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

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.

"Want to make him jealous?" James whispered in my ear. I looked again at Severus. His eyes were still on me. "Yes," I growled recklessly. James flipped me around, pulled me up to his body and kissed me before I had the slightest idea of what he was doing.

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.

In their final year at Hogwarts, Lily Evans and James Potter find themselves faced with decisions that will ultimately effect the rest of their lives. I know, another Lily/James story, but if you can't beat them, join them.

This is a story about the mischievous marauders and the people who changed their lives. It is a tale of their lessons; their bravery and their dreams. A tale of good and evil, love and hate. But above all, it's about friendship.

Before Harry, Ron, and Hermione there were Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. This is their story.

James, Lily, and their friends are back to finish their 7th year. Before they can be released into a dangerous and war-filled world, they first have to confront their final Hogwarts days where friendships & relationships will be put to the ultimate test.

It is often said that it is the past that defines the future. In their case, their present day choices affected the Wizarding World as they know it. If she had not opened her heart to him, who knows what would have happened? LE/JP SB/OC RL/OC AP/FL

Seventh year wasn't quite turning out as planned. Lily Evans had always hoped she'd be Head Girl someday, but she never thought she'd be working with James Potter, and she certainly never thought she'd find herself falling for the mischievous young man.

Year 7 was the best of James' life - Head Boy, Quidditch Captain, and finally, the girlfriend of his dreams - until Lily leaves, turning down his marriage proposal. Three years later, opportunity knocks again.

I'm some freaky quill-collecting red-head who never remembers exam dates; my best friends love to humiliate me, mainly infront of a certain sexy quidditch player who happens to be THE James Potter and who I happen to have a HUGE crush on. Merlin help me.

JP/LE, RL/SB, PP/OC. This story follows the Marauders & Lily starting with the summer before their 6th year at Hogwarts. James tries to win the affection of Lily, who thinks she hates him; Sirius is gay and Remus is confused. But, they are happy, for now
