A Harry Potter prequel. Made for fans, by fans.
Coming October 26.
“How come she married him?” Harry asked miserably. “She hated him!” “Nah, she didn’t,” said Sirius. “She started going out with him in seventh year,” said Lupin. “Once James had deflated his head a bit,” said Sirius.
Whatever else this may turn out to be, it is first and foremost a love story. It is the story of how a boy and a girl came to be—and then to realize that they were—in love with one another. You see, it is probable that falling in love was the most important thing they ever accomplished, and they accomplished a number of quite important things. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart can require time. [x]

↳ “How come she married him?” Harry asked miserably. “She hated him!” “Nah, she didn’t,” said Sirius.
because if we’re being honest, this was probably not initially a happy moment in their young lives.
“Lily,” he began quietly and suddenly, and it was clear in the utterance of those two syllables that this was the real reason for their visit that night; he paused before completing the thought: “do you—do you fancy James?”
It ought to have been a shocking question. It ought to have stunned Lily, but it didn’t. She’d been expecting it—all along, she’d thought that even though she hadn’t told a soul, hadn’t said a word, someone must notice. And she’d known that that was why Remus was concerned for her, and why Sirius had wanted to have a chat, and all of it.
The simple, awful question that she had so expertly avoided all week in the face of Carlotta and Shelley chaos now appeared again: silly and insignificant and awful and painful as before.
She didn’t even really have to answer.
“Please don’t tell him,” she replied softly.

you said, remember that life is
not meant to be wasted
we can always be chasing the sun
