when you were younger,
(carefree and innocent)
you thought being a teenager would mean many things.
(sweet first dates and best friends and nights under the stars)
you expected adventures, stories that you could tell your grandchildren someday
(not constricting labels weighing you down, tearing you apart)
but you didn't expect to be stuck to feel pressured, trapped,
like there will never be a way out
after all, all you'll ever be is his daughter
(the great Harry Potter, he saved the world, don't you know?)
And most of all, you didn't expect to feel so alone.
all anyone ever saw you as was Lily LunaPotter
they stopped as soon as they reached your last name
so you decided you wanted to be different
(unique)
you demanded the Hat to put you in Slytherin
(it did)
you found your true friends there
they didn't judge you by your last name
(hell, they hated it. and your brothers.)
and then you met him, your knight in shining armor
he was bogged down by his last name too
you connected
(you fell in love)
your fifth year, you moved out
(your parents never understood)
"You were always the sweetest little girl, Lil, what changed?"
you went to the Malfoys'
Draco and Astoria had always been more like your parents anyway
they didn't judge you when you messed up
because they knew what it was like to make mistakes
and to this day, your family refuses to talk to you
except Teddy, Victoire, Dom, Louis, Lucy, Roxy, and Fred
Uncle George, Uncle Bill, Uncle Percy, Aunt Fleur, Aunt Audrey and Aunt Angelina
Teddy and Victoire made you godmother to little Theo too
(you don't really care about the others, anyway)
Scorpius completes you, he listens to you
and most of all,
he loves you.
and you love him back.
really, that's all that matters.
it's you and him against the world
(Rita Skeeter still writes trashy articles about you two)
but you've got your friends, and you've got the family that matters
you're finally happy
and you're not going to let anyone take that away from you
