Story Summary:
Alice Tyler is ready to start her seventh year at Hogwarts. Despite the growing amount of Death Eater attacks, Alice is determined to enjoy her final year. On her to do list is plotting to get her best friend Lily to finally go out with her cousin James, all the while staying fiercely independent herself, of course. But things are about to happen that Alice didn't intend, and a chain of events is started that may lead to the destruction of her and her friends. The world works in mysterious ways, and sometimes even the best of plans backfire. Slight AU.
