Fanatics: Lily Potter.
The opening intro:
Hey, MTV fans everywhere! I'm Alan Smithee. I used to be an assistant on that..."other" person's Fanatics series, but I've broken free and am set to introduce people from "our" world to people from the Harry Potter universe! Now, we're here to try and find my first guest...
Okay, now, we've got to be pretty quiet here...
::ding, dong...::
"ALAN, YOU ASSHOLE! I THOUGHT THE WHOLE FANATICS SERIES UP! YOU TIED ME UP AND NOW YOU'RE STEALING MY IDEA TO BRING IT TO THAT EVIL HARRY POTTER SECTION..."
Well, that's nice....Let me just consult my handy-dandy copy of Harry Potter...Let's see...take my wand out...AVERA KEDAVRA!
"NOOOO!"
Well, I guess this is my idea now...oh, it must be next door. Sorry, still new at these things...
::ding,dong::
"Who are you?"
Are you...Lily's friend*Jess?
"Yes...and I'm calling the police if you don't tell me who you are!"
I'm Alan Smithee with Fanatic, you're going to meet Lily Potter!
"AWESOME!"
Just get right into this limo we picked up, and we'll get you over there in an instant!
"Cool...
Opening thoughts...
"Wow, I can't believe that they've been able to get Lily Potter for me to interview, I mean, I thought that even MTV couldn't afford to bring someone back to life...This is going to be great. I have so many questions that I'd like to ask her and all...I'm just totally psyched."
"Where's Harry? Is Harry all right?"
"Now, Mrs. Potter. Your son is fine. Don't worry about it."
"Can you bring me to him? I've wanted to hold him in my arms again since virtually the moment I died..."
"Just do this interview and we'll bring you to see your son afterwards. Is that all right?"
"I guess..."
"Well, I guess it's cool being alive again and all. I don't really like the fact that they brought me back to do a bloody interview, but at the very least, it's one of my fans...strange that a person like me could manage to get fans, I guess...ah, what are you going to do? Well, I would like to meet her at the very least..."
"WHOA! I cannot believe this...Lily?"
"You can't believe it, try coming back to life for this moment, sister!"
"Wow, I mean...there's so many questions I'd like to ask you..."
"Go ahead and ask."
"Okay, well...How did you and James get together?"
"Well, that's one of those stories I just love to tell...We were both in our first year, but I never really got to talk to him for about three years. Once that happened, I always assumed he wouldn't like a girl like me. I mean, come on, I was one of those girls who spent most of the time studying, he spent all of his time getting into misadventures with his cronies...When he asked me to the Christmas dance during fourth year, I was astonished. When he proposed to me the day we graduated, I was completely surprised...but that's another story..."
"Did your sister always hate you?"
"Actually, for years we were the best of friends. You know, a few squabbles, but what family members don't? Then all of a sudden, I find out that I'm a wizard...well, being in a family of Muggles, that's always cause for amazement, so my parents started paying more attention to me...then my sister just became, well, a bitch to me. I always assumed she was just jealous, because that would have made the most sense."
"Did Peter show any signs that he was untrustworthy?"
"Well, that was one of those cases where it was a toss-up. During that time, if you knew that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had a spy in your midst, you didn't trust anybody. During the whole period, the only people who me and James truly knew were not in league with him was Dumbledore, me, and James. Upon reflection, most of the things that Peter did would have been pretty untrustworthy in this time, and I had some sneaking suspicions (typical woman's intuition, never failed me before...), but James was too serious to let him be the Secret-Keeper once Sirius gave him the request to. Sometimes I feel that Sirius, if he wasn't the most important person in James' life, was at least a very high third after me and Harry..."
"Did you believe the Hogwarts letter when you first got it?"
"Honestly, I thought that one of my family members were playing a joke on me. I mean, when you're from an all-Muggle family, you never truly believe that there are others like you, much less a whole school filled with them. Most of the time, wizards just stay to themselves or claim that it's just amazing ability at the thing that they're doing."
"Did Voldemort kill your parents?"
"Honestly, I don't think he cared about killing family members of Muggles. I mean, if the Muggle family was right there, he'd kill them without a problem, but he never targeted Muggles that I know of... Basically, he didn't kill my parents. My father had a heart attack during my fifth year, and my mother died of natural causes a few years after I left school."
"Who did you have a crush on when you were at school?"
"Besides James? Well, a girl's got to have some secrets.... I will say that in their day, Remus and Sirius were pretty cute, but James was really the only one that I wanted. That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
"How was your life overall?"
"This is one of those questions that is pretty easy to answer. The fact that I can live on in Harry, and that my sacrifice allowed him to live on, allows me to live on some small level for all eternity. Every day that he lives, and his children, and his children's children live, shows that my life and death truly meant something. Even if that didn't happen, I would still say that my life was pretty good. If I could have done it over again, I don't think there's too much I would have changed about it."
"Well, thank you for your time."
"You're welcome."
Closing thoughts:
*// "Wow! She was actually really nice! I mean, I expected her to be really cool and all, but this was just awesome! Look, she signed my T-Shirt! I'm definitely happy...//*
"Well, that was definitely pleasant. She seemed pretty cool. Oh, now can I go see Harry?"
Well, that's another episode of Fanatic...Tune in next time when we interview Eloise Midgen....
"SMITHEE, I'M CALLING YOU OUT!"
Seifer? What are you doing here?
"What? I can't 'wish a writer luck'?"
Oh, you want in on this....GIRLS! Seifer's right here!
"AAAHH! Get his clothes! Get his gunblade!"
Well, tune in for the next episode of Fanatics, I'm Alan Smithee. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
