Like Mother Like Daughter

By: Nettie

The air was tense when the first years walked into the Great Hall. Many of them were looking absolutely terrified. The hat sang its' song, then Professor McGonagall began to call out names. She finally came to one name that made the man sitting at the staff table start.

"Granger, Lily,"

A girl stepped forward. She was petite, her bushy brown hair was almost tamed in ringlets, her skin a cream and her eyes, a dark piercing green. She placed the hat on her head, it had barely touched her when it proclaimed her a Gryffindor.

Harry Potter watched her from his place at the staff table. So this was his daughter, Lily, she looked so much like Hermione, the same hair, face, the determined expression in her eyes, but her eyes, her eyes were his.

Lily was talking to a girl with flaming red hair Harry identified as Fred's daughter, Madison.

"So, I know that your mum must've been Hermione Granger, but who was your dad?"

A strange expression flitted across Lily's face "I don't have a father." she said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, what happened?"

Lily smiled wryly "Oh, my father isn't dead, in fact, he is, at present sitting at the staff table. His name is Harry Potter. I have never met him, I have lived with my Guardians, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin practically my whole life."

"You've lived with a Marauder your whole life?" asked Madison, awed.

Lily smiled for the first time. "Oh yes, Sirius has taught me some VERY good pranks." her grin turned mischievous. "And YOU, you have the Wizarding World's most famous joke shop owners as your father and uncle! You've GOT to tell me how your dad makes those ton tongue toffees."

Dinner was over sooner than Lily had wanted. She and Madison were walking down the corridor when she was stopped by Professor Dumbledore. "Lily, I want to speak with you in my office for a moment."

Wondering what she had done, Lily followed Professor Dumbledore down the hall, then she stopped short, and turned around. Dumbledore grabbed her arm gently. "Lily, he wants to talk to you."

Her eyes flared, she looked very angry. "I will NOT speak to him," she said to Dumbledore.

"You will," he said sternly.

Lily turned towards her father.

"Do you know who I am?" Harry asked softly.

"Yes, you are the person who has deprived me of the only family member I posses. So what do you want?"

"I am your father," he said softly.

She glared. "You are NOT my father, you weren't there for my first word, when I took my first step, when I read my first book, when I started doing magic, you were not there when I started school, or got my first pet. Sirius was there, So was Remus, you may be my father in blood, but you are not my father in reality, I have to fathers, and they are Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." with out another word, Lily spun around and walked away.

Harry looked heartbroken. "I am your father," he whispered to Lily's retreating back. "and I love you."

Dumbledore watched after her, he smiled wryly. "Stubborn. Like Mother Like Daughter."
