Chapter 2:Keep her safe
"With one last look at the Potter's house, the man stepped on his broom and flew to the closest hospital outside of Godric's Hollow."
He landed in the side alley then quietly walked into the hospital, leaving the baby girl on a chair in the lobby, with a note. It read;
My daughter can not be subject to my life. She deserves better, a safe home-not a hidden corner. I love my
little girl, but her mother's dead, and I can't take care of her in my position. I'm stuck, on the wrong
side of a war that's been going on for far too long, and I can't put a tiny child like her in to this. Find
her a safe home. If I live, I'll see her when she's eleven...I hope.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------STS
P.S. Her name is Lilian. Lilian Eileen.. ...Whatever her last name will be...She can't have mine... not yet.
P.P.S. Call her Lily. And give this to her when she'll understand.
The distraught father swept from the large room, silently, detected by none. The sleeping child in the chair woke a few minutes later, and her cries attracted a nurse, who took the her to the maternity ward. A slight shadow outside the front doors disappeared with a quiet pop as the nurse hit the button on the elevator.
Days after, When Little Lily was a week old, a young couple came in, looking to adopt a baby. Ten days after that, Lilian Eileen Scoggins, born August First of that year, was taken home as the newest member of her family. For seven years, the black haired, dark eyed girl had a fairly normal life. However, as she turned eight, nine, ten, years old, strange things happened around her. She dropped a very fragile glass ornament to the floor, and it didn't break. She, whilst playing soccer(FOOTBALL, to you non-American folks!)kicked the ball, from the halfway line all the way into the other team's goal...while she stood in the goalie box. She dropped her eraser in class, and it landed on thin air, before she glanced at it, and it returned to her hand, and after forgetting her homework at home, she pulled it from her folder during class. She was most definitely a witch. Three days before her eleventh birthday, she received a letter in the mail, that changed her life forever. It was from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On September first, Lily stepped onto Platform 9 3/4.
Lily pulled her trunk behind her, onto the bright red train, and slowly smiled, her dark eyes glinting. Her father had said ' I'll see her when she's eleven.' This must be what he meant. He must have been a wizard. She'd meet him soon. Walking down the aisle, she opened a compartment door. It had two people inside- a violently orange-haired girl, and a spacey looking blond.
Lily addressed the red head{the blond was reading a magazine(sideways)}saying"Hi...Can I sit here?"
The girl smiled, and said "Sure. I'm Ginny. That's Luna. Who're you?"
"Lily."Lily answered, and she lifted her trunk onto the overhead rack.
"Keep my Lily safe" was whispered into the dark air of the dungeon, as Severus Snape prayed for the first time in eleven years-since his first Lily died.
