Lily Luna Potter was sad. It was the day after her brother, Albus
had left for his first day at Hogwarts. Now he and James were both there,
and Lily was all alone. She had no playmates anymore, except for her cousin
Hugo, and he lived too far away to go every day. She sighed. What was a ten
year old to do?
Her mother came in, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hey, sweetie, how are you doing?" Ginny asked her daughter. She could
tell Lily was upset. She had known it would be hard for her without her brothers.
"Oh, Mum," Lily sighed, I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself!"
"Would it make you happier if I told you I scheduled you a play date with
Hugo tomorrow?" Ginny asked. Lily smiled her agreement. Her mother always
knew how to make her feel better. Just like Albus. Lily started to cry, thinking
about her brother.
"Hey," Ginny said, "I know you miss them, but they'll be coming home for Christmas
before you know it. Then summer will come, and next year, you'll be joining them."
"Mum, do you think I'll be in Slytherin like Albus, or Gryffindor like James?" Lily asked
her mother.
"Oh, honey, I don't know yet. But whichever it is, we'll love you just the same." Ginny
answered he r daughter.
"I love you, Mum."
"I love you, too, Lily."
