    “Nah, she didn’t.”

    Except, for a little while, she really, really did…

    Summary

    In the end, they died — but before being martyrs, they had been warriors; and before being warriors, they had been students. Then again, in 1976, it was hard to tell one from the other. But, before being anything else, they were simply James and Lily: two awfully temperamental and stubborn teenagers that, somehow, ended up fighting in the same side of a terrible war.

    In the end, they died, but this is a story about their lives.
