Summary
James Potter hasn’t stopped asking Lily Evans out since their first year at Hogwarts and she was tired of it. She was tired of being humiliated by the arrogant, prankster, and handsome Quidditch player in front of their classmates. Because the only reason James wanted to date Lily was so that everyone would laugh at her.However, in Fifth year the only things that Lily Evans cared about were studying for her O.W.L.s, trying to be friends with her older sister again and figuring out what was wrong with Severus Snape, because he was his best mate and lately he had drifted away from her and she didn’t know why.
Note
Hiyaaa. This is my first fic in ao3, I started 3 books and 2 other fanfics but I haven't finished any of them and I really really hope I finish this one and something tells me that I will.Anyways, this fanfic is about Lily, her friends, sister and soulmate from her Pov because istg we need more female representation in this fandom. Yes, the marauders are important here, but they will not be in every chapter.My first idea for this was just for one chapter Post-Hogwarts, but as we don't have a lot of fanfics from the girls' pov and I want to read about them, I guess I have to be the one who writes about them.Also I'm not british so is some words aren't accurate I apologize now.
