Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Harry Potter, or its amazing characters. Wish I did though.
Lily always expected for her seven years at Hogwarts to be peaceful and normal, what with the war having ended more than two decades ago. She thought she would just make it into Gryffindor, get on the team as Seeker, pass her O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s with flying colours and earn a few close friends and a lovely boyfriend in the progress. She thought she would just have to deal with her older brothers and cousins watching her every move and especially boys' every move, but she could handle that. She thought that she would just make her daddy proud with every accomplishment she had in school, no matter what it was about.
She never expected the past to begin repeating itself, to risk herself for another, to be looked upon like her father…or to ever truly see these faces in her lifetime.
