April 1st, 1978. Two potions. Two plots. Two Marauders. What could possibly go wrong? Only everything-including their lives.
As seventh year continues, James Potter and Lily Evans have both changed. An unexpected encounter in the corridors one snowy weekend leads to several startling realizations, the least of which is that things have definitely changed between them as well.
As they finish their last two years at Hogwarts, the Marauders each gaze into the Mirror of Erised. And they each see something vastly different that will affect the rest of their lives.
Lily Evans is having a bad day. When she decides to take a sip of Felix Felicis and change her luck, things turn out quite different than she anticipates-for both her and James Potter.
Spring, 1979: When both their love and their lives are tested by Dark magic, James Potter and Lily Evans must defy Voldemort for the first of more confrontations to come during the first Wizarding War. Winner, Mugglenet Fanfiction Quicksilver Quill for Best Marauder Story.
It's Valentine's Day, and James Potter is determined to make seventh year one to remember. Unfortunately, so many things go wrong that Lily Evans will probably remember it for all the wrong reasons.
When James becomes the victim of a Valentine's Day prank, Lily is forced to watch over him and keep him out of trouble for the evening. Yet even after a rather long night, she can't help but wonder if perhaps it had been worth it after all.
Harry is about to leave the Burrow for the final time when his six doppelgangers give him something to think about. Set during book seven and based on the chapter of the same name, but having little to do with it, really. Also, winner of the Mugglenet Fanfiction Quicksilver Quill for Best Humour.
When the Hogsmeade weekend is canceled, James proposes a flying race instead. He is surprised when Lily not only enters, but plans on winning. A spirited wager is made, but the race turns darker than anyone imagined, with the outcome quite unexpected.
Seventh year is almost over, and after indulging in the kitchen a bit too much, James inadvertently reveals his deepest fears for the future. Lily realizes he is not quite who she thought he was, and admits to something she had never really considered.
The beginning of the end: ten short scenes from October, 1981.
