Perfect?
Lily Potter lay awake feeling disappointed even though she had no reason to be, her life would be perceived as perfect by a stranger, as her parents were great and she was doing extremely well in school (in fact she was nearly top of her class) though deep down she knew that something really important was missing. Lily the daughter of the famous Harry Potter whom defeated Lord Voldermort when he was eighteen and married the love of his life Ginny Weasly when he was nineteen. Lily had been going to Hogwarts for six years and had been home for the summer holidays, it was august 31st and the next day at 11o' clock she would be boarding the Hogwarts Express for the last time as she would not be seeing her parents at Christmas as they were always too busy to pay her any attention even when she was home.
The next morning went by in a blur as she was pulled out of bed and in a whirlwind of movement, adrenalin and feathers, she was standing behind a trolley with her owl and trunk loaded on. Her parents left as soon as she had gone through the barrier due to their demanding jobs. Lily took a breath, closed her eyes and clutched at the locket that hung around her neck. The locket had been given to her when she was one, it was gold and in the shape of a heart and she had worn it ever since, strangely the locket wouldn't open even though Lily had tried to pry it open and had used countless spells, at one point she had resorted to shouting at it to open. As she stood there on platform 9 ¾ she wished to have a romance this year and to fall in love, oh she so desperately wanted to fall I love.
The locket opened. Hearing the small clicks she glanced down at the locket that lay in her hand, as she peered at it curiously a faint white light poured out of the gap, Lily glanced about the station, nobody else seemed to have noticed the light in her hand that was gradually growing stronger. Looking back at the locket she saw that the white light had gotten stronger and as she continued to look at it, it got brighter and brighter until it got to a point that it was so bright and powerful that Lily should have been blinded instead it simply surrounded her and her trolley and then it was gone. She blinked and looked at the locket that still lay in her palm but it was now closed, after a few seconds of struggling to open it she conceded defeat and realised that it wasn't going to open. Lily looked up and froze.
