Lily Evans had big plans for her seventh year. She was going to be one of the best Head Girls ever, she was going to whip the prefects into shape, she was going to ace all her NEWTs, and she was not going to let James Potter get to her. (Because he didn't. He had no effect on her whatsoever. Honestly. None at all.) So why aren't things working out to plan?

A modern fairytale. One werewolf, three animagi, a redhead, a potions prodigy, blue blood, foreshadowing, a dark lord coming into full power, love lost, and a future that eventually eclipses the past.

Take James Potter: Quidditch extraordinaire, dashing, handsome, and something of a jerk. Now, do yourself a favor and enter Lily Evans, a sweet girl with an attitude... A story of courtship gone wrong with fibs, fluff, and all-around fun. Excerpt:``"James put down the cushion he'd beaned Sirius over the head with. 'Sirius, the whole point of Evans is that she's not like all the other girls. She's--she's perfect. And there's no way she's falling for me if I just carry her books around for her.' He looked at Sirius flatly.`` Unconcerned, Sirius put his feet up on the table between them and grinned that daredevil smile of his (the one that melted an average of five girls every day.) 'Who says you're just going to carry her books for her?'

What was it that James Potter did to convince Lily Evans to marry him? And what exactly does it have to do with the Beatles? This one-shot, originally in the cookie jar, features a special appearance by Lily's sarcastic watch, and (of course!) the Marauders.

Will the raven-haired, bespectacled young would-be wizard express his love towards the red-haired girl? Don’t run into conclusions.

A series of graveside confessions.

Lily Evans has always considered herself to be a rather ordinary girl. But as she enters her seventh year, things in her life start to change and Lily begins to fear that she is going a bit mad.

Based on the writing style of Meg Cabot’s “The Princess Diaries” series.

Lily Evans enters her seventh-year at Hogwarts as Head Girl, uncertain where she stands with James Potter and hardly realizing that it is the last time she will feel safe from the war against Voldemort. A series of attacks on the castle's grounds indicate the presence of something terrible in the Dark Forest, and signs point to a werewolf. Working together with James and the Marauders, Lily must discover the truth before the school turns against an innocent friend.

Sirius Black had never seen a head of hair quite as unique as James Potter’s. It vaguely reminded him of the time when he’d accidentally run his mother’s cat, Sooty, through the tumble-dryer when he was seven. Black on blue-black, refusing to lie flat, as if clumps were attached to the strings of invisible balloons floating above the other boy’s head. Sirius wondered if he’d purposely styled it like that, or if James Potter had been in a freak potions explosion earlier that day. Either way, it was intriguing.

Sequel to ‘Arrival Unexpected’ and second in the ‘Owl Post Series’: Remus Lupin is learning that time stands still for no one, least of all for the resident teenage werewolf of Hogwarts.

What they don’t know is that outside the walls of Hogwarts, more mayhem is coming their way in a deadly and unexpected form.

Why that whole theory about James doing a Switching Curse with Remus would, most likely, blow up in his face.

My first fic! I probably suck at summaries but don't know it yet. It's a futurefic with H/G and a little R/Hr. Harry and Ginny's eldest, James, runs away because he doesn't think his parents love him.

It was all James's fault, really. If he hadn't convinced me to sneak out then we wouldn't have gone down to the pitch and I wouldn't have had to get dressed for the cold so he wouldn't have told me I looked funny so I wouldn't have thrown snow at him so we wouldn't have gotten into a snowball fight and he wouldn't have picked me up and he wouldn't have tripped so we wouldn't have fallen and I wouldn't have landed on top of him so we wouldn't have kissed and I would have lived me entire life in peace without ever knowing that I was in love with him. See? Completely his fault. Completely. I was just an innocent bystander, really.
