When Lily's mum dies, smothered by pain she locks away her words, unable to speak. Surprisingly James Potter is the only who seems to understand. He no longer presses his feelings on her but instead shows her a gentle understanding that she can't refuse.

James Potter has a plan. Lily's crush on a certain werewolf is pushed aside, James rains down gifts, and jealousy abounds, especially when James catches Lily and Sirius Black snogging. James will get Lily to fall for him no matter what it takes.

"I can't Malfoy. I've told you this. I don't want you." "You don't know what you want!" Overprotective brothers, secret animagus, and a Slytherine boy who leaves her heart pounding. A boy she hates to love. For Lily Potter this year is unlike any other.
