In such a fanfiction, James might have been influenced by some dark force or a wrong ideology that led him to become a Death Eater. Lily, on the other hand, as an Auror is dedicated to fighting against the Dark Arts. Their relationship could be filled with conflict, love - hate, and moral dilemmas. For example, Lily might be torn between her duty to stop James and her lingering feelings for him.
This fanfiction could start with James gradually being lured into the Death Eaters' ranks. As an Auror, Lily starts to notice strange things about James. Their story could be a re - imagining of the classic good vs evil, but with the added twist of their pre - existing relationship. It might also explore how the wizarding community reacts to James' transformation and Lily's struggle to come to terms with it.
One possibility could be that in this fanfiction, James Potter's fall to the dark side as a Death Eater creates a complex and tragic dynamic with Lily, the Auror. Maybe there are intense battles between them where their past relationship adds an extra layer of emotion. It could explore how their different paths change their views of each other and the wizarding world.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, James joins the Death Eaters because he is seeking power or has been misled. Lily is then faced with the difficult task of having to potentially fight the man she once loved. Their story could be a journey of redemption for James or a story of Lily having to make a hard choice between love and her duty.
One possible fanfiction could focus on the moments leading up to their death. It might show James trying to protect Lily and Harry until the very last moment. He could be shown using his wand to fend off Voldemort as long as he could, while Lily was huddled in a corner with baby Harry, praying for a miracle.
Yes, there are likely some. While the concept of James Potter as a Death Eater is a very different take on the character from the original canon, some fanfic writers may explore this idea in a way that doesn't involve inappropriate content. You can search on fanfic platforms and look for tags like 'family - friendly' or 'PG - rated' along with 'James Potter Death Eater' to find such works.
One interesting interpretation could be exploring the moment from the perspective of their friends. For example, Sirius Black might have been filled with rage and a sense of helplessness. He was their closest friend, and suddenly they were gone. He would have felt guilty for not being there to protect them, which could be a great source of emotional depth in a fanfiction.
One great fanfiction could be 'Lily and James: A Love Beyond'. It delves deep into their relationship before Harry was born. It shows how they met at Hogwarts, their initial dislike which gradually turned into love. The story also includes their adventures as members of the Order of the Phoenix and how they fought against the Dark forces side by side.
There's a fanfic I've heard of called 'James Potter's Dark Path'. In this story, the author might take a different approach to James' character development. Maybe he was seduced by the power that the Death Eaters seemed to offer. It could also show how the other characters in the wizarding world react to this new, dark James Potter. They might initially not believe it or be in denial.
Well, if James is a Death Eater in fanfiction, it completely alters the dynamic at Hogwarts. James would no longer be part of the group fighting against Voldemort. This would mean that many of the events that happened because of the Marauders' resistance to the Death Eaters wouldn't occur. For instance, the creation of the Marauder's Map might not have been for good reasons. And Lily's relationship with James would be much more complex. Maybe she was initially trying to save him from the dark side, but failed.
There are fanfictions where the pregnancy is a central theme in a story that looks at the family's past. For example, it could be told from the perspective of a family heirloom. The heirloom has been passed down through generations and during Lily and James' pregnancy, it starts to show strange signs. It could be a magical object that is somehow linked to the fate of their unborn child, and as Lily's pregnancy progresses, the mystery of the heirloom unfolds.
One possible fanfiction could be about how James Potter first fell in love with Lily Evans. Maybe it started in the Hogwarts corridors. He saw her kindness as she helped a first - year student find their way. This simple act made James look at her in a new light. From then on, he tried to be less of a show - off around her.
Some fanfictions might depict their deaths very realistically, following the canon as closely as possible. This means showing Voldemort's arrival, his demand for Harry, and the unwavering love of Lily that led to her sacrifice.
