Summary
It's 1975, and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. She smokes, drinks, and sneaks out her window to go to punk shows. At Hogwarts, Lily never puts a toe out of line. As a Muggle-born, she'd never give her pure-blood classmates any reason to doubt her.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky. But the war with Voldemort is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His aging parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. Voldemort is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act.
But Hogwarts is not split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard. In dark times, alliances shift and secrets are revealed.
And maybe, through it all, Lily and James will fall in love with the person they least expect: each other.

The footsteps stopped. More giggling. Severus strained his ears.
“Merlin, Lily, how many butterbeers have you had?”
His blood ran cold despite the early summer breeze as James Potter’s face came into view.
No.
