The Twelve Days of Christmas by pratty-prongs-princesse [Ffnet. Jily, M, Romance-Angst. Multi chap. 2010].

Summary:  With Alice and Frank's impending nuptials on Christmas Day, Lily Evans is back home for the holidays. As maid of honour, she's unexpectedly thrown together with the best man, James Potter, who has seemingly changed since their graduation. This is a Christmas love story about how the two school rivals went from hate to lust to love while planning a wedding.

                                   There was no mistaking Evan’s voice--                                                         and even less so his patronus.                                        He had been the one to first teach                                             Alice to cast the spell, after all;                                    she had seen his so many times before...

                                            Before her wedding day (without him).                                                 Before the attack that left her crippled,                                                             the attack he warned her of                                                                 just in time...or was it?

                                  Why not stop the Death Eaters,                                                     if he could? (Couldn’t he?)                                             Why warn them at all?                                                      Why not come himself?                                                                          He was her brother...

That was so adorable! I can’t even believe it!
