Summary: If you're looking for the usual James-loves-Lily-but-Lily-hates-James storyline, then this isn't it. The thing is, Lily doesn't hate James at all, he can just be annoying at the best of times. As she comes to realise why she doesn't hate him, it leads to the famous love we all know about. Set against the backdrop of a warring magical world where nothing is certain, can James and Lily hold onto each other and fight?

UPDATE August 08: It's FINISHED! Thank you so much to all those who have read and reviewed this story, I have loved your support. i hope there are still people out there who are willing to read it. Keep an eye out for more stories by me! UPDATE February '08: I have changed the chapter names of some of the 'Defied' chapters, to make this fit and to make it more plausible, as I see the 'thrice defying' of Voldemort as happening when James and Lily are part of the Order of the Phoenix.

UPDATE 20th September: I have altered my facts in the chapter 'Once Defied' as I made mistakes in the ages of James and Lily. It didn't matter so much in this chapter but had annoying repercusions for future chapters. It should all now be correct.

Lily's Fancy by norarobertsfan

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Lily Evan's life is just the way she likes it. Nothing much happens unexpected, and she has all she needs: loving parents, loyal friends, a place to call home. So what if she and her older sister don't get along? So what if there are people who hate her for the blood that runs in her veins?



She's on her way to her seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there the rising danger that casts the Wizarding World in shadow, putting every Muggle, witch and wizard alike in mortal peril.



When disaster and tragedy hit too close to home, and Lily starts to close off from her friends, one man takes a stand and pulls her back out. He's been in love with her since youth, and this year is his last chance to win her heart.
