It's 1975 and Muggle-born Lily Evans is certain her best friend has been recruited by the Death Eaters. She's less certain about her future in Wizarding Britain. And she has absolutely no idea how to handle the dark-haired, outrageously privileged, obnoxiously talented toerag named James Potter. A canon-compliant account of the 1st Wizarding War and the teenagers who fought in it.

Based on the movie You've Got Mail. Lily receives a rather odd letter, which leads to a correspondence, a friendship, and an unexpected case of butterflies in her stomach. If she only knew that the person responsible for those charming little notes was her real-life arch nemesis James Potter, she might rethink this whole anonymous flirtation! L/J and all the Marauders, of course.

The Marauders: As four boys grow so does their friendship, and eventually, all their secrets will come out. Chapter 40: Peter worries over James and Sirius and their obsessions, Remus has a heart-to-heart with Sirius, James has his first Quidditch match, Sirius seeks revenge, and Lily gets her relationship with her best friend back on track.

At eighteen years old, James Potter has a lot going on. He's a rising star navigating the politics of professional football, the pitfalls of sudden fame, the fallout from choosing his dream over his father's company... and a serious crush on the red headed new barista at his favourite coffee shop. (Jily, AU)

"I hope you realize that type of idiocy is not going to work on me, Black." "Oh, is there another type of idiocy you prefer?" For the first time in sixteen years of life, Lily Evans realized her answer was /yes/ and her preferred type of idiocy happened to have lopsided glasses and a crooked smile to match.

Lily is dedicated to the pursuit of Truth with a capital T, but in the spring of her 6th year, she's faced with the question of whether the end goal ever justifies a lie. Over the course of an adventure to unearth secrets long hidden at Hogwarts school, Lily is brought closer to James Potter and the person she will ultimately become. And it all starts with an invitation.

A freak accident with Arthur's enchanted Ford Anglia causes a minor explosion and a major change in the Weasley household. With Arthur in a coma and Molly having passed away, Bill and Charlie can't afford to quit their jobs and must support the family from afar. Thus, it falls to Percy to handle the day-to-day, even if he's not sure that he can.

Those in the Marauders' era not only have to deal with the typical struggles and growth of adolescence but must also face entering a society on the brink of war, and the terror and tragedy that comes along with it.

A fancy restaurant. An enigmatic waiter. Hazel eyes, mad hair, a dimple, and Lily's a goner.

Dr. James Potter and Dr. Sirius Black had gotten their lives and careers back on track after the nightmare that followed the collapse of Slytherin Pharmaceuticals, and moved abroad to work in Dublin to get away from painful memories. But they find themselves confronted by their past, their lost loves and arch enemies.

Dark forces are taking over. One of them is a werewolf. One suffers from unrequited love. While the others have problems of their own. To top it all off they are attending the most elite school in the wizarding world. What are four teenage boys to do but cause a little mischief? (OC present)

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

The title says it all.

The summer at Grimmauld Place isn't Sirius Black's idea of a time well spent. The situation becomes infinitely grimmer when he stumbles upon a possible ploy to invade Hogwarts. The war is brewing, prejudices run deep and suddenly growing up means making decisions that no one in their right mind would willingly face. Marauders era, year five.

Whenever James Potter had a crush that felt as if it was spiralling wildly out of control, he wrote the girl a letter. Trouble was, he never intended for any of those letters to be read. Loosely based on To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

With one year left at Hogwarts, you'd think the stress of N.E.W.T.s would be enough to keep everyone occupied. But Lily's friends are getting ideas (and dates), Remus has a secret (or two), James is being strangely well behaved, and things might look quite different by the time these seventh years leave Hogwarts... Rated mostly for language and innuendo.

They met at a bus stop and James only needed ten minutes to fall for her single parent au

Of friendship and betrayal, of love and laughter, of war and growing up. The Marauders' story – from the very beginning. Canon-compliant.

The Marauders spin themselves into a dangerous web of obsession, betrayal and attempted murder during a Hogwarts heatwave. The story of the fifth year 'prank' on Severus Snape. RL, SB, JP, LE. Rated T for some language, partying and violence.

At the turn of 1977, the War is at its peak. Death tolls rising, soldiers on both sides breaking, and hope failing. Imagine all of that going on in your world and also being a hormonal seventeen year old at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There has to be a little time for mischief, right? Jily, BlackXMcKinnon, RemusxDorcas. M for language, sex, and violence.

Transported into a parallel universe, Harry finds himself in the shadow of an evil growing force. Amidst old and new faces and the chance for a family that he never had, Harry must come to the terms that although there are two worlds, there can only be one hero. *AU Dimension travel, No slash, Abuse, Contains Angst*

During a week-long exhibition, professional Quidditch player James Potter encounters Lily Evans, Junior Quidditch Correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

(AU) In 1979, Regulus Black vanished with horcrux in hand, obscuring himself and destroying the locket. When the risen Voldemort calls his followers once again in '95, Regulus makes haste to the home he left behind half a lifetime ago, reconnecting with his estranged brother and settling on a very different side of the conflict. The Order of the Phoenix is reborn from the ashes.

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

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.

From virtually the moment they met, James Potter and Lily Evans were at odds. He was a hex-happy prankster whose talent was comparable only to his loyalty and arrogance. She was a clever student with a kind heart and little patience for those who didn't follow the rules. This is the story of how two apparent opposites came to realize they were, in reality, a perfect fit.

He had spent the last 16 years being dead. Silently watching over his son and his friends. Now after the war had finally been won he woke up. He woke up in the seventies when he was eleven with the knowledge of the future.

Things are finally going James' way as he has become friends with Lily Evans. But staying in Lily's good graces proves harder than James foresees, especially when he and the Marauders finally unlock the secret of becoming Animagi. Tensions will boil over, lives will be endangered, and friendships will end. And all the while, Voldemort continues to grow stronger...

James Potter: popular, arrogant, with a black-and-white ideology. Sirius Black: equally as popular, equally as arrogant, and dangerously reckless. Remus Lupin: dying to be liked. And Severus Snape: walking a fine line between destiny and choice, all the while trying to get his nemeses expelled. A story covering the Willow Incident and Snape's Worst Memory. Canon-compliant.

"The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promise land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la." AU.

Their love story would eventually shape the future of their kind, but these kinds of things tend to take their time.

James Potter has finally begun his journey at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Together with the Marauders and of course one Lily Evans, he will experience the highs and lows of living in the shadow of Voldemort. (I really don't care about the summary...)

What If... Lily Evans wasn't the witch, but Petunia instead? Maybe, just maybe, Lily Evans and James Potter were always going to be destined for each other.

In the midst of war, seven teenagers struggle with finding themselves in a world seemingly beyond repair. Lily Evans' story is told through the eyes of a mysterious narrator-a story of love and loss, war and peace. A story like the ocean as the tide rolls in, pushing and pulling, tearing itself apart but putting itself back together. And coming back. Always coming back.

Bonds between brothers can break – but James Potter has never been one to give up and neither are the Marauders. How would the world have changed if instead of trusting Dumbledore, they'd trusted themselves? Maurader Friendship

He wanted to be brave like his father. He was until the very end. From toerag to hero... The transformation of James Potter.

Sometimes, Lily Evans knew, the world could be kind of a mess. People, too. But maybe, just maybe, she believed everything could be okay. A story about how people can be both weird and wonderful, and all of the ways we deal with it. Starts halfway through 6th year, goes through 7th year. James/Lily

In the face of violence and mystery, a fated love comes to fruition.

Family issues, obsessive boys, and continuous prank after prank. Fifth year at Hogwarts seems set to start off with a bang indeed… First fanfic.

James Potter is Quidditch Captain, one of the best students in his year, and quite popular with the witches at Hogwarts. So why is it the one person he wants to impress the most always seems to think the worst of him.

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.

Part I of the "Marauders" series. This is their odyssey, their poignant journey from people wandering to find their place in the wizarding world, to people who leave an unforgettable mark on its history.

Life is impossible and so are relationships. Anyone could tell you that and anyone could tell you that James Potter and Lily Evans were impossible for each other. Anyone could tell you that life in the Wizarding World was nearing on impossible under Voldemort. Anyone could tell you that love in the midst of war is impossible. But what are words, anyways?

Theirs was a complicated story, one that had been tangled and gnarled hopelessly with plot twists, arguments, embarrassments, and heartbreak since the very beginning in first year. This is the story of Lily and James from 6th year onwards (but with a twist). Rated M for possible future content/excessive swearing/mature themes etc, in progress.

If you are a fan of James and Lily and want to know more about their lives, then "The Rise" is for you. This is the story of Lily Evan's life...Petunia, Severus, James, time at Hogwarts, life after school, Harry. Written in the way JKR may have written it had she wrote about Harry's parents. Explores the deeper aspects of Lily's life and motivations for her actions.

Godric had never been an important person. It was a safe existence. But circumstances conspired against him, and he found himself in the middle of Helga and Rowena's mad plan to start a school.

We know that Lily and James came from two very different households - one muggle and one magic - and that despite differences and adversity they fell in love. How this came to happen, however, is somewhat of a mystery in the Potter world.

AU 6th year PreHBP The pressure of the wizarding world upon Harry, will he crack? A Wizengamot trial, a suspicious DADA Teacher, Occlumency, Dark magic -is it?- not to mention Sirius' death and more pile on top of him. And the small matter of a Prophecy.

Before Harry was born, four Marauders shared a special bond of friendship. Now, one is a traitor, one hero died for his family, one misunderstood man died protecting all he had, and one still lives, a monster reborn every full moon. This is their story.

Love - A wildly misunderstood, although highly malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressures to rise and the lips to pucker. We sing about love in the songs played on the radio, we dream about

“Friendship treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories.” Sirius Black and James Potter are entering their fifth year and it is sure to be an eventful one. Friendship will be tested, strengthened, and lost.

J/L MWPP: James and his stupid snitch, stupid hair, and stupid attitude drive Lily Evans mad, yet James is dying for Lily to like him. After months of reformation, will his dreams ever come true? *Epilogue added. The End! :D*

The reasons people change are multifaceted. Why did James? How did Lily? What brings people together when they struggle even to smile? Mid-6th year through 7th year. LJ
