapter, there is a mature theme which some may find rather upsetting. If that is the case, it’s better for you (and me) that you don’t read it. Also, there will be some strong language from the outset. |

Memories In this chapter, now definitely my least favourite, I think it’ll get the most kissy-kissy — barely any, in other words. Just for the record, there will never be any sexual situation in this story, which is why I don't have that warning. James has just witnessed what no seventeen-year-old should ever have to see. How is he going to deal with it? And what will happen to his new-found relationship with Lily? Read to find out!As always, cheers to Alex and Stacey for their much-valued beta’ing. This chapter in particular would be even crapper than it is now without them. |

Sanat Vulnera So Katie Montague and Aiden Avery definitely seem dirty. How are James and Lily going to deal with it? And just what terrible news has Marlene received? Read to find out!Ta to Alex and Stacey for beta’ing. |

Ambush Now, Mulciber and Regulus also look suspicious, thanks to the debacle with Sirius in that corridor. What’s Lily and James’ plan now? Read to find out!A huge, huge thank you to Stacey and Alex for their much-appreciate beta’ing. |

Sectumsempra OK, so Lily, James and Marlene have tried to ambush the Slytherins, but it seems they need a better plan than what they’ve currently got. Will they come up with something more foolproof this time? Which one of Lily’s classmates is seriously injured in this chapter? And what nasty surprise lies in wait for Marlene at breakfast?As always, a massive thank you goes to Stacey and Alex for beta’ing. |

Eternal Lapse Here it is. The moment you’ve all been waiting for — I'm sure. The end of the road, etc, etc. They’ve arrived to rescue Professor Frensham, but things don't quite go as hastily planned...read to find out!Thank you so much for beta’ing, Alex and Stacey. |

Epilogue — Blood, Sweat and Tears This is it, people! The end of the journey, at long last. If you want some background music while reading this, I recommend You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson. This epilogue is (sort-of) influenced on the lyrics — I wrote it, and then listened to MJ, saw how similar the epilogue was to the song and basically based the epilogue on the lyrics. I, of course, do not own the song — the great MJ does.A final thank you to my two brilliant betas, Alex and Stacey, for their much-needed help re spelling, grammar, unnecessary commas and sentences that really didn't make sense. |
