Notes: Written pre-Deathly Hallows, now A/U. I owe a big thank you to my beta readers. First, Birgit, my official SQ beta, deserves a hand for her helpful comments and unfailing encouragement with the first drafts of this story. And also for her guidance with regards to html! The first version of this story is currently archived at The Sugar Quill (link below).
Acknowledgement also goes to my Perfect Imagination beta, jamc91, who not only spotted and corrected my technical errors with a kind eagle eye, but also offered much valuable input on characterisation, and questioned me on plot relevance.
This story is for all L/J fans who would like a plausible explanation for how Lily’s attitudes towards James changed.
