Summary: I’m sixteen years old and I’m in love with a girl who thinks I’m an arrogant, bullying toerag, and I don’t know how to change her mind as everything I do just makes it worse. James Potter, who usually has all the answers, has none for this...


Why you should read this ...
It's not your average L/J fic - in fact, it's hardly romance at all, but a very well done character study of James and the change that came about in him. There's a wealth of detail in this fic that really brings you back to the Marauder Era, with the underlying tensions and general atmosphere of Hogwarts at the time.
