    Summary

    Summary

    “Yes. I think it matters.” James is shocked at how soft his own voice is, but even more so at the pause in her footsteps. They’re quiet for a second, and then he hears them approaching.

    “Why?” She asks, slowly, slowly walking back towards him, rejoining him at the wall. “Two more years at this place and nobody will care how many O.W.L.s we got last year or who was a prefect or Quidditch captain. Voldemort won’t care. This,” she gestures at the air around her, “won’t mean anything when we leave here.”

    “But it means something now, doesn’t it?”

    It is sixth year and everything has changed, everything is changing, nothing is the same, nothing is different at all.

    This is a story of love and of loss (like every story that has ever been told), and of growing pains and growing up. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, new friendships forged and old ones not forgotten, alone and not alone with their changing minds, falling in love and falling into place when the walls are falling down around them, everything is falling out from under them.

    OR

    A long form, slow burn, canon compliant tale of Lily Evans and James Potter, and all the people they love, have loved, have lost.

    Summary

    This is a story about four friends, three Animagi, two wars and one life. Except, that it isn’t. Not really.

    This is a story about silly nicknames and secret Hogwarts rooms, about Potions Roulette and James Potter's birthday rules. About sketches on bathroom mirrors, about Remus Lupin’s desperate grasp on something resembling composure, and a stupid medal.
    It is a story about cheese and toads, about a map and a spell and Sirius Black's humour - darker than his last name.
    It is about Peter Pettigrew’s obsession with Celestina Warbeck, about Gilderoy Lockhart’s Hogwarts newsletter, about a Ministry pamphlet.

    About it all crumbling down.

    This is a story about prejudice, hurt, loss, and betrayal.
    About self-loathing and a crooked perception, about making mistakes and redeeming yourself, sometimes. And sometimes not.

    Most of all this is a story about love. More than one kind of it.

    Summary

    They say you can never go home, places don't stay the same while you're gone, and people don't wait.
    They say home is where the heart is, an invisible string that slackens or pulls tight when it wants attention.
    Or, maybe home is just a four-letter word.

    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.

    Summary

    Exploding Ministry memos and one or two requisite dragons and cursed magical objects. Old school romances with a dash of new workplace flirtation. James Potter and Lily Evans may have missed each other the first time around…but not this time, if Ministry regulations have anything to say about it.
