Lily Luna Potter
Chapter 1
12 Grimmauld Place was especially quiet that night. I knew that because I was the only one awake. I had been tossing and turning all night. The following morning I would receive the Hogwarts acceptance letter I had been waiting for all summer. It had always been tough on me growing up, having to live up to people's expectations in the Wizard World. Being the daughter of the famous Harry Potter I had a certain responsibility to live up to the family name. This year I would attend Hogwarts and prove that I was not living in the shadow of my father.
I awoke the next day feeling crumpled and over-tired. I heard somebody thumping up the stairs far too loudly and sighed bouncing back onto my pillow. I wanted at least ten more minutes in bed listening to the non-existent silence. The loud banging started up again and I was just about ready to push whoever was thumping down the stairs.
I leapt out of bed and flung open the door. Not to my surprise it was James who was running up and down the stairs trying to catch his squawking owl. James was very mischievous and had always been the troublemaker of the family. "James please, make that ruddy owl of yours shut up!" I'm pretty sure I looked quite angry, with my messy bed hair and red face, because James looked kind of surprised. "Look" I said "Just get him back in the cage so everyone here can have some peace and quiet" James scowled "It's not my fault he's so loud, he got out of the cage and has been flying around ever since" He then continued to place the owl back into it's silver cage.
After the dramatic owl issue I decided to have a relaxing warm shower. I spent as much time as I could, rubbing the soapy bubbles all over my body. The shower had lifted my bad mood and I was feeling much better. I got dressed in my red short-sleeved dress and sat at my dressing table, brushing the knots out of my ginger hair. I looked at the girl in the mirror; she was uncertain but confident about what this year would hold. But couldn't be more excited about what could happen. After I had finished taming my hair I walked down to the kitchen in search of breakfast.
This is the first fanfiction I have ever written so I would love some reviews and opinions. I will upload more chapters soon. love Kate xoxo
