As Lily and James return for their final year at Hogwarts, Lily notices something odd. James is acting like a real person, rather than an idiot content with making anarchy. And she can't help but like him- it. Like it. The difference. Not him, because why would she like him? Slow burn(ish), Jily angst, Jily fluff, Jily in general

The story of one Hermione Granger and Fred Weasley, beginning in fourth year with the Yule Ball. Rated M because by chapter forty or so, it gets down and dirty. Will extend to seventh year and the Battle of Hogwarts and maybe just a smidge beyond that.
