After graduating Hogwarts, Lily finds herself quietly fighting the First Wizarding War from an Order of the Phoenix safe house in Scotland as a potions mistress. As the war escalates, Lily and James learn about love, fear, and what it means to grow up.

None of them could have predicted the ending but then again, none of them had thought it would start out the way it had. They were kids fighting in a war but somewhere along the line, they realised they wouldn't have it any other way.

Nothing's fair in love and war anymore. xx The sixth and seventh years. JPLE, MMSB, RLSB

Lily Evans in no way fancied James Potter, that was a fact. The pair becoming friends was shock enough but Lily having an actual crush on him? Hell would have to freeze over first...at least that's what she thought.

The year is 1976. The summer before James Potter and Lily Evans started their final year at Hogwarts. Among chaos and heartbreak this is where their whole relationship all began...

There are lots of ways to introduce oneself to a new neighbour, but breaking into their flat, perhaps, is a road less travelled.

James remembered. Lily didn't want to remember. It was 1976 and everyone was going a bit mad.

Or ninety-nine times James asked Lily out and the one time she asked him. It's James and Lily's seventh year of Hogwarts, and they're growing closer. But also growing is the threat of dark forces—is there time for romance when death is just around the corner? Art by Viria.

Before Harry, before Godric's Hollow, before the Dark Lord was defied three times... Lily Evans and James Potter discovered that neither of them were what the other had expected, and embarked on a relationship that would change the world as they knew it.

James and Lily: Their story from the end of fifth year until their graduation. Rated M for mild violence. *Crossposted on AO3

Lily hates James. James likes Lily. What made things change between them? Who else was a part of their story? What happened during those three times of defying Lord Voldemort? Who else was involved in their end? Written Post-DH, treat as Post-HBP

Before Harry, before Godric's Hollow, before the Dark Lord was defied three times... Lily Evans and James Potter discovered that neither of them were what the other had expected, and embarked on a relationship that would change the world as they knew it.

For those of you who have always wanted a story that kept as close to canon as possible, included the banter and budding romance of Lily and James, numerous famous marauders pranks and the upcoming war against Purebloods and Muggleborns. For those of you who wanted to see how Lily and James traversed from enemies to husband and wife.

Between ages 16 and 18 Lily goes through many changes in her relationships, and in realising her place in the world. James/Lily with onesided Severus/Lily. Will be rated M for a reason.

A hasty decision and a bet they never should have agreed to result in James and Lily spending a lot more time together in October of their 7th year than they ever anticipated. A story of growing up, identity, and falling in love.

After all this time? Always. The friendship of Severus Snape and Lily Evans. (Eventual James/Lily)

"James," Lily said suddenly. He looked at her, a broad grin still spread across his face. "Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" A series of one-shots about James and Lily in their 7th year.

In their final two years at school, the marauders begin to realise that nothing stays the same forever. Love is blossoming, NEWTs are coming up, the threat of war grows ever closer, and as their time together at Hogwarts draws to a close, difficult decisions about the future must be made. James/Lily Remus/Sirius

I love my parents. They should be happy and have friends. But when your parents become best friends with the mother of James Potter, your annoying, lazy, infuriating, arrogant, childish prat of an ex-boyfriend, and invite them to spend the Christmas holidays with your family, you start to question the relativity of happiness. Right before you lose your sanity, of course.

Lily despised James and all of his mannerisms. James hated how she was always so uptight. But with head duties, common friends, and a curious Divination seminar, neither of them is ready to look at each other the same way again. Marauders Era, 7th Year.

As the first war gathers steam, Lily and James work to build a life together, while Lucius and Narcissa's fragile world collapses. Severus copes with the consequences of his choices, and Peter encounters a temptation that will define him. Sequel to Buried Treasure and Transmogrify.

You mean to say that Potter's family is coincidentally staying across the street from our beach house for the summer, Mum and Mrs. Potter are now randomly best friends, and they expect me to hang out with that git for two months? You've got to be joking. (Even worse? There's a sequel.)

A/U - Lily Evans only has one year left at Hogwarts. All she has to do is survive sharing head duties with James Potter, who has never been anything but a bully to her. Oh, and the budding war on muggleborns. She should probably try to make it through that as well.

Professor Potter and Head Girl Lily Evans... The Dark Decline

Lily & James are in their final year and they still can't stand each other; he is still hurting from when she rejected him but is too arrogant to show it and she is too proud to admit that she might have been wrong about him…

She noticed him, of course she noticed him but Lily didn't let her gaze linger. She had always thought James was fit, but she didn't particularly want to. James Potter was trouble and she had enough problems.

After the summer holidays Lily Evans returns for her fifth year at Hogwarts to notice that James Potter has gone through puberty. Most significantly, she notices he is now a lot taller and the height difference is getting on her nerves. Two-shot Jily fic. Second chapter is a bit smutty so rated M to be safe. Hope you enjoy the story, reviews would make my day!

Lily Evans is planning on seeing the New Year in alone, then just getting through the rest of the year with as few problems as possible. Unfortunately for Lily Evans, very little in her life is that simple. Still, what difference can a year make? 1977 through the eyes of L & J. Cover art by Viria. All Harry Potter characters, places etc are the property of JK Rowling.

It was only supposed to be one date. She had said yes simply to make him stop asking her. She figured that they'd go on the date, he'd realize his mistake and then stop thinking that he fancied her and she could go on with her life, James Potter just a small, annoying, blimp in the past. That's not exactly how the events unfolded…

Voldemort's rising reign of terror, NEWTs, death attempts, a Headship, a tangled affair with James Potter, hilarity, grief, love, secrecy, maddness... it's almost hard to believe that I've survived to graduate. I am Lily Evans, and this is my 7th year.

Lily finds herself running into James in a broom cupboard more times than can be considered normal. Cover art by viria. COMPLETED.

In their final year at Hogwarts, James and Lily will deal with the beginnings of a war, the sparking of love, and the sudden tragedy of death and loss. (A seventh year jily fic with the Marauders and and others intertwining themselves into the story)

Moments. They make or break relationships. Lily didn't just happen to fall in love with James. It wasn't an accident, but a long drawn out process that grew out of the relationships of the people around them. And when it came down to it, even Lily and James couldn't fight fate.

This is not just a story about love between two people who were blind to see it, and what it really meant. This is also a story of love between people who have never loved before, and those who think they don't deserve love at all. (James/Lily, Marlene/Sirius, Remus/Dorcas)

Lily Evans has spent years despising James Potter. He has spent just as long worshiping her. When seventh year pairs them Head Boy and Girl, each comes to realize that their judgment isn't quite what they thought it was. This is the same story that was over on Checkmated, but I completed it here. Prequel to Heroes for Ghosts. Warning: this story is a strong M rating.

"We don't deserve her," the Head Boy answered thoughtfully. "None of us do. Not even me. Not because she's perfect. She's not. Sometimes I think she's even more disastrously flawed than the rest of us combined. And not because she's beautiful, even though she is. Certainly not for being lovely because she never was.We don't deserve her because she's so much more than we'll ever be"

Voldemort continues to rise to power as Lily and James deal with responsibilities, relationships and risky encounters that come with their seventh year at Hogwarts. Snape falls deeper into the Dark Arts, with friends like Regulus Black and Mulciber to keep him company. How will Lily and James adjust to the new dark world that is infiltrating even Hogwarts' safe walls? Complete.

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Lily has always considered herself ordinary. But as she enters her 7th year, things start changing and Lily starts going a bit mad. Suddenly, she's Head Girl, her mates are acting strangely, and there's a new James Potter she can't seem to get rid of. PRE-HBP

So when she finds herself unwillingly in the company of James Potter, at first she's furious. "Lily!" James exclaimed. "Happy Christmas!" "It isn't Christmas yet," she muttered. "And I'm hardly happy."

James poses as an advice charm in Lily's diary. He's really got to start thinking through his shenanigans.

A story told from Lily Evan's point of view, beginning from when she first found out she was a witch and ending in her death. My goal is to stick very close to JK's plot line and only fill in the spots she left blank, which are many

From their seventh year till their death three year's later, James and Lily had a relationship that would sometimes be questioned, but never found false- regardless of what they, or anyone else thought.

Lily genuinely liked James Potter. He was handsome enough to make any girl swoon, but he was also funny, clever, and secretly kind. Unfortunately, he could also be rude, thoughtless, spoiled, and cruel. Finding the balance was the tricky part. Author note: James is a jerk. Please don't be surprised.

Realisation sometimes hits you like lightning; thats how it happened for Lily. Even a summer in denial, thinking 'Damn Him' doesn't help. Watch as she comes to terms of her feelings for toerag James Potter. Heavy M especially later. All reviews welcome.

His body pins mine against the wall and his mouth covers mine. Hands, fingers, and tongues are everywhere. This isn't the first time.

Imperfect people sometimes fall into imperfect love. But it's still love, after all, and isn't that the point?

"I think you're an arrogant, selfish pig, and I think you'd be doing both of us a favor if you just left me alone!" Potter stared at me for a moment, an unreadable expression in his hazel eyes, before uttering a single word: "Okay." J/L, Lily's POV.

Lily Evans has become the new Hogwarts Head Girl, but her partner in action, the Head Boy, is her long hated enemy, James Potter.

Potter was going to say that he wasn't my boyfriend. I couldn't let him do that. For the love of Merlin, I could not let him do that. I had to stop him. He couldn't tell her the truth. So I did the only conceivable thing I could think of. I kissed him.
