Harry was walking hand in hand with his daughter, Lily Luna Potter. The two were pushing through the sea of families, Diagon Ally was filled with exuberant children and parents. Struggling behind the father and daughter, were the rest of the Potters, Ginerva,Albus and James. Lily whipped her head around and stuck her tongue out at her two older brothers.
Harry could tell she was quite anxious, i...t was her first year to start attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! The two boys walked nonchalantly into Flourish & Blotts, with their exasperated mother, beside them. Harry and Lily followed soon after. While inside the store Harry saw a familiar magazine, with crazy stripes and colorful patterns plastered all over it's front. He chuckled, as he picked up and bought a copy of the newest addition.
Hours later, the family arrived at Platform 9 3/4. A buzz of excitement filled the air, as boy and girls said Good-bye to their family and friends. Albus and James, had already pushed past their parents and were finding the friends they remembered from the year before.
But Lily just stood there.
She seemed to be extremely distraught, causing Harry alarm. She clutched his hand tightly, which made her father smile. He knelt down in front of her, and just looked at her. Harry could tell that she was excited for the new world she would eventually be entered into, oh-so abruptly. But something was holding her back.
"Daddy," She whispered with her head lowered. "What if people don't like me? What if they think, I'm weird or different?"
Her father fixed his glasses, and shoved his hand into the back pocket of his trouser. Harry then handed a magazine to Lily, the same one he had bought that day. "Th-the Q-Q-uib-l-er?" Lily stuttered. She pulled back the cover and Harry saw his little girl's face lift.
"I once knew a girl, who was unique. She wasn't in the norm, and she was never one to be negative. That young girl believed in the strangest of things, when no one else would. She was creative, kind and virtuous. In fact, your name is apart of that girl's. Lily Luna Potter, you are your own person, you are special and there is no one else in this world like you." Harry said.
From that day forth, Lily never forgot those words her and her father shared. She continued to be enthusiastic and optimistic, and imaginative. Even when people insisted that Dabberblimps did not exist.
