Fait Accompli, an irreversible action that has happened before those affected by it knew of its existence. We all know how James and Lily’s story ends, in a way so tragic as to make it difficult to appreciate the romance and love that was their story. There is no happily ever after for James and Lily and so we leave them at a place where they are content, departing Hogwarts, ready to embark on their lives together, hopeful, despite the many challenges they face.

They will go on to give the world their son, Harry, and to die in order to protect him. In doing so, unknowingly they would change the course of wizard history. If James and Lily had not lived and loved, Harry never would have. He would never befriend a lonely Muggle girl, a forgotten son, an awkward, Herbology loving boy or a zany blonde girl. He never would have fallen in love with his best friends younger sister, and the world would never have seen James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna. He never would have restored peace to the wizarding world, all the while remaining ever humble and unassuming. Though it doesn’t seem that James and Lily’s story is one with a happy ending, their lives did not end with their deaths. For as long as their son, the product of their love, lives and gives his love to others, their love too will continue.
