Lily Potter could say she was a very lucky girl. She had a huge loving family she saw at least once a week. She had the best parents EVER. She had two amazing brothers. But this. This was what she was waiting for years! Or was she…

On this day, the first of September, she could finally go to Hogwarts. She didn't know if this was exciting or she was supposed to be nervous. But anyways that morning she woke up around 6:00. She couldn't sleep well so she quietly made her way downstairs to make a cup of tea. Downstairs she met with her kitten. Her parents had allowed each one of them to get their own pet. They already had two dogs, a border collie called Fox and a little black puppy which Harry had named Padfoot. Lily chose to get a tiny rag doll kitten. She named her Macy and within the week they became best friends. Lily and Macy were alike in so many ways. They were both small and shy. James chose a cat also, but a black cat. He named his Harvey and Albus got a tawny brown owl named Muddy. Lily quietly drank her tea as she thought of her time at Hogwarts. Lily was a bit worried… she had finished muggle primary school a while ago to prepare for Hogwarts. Lily was a gymnast as well… she was a Level 7 gymnast, started around 2 years old. She managed to get her cousin Victoire, who was a gymnast too, to train her every week in the room of requirement while she was at Hogwarts. Only some of her family knew she was a gymnast though, not even her two best friends, Sarah and Lauren Longbottom who were both her age. Her other best friend was her cousin Lucy and she did ballet. Lily sort of smiled as she sat there, alone at her house. She was the most shy person out of her whole extended family. She didn't want to be known, and hated being judged by her famous parents or her popular brother's. She loved her family but she was judged because she wasn't too popular or she was too shy… thats why she would hang out with Lucy, Lauren and Sarah. She also liked Hugo but he was very… social? popular? Lily was shaking her head. She shouldn't be thinking like that. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her. She looked and spotted her brothers, Albus and James.

"Hi Lily!" Albus said. Albus was the friendliest person you would ever meet , he was friends with everyone, had no enemies and never judged anyone. James was a lot like him however he was the biggest prankster at school.

"Hi…" Lily said quietly. James smiled.

"Excited for hogwarts?" He asked. James was a very nice person to Lily, they were best friends.

"I guess…" She said.

"Oh come on!" Albus said smiling at her.

By that time Lily's parents had gotten up.

"Good morning." Harry said looking at his children who all muttered a hi.

"Oh come on, aren't you excited!" Ginny said as a tear rolled down her face.

"Why are you crying mum!" James said, noticing.

"Well now Lily's gone I'm going to be alone at the house."

"Not completely, you've still got Padfoot… and Fox!" Albus replied.

"Come on Lily! We really have to get onto the train…" Lucy said. Lily was standing there hugging Victoire. Victoire and Lily got along extremely well.

"You'll see me every week Lily." Victoire said smiling. "Have fun!"
Lily hugged her parents tightly until Lucy was basically yelling in her ear they had to leave. She waved sadly, but hopped on the train. They both found the family friend first year compartment. Inside was: Hugo, Roxanne, Sarah, Lauren, Erin Wood, Olivia Jordan, Bronwyn Thomas and Payton Corner. Lucy and Lily quietly walked in and sat next to Sarah and Lauren. as Roxanne, Erin, Olivia, Bronwyn and Payton talked excitedly about making friends Lily stared out the window. All until…

"How about you Lily, what are you excited about?" Olivia asked with a grin.

"Oh um…" She really badly wanted to say gymnastics practice but no one else could know about that. "Erm.. charms!"
"Charms?" Erin asked laughing. "Not even Quidditch? Wow!" All the girls laughed and Lily looked down, upset.

"Come on Lily lets go." Hugo said noticing that the girls were making fun of Lily and Lucy. Sarah and Lauren followed as they made their way towards their own compartment.

"Just ignore them Lily." Hugo said. Hugo was great at comforting. He was friendly and would stand up for any friend.

"Okay…" Lily replied. She smiled at Hugo. Suddenly the door opened and a pair of twins came in. They looked about 1 year older than them.

"OH!" One of them said. They both had dirty blond hair and pale blue eyes. "I thought this was empty… We'll… We'll go…"

"Oh its okay you can stay." Hugo said. They both smiled and sat down.

"Are you guys first years?" They asked and all of them nodded. "We're in our second year. I'm a Ravenclaw and he's a Gryffindor." The one pointed at his brother.

"What are your names?" The other one asked.

"I'm Hugo." Hugo said.

"I'm Sarah, this is my twin Lauren."

"I'm Lucy." Lucy smiled at them.

"… I'm… Lily." Lily said unsurely.

"Lily? Lily Potter?" He asked and Lily nodded. "We know you! You're our mum's goddaughter!" Lily blushed.

"Well I'm Lorcan." The first one who spoke said.

"And I'm Lysander. We saw you when we were little! Remember?" Lily blushed again and nodded. "Yeah! You were 7 and we were 8!"

"Umm… Yeah." Lily replied. Lysander frowned.

"Hm." He said. The next part until Hogwarts was… well… awkward. No one really talked… well Hugo tried to. He kept trying to make conversation with the twins but they didn't reply much, a bit surprised that Lily, daughter of Harry Potter, wasn't too enthusiastic to meet them. The girls kicked the boys out while they got changed and finally the train ride was over. They had arrived at Hogwarts.

They arrived at Hogsmeade where she found Roxanne and the group of giggling girls and someone running towards her.

"LILY!" She heard then a tight hug.

"James!" Lily replied. She smiled as he let go.

"You excited? Go on! Hagrid's that way!" He said pointing. Lily waved sadly and went towards Hagrid.

"Hello Lily!" Hagrid said once she arrived. Lily muttered a 'hello' back.

"No more then 4 to a boat!" Hagrid spoke loudly to all the 11 year olds. Lily, Lucy, Lauren and Sarah all jumped on a boat. Once everyone was sat on a boat they all just started moving. Lily's eyes went wide at the unexpected movement but she had to admit, it was quite relaxing. The boats stopped as they got to the shore and they all jumped off happily and took their very first look at the castle. It was amazing. Ooh's and ah's were heard as they walked towards it. Lily looked at Lucy who's eyes were wide. They grinned and Hagrid spoke again.

"Well here ya go! Hogwarts!" He smiled at every first year. "Come on lets go!" They all followed Hagrid towards the entrance. They got in and right in front of them was a huge double door. The door suddenly opened and Professor Neville Longbottom came in.

"Ah yes Neville." Sarah and Lauren blushed as they saw their father and he winked at them. "The first years."

"Good Luck." Hagrid added to all of the kids who looked quite scared.

"Hello everyone!" Neville said. "Welcome to Hogwarts! I'm happy to see some familiar faces. Soon you'll go inside the Great Hall to be sorted into one of the four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I will be back in a minute once I assure that everyone's ready." With a last smile Neville left and Roxanne and her group began gossiping again.

"Well of course I'll be in Gryffindor!" Roxanne said. "Its THE best!" Lily flinched.

"What is it Lily!" Payton said. While everyone was trying hard to ignore Roxanne and the girls when Payton said this all heads turned. Lily blushed madly and looked down.

"Umm…" She stuttered.

"Will you just leave your cousin alone?" Hugo said towards Roxanne. Roxanne glared at them.

"Not my fault you're all so lame." She said to them. Before Hugo could defend them again Neville came back.

"We're ready for you. Follow me." Nervously, everyone followed behind. All eyes were on them as they walked down the middle of the hall. Lily spotted James to the right with the Gryffindor's and Albus to the left with the Slytherin's. She smiled at both of them. Once they were at the front of the hall Neville turned around.

"Once I call your name come up and sit on the stool." Everyone nodded and he began calling names. People were going to different houses and then…

"Corner, Payton Jen!" Was called. Payton confidently walked up and was soon sorted into… (A.N: I've decided to use middle names too for the sorting)

"GRYFFINDOR!" Payton grinned at Roxanne and went to sit at her table. Lily only payed attention when people she knew were called out, the next person was…

"Jordan, Olivia Ashley!" Very much like Payton she was very confident and her wish came true.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Longbottom, Lauren Amy!" Lily looked at Lauren who was very nervous. She slowly walked up.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" Lily smiled at Lauren as she walked towards the Hufflepuff table.

"Longbottom, Sarah Abby!" Sarah happily walked up.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Lily could just hear Alice and Frank screaming from the Gryffindor table. But at the moment Lily started listening again her heart dropped.

"Potter, Lily Luna!" Lily walked up there slowly but surely.

"Ah yes! Another Potter… well lets look at you. Definitely not Slytherin… or Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff? mm… better be…

GRYFFINDOR!" Lily smiled from ear to ear and ran to her table. She sat right next to James who hugged her tightly.

"Nice Lily!" She heard from the Slytherin table. She looked over and waved to Albus who held a thumbs up. Then she looked up at the Professor's desk. She saw some nice faces there. She spotted Teddy who this year began as the Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher. Then she spotted her godmother, Luna, who was there as the Care of Magical Creatures Teacher. And finally her cousin Victoire who was teaching charms. Suddenly Lily got a nudge. She looked to her side and James said.

"Lily listen!"

"Thomas, Bronwyn Amber!" Bronwyn actually looked a bit nervous.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Bronwyn ran over to the Gryffindor table.

"Surprised to see you here Lily." She said annoyed.

"Oi!" James said. She looked at him then shut up.

"Weasley, Hugo Tyler!" All of the Weasley/Potter kids looked up. But as soon as that happened…

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Weasley, Lucy Gillian!"

"GRYFFINDOR!" The loudest cheer was from Lily who stood up screaming. She also heard Molly from the Ravenclaw table.

"Weasley, Roxanne Katie Alicia!" Roxanne was very confident as she walked up. She looked over at her friends at the Gryffindor table and mouthed 'I'll join you in a minute.' What came next was a surprise…

"SLYTHERIN!" Roxanne's and the cousin's eyes went wide. Lily, Lucy and Hugo were trying so hard not to laugh as Roxie went angrily to the Slytherin table. Finally the last person Lily knew.

"Wood, Erin Makayla!" Erin walked up slowly.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" Lily cheered. She liked Erin. a few more people were called and with that the sorting was finished.

At the end of the night they were all found sitting around the fire at the Gryffindor common room. Lily had Macy sat on her lap purring and James had Harvey on his. They were joined by Lucy, Hugo, Rose, Fred, Louis, Lysander, Frank, Alice and Sarah. They talked and talked about their new time at Hogwarts and how fun it was going to be. The people at Hogwarts were lucky, as the next day was a Sunday.

"Guys maybe we should go to bed…" Louis said. "Its quite late."

"Alright." James replied getting up. "See you all tomorrow.
