Lily Evans. We've got her pegged. Good girl, snob, ice queen, goody-two shoes, innocent, naive.... Where did we get this? One passage, in which she defends the unpopular kid. Fair? Not to her. In the end Lily was a savior, but what of the beginning? Lily was not what we've cracked her up to be. She was deep, dark, pessimistic, street-smart. She had seen more then anyone would ever wish to see in one lifetime. She was what would soon become a savior, yes. Yet, at first she was just a broken girl, lost and alone. A girl who wanted to be saved, without the pity involved. She wanted the hole she dug herself to begone. She wanted someone to care. Was that too much to ask?

Every question's a rhetorical one with him, if you take the strict definition of the word, because he can't answer any of them." James Potter and Sirius Black get up to some fun. Which means anything but for poor beleagued prefect Lily Evans. And who exactly is responsible for those knights on the fourth floor, who don't usually sport pink tutus and peg legs? One-shot.

Did you ever wonder why and when Lily stopped hating Sirius Black?

It started as a mutual attraction that lead to an obsession. Lily Evans and Sirius Black were the perfect couple. James Potter and Sirius Black were closer than brothers.
