Summary
The moment, tender, everlong, suffuses with a good so like a circle—no edges, no end, always coming back around—and Lily knows, with stark and certain faith, that it’s the kind of good that won’t go out.

Summary
Perhaps the pool had made her bold. The sun and their friends, laughing, and the fizzy pink drink down the back of her throat, and the way water makes you weightless; maybe she overstepped.
But James is leaning his hip against the counter and looking at her like she didn’t—like she was well within her bounds, eyeing him and saying those things, submerged.

Summary
Ginny suddenly realizes two things, in very quick succession: One, that Harry’s never really looked at her that closely before, and two, that he is absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, doing that. Right now.
This is the story of how Harry comes to notice her... but more importantly, it's the story of how Ginny comes to notice that he noticed.

Summary
She knows very well what she’s doing, withdrawing from the swirling ecosystem of the party so she can study the play of emotion on his face — open, friendly — and the hand-waving animation of his speech. (A lampshade totters dangerously, and settles slightly askew.) This is always how she’s done her best thinking. Distance, and perspective.

Summary
The trip that Lily Evans expects to go on is the annual pre-dissertation jaunt to Athens with the rest of her Classical Civilizations PhD program. The trip she does not expect to go on is to 479 BCE, right on the cusp of one of the most important battles in the Greco-Persian war. Now, she has to navigate antiquity as she tries to find her way back to the 21st Century, God—or gods—help her.
James wants to win this war. No, James needs to win this war. He is a man of honor and duty, and even if it means dying a gruesome, bloody death, he will go down in history as one of Athens's great warriors. He will suffer no distractions; not even beautiful ones who speak strangely and refuse to listen to his orders.

Summary
It’s difficult to say when James and Lily took the first steps to love. Perhaps they had always been walking this road, unaware of the person they were walking towards until the mist cleared. They would fall in love eventually — but we would be remiss in ignoring the hiccups along the way.
