   Summary

   ‘You are so exactly the person I thought you were, James Potter.’ That’s his girl, still so condescending even when she’s put down.
   ‘Yeah,’ he says, not looking back, ‘I guess I am.’

   Lily and James read History together at Balliol College, Oxford. Unfortunately, they just can’t seem to read each other for shit.
