Chapter 1James Potter did not know what to do with his life. He did not know what new subjects he would take up in fifth year; nor did he know what he wanted to be when he grew up (although he had a vague idea that included broomsticks and Quaffles). One thing he was very certain of was what he wanted to eat for dinner; and to him, that was enough. James Potter preferred living life one step at a time. It was more exciting that way, and besides, knowing and planning about the future meant sucking the fun out of everything.
Lily Evans, on the contrary, knew what she was going to do with her life. Well, she didn't know exactly what she was going to be –seeing as she was just 11 years old- but she knew with no small amount of certainty that she was going to be someone productive, someone who made a difference. Lily Evans wasn't one who lets nature take its course; she was one who changed it.
Their personalities aside, their family backgrounds were even more different. James Potter was a pureblood who grew up surrounded and infused with magic. He knew all about the Ministry of Magic, he knew he would go to Hogwarts in September, it would be rather safe to say, in fact, that he knew more than other children of his age about magic.

Lily Evans- well, she was a muggle. Born into a cosy family of four, there was no further she could get away from magic. But she knew there was something else -someone else- inside of her, being stifled, which was struggling to get out. She knew it wasn't a coincidence that all the explosions and queer happenings occurred whenever she got mad. She knew, that there was another reason.
And so, it came as no surprise to both of them when the letter to Hogwarts arrived at their doorstep, one day in July. However, it did come as a surprise when they first meet on September the first. After all, with two so very different personalities, it was inevitable that sparks would fly when they enrolled in the same school. But there is something to be said about opposites attracting...
