lily luna potter,
-smile for the camera-
Sometimes, she really did hate her family. They were too red-and-gold, too known, too…Weasley for silver-and-green Lily to ever fit in. They smothered her, protected her, but what they didn't get was that she didn't need it. She was Lily fucking Luna Potter and she could take care of herself. Maybe that's why she wanted to leave it all.
Ever since she was a baby, she was famous. Everyone knew her name, knew her birthday, knew her favorite colors, and she loved it. She soaked up the spotlight, constantly getting her picture taken with her family. Key word there: family. No one cared about Lily when she was by herself, they only wanted to see her heroic dad, her lovely cousins, her beautiful mum, her brave aunts and uncles. Never just Lily. She wanted the fame (look over here, darling! this way, smile for the camera!) through her own efforts. No one understood why she wanted to be an actress, because they were Weasley's and they didn't do things like move to New York City and fall in love with rock stars– heaven forbid!
But, remember that she really wasn't a Weasley. She was Lily Luna Potter and she did whatever the hell she wanted.
