Thoughts on James and Lily's relationship.

OKAY. I have got very little time but, I need to talk about Lily and James. Now. That simply just can not wait. At all.

First of all, the last girl to call him 'arrogant toe rag', married him. So obviously, he's very different. I'm pretty sure James changed in sixth year, but obviously, Lily wasn't about to go out with him right away, so they started dating in seventh year.

The whole pregnancy thing, I think that they got married first, and I'm pretty sure JKR confirmed that somewhere. Since they defied Voldemort three times, I'm guessing at least one or two of those times were while they were dating. James probably realized that they might die anytime, as they are in the Order of the Phoenix. Come on, he's been chasing after her for so long, I'm pretty sure he loved her before they started dating without even knowing it, and then soon after they started dating, he knew he was in love. Thus, he proposed. Lily, must of been in love as well, as James was in love for quite a while, which means he tried his best to be the perfect boyfriend, in fear of her dumping him, and he obviously wouldn't be able to handle that, and he would've fallen into complete depression. No offense to JKR, but her math really does not add up right. She said that Hogwarts has approximately 1000 students, but when you do the math, it only adds up to about 250 or so. Which also acks up the fact that they were most probably married before Lily got pregnant. That means that they actually got married because they loved each other, not because she was pregnant.

Regarding Severus, he was a death eater. He helped Voldemort kill Lily and James. He does things for himself, and no on else. Don't get me wrong, I still love his character despite everything he's done. He's changed.

If you have read good L/J fanfiction, you'll come to the realization that they are perfect for each other. Especially their cute banters where James enjoys getting Lily all riled up. :) Seriously. Consider reading a full length marauder's era fic. The Life and Times, which is the fic that brought me to blogging and everything, is amazing. It's incomplete, and they are just starting 7th year now, but it's more than twice as long as OotP, so you'll take a bit to catch up. Its so well written and amazing, you have to read it! You'll miss out on so much if you don't read it. I swear. You won't be disappointed. However, if you don't want to read a story with such a huge word count, read Boyfriend by Molly Raesly. That one is amazing too. It's one of my favourite ones. There's this other one called The Story of Four Friends, and it goes from first year, when they all meet, to when they all die. It's so realistic. The best part is that its from Remus's point of view. It's just totally awesome. You have to read at least one of these, if not, ALL THREE OF THEM.

I love how James was a troublemaker, and she was a prefect, and he becomes the Head Boy in seventh year (just imagine Lily's reaction to that), they were opposites, yet they were perfect for each other.

Marauder's Era fan fiction is the best because you know enough about them to know their characters and you have a brief description of what happened, ie. James liked Lily since fifth year, they started dating in seventh year, Snape and Lily were best friends until after the DADA OWL... Plus some parts of the story like when Sirius tried to kill Severus. < That's always amazing in fan fictions. However, there's the question of how James actually got Lily to fall for him, which is where all the fan fiction comes in. :) I love the fact that there's mystery, and I realized that I would be sad if JKR chose to write about the marauder's era as her prequel. It would ruin the mystery and the fan fiction. It just wouldn't be right.

I love Lily in James together so much, sometimes, I wonder if  I'm ever going to find my own James Potter. I'm head over heels in love with him. :)
