A/n: Yes, I'm starting another story. This one's mostly written out already, i just have to type and post it, so it shoudln't be so bad.
So.. how this one's gonna go- one or two chapters fot the first 6 years at Hogwars. From there, I might write a shory fic about 7th year, or i might just write excerpts like the other years, i havent decided yet. tell me which you'd prefer.
Warnings: none, really, this one's quite tame for me
Disclaimer: OK, most of the characters are actually mine, but they probably still belong to JKR anyway. grrrr
"Daddy! I'll be fine!"
"I know you will Lilia, but still, I want you to be careful."
"How much trouble can I get into? It's only Hogwarts?"
Harry Potter raised an eyebrow at his daughter. "Trust me. You don't want to know the answer to that."
"To what?" Ginny asked as she entered the room.
"Nothing, Mom." Lilia said, slightly annoyed. "When in Uncle Ron and everyone coming over?"
'They're coming in a few minutes, he just sent a message ahead to tell me to keep the fireplace clear. As if it wouldn't be." She smiled mischievously.
"Hello? Anyone home?" A voice called.
" No, Ron. Now go away." Harry called back teasingly.
"Thought so." Ron Weasley said as he walked into the living room.
"Hi Uncle Ron!" Lilia said, jumping up to give her Uncle a hug."
"Lilia. Are you excited?"
"Nervous, actually. Where is everybody?"
"Well, Fred and George are going straight to Kings Cross. Bill's going to our house and them coming here. Percy has no real reason to come, and Charlie's coming here." Ron turned to harry. "Have you given them to her yet?"
"No, but... Yeah, I guess I'll do it now." Harry walked into another room, returning with a large box in his arms. "Lilia, These were your grandfathers, I( came to them throughout my school years, and now it's your turn to have them." He opened the box and pulled out an elegant cloak and an old looking piece of parchment.
"Is that an invisibility cloak?" She asked. When He nodded she took it and wrapped it around herself, laughing as her body disappeared. She took it off and pointed to the parchment. "What's that?"
"This is the Marauder's map. To activate it, tap it with your wand, and say 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good.' It'll show you Hogwarts and what everyone's doing, and where. When you're done, Tap it again and say 'mischief managed'"
"Hello? Harry, Ron Ginny?" Hermione walked in the doorway followed by three red-haired boys. Arthur, Griff, and Ric. (Griff and Ric had both been named for Gryffindor.) Arthur was in his third year, Griff was entering first year with Lilia, and Ric was in fifth year. Both Arthur and Ric were on the Quidditch team. Arthur as keeper, Ric as Chaser.
"Ready to go?" Hermione asked "Bill's taking Louis straight to Kings Cross."
"Yeah, we're ready. Lilia, go get your things."
Lilia walked into the other room, and came running back out with a scream. "Is he mine?" she asked, holding up the owl cage in her hand. At her parent's nod, she hugged them both and went running back into the other room for her trunk. She was stopped by her younger twin brothers, James and Sirius. They both sported her father's black hair, but had Ginny's brown eyes, whereas Lilia had her father's dramatic green.
"Are you really going Lilia?" Sirius asked sadly.
"Yes guys, I am. Today's my first day."
"Do you have to be gone so long?" James asked
"Yes. But don't worry. I'll be back for vacations."
"Well then, if you have to go, we're coming with you. Right?" He looked at his brother and they both nodded enthusiastically.
"Sorry guys. Another couple of years, that's all." Lilia grabbed her trunk, and dragged it into the kitchen where everyone else had started going to Platform 9 3/4 by floo. Harry had never gotten over his dislike of the floo network, so after Lilia had stepped into the fireplace with a shout of "Platform 9 3/4!" He apparated over with her trunk.
They met up at the floo entrance and were about to say final good-byes when a cold voice spoke from behind them. "Hello Potter."
Harry and Lilia turned around, and Lilia examined the man before her. He was fairly tall, had medium length blond hair pulled up in a short ponytail, and cold silver eyes. Standing at his side was a boy looking almost the same, only with shorted, slicked back hair.
"Hello Malfoy. Didn't expect to see you here. I thought they weren't allowing death eater's children in at Hogwarts anymore."
"They're not. That's why Rion's going."
Harry opened his mouth to respond, but the whistle of the Hogwarts Express drowned him out, and he turned to Lilia. "Looks like you've gotta get going. Have fun okay?" He leaned down and hugged his daughter.
"Bye! See you at Christmas!" Lilia ran onto the train and walked down the isle trying to find her cousins.
"Hey wait up a second!" Lilia turned around to see the blonde boy from the platform walking up to her.
"What do you want?" She asked annoyed. She'd heard about Draco Malfoy, and wasn't expecting his son to be any different.
"I'm Rion Malfoy. I'm sorry about back there on the platform. My father's like that sometimes." Lila was taken aback by his apology. He definitely wasn't like what her parents has said of his father.
"I'm Lilia Potter." She said, extending her hand. Instead of shaking it, he brought it to his lips and kissed it. "What did you do that for?"
"What do you mean? My father says that's how you greet a young lady."
"Well I think Your father needs to come into the twenty-first century." She said jokingly. "Hope you don't mind me saying so, but Ryan seems like an awfully common name for your family."
"It's short for Orion. Like the constellation. Apparently we have a whole astronomy theme going on."
"Do you want to come sit with me?" Lilia asked. Rion shrugged with a "sure" and they set off to find her cousins.
They found Ric, Griff and Arthur in a compartment with Angela and Rosie (Fred and George's Daughters) The Weasley's looked up as Lilia and Rion entered.
"Hey Lil." Rosie greeted her as she entered. "Who's the guy?"
"Oh. This is Rion. Rion, my cousins- Ric, Griff, Arthur, Angela and Rosie Weasley."
"Are you all related?" Rion asked, somewhat in awe.
"Well, me Ric and Arthur are brothers, but Rosie, Angela and Lil are cousins. Do you have any siblings?" Griff said.
"No, and my dad's an only child too, so my family's pretty small."
"Only child?" Lucky! I've got two little brothers at home. They start in another three years or so."
"So what house are you going to be in?" Ric asked Rion. "All of us are in Gryffindor, and it looks like Lil and Griff are going there too."
"Oh well... Um... I don't know." Rion Stammered uncomfortably.
"You don't know? Are you muggle born?" Angela asked kindly.
"No! It's just.. Well, I'm not to sure about it."
"Where were your parents?"
"They were both in Slytherin."
There was an uncomfortable moment of silence until Lilia broke in. "Well I don't think it matters where you are. We can still be friends, right?" Rion broke into a smile and she added. "Well, unless of course you start being a total asshole. Then I wouldn't even blink if you died a slow and painful death. In face, I might even laugh."
His face fell until he realized she was kidding, and everyone broke into laughter.
