Chapter 1
"The first quidditch match of the season! Gryffindor vs. Slytherin!" called announcer Frankie Longbottom of Hufflepuff. "And the teams are, on Gryffindor: captain Jessa wood chaser, beaters Fred weasley and Roxanne weasley, keeper Rose weasley, chasers James potter and Scorpius Malfoy, and seeker Albus potter! On Slytherin we have captain weakly keeper, beaters Robets and jones, chasers Matlins, sots, and reeves, and seeker lily potter! I don't think anyone expected that one ladies and gentlemen. And I don't mean her getting on the quidditch team in first year because its obvious she inherited her father's seeking ability, I mean the fact that a potter got into Slytherin! I don't think anyone was expecting that!"
Lily smirked remembering only to well the way the whole great hall – especially her family – had gone deathly silent.
Flash back
"Potter lily!" McGonagall called. Lily walked up to the headmistress happily, as the hat went down on her head she tensed though remembering the fact that she knew she didn't belong in Gryffindor like a lot of her family.
'Hmm being a potter I would usually put you straight in Gryffindor but I can see that like your father you have good qualities of the so called enemy house. Much more in fact than the others so it better be…. Slytherin!"
The great hall was silent, no one had expected harry potter's daughter to end up in Slytherin! But lily tried to ignore them as she walked to the Slytherin table; she waited while her cousin also got sorted into Slytherin.
"Lily why did you get sorted into Slytherin?" her brother James asked her as they exited the great hall.
"Because the hat said I had more qualities of Slytherin than of any other house." Lily said folding her arms. She looked over at her cousin who was being grilled by the rest of the family.
"But why Slytherin? You heard dad, if you wanted the hat could have put you in any possible house." James persisted.
"Well funny enough James I actually wanted to be in Slytherin so stop with these stupid questions, I made my choice so deal with it." Lily snapped walking out of the great hall after a Slytherin prefect.
End of flash back.
Lily smiled again as she flew into the air, enjoying the feel of flying, looking forward to beating her brother the way she always did in practice. The match only lasted about 20 minutes when Gryffindor was up 50 – 70, lily dived, gladly noting that her brother was all the way across the field, as she dived, just as he hand was about to close on the snitch she felt something his the back of her head hard. The last thing she remembered was her hand closing in on something small and round.
Lily woke the next day in the hospital wing with all her family crowded around her.
"She's awake!" said a voice. Hugo, she knew his voice well. Lily sat up groggily looking at her family.
"What are you all doing here?" she asked. "I wouldn't think any of you would come to see a Slytherin." She said this teasingly, but she knew part of her kind of meant it.
"Well we couldn't let our baby cousin sit in the hospital wing all alone, even if she is a Slytherin." That was Fred. Lily looked at the twins beaters.
"Which one of you hit me with a bludger?" she asked glaring at the two of them. Almost the whole family pointed at Fred – except Fred who pointed at his twin Roxanne. Lily glared at him.
"I am really sorry Lils but its quidditch; you can't expect me to not hit you just because you're my cousin." Fred said looking worried. And he had good reason, even though lily was just a first year she was very skilled at the bat boogie hex – James was sure Ginny was giving her private lessons.
"But Freddy dear," said Rose, "that's not what Aunt Angelina said in her howler. Or aunt Ginny," most of the family laughed as Fred winced. Lily smiled smugly that he mum and aunt were standing up for her even if she was a Slytherin.
"Don't worry what they say Lils," said her cousin Lucy, who was also in Slytherin. "They're just jealous we won the match." Lily smiled at that, happy she had won her first official match at Hogwarts.
"Arggg!" Louis yelled ducking as Ginny's owl came in to the hospital wing. Landing on the railing of the hospital bed, it held its leg out for lily to take the letter.
"It's from mum and dad!" she said happily. She then read the letters out loud.
Dear lily.
We are pleased to hear that you won your first match at Hogwarts, from what we heard you were brilliant. We are also sorry to hear that Fred was so much of an idiot to hit you with a bludger, but I wouldn't expect much more from George's son. I do hope your get better soon.
Love mum
Ps. I – along with Aunt Angelina – sent Fred a howler. I do hope that cheers you up.
The second one was from her dad.
Lily
Congrats on an awesome game of quidditch, sorry to hear that Fred got you with that bludger. You know this was a hard game for me to root for one team as I have children on both, so I hope that since you won you are rubbing it in – at least a little bit.
Love dad.
Ps. don't tell your mum what I said about rubbing it in.
Lily laughed at her dad letter smirking at the betrayed looks on her brother's – and the rest of her cousins – faces at what her dad had said about rubbing it in.
"I am so telling mum that dad told you to rub it in our faces!" Albus exclaimed. Lily rolled her eyes.
"That doesn't mean I can't rub it in, I do have permission." Lily said smirking.
A/N what do you think? I know it's a little different – especially the part about lily being in Slytherin – but I read a fanfic where she was in Slytherin and really liked the idea. I might continues this or just leave it as a one shot depending on the amount of reviews I get and whether people want me to continue.
