Hi guys! So this my newest story and I'm really excited about it. Read, review, and let me know what you think. I know this chapters short, but the next chapter has meeting with the rest of the Weasleys so it'll be much longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything you recognise.
Lily Weasley sat at the table in the ministry, a scowl upon her face. It was always the same questions.
"Why Lily? Why did you run away?"
Oh wouldn't you like to know Lily thought with a smirk. However, she knew her cool, calm, exterior would soon vanish. Her parents were coming. Despite the fact she hadn't seen them in the last five years; they still knew her better than anyone else. Lily sighed. She had loved her family once, of course, she just couldn't stand the expectations and all the pressure and – Lily broke off her thought at the arrival of two very familiar figures.
They looked exactly the same as the last time she had seen them, just more aged, with a few more wrinkles. Ginny burst into tears at the sight of her daughter, and ran up to hug her.
"'Lily!" She cried, burying her head in her shoulder.
"Mother." Lily replied stiffly. Harry also came up pulling her into a hug.
"Why, Lil?" He asked softly. Lily didn't reply.
Ginny and Harry were also shocked at how grown up their little girl was. She was nine when they last saw her, still a young girl with a bob and slept with a teddy bear. Now, she was fourteen, scowling, her red hair now waist length, her brown eyes hidden behind designer shades. She was wearing a black and white striped flow-y skirt and a black crop top with thin straps. On her feet were black heels with cut outs in them.
How their daughter had gone from pretty pink skirts to crop tops was beyond them; but they decided they would deal with that later. They presumed it was an act of rebellion that came with growing up.
Lily sighed. She had known going to Diagon ally would be risky but wanted to sort out her bank details and gringotts. And of course, there had to be aurors there.
"Let's go home, sweetie." Ginny said.
"It's not my home anymore, and don't call me sweetie." Lily snapped back. Ginny and Harry looked shocked, and exchanged looks of despair.
"Well, the rest of the family is coming over for dinner tonight, so we better get going." Harry said.
Yay, I already have to face them. Lily thought.
Lily had been allowed to go back to the inn where she was staying and get her possessions, so she had a small suitcase with her.
They apparated back 'home' and Lily groaned when she saw Albus and James waiting for her. When they saw her, their faces lit up with joy.
"You found her!" Albus exclaimed.
"No shit." Lily snapped back. Albus recoiled in shock and the room was filled with awkwardness.
"Your rooms the same, Lily. Do you want to go up and unpack?" Ginny asked. Lily nodded and walked up the stairs.
"And change into something more age appropriate!" Harry yelled after her. Lily just gave him the finger.
Ginny sighed.
"Where did we go wrong?" She said, resting her head on Harry's chest.
